Background The adverse effects of long working hours, shift rotation, and job stress on the physical and mental health of occupational populations require urgent attention. Objective To investigate and compare the positive rates of WMSDs between different industries, analyze the exposure status of long working hours, shift rotation, and job stress among key occupational groups, and evaluate the impacts of these factors on WMSDs in the manufacturing and service industries. Methods The study subjects were derived from key occupational populations in Yunnan Province, recruited by the Chinese National Occupational Health Literacy Monitoring Survey in 2022. A cross-sectional design was used for this survey. The key occupational populations were recruited from the secondary industry (manufacturing industry, metal mining and beneficiation industry, and non-metal mining and beneficiation industry) by stratified random sampling and from the tertiary industry (medical and healthcare industry, education industry, environmental sanitation industry, transportation industry, and express/takeaway delivery industry) by proportional probability sampling, and

Mechanical pain is one of the most common causes of clinical pain, but there remains a lack of effective treatment for debilitating mechanical and chronic forms of neuropathic pain. Recently, neurotoxin GsMTx4, a selective mechanosensitive (MS) channel inhibitor, has been found to be effective, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, with multiple rodent pain models, we demonstrated that a GsMTx4-based 17-residue peptide, which we call P10581, was able to reduce mechanical hyperalgesia and neuropathic pain. The analgesic effects of P10581 can be as strong as morphine but is not toxic in animal models. The anti-hyperalgesic effect of the peptide was resistant to naloxone (an μ-opioid receptor antagonist) and showed no side effects of morphine, including tolerance, motor impairment, and conditioned place preference. Pharmacological inhibition of TRPV4 by P10581 in a heterogeneous expression system, combined with the use of Trpv4 knockout mice indicates that TRPV4 channels may act as the potential target for the analgesic effect of P10581. Our study identified a potential drug for curing mechanical pain and exposed its mechanism.
3.Research progress in emergency assessment of acute poisoning
Chinese Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases 2024;42(4):312-315
Acute poisoning represents a prevalent critical illness jeopardizing patient survival. Early, precise assessment of the condition and subsequent appropriate therapeutic intervention are pivotal in enhancing treatment success rates. Currently, a standardized approach to evaluating the severity of acute poisoning is lacking. Various scoring systems, including Poisoning Severity Score (PSS) , Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) , and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) , offer valuable insights into acute poisoning assessment. Nevertheless, the distinct attributes of each scoring system constrain their broad clinical utility. Confronted with the intricate clinical demands of acute poisoning, the adoption of staged and dynamic assessment strategies is imperative to ascertain the condition of acute poisoning patients with greater accuracy.

Objective To understand the drug resistance surveillance situation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Hainan Province from 2018 to 2022, analyze the drug resistance status and trends of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Hainan Province, and provide scientific basis for the formulation of tuberculosis prevention and treatment strategies. Methods A total of 2 481 sputum culture-positive isolates from pulmonary tuberculosis patients collected from 2018 to 2022 were subjected to strain identification and drug sensitivity testing. Strain identification was performed using the p-nitrobenzoic acid (PNB) inhibition test, and the sensitivity test for six anti-tuberculosis drugs, including Rifampicin (RFP), Isoniazid (INH), Streptomycin (SM), Ethambutol (EMB), Ofloxacin (OFX), and Kanamycin (KM), was conducted using the solid culture proportion method. The drug sensitivity results were statistically analyzed. Results Of the 2 481 isolates, 2 211 were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). The overall drug-resistance rate was 19.9% (441/2 211). The drug resistance rates for initial-treatment and retreatment patients were 15.7% (271/1 729) and 35.3% (170/482) respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=90.65, P<0.01). The mono-resistance rate (MR) was 6.0% (132/2 211), with monoresistance rates of 5.6% (97/1 729) for initial-treatment patients and 7.3% (35/482) for retreatment patients, with no statistically significant difference (χ2=1.83, P>0.05). The overall poly-resistance rate (PR) was 4.1% (91/2 211), with polyresistance rates of 3.5% (61/1 729) for initial-treatment patients and 6.2% (30/482) for retreatment patients. The overall multidrug-resistance rate (MDR) was 8.0% (176/2 211), with multidrug resistance rates of 4.2% (72/1 729) for initial-treatment patients and 21.6% (104/482) for retreatment patients. According to the χ2 test, the retreatment group had significantly higher rates of polyresistance and multidrug resistance than the initial-treatment patient group, with statistically significant differences (χ2=6.94, P<0.01; χ2=155.98, P<0.01). The resistance rates to individual drugs in descending order were 11.6% (251/2 211) to INH, 11.4% (255/2 211) to RFP, 8.6% (191/2 211) to SM, 8.2% (181/2 211) to OFX, 4.0% (88/2 211) to EMB, and 1.6% (35/2 211) to KM. Conclusions The overall drug-resistance rate, poly-resistance rate, and multidrug resistance rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in retreatment patients in Hainan Province are higher than those in initial-treatment patients. Standardized treatment and management of TB patients are particularly important.

