Work serves as a critical means of obtaining resources, facilitating personal growth, realizing self-worth, and engaging in social interactions. However, work-related diseases pose significant threats to workers’ health and productivity, and impose considerable economic burdens. This article categorized work-related diseases into six major types, including musculoskeletal disorders, mental and behavioral disorders, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, reproductive system diseases, and non-specific respiratory diseases, and summarized their risk factors, assessment methods, policy regulation, and prevention and control measures. Current research in this field predominantly relies on cross-sectional studies, which present limitations in causal inference and potential risks of bias. Future studies should expand sample sizes, optimize research designs, and establish multidimensional evaluation systems to comprehensively assess the health and economic impacts of work-related diseases. It is recommended to enhance the translation of research findings into practice, thereby providing a scientific basis for the occupational health protection system and promoting the well-being and sustainable development of the working population.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy（AIT） remains the only therapeutic approach with the potential to modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis（AR）. Nevertheless, considerable inter-individual variability exists in patients'responses to AIT. To facilitate more reliable assessment of treatment efficacy, the China Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group（CRRCG） convened young and middle-aged nasal experts in China to formulate the present consensus. The recommended subjective outcome measures for AIT comprise symptom scores, medication scores, combined symptom and medication scores, quality-of-life assessments, evaluation of disease control, and assessment of comorbidities. Objective indicators may supplement these measures. Currently available objective approaches include skin prick testing, nasal provocation testing, and allergen exposure chambers. However, these methods remain constrained by practical limitations and are not yet appropriate for routine implementation in clinical efficacy evaluation. In addition, several biomarkers, including sIgE and the sIgE/tIgE ratio, sIgG4, serum IgE-blocking activity, IgA, cytokines and chemokines, as well as immune cell surface molecules and their functional activity, have been shown to have associations with AIT outcomes. While these biomarkers may complement subjective assessments, they are subject to significant limitations. Consequently, large-scale multicenter trials and real-world evidence are required to strengthen the evidence base. The present consensus underscores the necessity of integrating patients'subjective experiences with objective testing throughout the treatment process, thereby providing a more comprehensive and accurate framework for efficacy evaluation. Looking forward, future investigations should prioritize the incorporation of multi-omics data and artificial intelligence methodologies, which hold promise for overcoming current limitations in assessment strategies and for advancing both the standardization and personalization of AIT.

Background and Aims:The completeness of lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer directly affects postoperative patient prognosis.Indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence-guided navigation,as an emerging auxiliary technique,enables real-time visualization of lymphatic drainage pathways and enhances surgical precision.This study was performed to evaluate the impact of ICG fluorescence navigation on lymph node dissection,positive lymph node detection,and patient prognosis during laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 168 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy at Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,51 patients received ICG-guided surgery(ICG group),and 117 underwent conventional surgery(non-ICG group).Perioperative variables,extent of lymph node dissection,positive lymph node detection efficiency,and postoperative survival outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in baseline clinicopathologic characteristics,as well as operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative recovery,and incidence of surgical complications(all P>0.05).The ICG group had a significantly higher mean number of lymph nodes dissected than the non-ICG group(48.62 vs.37.20,P<0.001),with a greater proportion of patients achieving≥30 nodes dissected(92.16％vs.69.23％,P=0.001).Stratified analysis showed a significantly higher number of dissected lymph nodes in the ICG group at D2 stations,the supra-pancreatic region(stations 7,8,9,11),in total gastrectomy,T3-4 stage,and stage Ⅲ patients(all P<0.01).In the ICG group,the number and positivity rate of fluorescent lymph nodes were significantly higher than those of non-fluorescent nodes(30.31 vs.17.36;2.03 vs.0.94,both P<0.05).The diagnostic sensitivity of ICG fluorescence imaging for positive lymph nodes was 68.4％,with a negative predictive value of 94.6％for non-fluorescent nodes.No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of adjuvant therapy,overall survival(HR=0.737,P=0.471),or disease-free survival(HR=0.502,P=0.089).Conclusion:ICG-guided navigation in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer is safe and significantly improves lymph node yield,particularly in the supra-pancreatic region,total gastrectomy,and advanced-stage patients.It also enhances positive node detection.However,no survival benefit has been observed in the short term.Further multicenter studies with long-term follow-up are warranted to confirm its clinical value and optimize intraoperative navigation strategies.

