Primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC)is the second leading cancer that caused death in the world. The morbidity of PHC is increasing year by year,which threaten people's lives and health. Chronic hepatitis B is considered to be an independent risk factor for PHC,and the incidence of PHC is higher in patients who have progressed to liver cirrhosis. We reviewed the domestic and abroad literatures about the risk factors for hepatitis B cirrhosis progressing to PHC from the year of 1992 to 2018,and concluded that HBV-DNA,HBsAg,HBeAg expression,antiviral treatment time,different antiviral drugs,degree of cirrhosis,alanine transaminase and family history were related to the development of PHC from cirrhosis.

Objective To explore the limits of fluid-inversion prepared diffusion weighted imaging (FLIPD) in detection of acute cerebral ischemic lesions.Methods From January 2012 to March 2014,forty-nine patients (33 males,16 females,age (55.6± 12.3) years) clinically diagnosed as transient ischemic attack (TIA) were included.Patients underwent brain MRI (conventional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and FLIPD) within 3 d after the onset of TIA.The detection ability of MRI with the two sequences was compared,and the relative signal intensity (rSI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of acute ischemic lesions based on two sequences were compared.Kappa test and two-sample t test were used to analyze the data.Results A total of 87 acute ischemic lesions were detected in 21 patients by conventional DWI,and 54 were detected in 19 patients by FLIPD (Kappa=0.916,P<0.05).The rSI of ischemic lesions on FLIPD was significantly lower than that on conventional DWI (1.37±0.22 vs 1.57±0.26;t=6.647,P<0.001).The ADC value of ischemic lesions on FLIPD was slightly lower than that on conventional DWI:(0.54 ±0.10) ×10-3 mm2/s vs (0.57±0.13)×10-3 mm2/s (t=2.120,P<0.05).The missed lesions on FLIPD were located in the white matter (n =18),cerebellum and brainstem (n =8),and the cortex (n =7).Conclusions A slight diffuse abnormality may be missed on FLIPD,so this method is not suitable for the detection of acute ischemic lesions.FLIPD technology still needs improvement.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the applicability of three risk assessment methods on occupational health risk assessment of chemical harmful factors in lead-acid battery manufacturers. METHODS: The convenient sampling method was used to select six lead-acid battery enterprises as research subjects. The occupational health risks of jobs with lead smoke,lead dust and sulfuric acid were determined by contact ratio method,comprehensive index method( both are semiquantitative evaluation method) and qualitative risk assessment method. The assessment was carried out,and the obtained risk level was standardized as the risk ratio. The evaluation results of these three methods were compared. RESULTS: For occupational health risk levels of lead smoke,lead dust and sulfuric acid,the contact ratio assessment method were 2-4,and the comprehensive index method were 2-3. The risk ratios after standardization were consistent with the risk level of that before standardization. The result of the qualitative risk assessment method was 2-3,and the standardized risk ratio was 3-4. The risk ratio of each post after standardization increased by one level compared with the risk level before standardization. When( Exposure limit concentration,E)/( Occupational exposure limit,OEL) ≥ 2,the occupational health risk levels of lead smoke,lead dust of qualitative risk assessment method and the contact ratio method were completely consistent,both of which were high risk,which were higher than the medium risk result of the comprehensive index method. When E/OEL < 2,Kappa analysis results showed that the contact ratio method and the comprehensive index method were in good agreement( Kappa = 0. 84,P < 0. 01). The qualitative risk assessment method were inconsistent with the contact ratio method and the comprehensive index method( Kappa value were -0. 22 and -0. 24). CONCLUSION: For occupational health risk assessment of chemical harmful factors in lead-acid battery manufacturers,the comprehensive index method could be used to evaluate the comprehensive results of occupational disease hazard factors and OEL in workplace. A qualitative risk assessment method can be used for assessment without test method or OEL of occupational hazard factor.

Objective:
ICMM occupational health risk assessment model was be used to evaluate the risk of a lead-acid battery enterprise.
Methods:
In November 2016, a lead-acid battery company in Jiangsu Province was selected as the research object. Based on the occupational health survey data and occupational hazard assessment reports, the ICMM risk assessment model was used to conduct occupational health risks in eight key positions of a lead-acid battery enterprise. The risk assessment results was verified by actual test results.
Results:
In the quantitative assessment model, the occupational health risk assessment results for the castings and welding positions exposed to lead smoke, and the occupational health risk assessment results for the grinding and dividing positions exposed to lead dust existed unacceptable risks. The occupational health risk assessment results for the ball-milled and plated positions exposed to lead dust existed tolerable risks. The occupational health risk assessment results for the lead-plated and soldered positions exposed to sulphuric acid pastes and acids existed potential risks. In qualitative evaluation matrix method, the occupational health risk assessment results for the castings and welding positions exposed to lead smoke, and the occupational health risk assessment results for the grinding and dividing positions exposed to lead dust existed high risks, the occupational health risk assessment results for other four key positions were considered to be with low risks.
Conclusion
The key control points for lead smoke in this enterprise were castings and welding positions; The key control points for lead dust were the grinding and separating brush positions. The quantitative assessment model and the qualitative assessment matrix method in the ICMM model were consistent with the actual test results in the eight health risk assessments of occupational hazards in key positions. Therefore, the method could be applied to the assessment of occupational health risks of the lead-acid battery enterprise. According to the results of the assessment, improvements could be made to high-risk positions and the concentration of occupational hazards in high-risk posts could be reduced to better protect the health of workers.
