Objective To analyze the characteristics of hearing loss at different frequencies among noise-exposed workers in a lithium battery manufacturing enterprise. Methods A total of 1 954 noise-exposed workers from a large lithium battery manufacturing enterprise were selected as the study subjects using the judgmental sampling method. Pure-tone audiometry, individual noise exposure level monitoring, and workplace noise intensity measurement were conducted. Results The overall detection rate of hearing loss among the study subjects was 39.0%. The detection rates of unilateral and bilateral hearing loss were 21.0% (410/1 954) and 18.0% (352/1 954), respectively. The detection rate of hearing loss in the right ear was higher than that in the left ear (30.1% vs 26.9%, P<0.05). The detection rates of elevated hearing thresholds at high frequencies and speech frequencies were 38.8% and 1.1%, respectively. Comparisons of the detection rates of elevated hearing thresholds across different frequencies between the left and right ears showed significant differences (all P<0.01); specifically, the detection rate at 4.0 kHz in the right ear was higher than that in the left ear (P<0.01). The detection rates of elevated hearing thresholds at 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 kHz increased with longer duration of noise exposure (all P<0.05). Except at 1.0 kHz, the detection rates of elevated hearing thresholds at 0.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 6.0 kHz showed increasing trends with age (all P<0.05). Conclusion Hearing loss among noise-exposed workers in the lithium battery manufacturing industry is predominant in the high-frequency type, with the highest sensitivity at 4.0 kHz and greater susceptibility in the right ear. The detection rate of high frequency hearing loss increases with longer noise exposure duration and advacing age. Health surveillance should focus on workers with longer noise exposure duration and older age. Noise control measures should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the status quo of indwelling needles use in the hospitals at all lev-els in Chongqing city,and to evaluate the normalization and safety of indwelling needles use by referring to Nursing Practice Standards for Intravenous Therapy.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used in July 2023 to conduct a cross-sectional survey on the use of indwelling needles in the hospitals at all levels in Chongqing city.Results A total of 30 807 patients in 77 hospitals were included,among them 62.67%used indwelling needles.The closed type indwelling needles accounted for 88.87%and the safety type indwelling needles accounted for 41.74%.Non-needle infusion connectors accounted for 37.78%,and steel needle con-nected with heparin caps accounted for 51.69%.95.66%of puncture site was in the upper limb,the non-cor-rosive drug infusion accounted for 87.57%,and the complications occurrence rate was 2.46%.Among the 6 419 surveyed nurses,75.51%removed indwelling needles based on clinical indications.There were statistically significant differences in the usage rates of closed type indwelling needles and non-needle infusion connectors among hospitals at different levels(P<0.05).There were also statistically significant differences in the inci-dence rates of complication and phlebitis(P<0.05).Conclusion The overall application of indwelling needles in the hospitals at all levels in Chongqing city is generally standardized,but the use of safety type indwelling needles and needle-free infusion connectors still needs to be improved.

Objective:To summarise the main points of operation during thyroid surgery using bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) with a domestic robot and to analyse the learning curve.Methods:From May. 2023 to Oct. 2023, we retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 38 patients who underwent thyroid surgery with domestically manufactured robot via BABA attending the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the 960th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force, proposed and constructed learning curves using cumulative and analytical methods to study the minimum number of learning cases required for the loading time of assistants and surgeon-in-charge with da Vinci surgical experience to transition from the initial learning stage to the proficiency stage. The age, BMI, surgical time (loading time, operating time), postoperative drainage time, and number of lymph nodes dissected were compared among patients at different stages of the learning curve.Results:A total of 38 thyroidectomy patients successfully underwent surgery, with an average surgical time of (176.61 ± 47.98) minutes. After 18 cases, the assistant's loading time shortened and stabilized at (42.20 ± 3.44) minutes. The operator reached peak proficiency at the 18th case (loading time, operating time), which was considered the dividing point between the learning phase and the proficiency phase. During the learning phase, the average surgical time was (209.72 ± 49.28) minutes, operation time: (165.44 ± 49.93) minutes, while in the proficiency phase, the average surgical time decreased to 146.80 ± 18.34 minutes, operation time: (104.60 ± 19.01) minutes. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics such as age, BMI, postoperative drainage time, or the number of central compartment lymph nodes dissected between the two phases ( P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Over the results of this study, it was shown that for robosurgeons with experience in da Vinci robotic surgery, the transition from the learning stage to the proficiency stage could be considered after crossing the learning curve for 18 cases, and that assistants could become proficient in loading techniques after 18 procedures.

