Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of newly diagnosed occupational diseases in Guangdong Province from 2019 to 2023. Methods Data on newly diagnosed occupational diseases reported in Guangdong Province from 2019 to 2023 were collected from the national occupational disease network reporting system. The spectrum of occupational diseases and their distribution by region, industry, and population were analyzed. Results A total of 4 136 newly diagnosed occupational disease cases were reported in Guangdong Province from 2019 to 2023, showing an overall downward trend. Newly diagnosed cases were classified into eight categories and 53 types of occupational diseases. In terms of the number of cases, the top five categories were occupational diseases of the ear, nose, throat and oral cavity;occupational pneumoconiosis and other respiratory diseases; occupational diseases caused by physical factors; occupational chemical poisoning; and occupational tumors, accounting for 98.62% of all cases. The top ten specific disease types were occupational noise-induced deafness, occupational silicosis, occupational other pneumoconiosis, occupational chronic benzene poisoning, occupational heatstroke, occupational hand-arm vibration disease, occupational coal workers′ pneumoconiosis, occupational welders′ pneumoconiosis, occupational tumor (leukemia caused by benzene exposure), and occupational chronic n-hexane poisoning, accounting for 94.85% of all cases. Most of the cases were distributed in the Pearl River Delta region, accounting for 89.19%; as well as manufacturing industry, accounting for 84.89%. Male cases accounted for 87.02%. Most diagnoses occurred in individuals aged >40-60 years, accounting for 74.73%. Conclusion Newly diagnosed occupational diseases in Guangdong Province from 2019 to 2023 showed the following characteristics: concentration of categories and disease types, polarization of regional distribution, industry clustering, and population difference. The disease spectrum is evolving from a dual-disease predominance toward a multi-disease predominance.

Jiegengtang is a basic formula for treating sore throat and cough. By means of bibliometrics， this study conducted a textual research and analysis on the key information such as formula origin， decocting methods， and clinical application of Jiegengtang. After the research， it can be seen that Jiegengtang is firstly contained in Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Disease， which is also known as Ganjietang， and it has been inherited and innovated by medical practitioners of various dynasties in later times. The origins of Chinese medicines in this formula is basically clear， Jiegeng is the dried roots of Platycodon grandiflorum， Gancao is the dried roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza uralensis， the two medicines are selected raw products. The dosage is 27.60 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and 13.80 g of Platycodonis Radix， decocted with 600 mL of water to 200 mL， taken warmly after meals， twice a day， 100 mL for each time. In ancient times， Jiegengtang was mainly used for treating Shaoyin-heat invasion syndrome， with cough and sore throat as its core symptoms. In modern clinical practice， Jiegengtang is mainly used for respiratory diseases such as pharyngitis， esophagitis， tonsillitis and lung abscess， especially for pharyngitis and lung abscess with remarkable efficacy. This paper can provide literature reference basis for the modern clinical application and new drug development of Jiegengtang.

OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) frequently leads to myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction. Even genotype-positive/phenotype-negative (G⁺/P^-) individuals, carriers of pathogenic sarcomere gene mutations without left ventricular hypertrophy, remain at risk of progression to clinical HCM. This study aims to evaluate myocardial perfusion and contractile function in familial HCM patients and their first-degree relatives using myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) and velocity vector imaging (VVI), in order to identify early myocardial dysfunction and at-risk individuals within families. METHODS: Thirty-five genetically confirmed HCM patients with left ventricular hypertrophy were assigned to a G⁺/P⁺ group. A total of 30 first-degree relatives carrying sarcomere mutations but without echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy were assigned to a G⁺/P^- group. A total of 38 age- and sex-matched gene-negative healthy family members served as controls. All participants underwent MCE and VVI assessments. Myocardial perfusion parameters, including peak intensity (PI), time to peak concentration (TP), and the ratio of declining intensity and declining time (dI/dT), as well as strain parameters including global longitudinal strain (GLS), global radial strain (GRS), and global circumferential strain (GCS) were recorded and analyzed for differences and correlations. RESULTS: Compared to both the G⁺/P^- and normal control groups, the G⁺/P⁺ group had significantly lower PI, dI/dT, GLS, and GRS, along with significantly increased TP (all P<0.05). GLS and GRS were positively correlated with PI (r=0.629 and r=0.613, respectively; both P<0.01) and negatively correlated with TP (r=-0.597 and r=-0.571, respectively; both P<0.01). Compared to the normal control group, the G⁺/P^- group showed a significant reduction in GLS (P<0.05), but no significant differences in GRS, GCS, PI, TP, or dI/dT (all P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Myocardial contractile dysfunction in HCM patients is closely related to impaired perfusion. Even in the absence of wall hypertrophy, sarcomere mutation carriers show early signs of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction. MCE and VVI can quantitatively assess myocardial perfusion and function, offering valuable tools for early detection and risk stratification in HCM patients and their relatives.

