Background The adverse effects of long working hours, shift rotation, and job stress on the physical and mental health of occupational populations require urgent attention. Objective To investigate and compare the positive rates of WMSDs between different industries, analyze the exposure status of long working hours, shift rotation, and job stress among key occupational groups, and evaluate the impacts of these factors on WMSDs in the manufacturing and service industries. Methods The study subjects were derived from key occupational populations in Yunnan Province, recruited by the Chinese National Occupational Health Literacy Monitoring Survey in 2022. A cross-sectional design was used for this survey. The key occupational populations were recruited from the secondary industry (manufacturing industry, metal mining and beneficiation industry, and non-metal mining and beneficiation industry) by stratified random sampling and from the tertiary industry (medical and healthcare industry, education industry, environmental sanitation industry, transportation industry, and express/takeaway delivery industry) by proportional probability sampling, and 12014 front-line workers were finally included as survey participants. General information, work-related factors (shift rotation, weekly working hours, job stress, etc.) and WMSDs assessment results were obtained through a web-based self-reported questionnaire, and the associations of long working hours, shift rotation, and job stress with WMSDs were analyzed using χ² test and logistic regression. Results The average positive rate of WMSDs among the key occupational groups in Yunnan Province was 77.2%. The positive rate of WMSDs in the secondary industry group was 69.4%, while it was 81.6% in the tertiary industry group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). Among the eight surveyed sectors, the education sector had the highest positive rate of WMSDs (94.2%). The single-site WMSDs mainly involved the neck, shoulders, and low back. In the secondary industry, WMSDs was reported in 1−2 body parts, while in the tertiary industry, WMSDs was mainly reported in multiple (≥5) body parts. Long working hours (OR: 1.119, 1.165, 1.163, respectively), shift rotation (OR: 1.094, 1.199, 1.230, respectively), and job stress (OR: 1.795, 1.854, 2.006, respectively) were risk factors for WMSDs in the neck, shoulder, or low back, and all three were also risk factors for multi-site WMSDs. Moreover, as the number of involved body parts increased, the effects of long working hours and job stress became more pronounced. For 1-2, 3-4, and 5 or more body parts compared to no pain reported, their OR values were 0.971 (95%CI: 0.871, 1.082), 1.133 (95%CI: 1.004, 1.279), and 1.285 (95%CI: 1.155, 1.429) for long working hours, respectively, and the OR values were 1.009 (95%CI: 0.878, 1.160), 1.360 (95%CI: 1.174, 1.575), and 2.797 (95%CI: 2.471, 3.166) for job stress, respectively. Conclusion The positive rate of WMSDs is higher in the tertiary industry than that in the secondary industry among the key occupational groups in Yunnan Province. Long working hours, rotating shift work, and job stress could significantly increase the risk of WMSDs.

Objective: To investigate the mental health status and related factors among primary and secondary school students in western Yunnan Province, so ao to provide scientific evidences for advancing mental health education. Methods: In June 2024, a stratified cluster sampling method was employed to select 4 584 students from 18 schools across Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Lincang City and Baoshan City three regions in western Yunnan Province. The Mental Health Test (MHT) was used for assessment. Latent class analysis (LCA) and Logistic regression were applied for data classification and related factor analysis respectively. Results: The overall positive detection rate of MHT was 11.81%, with a mean total score of 40.50±19.25. The predominant issues were learning anxiety (58.4%), hypersensitivity tendency (31.1%), and self blame tendency (23.1%). LCA categorized students into four groups:severe psychological problems group (74.4% detection rate), learning anxiety hypersensitivity group ( 16.4 %), learning anxiety physical symptoms group (9.2%), and healthy group (0). Logistic regression revealed that compared with the healthy group, the severe problems group showed higher risks among females ( OR =3.01), junior/senior high school students ( OR =1.88/4.02), and those with authoritarian parenting ( OR =3.54); the anxiety hypersensitivity group had higher risks for females ( OR =1.87), senior high students ( OR =1.54), boarders ( OR =1.31), and authoritarian parenting recipients ( OR = 1.85 ); the anxiety physical symptoms group demonstrated increased risks among females ( OR =2.22), senior high students ( OR =2.58), and authoritarian parenting recipients ( OR =2.74), while lower risks were observed for students with parent/grandparent guardians ( OR =0.38) and non only children ( OR =0.58) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Mental health problems are prominent among students in western Yunnan, with gender, grade level, boarding status, guardian type, and parenting style being key determinants. Recommendations include strengthening mental health education, prioritizing left behind children s psychological well being and promoting healthy development.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ruyi Zhenbaowan（RYZBW）in the treatment of initial and early knee osteoarthritis （KOA） through a prospective multicenter，randomized，double-blind，and placebo-parallel controlled trial. MethodFrom October 13^th， 2021 to December 25^th， 2021， 240 KOA subjects meeting the acceptance criteria were enrolled in 15 sub-centers including Wangjing Hospital， Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences， and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group， with 120 cases in each group. The intervention measures for the observation group were RYZBW + health education， and the intervention measures for the control group were RYZBW placebo + health education. The intervention period in both groups was four weeks， and they were followed up for four weeks after the intervention. The primary outcome measure was the total score of Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index score （WOMAC score）， and the secondary outcome measures were the response rate of visual scale （VAS） pain score， WOMAC sub item scores （joint pain， joint stiffness， and joint function）， quality of life （SF-12） score， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score. Result（1） Efficacy evaluation. The marginal model results showed that the observation group was better than the control group in