Objective:To investigate the value of 3D CT reconstruction in diagnosis of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) combined with syndesmotic diastasis (SD).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 160 patients with CLAI who had been examined by arthroscopy from January 2018 to September 2022 at Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Wuhan Fourth Hospital. There were 64 males and 96 females with an age of (39.8±12.6) years. Eighty-one left and 79 right feet were affected; the time from injury to surgery was (27.3±11.6) months. The patients were divided into a widened interval group and a normal interval group according to the syndesmotic width measured, with 2 mm as a critical value. After preoperative 3D CT reconstruction, the differences in anterior tibiofibular distance, posterior tibiofibular distance, the narrowest tibiofibular distance, fibular translation, fibular rotation, and syndesmotic area (SA) were compared between the 2 groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed successively to identify the risk factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify the best predictive factor and critical value. According to the findings of previous research, the above analyses were repeated to determine the best predictive factor and critical value respectively in the sex subgroup, fibular morphology subgroup and incisura feature subgroup.Results:The binary logistic regression showed that SA was a risk factor for CLAI combined with SD ( OR=1.196, 95% CI: 1.122 to 1.275, P < 0.001). The ROC curve revealed an area under curve of 0.847 and the difference critical value of 22.06 mm 2 that indicated a sensitivity of 80.4% and a specificity of 78.9%, respectively. Subgroup analyses showed that SA was suitable for male and female patients and patients with different fibular morphologies and incisura features but the difference critical values were different. Conclusion:In 3D CT reconstruction, measurement of SA may help the diagnosis of CLAI combined with SD.

Abstract: Objective In order to understand and master the prevalence of different genotypes and the rate of different drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes in Hainan Province, 136 drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains collected in Hainan province in 2022 were genotyped, and to provide scientific basis for tuberculosis prevention and control strategy in Hainan Province. Methods A total of 136 drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains were collected in Hainan Province. The clinical isolates were genotyped using the Spoligotyping technique, and the drug resistance rates of different genotypes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were statistically analyzed. Results Among the 136 strains of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 54.41% (74/136) belonged to the Beijing types, 27.94% (38/136) to non-Beijing types and newly identified genotypes accounted for 17.65% (24/136). The Beijing type included two genotypes, SIT1 and SIT269 genotypes, accounting for 52.94% (72/136) and 1.47% (2/136) respectively. Among the non-Beijing genotypes, the T type (T1, T2, T3) accounted for 21.32% (29/136), the U type accounted for 6.62% (9/136). Clustering analysis of genotyping results revealed two major clusters, Beijing type and non-Beijing type, as well as several scattered novel genotypes. Clustering analysis of Spoligotyping results classified the 136 drug-resistant strains into 3 clusters, with a clustering rate of 75.74% (103/136). The rates of mono-resistance (MR), poly-resistance (PR), multi-drug resistance (MDR), and other types of drug resistance in Beijing type and non-Beijing type were 41.89% (31/74), 13.51% (10/74), 24.33% (18/74), 20.27% (15/74) and 36.84% (14/38), 15.79% (6/38), 26.32% (10/38), 21.05% (8/38) respectively. Chi-square test results showed no statistically significant differences in drug resistance rates between the Beijing and non-Beijing types (P>0.05). Conclusion The genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Hainan Province showed genetic polymorphism, with the main epidemic genotype being SIT1 in the Beijing type. Monitoring of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in this genotype should be strengthened.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia(TIO)is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome in which tumor-induced osteochondrosis is a metabolic bone disease caused by increased renal excretion of phosphorus due to excessive secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23(FGF23)by tumor tissue.We report here a rare case of TIO in which the tumor was found in the hyoid body and the patient had tertiary hyperparathyroidism.The patient's symptoms did not improve after removal of the tumor from the hyoid body,and the patient's hypophosphatemia was gradually improved after subsequent removal of the left parathyroid gland.TIO derived from the tongue tumor is very rare,and also subsequent tertiary hyperparathyroidism is even rarer.This report helps to improve the understanding of TIO and provides reference in the diagnosis and treatment of TIO.
