With the vigorous development of computers and internet, the construction of the information management system for Occupational Health Technical Service (OHTS) institutions in China has achieved impressive progress. But for the management of OHTS institutions, there are relatively few systems that can fully explore and utilize OHTS information. Base on this background, in light of the actual situation of the OHTS institution in Henan Province, an OHTS Information Management System was developed under the Java Spring Boot framework, with a MySQL database and a B/S multi-tier architecture. The platform integrates a vertical three-level network of ″provincial-municipal-county/district″ and a horizontal network involving health commissions, disease prevention and control bureaus, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (occupational disease prevention and treatment institutes), and OHTS institutions. The system includes five core modules: dynamic management of institutional and personnel qualifications, full-process project supervision (including five categories of technical services such as pre-evaluation and control-effectiveness evaluation), multidimensional decision analysis (including eight statistical indicators of institutional distribution, equipment allocation, and occupational hazard factors), rapid generation and automated submission of various reports, and early warning and intelligent supervision. The system has been implemented in 61 OHTS institutions in Henan Province, improving the ″off-site supervision rate″ of supervision department and promoting the standardization and digital transformation of occupational health services.

Objective:
To conduct a scoping review on prognostic prediction models for patients with comorbidity of chronic diseases, and understand modeling methods, predictive factors and predictive effect of the models, so as to provide the reference for prognostic evaluation on patients with comorbidity of chronic diseases.
Methods:
Literature on prognostic prediction models for patients with comorbidity of chronic diseases was collected through SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science published from the time of their establishment to November 1, 2023. The quality of literature was assessed using prediction model risk of bias assessment tool (PROBAST), then modeling methods, predictive factors and predictive effects were reviewed.
Results:
Totally 2 130 publications were retrieved, and nine publications were finally enrolled, with an overall high risk of bias. Thirteen models were involved, with three established using machine learning methods and ten established using logistic regression. The prediction results of four models were death, with main predictive factors being age, gender, body mass index (BMI), Barthel index and pressure ulcers; the prediction results of nine models were rehospitalization, with main predictive factors being age, BMI, hospitalization frequency, duration of hospital stay and hospitalization costs. Eleven models reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), ranging from 0.663 to 0.991 6; two models reported the C-index, ranging from 0.64 to 0.70. Eight models performed internal validation, one model performed external validation, and four models did not reported verification methods.
Conclusions
The prognostic prediction models for patients with comorbidity of chronic diseases are established by logistic regression and machine learning methods with common nursing evaluation indicators, and perform well. Laboratory indicators should be considered to add in the models to further improve the predictive effects.

Background and purpose:Leptomeningeal metastasis is a form of central nervous system metastasis of melanoma.High mobility group A2(HMGA2)has been proven to play an important role in the occurrence and development of various tumors,but its biological functions in leptomeningeal metastatic melanoma cells remain unclear.On the basis of building mouse models of central nervous system metastasis of melanoma,this study investigated the differences in cell migration and cell proliferation among leptomeningeal metastatic melanoma cells,primary site melanoma cells and brain parenchymal metastatic melanoma cells,and further clarified the effects of differentially expressed gene HMGA2 on cell migration and proliferation of leptomeningeal metastatic melanoma cells.Methods:B16 mouse melanoma cells(B16-parental cells,B16-Par)stably expressing tdTomato and luciferase were generated by lentiviral infection.Subsequently,B16 specific brain parenchymal metastatic cells(B16-brain metastatic cells,B16-BrM)and B16 specific leptomeningeal metastatic cells(B16-leptomeningeal metastatic cells,B16-LM)were collected after adaptive screening of metastatic sites in vivo.The differences in migration and proliferation among B16-Par,B16-BrM and B16-LM were assessed by wound healing assay and cell counting kit-8(CCK-8).RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)was used to analyze differential gene expression in B16-Par,B16-BrM and B16-LM,and HMGA2 gene specifically upregulated in B16-LM was screened out.The results were verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RTFQ-PCR)and Western blot.Gene ontology(GO)analysis was performed for genes which were upregulated in B16-LM specifically.siRNA was used to interfere with the expression of HMGA2 gene in B16-LM,and the knock-down effect was verified by RTFQ-PCR and Western blot.The effects of knocking down HMGA2 on cell migration and proliferation were detected by wound healing assay and CCK-8 assay.Using GSE174401 data in Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO),the specificity of HMGA2 gene expression in leptomeningeal metastatic melanoma cells from patients was verified.Results:Compared with Par cells,tumor cells screened by the brain environment were more likely to colonize the central nervous system.B16-LM had stronger migration and proliferation abilities,and upregulated the expression of HMGA2 gene.GO analysis revealed that HMGA2 was associated with many biological processes such as angiogenesis and cell proliferation.When the expression of HMGA2 gene was knocked down,the migration and proliferation of B16-LM could be inhibited.HMGA2 was upregulated in leptomeningeal metastatic melanoma cells from patients.Conclusion:Leptomeningeal metastatic melanoma cells had relatively unique cellular characteristics,which promoted cell migration and proliferation by upregulating HMGA2 gene expression.
