Objective To analyze the unexamined items and situations in occupational health examinations of radiation workers, and provide a reference for the revision of occupational health examination standards for radiation workers. Methods A total of 29 630 radiation workers who underwent occupational health examinations at The Third People’s Hospital of Henan Province in 2023 were selected, and the non-examination rates were statistically analyzed according to occupation, gender, and age. Results The overall non-examination rate of non-medical radiation workers was significantly lower than that of the medical radiation workers (P<0.05). The non-examination rate of chest X-rays among medical radiation workers was significantly higher than that of non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05), while no significant differences were found in other items (P>0.05). Gender-stratified analysis showed that the non-examination rate of routine urine tests was higher in females than in males in both medical and non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05). Age-stratified analysis revealed no significant differences in non-examination rates among different age groups in non-medical radiation workers (P>0.05), whereas the chest X-ray non-examination rate was relatively high in medical radiation workers under 30 years old (P<0.05). Conclusion Significant differences were observed in the non-examination rates of occupational health examinations among radiation workers based on occupation, gender, and age. The overall non-examination rate was relatively low in non-medical radiation workers.

Objective To study the changes and management of systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics during anhepatic period in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation without veno-venous bypass.Methods Sixty-eight patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were enrolled in this research. Monitoring and recoding CVP, MAP, CI, HR, MPAP, PAWP PVR, SVR at different time points: preincision, before anhepatic, 5, 30 min of anhepatic, 5, 30, 60 min of neohepatic,ending of operation, 12 h and 24 h after operation. All the patients were divided into three groups according CVP during anhepatic period: group A(CVP <4 mmHg) ,group B(4 mm Hg≤CVP≤6 mmHg) ,group C (CVP>6 mmHg). Besides, calculating the concentration of dopamine, norepinephrine ,epinephrine and the volume of urine during of operation. Results There were different changes during different operation periods. During anhepatic period, HR, PVR and SVR increased, while CVP, CI, MAP, PAP, PAWP decreased(P<0.05). At early neohepatic period, HR decreased and CVP,PAWP, MPAP,CI,PVR SVR increased ,At the beginning of neohepatic period, MAP dacreased or increased quickly, and became steadily after 5 min. Among the three groups, the changes of hemodynamics in group B was slightest,and the concentration of dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine was smallest (P< 0.05 ). Conclusions The systemic and pulmonary emodynamics fluctuated sharply during anhepatic and early neohepatic period. It is important and useful to manage CVP 4 -6 mmHg, MABP ≥ 60 mmHg by infusing liquid and vasoconstrictors,such as dopamine, norepinephrine or epinephrine during anhepatic period.

Objective To discuss the indication,technique,effect,and safety of colonoscopic resection of colorectal submucosal tumor(SMT).Methods A total of 33 patients with SMT,which was diagnosed colonoscopically and pathologically,were treated by endoscopy.The sizes of the tumors were 0.2-2.2 cm in diameter,and 0.2-1.2 cm in the diameter of the roots.After injecting adequate adrenalin saline deeply into the root of SMT,the mass of those,who had negative nonlifting sign,was attracted,snared,and then cut using high frequency electrotome.In 7 cases of smaller SMT,the tumor was gripped.Results No perforation,large amount of hemorrhage,or burns of the colorectal wall was found.Complete resection was achieved(no tumor tissue was detected on the edge or bottom of the SMTs after endoscopic resection,or pathological examination found no tumor tissue after open surgery) in 29 cases,including 18 carcinoids,6 leiomyomas,2 hamartomas,2 lipomas,and 1 neurofibroma.Except 3 patients with leiomyoma were lost,26 of the patients were followed up for a median of 44.5 months(3 months to 12 years and 7 months).No recurrence was found during the follow-up.The 4 carcinoids were resected partially(there were tumor tissues remained on the edge or bottom of the SMTs after endoscopic resection,or the pathological examination after open surgery showed tumors).Two of the 4 were transferred to open surgery(one was followed up for 2 years and 3 months,the other was lost).The other two patients refused operation and received a followed-up of 5 months and 2 years and 4 month respectively.None of the 4 patients had recurrence during follow-up.Conclusions Colonoscopic treatment can be applied to the patients with SMT sized ≤1.2 cm at the root and negative nonlifting sign.The method is safe,effective,and minimal invasion.Pathological examination is recommended after the colonoscopic resection,open surgery is necessary for the partially resected SMTs.

