Background Electroplating technology is widely used in the mechanical manufacturing industry. Electroplating workers may be exposed to occupational hazards such as chromium, zinc, cyanides, and sulfuric acid. With the continuous improvement of protective conditions, occupational hazards have been effectively controlled, but there is less focus on the potential acute occupational poisoning that may occur during the electroplating process. Objective To identify causes of an acute chromium poisoning accident occurred during the cleaning process of electroplating tank in a hardware processing plant, and to formulate relevant prevention and control measures to avoid similar poisoning accidents. Methods Occupational history, medical history, and treatment process of the poisoned worker were inquired in detail, his inpatient medical records were consulted , and his blood samples were tested. Occupational health investigation and testing were carried out at the scene of the poisoning accident. Results The air concentration of peak exposure (CPE) and permissible concentration-time weighted average (CTWA) of chromium and its compounds in the workplace were 0.49 mg·m⁻³ and 0.31 mg·m⁻³ respectively. The results of auxiliary test were Serum chromium 4175.85 μg·L⁻¹, serum creatinine 1370.2 μmol·L⁻¹, urea 42.28 mmol·L⁻¹, and urine osmotic pressure 248 mosm·L⁻¹. The final diagnosis was occupational acute severe toxic nephropathy (chromium and its compounds) and occupational chemical skin moderate burn (chromic acid, sulfuric acid). The prescribed treatment included right lower limb expansion skin grafting, hemodialysis and symptomatic support. The patient’s condition was stable and gradually improved after the treatment. Conclusion The main causes of the poisoning accident include weak awareness of the employer of occupational disease prevention and control; failures in fulfilling legal obligations of occupational disease prevention and control, implementing effective occupational disease prevention measures, and providing proper occupational health and safety training and effective personal protective equipment. In order to protect the health of workers, the relevant government departments and employers should attach great importance to the prevention and control of occupational diseases, such as strengthening training and education, increasing the intensity of occupational health supervision, and urging employers to implement occupational disease prevention measures in accordance with the law.

AIM:To develop and validate a predic-tive model for the risk of high plasma concentra-tion of voriconazole,and to guide clinical individual-ized medication of voriconazole.METHODS:Based on the real-world data from the hospital Informa-tion system(HIS),the clinical data of hospitalized patients who received voriconazole treatment and underwent voriconazole plasma concentration monitoring in our hospital from August 2017 to Au-gust 2021 were collected.Univariate and multivari-ate logistic regression analysis were performed on the included influencing factors.At the same time,in order to minimize the potential collinearity and overfitting between variables,the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were used to screen the potential predictors.Logistic re-gression analysis was used to construct a predic-tion model for the risk of high plasma concentra-tion of voriconazole.C-index,calibration chart and clinical decision curve analysis were used to evalu-ate the discrimination,consistency and clinical ap-plicability of the model,and a nomogram was drawn.RESULTS:A total of 147 patients were en-rolled in this study.Plasma albumin and procalcito-nin were selected as predictive variables for Logis-tic regression analysis,and the prediction model was established.Draw predict voriconazole nomo-gram risk blood drug concentration on the high side.The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the AUC of the prediction model for predicting the risk of high plasma concentration of voriconazole was 0.787(95%CI 0.663-0.911).Vori-conazole blood drug concentration was high inci-dence of cut-off value was 33.06%,sensitivity was 63.64%,87.65%and 58.33%positive predictive val-ue,negative predictive value of 89.87%.The cali-bration curve showed good consistency,and the clinical decision curve showed that the model had a positive net benefit when the threshold probabili-ty was between 6.67%and 99.99%.CONCLUSION:The predictive model for the risk of high plasma concentration of voriconazole has good predictive efficacy,which can provide guidance for clinical in-dividualized medication of voriconazole.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between vaccination doses and the duration of positive nucleic acid or antigen tests in Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients during omicron epidemic.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 26 to December 31, 2022 among COVID-19 patients from all community health service centers in 16 districts of Beijing municipality selected by multi-stage stratified cluster quota sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect the basic information, vaccination doses, results of nucleic acid or antigen tests of all subjects. The subjects were divided into 5 groups according to the doses of COVID-19 vaccination: the non-vaccination group, the 1, 2, 3 and 4 doses vaccination group. The relationship between vaccination doses and the duration of positive nucleic acid or antigen tests was analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression models.Results:A total of 10 506 COVID-19 cases were included in the study with the age of (43.3±13.7) years. The duration of positive nucleic acid or antigen tests was longer than 7 days in 59.4%(276/465), 51.5%(67/130), 50.6%(355/701), 46.1% (3 464/7 520) and 39.2%(662/1 690) of non-vaccination, and 1, 2, 3, 4 dose vaccination groups, respectively ( P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with non-vaccination patients, the vaccination dose was an independent protective factor for duration of positive nucleic acid or antigen tests>7 days, and the OR values were 0.7 (95% CI 0.5-0.9, P=0.015), 0.6 (95% CI 0.5-0.8, P<0.001) and 0.5 (95% CI 0.4-0.6, P<0.001) for 2, 3 and 4 doses of vaccination, respectively. Conclusion:The vaccination doses are independently related to the duration of positive nucleic acid or antigen tests in COVID-19 patients and the risk is gradually decreases with the increasing vaccination doses.

