BACKGROUND: Circadian syndrome (CircS) may be closely linked to lifestyle, psychological, and occupational factors, but evidence is lacking. This study aimed to explore complex associations between lifestyle, psychological and occupational factors and CircS among employed people in southwestern China. METHODS: In this study, network analysis was used to identify complex associations between lifestyle, psychological and occupational factors and CircS in employed people from the Chinese Cohort of Working Adults (CCWA). The centrality of each variable was estimated by strength centrality index, which was calculated by the sum of edge weights connected to the variable. Bridge in the network was identified as the variables in the top 80 th percentile of overall bridge strength, which was defined as the most strongly connected variables across lifestyle, psychological and occupational factors and CircS. The differences were assessed in network structures between subgroups divided by the median score of the variable with the strongest bridge strengthen. RESULTS: Among 31,105 participants from CCWA, 5213 (16.76%) had CircS. In the constructed network, anxiety (edge weights: 0.28), smoking (edge weights: 0.15), drinking (edge weights: 0.10), perceived noise at work (edge weights: 0.08), and implicit health attitude (edge weights: -0.02) were directly related to CircS, with 83.31% of the variance for CircS explained by these neighboring factors. Anxiety was the most central variable (strength centrality: 1.20) in the network and the strongest bridge (bridge strength: 0.84) connecting all domains of variables. A stronger association between anxiety and CircS was observed in the network of participants with more severe anxiety (edge weight: 0.23) than those with less severe anxiety (edge weight: 0.03). CONCLUSION Anxiety had the strongest association with CircS and was the central factor with the highest strength centrality, also the bridge with the highest bridge strength in the network.

Objective:To explore the association between occupational noise perception and cardiovascular disease (CVD), depression symptoms, as well as their comorbidity in occupational population and provide evidence for the prevention and control of physical and mental illnesses.Methods:A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, based on baseline data in population in 28 prefectures in Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province, and 33 districts (counties) in Chongqing municipality from Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. during October to December 2021. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information about noise perception, depressive symptoms, and the history of CVD. Latent profile analysis model was used to determine identify noise perception type, and multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between different occupational noise perception types and CVD, depression symptoms and their comorbidity.Results:A total of 30 509 participants were included, the mean age was (36.6±10.5) years, and men accounted for 82.0%. The direct perception of occupational noise, psychological effects and hearing/sleep impact of occupational noise increased the risk for CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity. By using latent profile analysis, occupational noise perception was classified into four levels: low, medium, high, and very high. As the level of noise perception increased, the association with CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity increased. In fact, very high level occupational noise perception were found to increase the risk for CVD, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity by 2.14 (95% CI: 1.73-2.65) times, 8.80 (95% CI: 7.91-9.78) times, and 17.02 (95% CI: 12.78-22.66) times respectively compared with low-level occupational noise perception. Conclusions:Different types of occupational noise perception are associated with CVD and depression symptom, especially in the form of CVD complicated with depression symptom. Furthermore, the intensity of occupational noise in the work environment should be reduced to lower the risk for physical and mental health.

Objective:To understand the influence of unhealthy lifestyle on diabetic dyslipidemia and the key influencing factors in occupational population and provided scientific evidence for the prevention of diabetic dyslipidemia.Methods:Based on baseline data and follow-up data of Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. during 2021. Diabetic dyslipidemia was defined as diabetes plus one or more forms of dyslipidemia, and unhealthy lifestyle factors included smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy dietary patterns, low physical activity, and abnormal BMI. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle scores and diabetic dyslipidemia, network analysis was used to find and explore the key lifestyles influencing glycolipid metabolism.Results:A total of 25 631 subjects were included. People with unhealthy lifestyle score 2 and 3 were 1.93 (95% CI: 1.31-2.86) times and 2.37 (95% CI: 1.60-3.50) times more likely to have diabetes with ≥1 forms of dyslipidemia than those with scores of 0; People with unhealthy lifestyle score 1, 2 and 3 were 1.98 (95% CI: 1.08-3.61) times, 2.87 (95% CI: 1.60-5.14) times and 3.95 (95% CI: 2.22-7.06) times more likely to have diabetes with ≥2 forms of dyslipidemia than those with score 0. Network analysis found that abnormal BMI and HDL-C were the "bridge nodes" that link unhealthy lifestyles with diabetic dyslipidemia. Conclusion:The higher the score of unhealthy lifestyle, the higher the risk for diabetic dyslipidemia, abnormal BMI and HDL-C are key factors influencing the association between unhealthy lifestyle and diabetic dyslipidemia.

