Objective To develop a questionnaire for measuring the legal legitimacy of occupational health managers among enterprises, and to evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods Based on the theory of subjective procedural justice, an item pool for the Questionnaire on the Legal Legitimacy of Enterprise Occupational Health Managers was constructed through literature review and policy screening, database collation, and expert interviews. The Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultation with 37 experts, and the questionnaire item pool was adjusted and refined based on the experts' opinions to determine the final version of the questionnaire. A total of 317 occupational health managers were selected using a random number table method to complete the questionnaire survey. The data were then used to evaluate its reliability and validity. Results The questionnaire response rates for the two rounds of expert consultation were 94.6% and 100.0%, respectively. The expert authority coefficient was 0.82, and Kendall's W coefficients of concordance were 0.16 and 0.23, respectively (both P<0.001). The final version of Questionnaire on the Legal Legitimacy of Enterprise Occupational Health Managers consists of four dimensions (legal statement, law enforcement, social environment, and obligation to comply with the law) with a total of 21 items. The Cronbach's α coefficients for the overall questionnaire and its four dimensions were 0.96, 0.97, 0.98, 0.70, and 0.91, respectively (all >0.70). The corrected item-total correlation for each item was >0.50. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that all fit indices met good fit standards: 􀱽 ²/df ratio = 2.85, goodness-of-fit index = 0.917, adjusted goodness-of-fit index = 0.905, comparative fit index = 0.933, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.909, root mean square error of approximation = 0.056, and standardized root mean square residual = 0.059. The composite reliabilities for the four dimensions were 0.97, 0.98, 0.63, and 0.89, respectively. The average variance extracted values were 0.73, 0.91, 0.45, and 0.73, respectively. Conclusion The newly developed Questionnaire on the Legal Legitimacy of Enterprise Occupational Health Managers demonstrates good reliability and validity, with strong scientific rigor and robustness. It can be used as a measurement tool for assessing the legal legitimacy of occupational disease prevention and control laws and regulations among enterprise occupational health managers.

Objective To construct a management program for upper limb lymphedema prevention in postopera-tive breast cancer patients and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods The first draft of the upper limb lymphede-ma prevention and management protocol for postoperative breast cancer patients was constructed on the basis of ev-idence summaries and qualitative interviews,and 2 rounds of correspondence were conducted in December 2022.Using the convenience sampling method,patients undergoing surgery for malignant tumours in the breast surgery de-partment of a tertiary-level hospital in Zhengzhou City were selected as the study subjects,and 58 patients admitted from January to March 2023 were included in the experimental group according to the time of their first visit.57 patients admitted from July to December 2022 were included in the control group and were given routine care.The rates of lymphedema occurrence,upper limb function score and patients'adherence to lymphedema prevention be-haviours after 1,3,and 6 months of intervention were compared between the 2 groups.Results The valid ques-tionnaire recovery rates of the 2 rounds of expert correspondence were 92.59％and 100％,and the authority coeffi-cients of the experts were 0.940 and 0.950,and the Kendall's harmony coefficients were 0.228 and 0.254,respec-tively(P＜0.00 1).The coefficients of variation of the 2nd round of correspondence were 0.07～0.24.The final draft of the programme included 5 first-level entries,12 second-level entries,and 32 third-level entries.During the appli-cation of the programme,a total of 5 cases were dislodged,and 55 cases were finally included in each of the ex-perimental and control groups.The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed that there was an interaction ef-feet between the upper limb function scores and lymphedema prevention behavior compliance scores before inter-vention and at 1,3,and 6 months after discharge between the 2 groups(P＜0.05).Simple effects analysis showed that at 1,3,and 6 months after discharge,the upper limb function score and lymphedema prevention behavior com-pliance score of the experimental group were better than those of the control group,and the differences were sta-tistically significant(P＜0.05).At 6 months post-intervention,the difference in the occurrence of lymphedema was statistically significant when comparing the 2 groups(P=0.032).Adverse events such as subcutaneous bruising and falls did not occur in either group.Conclusion The upper limb lymphoedema prevention and management pro-gramme for postoperative breast cancer patients constructed in this study is scientific,feasible and safe,and can ef-fectively reduce the incidence of lymphoedema in patients and improve their quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the improvement effect of Prostatitis capsule on chronic non-bacterial prostatitis(CNP) model rats. METHODS:60 rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (distilled water),model group (distilled wa-ter),Pule'an tablet group(positive control,2 g/kg)and Prostatitis capsule high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups(16,8,4 g/kg). Except for sham operation group,other 5 groups were injected Xiaozhiling injection 0.2 mL to reduce CNP model. After 7 d of modeling,they received related medicines,ig,once a day,for 45 d. After 24 h of last administration,prostate lesions were ob-served by eyes and wet quality was weighed. White blood cell(WBC)count and lecithin body(SPL)count were conducted under microscope,and prostate tissue slices were pathologically observed. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,prostate showed gray nodules,adhesion in glands and surrounding tissue;wet quality of prostate and WBC,SPL count in prostate tissue were significantly increased(P<0.01);under microscope,there were significant congestion,edema and a variety of inflammatory cell infiltration in prostate interstitial. Compared with model group,gray nodules in prostate in Pule'an tablet group and Prostatitis capsule group were reduced,as well as adhesion degree in prostate and surrounding tissue;wet quality of prostate and WBC,SPL count in prostate tissue were significantly decreased(P<0.01);pathological changes had improved to varying degrees under micro-scope,especially the changes in Prostatitis capsule high-dose group,and prostate tissue only showed mild congestion,edema and little inflammatory cell infiltration. CONCLUSIONS:Prostatitis capsule has a certain improvement effect on CNP model rats.

AIM: To study the protective effect of puerarin on the atherosclerosis of RAW264.7-derived foam cells.METHODS: The model of foam cells was established by incubating the RAW264.7 cells with ox-LDL.The choles-terol uptake was evaluated by a DiI-ox-LDL binding assay.The ability of cholesterol efflux of the RAW264.7-derived foam cells was detected by cholesterol efflux assay.The protein levels of LC3II, P62, CD36, ABCA1, LAL and p-AMPK were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Puerarin treatment reduced the cholesterol uptake capacity and enhanced the cho-lesterol efflux rate.The protein levels of LC3II, ABCA1 and LAL in puerarin group were higher than that in ox-LDL group, while the protein levels of P62 and CD36 were obviously decreased, and those in rapamycin treatment group had the same change as puerarin group.The protein levels of LC3II, ABCA1 and LAL were obviously decreased and the protein level of p-AMPK was increased after co-treated with 3-MA.CONCLUSION: Puerarin promotes LAL and ABCA1-mediated cho-lesterol efflux in ox-LDL-treated RAW264.7 macrophages, which might enhance autophagy through AMPK-dependent path-way for cholesterol efflux regulation, and reduce the uptake of lipids by CD36 negative regulation.

Objective To know the influence of passive smoking on children's immune function. Methods The smoking state of children's family members and the illness-induced absence state of 135 children aged 10-11 years were investigated with questionnaire, and the concentrations of immunoglobin E (IgE) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) in serum of children were examined. Results The concentrations of IgE in serum of the children exposed to passive smoking(n=30) were significantly higher than those of the control group(n=20), while the concentrations of IL-8 were significantly lower(both P