Objective:To clarify the changes of intrahepatic ultrasound hemodynamics before and after hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) after liver transplantation (LT), providing early warning and anticoagulation guidance to clinicians.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent liver transplantation at Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between June 2006 and October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, 47 patients with a diagnosis of HAT confirmed by DSA (digital subtraction angiography) were included in the HAT group, and 71 patients without vascular complications were included in the non-HAT group. Differences in peak flow velocity (PSV), resistance index (RI), and portal vein velocity (PVV) were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between postoperative PSV decline and HAT occurrence, while ROC curve were used to determine the critical value and evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Patients with HAT were divided into well-treatment group and poor-treatment group according to whether the blood flow was restored after multiple surgeries or thrombolytic treatments. The changes of early intrahepatic hemodynamics after surgical or thrombolytic therapy were compared between the two groups.Results:①A decrease in PSV of the transplanted hepatic artery was measured 1 d before HAT, and PSV<0.39 m/s predicted thrombus formation with a sensitivity of 0.70, specificity of 0.86, and the AUC was 0.83. ②After treatment, PSV in the HAT group increased immediately, approaching the normal level on the 2nd day. In the well-treatment group, PSV and PVV reached normal levels on the first day after treatment, which were significantly higher than the corresponding values in the poor-treatment group ( P=0.030, 0.021). Conclusions:In the early stage after liver transplantation, a PSV<0.39 m/s is related to the occurrence of HAT thrombosis 1 d later. A significant increase in PSV on the first day after treatment indicates a good treatment response, and there is no need for further DSA re-examination or increasing the number of thrombolysis.

Objective:To explore the impacts of thermotherapy combined with gemcitabine on the biological behavior of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells.Methods:Human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells were divided into the control group (blank control), gemcitabine group, thermotherapy group (heated in an incubator at 43℃ for 1 h and then incubated at 37℃ for 24 h) and thermotherapy + gemcitabine group. The proliferation ability of Tca8113 cells was assessed by EdU staining and CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle of Tca8113 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The invasion of Tca8113 cells was determined by Transwell chamber assay. The expression levels of cyclin D1 (CyclinD1), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome 1 (NBS1) proteins in Tca8113 cells were measured by Western blot. The changes of tumor mass and volume were detected by xenograft tumor in vivo test in nude mice. Multi-group comparison was performed by one-way ANOVA. Two group comparison was conducted by SNK- q test. Results:Compared with the control group, EdU positive cell percentage, OD 450 value, invasive cell number, CyclinD1, MMP-9 and NBS1 protein expression of Tca8113 cells were decreased, whereas the apoptosis rate, the expression of Bax and γH2AX proteins were increased in the gemcitabine, thermotherapy and thermotherapy + gemcitabine groups ( q=4.45-72.06, all P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the proportion of G 0/G 1 phase cells was decreased, whereas the proportion of S and G 2/M phase cells was increased in the gemcitabine and thermotherapy + gemcitabine groups, the proportion of G 0/G 1 phase cells was decreased and the proportion of G 2/M phase cells was increased in the hyperthermia group ( q=10.36-61.09, all P<0.001). Compared with the gemcitabine and thermotherapy groups, EdU positive cell percentage, OD 450 value, G 0/G 1 phase cell proportion, invasive cell number, CyclinD1, MMP-9 and NBS1 protein expression of Tca8113 cells were decreased, whereas apoptosis rate, S, G 2/M phase cell proportion, Bax and γH2AX protein expression were increased in the thermotherapy + gemcitabine group ( q=4.45-28.73, all P<0.001). Xenograft tumor in vivo test in nude mice showed that the tumor volume and mass of nude mice in the gemcitabine, thermotherapy, and thermotherapy + gemcitabine groups were decreased compared with those in the control group ( q=5.58-73.02, all P<0.001). Compared with the gemcitabine and thermotherapy groups, the tumor volume and mass in the thermotherapy + gemcitabine group were decreased ( q=5.58-21.45, all P<0.001). Conclusion:The combination of thermotherapy and gemcitabine can inhibit the proliferation and invasion, block the cell cycle, and induce cell apoptosis of Tca8113 cells.