Objective:To investigate the association between alcohol consumption and hypertension and SBP, DBP and the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and lipid level in occupational population, and provide reference for the intervention and prevention of hypertension.Methods:Based on the data of Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd., the information about the demographic characteristics, behavior and lifestyle, blood pressure and lipids level of the participants were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination and blood biochemical test. Logistic/linear regression was used to analyze the association between alcohol consumption and hypertension, SBP and DBP. The individual and joint mediating effects of BMI, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, and TC were explored through causal mediating analysis. A network analysis was used to explore the correlation between alcohol consumption, BMI and lipid levels, and hypertension.Results:A total of 22 887 participants were included, in whom 1 825 had newly detected hypertension. Logistic regression analysis found that current/former drinkers had a 33% increase of risk for hypertension compared with never-drinkers ( OR=1.33, 95% CI:1.19-1.48). Similarly, alcohol consumption could increase SBP ( β=1.05, 95% CI:0.69-1.40) and DBP ( β=1.10, 95% CI:0.83-1.38). Overall, BMI and lipid levels could mediate the associations between alcohol consumption and hypertension, SBP and DBP by 21.91%, 28.40% and 22.64%, respectively. BMI and TG were the main mediators, and they were also the two nodes with the highest edge weight and bridge strength centrality in the network of alcohol consumption, BMI, lipid levels and hypertension. Conclusions:Alcohol consumption was associated with increased risk for hypertension, and BMI and TG were important mediators and key nodes in the network. It is suggested that paying attention to the alcohol consumption, BMI and TG might help prevent hypertension in occupational population.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics of neonatal plesiomonas shigelloides (P. shigelloides) septicemia.Methods:The clinical data of a neonate with P.shigelloides septicemia admitted to the Department of Neonatology of our hospital were reviewed. Literature on this subject were searched in the following databases: CNKI, CQVIP database, Wanfang Database, SinoMed, PubMed and Web of Science (up to April 2022).The clinical characteristics of reported cases of neonatal P.shigelloides septicemia were analyzed.Results:Our patient was a full-term female neonate with symptoms of tachypnea, groaning, hypotension, septic shock and poor intestinal peristalsis. The cardiac and pulmonary ultrasound indicated pulmonary hypertension and right pleural effusion (empyema). The X-ray suggested pneumothorax. The blood culture showed P.shigelloides. Lumbar puncture and brain imaging showed no central nervous system involvement. After meropenem, penicillin and symptomatic treatment, the patient was cured and discharged without sequelae. In the literature review, 14 articles and 14 cases of neonatal P.shigelloides septicemia were found (a total of 15 cases including our case).All 15 cases had fever, 10 with convulsion/seizure, 8 had jaundice, 8 with respiratory distress/respiratory failure, 6 had feeding difficulty and 6 were irritable. Brain imaging features were hydrocephalus and panencephalitis. Antibiotics and symptomatic treatment were the main therapy. 8 cases died and 7 cases survived including 2 cases with neurological sequelae.Conclusions:Neonatal P.shigelloides septicemia has nonspecific manifestations, often involves multiple organs with significant neurological involvement and a high mortality rate.

