ObjectiveThis study aims to analyze the pharmacodynamic material basis and multi-target mechanism of action of Banxia Baizhu Tianmatang combined with Danggui Shaoyaosan in the treatment of Meniere's disease（MD）. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC-HRMS） （mobile phase： gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile. Mass spectrometry scanning range： m/z 90-1 300） was used to identify the chemical components of the compound recipe and components absorbed into blood. The core mechanism was predicted by combining network pharmacology （target screening via SwissTargetPrediction and GeneCards databases， and construction of protein-protein interaction （PPI） network by STRING） and molecular docking （evaluated by Autodock， with binding energy ≤ -5.0 kcal·mol^-1）. For animal experiment validation， 36 Sprague Dawley （SD） rats were divided into a blank group， a model group （postauricular injection of lipopolysaccharide （LPS） at 1 mg·kg^-1）， low/medium/high-dose Chinese medicine groups （5.94， 11.88， and 23.76 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively）， and Western medicine group （betahistine at 0.1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）. After eight weeks of intervention， the gene and protein expressions in cochlear tissue were detected. Results①A total of 2 831 chemical components and 173 components absorbed into blood were identified， with terpenoids showing the highest absorption rate into blood（10.28%）. ②60 common drug-disease targets were screened， with core targets including tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α），interleukin-6（IL-6）， Toll-like receptor 4（TLR4）， angiotensin-converting enzyme（ACE）， and endothelial nitric oxide synthase 3（NOS3）.These targets were enriched in the nuclear factor-κB（NF-κB） signaling pathway and renin-angiotensin system（P<0.05）. Molecular docking showed that the active component YC-1 had a strong binding ability to TNF（binding energy-9.66 kcal·mol^-1）. ③In animal experiments， the high-dose Chinese medicine group significantly down-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory factors TNF mRNA（P<0.01）and up-regulated vascular regulatory factors NOS3 protein（P<0.01）， and alleviated cochlear pathological damage［hematoxylin eosin （HE） score： from 4 to 2］. ConclusionThis compound recipe synergistically regulates the TNF/NF-κB inflammatory pathway and ACE/NOS3 vascular homeostasis pathway through flavonoids， triterpenoids， and other components， thereby inhibiting endolymphatic hydrops and cochlear damage. It provides a scientific basis for the theory of "simultaneous treatment of phlegm and blood stasis" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To evaluate the role of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) testing in evaluating early hearing loss among noise-exposed workers. Methods A total of 174 noise-exposed workers in a metal shipbuilding enterprise were selected as the research subjects by the convenience sampling method. Pure tone audiometry (PTA), DPOAE and the level of noise exposure were conducted on the workers. The rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between DPOAE amplitude and PTA threshold. The multilevel model was used to analyze the effects of gender, age, noise exposure intensity, cumulative noise exposure (CNE), hearing loss classification and PTA threshold on DPOAE results. Results At the frequencies of 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00 and 8.00 kHz, the DPOAE amplitude was negatively correlated with the PTA threshold (rank correlation coefficients were -0.12, -0.48, -0.47, -0.18, -0.23, -0.44, -0.19, respectively, all P<0.01). At the most frequencies, DPOAE amplitude was negatively correlated with age and CNE (all P<0.05). The results of multilevel model analysis showed that there were significant differences in DPOAE amplitudes at certain frequencies across gender, age, noise intensity, CNE, and hearing loss classification (all P<0.05). Significant differences in DPOAE responses were found among different CNE and hearing loss groups (all P<0.01). Conclusion DPOAE testing can objectively reflect the hearing status of noise-exposed workers and could be considered for inclusion in routine hearing monitoring to facilitate early detection of noise-induced hearing loss.

