Objective To investigate the eye lens and hand dose levels of interventional radiology workers in Baoji City, China, and to provide data reference for radiation protection. Methods In two general hospitals, the eye lens and finger doses of 121 interventional radiology workers were monitored between 2021 and 2023. The average annual dose levels and dose distribution were analyzed based on years, job positions, surgical sites, and duties during surgery. Results The average annual dose to the eye lens was 3.36 mSv, with the highest dose of 16.36 mSv. The average annual dose to the fingers was 3.38 mSv, with the highest dose of 17.72 mSv. The average annual dose to the eye lens and fingers decreased from 2021 to 2023. The average annual dose to the eye lens of the interventional surgeons was higher than those of the technicians and nurses, while the average annual dose to the fingers of the interventional surgeons was higher than that of the technicians. The average annual doses to the eye lens and fingers of the first operator were similar to those of the second operator, but both were higher than other personnel involved in the interventional surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There were linear regression relationships between the annual doses to the eye lens and fingers and the effective whole-body dose of the interventional radiology workers. A paired test was conducted on the annual dose to the eye lens and fingers of the interventional workers for different surgical sites. The cardiovascular and peripheral vascular interventional workers had higher average annual doses to the eye lens than to the fingers, the cerebrovascular interventional workers had a higher average annual dose to the fingers than to the eye lens, and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion The annual doses to the eye lens and fingers of the interventional radiology workers in Baoji City were lower than the national limits. However, some workers showed eye lens annual doses close to the new international standard limit (20 mSv). Special attention should be given to interventional physicians, especially the first and second surgeons.

Objective To analyze the mortality characteristics and impact on life expectancy of the major malignant tumors among Juxian residents in 2023.Methods Collect the full cause of death registration data and population data for resi-dents of Juxian in 2023.The mortality,cause eliminated life expectancy,PYLL and other indicators of major malignant tumors were calculated.Results In 2023,the death rate of malignant tumors among registered residence residents in Juxian County ranked second in the total causes of death,with a crude mortality rate of 159.80/100 000 and a standardized mortality rate of 133.75/100 000.The mortality rate of malignant tumors in men was higher than that in women.The mortality rate of malignant tumors increases with age(P＜0.001).The top 5 deaths from malignant tumors are lung cancer,gastric cancer,liver cancer,colorectal cancer,and esophageal cancer.The life expectancy of residents in Juxian County in 2023 is 80.61 years,with an in-crease of 3.71 years after malignant tumor removal;The top 5 malignant tumors with increased life expectancy after removing ma-jor malignant tumors are lung cancer,gastric cancer,liver cancer,colorectal cancer,and esophageal cancer.The potential life loss rate caused by malignant tumors is 22.38 ‰,with an average potential life loss of 15.38 years.Among the main malignant tumors,lung cancer,liver cancer,stomach cancer,colorectal cancer,and leukemia have a higher potential life loss rate,with leukemia having the highest average potential life loss.Conclusion Lung cancer,digestive system cancer,leukemia and breast cancer in women have a greater impact on life expectancy.Targeted measures should be taken to prevent and control lung cancer,liver cancer and other cancers with high life loss rates.

Polyethylene (PE) is widely used due to its excellent properties. However, the improper disposal of PE waste has led to serious environmental pollution. Microbial degradation of PE is a low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient method of homogeneous recycling. The use of microbial degradation technology to treat polyethylene waste has become one of the current research hotspots. As a result, employing microbial degradation technology to address polyethylene waste has become a key focus of current research. A PE-degrading strain ETX1 was screened from waste plastics in a landfill by the enrichment culture method. The strain was identified as Lysinibacillus sp.. After incubating PE powder with the strain for 20 days, a weight loss of 29.41% was observed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that special absorption peaks such as carbonyl and hydroxyl groups appeared, proving that ETX1 had the effect of degrading PE. The degradation effect of this strain was characterized by the weight loss of PE film, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle. The results showed that ETX1 reduced the PE film weight by up to 5.23% within 120 days. The film structure was damaged, with holes formed by erosion on the film surface, and the hydrophilicity was enhanced. Additionally, a stronger carbonyl absorption peak appeared. The discovery of the PE-degrading strain ETX1 not only enriches the resources of PE plastic-degrading strains but also lays a foundation for mining efficient PE-degrading elements, obtaining degrading enzymes, and deciphering related degradation pathways.

