Background The quality of occupational health technical services is directly linked to the protection of workers' health rights and the efficacy of occupational disease prevention and control. However, the industry still faces critical challenges: sporadic instances of institutional non-compliance and persistent irregularities in professional practice continue to undermine overall service performance. Objective To assess the current quality status of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province and propose countermeasures for quality improvement, providing a scientific basis for policy optimization and service delivery quality enhancement. Methods A total of 69 occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province that obtained formal accreditation as of April 30, 2024, were sampled, including 3 public institutions and 66 private institutions (comprising 3 formerly Class-A, 28 formerly Class-B, 11 formerly Class-C, and 24 newly certified institutions). Following the Technical Protocol for Quality Monitoring of Occupational Health Technical Service in Zhejiang Province and the Technical Protocol for Proficiency Testing of Occupational Health Detection in Zhejiang Province, a quality assessment task force comprising national and provincial experts was established. Evaluation was conducted across four dimensions: qualification maintenance and compliance, standardization of technical services, authenticity of technical services, and proficiency testing, utilizing a combination of document review, on-site inspections, and technical skill assessments. Results The occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province were predominantly private entities (82.5%), with significant disparities in overall service quality. The pass rates for qualification maintenance and compliance, technical service standardization, technical service authenticity, and the excellence rate for laboratory proficiency testing were 81.5%, 80.7%, 97.3%, and 90.4%, respectively. Regarding qualification maintenance, the pass rates for "environmental conditions" (49.8%, 56.7%) and "instrumentation and equipment" (58.2%、65.6%) were significantly lower for formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions compared to other categories. In terms of technical standardization, "standardized on-site inspections" recorded the lowest pass rate (67.4%), with newly certified institutions at only 48.0%. Regarding technical service authenticity, formerly Class-C institutions exhibited issues such as missing raw chromatograms for blank samples (85.7% pass rate). In laboratory proficiency testing, public and formerly Class-A institutions achieved 100% excellence rates, but the performance of formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions was comparatively weak; specifically, the failure rate for organic analysis in formerly Class-C institutions reached 20%; the failure rate for dust testing items in newly certified institutions was 10.3%. Conclusion The overall quality of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province still requires significant improvement, particularly in basic institutional conditions, the standardization of on-site inspections, and laboratory proficiency in organic and dust analysis. Formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions should be the primary focus of quality management efforts. Differentiated regulatory strategies are recommended, alongside strengthening interim and ex-post supervision to gradually enhance the quality of occupational health technical services across all institutions.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remimazolam premedication on emergence delirium (ED) in children undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. Methods Children aged 3-6 years who underwent tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy with general anesthesia in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University from July 2023 to September 2024 were randomly divided into 0.1 mg/kg remimazolam group (group R1), 0.2 mg/kg remimazolam group group R2) and normal saline group (group P). Three groups were sedated preoperatively with remimazolam 0.1 mg/kg, remimazolam 0.2 mg/kg and normal saline, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of ED. The secondary outcomes included the parental separation anxiety scale (PSAS) score when entering the operating room, the induction compliance checklist (ICC) score at induction, the anesthetic recovery time, the incidence of rescue propofol for ED, the face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability (FLACC) score and the incidence of postoperative pain during the recovery period, the incidence of adverse reactions during the operation and postoperatively, and the incidence of negative postoperative behavioral changes (NPOBCs) at first day, 7th day, 30th day postoperatively. Results A total of 119 children completed the study, including 41 children in group R1, 38 children in group R2, and 40 children ingroup P. The incidence of ED and propofol rescue, the PSAS scores and ICC scores of group R1 and R2 were lower than that of group P (P<0.05), and the above results in group R2 was better than those in group R1 (P<0.05). The FLACC score, the incidence of postoperative pain, and the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups had no difference (P>0.05). The incidence of NPOBCs at 1st day and 7th day postoperatively in group R1 and group R2 was lower than that in group P (P<0.05), but no difference was detected at 30th day postoperatively among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Remimazolam used for preoperative sedation could reduce the incidence of ED in children undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy, and had a positive effect on alleviating the preoperative anxiety and preventing NPOBCs.

