Background Health literacy is closely related to mental health, and improving health literacy has been shown to promote mental well-being. However, whether occupational stress among workers in mining and manufacturing is associated with their occupational health literacy remains inconclusive. Objective To study the levels of occupational health literacy and occupational stress among workers in three industrial sectors (metal ores mining, metal smelting, and manufacture of non-metallic mineral products) in Gansu Province, and to analyze the correlation between them. Methods Between May and December 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to survey workers from 73 large, medium, and small and micro sized enterprises across the aforementioned industries in Gansu Province. Participants’ occupational health literacy and occupational stress levels were assessed. The LASSO regression model was applied to identifykey factors influencing occupational stress, and subsequently a multilevel random intercept mixed-effects logistic model was used to study factors influencing occupational stress and to explore the relationship between occupational health literacy and occupational stress. Results A total of 3611 workers across the three industries were surveyed, among whom 1031 (28.55%) experienced occupational stress. Workers with adequate occupational health literacy—whether assessed in terms of overall literacy or specific dimensions—demonstrated a significantly lower prevalence of occupational stress compared to those without adequate literacy (P<0.05). Through the LASSO regression analysis, it was found that the factors closely related to occupational stress were dimension one (occupational health legal knowledge), dimension two (basic knowledge of occupational health protection), and dimension four (healthy working methods and behaviors) of occupational health literacy, gender, average monthly income, and night shifts. The results from the three-level random intercept mixed-effects logistic regression model indicated that dimensions one (OR=0.69, 95%CI: 0.58, 0.82), two (OR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.58, 0.87), and four (OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.67, 0.98) of occupational health literacy were negatively correlated with the risk of occupational stress. Workers with an average monthly income of 3001–≤5000, 5001–≤7000, and ≥7001 yuan reported occupational stress risks that were 61% (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.81), 56% (OR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.41, 0.78), and 36% (OR=0.36, 95%CI: 0.24, 0.53) of those with an average monthly income ≤3000 yuan, respectively. Male workers (OR=1.66, 95%CI: 1.32, 2.10) and those on night shifts (OR=2.29, 95%CI: 1.90, 2.76) had a higher risk of occupational stress. The random effects variance showed that the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.12. Conclusion There is a negative correlation between occupational stress and occupational health literacy among workers in mining and manufacturing. Being male, having a low income, and working night shifts are risk factors affecting workers' occupational stress. It is recommended to focus on these groups of workers and incorporate occupational health literacy into workplace mental health promotion.

BACKGROUND:Obesity negatively affects dynamic balance during walking,and crossing barriers is a more routine functional activity that requires more stability in controlling body posture. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differences in dynamic stability between obese and average males,and to assess the balance ability of obese males using a relatively more challenging obstacle crossing. METHODS:A total of 24 male youths(12 each in the obese and normal groups)were recruited to complete the tests of walking on level ground and crossing obstacles of different heights(4 cm,11 cm,15 cm)in random order.Kinematic and dynamic data were collected using the Qualisys motion capture system and Kistler force stage.Statistical analysis was performed using two-factor(2 groups * 4 movement types)repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The obese group had a lower step speed than the normal group(P<0.05),the proportion of the first single support period decreased and the proportion of the second double support period increased when crossing the 11 cm versus 15 cm hurdles(P<0.05).When walking on level ground,the margin of stability in the internal and external directions in the normal group was greater than that of the obese group(P<0.05).When crossing the 4 cm hurdles,the margin of stability in the obese group was less than that in the normal group(P<0.05).When crossing the 11 cm hurdles,there was no significant difference between the two groups in the anterior-posterior direction(P>0.05),while there was a significant difference in the internal-external direction(P<0.05).When crossing the 15 cm hurdles,the margin of stability in the obese group was lower than that in the normal group(P<0.05).Overall,obesity decreases the body's ability to control the body,reduces dynamic stability during crossing the barrier,and increases the risk of falls compared with the general population.In addition,compared with level ground walking,the decrease in the dynamic stability when crossing barriers is more significant in the obese group than the general population.