Objective:
To investigate the occupational health status of medical radiation workers in Hangzhou City, so as to provide the basis for their occupational health risk assessment.
Methods:
Data on medical radiological workers who underwent occupational health examinations from 2021 to 2022 were collected through the Physical Examination Information Management System of the Hangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital. The physical examination data including blood routine, eye lens, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid function, liver function, renal function and blood lipid were collected, and the abnormal rates of occupational health examinations among workers with different genders, working years and occupational exposure types were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 3 968 medical radiation workers were investigated, including 2 310 males (58.22%) and 1 658 females (41.78%). There were 2 039 (51.39%), 821 (20.69%) and 1 108 (27.92%) workers with 1-<6, 6-<10 years and 10 years and above of work, respectively. Diagnostic radiology was the predomenant type of exposure, with 2 240 workers accounting for 56.45%. The abnormal rates of thyroid ultrasound and blood lipid were 47.73% and 45.21%, respectively, which were relatively higher than other items. The abnormal rates of micronucleus rate, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid function and renal function were higher in females than in males, while the abnormal rates of lymphocyte count, liver function and blood lipid in males were higher in males than in females (all P<0.05). With the increase of working years, the abnormal rates of micronucleus rate and blood lipid showed upward trends (both P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the abnormal rates of thyroid ultrasound, liver function and blood lipid among different occupational exposure types (all P<0.05).
Conclusion
Long-term low-dose ionizing radiation environment affects the thyroid, micronucleus rate and blood lipid of medical radiation workers in Hangzhou City, with differences observed among workers with different genders and occupational exposure types.

Objective:To conduct a scope review on the application of ICU diaries in critically ill patients, laying the foundation for further exploration and construction of ICU diary patterns and frameworks that were in line with the national conditions and tailored to different regions and cultural backgrounds.Methods:The Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer′s Manual was used as the methodological framework, and a computer search was conducted in nine domestic and international databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase, etc. The search period was from the inception of the databases until March 13, 2023. The included literature was screened, summarized, and analyzed.Results:A total of 19 articles were included. ICU diaries were commonly recorded using a combination of text and visuals, with the involvement of both healthcare professionals and family members. Most patients received ICU diaries approximately one month after their transfer from the ICU. Out of the 15 studies, ICU diaries were found to be effective, while 4 studies indicated no significant improvement in patients′ psychological issues. However, ICU diaries were still considered acceptable by patients and their families.Conclusions:The application of ICU diaries has shown positive significance in critically ill patients, but further research and exploration are needed to investigate its impact on issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. In the future, a combination of multiple forms and high-quality research designs with large samples, long periods, and structured approaches should be employed to explore its application effects and long-term outcomes on psychological problems.

BACKGROUND:A large number of studies have confirmed that tissue engineering scaffolds can almost completely repair osteochondral defects.However,when osteochondral defects are complicated with infection,even after thorough debridement in the early stage,the repair effect of simple osteochondral tissue engineering scaffolds is often unsatisfactory. OBJECTIVE:To prepare fibroin/chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite scaffold loaded with vancomycin hydrochloride sustained release microspheres,and to investigate the repair effect on infected osteochondral defect in distal femur of rabbit. METHODS:(1)Vancomycin hydrochloride sustained release microspheres were prepared by emulsified solvent evaporation method.The sustained-release microspheres of different weights(7.5,10,and 12.5 mg)were mixed with fibroin protein-chitosan nanohydroxyapatite solution,and the scaffolds of fibroin protein/chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite were prepared by chemical crosslinking method.The porosity,water absorption and expansion rate,hot water loss rate of the scaffolds,and drug sustained-release in vitro were characterized.(2)Forty-five New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into blank group,control group,and experimental group,with 15 rabbits in each group.The osteochondral defect and infection model of the distal femur of the right hind limb was established in both groups.The blank group was not treated,and the control group was implanted with fibroin protein-chitosan-nano-hydroxyapatite scaffold.Vancomycin hydrochloride sustained-release microspheres(10 mg)of fibroin/chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite scaffold were implanted in the defect of the experimental group.The levels of C-reactive protein and leukocytes in blood samples were detected 1 week after operation.At 4,8 and 12 weeks after operation,the tissue of the operative area was taken for gross observation and pathological observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of sustained-release microspheres content,the porosity of scaffolds decreased,and there was significant difference among groups(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the pore size,water absorption expansion rate and hot water loss rate among the three groups(P>0.05).Vancomycin hydrochloride was released sustainably in vitro for more than 30 days in all three groups of scaffolds.(2)The levels of C-reactive protein and leukocytes in blood samples of the experimental group were lower than those of the blank group and control group(P<0.05).The repair of gross cartilage in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the blank group and the control group.Hematoxylin-eosin,Masson,Alcian blue and type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemical stainings showed that the osteochondral repair effect of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the blank group and the control group at each time point.(3)The results showed that fibroin/chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite scaffolds loaded with vancomycin hydrochloride sustained-release microspheres could effectively promote the repair of open osteochondral defects.

