		                        			Objective To understand the levels and trends of personal doses of occupational external exposure among radiation workers in medical institutions in Huizhou City and to improve radiation protection management. Methods Thermoluminescent dosimetry was employed to monitor the personal doses of occupational external exposure of radiation workers over monitoring cycles spanning three months each. Results From 2019 to 2023, a total of 25 796 monitoring instances were recorded for radiation workers in medical institutions in Huizhou City. Diagnostic radiology workers accounted for the largest proportion of workforce in the occupational categories, followed by interventional radiology workers. The average annual effective dose per person ranged from 0.21 to 0.30 mSv, with an average of 0.26 mSv. The majority of annual effective dose per person was below 1.0 mSv, with no instances exceeding 20 mSv. Among all occupational categories, nuclear medicine workers had the highest average annual effective dose per person at 0.43 mSv, followed by interventional radiology workers at 0.37 mSv. There was a significant difference in the average annual effective dose per person among different occupational categories (P < 0.05), with nuclear medicine and interventional radiology workers having higher doses than workers in diagnostic radiology, dental radiology, and other applications (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The personal dose monitoring results for radiation workers in medical institutions in Huizhou City are at low levels, indicating that the radiation protection in the local medical institutions is sufficient and can effectively protect the occupational health of radiation workers.

		                        			Objective:To develop and validate a predictive model of 28-day mortality in sepsis based on lactate dehydrogenase-to-albumin ratio (LAR).Methods:Sepsis patients diagnosed in the department of intensive care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from August 1, 2017 to September 1, 2022 were retrospective selected. Clinical data, laboratory indicators, disease severity scores [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)] were collected. Patients were divided into death group and survival group according to whether they died at 28 days, and the difference between the two groups was compared. The dataset was randomly divided into training set and validation set according to 7∶3. Lasso regression method was used to screen the risk factors affecting the 28-day death of sepsis patients, and incorporating multivariate Logistic regression analysis (stepwise regression) were included, a prediction model was constructed based on the independent risk factors obtained, and a nomogram was drawn. The nomogram prediction model was established. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to analyze and evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model. Hosmer-Lemeshow test, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the accuracy and clinical practicability of the model, respectively.Results:A total of 394 patients with sepsis were included, with 248 survivors and 146 non-survivors at 28 days. Compared with the survival group, the age, proportion of chronic obstructive pneumonia, respiratory rate, lactic acid, red blood cell distribution width, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, blood potassium, blood phosphorus, LAR, SOFA score, and APACHEⅡ score in the death group were significantly increased, while oxygenation index, monocyte count, platelet count, fibrinogen, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and blood calcium were significantly reduced. In the training set, LAR, age, oxygenation index, blood urea nitrogen, lactic acid, total cholesterol, fibrinogen, blood potassium and blood phosphorus were screened by Lasso regression. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis finally included LAR [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.029, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.014-1.047, P < 0.001], age ( OR = 1.023, 95% CI was 1.005-1.043, P = 0.012), lactic acid ( OR = 1.089, 95% CI was 1.003-1.186, P = 0.043), oxygenation index ( OR = 0.996, 95% CI was 0.993-0.998, P = 0.002), total cholesterol ( OR = 0.662, 95% CI was 0.496-0.865, P = 0.003) and blood potassium ( OR = 1.852, 95% CI was 1.169-2.996, P = 0.010). A total of 6 predictor variables were used to establish a prediction model. ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the model in the training set and validation set were 0.773 (95% CI was 0.715-0.831) and 0.793 (95% CI was 0.703-0.884), which was better than APACHEⅡ score (AUC were 0.699 and 0.745) and SOFA score (AUC were 0.644 and 0.650), and the cut-off values were 0.421 and 0.309, the sensitivity were 62.4% and 82.2%, and the specificity were 82.2% and 68.9%, respectively. The results of Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the predicted results of the model were in good agreement with the actual clinical observation results, and the DCA showed that the model had good clinical application value. Conclusion:The prediction model based on LAR has a good predictive value for 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis and can guide clinical decision-making.