Background Health literacy is closely related to mental health, and improving health literacy has been shown to promote mental well-being. However, whether occupational stress among workers in mining and manufacturing is associated with their occupational health literacy remains inconclusive. Objective To study the levels of occupational health literacy and occupational stress among workers in three industrial sectors (metal ores mining, metal smelting, and manufacture of non-metallic mineral products) in Gansu Province, and to analyze the correlation between them. Methods Between May and December 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to survey workers from 73 large, medium, and small and micro sized enterprises across the aforementioned industries in Gansu Province. Participants’ occupational health literacy and occupational stress levels were assessed. The LASSO regression model was applied to identifykey factors influencing occupational stress, and subsequently a multilevel random intercept mixed-effects logistic model was used to study factors influencing occupational stress and to explore the relationship between occupational health literacy and occupational stress. Results A total of 3611 workers across the three industries were surveyed, among whom 1031 (28.55%) experienced occupational stress. Workers with adequate occupational health literacy—whether assessed in terms of overall literacy or specific dimensions—demonstrated a significantly lower prevalence of occupational stress compared to those without adequate literacy (P<0.05). Through the LASSO regression analysis, it was found that the factors closely related to occupational stress were dimension one (occupational health legal knowledge), dimension two (basic knowledge of occupational health protection), and dimension four (healthy working methods and behaviors) of occupational health literacy, gender, average monthly income, and night shifts. The results from the three-level random intercept mixed-effects logistic regression model indicated that dimensions one (OR=0.69, 95%CI: 0.58, 0.82), two (OR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.58, 0.87), and four (OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.67, 0.98) of occupational health literacy were negatively correlated with the risk of occupational stress. Workers with an average monthly income of 3001–≤5000, 5001–≤7000, and ≥7001 yuan reported occupational stress risks that were 61% (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.81), 56% (OR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.41, 0.78), and 36% (OR=0.36, 95%CI: 0.24, 0.53) of those with an average monthly income ≤3000 yuan, respectively. Male workers (OR=1.66, 95%CI: 1.32, 2.10) and those on night shifts (OR=2.29, 95%CI: 1.90, 2.76) had a higher risk of occupational stress. The random effects variance showed that the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.12. Conclusion There is a negative correlation between occupational stress and occupational health literacy among workers in mining and manufacturing. Being male, having a low income, and working night shifts are risk factors affecting workers' occupational stress. It is recommended to focus on these groups of workers and incorporate occupational health literacy into workplace mental health promotion.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,molecular subtypes,and prognostic factors of diffuse midline glioma(DMG)with H3K27 alterations.Methods Clinical data from 19 patients from DMG were col-lected.The clinical manifestations,histopathological features,immunophenotypes,and molecular genetic characteris-tics were analyzed.Relevant literature was also reviewed.Results Among the 19 patients,12 cases had tumors loca-ted in the thalamus,while 7 cases had tumors in other midline regions(including 4 cases in the brainstem,1 case in the cerebellum,and 2 cases in the spinal cord).Clinical symptoms primarily included dizziness,gait instability,and blurred vision.Histological features were diverse,with 12 cases classified as high-grade gliomas and 7 cases as low-grade.Immunohistochemistry revealed a loss of H3K27me3 expression in all cases,with 18 cases showing diffuse H3K27M positivity and 1 case expressing EZHIP.Of the 16 cases that underwent next-generation sequencing(NGS),1 case showed EGFR mutation(1/16,6％),while the remaining 15 cases had H3F3A K27M mutations(15/16,94％).Among these,7 cases had ATRX mutations(7/15,46.6％),5 cases had MAPK pathway alterations(5/15,33.3％,including 2 cases FGFR1,2 cases NF1,1 case co-mutated with BRAF and NF1),5 cases had PDGFRA mis-sense mutations(5/15,33.3％),4 cases had p53 missense or frameshift deletions(4/15,26.6％).One case each had a DICER1 missense mutation and an IDH1-S202R frameshift deletion(1/15,6.6％).The prognosis was general-ly poor,with a median survival of 9.5 months.Conclusion DMG exhibits high tumor heterogeneity and an overall poor prognosis.The predominant molecular aleration was the H3F3A K27M mutation.Patients with co-altered MAPK pathway showed relatively better outcomes,providing new insights into the molecular genetic characteristics of DMG.

Pediatric liver tumors are predominantly primary malignant tumors. Due to the delicate anatomical structures of the liver in children, the typically large tumor size, and frequent involvement of major hepatic vessels, surgical intervention poses significant challenges. Complete tumor resection while preserving sufficient remnant functional liver tissue is critical for improving prognosis. With the emergence of precision surgery concepts and advancements in computer tech-nology, three-dimensional visualization technology has gained increasing attention in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric liver tumors. This technology can enhance surgical accuracy and safety through precise preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative follow-up. To standardize the application of three-dimensional visualization technology in pediatric liver tumor management, professor Dong Qian from The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University has collabora-ted with 36 multidisciplinary experts from 8 countries to establish an international expert consensus on the clinical implementation of this technology in precision surgery for pediatric liver tumors. The authors provide an interpretation of the proposed consensus, aiming to guide clinicians in the standardized application of three-dimensional visualization technology during pediatric liver tumor resections.

