Work serves as a critical means of obtaining resources, facilitating personal growth, realizing self-worth, and engaging in social interactions. However, work-related diseases pose significant threats to workers’ health and productivity, and impose considerable economic burdens. This article categorized work-related diseases into six major types, including musculoskeletal disorders, mental and behavioral disorders, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, reproductive system diseases, and non-specific respiratory diseases, and summarized their risk factors, assessment methods, policy regulation, and prevention and control measures. Current research in this field predominantly relies on cross-sectional studies, which present limitations in causal inference and potential risks of bias. Future studies should expand sample sizes, optimize research designs, and establish multidimensional evaluation systems to comprehensively assess the health and economic impacts of work-related diseases. It is recommended to enhance the translation of research findings into practice, thereby providing a scientific basis for the occupational health protection system and promoting the well-being and sustainable development of the working population.

Bovine piroplasmosis, caused by infections with genus of Babesia and Theileria, is a tick-borne hemoparasitic disease. Recovered cattle often become asymptomatic persistent carriers, which represent potential sources of infection, and the pathogens of some forms of bovine piroplasmosis have zoonotic potential, which greatly threatens the public health security. Currently, the etiological diagnostic approaches of bovine piroplasmosis mainly include microscopy of blood smears, PCR assay, fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR assay, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification, and serological assay mainly includes indirect fluorescent antibody assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunochromatographic assay. This article systematically reviews the advances in the application of etiological approaches and serological assay for diagnosis of bovine piroplasmosis, and proposes future directions in the development of bovine piroplasmosis diagnosis, so as to provide insights into effective surveillance and precision control of bovine piroplasmosis in China.

Based on the view that wind pathogen runs through the entire course of the occurrence and development of nephrotic syndrome, it is proposed that the core pathogenesis of refractory nephrotic syndrome (RNS) in children involves imbalance of the lung, spleen, and kidney, invasion of wind pathogen, and stagnation of turbidity and stasis, and that directing the turbid downward with wind medicinals is the key therapeutic strategy. In clinical practice, according to the distinct pathogenic characteristics of three patterns, including defensive qi insecurity of the lung, yang deficiency with loss of regulation, and binding of turbidity and stasis, three corresponding methods are applied, which are diffusing the lung to consolidate defensive qi, elevating yang to supplement the spleen and kidney, and activating blood to unblock turbidity and stasis. For the pattern of defensive qi insecurity of the lung, wind medicinals are used to penetrate and disperse external pathogens, such as fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae) and mahuang (Herba Ephedrae) for diffusing the lung, dispersing wind, and consolidating defensive qi. For yang deficiency with loss of regulation pattern, wind medicinals are employed to elevate yang and assist transformation, such as shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) and gegen (Radix Puerariae Lobatae) for raising clear yang, warming and activating the spleen and kidney. For binding of turbidity and stasis pattern, wind medicinals with scurrying and collateral‑unblocking properties are used, such as jixueteng (Caulis Spatholobi), luoshiteng (Caulis Trachelospermi), and chuanshanlong (Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae) for dispelling wind, activating blood, resolving stasis, and directing turbidity downward. In all these methods, the core principle is to use wind medicinals to regulate qi movement, open and unblock the sweat pores, and separately eliminate turbid pathogens, thereby providing a theoretical and practical basis for the traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment of RNS in children.

ObjectiveCurrently, evidence regarding whether the left or right nostril should be preferentially selected for nasotracheal intubation (NTI) in children remains insufficient, particularly under continuous visualization conditions. This study aimed to compare the efficiency and safety of NTI via the left versus right nostril in children under flexible intubation video endoscope (FIVE) guidance. MethodsA total of 100 children aged 3-7 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II, who were scheduled for elective dental caries treatment under general anesthesia, were randomly assigned to undergo FIVE-guided NTI via either the left nostril (group L) or the right nostril (group R). The primary outcome was intubation time. Secondary outcomes included first-attempt success rate, number of intubation attempts, incidence and severity of epistaxis, peri-intubation hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, and postoperative procedure-related complications (nasal blockage, sore throat, and hoarseness). ResultsNo statistically significant between-group difference was found in intubation time (L group: 36.86 ± 6.04 s vs. R group: 37.96 ± 6.20 s; P=0.371) or first-attempt success rate (96% vs. 92%, respectively; P=0.400). The incidence and severity of epistaxis were comparable between groups (10% vs. 12%; P=0.749). No statistically significant between-group differences were observed in hemodynamic and respiratory parameters at all measured time points (all P>0.05). The incidences of postoperative nasal congestion, sore throat, and hoarseness were low in both groups. ConclusionIn children undergoing FIVE-guided NTI, tracheal catheter insertion via the left or right nostril yields comparable efficacy and safety. When using visualization-guided techniques in routine pediatric clinical practice, nostril laterality does not need to be prioritized when selecting the insertion side for NTI.

