Objective To construct a prediction model for the population with hypertension and diabetes to assess the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted CKD prevention and control measures. Methods Based on physical examination data from community residents aged 60 years and above in Nanjing in 2022, 10 221 patients with hypertension and diabetes were selected as the study subjects. Variables associated with CKD prevalence were screened using univariate analysis, and further variable selection was performed using LASSO regression. Finally, a CKD risk prediction model was constructed based on logistic regression. The model's performance was evaluated using the ROC curve and calibration curve. Results The prevalence rate of CKD in the study population was 22.71%, with a mean age of 71.66 years. LASSO regression identified seven variables associated with CKD: age, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), hemoglobin, uric acid, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR), and medical insurance type. The final logistic regression model incorporated six variables: age [OR=1.067 (95% CI: 1.058-1.076)], BUN [OR=1.377 (95% CI: 1.338-1.418)], hemoglobin [OR=0.992 (95% CI: 0.989-0.995)], uric acid [OR=1.004 (95% CI: 1.003-1.004)], TyG index [OR=1.445 (95% CI: 1.324-1.577)], and self-payment medical insurance [OR=1.732 (95% CI: 1.542-1.945)]. The model had an AUC of 0.759 (95% CI: 0.747-0.770) and a Brier score of 0.140 (95% CI: 0.136-0.145), indicating good predictive performance. The calibration curve showed good agreement between the predicted risk and the observed value. Conclusion The constructed LASSO-logistic regression risk prediction model in this study can effectively assess the risk of CKD in elderly individuals aged 60 years and above with hypertension and diabetes, providing a basis for early identification of high-risk individuals and the formulation of targeted CKD prevention and control measures.

Objective: To investigate and analyze the IgM/IgG antibody titer levels and population characteristics of local type O blood donors, and to provide data support for the establishment of a low-titer group O blood donor bank. Methods: Whole blood samples were collected from 527 type O blood donors. The agglutination of IgM and IgG anti-A/anti-B antibodies at titers 64 and 128 was assessed using an enzyme immunoassay reader. The distribution of antibody agglutination was displayed using GraphPad Prism 9.5. Statistical analysis was performed to compare antibody agglutination differences among donors of different genders, age groups, and donation frequencies. Results: At a titer of 64, the non-agglutination rate of IgM anti-A/anti-B was 71.35%, and that of IgG anti-A/anti-B was 54.46%. At a titer of 128, the non-agglutination rate of IgM anti-A/anti-B was 83.68%, and that of IgG anti-A/anti-B was 70.21%. At a titer of 64, the agglutination rate of IgM anti-B was significantly higher in female donors than in male donors (23.08% vs 13.71%, P<0.05). The agglutination rates of IgM anti-A/anti-B at a titer of 64 decreased with age in different age groups (anti-A: 26.22% vs 18.28% vs 8.49%; anti-B: 19.82% vs 11.83% vs 5.66%, P<0.05). The agglutination rates of IgM anti-A/anti-B at a titer of 64 were both higher in first-time donors than in repeat donors (anti-A: 24.00% vs 15.82%; anti-B: 18.00% vs 10.73%, P<0.05). The agglutination rate of IgG anti-A at a titer of 128 was higher in first-time donors than in repeat donors (26.57% vs 6.21%, P<0.05). Conclusion: The establishment of a low-titer type O whole blood donor bank should primarily target males, donors aged>30 years and repeat donors, with both IgM and IgG antibodies included in the antibody testing scope.

