Background Prolonged vibration exposure can lead to vascular endothelial cell dysfunction and cellular injury. However, research on the association between vibration and ferroptosis in vascular endothelial cells remains insufficient. Objective To explore whether occupational vibration exposure is associated with alterations in serum markers related to ferroptosis in patients with hand-arm vibration disease (HAVD), and to further investigate, through in vitro cell experiments, whether vibration exposure may induce ferroptosis in vascular endothelial cells. Methods ①A judgmental sampling method was employed to select 50 workers with HAVD (the HAVD group), 50 vibration-exposed workers without HAVD (the vibration exposure group), and 50 non–hand-transmitted vibration-exposed workers (the control group). Serum iron levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were measured using serum iron assay kits, MDA detection kits, and SOD detection kits, respectively. One-way analysis of variance and binary logistic regression analysis were performed to examine the relationships between these indicators and HAVD. ②Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were divided into a vibration group and a control group. The vibration group was subjected to vibration at 120 Hz with an acceleration of 6.5 m·s⁻² and further subdivided into four subgroups: 1 d 2 h, 1 d 4 h, 2 d 2 h, and 2 d 4 h. The control group was treated identically except for vibration exposure. Cellular iron (Fe²⁺) content and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in HUVEC were measured using ferrous iron colorimetric assay kits and GSH colorimetric assay kits, respectively, to assess the effects of different vibration exposure schedules. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to detect the mRNA expression levels of ferroptosis-related genes, including acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), tumor suppressor protein P53 (P53), ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the protein expression levels of ferroptosis-related markers in HUVEC. Results ①Compared with the control group, the patients in the HAVD group showed increased serum iron and MDA levels, along with decreased SOD levels (P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated serum iron levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of HAVD (OR=4.034; 95%CI: 2.063, 7.887), and elevated MDA levels were also associated with an increased risk of HAVD (OR=1.523; 95%CI: 1.026, 1.936). ②Compared with the control group, increased intracellular Fe²⁺ content and decreased GSH content were observed in HUVECs in the 1 d 4 h and 2 d 4 h vibration subgroups (P<0.05). The RT-qPCR results showed that, compared with the control group, vibration exposures of 1 d 4 h and 2 d 4 h significantly upregulated the expression of ACSL4 and P53 (P<0.05), whereas the mRNA expression levels of GPX4 and FTH1 were downregulated in all vibration-exposed endothelial cells (P<0.05). The Western blot results revealed that, compared with the control group, the vibration exposure schedules of 1 d 2 h and 1 d 4 h significantly upregulated the protein expression levels of ACSL4 and P53 (P<0.05), while the vibration exposure schedules of 1 d 4 h, 2 d 2 h, and 2 d 4 h significantly downregulated the protein expression levels of FTH1 and GPX4 (P<0.05). Conclusion Occupational vibration exposure is associated with alterations in iron metabolism and oxidative stress status in workers with HAVD. The in vitro experiments further demonstrates that vibration stimulation induces intracellular iron accumulation and reduces antioxidant capacity in vascular endothelial cells, accompanied by dysregulated expression of ferroptosis-related molecules. These findings suggest that ferroptosis may play a role in vibration-induced vascular injury and the pathogenesis of HAVD.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between interleukin-10, albumin levels and short-term prognosis in patients with acute lung injury.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to collect data on 150 patients with acute lung injury admitted to the Fourth People′s Hospital of Longgang District, Shenzhen from January 2021 to December 2023. The short-term prognosis was evaluated based on the mortality rate within 28 d of admission, and the patients were divided into a mortality group 53 cases and a survival group 97 cases. General information, levels of interleukin-10 and albumin within 24 h of admission, and other laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups, with a focus on analyzing the correlation between interleukin-10, albumin levels and the short-term prognosis of patients.Results:Murray lung injury score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-10 in the mortality group were higher than those in the survival group: (2.27 ± 0.36) scores vs. (1.98 ± 0.28) scores, (22.72 ± 3.27) scores vs. (19.85 ± 3.12) scores, (106.27 ± 14.22) mg/L vs. (93.22 ± 15.27) mg/L, (51.75 ± 8.12) ng/L vs. (46.27 ± 9.47) ng/L, the levels of platelet and albumin were lower than those in the survival group: (186.67 ± 23.11) ×10 9/L vs. (203.25 ± 25.36) ×10 