Objective:To analyze the treatment effect and drug resistance mutation of HIV-1 infected patients who changed to the second-line antiretroviral treatment regimen after they had developed drug-resistance with first-line antiretroviral treatment regimen in some areas of Sichuan Province.Methods:Using the cohort study method, the patients who had developed drug resistance with the first-line regimen were followed up for two years from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021.The changes of CD4 +T lymphocytes (CD4) counts and viral load (VL) at the endline and the detection of drug-resistant mutation sites were analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of antiretroviral treatment effect in patients who had good compliance after switching to the second-line regimen. Results:A total of 737 patients were recruited. Among the cases with continuous good compliance, those who timely changed to the second-line regimen had higher proportion of maintaining continuous CD4 >200 cells/μl and sustained virus inhibition ( P<0.05). Among the patients with different levels of drug resistance at baseline, there was no significant difference in continuous CD4 >200 cells/μl and sustained VL <200 copies/ml ( P>0.05). After changing to the second-line regimen, the drug-resistant mutation sites of some protease inhibitors showed an upward trend, while those of the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors showed a downward trend ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, among patients who had good compliance and who had switched to the second-line regimen, mother-to-child-transmitted patients had 3.01 times higher risk than heterosexual sexually transmitted infection (95% CI:1.29-7.00), failure to change the second-line protocol in time brought 2.55 times higher risk than that of timely changing to the second-line regimen (95% CI:1.41-4.62) and patients who infected with CRF85_BC subtype had 3.32 times higher risk than those infected with CRF01_AE subtype (95% CI:1.49-7.42). Conclusions:Difference in the drug resistance levels with the first-line regimen does not affect patients' antiretroviral treatment effect after changing to the second-line regimen in Sichuan Province. Changing to the second-line regimen in time and maintaining good compliance are beneficial to higher immune levels and lower VLs in drug-resistant patients. Among patients who changed to the second-line regimen, mother-to-child transmission, failure to change the second-line program in time, and infection with CRF85_BC virus are risk factors endangering antiretroviral treatment success after changing to the second-line regimen.

Postzygotic mutations are acquired in normal tissues throughout an individual's lifetime and hold clues for identifying mutagenic factors.Here,we investigated postzygotic mutation spectra of healthy individuals using optimized ultra-deep exome sequencing of the time-series samples from the same volunteer as well as the samples from different individuals.In blood,sperm,and muscle cells,we resolved three common types of mutational signatures.Signatures A and B represent clock-like mutational processes,and the polymorphisms of epigenetic regulation genes influence the pro-portion of signature B in mutation profiles.Notably,signature C,characterized by C＞T transitions at GpCpN sites,tends to be a feature of diverse normal tissues.Mutations of this type are likely to occur early during embryonic development,supported by their relatively high allelic frequencies,presence in multiple tissues,and decrease in occurrence with age.Almost none of the public datasets for tumors feature this signature,except for 19.6％of samples of clear cell renal cell carcinoma with increased activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1(HIF-1)signaling pathway.Moreover,the accumulation of signature C in the mutation profile was accelerated in a human embryonic stem cell line with drug-induced activation of HIF-1α.Thus,embryonic hypoxia may explain this novel signature across multiple normal tissues.Our study suggests that hypoxic condition in an early stage of embryonic development is a crucial factor inducing C＞T transitions at GpCpN sites;and indi-viduals'genetic background may also influence their postzygotic mutation profiles.

Objective:To investigate the influences of minimally invasive hematoma removal assisted by stereotaxis technique and conservative treatment in clinical prognoses of patients with small/medium intracerebral hematoma in the basal ganglia.Methods:Sixty-four patients with spontaneous basal ganglia cerebral hemorrhage, admitted to our hospital from March 2020 to March 2021, were enrolled in our study; these patients were randomly divided into surgical group (accepted minimally invasive hematoma removal assisted by stereotaxis technique, n=33) and conservative treatment group ( n=31). The baseline general data and 6 months follow-up data of patients from the 2 groups were compared. The Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) scores, modified Barthel index (MBI), modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores and complications were compared 7 d, 1 month and 6 months after surgery. Results:There were no significant differences in gender, age, and amount of bleeding between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). On the 7 th d of surgery, there were no significant differences in GOS scores, MBI, and mRS scores between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). One month after surgery, there were statistically significant differences in GOS scores, MBI, and mRS scores between the 2 groups ( P<0.05); the good prognosis rate in the surgical group was 78.79% (26/33), and that in the conservative treatment group was 25.81%(8/31), with significant difference ( P<0.05). Six months after surgery, there were significant differences in GOS scores, MBI, and mRS scores between the 2 groups ( P<0.05); the good prognosis rate in the surgical group was 95.7% (29/33), and that in the conservative treatment group was 32.3% (10/31), with significant difference ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the surgical group and conservative treatment group was 6.06% and 29.03%, respectively, with significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive hematoma removal assisted by stereotaxis technique is more conducive to the repair of nerve function in patients with moderate to small cerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia than conservative treatment.