Objective: To compare effects of sulindac, PPAR? activator and PPAR? antagonist on the proliferation and apoptosis of the colonic cancer cells, and to investigate whether sulindac exerts its colonic neoplasm inhibiting activity through pathway of PPAR?. Methods: Cell strain HT-29 of colonic cancer was divided into six groups: the control group, sulindac group, 15d-PGJ2 (PPAR? activator) group, GW9662 (PPAR? antagonist) group, sulindac+GW9662 group and 15d-PGJ2+ GW9662 group. After 24 and 48 hours’culturing, proliferation status of each group was determined by immunocytochemical staining of PCNA, and cell apoptosis status was determined by double staining method of AnnexinV-FITC/PI, examined on flow cytometer. Results: (1) Proliferation status of the colonic cancer cells of each group: 24 and 48 hours after medication, PCNA positive ratios were 33.2%?4.5% and 25.0%?4.7% of the control group, 11.8%?3.7% and 8.6%?1.9% of sulindac group, 11.2%?2.5% and 11.4%?2.1% of 15d-PGJ2 group, 35.3%?4.3% and 26.8%?3.9% of GW9662 group, 16.5%?5.3% and 12.2 %?2.4% of sulindac + GW9662 group, 21.0%?4.8% and 21.5%?4.2% of 15d-PGJ2+GW9662 group. (2) Apoptosis ratio of colonic cancer cells of each group: 24 hours after medication, apoptosis rate of colonic cancer cells was 13.0%?1.0% of the control group, 41.0%? 2.6% of sulindac group, 11.5%?0.6% of 15d-PGJ2 group, 12.4%?0.9% of GW9662 group, 33.6%?2.3% of sulindac+GW9662 group, and 13.0%?1.0% of 15d-PGJ2 + GW9662 group. 48 hours after medication, apoptosis rate was 14.0%?3.4% of the control group, 95.3%?1.5% of sulindac group, 31.5%?2.3% of 15d-PGJ2 group, 13.0%?1.9% of GW9662 group, 86.8%?0.4% of sulindac+GW9662 group, and 12.9%?1.0% of 15d-PGJ2+GW9662 group. Conclusion: Both sulindac and PPAR? activator can inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of colonic cancer cells, and their effects can be antagonized by PPAR? antagonist, which indicates that as a kind of PPAR? ligand, sulindac can inhibit proliferation of colonic cancer cells via activating PPAR?.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the disease activity of ulcerative colitis (UC) and the immunohistochemical distribution of calprotectin in colon mucosa,as well as the levels of calprotectin in fecal. Methods:Monoclonal antibody against calprotectin was used to investigate the distribution of these proteins in colon mucosa from 42 patients with ulcerative colitis and 20 healthy controls. ELISA assay was used to measure the concentrations of calprotectin in fecal. The disease activity of UC was determined by Truelove-Witts histological criteria. Results: Calprotectin was demonstrated in the majority of granulocytes and macrophages in colon mucosa of patients with active UC, while negative in patients with unactive UC and healthy controls. A strong calprotectin immunoreactivity was presented in ulcerative and erosion lesions in the colon. The concentration of calprotectin was significantly higher in patients with active UC than that with unactive UC and healthy controls (P

