Occupational exposure limits for hazardous agents in the workplace—Part 1: Chemical hazardous agents (GBZ 2.1—2019) has been implemented since April 1, 2020. The document redefines the evaluation of occupational exposure by introducing a "reduction factor" to adjust the occupational exposure limits of chemical hazardous agents for long working hour systems to ensure a protection level reasonable for the workers and equivalent to conventional occupational exposure limits. This paper discussed common problems encountered in the context of using this adjustment strategy, such as the adjustment being unable to cover all working hours, and the adjustment of values of terms associated with occupational exposure limits. Corresponding solutions were proposed. Working cycle and average exposure time of each working cycle were introduced to evaluate the actual working hours of workers. Regarding involved terms, adjustments of their corresponding values were clarified according to their definitions and application scenarios. Examples were provided for occupational health service providers so that their occupational health practices could be carried out in a more scientific and reasonable manner.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that research on naringin anti-osteoporosis mostly stays in in vitro and in vivo experiments.Understanding the mechanism of related signaling pathways and the expression of related proteins and some specific genes is an important way to deeply understand naringin anti-osteoporosis.At present,traditional Chinese medicine has been confirmed to have a significant role in anti-osteoporosis.Naringin is one of the main active ingredients in Rhizoma Drynariae.Its effectiveness and mechanism of action against osteoporosis have been gradually recognized by scholars,and its clinical and basic research has been gradually emphasized. OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize the research progress of naringin in anti-osteoporosis in vitro and in vivo,thereby providing some ideas for the next step to study its related mechanism of action. METHODS:The relevant literatures included in CNKI and PubMed database were searched with the Chinese search terms of"naringin,osteoporosis,traditional Chinese medicine compound,pathogenesis,signaling pathway,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts"in Chinese and English,respectively.The corresponding criteria were established according to the research needs,and finally 69 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Naringin blocks the increase in the number of osteoclasts and adipocytes,the decrease in the number of osteocytes and osteocalcin(+)cells induced by fructose-rich diet,and promotes the secretion of Sema3A from osteoblasts and osteocytes,thereby enhancing local bone formation and inhibiting osteoclast production by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Naringin is an important way to induce autophagy of osteoblasts,but autophagy-related proteins participate in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.Lack of autophagy in osteoblasts reduces mineralization and leads to an imbalance in the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,which results in bone loss and decreased bone density.The composite scaffold loaded with naringin can be used as a necessary carrier for bone defect repair and has excellent bone repair properties.Naringin can also accelerate the growth of new bone tissue by increasing the local contents of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor.Naringin can regulate bone metabolism and inhibit oxidative stress via ERK,PI3K/Akt and Wnt signaling pathways to improve osteoporosis,which can play a good role in preventing and controlling the disease.However,the depth and breadth of the relevant research is insufficient.Based on the mechanism of the current study,we should investigate the specific mechanisms by which naringin regulates different pathways and inter-pathway interactions in the future,which will be beneficial to the multifaceted development of naringin used in the treatment of osteoporosis..

