Comprehensive occupational hazard risk assessment in employers is a core component of the pilot program for occupational health classification supervision and law enforcement. The quality and effectiveness of classification-based supervision are directly affected by both the assessment process and its outcomes. However, several issues have emerged since the implementation of the pilot program on the comprehensive risk assessment, including an excessive number of self-assessment items, lack of implementation basis for certain self-assessment items, misinterpretation for certain self-assessment items, inconsistencies between evaluation criteria and existing standards, incomplete implementation of some items, omission of comprehensive risk assessment elements, unclear definitions of key industries and key occupational hazards, and inconvenient assessment procedures on comprehensive risk assessment. To enhance the applicability, accuracy, and objectivity of the comprehensive risk assessments conducted by employers, it is recommended to optimize self-assessment items, standardize risk assessment content, tailor comprehensive risk assessments to actual workplace conditions, refine the identification of key industries and key occupational hazards, improve comprehensive risk assessment methodologies, and establish clear grading rules for the comprehensive risk assessment.

In this work, starting from 4-hydroxycoumarin, three series of 22 coumarin derivatives, among which 8 have not been reported in the literature, were synthesized and their in vitro anti-inflammatory activities and mechanisms of action were preliminarily investigated using mouse macrophage model. The results showed that most of the derivatives could significantly inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factor NO, with compounds 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i, 2j, 4e, and 4f showing better anti-inflammatory activity than the positive control drug dexamethasone. Further experiments showed that compounds 2h and 4f significantly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in RAW264.7 macrophages, and could, therefore, be used as lead compounds for further studies.

Objective:
To analyze the trends in new diagnosis rates of HIV/AIDS cases in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2009 to 2023, so as to provide the basis for improving HIV/AIDS prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Data of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Huzhou City from 2009 to 2023 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The new diagnosis rate was calculated as the ratio of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases within one year to the permanent resident population during the same period. The gender, age, and regional distribution characteristics of new diagnosis rates of HIV/AIDS cases were described. The trends were analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC).
Results:
A total of 2 088 new HIV/AIDS cases were reported in Huzhou City from 2009 to 2023, with an average annual new diagnosis rate of 4.53/105. The new diagnosis rates showed an overall increasing trend from 2009 to 2023 (AAPC=12.745%, P<0.05), with rapid growth during 2009 to 2015 (APC=32.734%, P<0.05) but no significant trend during 2015 to 2023 (P>0.05). The average annual new diagnosis rate was significantly higher in males than in females (7.54/100 000 vs. 1.40/100 000, P<0.05). Male new diagnosis rate trend closely mirrored the overall population pattern, while females showed a continuous upward trend without clear inflection point (AAPC=12.575%, P<0.05). Age-specific analysis revealed average annual new diagnosis rates of 2.75/100 000, 6.16/100 000 and 3.83/100 000 for AIDS/HIV cases aged <25, 25-<50 and ≥50 years, respectively. The cases aged <25 years showed no significant trend (P>0.05), while the cases aged 25-<50 and ≥50 years followed patterns similar to the overall population. The average annual new diagnosis rates of HIV/AIDS cases in Wuxing District, Nanxun District, Deqing County, Changxing County and Anji County were 6.54/100 000, 3.43/100 000, 3.45/100 000, 3.56/100 000 and 4.94/100 000, respectively, showing overall upward trends (AAPC=9.672%, 27.599%, 11.800%, 18.896% and 10.254%, all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The new diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS cases showed an overall upward trend in Huzhou City from 2009 to 2023. Cases are mainly concentrated among males, people aged 25-<50 years and Wuxing District, making them key targets for HIV/AIDS prevention and control.

Objective:To investigate the implementation status of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip intracardiac electrocardiogram positioning technology in the hospitals, so as to provide reference for promoting the development of intracardiac electrocardiogram positioning technology.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. Using the convenient sampling method, members of Intravenous Infusion Committee of Chinese Nursing Association selected PICC/ intravenous therapy leaders meeting the inclusion criteria from 5 to 10 hospitals in their work area as the research objects from December 2022 to January 2023. The self-made PICC Tip Intracardiac Electrocardiogram Positioning Technology Implementation Status Questionnaire was used to investigate the PICC/intravenous therapy leaders. A total of 205 questionnaires were distributed in 28 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities directly under the Central Government, and 199 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 97.1%. Results:Among 199 hospitals, 63.3% (126/199) of them successfully implemented PICC tip intracardiac electrocardiogram positioning technology. Among the 126 hospitals that implemented PICC tip intracardiac electrocardiogram positioning technology, only 20 hospitals included it in their charging items. A total of 50.3% (100/199) of hospitals established a unified intracardiac electrocardiogram guided PICC catheterization procedure; 47.7% (95/199) of hospitals organized/participated in training programs on PICC tip intracardiac electrocardiogram positioning technology, and 57.3% (114/199) of hospital PICC/intravenous therapy leaders participated in training programs related to PICC tip intracardiac electrocardiogram positioning technology. In terms of the relevant achievements of 199 research hospitals, 56 papers, seven utility model patents and 28 awards were issued.Conclusions:The application, training and achievement output of PICC tip intracardiac electrocardiogram positioning technology need to be further improved. It is suggested to sink high-quality resources, formulate implementation procedures and evaluation standards, standardize nursing service project management, increase training efforts, and improve scientific research thinking of intravenous therapy nurses, so as to promote the standardization development of new technologies.

Objective:To systematically review thrombosis risk prediction models associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in adults and provide a basis for the clinical application of these models and the development of subsequent models.Methods:Databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Ovid were searched to collect studies on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC, covering all entries from the inception of the databases until December 31, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias.Results:Nineteen studies were included. D-dimer was the most common predictive factor; only five studies underwent external validation, and six studies evaluated model calibration. All included studies exhibited high risk of bias, primarily due to methodological deficiencies in model development and validation processes; the combined area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for nine models was 0.80 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.75-0.85) .Conclusions:Research on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC is still in its developmental stage. Most of the known models perform well with comprehensive and easily obtainable predictive factors, yet they exhibit methodological shortcomings. Future research should focus on improving the methodological quality and external validation during model development and validation processes.
