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 compare the short-term efficacy and safety of small-caliber polyvinyl alcohol （PVA） microsphere-based transcatheter arterial chemoembolization （TACE） versus conventional iodized oil emulsion-based TACE in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）.METHODS Clinical data of 146 patients with unresectable HCC who underwent TACE at Gansu Provincial Second People’s Hospital （Affiliated Hospital of Northwest Minzu University） from June 1， 2024， to June 30， 2025， were retrospectively collected. According to the treatment strategy， the patients were divided into the control group （conventional iodized oil emulsion-based TACE， n ＝79） and the observation group （small-caliber PVA microsphere-based TACE， n ＝67）. One-to-one propensity score matching （PSM） was performed， and the matched cohort （62 patients in each group） was used for the primary analysis. The objective response rate （ORR） and disease control rate （DCR） at 1 and 3 months post-treatment， serum levels of tumor markers （alpha-fetoprotein， alpha-fetoprotein lectin-binding fraction L3， and protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-Ⅱ） before treatment and at 1 and 3 months post-treatment， the occurrence of adverse events， progression-free survival （PFS）， and overall survival （OS） were compared between the two groups. Sensitivity and interaction analyses were also performed.RESULTS After PSM， the ORRs in the observation group at 1 and 3 months post-treatment were both 59.7%， and the DCRs were 91.9% and 93.5%， respectively， significantly higher than those in the control group （ORRs： 41.9% and 38.7%； DCRs： 77.4% and 75.8%； P ＜0.05）. At 1 and 3 months post-treatment， the serum levels of tumor markers decreased significantly from baseline in both groups， with significantly lower levels in the observation group than in the control group （ P ＜0.05）. No statistically significant differences were observed in the overall incidence of adverse events or the incidence of grade≥3 adverse events between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. The median PFS was 10.6 months in the control group and 14.3 months in the observation group， with no statistically significant difference [hazard ratio （HR） of 0.69， 95% confidence interval （CI） of 0.44-1.09， P ＝0.111]. During follow-up， 8 and 9 patients died in the control and observation groups， respectively， and the median OS was not reached in either group. The 12-month OS rates were 88.8% and 87.3%， respectively， with no statistically significant difference （HR of 0.88， 95%CI of 0.35-2.24， P ＝0.790）. After adjustment for potential confounding factors in the original cohort， the ORR at 3 months post-treatment remained significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group （adjusted odds ratio of 2.67， 95%CI of 1.28-5.56， P ＝0.009）. Additionally， the interaction between treatment modality and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging had no statistically significant impact on the ORR at 3 months post-treatment （ P ＝0.391）.CONCLUSIONS For patients with unresectable HCC， compared with conventional iodized oil emulsion-based TACE， small-caliber PVA microsphere-based TACE demonstrates superior efficacy in terms of early radiological response and improvement in tumor markers， and the two regimens are comparable in terms of safety.

Gongfa is an essential approach to prevent and treat diseases in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),often used to prevent a disease before it arises.Guided by TCM and modern scientific theories,the Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)Gongfa prescription theory implements the principle,method,prescription,and form in clinical pattern-identified treatment to prescribe the corresponding Tuina Gongfa prescription,i.e.,to prescribe a basic Tuina Gongfa prescription,specifically for a systemic disease,and modify Gongfa forms based on the basic prescription according to different patterns.The Gongfa prescription for pulmonary diseases designs corresponding Gongfa forms from six perspectives:lifting Yang,securing the exterior,opening the orifices,soothing the chest,harmonizing the stomach,and regulating Qi to prevent and treat diseases.The application of the pulmonary Gongfa prescription indicates the potential to apply the Tuina Gongfa prescription theory for the clinical prevention,treatment,and rehabilitation of disorders of other systems,thereby fully realizing the unique role of TCM Gongfa.

Hemodynamic information is important for timely intervention of cardiovascular diseases and improving long-term prognosis.Based on cardiac MR(CMR),hemodynamic force(HDF)analysis could reflect the interaction between blood flow and myocardium,hence early evaluate abnormal hemodynamics and detect mild ventricular dysfunction.The method of CMR HDF and relative research progresses in cardiovascular diseases were reviewed in this article.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical application value of deep inspiration breath-hold SPECT pulmonary perfusion imaging (DBQ).Methods:Twenty-eight patients (15 males, 13 females, age (38±18) years) who had pulmonary diseases and visited China-Japan Friendship Hospital between September 2023 and February 2024 were prospectively included, including 18 pulmonary embolism cases, 5 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases, and 5 pulmonary interstitial fibrosis cases. All patients underwent DBQ, traditional pulmonary perfusion imaging (Q), and low-dose CT (LDCT). The acquisition parameters of DBQ were determined through National Electrical Manufactures Association (NEMA) International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) phantom model research. The radioactive counts, three-dimensional registration error, and heterogeneity of DBQ and Q were compared using paired t test, while the comparison of detection rates for pulmonary embolism lesions was performed using McNemar test. Results:The radioactive counts of DBQ and Q were (3.6±0.6)×10 6 and (4.5±0.7)×10 6( t=2.48, P=0.018), respectively. In 18 patients with pulmonary embolism, compared with Q-LDCT, DBQ-LDCT detected 8 more lesions, thus increasing the detection rare (41 vs 33; χ2=8.69, P=0.004). Among the 28 patients, the registration errors between DBQ and LDCT vs Q and LDCT were (3.1±0.4) vs (8.2±0.8)mm ( t=3.82, P<0.001), respectively. The heterogeneity of DBQ was significantly different from that of Q (0.74±0.15 vs 0.85±0.11; t=2.38, P=0.029). Conclusion:DBQ shows better image quality and diagnostic effect than traditional perfusion imaging.