【Objective】 To explore the value of thromboelastogram (TEG) in evaluating coagulation function of patients with liver cancer. 【Methods】 102 patients with liver cancer and 48 with hepatic hemangioma from Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Nanyang Central Hospital from August 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. TEG indicators (R, K, Angle, MA, CI, and G value) and routine coagulation indicators (Plt, PT, INR, APTT, FIB, and TT) of those patients and basic clinical data of liver cancer patients were collected, and the difference of detection parameters between the liver cancer group and liver hemangioma group was compared; The difference of TEG parameters in liver cancer patient subgroups was compared, and the correlation between TEG and routine coagulation tests in liver cancer patients was analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis. The sensitivity of the two detection methods in detecting the coagulation status of patients with liver cancer was compared. 【Results】 1) Compared with patients with hepatic hemangioma, Plts decreased significantly (166.6±108.824 vs 224.10±54.933, P<0.001), while PT, INR and APTT values increased significantly (13.12±2.052 vs 11.421±0.884, 1.156±0.191 vs 1.00±0.074, 29.977±5.333 vs 26.954±5.269, all P<0.05) in patients with liver cancer; MA and G values in patients with liver cancer were lower (56.991±11.574 vs 60.069±5.094, 7.667±4.682 vs 7.725±1.709, P<0.05); 2) Compared with newly diagnosed liver cancer patients, the Plt of re-diagnosed liver cancer patients decreased significantly(125.78±79.673 vs 188.86±116.437, P<0.05); the R and K value increased significantly (7.594±2.601 vs 6.058±1.739, 3.453±2.402 vs 2.438±1.990, all P<0.05), while the Angle, MA, CI and G value decreased significantly (53.897±12.288 vs 61.495±9.949, 53.556±11.407 vs 58.865±11.313, -3.494±4.253vs -0.836±3.180, 6.311±3.209 vs 8.406±5.191, all P<0.05); 3) There were significant differences in TEG parameters (R value excluded) between liver resection, transhepatic arterial chemoembolization and conservative treatment (P<0.05); 4) The R, K value of patients with liver cancer were negatively correlated with the Plt value, while the Angle, MA, CI, and G value were positively correlated with Plt value (P<0.001); the K value was negatively correlated with the Fib value, while the Angle, MA, CI, G value were positively correlated with Fib value (P<0.001); the R and K value were positively correlated with TT value, while the Angle and CI were negatively correlated with TT value (P<0.05); 5) The detection rate of hypocoagulability by TEG and routine coagulation testing was 18.63% (19/102) and 7.84%. 【Conclusion】 Compared with the newly diagnosed liver cancer patients, re-diagnosed liver cancer patients showed hypercoagulability. TEG can diagnose the coagulation abnormalties more sensitively, and help reduce the risk of bleeding.