Objective: To investigate the chemopreventive effects of pioglitazone (exogenous PPAR? ligand) on rat colon aberrant crypt foci, a rat carcinogenesis model induced by dimethylhydrazine (DMH),and to compare pioglitazone with sulindac (a NSAID). Methods: Thirty two, 8 week old, female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups ( n =8 each). Group 1 rats were injected with DMH alone (120 mg?kg -1 , single subcutaneous injection). Group 2 rats were injected with saline alone. Group 3 rats were pre treated with sulindac (320 mg?kg -1 ) for 7 days before DMH initiation. Group 4 rats were treated with pioglitazone (100 mg?kg -1 ). The animals were killed at the end of the experiment (week 5) and the colons were stained with methylene blue. The aberrant crypt foci (ACF) of the colonic mucosa were assessed. Results: In Group 1 rats (DMH only), the average numbers of ACF/colon and AC/colon were (182?93) and (263?198), respectively. In Group 2 (saline group) rats, no ACF were found. In Group 3 (sulindac group) rats, the average numbers of ACF/colon and AC/colon were (91?49) and (140?69), respectively. Both of them were decreased significantly compared with the values in Group 1 ( P

Objective: To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of sulindac on the pathology of colorectal adenomas of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients. Methods: FAP patients were treated with sulindac 400 mg per day. The change of colorectal polyps was assessed every 3 months in the first year. After the significant regression of colorectal polyps was achieved, sulindac was used to maintain the effects. The patients received colonoscopy examination regularly. Biopsies of remnant polyps and other lesions were obtained. The type and dysplasia grade of biopsies were evaluated and compared with baseline. Results: Before the study, 90.8% of adenoma biopsies were tubular, while 9.2% was tubulovillous adenoma. The dysplasia of grades Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 42.1%, 45.6% and 12.3%, respectively. After sulindac treatment, 99.8% of adenoma biopsies were tubular, while 0.2% tubulovillous adenoma. There was significant difference compared with baseline (P

Objective To investigate the features of pit patterns by magnifying endoscopy on neo-plastic colorectal polyps. Methods The materials consisted of 129 polyps in 108 patients. Dye-assisted magnifying endoscopies were used to ascertain the pit patterns of polyps. Results Of 129 polyps, 106 were diagnosed pathologically as neoplastic lesions(adenomas and carcinomas) , in which 10 demonstratedⅡpit pattern with only mild to moderate atypia and no severe atypia; 73 ⅢL pit pattern; 1Ⅲs pit pattern; 7 Ⅳ pit pattern and 15 Ⅴ pit patterns which includes malignant change in 10 cases, and severe atypia in 5 cases. Ten lesions all demonstrated Ⅴ pit pattern were found to be carcinoma (7 mucosal and 2 submucosal and 1 advanced carcinomas). Of 7 mucosal carcinomas,6 showed ⅤA pit pattern,1 , Ⅴ N pit pattern; 2 submuco-sal carcinomas all showed VN pit pattern; 1 advanced carcinoma showed ⅤN pit pattern. Ten lateral sprea-ding tumors were also investigated, their pit patterns under magnifying endoscopy were Ⅲ LⅥor V pit pat-tern among them one case with malignant change. Conclusion The images of pit pattern obtained by magnif-ying endoscopy were essentially concordance to those provided by stereomicroscopy. The differentiation of tu-morous lesion or non-tumorous lesion can be fairly performed under the observation of pit patterns; it gives an important practical significance in diagnosing tumorous lesions.

AIM: To explore whether the administration of rhG-CSF improve the neurological function after focal cerebral ischemia and observe the expression of fibronectin. METHODS: Injection of 10 ?g?kg -1?d -1 rhG-CSF for 5 days was given subcutaneously to rats undergoing middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Neurological severity scores (NSS) test was performed. The expression of fibronectin and Brdu were observed by immunohistochemistry. To visualize the cellular colocalization of Brdu and fibronectin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and fibronectin, double fluorescent staining were used. RESULTS: ① NSS at 7th day, 14th day and 21th day of groups undergoing MCAO treated with rhG-CSF were 4.00?0.89, 3.83?1.17, 3.50?1.38, respectively. NSS at 7th day, 14th day and 21th day of the control groups undergoing MCAO were 5.50?1.38, 5.83?1.47,5.66?1.63, respectively. NSS of the treated groups were significantly lower than that of the control groups (P