Objective To explore the value of ECG-less technology and deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)algorithm for coronary CT angiography(CCTA).Methods Seventy-one patients with suspected coronary artery disease(CAD)were prospectively enrolled and randomly divided into group A(n=35,underwent CCTA using ECG-less technology)and B(n=36,underwent CCTA using physical electrocardiographic gating).CCTA images of group A were reconstructed using filtered back projection(FBP),adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction V(ASiR-V)(50％blending)and high-strength DLIR(DLIR-H),respectively,while those of group B were reconstructed using conventional ASiR-V(50％blending).The radiatio n doses and examination durations of CCTA were compared between groups.Then subjective and objective evaluation of imaging quality were compared between groups and within group A among 3 reconstruction algorithms.Results No significant difference of radiation dose of CCTA was found between groups(P＞0.05).The examination duration in group A was reduced by approximately 29.37％compared to group B(P＜0.05).No significant difference of subjective image quality scores nor objective evaluation of ASiR-V reconstructed CCTA was detected between groups(all P＞0.05).In group A,compared to FBP algorithm,subjective image quality scores of DLIR-H and ASiR-V upgraded,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)increased and standard deviation(SD)values decreased(all P＜0.05),but no significant difference of CT values was found(all P＞0.05).Conclusion ECG-less technology could significantly shorten CCTA examination duration,while DLIR could reduce image noise and improve image quality of CCTA.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among construction workers. Methods A total of 5 783 workers were selected as participants from 12 construction companies in Guangdong Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Zhejiang Province using a convenient sampling method. The revised Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of WMSDs. Results The prevalence of WMSDs was 27.4% among the construction workers. The prevalence of WMSDs in shoulder, neck, waist/lower back and hand/wrist was 10.6%, 9.5%, 9.5% and 9.4% respectively, which was higher than that in other body parts. Bianry logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of WMSDs in construction workers with junior high school education and below was higher than that of high school/ college and above (P<0.05). The risk of WMSDs was higher in drinkers than that in non-drinkers (P<0.01). The worse the health status of construction workers, the higher the risk of WMSDs (P<0.01). The risk of WMSDs in those who exercised once or twice a month was lower than that in those who did not exercise (P<0.05). The risk of WMSDs was higher in construction workers with longer working hours in uncomfortable postures and greater back bending amplitude at work (all P<0.01). The risk of WMSDs in construction workers with hands holding above the shoulder was higher than that with hands below the shoulder (P<0.05). Construction workers who repeated the same work daily, involved in high-temperature work, often worked overtime, had insufficient rest time, and had a shortage of department personnel had a relatively high risk of WMSDs (all P<0.01). Conclusion The prevalence of WMSDs among the construction workers was relatively high, and the most common WMSDs occurred in shoulder, neck, waist/lower back and hand/wrist. Individual characteristic, work type, work posture and work organization are the influencing factors of WMSDs. Comprehensive measures, especially ergonomic measures based on personal and occupational characteristics should be taken to reduce the risk of WMSDs among construction workers.

Objective To understand the characteristics of occupational noise hazards in key industries in Huizhou City. Methods A total of 247 enterprises from 13 key industries in Huizhou City were selected as the research subjects using the stratified judgment sampling method. The worksite survey of occupational health and workplace noise intensity and spectrum monitoring were conducted at key work sites using "questionnaires and on-site inspections" method. Results The rate of noise intensity exceeding national standards was 53.4% (132/247). The median, 25th and 75th percentile of noise pressure levels in workplaces and worksites were 85.1 (81.2, 91.2)and 82.5 (78.8, 86.3) dB(A), respectively. The high-noise workplaces accounted for 50.0% (479/958). The rate of noise intensity exceeding national standard at work sites was 32.9% (303/921). The sound pressure level of noise at work sites was positively correlated with sound pressure level of noise sources (Spearman correlation coefficient=0.73, P<0.01). The top three high-risk work sites for exceeding national noise standards were grinding, frame nailing, and material cutting, with exceedance rates of 84.6%, 81.3%, and 62.8%, respectively. The frequency characteristics of the top ten high-risk work sites were mainly high-frequency noise. There were significant differences in noise spectrum characteristics among different workpiece materials used in similar types of work sites (all P<0.05), though high-frequency noise remained dominant. Conclusion Noise hazards in workplaces of key industries in Huizhou City are relatively severe. Continuous attention should be given to key work sites with high over-standard rate, such as grinding, frame nailing, and material cutting, and noise control strategies should be developed based on frequency spectrum characteristics.

ObjectiveTo analyze the spectrum distribution characteristics of high-intensity productive noise in key industries in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 2 806 enterprises in 21 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using the stratified sampling method. On-site investigations were conducted in workplaces. Noise in workplaces and work-sites, and the noise spectrum of the workplaces with sound pressure level ≥85.0 dB(A) were detected. Results The noise of a total of 23 076 workplaces and 20 969 work sites from 30 key industries were monitored. The median (M) and 25th and 75th percentiles (P₂₅, P₇₅) of workplace sound pressure level were 82.3 (78.6, 86.5) dB(A). The rate of the noise exceeded national standard was 30.4%. The sound pressure level M (P₂₅, P₇₅) of work-site was 78.6 (70.0, 83.5) dB(A). The rate of the noise exceeded national standard was 18.0%. Workplace noise and work site noise were positively correlated (Spearman correlation coefficient=0.86, P<0.01). The rate of the noise exceeded national standard was 46.5% in key work sites where the rate of noise exceeded the national standard was ≥25.0%, and corresponding rate of the workplace noise exceeded national standard was 58.1%. The noise spectrum result of 5 636 workplaces sound pressure level>85.0 dB(A) showed that most of the noise source was from grinding machines (441 cases), and the highest average sound pressure level of noise source was from screening machines [93.0 dB(A)]. Cluster analysis results showed that the main noise sources could be divided into three categories, including wideband noise with levels >80.0 dB in all frequency bands except 8 000.0 Hz, medium-high-frequency noise with the highest sound pressure level at 1 000.0, 2 000.0, and 4 000.0 Hz and low frequencies <75.0 dB, and medium-low-frequency noise below 500.0 Hz with sound pressure level >85.0 dB. Conclusion The rate of the noise exceeded national standard in workplace of key industries in Guangdong Province is high, involving a wide range of industries, with high sound pressure levels and obvious spectrum characteristics of corresponding noise sources. Corresponding noise control strategies can be formulated based on different spectrum characteristics and magnitudes.
