Objective To analyze the current status of occupational health literacy (OHL) among front-line workers in the metal products industry and to explore its influencing factors. Methods A total of 5 193 front-line workers from the metal products industry in 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects by the stratified cluster random sampling method. The Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations was used to assess their OHL levels. To analyze the influencing factors of OHL, binary logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results The overall OHL level among the participants was 40.0% (2 079/5 193). The result of binary logistic regression analysis showed that workers with lower educational level, lower average monthly personal income, and smaller enterprise size had lower OHL levels (all P<0.01). In addition, workers in foreign-funded enterprises had higher OHL levels than those in private enterprises (P<0.01). Conclusion There remains considerable room for improvement in OHL among front-line workers in the metal products industry. Priority focus is to improve OHL among workers with lower education and income levels, as well as those employed in private and micro- or small-sized enterprises.

Objective To investigate the dynamic balance ability of healthy young adults under different obstacle-crossing strategies,thereby providing a theoretical basis for fall prevention training and public facility design.Methods Twenty healthy young adults participated in the experiment using F-scan plantar pressure analysis insoles.The subjects were required to cross three obstacles with different combinations of height and width.With their dominant foot serving as the leading foot and the non-dominant foot as the trailing foot,the subjects performed both lateral and forward crossing maneuvers,and their plantar pressure data were collected.Results Different crossing strategies significantly affected the adjustment speed of the leading foot's center of pressure in the medial-lateral direction(COP_ML),the area of the 95％confidence circle,ML amplitude,and anterior-posterior(AP)amplitude(P＜0.05).These strategies also significantly impacted the trailing foot's COP_ML adjustment speed,the area of the 95％confidence circle,and the range between the maximum and minimum swings(P＜0.05).For the leading foot,during lateral and forward crossing,the balance parameter values under different heights and widths were statistically significant(P＜0.05),increasing as the height and width increased.For the trailing foot,during forward crossing,the balance parameter values under different heights were statistically significant(P＜0.05),increasing with height,while during lateral crossing,the differences in balance parameter values were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusions Healthy young adults demonstrate better balance ability with the leading foot during forward obstacle crossing,which aligns with the movement habits of the dominant foot and daily activity patterns.The trailing foot exhibits a more stable plantar pressure distribution during lateral obstacle crossing,likely due to a larger contact area and more even center of gravity distribution.

Objective:To establish a predictive model of lateral lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC), and further to compare the diagnostic efficiency of this model with the suspected abnormal lymph node thyroglobulin in fine-needle aspirate fluid (FNA-Tg) for lateral lymph node metastasis.Methods:The preoperative clinical and ultrasonographic data of 110 patients (257 lymph nodes) who underwent PTC cervical lymph node dissection were retrospectively analyzed. According to the postoperative pathological results, they were divided into lateral lymph node metastasis and non-metastasis group. Regression analysis was used to screen out independent risk factors affecting lateral lymph node metastasis and establish a predictive model. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and the best diagnostic cut-off point.Results:Prediction model: Logit( P)=-2.987+ 2.189(S/L ratio of lymph nodes)+ 1.748(hilum absent)+ 2.030(hyperechoic)+ 1.849(vascular abnormalities). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and AUC of the prediction model in the diagnosis of lateral lymph node metastasis were 92.1%, 83.9%, 87.9% and 0.929, respectively. The Homser-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the Logistic model has a good fitting effect. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC of FNA-Tg in the diagnosis of lateral lymph node metastasis were 87.4%, 95.4%, 90.3% and 0.968, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC of the combined diagnosis of the predictive model and FNA-Tg were 92.9%, 96.9%, 94.2% and 0.989, respectively. Conclusions:The model has a good predictive value for PTC cervical lymph node metastasis. Combined with FNA-Tg, it can improve its diagnostic efficiency and provide more valuable information for the decision-making of clinical surgical procedures.

