Background The positive rate of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among coal mine workers remains high, which seriously affects the quality of life of the workers. Objective To estimate the prevalence of WMSDs among coal miners in Shanxi Province and analyze their influencing factors. Methods From May to December 2023, 2315 coal miners from a coal mine enterprise inShanxi Province were selected by convenience sampling, and the self-administered Basic Situation Survey Scale, Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale were used to evaluate general demographic characteristics, work organization characteristics, living habits, sleep quality, occupational stress, and occurrence of WMSDs symptoms and the corresponding absences (sickness absence) in past 1 year. The positive rate and absenteeism rate of WMSDs were caculated, and Pearson's chi-square test was used for identify influencing factors of WMSDs, and finally a binary logistic regression method was used to further studying the factors. Results A total of 2577 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, and 2315 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 89.9%. The positive rate of WMSDs symptoms was 48.7% (1127/2315), the absenteeism rate due to WMSDs was 22.6% (523/2315), and the waist (17.5%), neck (11.7%), and knee (9.0%) were the most common areas presenting WMSDs symptoms. The results of logistic regression showed that compared with ≤10 years of service, the risk of WMSDs was higher for those with > 20 years of service (OR=2.167, 95%CI: 1.419, 3.311). Compared with the daily working time of ≤8 h, the risk of WMSDs was higher for those >8 h daily working time (OR=1.463, 95%CI: 1.211, 1.767). A higher risk of WMSDs was reported in workers with moderate labor intensity (OR=1.247, 95%CI: 1.009, 1.542) or heavy labor intensity (OR=1.570, 95%CI: 1.215, 2.027) than those with light labor intensity. The higher the education level (OR _{high school and technical secondary school}=1.866, 95%CI: 1.435, 2.425; OR _{junior college/bachelor degree or above}=1.953, 95%CI: 1.445, 2.639), the higher the risk of WMSDs. The risk of WMSDs was higher in workers reporting smoking (OR=1.225, 95%CI: 1.021, 1.470) or alcohol consumption (OR=1.345, 95%CI: 1.122, 1.612). The risk of WMSDs in coal miners with high occupational stress (OR=1.229, 95%CI:1.030, 1.466) or those with sleep disorders (OR=3.616, 95%CI:2.824, 4.629) was higher than that in workers with low occupational stress or no sleep disorders respectively. Conclusion The positive rate of WMSDs among coal mine personnel in Shanxi Province is high, and education level, length of service, daily working hours, smoking, alcohol consumption, labor intensity, sleep disorders, and occupational stress are influencing factors for WMSDs.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and put forward targeted prevention suggestions. Methods The clinical data of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection who were admitted to Chengdu Third People's Hospital from September 2022 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed . According to whether plastic bronchitis occurred, they were divided into plastic group (n=118) and non-plastic group (n=184), and the differences between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistics regression analysis equations were used to analyze the independent influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Results Among the 302 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection , 118 cases were diagnosed with plastic bronchitis. Analysis showed that the children’s age, duration of fever, hospital stay, pleural effusion rate, number of bronchoscopic lavage, allergy history, endoscopic mucosal erosion rate, WBC, NE%, LY%, CRP, LDH, PCT and D-D were the single factors influencing the occurrence of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Binary logistics regression analysis revealed that age (OR=2.137, P=0.033, 95% CI: 1.132-16.603), allergy history （OR=3.028, P=0.014, 95% CI: 1.261-864), NE% (OR=2.395, P=0.031, 95% CI: 1.087-5.274), CRP (OR=3.864, P=0.004, 95% CI: 1.563-3.864), PCT (OR=4.125, P=0.001, 95% CI: 1.793-3.864), and D-D (OR=3.920, P=0.002, 95% CI: 1.632-3.864) were independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection (P<0.05). Conclusion Age, allergy history, NE%, CRP, PCT and D-D are independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection . It is necessary to take clinical intervention measures to reduce the occurrence risk.

Objective To investigate the effect of triptolide on cerebral ischemia- reperfusion injury （CIRI） and explore its molecular mechanism. Methods One hundred and forty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, low, medium, high dose of triptolide group and butylphthalide group, with 24 rats in each group. The CIRI rat model was established by blocking the middle cerebral artery for 2 hours. 3 days before modeling, the rats in each group were ip administration once a day. 24 hours after reperfusion, the neurological deficit score was detected, the rate of cerebral infarction was measured by TTC staining, the blood brain barrier （BBB） permeability was detected by EB penetration test. The pathological changes neurons in the ischemic penumbra cortex were observed by HE and TUNEL staining. The content of inflammatory factors in ischemic cerebral cortex were detected by Elisa method. The expression of TLR4/NF-κB pathway related proteins were detected by Western blot. Results Compared with the model group, the neurological deficit score, cerebral infarction rate and EB content in the triptolide middle, high dose groups and the butylphthalide group were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The pathological changes of cortical neurons in the ischemic penumbra were significantly improved, and the apoptosis rate of neurons was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The content of TNF-α, IL-1β and the expression of TLR4, p-NF-κB, cleaved caspase-3, Bax were significantly decreased, the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly increased, the ratio of p-NF-κB/NF-κB and Bax/Bcl-2 were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The regulatory effect of the high dose triptolide group on various detection indexes were better than that of the butylphthalide group （P<0.05）. Conclusion Triptolide could protect the permeability of BBB, improve the neurological deficit and neuropathy in CIRI rats, and reduce the rate of cerebral infarction, its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB pathway and which mediated inflammatory response and neuronal apoptosis.

