Objective To explore the wearing status and actual noise reduction effect of hearing protectors among noise workers in a typical automobile manufacturing enterprise. Methods In April 2024, an occupational hazard factor testing was carried out in an automobile manufacturing industry, and at the same time, the hearing protection fit test was conducted for noise workers. Intervention and guidance were provided to those who did not pass the minimum standard of baseline PAR. The difference in PAR between baseline and post-intervention was compared, and the effectiveness of hearing protector wearing method training was evaluated. Results The exceeding rate of the company's noise operation post was 50.77% (66/130). The baseline PAR of the subjects with working experience of less than 15 years and wearing hearing protectors throughout noisy work was higher, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with those with 80dB≤LEX, 8h<85dB, more research subjects with LEX, 8h≥85dB failed baseline PAR (39.13%). After intervention, the PAR of the subjects who did not pass the minimum standard of baseline PRA increased from 2.0 (0.0, 5.3) to 17.0 (14.8, 20.0), and the protection level was significantly improved, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion The individual fit test of hearing protector is an important means to evaluate the actual noise reduction level of hearing protector and guide the selection of hearing protection models. Corporate training can help improve the PAR of hearing protectors.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with profound impact on patients’ quality of life and long-term health, and early detection and intervention are particularly critical. In recent years, the search for precise and reliable biomarkers has become one of the key strategies to effectively address the clinical challenges of PD. In this paper, we systematically evaluated potential biomarkers, including proteins, metabolites, epigenetic markers, and exosomes, in the peripheral blood of PD patients. Protein markers are one of the main directions of biomarker research in PD. In particular, α‑synuclein and its phosphorylated form play a key role in the pathological process of PD. It has been shown that aggregation of α-synuclein may be associated with pathologic protein deposition in PD and may be a potential marker for early diagnosis of PD. In terms of metabolites, uric acid, as a metabolite, plays an important role in oxidative stress and neuroprotection in PD. It has been found that changes in uric acid levels may be associated with the onset and progression of PD, showing its potential as an early diagnostic marker. Epigenetic markers, such as DNA methylation modifications and miRNAs, have also attracted much attention in Parkinson’s disease research. Changes in these markers may affect the expression of PD-related genes and have an important impact on the onset and progression of the disease, providing new research perspectives for the early diagnosis of PD. In addition, exosomes, as a potential biomarker carrier for PD, are able to carry a variety of biomolecules involved in intercellular communication and pathological regulation. Studies have shown that exosomes may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PD, and their detection in blood may provide a new breakthrough for early diagnosis. It has been shown that exosomes may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PD, and their detection in blood may provide new breakthroughs in early diagnosis. In summary, through in-depth evaluation of biomarkers in the peripheral blood of PD patients, this paper demonstrates the important potential of these markers in the early diagnosis of PD and in the study of pathological mechanisms. Future studies will continue to explore the clinical application value of these biomarkers to promote the early detection of PD and individualized treatment strategies.

Objective:To analyze the effects of citric acid anticoagulation on coagulation function and inflammatory factors in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:A total of 80 patients with sepsis with high-risk bleeding who received CRRT treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from February 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects, 40 cases were treated with low molecular weight heparin (control group) and 40 cases were treated with citric acid (observation group).Both groups were treated continuously, and the anticoagulant effect, coagulation function, electrolyte and inflammatory factor levels of the two groups were compared 7 d after medication.Results:The total effective rate of anticoagulation in the observation group after treatment was higher than that in the control group: 97.50% (39/40) vs. 75.00% (30/40), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 8.54, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of activated partial thrombin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and prothrombin time (PT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (31.08 ± 8.31) s vs. (41.76 ± 8.36) s, (23.41 ± 5.02) s vs. (29.05 ± 5.13) s, (15.47 ± 3.50) s vs. (19.96 ± 4.75) s, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the levels of potassium, chloride, sodium and calcium between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group :(2.60 ± 0.86) mg/L vs. (4.35 ± 1.12) mg/L, (0.11 ± 0.03) μg/L vs. (0.19 ± 0.05) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of citric acid anticoagulant in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with CRRT can achieve significant curative effect, which can not only improve the anticoagulant effect, stabilize coagulation function and electrolyte level, but also down-regulate the level of inflammatory factors.

Based on the concept of "regulating the five zang organs and harmonizing the spleen and stomach", globus hystericus is believed to originate from dysfunction of the five zang organs and disharmony of the spleen and stomach. Treatment primarily focuses on regulating the spleen and stomach while also considering other affected organs, with a self-prescribed Anpiwei Jingyan Formula (安脾胃经验方) for harmonizing the spleen and stomach as the foundational treatment. Additionally, syndrome-based modifications are applied according to imbalances in the heart, lung, kidney, or liver. For heart-yang deficiency, modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction (苓桂术甘汤) could be combined; for heart-yin deficiency, modified Tianwang Buxin Pill (天王补心丹) could be combined. For lung failing to disperse and descend and fluid retention, modified Sanao Decoction (三拗汤) could be combined; for lung and stomach yin deficiency, modified Shashen Maidong Decoction (沙参麦冬汤) could be combined. For kidney-yang deficiency with ascending counterflow of cold water, modified Jingui Shensi Pill (金匮肾气丸) could be combined; for kidney-yin deficiency, modified Liuwei Dihuang Pill (六味地黄丸) could be combined. For liver constraint and spleen deficiency, modified Sini Powder (四逆散) could be combined; for liver-yin deficiency or liver stagnation transforming into fire and attacking the stomach, modified Yiguan Decoction (一贯煎) could be combined.