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).Methods:In this descriptive case series study, we retrospective analyzed the records of PMP patients treated with CRS and HIPEC between January 2013 and June 2023 at Affiliated Cancer Hospital and Institute of Guangzhou Medical University. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) Aged 18 to 75 years and nonpregnant women. (2) Histologically confirmed diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei. (3) Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS)>70. (4) The functions of major organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys can tolerate major surgery for long periods of time. (5) No evidence of extra-abdominal metastasis. Patients with extensive intra-abdominal adhesions or severe infectious diseases were excluded. The main outcomes were overall survival (OS) and postoperative major complications. The postoperative major complications were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0). We used the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score to quantitatively assess the peritoneal metastases and the completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) score at the end of surgery (CCR-0 and CCR-1 considered to be complete CRS).Results:A total of the 186 PMP patients with a median age of 56 (interquartile range extremes (IQRE), 48-64) years were included, 65 (34.9%) males and 121 (65.1%) females. The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score was 28 (20-34). Appendiceal origin accounted for 91.4%. Histological types were low grade in 99 patients (53.2%), high grade in 57 patients (30.6%), and 55 patients (29.6%) received complete cytoreduction (CCR-0/1). The median operative duration was 300 (211-430) minutes for all patients. Treatment-related 30-day mortality was 2.7%; 90-day mortality 4.3%; reoperation 1.6%; and severe morbidity 43.0%. Within the entire series, anemia(27.4%), electrolyte disturbance(11.6%), and hypoalbuminemia(7.5%) were the most frequent major complications (grade 3-4). The incidences of gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage, abdominal bleeding, and abdominal infection were 2.2%, 2.2%, and 4.3%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 38.1 (95%CI:31.2-45.1) months, the 5-year OS was 50.3% (95%CI: 40.7%-59.9%) with a median survival time of 66.1 (95%CI: 43.1-89.1) months. The survival analysis showed that patients with pathological low grade, low PCI, and low CCR score had better survival with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Further stratified into complete and incomplete CRS subgroups, the 5-year OS of the CCR-0 and CCR-1 subgroups was 88.9% (95%CI: 68.3%-100.0%) and 77.6% (95%CI: 62.7%-92.5%), respectively; and 42.0% (95%CI: 29.5%-54.5%) in the CCR-2/3 subgroup. Conclusions:CRS and HIPEC may result in a long-term survival benefit for PMP patients with acceptable perioperative morbidity and mortality. This strategy, when complete CRS is possible, could significantly prolong survival for strictly selected patients at experienced centers.

Articular cartilage injury is common in orthopedics. Improper exercises and physical trauma can lead to the injury of cartilage. Since articular cartilage lacks blood supply, once damaged, it is difficult for the cartilage to repair itself. If not treated effectively, cartilage injuries will develop into severe osteoarthritis affecting the whole joint. Arthroscopic microfracture technique can achieve better therapeutic effects than regular joint debridement, with simple procedures, minimal invasion, and low cost. However, the microfracture technique is limited by the patients′ age (under 45 years old) and the size of the cartilage defect area (less than 4 cm 2) Additionally, postoperative patients need to conduct strict and long-term rehabilitation trainings. Generally speaking, the short-term prognosis of microfracture is satisfactory. However, the repair tissue is mainly composed of fibrocartilage, which is inferior to hyaline cartilage because of its poor mechanical properties and anti-wear abilities. Therefore, the long-term effect is controversial. To conclude, arthroscopic microfracture is a recommended method for young patients with small cartilage defect areas, but its exact long-term clinical effects still need to be verified by further research. This paper reviews the operation protocol, clinical efficacy, and the mechanism of arthroscopic microfracture surgery, and aims to provides theoretical basis for its application in clinical treatment.

【Objective】 To establish a routine screening method for unexpected antibodies of blood donors, analyze the results of centralized screening for unexpected antibody of blood donors in the blood center, and compare the cost of centralized and decentralized screening modes. 【Methods】 A total of 35 591 blood donors were screened for unexpected antibodies from March 31, 2021 to July 31, 2021, using microcolumn gel method. Unexpected antibody screening reactive samples were further confirmed by the Transfusion Research Institute of Shenzhen Blood Center, and the demographic characteristics were further determined through the analysis of unexpected antibody positive population. The direct cost and indirect cost of centralized and decentralized unexpected antibody screening mode were compared. 【Results】 Forty unexpected antibody positive samples were confirmed in Shenzhen, with the positive rate at 0.11%(40/35 591), among which MNS, Rh and Lewis system accounted for 35% (14/40), 32.5% (13/40) and 17.5% (7/40), respectively. Males and females accounted for 45% (18/40) and 55% (22/40), respectively (P<0.01). No significant difference was noticed by age and repeated-donor or not (P>0.05). Unexpected antibody screening in a centralized way saved about 1.16 million yuan per year. 【Conclusion】 It is necessary to carry out unexpected antibody screening for all blood donors, and centralized screening is more economical than decentralized screening.