Objective To observe the value of changes of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)before and after the first interventional treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)for predicting patient's overall survival(OS).Methods Totally 92 HCC patients who underwent the first time TACE or TACE+hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)were retrospectively enrolled.The patients were divided into NLR ratio(NLRR)＜1.29 group(n=54)and≥1.29 group(n=38)based on the ratio of NLR after to before treatment,also ΔNLR＜0.87 group(n=60)and≥0.87 group(n=32)based on the difference of NLR after and before treatment.Clinical data were compared between groups,survival analysis was performed,and the value of NLRR and ΔNLR for predicting OS were analyzed.Results No significant difference of clinical data was found between NLRR＜1.29 and≥1.29 groups,nor between ΔNLR＜0.87 and≥0.87 groups(all P＞0.05).The median OS of 92 patients was 30.90 months,which in NLRR＜1.29 group(55.10 months)was longer than that in NLRR≥1.29 group(22.30 months,P=0.005),while in ΔNLR＜0.87 group(55.10 months)was longer than that in ΔNLR≥0.87 group(14.20 months,P=0.003).Cox regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of tumor≥5 cm,distant metastasis,ascites,NLRR≥1.29 and ΔNLR≥0.87 were all independent risk factors of OS(all P＜0.05).Taken 1.29 and 0.87 as the best cut-off value,respectively,the area under the curve of NLRR and ΔNLR for predicting OS was 0.620 and 0.610,respectively.Conclusion NLRR and ΔNLR were helpful for predicting OS of HCC patient after the first interventional treatment.

Objective:This study aims to explore clinical subtypes of Garden typeⅠfemoral neck fractures and develop corresponding reduction strategies based on the characteristics of the fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 256 patients with Garden type I femoral neck fractures admitted to Tianjin Hospital from January 2015 to January 2018. There were 89 males and 167 females included, with a mean age of 56.5±12.8 years (range, 17-86 years), and with 159 on the left side and 97 on the right side. According to the anteroposterior and lateral X-ray images, the fractures were further classified into two subtypes: 111 cases of Garden type I a (simple abduction without hypsokinesis of the femoral head), characterized by abduction and impaction of the femoral head on anteroposterior images, and no obvious hypsokinesis of the femoral head or only central impaction of the femoral head on lateral images; 145 cases of Garden I b type (femoral head abduction with hypsokinesis), characterized by abduction and impaction of the femoral head on anteroposterior images, and remarkable hypsokinesis on lateral images. The injury mechanism of type I a involved abduction and impaction caused by the violent extension, abduction, and external rotation of the hip joint. Mild flexion and adduction of the hip joint can be used to reduce the abduction and impaction. The injury mechanism of type I b is similar to type Ia in the first stage, but the violence continues to increase and leading to significant hypsokinesis of the femoral head. Reduction was achieved by excessive flexion, adduction, and mild internal rotation, tilting the femoral head backward to facilitate reduction. The surgical strategy were close reduction and cannulated screw fixation (three cannulated screws in an "inverted triangle" arrangement). Postoperatively, anteroposterior and lateral X-rays were taken immediately to assess the quality of reduction, including the Garden index, Lowell "S" curve, and screw placement. During follow-up, fracture healing and complications were recorded, and Harris score was used to evaluate hip joint function at the final follow-up.Results:All patients successfully received operative therapy and were followed up with a mean of 7.1±1.9 years (range, 5-10 years). Garden index showed 91.4%(234/256) achieved anatomical reduction, with an excellent reduction rate of 97.3%(249/256). The excellent rate of the Lowell "S" curve was 97.7%(250/256), and the excellent and good rate for screw insertion was 98.8%(253/256). All patients achieved primary fracture healing without infection, nonunion of fractures, failure of internal fixation, or other complications. Two patitents with Garden I b fractures (0.8%) developed femoral head necrosis due to premature weight-bearing at 9 and 12 months postoperatively, respectively, after fracture healing. However, with strict hip preservation treatment, their symptoms resolved without further progression of necrosis or need for reoperation. At the final follow-up, the mean Harris score was 93.9±4.5 points (range, 81-100 points), with an excellent and good rate of 98.8%(253/256).Conclusions:Garden I femoral neck fractures can be categorized into two subtypes based on their characteristics and injury mechanisms. Adopting corresponding reduction methods according to subtypes can achieve anatomical reduction and favorable early to mid-stage therapeutic outcomes (primary fracture healing and low incidence of femoral head necrosis).
