Objective To explore the clinical effect of quality control circle(QCC)activities on the prevention of postoperative deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in inpatients in military hospitals.Methods A total of 318 patients who were diagnosed and treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January to December 2021 and 40 medical staff were enrolled in this study.Routine care was performed in 158 patients from January to June 2021,and QCC care was implemented in 160 patients from July to December 2021.The awareness of DVT prevention in medical staff and patients(or their famiy members)before and after QCC activities,lower limb DVT preventive measures taken by medical staff,and the occurrence of DVT were compared.Results The scores of the cause,clinical manifestations,nursing measures and preventive measures of DVT after QCC activities were significantly higher than those before QCC activities in both medical staff and patients(or their families)(P<0.05).The overall implementation rate of preventing lower limb DVT after QCC activities was significantly higher than that before QCC activities(94.14%vs.46.20%,P<0.05).The incidence of DVT after QCC activities was significantly lower than that before QCC activities(0.62%vs.5.06%,P<0.05).Conclusion Implementing QCC activities can improve the cognitive ability of military medical staff and patients(or family members)in DVT prevention,increase the implementation rate of DVT prevention measures,and reduce the incidence of DVT.

ObjectiveThree methods were applied to conduct occupational health risk assessment for the working positions exposed to silicon dusts in a sanitary ceramic manufacturing factory， and the evaluation results were compared to explore the applicability of different occupational health risk assessment methods. MethodsOne large sanitary ceramic product manufacturing enterprise in Songjiang District， Shanghai was selected to conduct occupational health risk assessment for the working positions exposed to silicon dusts， using occupational hazard risk index evaluation method， exposure ratio evaluation method， and International Council on Mining and Metals （ICMM） quantitative occupational health risk assessment method . The consistency of the evaluation results of the three methods was tested using weighted Kappa method. ResultsFourteen working positions exposed to silicon dusts were identified， and three positions had excessive dust concentration： composite forming position of phase 2 workshop （0.80 mg·m^-3）， addition forming position of phase 2 workshop （1.00 mg·m^-3）， and glazing position of 1F in phase 2 workshop （1.50 mg·m^-3）， with an excessive rate of 21.42%. The occupational hazard risk index evaluation method assessed 6 positions with no harm， 6 positions with mild harm， and 2 positions with moderate harm. The ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method assessed 6 positions with potential risks， 2 positions with tolerable risks， and 6 positions with intolerable risks. The exposure ratio evaluation method assessed 8 positions with medium risk， 5 positions with high risk， and 1 position with extremely high risk. The consistency test results of the three evaluation methods were poor. The Kappa coefficient between the occupational hazard risk index evaluation method and the ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method was 0.15. The Kappa coefficient between the occupational hazard risk index evaluation method and the exposure ratio evaluation method was -0.09. The Kappa coefficient between the ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method and the exposure ratio evaluation method was 0.04. The RR values obtained by the three evaluation methods were significantly correlated： the correlation coefficients between RR_{ICMM quantitative assessment method} and RR_{exposure ratio evaluation method}， RR_{Occupational hazard risk index evaluation method} and RR_{ICMM quantitative assessment method}， RR_{Occupational hazard risk index evaluation method} and RR_{exposure ratio evaluation method} were 0.915， 0.604， and 0.594， respectively. The correlation between the assessment result level and C_TWA was strong. ConclusionThe occupational hazard risk index evaluation method is suitable for the working positions with low silicon dust exposure concentration， the ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method and the exposure ratio evaluation method are suitable for the positions with high silicon dust exposure concentration， but all these three evaluation methods have limitations. It is more reasonable to use multiple methods at the same time in actual evaluation work.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)in decidua tissue of patients with unexplained spontaneous abortion and their correlation.Methods:The expres-sions of TLR4,ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 in decidua tissues of 32 patients with unexplained spontaneous abortion(abortion group)and 32 normal pregnancy(control group)were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot,respectively.The correlation between TLR4 and p-ERK1/2 in abortion group were analyzed by Pearson hierarchical correlation analysis.Results:In immunohistochemical experiments,the cytoplasm of decidua cells in the two groups is the expression locus of TLR4,ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2,the expression of the three proteins were different,and the expressions of TLR4 and p-ERK1/2 in abortion group were significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in ERK1/2 expression between abortion group and control group(P>0.05);In decidua tissue samples of abortion group,the protein level of TLR4 was higher than that of control group(P<0.05);the pro-tein level of p-ERK1/2 was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.01),and the protein level of ERK1/2 in decidua tissue of abortion group was not statistically different from that of control group(P>0.05).TLR4 was positively correlated with p-ERK1/2 expression in abortion group(r=0.890,P<0.01).Conclusion:Abnormal activation of TLR4/ERK1/2 signaling pathway may be one of the mechanisms of unexplained spontaneous abortion.
