Background Due to the unique working environment and numerous occupational disease hazards, workers in mining industry are particularly susceptible to psychological problems such as occupational stress. Objective To understand the current status of occupational stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and sleep quality of workers in ferrous and non-ferrous metal mining industry in Gansu Province, and to explore the effects of occupational stress on depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep. Methods From April to December 2022, the workers of 25 large, medium, and small and micro enterprises were selected by stratified cluster random sampling and surveyed in ferrous and non-ferrous metal mining industry in Gansu Province. The Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Population, Core Occupational Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-q, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Self-administer Sleep Questionnaire were used to collect basic information, occupational stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality of the workers. Chi-square test was used to compare occupational stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and sleep disorders among different categories. Logistic regression model was used to study the effects of occupational stress on depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality. Results In this study, 2192 workers in mining industry were surveyed, of which 2087 returned valid questionnaires, and the recovery rate of valid questionnaires was 95.2%. Among them, 728 (38.4%) reported occupational stress. There were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of occupational stress among workers by gender, age, marital status, education level, average monthly income, length of service, enterprise size, and night shifts (P<0.001). The positive rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disorders in the mining industry workers were 85.6%, 49.8%, and 47.3%, respectively. The positive rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disorders among workers with higher occupational stress were higher than those among workers without occupational stress (P<0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that occupational stress was a common risk factor for depressive symptoms (OR=3.29, 95%CI: 2.26, 4.79), anxiety symptoms (OR=2.87, 95%CI: 2.33, 3.53), and sleep disorder (OR=1.78, 95%CI: 1.46, 2.16). In addition, length of service and enterprise-scale were also risk factors for depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disorders. In the 5−<10 and 10−<20 years of service groups, the risks of reporting depressive symptoms were 1.80 (95%CI: 1.18, 2.74) and 1.73 (95%CI: 1.10, 2.71) times higher than that of workers with less than 1 year of service, respectively; the risks of reporting anxiety symptoms were 1.98 (95%CI: 1.42, 2.76) and 2.11 (95%CI: 1.48, 3.01) times higher than that with less than 1 year of service, respectively; the risks of reporting sleep disorders were 1.58 (95%CI: 1.15, 2.16) and 1.78 (95%CI: 1.29, 2.45) times higher than that with less than 1 year of service, respectively. Workers in large enterprises were inclined to report more depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances than those in micro and small enterprises (OR=3.53, 95%CI: 2.41, 5.16; OR=2.49, 95%CI: 1.98, 3.13; OR=2.10, 95%CI: 1.67, 2.62). Conclusion The occupational stress level of mining industry workers in Gansu Province is high, and reporting occupational stress, 5−<10 and 10−<20 working age groups, and large enterprises are important risk factors affecting workers' mental health and sleep. It is necessary to increase the attention and develop intervention programs for mental health of miners in the working age group of 5−20 years old and in large enterprises.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanisms of Wenyang Huazhuo Formula （温阳化浊方， WHF） in improving reproductive aging from the perspective of the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. MethodsThe experiment included five groups， 3-month group （20 female mice at 3 months of age）， 6-month group （20 female mice at 6 months of age）， 6-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 5 months of age treated with WHF）， 9-month group （20 female mice at 9 months of age）， and 9-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 8 months of age treated with WHF）. The 6-month + WHF group and 9-month + WHF group were orally administered WHF 41.2 g/（kg·d） once daily for 4 consecutive weeks. The other three groups received no intervention. Reproductive hormone levels were measured by ELISA. HE staining was used to count the numbers of various stages of follicles. Ovarian hyaluronic acid （HA） content and collagen fiber content were measured to evaluate the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. Superovulation was performed to observe the number of eggs obtained， as well as the number of offspring and birth weight to assess fertility. The in vitro fertilization and blastocyst culture of oocytes from female offspring in each group were observed to evaluate the effect of WHF on offspring reproductive potential. ResultsCompared with the 3-month group， the 6-month group and 9-month group showed significantly decreased serum levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， and luteinizing hormone （LH）， decreased ovarian collagen content， and reduced numbers of primordial and secondary follicles. In contrast， the numbers of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles increased. The levels of anti-Müllerian hormone （AMH）， ovarian HA content， and the fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring were significantly lower （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 6-month group， the 6-month + WHF group showed significantly reduced serum levels of GnRH， FSH， and LH， with a significant decrease in primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles as well as increase of AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， and offspring birth weight （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 9-month group， the 9-month + WHF group exhibited reduced GnRH， FSH， and collagen fiber content， as well as reduced number of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles. However， AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， offspring numbers， birth weight， fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring all significantly increased （P＜0.05）. ConclusionWHF can significantly improve the ovarian reserve， fertility， and reproductive potential in offspring during reproductive mid-life and late-life stages. Its effect may be related to the remodeling of the mechanical microenvironment of aging ovaries. Moreover， the effect on the mechanical microenvironment remodeling of late-stage ovaries and the improvement of the offspring reproductive potential is more significant.

