Background Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major occupational health concern, particularly among workers exposed to adverse ergonomic conditions. Manganese production involves heavy physical demands, yet research on WMSDs among manganese workers remains limited. Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of WMSDs among manganese workers in a manganese enterprise in Guangxi. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to June 2024 on workers at a manganese factory in Guangxi. The Chinese Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to collect information on demographic characteristics, distribution of musculoskeletal symptoms, and work-related exposures. χ² test was applied to compare differences in positive WMSDs rates across groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associated factors. Results A total of 1476 workers were enrolled in the study after pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The overall prevalence of WMSDs was 34.15%. The most commonly affected body regions were the lower back (17.28%), neck (16.67%), and shoulders (13.82%). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that female, older age, and education level of college or above were associated with a higher risk of WMSDs (P<0.05). Awkward working postures were significantly associated with WMSDs in corresponding body regions; in particular, awkward postures of the neck, upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs were related to an increased risk of WMSDs in multiple body sites (P<0.05). In addition, poor lighting conditions, high workplace temperature, frequent or sustained arm support during work, and high job demands were associated with an increased risk of overall or site-specific WMSDs (P<0.05). Conclusion The high prevalence of WMSDs among manganese workers is closely associated with demographic characteristics, working postures, and work environment and organizational factors. Targeted ergonomic interventions focusing on high-risk body regions and key ergonomic exposures are warranted to reduce the risk of WMSDs among manganese workers.

Objective The effect of total polysaccharides on the absorption of small molecule components in Taohong Siwu Decoction was studied.Methods A rat middle cerebral artery occlusion/reper-fusion(MCAO/R)model was established by using thread occlu-sion method.Intragastric administration of THSWD.THSWD small molecule(THSWDX)and THSWDPX(THSWD polysaccharide plus small molecule)was performed once a day for7days each.Brain,serum,stool and colon were collected after the last dose.TTC staining was used to detect the infarct size,HE staining was used to detect the pathology of colon.16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was used to detect the changes of intestinal flora in rats.Serum metabolite differences were detected by fully targeted metabolomics.Results In the polysaccharide group,the cerebral infarction size was significantly reduced,the colonic crypt structure was intact,goblet cells were abundant,and the epithelial structure was intact.16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing results showed that compared with the model group,the abundance of Bacteroidetes could be decreased in each administration group,especially in THSWD,and the abundance of Pro-teobacteria,Firmicutes and verrucobacteria could be increased at the same time.The amino acid content in each administration group in-creased while the organic acid content decreased,The abundance of Bacteroidetes in the small molecule group administered alone was still high.and the short-chain fatty acid components such as butyric acid and glutaric acid were missing.and there were differences in trypto-phan metabolism and pyrimidine metabolism pathway.Conclusion Polysaccharides and small molecules have synergistic effects.and their main targets are intestinal flora,which are embodied in the following two aspects:①Polysaccharide can improve the structure of the flora,and promote better drug absorption;②Changes in the intestinal floraffect the changes of metabolites.and different metabolites partic-ipate in body metabolism through different ways to accelerate the recovery of the lesion site.

Objective:To analyze the current status, hotspots, and trends of community integration (CI) at home and abroad, providing directions for subsequent research.Methods:The China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Web of Science Core Collection data were used, and CiteSpace software was employed to analyze the publication, countries, disciplines, and keywords of CI.Results:A total of 932 Chinese and 2 319 English hits were included. The publication of CI had shown an increasing trend both domestically and internationally. Sociology and rehabilitation were the main disciplines in CI domestically and internationally, respectively. Domestically, CI research primarily focused on the community integration of migrant workers, floating populations, and accompanying family members. Internationally, the emphasis was on the integration of individuals with disabilities and other special groups. Future research directions in China were likely to focus on group work, the elderly, and relocated populations. Internationally, CI research would continue to concentrate on CI experiences and intervention methods for individuals with disabilities and special populations.Conclusion:CI is increasingly gaining attention both domestically and internationally. However, domestic research remains insufficient and needs to be expanded through more empirical studies in various vertical subfields. Future domestic scholars should continue to focus on CI of the elderly and engage in interdisciplinary research.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,differential diagnosis,and prognosis of breast carcinoma within fibroadenoma(FA).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and imaging data of 21 cases of FA-associated carcinoma.HE staining,immunohistochemistry using the EnVision method,and next-generation sequencing were employed to assess the clinicopathological characteristics and genetic alterations,with a review of the relevant literature.Results All patients were female,aged 21-67 years,with a median age of 48 years.Clinically,all lesions presented with well-circumscribed mass lesions.On imaging,12 cases demonstrated punctate or coarse calcifications,while 3 cases exhibited locally indistinct margins.Pathological examination revealed that the tumors had an average maximum diameter of 2.25 cm,with a gray-white nodular cut surface resembling FA.Microscopically,there was proliferation of either epithelial or spindle cells.The pathological diagnosis was FA-associat-ed in situ carcinoma in 16 cases(15 cases of low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ and 1 case of lobular carcinoma in si-tu),and invasive carcinoma in 5 cases(comprising 2 cases of invasive carcinoma-no special type,1 case of invasive lobular carcinoma,1 case of low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma and 1 case of fibromatosis-like metaplastic carcino-ma).In 18 cases,the carcinoma was confined within the FA,whereas in 3 cases the tumor locally extended beyond the FA,and 1 case exhibited ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis.Immunophenotypically,tumor cells in in situ carcinomas were negative for CK5/6,while the myoepithelial cells were p63-positive,and both estrogen receptor(ER)and progesterone receptor(PR)were diffusely and consistently positive.In invasive carcinoma,both ductal and lobular subtypes were ER and PR positive and HER2 negative.Conversely,in the low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma and fi-bromatosis-like metaplastic carcinoma,ER,PR,and HER2 were all negative,with p63 and CK5/6 positivity.Two ca-ses were negative for mismatch repair protein PMS2.Six cases had a family or personal history of malignant tumors;a-mong the 5 cases that underwent next-generation sequencing,2 cases harbored germline BRCA2 mutations,2 cases had germline PMS2 mutations,and 1 case exhibited no definitive genetic alteration.Conclusion Carcinoma arising within FA exhibits atypical clinical and imaging features.In patients with high-risk factors for breast cancer or family history of malignancy,or when calcifications are observed on imaging,prompt excision and biopsy are recommended.Recogniz-ing the abnormal morphology within FA and the use of immunohistochemistry are essential for accurate diagnosis,with careful differentiation from spindle cell metaplastic carcinoma and low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma.Overall,the prognosis is relatively favorable,and treatment should be tailored according to tumor type,molecular subtype,and stage.