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of full free-breathing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in clinical practice.Methods:The study prospectively included patients who underwent full free-breathing CMR and traditional breath-holding cine imaging between June 1 and June 30, 2024. An analysis and comparison were conducted on the image acquisition time, image quality, and left ventricular function parameters under two scanning methods, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular cardiac output (LVCO),left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular stroke volume (LVSV), and left ventricular mass (LVM). In addition, the study conducted both quantitative and qualitative analyses of other sequences in full free-breathing CMR, including T 1 mapping, T 2 mapping, flow imaging, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Group comparisons were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test or paired t-test. Consistency assessments included Bland-Altman analysis, intraclass correlation coefficient ( ICC), and linear regression analysis. Results:Totally, 150 patients were recruited into the study. The average acquisition time of full free-breathing CMR was (22.1±3.1) min, with an average short axis cine sequence examination time of (2.7±0.4) min; The average acquisition time of short axis images in a breath-holding state was (4.9±1.4) min, which was significantly longer than the cine scan in the free-breathing state ( P0.001). The cine and LGE images quality scores obtained from full free-breathing CMR were 4 (4, 4) points and 5 (4, 5) points, respectively, while the cine image quality score obtained in a breath-holding state was 5 (4, 5) points. Compared with traditional breath-hold CMR, free-breathing CMR measurements showed slightly higher LVESV, and LVESVI, while LVEDV, LVEDVI, LVSV, LVCO, LVEF, and LVM were slightly lower, except for LVSV and LVCO, which showed no statistically significant difference, the differences in other cardiac function parameters were statistically significant ( P0.05). However, the two methods demonstrated good consistency( ICC0.947) and correlation (0.808 r0.993, P0.001). The Bland-Altman analysis showed that the bias for all cardiac function parameters was within 8.0%. The Native T 1 and T 2 values for free-breathing CMR were (1 277.5±57.0) ms and 40.1 (38.5, 41.4) ms, respectively, and the results of flow imaging and echocardiography were basically consistent. Conclusions:Free-breathing CMR is feasible and effective in clinical practice, showing a high level of consistency with left ventricular functional parameters obtained from traditional breath-hold scanning. It significantly shortens examination time and holds great clinical value for the promotion and widespread use of CMR.

Objective:To investigate the level of occupational health literacy (OHL) of key populations in Gansu Province in 2022, analyze the influencing factors, and provide a scientific basis for the formulation of health education measures for occupational populations.Methods:From April to December 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 11472 workers engaged in frontline jobs in 8 key industries across 86 counties and districts in Gansu Province as the research subjects. The "National Occupational Health Literacy Monitoring and Survey Personal Questionnaire" was used to investigate their OHL. The content includes basic demographic information and occupational health literacy level, and the chi-square test analysis was carried out by SPSS 23.0 software, and the influencing factors were analyzed by logistic regression analysis model.Results:In 2022, a total of 11 118 valid questionnaires were completed in Gansu Province, and the OHL level of key populations in Gansu Province was 48.3%. The OHL levels of occupational health legal knowledge, basic knowledge of occupational health protection, basic skills of occupational health protection and healthy working methods were 50.3%, 81.7%, 33.1% and 63.3%, respectively. In the eight key industries, the OHL level of workers from high to low is: ferrous and non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry (56.6%) , non-metallic mineral products industry (56.5%) , ferrous and non-ferrous metal mining and dressing industry (54.3%) , environmental sanitation industry (50.3%) , medical and health industry (49.9%) , education industry (40.9%) , transportation industry (40.4%) , and express delivery/takeaway delivery industry (23.3%) . The results of logistics regression analysis showed that gender, age, ethnicity, marital status, education level, average monthly income, nature and scale of employers, and length of service were the influencing factors of OHL level of front-line workers in eight industries in Gansu Province (all P<0.05) . Conclusion:In 2022, the OHL level of key populations in Gansu Province was 48.3%, which needs to be further improved. Occupational health publicity should be strengthened for low-income, low-educated, newly recruited, young and micro-enterprise occupational groups.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Linaclotide combined with Simethicone oil and compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte(PEG)for cleansing effect of bowel in patients with constipation.