Objective To analyze the factors influencing occupational health literacy (OHL), work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), and occupational stress in medical staff, and to investigate the potential associations between OHL and WMSDs as well as occupational stress. Methods A total of 880 medical staff members from 18 medical institutions were selected as the study subjects using a probability proportional method. Data on OHL, WMSDs, and occupational stress were investigated using the National Key Populations Occupational Health Literacy Surveillance Individual Questionnaire (including the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire and the Core Occupational Stress Scale), and the influencing factors and potential relationships were analyzed. Results The OHL level was 63.1%, the prevalence of WMSDs was 88.1%, and the detection rate of occupational stress was 24.0% in the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that female medical staff had lower OHL levels than males (P<0.05). Medical staff with higher education levels and those working in higher-level medical institutions had higher OHL levels (all P<0.05). Medical staff working >40-<49 hours per week and those working ≥49 hours per week had higher OHL levels than those working ≤40 hours per week (all P<0.01). Medical staff with higher education levels or longer working hours had a higher risk of WMSDs (all P<0.05). Medical staff with lower monthly personal income, longer weekly working hours, and lower OHL levels had a higher risk of occupational stress (all P<0.05), and those working night shifts had a higher risk of occupational stress than those who did not (P<0.01). Conclusion The study participants had a relatively high level of OHL, a high prevalence of WMSDs, and a low detection rate of occupational stress. It is recommended that medical institutions effectively implement occupational health promotion and support measures to improve the OHL level of medical staff, to reduce the risk of WMSDs and occupational stress.

Objective To analyze the current status and influencing factors of occupational health literacy (OHL) among noise-exposed workers in the automotive manufacturing industry. Methods A total of 1 188 front-line workers in noise-exposed positions in the automotive manufacturing industry were selected by judgment sampling method. The OHL status of the workers was investigated using the Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Population, and the influencing factors of OHL were analyzed. Results The overall OHL level was 30.13% (358/1 188). The result of binary logistic regression analysis showed that marital status, educational level, personal monthly income, household registration, enterprise scale and weekly working hours were influencing factors of OHL level (all P<0.05). Specifically, being married, having a high school education or higher, monthly personal income >5 000 yuan, being from a non-agricultural household, working in a medium-sized enterprise, and working more than >40-48 hours per week were protective factors for high OHL levels (all P<0.05). Conclusion There is considerable room for improvement in the OHL of noise-exposed workers in the automotive manufacturing industry. Focus should be placed on workers who are unmarried, widowed, or divorced, have educational levels below high school, earn less than 5 000 yuan per month, have agricultural household registrations, work in small or micro-sized enterprises, or work ≤40 hours per week, with targeted strategies to improve their overall OHL level.

Objective To analyze the factors influencing the occupational health literacy (OHL) level among workers in key industries from the perspectives of both individual workers and enterprises. Methods A total of 32 336 front-line workers from 12 key industries in the secondary industry in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects by a stratified cluster random sampling method. Their OHL level was investigated using Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results The OHL level of the research subjects was 48.5%. The OHL level of the research subjects in four dimensions from high to low was basic knowledge of occupational health protection, occupational health practice and behavior, legal knowledge of occupational health, and basic skills of occupational health protection (80.7%, 61.2%, 48.3% and 29.5%, respectively). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the OHL level of female workers was lower than that of males (P<0.05). Lower OHL was also associated with older age, lower education level, lower personal monthly income of workers (all P<0.01). The workers with length of service < 3 years and ≥ 20 years had lower OHL level than those with length of service 3-<10 years and 10-<20 years, respectively (all P<0.05). Workers in larger enterprises had higher OHL levels (all P<0.01). The OHL level of workers in the sixth category of industries with occupational injuries had higher occupational injury risks than those in the third and fourth categories (all P<0.05). The OHL levels of workers in state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises, and other enterprises were higher than that of workers in public institutions (all P<0.05). Conclusion The influencing factors of workers′ OHL in key industries of the secondary industry include individual factors (gender, age, education level, personal monthly income, length of service) and enterprise factors (enterprise size, enterprise nature and industry injury risk category). Female, older workers, those with lower education or income, and those with short length of service represent priority groups for OHL interventions, while small and micro enterprises are priority units for future workplace health promotion intervention.

