Objective To analyze the relationship of capillary index score(CIS)with postoperative outcome in the patients with middle cerebral artery(MCA)M1 segment stenosis after endovascu-lar stent implantation.Methods A total of 122 eligible patients in our hospital from April 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively recruited,and according to postoperative status,they were classi-fied into a good prognosis group(89 cases)and a poor prognosis group(33 cases).The clinical data were collected,and the preoperative and postoperative CIS values were evaluated.Spearman correlation analysis was applied to analyze the correlation of CIS with prognosis of the patients.ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the value of CIS in predicting postoperative prognosis,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to analyze the factors affecting the postopera-tive prognosis.Results The poor prognosis group exhibited significantly lower CIS,and larger proportions of aged ≥75 years,diabetes and history of stroke than the good prognosis group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Spearman correlation analysis found that CIS was positively correlated with prog-nosis after endovascular stent implantation in the patients with MCA M1 segment stenosis(r=0.446,P=0.000).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC,cut-off value,sensitivity and speci-ficity of CIS in predicting the postoperative outcomes in these patients was 0.790(95％CI:0.706-0.858),2.17,84.85％and 66.29％,respectively(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic analysis suggested that age ≥75 years,history of stroke,and concurrent diabetes were high risk factors for poor prognosis in the patients after endovascular stent implantation(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and CIS was a protective factor(OR=0.439,95％CI:0.294-0.655,P=0.000).Conclusion CIS is closely correlated with the prognosis of patients with MCA M1 segment stenosis after endovascular stent implantation.Early evaluation of CIS can provide certain predictive value for postoperative out-comes of these patients.

Objective To investigate the current status of radiation protection in non-medical radiation workplaces in Yantai, China, and to provide a scientific basis for occupational health management in non-medical radiation workplaces. Methods Non-medical radiation workplaces in Yantai were investigated using a questionnaire survey in 2022, including radiation source term, occupational health examination, personal dose monitoring, personal protective equipment, and radiation protection testing workplaces. Data were entered by a double-entry method and then analyzed. Results There were 56 non-medical radiation workplaces in Yantai, covering manufacturing, nonferrous metal ore mining, nuclear power plant, transportation, and technical services. There were 0 Class I radiation device, 150 Class II radiation devices, and 10 Class III radiation devices; there were 80 Class I radiation sources, 16 Class II radiation sources, 14 Class III radiation sources, 62 Class IV radiation sources, and 135 Class V radiation sources. There were 998 radiation workers, with an occupational health examination rate and personal dose monitoring rate of 98.3%. Among the 56 non-medical radiation workplaces, 47 (83.9%) were equipped with radiation protection monitoring instruments, 24 (51.1%) workplaces had verified the radiation protection monitoring instruments, with 2017 personal dose monitoring instruments and 2327 personal protective equipment in place, 42 (75%) workplaces carried out occupational health assessments, 44 (78.6%) workplaces carried out self-detection, and 53 (94.6%) workplaces carried out entrusting detections (monitoring pass rate: 100% [53/53]). The declaration rate of occupational hazard items was 87.5% (49/56). Conclusion There is still a gap between the current status and the requirements in the national regulations and standards regarding radiation protection in non-medical radiation workplaces. Therefore, the supervision and management of non-medical radiation workplaces should be further strengthened, especially the configuration and verification of radiation protection monitoring instruments.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of human brucellosis (referred to as brucellosis) from 2011 to 2018 in Yantai City, and to provide scientific basis for formulating and adjusting brucellosis prevention and control strategies.Methods:Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the monitoring data and epidemiological survey data (time, area, population distribution and treatment behavior) of brucellosis in Yantai from 2011 to 2018.Results:From 2011 to 2018, 795 cases of brucellosis were reported in Yantai, with an annual incidence of 1.42/100 000 and no deaths. Most of the cases were sporadic, accounting for 92.20% (733/795). The incidence peak was from March to August, accounting for 67.80% (539/795). In addition to Changdao County, cases of brucellosis had been reported in 12 counties (cities, districts). The incidence rate of the top three counties (cities, districts) were 5.20/100 000 (369 cases, accounting for 46.42%) in Laizhou City, 2.13/100 000 (97 cases, accounting for 12.20%) in Zhaoyuan City, and 1.77/100 000 (62 cases, accounting for 7.80%) in Penglai City. The male and female sex ratio was 2.82 to 1.00 (587 to 208). The age of onset was mainly 40 - 69 years old, accounting for 79.62% (633/795). Occupation was mainly farmers, accounting for 83.90% (667/795). Cases were mainly found in local medical institutions, accounting for 89.56% (712/795). The average interval between onset and diagnosis was 17 days, the longest was 40 days in 2012, and the shortest was 12 days in 2018.Conclusions:From 2011 to 2018, except Changdao County, 12 counties (cities and districts) in Yantai City had reported brucellosis cases. The incidence peak was in spring and summer, mainly in middle-aged and elderly people, so we should carry out targeted prevention and control strategies for different areas and key populations.