Objective:To investigate the current status of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) in China in 2024 and to provide recommendations for ensuring the consistency of PGT-A results.Methods:This study was a nationwide external quality assessment research. The National Center for Clinical Laboratories of the National Health Commission conducted two surveys in June and December 2024, with participation from 31 laboratories across China. During each survey, quality control samples of varying concentrations were distributed: the first survey distributed 6 samples (Batch Nos. 202401-202406) and the second survey distributed 3 samples (Batch Nos. 202431-202433). Participating laboratories were required to submit information including detection platforms, single-cell amplification methods, library construction methods, sequencing instruments, and test results. Collected data were statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel to evaluate laboratories' PGT-A testing capabilities and determine whether results met predefined quality control requirements.Results:All 31 laboratories submitted results for both surveys. In the first survey, 90.3% (28/31) met qualification criteria with a 9.7% failure rate (3/31). For individual batches, pass rates were 90.3% (28/31) for batches 202401-202403 and 100% (31/31) for batches 202404-202406. The second survey achieved 100% (31/31) compliance across all three batches (202431-202433), with each batch maintaining a 100% pass rate.Conclusion:The detection quality of PGT-A in China is generally good, but with differences, and factors such as sample concentration, transportation conditions and detection methods affect the consistency of the results. The study highlights the urgent need for nationwide external quality assessment of PGT-A in China. This will help identify issues in laboratories in a timely manner and ensure the consistency of PGT-A test results.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of intensive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (irTMS) in treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and its impact on cognitive function and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII).Methods:Forty-eight TRD patients were divided into observation group and control group using random number table method, with 24 patients in each group. The observation group was treated with irTMS, and the stimulation site was the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe. The stimulation intensity was 110% of the motor threshold, and the stimulation frequency was 15 Hz. The stimulation interval was 26 s, and 3 000 pulses were stimulated each time. Stimulating 5 times per day, with an interval of 50 min, and continuous treatment for 5 days. The total stimulation amount for 5 days was 75 000 pulses. The control group was treated with pseudo stimulation. Before treatment (T0), 5 days after treatment (T1), and 1 month after treatment (T2), 17-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17) was used to assess depressive mood. Evaluating cognitive function using the Wisconsin card sorting test.A fully automated blood cell analyzer was used to detect platelet count (PLT), neutrophil count (NC), and lymphocyte count (LC), calculate the systemic immune inflammation index (SII), SII=PLT × NC/LC. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0 software. The comparison between two sets of repeated measurement data was performed using repeated measurement analysis of variance.Simple effect analysis was performed if the interaction effect was significant.Pearson analysis was used for correlation testing.Results:The interaction effect between the time and group of HAMD-17 scores was significant ( F=121.784, P<0.05). The results of simple effects analysis showed that the HAMD-17 scores of the observation group at T1 and T2 ((12.07±4.08) and (14.78±4.99), respectively) were lower than those of the control group ((23.78±5.87) and (24.67±7.00), P<0.05). The treatment response rate and remission rate of the observation group at T1 were higher than those of the control group ( χ2=4.090, 7.378, both P<0.05).The treatment response rate and remission rate of the observation group at T2 were higher than those of the control group ( χ2=4.463, 4.547, both P<0.05). The time and group interaction effects of the percentage of correct response and conceptualization level in the Wisconsin card sorting test were significant ( F=30.087, 20.004, P<0.05). The results of simple effects analysis showed that the percentage of correct response and conceptualization level in the observation group at T1 and T2 were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The time and group interaction effect of SII was significant ( F=8.173, P<0.05). The results of simple effects analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in SII between the two groups at T0 ( P>0.05). The SII at T1 and T2 in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). In the observation group, the changes in SII from T2 to T0 was positively correlated with the change in HAMD-17 scores ( r=0.527, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the percentage of correct responses to the Wisconsin card sorting test ( r=-0.412, P<0.05) and the percentage of conceptualization level ( r=-0.411, P<0.05). Conclusion:irTMS is effective in treating TRD and can improve patients' cognitive function and immune inflammation damage.
