Objective:To observe the effect of long-term follow-up of cerebral aneurysm embolization and to explore the related factors of aneurysm recurrence.Methods:A total of 142 cases of intracranial aneurysm rupture embolization patients treated in the Yuebei People′s Hospital from August 2000 to August 2013 were selected as the study objects. All of them underwent embolization treatment, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), CT angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) were performed after surgery. The follow-up period was 10 years, and the long-term outcome was evaluated using the Stroke Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. The results of immediate postoperative angiography and long-term follow-up in different embolization groups were analyzed. The risk factors of recurrence after ruptured cerebral aneurysm embolization were analyzed by single factor and independent risk factors were analyzed by multiple factor.Results:Of 142 patients (161 aneurysms), 106 were embolized by simple embolization and 55 were embolized by stent-assisted embolization. There was no significant difference in the results of immediate embolization between simple embolization and stent assisted embolization ( P>0.05). The proportion of giant aneurysms in the stent-assisted embolization group was higher than that in the simple embolization group ( P<0.05). Follow-up results showed that among the 142 patients, 106 had mRS score 0, 27 had mRS score 1, 5 had mRS score 2, and 4 had mRS score 4. The good clinical prognosis rate was 93.7%(133/142). Of the 161 aneurysms, 36 recurred, with a recurrence rate of 22.4%(36/161). Univariate analysis showed that aneurysm size, cervical tumor and embolization degree were risk factors for cerebral aneurysm recurrence (all P<0.05). The results of multi-factor analysis showed that aneurysm size was an independent risk factor for cerebral aneurysm recurrence ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The long-term follow-up after embolization of cerebral aneurysms is good, but cerebral aneurysms still have the possibility of recurrence. Aneurysm size is an independent risk factor for aneurysm recurrence. Timely detection of cerebrovascular changes can be treated in time to avoid cerebrovascular accidents.

Objective:To explor staging of the general course of occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) to better understand the characteristics of OMDT course, and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment and related studies.Methods:We collected main clinical manifestation and auxiliary examination data during hospitalization to May 2019 from 35 OMDT patients with complete course record who were hospitalized from January 2014 to December 2018. Continuous monitoring indicators with changing trends including main clinical manifestation indicators, peripheral white blood cell counts, liver function indicators such as serum alanine aminotransferase activity, myocardial enzyme indicators such as serum lactate dehydrogenase activity were selected and used with their standardized values to do cluster analysis on time point (week as unit) of the course of each patient. The clustering results combined with changing trends of the indicators were used to determine the stages of course of each patient, and therefore the staging of general course of OMDT was calculated. Positive rates or average levels of the indicators were compared between different stages, and the correlation of duration of each stage was analyzed with physical characteristics, disease characteristics and treatment measures of the patients.Results:General course of OMDT could be divided into acute phase (3.0±1.5) weeks and chronic phase (11.0±4.4) weeks, while chronic phase could be further divided into early period (5.0±3.0) weeks and later period (6.5±3.7) weeks. Compared with chronic phase, clinical manifestation indicators, white blood cell counts (except eosinophil count) , liver function indicators (except total protein and albumin concentration) , and myocardial enzyme indicators were all increased (all P<0.01) , while total protein and albumin concentration decreased ( P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively) in acute phase. Compared with later period of the chronic phase, clinical manifestation indicators (except fever) , white blood cell counts (except lymphocyte count) , liver function indicators (except total protein and albumin concentration) , and creatine kinase isoenzyme activity were all increased (all P<0.01) , while total protein, albumin concentration and creatine kinase activity decreased (all P<0.01) . Duration of acute phase were positively correlated with the time before glucocorticoid treatment ( rspearman =0.62, Padjust<0.01) , and early and later periods of chronic phase were both positively correlated with corresponding duration of glucocorticoid treatment ( rspearman =0.96, Padjust<0.01, rspearman =0.91, Padjust<0.01, respectively) . Conclusion:For the first time, the study objectively determined stages of general course of OMDT based on combination of multiple indicators, and analyzed characteristics of main indicators in each phase and potential factors related to the duration of each phase.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential association between occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis induced by trichloroethylene( OMDT) and past infection,reactivation and recent infection of human herpesvirus 6( HHV6) and human cytomegalovirus( HCMV). METHODS: Twenty OMDT patients were recruited as case group by using judgment sampling method. Twenty healthy workers occupationally exposed to trichloroethylene for more than half a year were randomly selected as exposure group. Twenty healthy people with no exposure history to trichloroethylene were randomly selected as control group. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to qualitatively determine the titer of HHV6 and HCMV immunoglobulin( Ig) G,Ig M antibodies from serum samples of these subjects. The polymerase chain reaction was used to qualitatively detect HHV6 and HCMV DNA from whole blood DNA samples of these subjects. The differences of previous infection rate,reactivation rate and recent infection rate of HHV6 and HCMV among these three groups of patients with different clinical types of OMDT were analyzed. RESULTS: The prevalence of HHV6 and HCMV infection in the case group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant( 65. 5% vs 20. 0%,75. 0% vs15. 0%,P < 0. 017). The reactivation rate of HHV6 and HCMV in the case group was higher than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant( P > 0. 017). The recent infection rate of HHV6 and HCMV in the case group was not significantly different from that in the control group( P > 0. 017). There was no significant difference in the past infection rate,reactivation rate and recent infection rate of HHV6 and HCMV between the exposure group and the control group( P > 0. 05),meanwhile in different clinical types of OMDT patients( P > 0. 05). CONCLUSION: OMDT may be associated with past infection of HHV6 and HCMV.

Occupational cancer causes a large number of deaths every year, posing a great threat to public health in China and abroad. Occupational cancer surveillance can help to dynamically monitor and predict the trend of cancer occurrence and provide basic reference for the formulation of occupational cancer prevention and treatment measures. Occupational cancer surveillance started late in China relative to developed western countries, but formed its own characteristics through years of development of legislation and institutional reform, and large-scale epidemiological investigations and laboratory research. Occupational cancer surveillance is currently a part of cancer surveillance system of the National Cancer Center, as well as an integral part of occupational disease surveillance in China. It generally includes not only cancer incidence surveillance, but also cancer-related occupational risk factor surveillance, and surveillance of effects of occupational cancer prevention, treatment, and intervention. The methods of occupational cancer surveillance in China include passive monitoring, active monitoring, and sentinel monitoring. These methods have their respective advantages and disadvantages and would be best to be combined in practice. The rapid development of economy and technology, and continuous advancement of hospital informatization, especially the establishment and application of big data on occupational cancer, may point out directions for the development of occupational cancer surveillance in the future. Occupational cancer prevention and control in China still has a long way to go and the destination is to achieve primary prevention for occupational cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between human leukocyte antigen( HLA)-B~* 13 : 01 allele and liver dysfunction in patients with occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene( OMDT). METHODS: Twenty patients with OMDT were chosen as study subjects by using a convenient sampling method. The sequence-based genotyping method was used for detecting HLA-B~* 13 : 01 allele in the DNA samples from peripheral blood of all study subjects. The serum levels of total protein,albumin,total bilirubin,direct bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities in patients were examined. The correlation between the number of HLA-B~* 13 : 01 alleles and the liver function indices was also analyzed. RESULTS: There were 16 patients carrying HLA-B~* 13: 01 allele. The serum total protein in the HLA-B~* 13: 01 carriers was higher than that of non-carriers( P < 0. 05). The serum total protein was positively correlated with the number of patients carrying HLA-B~* 13: 01 alleles( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The degree of liver function damage in OMDT patients may be related to carrying the HLA-B~* 13: 01 allele.