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was designed and implemented by single blind method.383 patients with constipation who underwent colonoscopy from April 2023 to August 2024 were enrolled and randomly divided into routine group(128 cases),experimental group A(128 cases)and experimental group B(127 cases).Routine group treated with 3 L PEG,experimental group A treated with 290 μg Linaclotide+2 L PEG and experimental group B treated with 290 μg Linaclotide+30 mL Simethicone+2 L PEG.Bowel preparation effect[Boston bowel preparation scale(BBPS)scores and foaming removal effect],lesion detection rate,first defecation interval,frequency of defecation,the success rate of cecal intubation,the insertion time of colonoscopy,the withdrawal time of colonoscopy,incidence of adverse reactions and willingness to repeat examination of the three groups were compared.Results No statistically significant differences were observed in the BBPS scores among the three groups(P>0.05);The foaming removal effect score in experimental group B was significantly lower than that in routine group and experimental group A,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The total lesion detection rate and polyps detection rate of experimental group B were significantly higher than those of routine group and experimental group A,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The first defecation interval of the routine group was significantly longer than that of experimental group A and experimental group B,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The frequency of defecation was compared among the three groups,and the difference was no statistically significant(P>0.05).The success rate of cecal intubation in the three groups was 100.0%,and the insertion time of colonoscopy was similar,the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05);The withdrawal time of colonoscopy in experimental group B was significantly shorter than that in routine group and experimental group A,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of abdominal distension and total adverse reactions in the routine group were higher than those in experimental group A and experimental group B,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);The willingness to repeat examination rate of the routine group was significantly lower than that of experimental group A and experimental group B,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion 290 μg Linaclotide combined with 30 mL Simethicone and 2 L PEG solution regimen has advantages in intestinal preparation for patients with constipation,and can achieve better intestinal cleaning effect than 3 L PEG solution and 290 μg linalopeptide+2 L PEG solution regimen,with higher safety and willingness to repeat examination.It can be recommended for bowel preparation for patients with constipation.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and potential mechanisms of the preparation of Abelmoschus manihot(L.)Medik(Jiahua Tablet)against acute radiation-induced myocardial injury,based on myo-cardial injury markers(sST2,cTnI)and oxidative stress damage-related indicators(SOD,MDA),and to provide new avenues for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced heart disease(RIHD).Methods Sixty-nine patients with thoracic malignant tumor who received radiotherapy at the department of radiation oncology in Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from December 2023 to November 2024 were enrolled in the study.Participants were randomly divided into control group(n=38)and observation group(n=31).The control group received standard radiotherapy in conjunction with conventional medications for RIHD,while the observation group was additionally administered Jiahua Tablet alongside the same regimen.Both groups took medications continuously for 1 month.Changes in serum levels of sST2,cTnI,SOD,and MDA were compared between the two groups 3 days prior to radiotherapy and 7 days after radiological therapy.Results On day 7 post-radiotherapy,the levels of sST2 and cTnI in the control group were highly elevated,showing statistically significant difference(P<0.01).In contrast,the levels of sST2 and cTnI in the observation group showed only mild elevation,and no statistically significant difference was observed(P>0.05).Between-group analysis demonstrated that post-treatment sST2 and cTnI levels in the observation group were substantially lower compared to those in the control group,indicating statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,SOD level in the control group was considerably lower compared to its pre-treatment level,and marked statistical significance was observed(P<0.01).SOD level in the observation group demonstrated a downward trend compared to baseline value,indicating no statistical significance(P>0.05).Between-group analysis demonstrated that post-treatment SOD level in the observation group was substantially elevated compared to that in the control group,indicating a highly significant disparity(P<0.05).After treatment,MDA level in the control group was considerably higher compared to its pre-treatment level,and a marked statistical significance was observed(P<0.05),whereas MDA level in the observation group showed only a mild increase compared to baseline value,with no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Between-group analysis demonstrated that post-treatment MDA level in the observation group was substantially lower compared to that in the control group,demonstrating a remarkably statistically significant difference(P<0.01).Conclusion The preparation of Abelmoschus manihot(L.)Medik(Jiahua Tablet)effectively inhibits acute radiation-induced myocardial injury,with its potential mechanism closely linked to the suppression of oxidative stress responses.