9/L, (27.86 ± 4.75) g/L vs. (32.21 ± 5.61) g/L, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the mortality risk of patients with acute lung injury was related to Murray lung injury score, APACHEⅡ score, platelet, C-reactive protein, interleukin-10 and albumin levels at admission ( P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis and interaction testing found that the mortality risk of patients with acute lung injury showed a non-linear dose-response relationship with serum interleukin-10 and albumin levels ( P<0.05), and the two had a negative interaction with the mortality risk of patients. The interleukin-10, albumin-assisted Murray lung injury score, APACHE Ⅱ score, platelet and C-reactive protein were used to construct a nomogram prediction model, and the decision curve and nomogram measurement model were drawn. The model has certain predictive value for the short-term risk of death in patients with acute lung injury. Conclusions:The short-term mortality risk in patients with acute lung injury may be related to abnormal levels of interleukin-10 and albumin, which can assist in the early screening of high-risk mortality patients and serve as clinical intervention targets.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the association between metabolic factors and high-risk colorectal adenoma(CRA).Methods The medical records of patients aged 18-75 years who underwent their initial colonoscopy at Karamay Central Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from Jul 2000 to Mar 2017 were collected.The comparison between normal colonoscopy(NC)and high-risk CRA patients was conducted using an unpaired t-test,while chi-square test was used for categorical variables.Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression and Logistic regression were utilized to analyze the association between metabolic factors and high-risk CRA.Results A total of 1 798 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled and divided into normal colonoscopy(NC)findings group(n=972)and high-risk CRA group(n=826).The high-risk CRA group exhibited significantly lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)in comparison to the NC group,while uric acid and fibrosis 4(FIB-4)index levels were significantly higher than those observed in the NC group(all P<0.05).Based on LASSO regression analysis,we identified 12 variables that potentially influence the occurrence of high-risk CRA,including age,gender,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),hypertension,coronary artery disease,hyperglycemia,hypercholesterolemia,low levels of HDL-C,elevated alanine aminotransferase,and elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase.Multivariate analysis revealed that individuals aged over 50 years,male gender,cigarette and alcohol consumption,low HDL-C levels,history of NAFLD and hypertension were identified as independent risk factors associated with high-risk CRA(P<0.05).In addition,without or with adjusting for age,sex,smoking,and drinking history,patients with a high TG/HDL-C ratio(the ratio≥2.68)had a significantly higher risk of high-risk CRA than those with a low TG/HDL-C ratio(the ratio<2.68)[odds ratios(ORs)were1.430 and 1.235 respectively,all P<0.05)].Without or with adjusting variables,the ORs for NAFLD patients with FIB-4 index>2.67 were 1.849(P=0.466)and 1.435(P=0.707),respectively.Conclusion A significant association exists between metabolic factors and high-risk CRA.Independent risk factors for high-risk CRA include older age(≥50 years),male,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,low levels of HDL-C,and a history of NAFLD and hypertension.Individuals exhibiting a TG/HDL-C ratio exceeding 2.68 manifest a significantly heightened susceptibility to the development of high-risk CRA.Therefore,elderly males with one or more aforementioned metabolic abnormalities should be considered a priority population for colorectal screening.

Objective:To explore the factors influencing ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses.Methods:Using purposive sampling, 15 oncology nurses from 13 tertiary general hospitals in Foshan, Guangdong Province were selected as research participants from July to September 2023. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, and Colaizzi's seven-step content analysis method was applied to organize and analyze the collected data.Results:A total of 4 themes were summarized: insufficient clinical experience and knowledge reserve; lack of ethical education and management system processes; high-pressure working environment and communication barriers; and the constraints of the cultural concept of "valuing life over death".Conclusions:Oncology nurses have insufficient ethical sensitivity. Nursing managers should establish a systematic ethical education system, improve ethical management systems, optimize the clinical working environment, and integrate cultural sensitivity education to jointly enhance nurses' communication skills. Attention should also be paid to the inheritance of clinical experience from senior nurses, so as to improve the ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses in a multidimensional way.