Objective:To investigate the technique and clinical effect of repairing 2 soft tissue defects on the same finger with a pedicled tandem flap of the first dorsal metatarsal artery and the second toe tibial artery.Methods:From March, 2018 to May, 2020, 8 patients, which were 5 males and 3 females, with 2 soft tissue defects in the same finger, were repaired with the first dorsal metatarsal artery flap in series with the second toe tibial flap. The causes of injury: 4 by crush, 2 by heavy object, and 2 by thermal press. There were 4 defects on index fingers, 2 on middle fingers and 2 on ring fingers. The defects ranged from 2.0 cm×2.5 cm to 2.5 cm×3.0 cm. All defects had exposed bone or tendon at varying degrees and 3 with phalanx fractures. Three patients underwent emergency surgery, the other 5 had sub-emergency surgery which were performed 3 to 5 days after the injury. The size of the flaps was 2.0 cm×2.5 cm to 3.0 cm×3.5 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly in 3 patients and 5 patients received skin grafting. The regular follow-up was performed. The survival of flaps, character, feeling and Total active motion(TAM), recovery of the foot donor area and complications were observed.Results:The operation time ranged from 2.0 to 5.5 hours, with an average of 3.5 hours. No vascular crisis occurred and all flaps survived after the surgery. All patients entered follow-up for 3-20 months, with an average of 8 months. The flaps had a good plump appearance, soft texture, good elasticity, and with a high similarity to the surrounding skin. The TPD of the flaps was 6-15 mm, with an average of 8 mm. The fingers had good flexion and extension functions. The incision in the donor site of the foot healed by first intention. The walking, running and jumping were normal without pain or discomfort.Conclusion:The first dorsal metatarsal artery-second toe tibial artery tandem flap has been used to repair 2 soft tissue defects in same finger. It simplifies the revascularisation of the flap together with exact surgical curative effect.

OBJECTIVE:To investi gate the role of clinical pharmacists in the treatment of delayed excretion of acute renal failure (ARF) with epileptic seizure caused by HD-MTX in a patient ,and to provide reference for rational drug use and pharmaceutical care in such type of patients. METHODS :A patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was given HD-MTX for chemotherapy,and ARF caused by delayed methotrexate excretion occurred on the second day after methotrexate administration. Clinical physicians adjusted the rescue dose and frequency of calcium folinate but the effect was poor. Clinical pharmacists analyzed the causes of delayed methotrexate excretion by reviewing literature and combining with the patient ’s condition. It was suggested to monitor the blood concentration of methotrexate ,strengthen alkalization and hydration ,increase the volume of intravenous sodium bicarbonate from 125 mL to 250 mL,take Sodium bicarbonate tablets orally ,and monitor the pH value of urine (pH value of urine maintained above 7). In addition ,the pharmacist told the patient to drink water as much as possible to ensure the daily urine output reached 3 000 to 4 000 mL. The blood concentration of methotrexate was 16.14 μmol/L 44 h after administration ,which proved to be excretion delay. The patient had epileptic seizure on the 13th day after methotrexate medication. The physician gave sodium valproate 0.8 g intravenously to control epilepsy. The clinical pharmacist conducted pharmaceutical care for the patient ,and found that the compliance of the patient taking Sodium bicarbonate tablets and Sodium valproate tablets orally was not good ,so medication education and pharmaceutical care were conducted ,then the patient accepted and took the drugs on time. RESULTS : The physician adopted the suggestions of the pharmacist to monitor the blood concentration of methotrexate and performed symptomatic treatment. The urine volume of the patient increased ,the edema was reduced ,serum creatinine gradually returned to normal,and renal function recovered gradually ;the symptoms of epilepsy was controlled. CONCLUSIONS :In the treatment process of ARF complicated with epileptic seizure caused by excretion delay of HD-MTX ,the clinical pharmacist assisted physician to improve the treatment plan and conducted pharmaceutical care and medication education for the patient ,therefore ensure the safe and rational use of drugs .