Objective To compare the difference,agreement,and axial length measurement success rate between biometers ZW-30 and IOLMaser 700 based on swept-source optical coherence tomography for the measurement of ocular bi-ological parameters in patients with cataracts.Methods A total of 126 cataract patients(233 eyes)who were advised to undergo cataract surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology at Beijing Tongren Hospital,Capital Medical University from January to February 2024 were included in this study.Two biometers were used to measure the axial length(AL),mean keratometry(Km),anterior chamber depth(ACD),lens thickness(LT),central corneal thickness(CCT),and horizontal corneal diameter[namely,the white-to-white(WTW)distance].The axial measurement success rate of the two biometers and the difference and agreement between the parameters were calculated.Results The mean difference between ZW-30 and IOLMaster 700 was(-0.006±0.042)mm for AL,(-0.074±0.204)D for Km,(0.031±0.051)mm for ACD,(0.001±0.005)mm for CCT,and(-0.286±0.337)mm for WTW,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The mean difference between ZW-30 and IOLMaster 700 was(0.008±0.215)mm for LT,and the difference was not statis-tically significant(t=0.579,P=0.563).The 95％limits of agreement range was between-0.011 mm and 0.000 mm for AL,between-0.474 D and 0.326 D for Km,between-0.010 mm and 0.012 mm for CCT,between-0.068 mm and 0.131 mm for ACD,between-0.116 mm and 0.159 mm for LT,and between-0.947 mm and 0.376 mm for WTW.The intra-class correlation coefficient of all measurements ranged from 0.790 to 1.000.The AL measurement success rate of IOLMaster 700 and ZW-30 was 95.3％and 95.7％,respectively.The latter had an AL measurement success rate of 98.7％after manually marking the position of the retinal identification line.Conclusion There were statistically significant differences between ZW-30 and IOLMaster 700 in the measurement of the AL,Km,ACD,and CCT,which,however,were not clinically significant.The agreement between both was good.ZW-30 had a higher AL measurement success rate,espe-cially for the manual identification function of eyes with opacified refractive media,which can further improve the AL meas-urement success rate and provide reference for clinical work.

Objective:To improve the understanding of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with pulmonary cryptococcosis.Methods:The clinical data of 1 DLBCL patient with pulmonary cryptococcosis in the Central Hospital of Fengxian District of Shanghai in May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:This 75-year-old female patient was asymptomatic after 2 cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy. The high-resolution CT of lung showed that lung nodules were progressively enlarged. Antibacterial treatment was ineffective. Pulmonary cryptococcosis was confirmed by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) targeted high-throughput sequencing (tNGS) and cryptococcus capsular antigen (CrAg) detection. The central nervous system was not involved. And the long-term adequate-dose fluconazole was prescribed for 6 months, and the treatment against lymphoma was given synchronously. The lung nodule lesions reduced after antifungal therapy for 1 month. The lung nodules disappeared after the follow-up of 6 months after completion of final chemotherapy. The evaluation of lymphoma indicated complete remission.Conclusions:Pulmonary cryptococcosis occurs insidiously and shows no specific symptoms; its imaging manifestations are variable and routine anti-infection is ineffective. Immunochemotherapy for lymphoma patients is a high-risk factor for cryptococcal infection. tNGS and CrAg testing for BALF are effective methods of the confirmed diagnosis. The early and long-term adequate-dose antifungal treatment is the key to preventing the recurrence or progression.

Objective To explore the mechanism of the long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)small nucleolar RNA host gene 1(SNHG1)/microRNA(miR)-340-5p/pentraxin 3(PTX3)signaling pathway in osimertinib resistance of lung cancer.Methods The expression levels of SNHG1,miR-340-5p and PTX3 in lung cancer tissues,adjacent tissues and osimertinib-sensitive and resistant cell lines were detected by real-time fluores-cence quantitative PCR.SNHG1 was knockdown using siRNA to detect its effects on cell proliferation,apopto-sis and osimertinib sensitivity.The dual-luciferase reporter assay verified the binding relationship between SNHG1 and miR-340-5p,as well as between miR-340-5p and PTX3.Western blotting was used to analyze the expression changes of PTX3 protein.Results SNHG1 was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and osimer-tinib-resistant cells,while the expression of miR-340-5p was downregulated.SNHG1 inhibits the function of miR-340-5p by directly binding to it and releases the negative regulation of miR-340-5p on PTX3,resulting in the high expression of PTX3 in lung cancer drug-resistant cells.Knockdown of SNHG1 can increase the apop-tosis rate of drug-resistant cells,inhibit the ability of colony formation,and enhance the sensitivity of cells to osimertinib.The miR-340-5p inhibitor upregulated the expression of PTX3 in lung cancer sensitive cells.Con-clusion SNHG1 as competitive endogenous RNA inhibition of miR-340-5p,thus raising PTX3 expression,the drug resistance of lung cancer cells,SNHG1/miR-340-5p/PTX3 shaft may provide potential targets in the treatment of lung cancer drug resistance.