Objective: To investigate whether TYRO protein tyrosine kinase-binding protein (TYROBP) affects the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK) pathway. Methods: Key genes in DKD were identified through bioinformatics analysis . Immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) were used to validate the expression levels of TYROBP in a DKD mouse model and high glucose-stimulated NRK-52E cells . NRK-52E cell models with stable TYROBP overexpression/knockdown and their corresponding empty vector (ev) /scrambled sequence (ss) controls were established via lentiviral trans- fection . Cells were treated with 5 . 5 mmol/L or 30. 0 mmol/L glucose for 72 hours to mimic normal glucose (NG) and high glucose ( HG) conditions , respectively. High glucose medium containing 3 . 5 μmol/L FR180204 was used for ERK inhibitor intervention . The experiment included seven groups : ev + NG , ev + HG , oe-TYROBP + HG , ss + NG , ss + HG , sh-TYROBP + HG , and sh-TYROBP + HG + ERK inhibitor. Western blot was used to de- tect the expression levels of phosphorylated ERK/total ERK (p-ERK/ERK) , apoptosis-related proteins B-cell lym- phoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein ( Bax) , and epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT)-related proteins E-cadherin and α-smooth muscle actin ( α-SMA) . Tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) staining and Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (Annexin V-FITC/PI) flow cytometry were performed to as- sess mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis levels . Results: Bioinformatics analysis identified TYROBP as a key gene in DKD . In vivo and in vitro validation showed increased TYROBP mRNA levels in DKD models . The results from the HG model indicated that , compared to the ev + NG/ss + NG group , the ev + HG/ss + HG group demonstrated increased p-ERK/ERK expression , reduced mitochondrial membrane potential , elevated apoptosis , and enhanced EMT. In TYROBP-perturbed NRK-52E cells , compared to the ev + HG group , the oe-TYROBP + HG group showed decreased p-ERK/ERK expression (P < 0. 01) , increased mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0. 05) , reduced apoptosis (P < 0. 001) , and attenuated EMT; whereas compared to the ss + HG group , the sh- TYROBP + HG group exhibited increased p-ERK/ERK expression ( P < 0. 001) , decreased mitochondrial mem- brane potential (P < 0. 01) , elevated apoptosis (P < 0. 001) , and enhanced EMT. Furthermore , compared to the sh-TYROBP + HG group , the sh-TYROBP + HG + ERK inhibitor group displayed reduced p-ERK/ERK expression (P < 0. 01) , increased mitochondrial membrane potential ( P < 0. 001) , decreased apoptosis ( P < 0. 001) , and suppressed EMT. Compared with the scrambled sequence control + high glucose group , the TYROBP knockdown + high glucose group showed elevated p-ERK/ERK expression ( P < 0. 001) , reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0. 01) , increased apoptosis level (P < 0. 001) , and enhanced EMT. Compared with the TYROBP knockdown + high glucose group , the TYROBP knockdown + high glucose + ERK inhibitor group demonstrated decreased p-ERK/ERK expression (P < 0. 01) , restored mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0. 001) , reduced apoptosis level (P < 0. 001) , and suppressed EMT. Conclusion TYROBP may regulate the ERK signaling path- way to modulate apoptosis- and EMT-related proteins , thereby influencing mitochondrial membrane potential , apop- tosis , and EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells and contributing to DKD progression .

Objective To explore the association between long working hours, anxiety symptoms, and insomnia symptoms among footwear industry workers, and to examine the mediating effect of anxiety symptoms between long working hours and insomnia symptoms. Methods A total of 710 workers from 15 footwear manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province were selected as study subjects using a stratified random sampling method. Long working hours, anxiety symptoms, and insomnia symptoms among the workers were assessed using the National Key Population Occupational Health Literacy Monitoring Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Self-Rating Scale, and the Self-Rating Sleep Questionnaire. Binary logistic regression was applied to analyze the associations of long working hours and anxiety symptoms with insomnia symptoms, and a mediation effect model was used to examine the mediating role of anxiety symptoms. Results The workers with long working hours accounted for 69.6% of participants. The detection rates of anxiety symptoms and insomnia symptoms were 17.0% and 20.7% in these workers, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that both long working hours and anxiety symptoms were influencing factors for insomnia symptoms (both P<0.01). Mediation analysis indicated that long working hours had a direct effect on insomnia symptoms, accounting for 67.9% of the total effect. Anxietysymptoms played a partial mediating role between long working hours and insomnia symptoms, with an effect value of 0.18 (95% confidence interval 0.07-0.30, P<0.01), accounting for 32.1% of the total effect. Conclusion Both long working hours and anxiety symptoms are influencing factors for insomnia symptoms among the footwear industry workers, and anxiety symptoms partially mediate the impact of long working hours on insomnia symptoms.