To investigate the in vitro inhibitory mechanism of Nymphaea candida total flavonoids(NCTF)against Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)and its safety in mice,this study first deter-mined the antibacterial effect of NCTF on the clinically isolated strain S.aureus-C1.Subsequently,the inhibitory mechanism of NCTF on S.aureus-C1 was explored by measuring its effects on bac-terial growth curves,microstructure,intracellular AKP and LDH levels,and biofilm formation.Safety evaluation included determination of LD50 and MDT in mice,as well as analysis of serum biochemical parameters,organ indices,and histopathological observations.Results showed that NCTF effectively inhibited S.aureus-C1 proliferation,with an inhibition zone diameter of(18.98±0.67)mm and a MIC of 6.25 g/L.A concentration of 2×MIC nearly completely suppressed bacte-rial growth.Scanning electron microscopy revealed structural damage to bacterial cells,including collapse and shrinkage.AKP and LDH assays indicated significantly increased AKP activity(P＜0.05)and decreased intracellular LDH activity(P＜0.05)in the supernatant of drug-treated groups,demonstrating NCTF-induced disruption of cell walls and membranes leading to leakage of AKP and LDH.Crystal violet staining of biofilms showed significant inhibition rates of(43.77±9.16)％and(61.71±9.82)％at 2 × MIC and 4 × MIC concentrations,respectively(P＜0.05).Safe-ty assessments indicated low toxicity of NCTF in mice,with transient effects that returned to nor-mal levels within a short period.These findings demonstrate that NCTF exhibits potent antibacte-rial activity against S.aureus-C1 by damaging bacterial cell structures,increasing cell wall/mem-brane permeability,reducing biofilm formation,and displaying low toxicity.This study provides scientific evidence for clinical drug screening against bovine mastitis and the development of Nym-phaea candida resources.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism of mild hypothermia-induced reduction of neuronal apoptosis during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2)/adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway in rats.Methods:Forty SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 200-250 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), cerebral I/R group (IR group), hypothermia + cerebral I/R group (HIR group), hypothermia + cerebral ischemia-reperfusion + solvent group (HIR-DMSO group) and hypothermia + ischemia-reperfusion + CaMKK2 inhibitor STO-609 group (HIR-STO609 group). A global cerebral I/R injury model was established using the four-vessel occlusion method. In HIR group, HIR-DMSO group, and HIR-STO609 group, an ice blanket was used to reduce the body temperature immediately after cerebral ischemia, bringing the core body temperature down to 32.5-33.5 ℃, and rewarming was carried out 4 h later. One hour before developing the model, STO-609 solution 4 μl was injected into the lateral ventricle in HIR-STO609 group, and the equal volume of dimethyl sulfoxide solution was given instead in HIR-DMSO group. At the end of reperfusion, the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was performed. Then the rats were sacrificed under deep anesthesia, and the hippocampal tissues were taken to observe the pathological results of the hippocampal tissues (using HE staining and Nissl staining) and to determine the apoptosis rate of neurons (by TUNEL method) and expression of B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), CaMKK2, phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) and AMPK (by Western blot). Results:Compared with Sham group, the mNSS and apoptosis rate of neurons in the hippocampal tissues were significantly increased, the expression of Bax was up-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2, CaMKK2 and p-AMPK was down-regulated, and the ratio of p-AMPK/AMPK was decreased in IR group ( P<0.05). Compared with IR group, the mNSS and apoptosis rate of neurons in the hippocampal tissues were significantly decreased, the expression of Bax was down-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2, CaMKK2 and p-AMPK was up-regulated, and the ratio of p-AMPK/AMPK was increased in HIR group ( P<0.05). Compared with HIR group, the mNSS and apoptosis rate of neurons in the hippocampal tissues were significantly increased, the expression of Bax was up-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2, CaMKK2 and p-AMPK was down-regulated, the ratio of p-AMPK/AMPK was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the aforementioned parameters in HIR-DMSO group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Mild hypothermia can inhibit neuronal apoptosis by up-regulating the CaMKK2/AMPK signaling pathway, thus reducing cerebral I/R injury in rats.