improving the WOMAC total score and WOMAC pain score in the treatment of KOA with RYZBW， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. There was no significant difference between the two groups in improving VAS score response rate， WOMAC function score， WOMAC stiffness score， SF12-PCS （quality of life-physical health） score， SF12-MCS （quality of life-mental health） score， and TCM syndrome score. （2） Subgroup analysis. ① In terms of VAS score response rate， the response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group for subjects with baseline VAS score of （4， 5］， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. ② In terms of TCM syndrome score， for subjects aged ［56， 60］ and ［61， 65］， the decrease in total TCM syndrome score in the observation group was better than that in the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. ConclusionTibetan medicine RYZBW has good clinical efficacy in improving WOMAC total score， VAS score response rate， WOMAC pain score， WOMAC function score， and TCM syndrome score for patients with initial and early KOA， which can fill the lack of Tibetan medicine RYZBW in the treatment of KOA and make a demonstration study for the inheritance and development of ethnic medicine.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) on the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 168 patients with RRMM who underwent CAR-T therapy at the Department of Hematology, Xuzhou Medical University Hospital from 3 January 2020 to 13 September 2022 were analyzed. Patients were classified into a transplantation group (TG; n=47) and non-transplantation group (NTG; n=121) based on whether or not they had undergone ASCT previously. The objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and the levels of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD56 and natural killer (NK) cells before CAR-T infusion were analyzed by χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier method and independent sample t-test. Results:Among 168 patients with RRMM, 98 (58.3%) were male. The median age of onset was 57 (range 30-70) years. After CAR-T therapy, the ORR of patients was 89.3% (92/103) in the NTG and 72.9% (27/73) in the TG. The ORR of the NTG was better than that of the TG ( χ2=5.71, P=0.017). After 1 year of CAR-T therapy, the ORR of the NTG was 78.1% (75/96), and that of the TG was 59.4% (19/32). The ORR of the NTG was better than that of the TG ( χ2=4.32, P=0.038). The median OS and PFS in the NTG were significantly longer than those in the TG (OS, 30 vs. 20 months; PFS, 26 vs. 12 months; both P<0.05). The CD4 level before CAR-T infusion in the TG was significantly lower than that in the NTG (25.65±13.56 vs. 32.64±17.21; t=-2.15, P=0.034), and there were no significant differences in the counts of CD3, CD8, CD19, CD56, and NK cells between the TG and NTG (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Among patients suffering from RRMM who received CAR-T therapy, patients who did not receive ASCT had significantly better outcomes than those who had received ASCT previously, which may have been related to the CD4 level before receiving CAR-T therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of dapagliflozin on inflammatory cytokines, blood glucose control and cardiac function in elderly with preserved ejection fraction heart failure (HFpEF) combined with type 2 diabetes. Methods A total of 80 elderly HFpEF patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly divided into control group (40 cases) and study group (40 cases). The control group received hypoglycemic and anti-heart failure standard therapy, and the study group received hypoglycemic and anti-heart failure standard therapy and dapagliflozin therapy. Both groups were treated for 6 months. The levels of inflammatory factors, blood glucose control, myocardial markers, exercise endurance [6 min walking distance (6MWD)], cardiac ultrasound related indexes and adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups. Results After 6 months of treatment, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FPG), amino terminal B-type brain natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) and hypersensitive troponin (hs-TNT) of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05); the 6MWD and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of the study group were higher than those of the control group, and the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), right atrial and right ventricular diameter, left atrial and left ventricular diameter, right ventricular wall thickness and pulmonary artery pressure of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The use of dapagliflozin in the treatment of elderly HFpE patients complicated with type 2diabetes can effectively control their blood sugar level, reduce inflammation, improve exercise endurance, and improve patients' heart function without increasing adverse drug reactions.

Tanshinones are one of the main effective components of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which play important roles in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Microbial heterogony production of tanshinones can provide a large number of raw materials for the production of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) preparations containing S. miltiorrhiza, reduce the extraction cost, and relieve the pressure of clinical medication. The biosynthetic pathway of tanshinones contains multiple P450 enzymes, and the catalytic element with high efficiency is the basis of microbial production of tanshinones. In this study, the protein modification of CYP76AK1, a key P450-C20 hydroxylase in tanshinone pathway, was researched. The protein modeling methods SWISS-MODEL, Robetta, and AlphaFold2 were used, and the protein model was analyzed to obtain the reliable protein structure. The semi-rational design of mutant protein was carried out by molecular docking and homologous alignment. The key amino acid sites affecting the oxidation activity of CYP76AK1 were identified by molecular docking. The function of the obtained mutations was studied with yeast expression system, and the CYP76AK1 mutations with continuous oxidation function to 11-hydroxysugiol were obtained. Four key amino acid sites that affected the oxidation acti-vity were analyzed, and the reliability of three protein modeling methods was analyzed according to the mutation results. The effective protein modification sites of CYP76AK1 were reported for the first time in this study, which provides a catalytic element for different oxidation activities at C20 site for the study of the synthetic biology of tanshinones and lays a foundation for the analysis of the conti-nuous oxidation mechanism of P450-C20 modification.
