Occupational health is a discipline dedicated to the identification,assessment,prediction,and control of occupational hazards in the workplace and their potential impacts on health.Its core objective is to ensure the safety of workers through targeted preventive strategies and protective mechanisms,thereby minimizing health risks caused by occupational hazards and promoting physical health,mental well-being,and overall social welfare in the workplace.The"three simultaneities"of occupational health protection facilities in construction projects(hereinafter referred to as"three simultaneities")refers to the principle that occupational disease prevention facilities must be designed,constructed,and put into operation simultaneously with the main project.The implementation of"three simultaneities"involves several stages:a preliminary assessment of occupational disease risks,the design of occupational disease protection facilities in accordance with relevant standards,and ensuring these facilities are constructed in parallel with the primary engineering project to maintain integrity and effectiveness.During the construction phase,occupational disease prevention facilities must be constructed simultaneously with the main project to ensure their integrity and effectiveness.Upon project completion,the construction unit is responsible for evaluating the control effects of occupational disease hazards and conducting the acceptance of occupational disease prevention facilities to ensure the occupational health of employees.The implementation of the"three simultaneities"for occupational disease protection facilities in construction projects is a mandatory national regulation,and non-compliance may result in legal penalties such as fines and forced suspension of work.However,for some laboratory animal institutions,the implementation of the"three simultaneities"remains a challenge.This paper aims to provide practical guidance and feasible implementation strategies for such institutions by introducing the development history of the"three simultaneities"in occupational health,explaining its relevance and necessity in the context of laboratory animal facilities,and outlining step-by-step procedures for compliance and implementation.

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important pathophysiological role in osteoarthritis and cartilage metabolism. To determine the relationship between NO and the synthesis of type II collagen in cartilage, we measured levels of type II collagen by ELISA and procollagen (II) mRNA by RT-PCR in cultured lapine chondrocytes that were incubated with some kinds of reagents. 0.2mM sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a NO donor) can release high levels of NO, decreasing type II collagen, suppressing the expression of procollagen (II) mRNA (COL2A1).At the same time, chondrocytes showed a large increase in NO synthesis, a decrease in type II collagen and COL2A1 mRNA in response to 100u/ml IL-1. When 1mg/ml N-nitro-L-arginine methyl easter (NAME, an inhibitor of NO synthase) was mixed with IL-1, NO production was inhibited, the amounts of type II collagen recovered partially and COL2A1 mRNA recovered completely.These data indicate NO can inhibit type II collagen synthesis as IL-1 downstream molecule by suppressing procollagen (II) mRNA.
8.A study on estrogen receptor of rat heart in myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(05):-
The immune-gold-silver stain and image analysis methods were used to check up estrodial receptor (ER) in rat heart at myocardial infarction (MI) conditions.Animals were divided randomly into four groups: one serves as normal control, another as sham-operation, the third was treated as myocardial infarction and the last one estrogen (E_2) was injected after MI. The results showed that all the parts of the heart have ER,but the distributions are not equal in atrium and ventricle, the former is less than that of the latter (0.1687?0.005, 0.2072?0.006, P

The therapeutic effects of a high fibre diet composed of naturally high fibre foodstuffs containing protein, various essential amino acids and trace elements (Zn, Cr etc.) on diabetics were tested both experimentally and clinically. The high fibre diet or steamed bread (for control) with identical carbohydrate content was taken by normal mice, alloxan diabetic mice and nine healthy volunteers. The high fibre diet caused significant reduction in the blood glucose area (carbohydrate tolerance) as compared with the steamed bread. In another study, eighteen non-insulin dependent diabetic patients (10 females, 8 males) were administered the high fibre diet for 34 days, the average fasting and 2 h postprandial blood glucose level were significantly lower than those before the test, but no difference was observed in blood electrolytes. This implied that no malabsorption occurred during the testing period. At the same time, 16 of the 17 overweight patients were found to have a reduction of weights. In addition, improvement of symptoms (poly-dipsia polyuria, constipation etc) both in diabetic animals and in patients was observed. This study indicates that the high fibre diet is benificial for diabetic patients.