Objective:To analyze the brain function of patients with delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), further analyze the structural changes in the brain using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and explore the correlations of brain function with structural changes in patients with delirium in ICU from a new perspective of functional imaging, provide visual evidence for the diagnosis of delirium.Methods:Patients with delirium admitted to ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 1st to December 31st in 2017 were enrolled as subjects. During the same period, the healthy volunteers who matched the gender, age and education level of the patients with delirium were enrolled as control group. The intensive care delirium screening checklist (ICDSC) scores within 24 hours after ICU admission were recorded. All the subjects were scanned by fMRI and DTI. The abnormal changes in resting-state brain function of the patients with delirium were evaluated by cerebral regional homogeneity (ReHo) data analysis. The DTI data were processed by the FSL software, and the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of the brain were extracted, respectively, to evaluate the damage to brain structure. The values of ReHo, FA and MD were compared between the two groups. The ReHo value of brain region with reduced ReHo value of patients with delirium as compared with the healthy volunteers was extracted for Pearson correlation analysis with ICDSC scores.Results:A total of 22 patients with delirium were included. Seven patients who did not cooperate in the examination, used sedatives or had false images in scanning, were excluded. Finally, 15 patients were enrolled in the delirium group, and 15 healthy volunteers in the healthy control group. ① No statistically significant difference was found in gender, age or education time between the two groups. ICDSC score of the delirium group was significantly higher than that of the healthy control group (6.07±1.28 vs. 1.07±0.88, P < 0.01). ② fMRI scanning and analysis results: compared with the healthy control group, the ReHo values of the cerebellum, right hippocampus, striatum, midbrain and pons in the delirium group were significantly increased (all P < 0.05, AlphaSim correction), while the ReHo values of bilateral superior frontal gyrus, bilateral median frontal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus, temporal lobe and parietal lobe were significantly lowered (all P < 0.05, AlphaSim correction). Correlation analysis showed that the ReHo value of the left superior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with ICDSC score in the patients with delirium ( r = -0.794, P < 0.05), indicating that the changes in the functional area of the medial frontal gyrus was most closely related to delirium. ③ DTI scanning and analysis results: compared with the healthy control group, the FA values of the left cerebellum, bilateral frontal lobes, left temporal lobe, corpus callosum and left hippocampus in the delirium group were decreased significantly (all P < 0.05, AlphaSim correction), while the MD values of the medial frontal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, anterior cingulate gyrus, bilateral insular lobes and left caudate nucleus were enhanced significantly (all P < 0.05, AlphaSim correction), suggesting that the structural and functional damage was found in multiple brain regions in patients with delirium. Conclusions:Multiple brain regions of patients with delirium present abnormal resting-state brain function. The abnormal resting-state brain function of the left superior frontal gyrus is closely related to the occurrence of delirium. Structural damage is found in multiple brain regions of patients with delirium. The structural changes in the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, corpus callosum, hippocampus and cerebellum and their abnormal functions can be used as preliminary imaging indexes for the diagnosis of delirium.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is considered to be a pulmonary manifestation of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), often occurring as a complication of disease, and worsening the prognosis of patients. In recent years, the incidence of trauma has increased year by year. Severe trauma can lead to SIRS, which is one of the common risk factors of ARDS. The spleen is the largest peripheral immune organ of the body, containing a large number of immune cells and secreting inflammatory factors. The inflammatory factors play an important role in the formation of traumatic ARDS. In recent years, the benefits of treating ARDS by inhibiting spleen-induced inflammatory response have gradually been discovered, providing new ideas for the treatment of ARDS. Therefore, the research status of spleen-mediated inflammatory response in traumatic ARDS is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of traumatic ARDS. This article reports the spleen-mediated systemic inflammatory response, the role of inflammatory mediators in the development of ARDS, and the current state of research on ARDS treatment to explore new approaches to the prevention and treatment of traumatic ARDS.

The etiology of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is complicated and difficult to diagnose, unexplained HLH often with hematological malignancies. Invasive biopsy can help to find etiology, the results may be affected by the technique and the location of the puncture site. Multiangle puncture can improve the success rate, but the corresponding risk increases. A patient with HLH was admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College. The etiology was unknown. Active symptomatic support treatment was conducted, at the same time, finding the evidence of viral infection, autoimmune disease related detection, blood culture, bone marrow puncture smear and spleen biopsy were performed respectively to find the pathogen basis. Spleen hemorrhage was not being controlled after spleen biopsy in patients, and emergency splenectomy was adopted to stop bleeding for saving lives. Finally, the patients died of low protein, pulmonary edema and respiratory failure. The bone marrow puncture and spleen biopsy failed to provide the basis for tumor invasion, while the spleen pathological slices plus immunohistochemical indicate diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after splenectomy, which was identified as malignant tumor-associated hemophagocytic syndrome. Underscoring the high risk of bleeding after tumor-associated splenomegaly puncture and the importance of having emergency plans. Through analyzing the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of this patient, we hope to improve the clinicians' understanding of HLH and lymphoma.
