Background With China's socioeconomic development, significant lifestyle changes have occurred among occupational groups, leading to alterations in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors. However, few studies have examined the secular trends of these risk factors in China's working population. Objective To analyze the trends in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors among the occupational population in nine provinces of China from 2009 to 2018, and to explore the associations between different occupational types and these risk factors, along with their clustering patterns, thereby providing evidence for targeted interventions. Methods This study utilized data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 2009, 2015, and 2018. The dataset covered 13274 employed individuals aged 18-59 years. Only participants with complete blood test results and physical measurement data were included in the final analysis. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) in the positive rates of risk factors was calculated using Joinpoint regression to analyze temporal trends. Multinomial logistic regression and binary logistic regression models were employed to examine the cross-sectional associations between occupational types (categorized as white-collar workers, agricultural workers, blue-collar workers, service workers, and others) and nine cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and their clustering (defined as having ≥2 risk factors) in 2018. Results A total of 8451 participants were included. From 2009 to 2018, significant increasing trends (AAPC>0, P<0.05) were observed for overweight, obesity, central obesity, borderline elevated triglycerides (TG), borderline elevated to elevated total cholesterol (TC), borderline elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), elevated blood pressure and hypertension, diabetes. The most rapid increases were found for obesity (AAPC=6.07%, 95%CI: 3.42%, 8.88%), hypertension (AAPC=4.10%, 95%CI: 0.62%, 7.77%), and central obesity (AAPC=3.27%, 95%CI: 1.24%, 5.36%). The clustering rate of risk factors increased from 62.3% in 2009 to 73.2% in 2018 (AAPC=1.87%, 95%CI: 1.02%, 2.73%). The cross-sectional analysis in 2018, after adjusting for confounders, showed that compared with white-collar workers, blue-collar workers had a significantly lower risk of overweight (OR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.48, 0.95), central obesity (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.92), and borderline high TG (OR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.35, 0.82). In contrast, agricultural workers had a higher risk of hypertension (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.14, 2.72). Conclusion Between 2009 and 2015, the burden of most cardiometabolic risk factors increases significantly among the Chinese occupational population, with the rate of increase slowing by 2018. Risks vary across occupational types, among which blue- collar workers report lower target outcomes. Targeted interventions focusing on the rapidly increasing risk factors and high-risk occupational groups are recommended.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided subcostal quadratus lumborum block combined with general anesthesia in laparoscopic bariatric surgery.Methods:In this prospective randomized controlled study, 80 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱpatients, aged 18-40 yr, with a body mass index of 30-45 kg/m 2, of cardiac function classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February 2023 to May 2023, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) using a table of random numbers: general anesthesia group (GA group) and subcostal quadratus lumborum block combined with general anesthesia group (SQB+ GA group). Both groups received combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia. Patients in SQB+ GA group underwent bilateral ultrasound-guided subcostal quadratus lumborum block with 20 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine before anesthesia induction. Oxycodone was administered for analgesia during the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with sufentanil and granisetron was used after returning to the ward. When the visual analog scale score >4 within 24 h after surgery, flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg was intravenously given as rescue analgesic. The intraoperative consumption of remifentanil and use of vasoactive drugs were recorded. The effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and requirement for rescue analgesia were recorded. The tracheal extubation time, PACU stay time, use of oxycodone during PACU stay, and occurrence of hypoxemia after tracheal extubation and occurrence of adverse reactions within 24 h after surgery was also recorded. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed at discharge from PACU. Results:Compared with GA group, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was significantly reduced, the usage rate of oxycodone, effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and rate of rescue analgesia were significantly decreased, the PaO 2 and PaCO 2 at discharge from PACU were decreased, the tracheal extubation time and PACU stay time were shortened, and the incidence of hypoxemia after tracheal extubation and postoperative nausea and vomiting was decreased in SQB+ GA group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with general anesthesia alone, ultrasound-guided subcostal quadratus lumborum block combined with general anesthesia can reduce the intraoperative consumption of opioids, alleviate postoperative pain, and decrease the occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions when used in laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Purpose To analyze CT and MRI manifestations of rare primary malignant liver tumors in adults to improve the diagnostic accuracy.Materials and Methods This retrospective study analyzed imaging,clinical and pathological data from 28 patients with pathologically confirmed rare primary malignant liver tumors at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University(April 2011 to July 2024).Clinical presentations,laboratory findings,and CT/MRI characteristics of different tumor types were evaluated.Results The cohort included eight cases of hepatic sarcomatoid carcinoma,eight of primary hepatic lymphoma,six of primary hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor,three of intrahepatic biliary cystadenocarcinoma,and three of hepatic adenosquamous carcinoma.Distinct imaging features were observed:all eight sarcomatoid carcinomas presented as solitary,large cystic-solid masses;three showed progressive or persistent enhancement of solid components/septae,with four demonstrating portal vein tumor thrombus.Seven cases of primary hepatic lymphomas appeared as homogeneous,round/oval lesions,with one case restricted diffusion on diffusion weighted imaging,and seven cases exhibited mild homogeneous enhancement;two exhibited the vessel penetration sign;all six primary hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors manifested as cystic-solid masses with extensive central necrosis;two showed peripheral pseudocapsules while four had tortuous feeding vessels,with mild-to-moderate persistent enhancement of solid components;all three intrahepatic biliary cystadenocarcinomas occurred in the left lobe,presenting as multilocular cystic lesions with papillary mural nodules showing variable enhancement of walls,septations and nodules;two adenosquamous carcinomas demonstrated irregular morphology with distal biliary dilation and predominant delayed enhancement.Conclusion Imaging diagnosis of rare primary malignant liver tumors remains challenging.While some lesions demonstrate characteristic features,pathological confirmation remains essential for definitive diagnosis.