Integrated metabolomic and lipidomic profiling,utilizing liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry(LC-HRMS),has emerged as a pivotal strategy for biomarker discovery.However,the inherent polarity disparity between metabolites and lipids complicates simultaneous analysis.To address this,a dual-stationary phase polarity-extended liquid chromatography(PELC)system was developed,which surpassed conventional one-dimensional LC(1D-LC)by enabling comprehensive coverage of both polar and non-polar compounds within a single injection.This system enhanced chromatographic resolution,peak capacity,and throughput while minimizing analytical variability.Extracellular vesicles(EVs),lipid bilayer-enclosed nanoparticles ubiquitously present in biofluids,had gained prominence as reservoirs of cancer biomarkers due to their cargo stability and pathophysiological relevance.Herein,the application of PELC-HRMS for concurrent metabolome-lipidome profiling in EVs was pioneered.A total of 193 metabolites were identified using this technique coupled with MS-DIAL software and Human Metabolome Database.Subsequently,this technique was employed to explore potential biomarkers for prostate cancer(PCa).Multivariate analysis identified 17 differentially abundant metabolites in PCa,implicating dysregulated pathways including purine metabolism,starch and sucrose metabolism,galactose metabolism,cysteine and methionine metabolism,and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids.Notably,creatine(AUC=0.92)and DG 42:5(AUC=0.80)demonstrated robust diagnostic efficacy,attributable to their broad polarity ranges and EV-specific enrichment.This study established PELC as a high-fidelity platform for multi-omics integration in complex biospecimens,advancing mechanistic insights into metabolic rewiring and disease pathophysiology.

Objective To explore the mechanism of myocardial toxicity caused by N-methyl-3,4-methyle-nedioxyamphetamine(MDMA),the changes of intracellular calcium oscillation mode and calcium han-dling proteins during acute exposure to different concentrations of MDMA were detected,and the in-volvement of nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)and its effect on calcium handling proteins were investigated.Methods Primary rat cardiomyocytes were cultured to establish MDMA acute exposure model,and a control group was set up.The MDMA poisoning model was divided into three concentration groups of 10,100 and 1 000 μmol/L.After 1 h of exposure,the morphological changes of cardiomyocytes were ob-served,the cytotoxicity and changes in calcium signals were measured,and the changes in calcium handling proteins RyR2,SERCA2a,PLN,NCX1 and Cav1.2 were detected.The changes of NF-κB activity and the expression of nucleoprotein p-p65(Ser311)and PKCζ after MDMA exposure,and the intervention of NF-κB inhibitors pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate ammonium(PDTC)and protein kinase C(PKC)inhibitor chelerythrine(CHE)were detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA)and Western blotting.The effects of PDTC intervention on calcium signals,and the expressions of RyR2,SERCA2a,PLN,NCX1 and Cav1.2 after acute MDMA exposure were also observed.Results No obvious changes were observed in the morphology of cardiomyocytes after acute exposure to MDMA,whereas the oscillation waveform of intracytoplasmic calcium ion showed irregular changes with increased oscillation amplitude,intense fluctuations,irregular frequency,and increased fluctuation range of relative optical density values.The expression of RyR2,SERCA2a and NCX1 increased,while the expression of Cav1.2 and PLN de-creased.Acute MDMA exposure could increase NF-κB activity,while PDTC and CHE intervention could inhibit NF-κB activity.In MDMA exposed group,the expression of PKCζ and nucleoprotein p-p65(Ser311)both increased and could be inhibited by CHE.After the intervention of PDTC to block NF-κB,the amplitude of calcium oscillation was lower than that of the MDMA exposed group,and the expres-sion of RyR2,SERCA2a and NCX1 decreased.There was no significant change in PLN,while the ex-pression of Cav1.2 increased.Conclusion MDMA can lead to an increase of calcium ion concentration in cardiomyocytes.Calcium ions are involved in myocardial toxicity of MDMA.The mechanism is re-lated to changes in calcium handling proteins,mainly associated with the increased expression of RyR2.MDMA can up-regulate the intracellular activity of NF-κB through the PKCζ-NF-κB pathway and affect calcium handling proteins,which aggravate intracellular calcium overload during acute MDMA exposure.