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the value of a preoperatively MRI-based deep learning (DL) radiomics machine learning model to distinguish low-grade and high-grade soft tissue sarcomas (STS).Methods:From November 2007 to May 2019, 151 patients with STS confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were enrolled as training sets, and 131 patients in the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University and the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled as external validation sets. According to the French Federation Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer classification (FNCLCC) system, 161 patients with FNCLCC grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ were defined as low-grade and 121 patients with grade Ⅲ were defined as high-grade. The hand-crafted radiomic (HCR) and DL radiomic features of the lesions were extracted respectively. Based on HCR features, DL features, and HCR-DL combined features, respectively, three machine-learning models were established by decision tree, logistic regression, and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the performance of each machine learning model and choose the best one. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to establish a clinical-imaging factors model based on demographics and MRI findings. The nomogram was established by combining the optimal radiomics model and the clinical-imaging model. The AUC was used to evaluate the performance of each model and the DeLong test was used for comparison of AUC between every two models. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank test were used to evaluate the performance of the optimal machine learning model in the risk stratification of progression free survival (PFS) in STS patients.Results:The SVM radiomics model based on HCR-DL combined features had the optimal predicting power with AUC values of 0.931(95%CI 0.889-0.973) in the training set and 0.951 (95%CI 0.904-0.997) in the validation set. The AUC values of the clinical-imaging model were 0.795 (95%CI 0.724-0.867) and 0.615 (95%CI 0.510-0.720), and of the nomogram was 0.875 (95%CI 0.818-0.932) and 0.786 (95%CI 0.701-0.872) in the training and validation sets, respectively. In validation set, the performance of SVM radiomics model was better than those of the nomogram and clinical-imaging models ( Z=3.16, 6.07; P=0.002,<0.001). Using the optimal radiomics model, there was statistically significant in PFS between the high and low risk groups of STS patients (training sets: χ2=43.50, P<0.001; validation sets: χ2=70.50, P<0.001). Conclusion:Preoperative MRI-based DL radiomics machine learning model has accurate prediction performance in differentiating the histopathological grading of STS. The SVM radiomics model based on HCR-DL combined features has the optimal predicting power and was expected to undergo risk stratification of prognosis in STS patients.

		                        			 OBJECTIVE: To explore the combined effect of noise and other occupational hazards on hearing impairment and electrocardiograph(ECG) of workers in automobile manufacturing enterprises. METHODS: A judgment sampling method was used to select 3 434 workers as study subjects from an automobile manufacture enterprise. According to the exposure to different types of occupational hazardous factors, they were divided into noise series group, noise dust group, noise welding dust group, noise benzene series group, noise nitrogen oxide group and control group, with 716, 693, 1 540, 45, 195 and 245 cases in each group, respectively. The subjects were examined with pure-tone hearing test and ECG. RESULTS: The total rate of high frequency hearing loss was 11.2%(385/3 434), and high frequency hearing loss was the main type of hearing loss among workers in each group. The simple high-frequency hearing loss rates of noise group, noise dust group, noise welding dust group, noise benzene series group, noise nitrogen oxide group and the control group were 10.3%, 11.5%, 12.3%, 26.7%, 10.3% and 4.1% respectively, and the rate of total hearing loss were 13.7%, 14.6%, 14.6%, 31.1%, 16.9% and 6.5% respectively. Compared with the control group, the rate of simple high-frequency hearing loss and total hearing loss were higher in the other 5 groups(P<0.005). The rate of high-frequency hearing loss in noise group was lower than that in noise benzene series group(P<0.005). The rate of arrhythmia was 20.9%(717/3 434). Arrhythmia was the main type of ECG abnormality in all groups. The rates of arrhythmia in noise group, noise dust group, noise welding dust group, noise benzene series group, noise nitrogen oxide group and control group were 16.9%, 16.6%, 27.9%, 17.8%, 13.8% and 6.9%, respectively. The rate of arrhythmia in noise welding dust group was higher than that in noise group(P<0.005). CONCLUSION: The combined effect of noise and benzene series increases the risk of high-frequency hearing loss in workers. The combined effect of noise and welding dust increases the risk of arrhythmia in workers.
