Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prospective association between physical activity (PA),independently or in conjunction with other contributing factors,and osteoporosis (OP) outcomes. Methods The Physical Activity in Osteoporosis Outcomes (PAOPO) study was a community-based cohort investigation. A structured questionnaire was used to gather the participants' sociodemographic characteristics. Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were performed to assess OP outcomes,and the relationship between BMD and OP was evaluated within this cohort. Results From 2013 to 2014,8,471 participants aged 18 years and older were recruited from Tangshan,China's Jidong community. Based on their PA level,participants were categorized as inactive,moderately active,or very active. Men showed higher physical exercise levels than women across the activity groups. BMD was significantly higher in the very active group than in the moderately active and inactive groups. Individuals aged>50 years are at a higher risk of developing OP and osteopenia. Conclusion The PAOPO study offers promising insights into the relationship between PA and OP outcomes,encouraging the implementation of PA in preventing and managing OP.

Objective: To validation and optimization the indicator system of risk assessment for mechanical cuts. Methods: The risk assessment index system of mechanical cutting injury established earlier was used to assess the risk of mechanical cutting injury in 40 cases of mechanical cutting injury registered from January 2015 to December 2017 and 40 similar positions without accidents in the same period. The multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to screen the indicator system, and to adjust the weight coefficient of each index. The total coincidence rate and Kappa value were compared between before and after optimization respectively. Results: The new index system has 3 first-class indicators, 10 second-class indicators and 14 three-class indicators, fewer than the old index system which has 3 first-class indicators, 10 second-class indicators, 34 three-class indicators. There three indicators have revamped in the first-class. The total of coincidence rates of the new and old indicator systems were 67.50% and 90.00%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The Kappa value were 0.35 and 0.80, respectively. Conclusion The evaluation results with new indicator systems is more consistent with the actual hazard detection the the old indicator systems, and scientific, reasonable and practical, and the indicator system of risk assessment for mechanical cuts can be used for the risk assessment of mechanical cutting injuries.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect and its mechanism of carvedilol on leptin-induced activation and proliferation of LX2 human hepatic stellate cells(HSC-LX2). METHODS:HSC-LX2 with logarithmic growth periods were divided into blank con-trol group,leptin-stimulated group and carvedilol low-concentration,medium-concentration,high-concentration groups(5,10,20μmol/L). Except for the blank control group,other groups were added 0.1 g/L leptin and corresponding concentration of carvedilol. After 24 h,MTT method was used to detect the optical density(OD)value of cells and calculate the proliferation rate. Flow cytom-etry was used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect the α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),matrix metalloproteinase inhibition factor 1 (TIMP-1),leptin,leptin receptor mRNA expressions. Western blot method was used to detect phosphorylated Janus kinase 2(p-JAK2),phosphorylated signal trans-duction and transcriptional activator 3 (p-STAT3) protein expressions. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,OD value of cell was increased in leptin-stimulated group;apoptotic rate was decreased;cells of G0/G1 were decreased;α-SMA,TIMP-1, leptin,leptin receptor mRNA expressions and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expressions were increased (P<0.05). Compared with leptin-stimulated group,OD values of cells were decreased in carvedilol concentration groups;apoptotic rate was increased,and the cells were mainly blocked in G0/G1 phase;α-SMA,TIMP-1,leptin,leptin receptor mRNA expressions and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expressions were decreased(P<0.05)and was concentration-depended(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Carvedilol can inhibit the activation and proliferation of leptin-induced HSC-LX2,promote its apoptosis. The mechanism may associate with down-regulat-ing leptin,leptin receptor gene expression and blocking JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway activation by leptin in cells.

BACKGROUND: Measuring result of the lower limb alignment is often influenced by various factors, such as femoral bowing angle (FBA) in different positions.OBJECTIVE: To measure the FBA and femoral valgus correction angle (VCA) in different positions after CT reconstruction of lower limb model, and simulating X-ray examination, and to explore the rule of FBA affecting lower limb alignment.METHODS: Twenty patients undergoing CT angiography of lower extremity artery were enrolled, three-dimensional reconstruction of low limb was established on Mimics13.0 software based on CT data, and the FBA in standard posture was determined. All patients were divided into groups A (FBA > 2°), B (2° > FBA > 0°), C (0° > FBA > -2°) and D (FBA <-2°) (n=5 per group). Then each model was revolved through the vertical axis from 20° of internal rotation to 20° of external rotation by 2° for one motion, and 21 three-dimensional images were transformed into two-dimensional images to obtain the X-ray images of low limb. FBA and VCA in different positions were measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The outcome measurements showed that FBA tended to be decreased in internal rotation and increased in external rotation. (2) VCA tended to be increased in external rotation and decreased in internal rotation. (3) FBA was positively correlated with VCA in the different positions (P < 0.01). (4) These results suggest that FBA can be altered with rotation and even expose influence on VCA. The bigger FBA is, the more influence on the lower limb alignment. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct the full length X-ray of lower limb in a standard posture, especially for the patients with larger FBA.

