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: To establish a supply model for RhD-negative red blood cells that meets the clinical blood safety needs of Beijing, and to systematically address the challenges of timeliness and safety in rare blood type supply. Methods: Data on the distribution of RhD-negative red blood cells from 2021 to 2025 were retrieved from the management information system of Beijing Red Cross Blood Center. A retrospective analysis was conducted on supply-demand characteristics, blood type distribution, quarterly fluctuations and key difficulties. On this basis, a hierarchical supply mechanism covering demand assessment, appointment response, overall inventory planning and regional coordination was constructed and continuously optimized in practice. Results: A total of 15 295 units of RhD-negative red blood cells were distributed in the past five years, with an A∶B∶O∶AB ratio of approximately 3∶3∶3∶1. Quarterly demand for each blood type fluctuated significantly. Following the implementation of the hierarchical supply mechanism, the supply of RhDnegative red blood cells remained stable and orderly. The response time for massive emergency blood demand was significantly improved, and the fulfillment rate of non-emergency appointment demand remained high. Zero RhD conversion and zero blood wastage of RhD-negative red blood cells were achieved during the blood support for major events. Conclusion: The Beijing model effectively addresses the difficulties and risks associated with RhD-negative red blood cell supply in megacities with highly concentrated high-quality medical resources and provides a replicable practical reference for other major cities.

Objective:To study the feasibility of design and harvest of free medial sural artery perforator flap with the "two-point and two-line method".Methods:From September 2022 to June 2023, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital implemented the "two-point and two-line method" to guide preoperative perforator positioning and flap design. Thirty medial sural artery perforator flaps were successfully harvested with the method, and 21 wounds of hand and 9 of foot and ankle were reconstructed with the flaps. The size of soft tissue defects were 2.5 cm×2.5 cm-7.0 cm×14.5 cm, and the flaps size were 3.0 cm×3.0 cm-7.5 cm×15.0 cm. All donor sites were directly closed or by skin grafting. All patients were entered in 6-15 months of postoperative outpatient follow-up, and the recovery of donor and recipient sites was assessed by the comprehensive evaluation scales. The sensory function of the flaps was evaluated using the sensory function evaluation standard of British Medical Research Council (BMRC).Results:All perforators were successfully located with 47 perforators in total, and all of them were musculocutaneous perforator. It was found that there was 1 perforator in 14 flaps, 2 perforators in 15 flaps and 3 perforators in 1 flap. All 30 flaps survived after surgery, beside 2 flaps that had arterial insufficiency but survived successfully after surgical exploration. All donor sites healed in one stage. Comprehensive evaluation scale of flap was employed to evaluate the flaps and the scores were 84 points to 96 points with an average score of 92.5 points. The excellent and good grades were achieved in 27 flaps and 3 flaps, respectively, with a combined excellent and good rate at 100%. Sensation of the flaps was evaluated by BMRC with 1 flap of S 1, 17 of S 2 and 12 of S 3. Conclusion:The "two-point and two-line method" has been used in design of the perforator flap of medial sural artery. This method is simple and accurate, and is feasible and ideal in design of flaps before surgery.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the associations between Tau protein deposition and brain biochemical metabolites detected by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease (AD).
METHODS:
From April, 2022 to December, 2024, 64 Tau-positive AD patients and 29 healthy individuals underwent 18F-APN-1607 PET/MR and simultaneously acquired multi-voxel 1H-MRS in the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Nanjing First Hospital. Visual analysis and voxel-based analysis of PET/MR data were performed to investigate the Tau protein deposition patterns in AD patients. Valid voxels within the 1H-MRS field of view were selected, and their standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr) in PET and metabolite levels of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), creatine (Cr), NAA/Cr, and Cho/Cr were recorded. The Tau-positive (Tau+) voxels and Tau-negative (Tau-) voxels of the AD patients were compared for PET and 1H-MRS parameters, and the correlations between the metabolites and Tau PET SUVr within Tau+ voxels were analyzed.
RESULTS:
Significant Tau protein deposition were observed in the AD patients, involving mainly the bilateral frontal lobes (30.07%), parietal lobes (29.96%), temporal lobes (21.07%), and occipital lobes (15.89%). A total of 1422 valid voxels in AD group (including 994 Tau+ and 428 Tau- voxels) and 814 voxels in the control group were selected. The AD patients showed significantly decreased NAA level and increased SUVr compared with the control group (P<0.05). Subgroup analyses revealed that Tau+ voxels had higher SUVr and lower Cr and Cho/Cr than Tau- voxels (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, Tau+ voxels exhibited higher SUVr and lower Cr (P<0.05), while Tau- voxels showed lower NAA (P=0.004). No significant differences were found in Cho or NAA/Cr among the subgroups (P>0.05). Within Tau+ voxels, NAA, Cho, and Cr were negatively correlated with SUVr (P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
The patients with progressive AD have significant Tau protein deposition in the brain, which is correlated with alterations in metabolite levels. Decreased NAA is more prominent in early or pre-tau deposition stages, while Cr changes is more significant in the regions with Tau protein deposition, suggesting the potential of NAA and Cr as biomarkers for Tau protein deposition in AD for disease monitoring and treatment evaluation.