Objective To establish a stable,reliable,and clinically relevant porcine model of endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Ten 8-month-old male Bama minipigs were deeply sedated,followed by invasive mechanical ventilation and electrocardiographic monitoring.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was intravenously pumped at 600 μg/(kg·h)for 3 hours,then maintained at 15 μg/(kg·h)thereafter.Dynamic monitoring was performed at five time points after LPS injection(LPS 0,1,3,5,and 8 h),including arterial blood gas analysis and chest computed tomography(CT)scans.Pathological examination of lung tissues obtained via bronchoscopic biopsy(HE staining and transmission electron microscopy)was conducted.These indicators were comprehensively used to evaluate the success of the animal model.Results At 5 hours after LPS administration,8 minipigs developed symptoms such as skin cyanosis,elevated body temperature,and respiratory distress.The oxygenation index decreased to<300 mmHg.Chest CT scans showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.Histopathology revealed alveolar edema and hyaline membrane formation.Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated disruption of pulmonary blood-air barrier,depletion of lamellar bodies in type Ⅱ pneumocytes,inflammatory cell infiltration,and exudation of plasma proteins and fibrin.Compared with LPS 0 h,at LPS 8 h,the oxygenation index and arterial blood pH were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while blood lactic acid and serum potassium were significantly increased(P<0.05);serum calcium and base excess were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the lung injury score based on HE-stained lung sections was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion The porcine ARDS model established by continuous LPS injection can dynamically simulate the pathophysiological characteristics and typical pathological manifestations of clinical septic ARDS,making it an effective tool to study the pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment strategies of septic ARDS.

Objective:To investigate a new method for rapid detection of the MYOD1 L122R mutation and to analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of mutation-positive rhabdomyosarcoma.Methods:A MYOD1 mutation detection kit was developed using allele-specific Taqman fluorescence probe technology. A total of 80 rhabdomyosarcoma samples diagnosed at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2022 to June 2023 were collected for testing. The detection sensitivity, specificity, and consistency rate of the kit were compared with those of the gold standard Sanger sequencing. The demographic, histopathological, and molecular genetic characteristics of patients with MYOD1 mutations were analyzed.Results:Among the 80 rhabdomyosarcoma cases, there were 46 males and 34 females, with an age of onset ranging from 0 to 16 years [mean (6.0±4.4) years], including 32 embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, 18 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, and 30 spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma. The new kit screened a total of 11 mutations, of which 10 were spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma and one was embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Patients with MYOD1 mutations were typically older (four cases over 10 years old) but could also occur in young children (the youngest being 3-year and 2-month-old). The primary sites were the head and neck region in eight cases, limbs in two cases, and pelvic cavity in one case. Among the six patients with available staging information at initial diagnosis, one was classified as stage 2 and five were stage 3, all of which were intermediate risk. Among the 11 mutation patients, six had recurrence and metastasis, with three deaths; the remaining patients had not shown tumor progression until last follow-up. Compared with the wild type group, the expression level of MYOD1 in mutation patients increased significantly ( χ2=10.66, P=0.01), while the event-free survival rate ( χ2=9.925, P<0.01) and overall survival ( χ2=4.53, P=0.03) rate decreased. Compared with Sanger sequencing, the kit achieved 100% sensitivity and specificity. The kit had a minimum mutation content detection limit of 2% and the reaction could be finished within 2 hours. Additionally, this kit might also be used to detect the expression of MYOD1, thereby aiding the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma. Conclusions:The study has established a new method for accurate and rapid detection of MYOD1 mutation in rhabdomyosarcoma, particularly suitable for the formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples in clinical settings. MYOD1 mutations more likely occur in spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma of the head and neck region in children. Patients with MYOD1 mutations have an extremely poor prognosis, which is independent of clinical staging and grading. MYOD1 mutation detection in rhabdomyosarcoma has significant value for auxiliary diagnosis and prognostic assessment.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) processing is a unique and highly distinctive pharmaceutical technology in China. Utilizing modern scientific methods to elucidate the connotations of traditional processing theory and its effects is expected to facilitate the inheritance, development, innovation, and enhancement of TCM processing, and lead to more original research outcomes in the field of TCM. The breakthrough in TCM processing lies in the study of its underlying principles, and analyzing these principles involves researching the transformation mechanisms of chemical components and the biological effect mechanisms of the transformed components. This paper proposed the concept of "TCM processing chemical biology"(TCMPCB) for the first time. Under the guidance of TCM theory, the active components transformed during TCM processing were used as chemical tools to study their targets and molecular regulatory mechanisms, aiming to clarify the scientific principles by which TCM processing affected biological effects in the organism. The research findings also provided new directions for discovering novel active components, new lead compounds, creating new decoction pieces, and developing new TCM drugs. This paper provided a detailed introduction to the background, definition, research content, research ideas, research methods, and prospects of TCMPCB, with the aim of offering new research perspectives for analyzing the principles of TCM processing and providing new pathways for achieving the "four new and eight transformations" in TCM processing.