Objective:To investigate the co-occurrence patterns of psychosocial and behavioral problems among children and to identify associated influencing factors.Methods:A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2023. A cluster random sample of 19 176 children aged 6-16 years was recruited from middle-income areas across 10 provincial capitals and municipalities in China. Psychological and behavioral problems, including anxiety, compulsive behavior, social withdrawal, depression, somatic complaints, social problems, schizoid, delinquent behaviors, hyperactivity, sexual issues, and aggression, were assessed using the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist parent version. Co-occurrence was defined as ≥2 concurrent problems. Children were divided into 4 groups by gender and age: boys aged 6-11 years, girls aged 6-11 years, boys aged 12-16 years, and girls aged 12-16 years. Those children who had psychosocial and behavioral problems were further categorized into the single-problem group, and the co-occurrence group based on assessment results. High-frequency co-occurrence phenotypes of children′s psychosocial and behavioral problems were identified. Demographic factors, such as parental employment, education, as well as psychosocial factors like parent-child relationship, screen time and outdoor activity, were investigated. χ 2 test was used to analyze differences between groups. Multivariate Logistic regression modeling was conducted to identify potential factors. Results:Among 14 711 children (7 501 boys, 7 210 girls) who provided effective questionnaires, the detection rates of single problem in the boys aged 6-11 years, girls aged 6-11 years, boys aged 12-16 years, and girls aged 12-16 years groups were 4.9% (171/3 461), 6.2% (193/3 120), 3.9% (158/4 040), and 5.1% (208/4 090), respectively; the detection rates of co-occurrence were 7.6% (262/3 461), 7.7% (241/3 120), 4.9% (199/4 040), and 5.7% (234/4 090), respectively. The overall detection rates of co-occurrence was higher than that of single problem ( χ2=25.47, P<0.001). Among children with co-occurrence, there were varied manifestations: in the boys aged 6-11 years group, the detection rates of social withdrawal (69.8% (183/262)), schizoid-like behavior (68.3% (179/262)), and compulsive behavior (67.6% (177/262)) were relatively high; in the girls aged 6-11 years group, the detection rates of schizoid-compulsive behavior (69.3% (167/241)), delinquent behavior (65.6% (158/241)), and hyperactivity (58.9% (142/241)) were relatively high; in the boys aged 12-16 years group, the detection rates of hyperactivity (78.9% (157/199)), compulsive behavior (67.3% (134/199)), and immature behavior (57.3% (114/199)) were relatively high; in the girls aged 12-16 years group, the detection rates of schizoid-like behavior (89.7% (210/234)), immature behavior (59.0% (138/234)), and cruelty (57.7% (135/234)) were relatively high. Maternal bachelor′s degree or higher ( OR=0.78, 95% CI 0.61-0.99, P=0.038) served as co-occurrence protective factors, whereas having 1 or more siblings, increased parent-child conflict and decreased parent-child interaction time ( OR=1.24, 1.41, 1.36; 95% CI 1.02-1.52, 1.15-1.73, 1.02-1.82, all P<0.05) were co-occurrence risk factors. Conclusions:Children exhibit strong co-occurrence tendencies in psychosocial and behavioral problems. Compulsive and schizoid traits are the predominant co-occurring phenotypes for childhood and girls respectively. ?Familial environment plays a critical role, necessitating ?multidimensional clinical assessments and ?family-centered interventions.
