Occupational hazards pose a major public health challenge that seriously endangers the health of the working population. As a statutory key component of occupational health work, occupational health risk assessment urgently requires more attention. Currently, commonly used occupational health risk assessment methods exhibit notable deficiencies such as insufficient comprehensive assessment capabilities and limited applicability. The absence of assessment methods that accurately align with occupational health practices has constrained the depth and breadth of occupational health risk assessment in China, resulting in inadequate risk identification and significant deficiencies in social service provision, decision-making support, and health protection. Meanwhile, under the current assessment system, the occupational health big data obtained from risk assessments, occupational health examinations, biological monitoring, and other sources suffer from issues such as fragmented resources and low utilization rates. As a result, existing systems are unable to effectively support critical operational needs, including accurate risk early warning, timely risk response, and refined risk management. This study systematically reviewed the common occupational health risk assessment methods and the current status of occupational health risk assessment and big data applications in China, identified existing shortcomings, proposed a comprehensive risk assessment and risk prediction-early warning scheme based on the application of occupational health big data. The scheme is expected to provide theoretical foundations and methodological references for advancing comprehensive risk assessment of occupational health through big data analytics, and to enhance the level of occupational health management, thereby safeguarding worker health and promoting sustainable socioeconomic development.

Background Occupational health risk assessment is the foundation of safeguarding workers' occupational health. However, traditional assessment methods often fail to adequately account for health effects and enterprise-specific characteristics, limiting their comprehensive evaluation capabilities. Additionally, these methods suffer from inconsistent standards, narrow application scopes, insufficient hazard sub-categorization, and indicator systems that poorly support informatization and digital transformation. To address these gaps, this study proposes methodological innovations focusing on the assessment indicator system. Objective To construct a systematic, generalizable, and practical occupational health comprehensive risk assessment indicator system by leveraging occupational health practices and surveillance big data from Shanghai. Methods Initial system indicators were extrated through literature review. Subsequently, expert interviews and group discussions, combined with occupational health surveillance big data, were used to refine these indicators, forming a candidate pool covering two major dimensions: risk factor characteristics and enterprise characteristics. The Delphi method was applied to evaluate and screen the indicators, while the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to construct a hierarchical model and determine indicator weights. Results A total of 76 articles were reviewed, identifying 25 candidate indicators. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, 8 primary indicators (e.g. hazard characteristics, exposure characteristics, health effects, industry characteristics, management characteristics, protective features, adverse events, and uncertainty) and 17 secondary indicators (hazard factor characteristics, exposure levels, number of people exposed, number of factor exposure, special physical exam indicators, suspected occupational diseases, occupational diseases, industry categories, organizational management, hazard reporting, occupational health training, hazard factor testing, occupational health exams, protective facilities, personal protective equipment, administrative penalties, and data quality) were finalized. The expert response rate was 100%, and the expert authority coefficient was 0.86. The Kendall's W coefficients for importance and accessibility scores across the two consultation rounds were 0.41, 0.40 and 0.41, 0.50. A hierarchical model targeting the comprehensive occupational health risk index was constructed, comprising two major elements and three levels of indicators. AHP was applied to calculate the weights, with all judgment matrices demonstrating satisfactory consistency (consistency ratio < 0.1). Conclusion By integrating risk factor profiles with enterprise-specific characteristics via the Delphi-AHP approach, a robust occupational health comprehensive risk assessment indicator system is established. This system provides a practical framework for digitized occupational health management, though further empirical validation in real-world settings is warranted.

The precise diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) face major challenges such as the complexity of tumor microenvironment, treatment resistance, and a high risk of recurrence and metastasis. In recent years, ultrasound technology has moved beyond its traditional role in screening and localization, gradually evolving into a multidimensional therapeutic platform capable of energy activation, targeted delivery, local ablation, immune modulation, and therapeutic feedback. This article systematically reviews the latest advances in the basic research on ultrasound techniques in HCC treatment and integrated management. In terms of treatment, intervention strategies represented by microbubble/nanobubble-mediated delivery, sonodynamic therapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and histotripsy not only enable in situ physical destruction of lesions, but also effectively reverse tumor immune tolerance networks through deep synergy with sonogenetics, metabolic reprogramming, and immunochemotherapy. In terms of integrated management, novel sonosensitive nanodelivery systems provide a platform for energy activation and targeted controlled release. To address the translational bottlenecks in this field, it is recommended to develop standardized consensus on preclinical therapeutic ultrasound parameters, in order to establish a new translational paradigm for individualized precise diagnosis and treatment of HCC.

Although the mTOR-4E-BP1 signaling pathway is implicated in aging and aging-related disorders, the role of 4E-BP1 in regulating human stem cell homeostasis remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the expression of 4E-BP1 decreases along with the senescence of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Genetic inactivation of 4E-BP1 in hMSCs compromises mitochondrial respiration, increases mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and accelerates cellular senescence. Mechanistically, the absence of 4E-BP1 destabilizes proteins in mitochondrial respiration complexes, especially several key subunits of complex III including UQCRC2. Ectopic expression of 4E-BP1 attenuates mitochondrial abnormalities and alleviates cellular senescence in 4E-BP1-deficient hMSCs as well as in physiologically aged hMSCs. These f indings together demonstrate that 4E-BP1 functions as a geroprotector to mitigate human stem cell senescence and maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, particularly for the mitochondrial respiration complex III, thus providing a new potential target to counteract human stem cell senescence.

To meet the requirement of pathological practice and development, we systematically analyzed the situation of pathological residents training and the importance of initiating the clinical scientific research training. Additionally, we proposed the principle and implementation strategy for clinical scientific research training. According to features of pathological practice, we employed the modularized teaching to divide the training courses into several modules: discussion module for clinical pathology, lecture module for advanced research, and training modules for basic scientific theory, technology and writing skill. With these approaches, the systematic and structured system of standardized residents training is implemented to improve the clinical research ability of pathological residents.