Lens injury is an important etiological factor in the reduction of visual function following ocular trauma.Currently, there are no clear standards for the classification of lens injury, and comprehensive diagnostic tools are lacking.This deficiency leads to numerous controversies and challenges in critical areas, such as diagnosis and preoperative evalution, timing of surgery, surgical strategy, and assessment of postoperative prognosis.Tomographic imaging technology, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical coherence tomography, has introduced a new dimension to the evaluation of lens injury, which is crucial for assessing the transparency, texture, location, morphology, and integrity of the lens, as well as the zonules and nearby intraocular structures.However, the use of tomographic imaging technology is somewhat limited due to the limitations of relying on a single method.With the ongoing advancement of imaging technologies and the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence, tomographic imaging will become an increasingly essential tool in the future management of lens injury.Our expert group reviewed the epidemiological characteristics and classification of lens injury and the major challenges currently faced in the diagnosis and treatment of lens injury, and provided expert recommendations mainly focusing on the application, shortcomings and limitations of current tomographic imaging technology in the diagnosis and treatment of lens injury, and future development directions.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1(TRPV1) channel is a non-selective ligand-gated cationic channel with multiple activation mechanisms in the transient receptor potential subfamily. In recent years, a large number of studies have found that TRPV1 plays an important role in the field of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. With the in-depth study of traditional Chinese medicine, it has been found that Chinese medicine monomers and their active components can activate or inhibit TRPV1 channels, which has certain potential in the study of cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, the role of TRPV1 channel in cardiovascular diseases and the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases based on TRPV1 channel are reviewed, in order to provide new ideas for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular system diseases.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of pseudomonas aeruginosa Injection (PAI) in the treatment of coeliac leakage after cervical lymph node dissection for robotic thyroid cancer.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 1262 patients who underwent robotic thyroid surgery at the 960th Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army from Jan. 2021 to Aug. 2023 was made. Postoperative celiac leakage happened in 28 patients. The control and injection groups were divided according to whether pseudomonas aeruginosa injection was used or not. In the control group, there were 4 males and 11 females out of 15 patients, with an average age of (46.20±9.02) years old, and the treatment methods of low-fat diet, negative pressure suction, and pressure bandage were used. In the injection group, there were 7 males and 6 females among 13 patients, with an average age of (41.00±8.87) years. They were treated with low-fat diet, negative pressure suction, pressure bandage, and PAI .The number of lymph node dissection, total drainage volume, peak drainage volume, days of hospitalization and the rate of decline in drainage volume within 24 h after the use of PAI in the injection group, post-injection temperature, number of injections, and post-injection extubation time were statistically analyzed in both groups. Independent samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test were used for comparison between groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, extent of thyroidectomy, highest daily drainage volume, and total drainage volume between the two groups ( P>0.05). The difference in the number of lymph node dissection (49.15±23.05 vs. 30.80±11.76, P=0.012) and hospitalization time (11.77±4.64 vs. 16.40±6.42, P=0.041) between the injection group and the control group was statistically significant. After the use of pseudomonas aeruginosa injection, the draining fluid decreased from the previous day (69.56± 20.82) % in the injection group; Twelve patients were successfully extubated after one injection of pseudomonas aeruginosa injection, and one patient was successfully extubated after two injections; the mean time to extubation after injection was (3.85±1.28) days; 76.9% patients (10/13) had fever symptoms within 48 h with body temperature (38.05±0.89) ℃ after injection, body temperature returned to normal after symptomatic treatment,and no other adverse reactions occurred except fever. Conclusion:Pseudomonas aeruginosa injection is safe and effective in the treatment of celiac leakage after cervical lymph node dissection for robotic thyroid cancer, effectively reducing cervical drainage and shortening hospitalization days.