Objective:To adapt and validate the Chinese version of the Supervisory Relationship Questionnaire(SRQ)and evaluate its psychometric properties among supervisees.Methods:Item analysis,exploratory factor anal-ysis(EFA)and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA)were conducted on data from 888 supervisees recruited via on-line platform.Test-retest reliability over a four-week interval was examined in a randomly selected subset of 70 su-pervisees.An additional sample of 367 supervisees completed the Supervisory Relationship Scale(SRS)to evaluate criterion validity.Results:The revised SRQ contained 65 items and 6 factors.Both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis supported six-factor structure(safe base,structure,commitment,reflective education,role model and formative feedback),explaining 66.52％of the variance,with factor loadings of the items ranging from 0.58 to 0.83.The revised SRQ had six factors with good fit indices(x2/df=1.31,GFI=0.81,NFI=0.87,CFI=0.97,TLI=0.90,IFI=0.91,RMSEA=0.03,SRMR=0.05).The scores of the revised SRQ were positively correlated with the scores of SRS(ICC=0.96,P＜0.01).The Cronbach α coefficient of the revised SRQ was 0.97,and the test-retest reliability coefficient(ICC)was 0.74.Conclusion:The SRQ-C demonstrates sound psy-chometric properties,including structural validity,criterion-related validity,internal consistency,and temporal stabil-ity.It is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing supervisory relationships from the supervisee perspective.

Gut microorganisms are central to the intestinal microecosystem, regulating digestive functions and related to immune regulation, metabolic disorders, and nervous system development. Recent studies reveal the multifaceted interactions between micronutrients (MNs) and gut microbiota, where MNs provide essential nutrients to the intestinal flora and influence the production and absorption of various MNs through direct or indirect pathways. This article reviews the recent advances in the effects of water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, and micronutrients on the intestinal microecology, aiming to provide new ideas for future research.

Objective:To propose a functional method for locating the shoulder joint center of rotation aimed at rapid estimation of the upper limb reachable domain envelope, thereby informing ergonomic design and task optimization.Methods:In March 2024, shoulder kinematics during gait were recorded from ten adults using a three-dimensional motion-capture system. Assuming the existence of a point near the glenohumeral joint that maintains a fixed spatial relationship to the humerus and the acromion, we estimated both static and dynamic centers of rotation. Localization accuracy was quantified by the standard deviation of distance residuals to upper-arm markers. Upper-limb joint angles and anthropometric parameters were modeled via regression; combined with maximal joint ranges of motion, these were used to infer the reachable domain envelope.Results:The static center of rotation was located approximately twenty-two millimeters medial to the acromial landmark in the coronal plane and thirty-seven millimeters inferior to it. The standard deviation of the residuals for the distances from the dynamic shoulder joint center of rotation to upper-arm markers averaged 1.02 mm, which was 47.42% lower than that of the static center of rotation and 66.56% lower than that of the acromion. Moreover, the trajectory of this dynamic center showed a strong correlation with upper-limb joint angles ( R2>0.7) . Conclusion:The proposed method enables rapid and accurate estimation of the upper limb reachable domain envelope to support ergonomic design and may help reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of water-borne endemic fluorosis in Anhui Province, and provide basic data for the adjusting the prevention and control measures.Methods:Using cross-sectional survey method, all villages in the water-borne endemic fluorosis areas were investigated in Anhui Province from 2019 to 2022. In water-borne endemic fluorosis village, the situation of water improvement project and the fluoride level of drinking water were investigated, and dental fluorosis of all children aged 8 - 12 was examined. The criteria for determining the achievement of control targets for water-borne endemic fluorosis in affected counties were based on the "Evaluation Measures for Control and Elimination of Key Endemic Diseases (2019 Edition)".Results:From 2019 to 2022, the rate of water improvement village in water-borne endemic fluorosis areas were 88.47% (1 527/1 726), 100% (1 726/1 726), 100% (1 726/1 726) and 100% (1 726/1 726), respectively. The qualified proportion of water fluoride in water-borne endemic fluorosis villages was 33.84% (584/1 726), 63.09% (1 089/1 726), 70.74% (1 221/1 726) and 74.33% (1 283/1 726), respectively. The prevalence rates of dental fluorosis in children aged 8 - 12 were 25.48% (45 461/178 440), 15.78% (27 959/177 200), 13.68% (23 505/171 880) and 12.66% (23 315/184 200), respectively. The proportion of affected counties that had achieved the control target of water-borne endemic fluorosis was 16% (4/25), 60% (15/25), 36% (9/25) and 40% (10/25), respectively.Conclusions:The water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Anhui Province have improved the water fluoride qualification rate and reduced the incidence of fluorosis in children through prevention and control measures such as water improvement and fluoride reduction. However, the prevention and control efforts in key areas and counties need to be further improved.

Primary hyperaldosteronism(PHA),the most common cause of secondary hypertension,can lead to cardiovascular and renal damage events.Early diagnosis and accurate typing of PHA is crucial to the choice of treatment options,and its diagnostic modalities usually include prone test screening,captopril test characterization and adrenal vein blood sampling for localization and typing diagnosis.However,with the development of imaging,molecular biology and morphology technologies,the use of nuclear medicine PET-CT,genetic testing and pathological diagnostic methods can also be used to accurately typify PHA.New technologies such as adrenal artery embolization and adrenal radiofrequency ablation are also increasingly being used in the treatment of PHA,which have the advantages of shorter and less costly surgery,fewer postoperative complications,and quicker recovery.This article provides a review of the developments in the screening,diagnosis and treatment of PHA with a view to informing clinical practice.
