Objective To analyze the elevated blood pressure status and its influencing factors among manufacturing workers in Foshan City. Methods A total of 565 795 manufacturing workers who underwent occupational medical examinations in Foshan City from 2017 to 2023 were included. Data of workers were obtained from the Guangdong Provincial Key Occupational Disease Monitoring and Management Platform. The influencing factors of elevated blood pressure were analyzed using descriptive epidemiological methods. Results A total of 89 526 cases of elevated blood pressure were detected among the 565 795 workers, with a detection rate of 15.82%. From 2017 to 2023, the annual detection rate of elevated blood pressure was 14.11%, 15.00%, 14.69%, 15.94%, 17.00%, 16.90%, and 16.68%, respectively, showing an overall upward trend (P<0.01). The top three industries with the highest detection rates of elevated blood pressure were instrument and meter manufacturing; wood processing and the manufacture of wood, bamboo, rattan, palm, and straw products; as well as agricultural and sideline food processing. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that male workers had a higher risk of elevated blood pressure than female workers (P<0.01). The risk of elevated blood pressure in workers increased with age, years of occupational hazard exposure, and duration of dust exposure (all P<0.05). Workers exposed to noise for more than three years had a higher risk of elevated blood pressure than those without noise exposure (P<0.05). The risk of elevated blood pressure among workers in Nanhai, Shunde, and Gaoming districts was higher than that in Chancheng District (all P<0.01). Workers originating from Northeast and Northwest China had a higher risk of elevated blood pressure than those from North China (all P<0.05). Workers from smaller-scale enterprises had higher risk of elevated blood pressure (all P<0.01). Conclusion Targeted blood pressure health interventions in Foshan City should be strengthened for male manufacturing workers who are older, have longer working years, and originate from Northeast and Northwest China. The development of exemplary health enterprises should be promoted, particularly among micro- and small-sized enterprises and key industries. Enhanced occupational health management is especially needed for positions with high intensity noise exposure and high concentration dust exposure.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with western medicine in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH)of qistagnation and blood stasis type.Methods A total of 62 cases of patients with LDH of qistagnation and blood stasis type were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 31 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional western medicine for treatment,and the observation group was treated by acupuncture on the basis of the control group,the course of treatment covered three consecutive weeks.After three weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes in the Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA)scores and Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)scores,as well as the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores of pain,were observed before and after the treatment of the patients in the two groups.The changes in muscle tension,muscle hardness,and muscle elasticity of the multifidus muscle(MM)and lumbar multifidus muscle(LMM)before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.And the safety and the occurrence of adverse reactions in the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)The total effective rate was 96.77%(30/31)in the observation group and 74.19%(23/31)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the VAS,JOA,and ODI scores of the patients in the two groups improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.01).(3)After treatment,the muscle tension,muscle hardness,and muscle elasticity of LMM and MM of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 9.68%(3/31)in the observation group and 9.68%(3/31)in the control group;the intergroup comparison showed that there being no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with western medicine in the treatment of LDH of qistagnation and blood stasis type can significantly improve the lumbar function and clinical symptoms of the patients,and improve the muscular performance of the patients'LMM and MM,so as to enhance their quality of life.

To investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) complicated with fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital Airport Site in June 2024, clinical and genetic characteristic analyses were performed. Potential pathogenic genes were screened by whole-exome sequencing (WES), and Sanger sequencing validated the identified genetic variants within the family. The proband exhibited elevated blood glucose levels and positivity for tyrosine phosphatase antibodies, suggesting a diagnosis of T1DM. Multiple calcifications in the pancreas were observed in the proband. Genetic testing revealed that the proband carried two variants in the serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) gene, namely, c.194+2T>C and c.-215G>A. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, the c.194+2T>C mutation is preliminarily classified as pathogenic, while the c.-215G>A variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS). Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the c.194+2T>C variant in the SPINK1 gene results in a truncated protein, affecting the three-dimensional structure and activity of the protein. This mutation is in complete linkage disequilibrium with the c.-215G>A variant, which may have a protective function and influence the clinical phenotype. Given that the patient also has T1DM and FCPD, there should be increased awareness of the co-occurrence of both types of diabetes to prevent misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of the comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study that included 268 children with bacterial meningitis who were discharged from the infectious medicine ward of Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2018 to September 2023. The children were managed with a multidisciplinary collaborative comprehensive healthcare management model after discharge. Outpatient data at 1 month and 6, 12 and 24 months after discharge were collected, including (height, weight, body mass index, nutritional feeding status, hearing and vision screening results, Gesell developmental assessment results and intervention guidance services. The follow-up interval or frequency was dynamically adjusted or increased according to the child′s situation. The paired sample t-test and chi square test were applied to compare the differences in Gesell developmental quotient (DQ) and developmental delay rate between the first and last assessments to preliminarily explore the effectiveness of the comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge. Results:All the 268 children completed their first assessment one month after discharge, and 37 children were found to have abnormal physical growth, mainly obesity (28 children), and another 9 children were malnutrition. Nutritional intervention and feeding guidance services were provided to all the 37 children, and as of the last follow-up, 20 children′s physical growth evaluations had turned normal. A total of 188 children completed at least 2 developmental assessments, with an interval of (14.2±9.4) months between the first and last assessments (range: 3.1-49.5 months). The DQ values of in the energy region of adaptability, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, language, and personal social skills at the last assessment were significantly higher than those at the first assessment [(91.93±13.28) vs (80.73±15.96) points, (91.69±12.96) vs (78.31±16.58) points, (89.32±16.11) vs (80.68±15.63) points, (90.10±16.65) vs (82.04±18.43) points, (92.01±14.05) vs (77.82±17.42) points]; moreover, the rates of developmental delay in each energy region were significantly lower than those at the initial assessment (9.6% vs 35.1%, 9.6% vs 42.0%, 18.1% vs 33.0%, 13.3% vs 31.9%, 9.6% vs 42.0%) (all P<0.05). Among the 200 children who completed the hearing screening, 18 were found with hearing abnormalities, and 2 were diagnosed with hearing loss in the Otolaryngology Department. Among 217 children who completed vision screening, 23 had abnormalities, and 5 were diagnosed with ophthalmic abnormalities in Ophthalmology Department (2 with strabismus, 2 with refractive errors, and 1 with optic nerve injury). Two children were found to have autism-like behavior during monitoring, and were referred to a developmental behavior clinic to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and were given early diagnosis and intervention guidance. Conclusion:The comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge can integrate clinical and healthcare resources, which is beneficial for improving the prognosis and enhancing the quality of life for children with special health status.

Objective:To construct and test the reliability and validity of an assessment scale for self-management of patients with dry eye, so as to help patients establish dry eye related health behaviors.Methods:Based on the knowledge attitude and practice theory, the initial scale was constructed on the basis of literature review and qualitative interview, and revised through Delphi expert consultation and expert argumentation. After the preliminary investigation, 211 dry eye patients treated in the dry eye nursing outpatient department of Beijing Tongren Hospital from August 2023 to January 2024 were selected by convenience sampling method for questionnaire investigation to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:Among 211 dry eye patients, there were 58 males and 153 females, aged (39.31 ± 12.81) years old. The scale of self-management of patients with dry eye included 27 items in 3 dimensions: knowledge, attitude and behavior. The authority coefficient of the two rounds of expert consultation was 0.86, and the Kendall coordination index increased from 0.175 to 0.223 (both P < 0.01). The cumulative variance contribution rates of the three dimensions were 41.843%, 54.219% and 44.273%, respectively. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was 0.787, and the Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.641. Conclusions:The scale of self-management of patients with dry eye has good reliability and validity and can be used in the assessment of dry eye patients to provide a reference basis for targeted guidance and intervention.