Clinical data of 15 patients diagnosed with acute renal infarction (ARI) in Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University from Jan 2011 to Dec 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of the included 15 patients, there were 14 cases of cardiac origin and 1 case of antiphospholipid syndrome. We found that there were 12 cases of atrial fibrillation, 2 cases of atrial premature beats, 12 cases of elevated level of D-dimer, 15 cases of elevated level of LDH, 11 cases of positive urine occult blood and positive urine protein. Among the 15 patients, catheter-directed thrombolysis was performed in 4 cases, of which 3 cases were revascularized successfully, intravenous thrombolysis in 2 cases and alone anticoagulation therapy in 9 cases. It is suggested that CECT or CTA can assist the early diagnosis of ARI especially in patients with acute onset and persistent abdominal pain with high risk factors of thromboembolism, high levels of LDH, microscopic hematuria and/or proteinuria. Despite prolonged embolic ischemia, try to reconstruct blood flow to save the kidney as much as possible. Late standardized anticoagulant therapy is of critical importance to prevent recurrent embolic episodes.

BACKGROUND: Suicidal behaviors are seriously social issues among adolescents in the world. Exposed to smoking and being bullied are risk factors of suicidal behaviors. The present study was aimed to examine the interaction of smoking and being bullied on suicidal behaviors among Chinese adolescents. METHODS: A total of 18,900 students were involved in the questionnaire study, in four cities of China from November 2017 to January 2018. Suicidal behaviors, smoking, and being bullied were measured by self-reported validated instruments. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to analyze the associations of suicidal ideation (SI)/suicidal plan (SP)/suicidal attempt (SA), smoking, and being bullied. RESULTS: The prevalence of smoking, being bullied, SI/SP/SA, were 3.1%, 20.6%, 26.4%, 13.2%, and 5.2% respectively. Interaction analysis indicated that being bullied was associated with a greater increase in the likelihood of suicidal behaviors for adolescents with smoking than for those without smoking. CONCLUSIONS These finding suggest that smoking exacerbates the association between being bullied and suicidal behaviors. Future research should explore how and why smoking appears to more bully-victims than for those without smoking and how to mitigate it.

Objective To compare the effect of enteral nutrition liquid with different dietary fiber content on serum protein in patients with stress hyperglycemia.Methods A total of 90 patients with stress hyperglycemia were randomly divided into three groups:enteral nutritional suspension (SP) group (Peptisorb),enteral nutritional suspension (TPF-FOS) group (Jevety) and enteral nutritional suspension (TPF-D) group (Glucerna),each group consisting of 30 patients.In the three groups,prealbumi (PA),serum albumin (ALB),retinol binding protein (RBP),transfer-rin (TRF) and hemoglobin (Hb) were continuously measured on the 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th and 7th day.Data were analyzed by SPSS 15.0.Variances on time and group were analyzed by repeated measures of general linear model.Results The PA,ALB,RBP,TRF and Hb were significantly different among Peptisorb group,Jevety group and Glucerna group (P＜ 0.05).The PA,ALB and Hb which were determined in different time,were not significantly impacted by Peptisorb,Jevety or Glucerna,and not significantly changed with time.The RBP and TRF which were determined at different time,were not impacted by Peptisorb,Jevety or Glucema,but time× group from RBP and TRF which were determined in different time,were significantly impacted in Peptisorb group,Jevety group and Glucerna group (P＜ 0.01).Conclusion The content from different dietary fiber significantly affects serum protein in patients with stress hyperglycemia,and TPF-D has the most significant effect on serum protein.