Osteoarthritis （OA） and stroke are common clinical diseases that reduce patients' quality of life and place a burden on families and society. Ruyi Zhenbaowan， a classic prescription in Tibetan medicine， have the functions of clearing heat， awakening the brain and opening orifices， relaxing tendons and promoting meridian circulation， and eliminating yellow water. Clinically， they are used to treat osteoarthritis， post-stroke sequelae， neuropathic pain， and other related conditions. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated their anti-inflammatory， analgesic， and nerve-repairing effects. However， current research remains insufficient regarding the appropriate indications， timing， and efficacy of this medicine in treating relevant diseases. To enhance clinicians' understanding of this medicine and promote its standardized and rational clinical use， a panel of national experts， including clinical specialists， Tibetan medicine practitioners， pharmacologists， and methodologists， formulated this consensus based on clinical experience and evidence-based practice. The Cochrane systematic review framework， the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） system， and the nominal group method were employed to generate seven graded recommendations and 19 consensus-based suggestions. These recommendations clearly define the key points in the clinical application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan， including therapeutic indications， dosage and administration， treatment duration， and medication safety. The consensus specifically addresses the clinical efficacy， appropriate timing of administration， dosage strategies， treatment cycles， and combination medication strategies for treating osteoarthritis and stroke and provides an overview of safety considerations. The aim is to provide standardized guidance for hospitals and healthcare institutions nationwide to ensure the rational application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in the treatment of osteoarthritis and stroke， reduce medication-related risks， and further leverage its clinical advantages. This consensus has been approved and issued by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， with the standard number GS/CACM 369-2024.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of miR-346 up-regulated by crocin on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.Methods:The rat model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion was constructed by open-chest ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion. Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group, model group, crocin group, miR-346 negative control (miR-NC) group, and miR-346 inhibitor group with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the sham operation group were only received thoracotomy without ligation. Rats in the miR-NC group and miR-346 inhibitor group were injected with miR-NC or miR-346 inhibitor through the tail vein 48 h prior to ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery ligation. The crocetin reagent for gastric lavage was prepared by dissolving 8 mg of crocetin in 100 ml of physiological saline. Rats in the crocetin group, miR-NC group, and miR-346 inhibitor group were gavaged with crocetin reagent at 80 mg/kg. Rats in the sham operation group and model group were gavaged with saline at 5 ml/kg. The crocetin reagent and saline were gavaged once a day for 15 days. Serum levels of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The miR-346 expression level was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The pathological changes in cardiac muscle tissues were detected by HE staining. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate was detected by TUNEL staining. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western Blot.Results:Compared with the sham operation group, the serum levels of CK-MB and LDH, pathological scores, cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate and expression of cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (cleaved Caspase-3) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax) were increased in the model group (all P < 0.05), and the miR-346 expression level and Bcl-2 levels in myocardial tissues were decreased (all P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, serum CK-MB and LDH levels, pathological scores, cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate, and cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax expression levels were decreased in the crocin group (all P < 0.05), and miR-346 expression level and Bcl-2 levels in the myocardial tissues were increased (all P < 0.05). Compared with the miR-NC group, the serum levels of CK-MB, LDH, pathological scores, cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate, and cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax expression levels were decreased in the miR-346 inhibitor group (all P < 0.05), and miR-346 expression level and Bcl-2 level were increased in myocardial tissues (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Crocin can reduce myocardial tissue injury and attenuate cardiomyocyte apoptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion rats by up-regulating miR-346.

Objective:To explore the application effect of Sihuang Powder application on Yongquan Point in patients undergoing hip and knee replacement.Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select 172 patients after hip and knee replacement in Yantai Mountain Hospital from October 2021 to August 2022 as the research objects. They were divided into the control group ( n=85) and the experimental group ( n=87) by the random number table method. Patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing intervention, while patients in the experimental group were treated with Sihuang Powder application on Yongquan Point on the basis of control group. The fibrinogen content and D-dimer before and after intervention, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs during hospitalization and the length of postoperative hospitalization were compared between the two groups. Results:On the thrid day after operation, fibrinogen content and D-dimer level of the experimental group were lower than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05). The incidence of DVT during hospitalization in the experimental group was 5.75% (5/87), lower than 15.29% (13/85) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The postoperative hospitalization days in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Applying Sihuang Powder to Yongquan Acupoint can effectively improve blood hypercoagulability, reduce the incidence of lower limb DVT in patients after hip and knee replacement surgery, reduce postoperative complications and effectively shorten the length of hospital stay.

Objective:To explore the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients with Stanford Type A aortic dissection and analyze the influencing factors and predictive efficacy of these factors for POD.Methods:Totally 237 patients with Stanford Type A aortic dissection who were treated at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, from May 2020 to February 2021 were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Chinese version of the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT). Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing POD, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive value of each influencing factor and determine the optimal cutoff values.Results:A total of 237 questionnaires were distributed, with 232 valid questionnaires returned, yielding a recovery rate of 97.89% (232/237). Among the 232 patients, 37 developed delirium, resulting in an incidence rate of 15.95% (37/232). Logistic regression analysis revealed that carotid artery involvement, preoperative anxiety scores, postoperative pain scores, and length of ICU stay were influencing factors for POD in patients with Stanford Type A aortic dissection ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve ( AUC) values for preoperative anxiety scores, postoperative pain scores, length of ICU stay, and carotid artery involvement in predicting POD were 0.924, 0.927, 0.954, and 0.718, respectively. Conclusions:The incidence of POD in patients with Stanford Type A aortic dissection is relatively high. Preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, length of ICU stay, and carotid artery involvement are key factors influencing the occurrence of POD in these patients.