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between ultrasound features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and lymph node metastasis by preoperative ultrasound elemental observation of thyroid nodules. Methods: Three hundred and seventy-six patients who underwent primary thyroid surgery and confirmed by ultrasound and pathological data as single-focal PTC from Jannary to December 2017 in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang Univbersity College of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. According to the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis, they were divided into central and lateral lymph node metastasis group and non-metastasis group. Independent risk factors for central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) and lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) were analyzed by χ² test and multivariate Logistic regression. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that the posterior margin of the cancer was <0.25 cm from the posterior wall of the thyroid gland as an independent risk factor for CLNM (P=0.025). Compared with the tumor volume ≤0.38 cm³, the cancer volume >0.38 cm³ (P=0.000), was more prone to CLNM. And multivariate analysis showed that the anterior margin of the cancer was <0.17 cm (P=0.006) from the anterior thyroid capsule and the inner wall of the foci was <0.26 cm (P=0.014) as independent risk factors for LLNM. Compared with the maximum diameter of the tumor lesion ≤1 cm, the maximum diameter >2 cm (P=0.001) group was more prone to LLNM. Compared with the tumor volume ≤0.38 cm³, the tumor volume >0.38 cm³ (P=0.000) was more prone to LLNM. Conclusions The larger volume of single focal PTC carcinoma and the closer to the posterior thyroid capsule are independent risk factors for CLNM. The larger volume and diameter of single focal PTC, and the closer to the anterior and medial wall capsule are independent risk factors for LLNM.

Objective To investigate the safety and short-term outcomes of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection with pelvic peritoneum closure (LARP-PPC) for low rectal cancer.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 132 patients with low rectal cancer who were admitted to Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine from January 2014 to December 2017 were collected.There were 81 males and 51 females,aged from 45 to 83 years,with an average age of 62 years.Among the 132 patients,60 undergoing LARP-PPC were allocated into LARP-PPC group,and 72 patients undergoing conventional LARP were allocated into LARP group.All the patients received standardized preoperative and postoperative treatments.Observation indicators:(1) surgical and postoperative conditions;(2) postoperative pathological examination;(3) postoperative complications.The measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean±SD,and the t test was used for comparison between groups.The measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M (range),and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups.The count data were expressed as absolute numbers,and the chi-square test or the Fisher exact probability was used for comparison between groups.Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of ordinal data between groups.Results (1) Surgery and postoperative conditions:all the patients in the two groups underwent successful surgery without conversion to open surgery.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time to first flatus,and time to first liquid intake of the LARP-PPC group were (163±45) minutes,168 mL(range,85-280 mL),2 days(range,1-5 days),3 days(range,2-6 days),versus (155±39) minutes,160 mL(range,100-305 mL),3 days(range,1-7 days),4 days(range,2-7 days) of the LARP group;there was no differencebetween the two group (t =1.113,Z =-1.623,-1.468,-0.321,P＞0.05).The duration of postoperative hospital stay in the LARP-PPC group and the LARP group were 16 days (range,11-21 days) and 19 days (14-24 days),respectively,with a significant difference between the two groups (Z =-5.888,P＜0.05)].In the LARP-PPC group,time of PPC was (13± 3) minutes.(2) Postoperative pathological examination:the length of specimen,the number of lymph node dissection,tumor diameter,cases with high-,middle-,and low-differentiated tumor in the LARP-PPC group was (18±4)cm,16±t5,(3.7±1.4)cm,10,34,16 in the LARP-PPC group,and (18±4)cm,16±5,(3.9±1.5) cm,13,41,18 in the LARP group,showing no significant difference between the two groups (t =0.779,0.390,0.703,Z=-0.267,P＞0.05).(3) Postoperative complications:cases with perineal wound infection,delayed perineal wound healing,intestinal obstruction,and perineal hernia were 2,1,1,0 in the LARP-PPC group,and 12,10,8,6 in the LARP group,showing significant differences between the two groups (x2 =6.137,6.400,P＜0.05).There were 2 and 4 patients with urinary tract infection in the LARP-PPC group and the LARP group,respectively,showing no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion LARP-PPC is safe and feasible for the treatment of low rectal cancer,which can significantly reduce postoperative perineal-related complications and consequently shorten postoperative hospital stay.