OBJECTIVE: To study the intervention effects of participatory training on the occupational health in polishing workers. METHODS: By the stratified random sampling method,930 front-line polishing workers were selected from 50 manufacturing enterprises in Guangzhou,467 workers in the intervention group and 463 workers in the control group. The intervention group adopted participatory training and the control group adopted the traditional training. We evaluated the changes of occupational health knowledge,attitude and practice( KAP) in workers of these two groups using the questionnaire table of occupational health KAP for polishing workers. Data of before intervention,immediately after intervention and 3 months after intervention were collected. RESULTS: The workers 'knowledge,attitude and practice scores at the time point of immediately after intervention were higher than those before intervention in the same group( P <0. 05). The workers' knowledge and practice scores of 3 months after intervention in intervention group were higher than those before intervention( P < 0. 05). The knowledge and practice scores of 3 months after intervention in the intervention group were higher than that in the control group( P < 0. 05). The evaluation scores on protection measure and warning signs of workers in the intervention group were lower than those in workers of control group 3 months after the intervention( P < 0. 05). Three months after the intervention,the workers in intervention group believed that the training was more effective than that in the control group in the following 6 aspects: improving the knowledge of occupational health,improving the ability of identifying risk factors, learning to use the personal protective equipment, helping other workmates,having confidence to make suggestions and introducing other workmates to participate in training( P < 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The participatory training is an effective intervention model in improving the workers ' awareness of occupational health KAP.

Objective To investigate the lens and pituitary dose impacted by additional filtration and collection field in head and neck DSA examinations. Methods All images were acquired by a Philips ALLura Xper FD 20 DSA machine. The combination of the different collection fields (48 cm, 42 cm, 31 cm, 22 cm) and additional filtrations (0.9 mmCu+1.0 mmAl, 0.4 mmCu+1.0 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+1.0 mmAl) were adjusted when the anthropomorphic phantom filled with dosimeter was scanned in anterioposterior and lateral positions with 2D?DSA and 3D?DSA. The dose area product (DAP), air kerma (AK) and the radiation dose values of bilateral lens and pituitary were measured and recorded. The 2D and 3D?DSA regional absorption dose on lens and pituitary were analyzed using t' test, the correlations between DAP and AK parameters and different regional absorption doses were evaluated by Pearson rank correlation coefficient. Results Absorption doses of left lens, right lens and pituitary with 2D?DSA (n=12) were as following:(2.77 ± 0.68), (6.23 ± 3.54), (8.65 ± 2.62) mGy, while the parameters with 3D?DSA (n=12) were (1.78 ± 0.82), (2.18±1.15), (3.32±0.64) mGy, respectively;the results revealed a significant difference (t'=3.20, 3.76 and 6.85, P<0.01). DAP [(8 739±5 731) mGy·cm2] had a relationship with absorption dose of pituitary, left lens and right lens [(5.988 ± 3.299),( 2.258 ± 0.872),( 4.207 ± 3.303) mGy, r values were 0.766, 0.684, 0.727; P<0.01]. AK values was (31 ± 23) mGy and it had a relationship with pituitary absorption dose (r value was 0.894, P<0.01). The lens dose was reduced when the additional filtration was increased and the collection field was decreased, the radiation dose of the pituitary was reduced when both the additional filtration and the collection field were increased. Conclusions In the head and neck DSA examinations, the radiation dose of the lens and the pituitary had different changes with the different additional filters and collecting fields. The organ dose with 3D?DSA was significantly less than that with 2D?DSA.

Objective To investigate the influence of acupuncture on learning and memorial function and the expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex of rats with sleep deprivation (SD), for providing theoretical evidence for treating sleep deprivation with acupuncture.Method Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and an acupuncture group, 20 rats in each group. SD models were established by the modified multiple platform methods; the acupuncture group was intervened by acupuncture at Shenmen (HT 7); while the control group was left intact. Respectively after SD for 24 h and 72 h, the learning and memorial function was tested by using Morris water maze. Ten the rats were sacrificed to collect brain for detecting the expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex via immunohistochemical method.Result The body weight, learning and memorial function, and the expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex of the acupuncture group and model group were significantly different from those of the control group after SD for 24 h and 72 h (P<0.05). The learning and memorial function of the acupuncture group was significantly different from that of the model group after SD for 24 h and 72 h (P<0.05). The body weight and expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex of the acupuncture group were significantly different from those of the model group after SD for 72 h (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture can obviously improve the decline of the function of learning and memory of the SD rats, and also up-regulate the declined expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex caused by SD.