Objective:To analyze the latent prevalence of hepatitis B and type 2 diabetes and their correlation through an observational study.Methods:This study used a case-control design. The cases with diabetes were recruited through the diabetes management system and village doctors, while the controls without diabetes were screened from volunteers recruited by village health clinics. Capillary blood samples were collected from the study participants for the measurement of real-time blood glucose level, and venous blood samples were taken from them for the detections of HBV serological markers. Firth logistic regression model was used to fit the relationship between HBsAg positive status and diabetes status.Results:The study included 1 218 diabetes patients, 62 patients with impaired fasting glucose and 491 cases without diabetes. In the cases without diagnosis of diabetes, 11.15% had impaired fasting blood glucose and 4.43% had diabetes. Among those who reported no or unknown diagnosis of hepatitis B, 1.73% were positive for HBsAg, while 18.80% were positive for both HBV core antibody and surface antibody, indicating latent infection of hepatitis B virus. In the non-diabetes group, 0.81% reported hepatitis B history, and in the diabetes group, 2.76% reported hepatitis B history. After adjustment, the HBsAg positive rate was higher in the diabetes group ( OR=2.90, 95% CI: 1.21-6.91). Conclusions:Both diabetes and hepatitis B exhibited a high degree of latent prevalence. The HBsAg positive rate was significantly higher in those with diabetes than in those without diabetes, indicating a potential correlation. These findings highlighted the importance of strengthened screening and management of comorbidities.

Objective:Exploration of the immunogenicity and persistence of three different immunization regimens of hepatitis B vaccines in diabetic patients.Methods:Participants with diabetes and non-diabetic individuals were recruited from study sites and assigned to different vaccination regimens: the diabetic group (①D60Yeast0-1: received 60 μg Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived recombinant HBV vaccine on a 0-1-month schedule; ②D20Yeast0-1-6: received 20 μg Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived recombinant HBV vaccine on a 0-1-6-month schedule; ③D20CHO0-1-6: received 20 μg Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell-derived recombinant HBV vaccine on a 0-1-6-month schedule) and the non-diabetic group (ND20Yeast0-1-6: non-diabetic individuals received 20 μg Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived recombinant HBV vaccine on a 0-1-6-month schedule). Venous blood samples were collected at 1,12, and 48 months post-full vaccination to measure anti-HBs levels. Differences in immunogenicity between diabetic and non-diabetic groups, as well as among diabetic subgroups, were analyzed.Results:This study enrolled a total of 564 subjects. In the D20CHO0-1-6 group, the seroconversion rate decreased from 90.72% (95% CI: 84.84%-96.60%) at 1 month to 74.23% (95% CI: 65.37%-83.08%) at 48 months, and the antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC) decreased from 676.08 (95% CI: 389.05- 1 148.20) mIU/ml at 1 month to 33.11 (95% CI: 23.44-46.77) mIU/ml at 48 months. In the D20Yeast0-1-6 group, the seroconversion rate declined from 93.81% (95% CI: 89.29%-98.32%) at 1 month to 63.72% (95% CI: 54.71%-72.72%) at 48 months, with antibody GMC dropping from 630.96 (95% CI: 407.40-954.99) mIU/ml to 25.70 (95% CI: 17.78-38.02) mIU/ml over the same period. For the D60Yeast0-1 group, seroconversion rate fell from 82.03% (95% CI: 75.29%-88.77%) to 56.25% (95% CI: 47.54%-64.96%), and antibody GMC decreased from 81.28 (95% CI: 51.29-128.82) mIU/ml to 15.49 (95% CI: 11.75-20.89) mIU/ml between 1 and 48 months. The ND20Yeast0-1-6 group (non-diabetic control) exhibited a higher initial seroconversion rate of 97.56% (95% CI: 94.80%- 100.00%) at 1 month, but it still declined to 76.42% (95% CI: 68.82%-84.03%) at 48 months, with antibody GMC decreasing from 1 318.30 (95% CI: 912.01- 1 905.50) mIU/ml to 34.67 (95% CI: 25.12-47.86) mIU/ml. Multivariate analysis on factors influencing the GMC of antibodies revealed statistically significant differences in antibody GMC between the D20Yeast0-1-6 group and ND20Yeast0-1-6 group at 12 months (a OR=0.73, 95% CI: 0.58-0.93) and 48 months (a OR=0.79, 95% CI: 0.63-0.99) post-vaccination (all P<0.05). As for the diabetic population, when compared with the D20Yeast0-1-6 group, the D60Yeast0-1 group also showed statistically significant differences in antibody GMC at 12 months (a OR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.44-0.74) and 48 months (a OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.47-0.76)(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The seroconversion rate and antibody GMC gradually decreased over time (1, 12, and 48 months) in the four groups. Diabetic patients showed poor immunogenicity and persistence to hepatitis B vaccines. The immunogenicity and persistence of hepatitis B vaccination in diabetic patients were associated with vaccine type, antigen dose, and vaccination regimen. The CHO cell-recombinant hepatitis B vaccine demonstrated better performance in terms of immunogenicity and persistence among the diabetic population.