OBJECTIVE:
miR-34c-3p is down-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The biological role of miR-34c-3p in NPC and its underlying mechanisms are unknown and were explored in this study.
METHODS:
Flow cytometry and immunohistochemical staining were employed to detect cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86) and cluster of differentiation 206 (CD206) expression; quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting were employed to examine mRNA expression and protein levels; cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and transwell assays were employed to assess cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was employed to assess pathological changes in tumor tissues.
RESULTS:
Our results revealed that the miR-34c-3p mimic markedly inhibited M2 polarization of macrophages by targeting SLC7A11, and M2 macrophages transfected with the miR-34c-3p mimic inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NPC cells. The in vivo experiments further confirmed that miR-34c-3p mimics blocked tumor growth and reduced inflammatory infiltration in tumor tissues.
CONCLUSION
This study provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of NPC and a new treatment strategy.

Objective:To evaluate a transhiatal tunnel flap designed to reconstruct the cardiac functional structure in proximal gastric cancer patients in our center.Methods:A descriptive case study method was used to select the data of 11 patients undergoing surgery for upper gastric cancer from Jan to Jul 2024. After laparoscopic dissection is completed, the esophagus is transected 2 cm from the upper edge of the tumor and the specimen is removed. The distance from the lower edge of the tumor is 5 cm. The cutting width is 4 cm, and the length of sleeve distal stump stomach is 20 cm. A seromuscular flap tunnel was made with a length of 2 cm and a width of 2 cm, 2 cm away from the top of the remnant stomach. The digestive tract was reconstructed using the Overlap hybridization method.Results:The median operation time was 175 (139-285) minutes. The median muscle flap production time and reconstruction time was 10.5 (5.5-21.0) minutes and 15.0 (11.8-33.6) minutes, respectively. The median blood loss is 50 (20-100) ml. The median postoperative hospitalization was 8 (6-25) days. The median tumor size was 2.5 (1.0-4.0) cm, and 31 (15-52) lymph nodes were dissected. The median follow-up after surgery was 3.5 (0.7-6.0) months, and no tumor recurrence or metastasis was found. Postoperative anastomotic leakage (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ) occurred in one case, and there was no perioperative death. The Visick score of the whole group was 1 point in 8 cases and 2 points in 3 cases, and there was no anastomotic stenosis. Reflux esophagitis (Los Angeles classification grade B) was found in 1 case after gastroscopy, and the symptoms were relieved by conservative treatment.Conclusion:The transhiatal tunnel flap arthroplasty method has high surgical safety, low reconstruction difficulty, and an reliable anti-reflux effect.

Objective:To clarify the role of concentrated growth factors(CGF)in the treatment of periodontal cement defects using calcium phosphate cement(CPC)with self-curing properties.Methods:Thirty-six intrabony defects were randomly divided into two groups.The experimental group received CGF+CPC treatment(n=18),while the control group received CPC treatment alone(n=18).The probing depth,clinical attachment loss,and hard tissue filling as measured by cone beam CT(CBCT)were evaluated at baseline and 1 year postoperatively in both groups,and the levels of major growth factors in CGF and serum were compared[platelet-derived growth factor-BB(PDGF-BB),transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)].Results:At baseline,there were no statistically significant differences in probing depth,clinical attach-ment loss and CBCT measurements between the two groups(P>0.05).At 1 year postoperatively,sig-nificant improvements were observed in parameters mentioned above in both groups(P<0.05).The CGF+CPC group seemed more effective compared with the CPC group in reduction of probing depth[(4.5±1.3)mm vs.(3.2±1.1)mm]and clinical attachment gain[(3.8±0.9)mm vs.(2.0±0.5)mm,P<0.05].Compared with the group treated with CPC alone,the hard tissue filling degree shown by CBCT in the CGF+CPC group was significantly increased[the reduction of the depth of the in-trabony defects was(3.9±1.2)mm vs.(2.1±0.7)mm,respectively,P<0.01].At 1 year post-operatively,the volume of the intrabony defects shown by CBCT in the CGF+CPC group was reduced by(0.031 8±0.004 1)mL,which was significantly more than that in the CPC group[(0.019 7±0.001 2)mL,P<0.05].In addition,the concentration of the main growth factors(PDGF-BB,TGF-β1,IGF-1,and VEGF)in CGF were higher than those in serum(P<0.001).Conclusion:After 1 year of follow-up,the results of the present study indicated that CGF could significantly improve the clinical and radio-logical effects of CPC on the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects.