With the development of science and technology, electronic devices have become an inevitable part of our daily life and work. There has been an increase of interest in the use of various video display terminals(VDT). The ocular surface is the first barrier of the visual system to resist the damage of the external environment. In recent years, the number of patients with dry eye has consistently increased with the excessive use of VDT. Blue light produced by VDT, with wavelengths ranging from 400 to 500 nm, has a high energy in visible light. Therefore, blue light may also be an important risk factor for dry eye. In particular, the outbreak of COVID-19 has left people worldwide suffering from increased blue light, which promotes further research into dry eye caused by blue light emitted from VDT. In this review, we summarize the recent studies on the role of blue light produced by VDT in dry eye to provide reference for future related research.

Objective: To analyze serological and molecular characteristics of asymptomatic HBV infection in HBV surface antigen positive (HBsAg+) blood donors from Dalian. Methods: The prevalence of HBsAg was analyzed among blood donors in Dalian between 2013 and 2022. Randomly selected HBsAg+ blood samples were subjected to HBV serological testing, HBV viral DNA quantification, and HBV genotyping. Results: Over this ten-year period, the prevalence of HBsAg decreased from 1.25% to 0.50% among blood donors in Dalian. Donors who tested positive for HBsAg prior to donation using a rapid test (RT) accounted for 92.5% of all HBsAg+ donors identified. A total of 240 confirmed HBsAg+ blood donors were randomly selected, including 125 donors with positive results and 115 with negative results in the pre-donation rapid test. HBsAg+ donors were mainly males (71.2%), with a median age of 42, and 97.5% of them being first-time donors. Based on HBV serological profiles, three stages of infection were identified: early infection (2.9%), suspected acute hepatitis (0.8%), and chronic infection (96.3%). The dominant HBV genotypes were C (68.9%) and B (28.4%). Among chronic HBV infection individuals, donors infected with HBV genotype B were older than those infected with genotype C (median age: 45y vs 38.5y, P<0.05). Additionally, they showed significantly lower HBsAg levels with a narrower distribution range than those infected with genotype C [median: 23.2 IU/mL (range: <0.05-7 910 IU/mL) vs 968 IU/mL (range: <0.05-3.4×10
), P<0.05]. However, no significant difference was observed in the HBV DNA loads between these two genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusion: Between 2013 and 2022, the prevalence of HBsAg among blood donors in Dalian showed a year-over-year decline. Chronic infection was predominant among HBsAg+ first-time blood donors. The characteristics of chronic infection in blood donors differed significantly depending on the viral genotype, manifesting as differences in age of infected individuals and HBsAg level distribution.

ObjectiveTo understand the epidemic characteristics of influenza in Beijing from 2023 to 2024, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza. MethodsData on influenza-like illness (ILI) from secondary level and above hospitals, etiology surveillance data, and influenza clusters outbreaks data from 2023‒2024 were used to analyze the epidemic trend and pathogenic characteristics of influenza. Furthermore, an influenza comprehensive index was used to categorize the epidemic intensity at the severity level. ResultsA total of 2 065 857 ILI cases were reported in 2023‒2024 epidemic season, and the percentage of ILI was 3.67%. The age group of 5‒14 years accounted for the highest proportion of ILI (30.48%). A total of 41 766 throat swabs from ILI were detected, with a positive rate of 17.28%.A (H3N2) (51.86%) and B Victoria (41.93%) were the most prevalent subtypes of influenza virus. Clustered influenza outbreaks occurred mainly in primary schools (57.78%) and middle schools (35.55%), mainly caused by the influenza A (H3N2) subtype (85.93%). According to the influenza comprehensive index (I), the period of influenza activity and above (I>0.5) lasted for a total of 37 weeks, accounting for 71.15% of the entire influenza season. ConclusionCompared with previous years, the epidemic level of influenza in Beijing was increased in 2023‒2024, and the peak time became earlier. The comprehensive index method can objectively evaluate the level of influenza epidemic and provide suggestions for the future prevention and control of influenza in Beijing.
