Objective:To analyze the characteristics and its influencing factors of occupational injury among clinical nuclear medicine staff, and to put forward suggestions for formulating relevant radiation protection intervention measures.Methods:In March 2022, a study was conducted involving 12 medical institutions engaged in nuclear medicine in Gansu Province. The occupational health examination data of 1451 clinical nuclear medicine staff were analyzed. The study subjects were divided into two groups based on the median annual effective dose of external exposure in 2022: Group A (annual effective dose ≤0.2 mSv, n=927) and group B (annual effective dose >0.2 mSv, n=524). The effects of annual effective dose, age, seniority, gender and occupational category on occupational health of clinical nuclear medicine staff were analyzed. Classification variables between groups were compared with Pearson χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the abnormal results. Results:The abnormal rates of white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC) and hemoglobin (HGB) in female clinical nuclear medical staff were higher than those in males, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). The abnormal rates of WBC and HGB in clinical nuclear medicine staff of different occupational categories were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The abnormal rates of RBC and HGB of clinical nuclear medicine staff in annual effective dose group B were higher than those in group A, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression results showed that the abnormal risks of RBC in annual effective dose group B was 2.465 times of that in group A, the abnormal risks of RBC, WBC and HGB in females were 9.354, 2.939 and 6.760 times of those in males, respectively. The abnormal risk of WBC in the radiotherapy group was 2.334 times of that in general radiotherapy group. The abnormal risk of lens in nuclear medicine group was 2.459 times of that in general radiotherapy group. The abnormal risk of ECG and lens in ≥35 years old age group were 1.814 times and 1.969 times of those in <35 years old age group, respectively. The abnormal risk of lens of the ≥10 working years group was 1.899 times of that in the <10 working years group. The risk of lymphocyte micronucleus abnormality in the interventional group was 1.481 times of that in the general radiotherapy group, the risk of lymphocyte micronucleus abnormality in females was 2.215 times of that in males. The risk of lymphocyte micronucleus abnormality and lymphocyte chromosome aberration in ≥35 years old age group were 2.552 and 2.266 times of those in <35 years old age group, respectively. The risk of lymphocyte micronucleus abnormality in the group with≥10 working years was 1.443 times of that in<10 working years group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Long-term low-dose ionizing radiation has a certain effect on the lens and genetic indexes of clinical nuclear medicine staff.

Objective: To evaluate the surgical treatment of calcaneal fracture malunion. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 19 patients with calcaneal fracture malunion (19 feet) who had been treated from January 2011 to September 2017 at Departments of Joint Surgery and Orthopedic Trauma, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University. They were 16 males and 3 females with the average age of 36.2 years (from 22 to 57 years). According to Stephens-Sanders classification, the malunion was defined as type Ⅰ in 10 cases, as type Ⅱ in 6 and as type Ⅲ in 3. The patients with malunion of type Ⅰ were treated by lateral wall osteotomy and decompression of long and short peroneus muscles to preserve the subtalar joint, those with malunion of type Ⅱ by lateral wall osteotomy and decompression of long and short peroneus muscles followed by subtalar joint fusion, and those with malunion of type Ⅲ by lateral wall osteotomy, decompression of long and short peroneus muscles, medial oblique osteotomy for correction of varus deformity and subtalar joint fusion via both the medial and lateral approaches. The Maryland functional scores were used to assess the postoperative surgical efficacy. Results: No such complications happened as incision or implant infection, screw breakage or joint non-fusion. Of the 19 patients, 17 were followed up for 18 to 26 months (mean, 20.5 months). The Maryland scores at the final follow-ups were 90.2±7.3, significantly higher than the preoperative values (38.6±5.5) (t=53.370, P<0.001). Conclusions In the surgical treatment of calcaneal fracture malunion, satisfactory clinical efficacy can be achieved by lateral wall osteotomy and preservation of the subtalar joint for patients with maunion of Stephens-Sanders type Ⅰ, and by subtalar fusion for those with maunion of Stephens-Sanders types Ⅱ-Ⅲ.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) and to explore its risk factors. Methods: The incidence rate of HE in 150 cases with NCPH was evaluated in two hospitals, and 188 cases of compensated cirrhosis patients were taken as control. Logistic regression was used to screen for independent risk factors for HE in patients with NCPH. Results: The incidence of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) in patients with NCPH was not statistically significantly different from that in patients with cirrhosis (4.7% vs. 6.9%, P = 0.682). The incidence of mild hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) was significantly lower than that of cirrhosis patients (32.7% vs. 46.3%, P < 0.05). The presence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, infection and portosystemic venous shunt were the main independent factors for HE in NCPH patients (OR > 1, P < 0.05). Conclusion HE is one of the important complications of NCP, and may be influenced by factors such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, infection and portosystemic venous shunt.