Objective:To investigate the impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy on the safety and efficacy of radical resection in patients with cT3-4NxM0 gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study method was used. The clinicopathological data of 515 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy after neoadjuvant treatment at Second Department of Gastric Surgery,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and Department of Gastric Surgery,Zhangzhou Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from January 2020 to June 2023 were collected. Among them,379 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone(chemotherapy group),and 136 patients received neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy(immunotherapy group). There were 382 males and 133 females,with an age of (58.4±10.9)years(range:26 to 85 years). To reduce the influence of potential confounding factors,a 1∶1 propensity score matching method was adopted,and the clamp value was 0.02. The peri-operative safety,imaging and postoperative pathological tumor regression,and prognosis were compared by independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method between the two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves, and the differences between groups were compared by Log-rank test. Results:After matching, there were 101 patients in each of the chemotherapy group and the immunotherapy group. The baseline data of the patients in the two groups were evenly distributed (all P>0.05). According to the RECIST 1.1 criteria, the complete response rate (11.9% (12/101) vs. 4.0% (4/101)), partial response rate(68.3%(69/101) vs. 53.4%(54/101)), stable disease rate (17.8%(18/101) vs. 39.6%(40/101)) and disease progression rate (2.0%(2/101) vs. 3.0%(3/101)) between the immunotherapy group and the chemotherapy group were no statistical defferences ( χ2=14.374, P=0.002), and objective response rate (80.2%(81/101) vs. 57.4%(58/101), χ2=12.203, P<0.01) in the immunotherapy group was higher than that in the chemotherapy group. The results of postoperative pathological examination showed that the immunotherapy group had a higher complete response rate (16.8%(17/101) vs. 6.9% (7/101), χ2=4.728, P=0.030) and major pathological response rate (42.6%(43/101) vs. 23.8% (24/101), χ2=8.062, P=0.005). For the two groups, the operation time (175.0(76.0)minutes vs. 160.0 (30.0)minutes, Z=-0.059, P=0.953), intraoperative blood loss (110.0 (150.0)ml vs. 100.0 (120.0)ml, Z=-0.370, P=0.712), overall incidence of postoperative complications (20.8%(21/101) vs. 18.8%(19/101), χ2=0.125, P=0.724) and incidence of severe complications (5.0%(5/101) vs. 3.0%(3/101), χ2=0.130, P=0.718) were comparable. The median follow-up time of all patients was 46 months(range: 19 to 61 months). The 3-year overall survival rate (63.2% vs. 54.4%, P=0.035) and progression-free survival rate (59.1% vs. 45.6%, P=0.022) of the immunotherapy group were higher than those of the chemotherapy group. Meanwhile, there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of neoadjuvant-treatment-related adverse events (48.5%(49/101) vs. 40.6% (41/101), χ2=1.283, P=0.411) and the incidence of severe adverse reactions of grade 3 or above (13.9% (14/101) vs. 10.9% (11/101), χ2=0.257, P=0.522) between the two groups. Conclusion:Neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the imaging and postoperative pathological tumor response rates and 3-year survival rate of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer,without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications and neoadjuvant treatment-related adverse event.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of 3D laparoscopic radical gastrec-tomy of gastric cancer.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The clinical data of 90 patients undergoing total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer in Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January to December 2022 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group by the method of random number table. Patients underwent 3D or 2D laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer. Observation indicators: (1) grouping of enrolled patients; (2) intra-operative and postoperative situations; (3) feelings of the major surgeon during the operation. Com-parison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of count data between groups wsa conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the nonparametric test. Results:(1) Group of enrolled patients. A total of 90 patients eligible for total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer were selected. There were 56 males and 34 females, aged (61±7)years. All 90 patients were randomly divided into the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group, with 45 cases in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, history of abdominal surgery, surgical method, tumor site and TNM staging between the two groups ( P>0.05), indicating comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. The operation time of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were (196±12)minutes and (204±14)minutes, respectively. The digestive tract reconstruction time of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were (81±8)minutes and (87±12)minutes, respectively. There were significant differences in operation time and digestive tract reconstruction time between the two groups ( t=-2.85, -2.43, P<0.05). After surgery, 3 cases of the 3D laparoscopic group experienced complications (1 case of abdominal infection, 2 cases of intestinal obstruction), and 8 cases of the 2D laparoscopic group experienced complications (2 cases of anastomotic leakage, 2 cases of abdominal infection, 4 cases of intestinal obstruction). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups ( χ2=2.59, P>0.05). (3) Feelings of the major surgeon during the operation. After surgery, the major surgeon completed a questionnaire survey. The score of image quality perception of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were 4.73±0.08 and 4.46±0.09, respectively. The score of hand-eye coordination experience of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were 4.60±0.09 and 4.55±0.08, respectively. The score of operation comfort of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group were 4.81±0.05 and 4.62±0.08, respectively. The score of eye comfort of the 3D laparoscopic group and the 2D laparoscopic group 4.49±0.07 and 4.68±0.07, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=15.04, 2.57, 13.51, -12.88, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with 2D laparoscopy, 3D laparoscopic radical gastrec-tomy of gastric cancer has shorter operation time and digestive tract reconstruction time, does not increase postoperative complications, and has better feelings of the major surgeon in image quality perception, hand-eye coordination experience and operation comfort.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer in 2020 and the change trend from 2010 to 2020 in cancer registration areas of Gansu Province.[Methods]The data of pancreatic cancer from 2010 to 2020 were collected from cancer registries in Gansu Province.The crude incidence/mortality rate,age-standardized incidence/mortality rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC/ASMRC)and world standard population(ASIRW/ASMRW),0～74 years old cumulative rate and proportion of pancreatic cancer were calculated.Joinpoint 4.7.0 software was used to calculate the average annual percentage change(AAPC)of ASIRC/ASMRC of pancreatic cancer in cancer registration areas of Gansu Province from 2010 to 2020.[Results]In 2020,a total of 838 new cases of pancreatic cancer were reported in the cancer registration areas of Gansu Province,with a crude incidence rate of 6.52/105,ASIRC and ASIRW of 4.03/105 and 4.49/105 respectively,accounting for 2.50％of all malignant tumor incidence.In 2020,702 cases of pan-creatic cancer deaths were reported in the cancer registration areas of Gansu Province,with a crude mortality rate of 5.46/105,ASMRC and ASMRW of 3.25/105 and 3.73/105,respectively,ac-counting for 3.98％of all malignant tumor deaths.From 2010 to 2020,a total of 2 413 cases of pancreatic cancer were reported in cancer registration areas in Gansu Province,accounting for 1.90％of all malignant tumors in the province.The crude incidence rate of pancreatic cancer was 5.28/105,the ASIRC was 4.18/105,the ASIRW was 4.63/105,and the cumulative rate of 0～74 years old was 0.49％.From 2010 to 2020,a total of 1 871 pancreatic cancer deaths were reported in cancer registration areas of Gansu Province,accounting for 2.38％of all malignant tumor deaths in the province.The crude mortality rate was 3.92/105,the ASMRC was 3.09/105,the ASMRW was 3.50/105,and the cumulative rate of 0～74 years old was 0.36％.In terms of sex and region,the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer from 2010 to 2020 in men were higher than those in women,and higher in rural areas than those in urban areas.From 2010 to 2020,the incidence and mortality were at a low level under the age of 44 years old,and increased significantly after 45 years old,reaching a peak in the age group of 80～84 years old.ASIRC showed no significant change from 2010 to 2020 with an AAPC of 0.41 1％(P＞0.05).From 2010 to 2020,the ASMRC showed an significantly increasing trend with an AAPC of 6.515％(P=0.014).[Conclusion]From 2010 to 2020,the ASRIC of pancreatic cancer in Gansu Province showed no significant change,while the ASMRC showed a significantly in-creasing trend.The incidence and mortality rates were higher in men than those in women and higher in rural areas than those in urban areas.Middle-aged and elderly men in rural areas are the key groups of prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer,so targeted prevention and control measures should be carried out.

Objective:To explore the value of dual-layer spectral CT virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) in contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans with reduced contrast medium volume in pediatric tumor patients.Methods:The study is a self-matched case-control study. From January to October 2024, pediatric patients admitted to Shandong Cancer Hospital with abdominal tumors who underwent low contrast dose spectral CT contrast-enhanced scans during follow-up were prospectively included. A total of 47 patients aged (6.2±2.2) years (4-14 years) were enrolled. Usual contrast dose enhanced CT served as the conventional-dose group, while the follow-up low-dose spectral CT scans employed a protocol with half the contrast agent dose (low-dose group). Images were reconstructed as conventional CT images and VMI at 45, 55, and 65 keV. Using muscle as the reference background, differences in CT values and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in the aorta, kidneys, liver, and spleen were compared between the low-dose group and conventional-dose group. Multi-group comparisons were performed using the Friedman test. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons were conducted with Bonferroni correction for P-values. Results:CT values and CNRs for all measured regions progressively increased with decreasing keV levels in spectral CT VMI. Significant overall differences were found in CT values and CNRs for the aorta, kidneys, liver, and spleen among the low-dose group (all VMIs) and the conventional-dose group (all P<0.001). At 65 keV VMI in the low-dose group, both CT values and CNRs (except for the liver CNR) were significantly lower than those in the conventional-dose group (all adjusted P<0.05). At 55 keV VMI in the low-dose group, CT values and CNRs for all regions did not show statistically significant differences compared to the conventional-dose group (all adjusted P>0.05). At 45 keV VMI in the low-dose group, CT values for all structures and CNR for the spleen were significantly higher than those in the conventional-dose group (all adjusted P<0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was found in CNRs for the aorta, kidneys, and liver (adjusted P=1.000, 0.313, and 0.503, respectively). Conclusion:When the contrast dose is halved, spectral CT 45 keV VMI enhances CT attenuation values and CNR in the abdomen of pediatric tumor patients, while 55 keV VMI provides image quality comparable to that of conventional-dose CT.