Objective To examine the prevalence of plasmid mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes and their correlation with the genes encoding β-lactamases in E.coli isolates.Methods A total of 200 levofloxacin-and/or ciprofloxacin-resistant E.coli isolates were collected from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital during the period from July to December 2013.PCR method was used to screen these E.coli isolates for the presence of qnrA,qnrB,qnrC,qnrD,qnrS,aac(6')-Ib-cr,qepA,oqxAB genes,and the blaTEM,blasnv and blacTx-M genes in the PMQR positive strains.Agar dilution method was utilized to measure the antimicrobial susceptibility of PMQR-positive strains.Phylogenetic analysis was conducted by triplex PCR.Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) was used to evaluate the genetic similarity between the PMQR-positive isolates.Results Of the 200 clinical isolates of E.coli,58 (29.0％)were PMQR-positive.And qnr,aac(6')-Ib-cr,oqxAB,and qepA genes were positive in 11 (5.5％),41 (20.5％),16 (8.0％),1 (0.5％) strains,respectively.The genes encoding CTX-M-1,CTX-M-9 and TEM type enzymes was positive in 32 (55.2％),17 (29.3％),and 1 (1.7％) of the PMQR-positive strains,respectively.The blasHv gene was not identified in any isolate.PMQR-positive strains were multi-drug resistant.Phylogenetic analysis indicated that 21 (36.2％),17 (29.3％),11 (19.0％),and 9 (15.5％) of the PMQR-positive strains belonged to group A,group D,group B2 and group B 1,respectively.ERIC-PCR suggested the PMQR-positive isolates belonged to 50 different types.Only one strain was non-typeable.Conclusions Most of the PMQR-related genes in E.coli are aac(6')-Ib-cr,qnr,and oqxAB in our hospital,which are highly relevant to β-1actamase genes.PMQR-positive strains may spread by way of non-clonal dissemination in our hospital.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery from breast cancer surgery under general anaesthesia. Methods A total of 120 patients undergoing unilateral breast cancer radical operation were randomly divided into four groups:group C (infusion of saline, n=30), group D0.5 [infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/(kg·h) during operation, n=30], group D0.6 [dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h), n=30] and group D0.7 [dexmedetomidine 0.7 μg/(kg · h), n=30]. The end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane during surgery and postoperation were observed. The end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane on palinesthesia was recorded. The time from stopping administration of anesthetic drug to palinesthesia and the operation time were recorded. The palinesthesia of patients from general anaesthesia and the degree of emergence agitation of the patient were measured using Riker ’s sedation-agitation scale. The operation time, anesthesia time, intraoperative remifentanil dosage, intraoperative auditory evoked potential index (AAI), sevoflurane inhalation concentration and the corresponding time were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in clinical data, remifentanil dosage, operation time and AAI between four groups. The anesthesia time was longer in group D0.7 than that in the other three groups (P<0.05). Compared to group C, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during surgery, postoperation and palinesthesia were lower and the time of palinesthesia was delayed in groups D0.5, D0.6 and D0.7 (P<0.05). And the time of palinesthesia was delayed in group D0.7 than that of group D0.5 and group D0.6. Compared with group C, the ratio of Riker’s sedation-agitation scale>7 was lower in groups D0.5, D0.6 and D0.7 (P<0.05). The ratio of Riker’s sedation-agitation scale>4 was significantly higher in group D0.6 and group D0.7 than that in group C and group D0.5, but the ratio of score>6 was lower (P<0.05). The ratio of score>3 was higher in group D0.7 than that of other three groups (P<0.05). Intraoperative cardiac tachycardia was found in group D0.6 and group D0.7 (4 cases, 13%and 8cases, 7%). Conclusion Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h) can effectively reduce intraoperative sevoflurane dosage, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery, and the occurrence of agitation in patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Objective To observe the minimum effective local anesthetic dose of intra-articular ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine for analgesia after knee arthroscopy in patients.Methods Seventy-two patients (35 males,37 females,aged 60-75 years,ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ)undergoing knee arthro-scopy under total intravenous anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups (n =36 each):ropiv-acaine group (group R)and ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine group (group DR);Ropivacaine was injected intra-articularly in group C,and dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg with ropivacaine was injected intra-articularly in group DR.ED50 of ropivacaine was determined by the sequence method.VAS score3 two hours after operation was rated as effective.The initial dose was 3 mg and according to the effective or ineffective results in previous patient,a dose of ropivacaine was decreased or increased 1.1 times to the previous patient.BP,HR,VAS Score,and OAA/S score were recorded five minutes preoperatively(T0 ),1 h (T1 ),2 h (T2 ),3 h (T3 ),6 h (T4 ),12 h (T5 ),24 h (T6 ),and 48 h (T7 ) after operation in two groups.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to the BP,HR,VAS Score,and OAA/S score.ED50 of ropivacaine for analgesia after knee arthroscopy was 0.31% (95%CI 0.30%-0.32%),and ED50 of ropivacaine with dexmedetomi-dine for analgesia after knee arthroscopy was 0.14% (95% CI 0.14%-0.1 5%). Conclusion Intra-articular administration of ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine could provide superior postoperative analgesia.The dose of ropivacaine for analgesia after knee arthroscopy should be reduced when combined with dexmedetomidine in patients.
