Objective:To further study the causes of acute occupational poisoning accidents, and to provide scientific basis and decision support for the prevention of accidents in advance.Methods:From September 2022 to May 2023, the literature was searched and 232 cases of acute occupational poisoning cases occurred from 2013 to 2022 were collected. The causal nodes of the accident were determined according to the expert score, and the interpretative structural model (ISM) was used to construct the correlation model between the causal nodes to obtain the hierarchical relationship between the factors. The influence of each causal node on the occurrence of acute occupational poisoning accidents was studied by using Bayesian network (BN), and the relationship and influence among the causal nodes were analyzed by Netica 5.18 software to establish the pre-prevention model of acute occupational poisoning accidents and identify the key causal factors.Results:A total of 23, 203, and 6 cases of significant, large, and medium acute occupational poisoning accidents were included, of which 179, 29, and 24 cases were asphyxiating gas, irritating gas, and mixed gas, respectively. ISM of acute occupational poisoning accidents divided the causal factors into a 7-layer and 3-level hierarchical structure model. Among them, operation conditions, protective measures, ventilation equipment, hidden trouble investigation, emergency management, illegal operation, equipment and facilities, and blind rescue were the direct causes of the occurrence and expansion of accidents. Warning devices, inspection situation, safety education situation, safety operation procedures, and technology in the production process were indirect influences that lead to the occurrence and expansion of accidents. Safety production responsibility system, enterprise supervision and management and government supervision were the deep-rooted influences. BN reasoning showed that the maximum probability causal chain of acute occupational poisoning accidents was as follows: safety production responsibility system→enterprise supervision and management→safety education and training→protective measures→accident occurrence. The key factors leading to the occurrence of acute occupational poisoning accidents were inadequate protective measures, equipment and facility failures, operational errors, ventilation equipment not being used properly and improper emergency management.Conclusion:In the prevention of acute occupational poisoning accidents, it is necessary to correctly use protective measures, test equipment and facilities before operation, operate according to regulations, ensure the normal use of ventilation equipment, and strengthen emergency management, so as to reduce the incidence of acute occupational poisoning accidents.

Objective To investigate the independent risk factors for postoperative deep vein thrombosis in lung cancer patients and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods Clinical data of 354 inpatients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer in Department of Thoracic Surgery of First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University between May 2019 and May 2023 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.LASSO regression was used to screen potential factors,followed by multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors,and then a nomogram prediction model was constructed.Calibration curves,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and decision curves were drawn to evaluate the model's calibration,discrimination,sensitivity,specificity,and clinical utility.The net reclassification improvement(NRI)and integrated discrimination improvement(IDI)indices were employed to compare the predictive performance of the constructed model with the Caprini score for outcome events.Results LASSO regression identified 17 potential influencing factors.Multivariate regression analysis showed that D-dimer,central venous catheter(CVC)placement,and lower extremity varicose veins were independent risk factors for postoperative DVT in lung cancer patients(P＜0.05).Calibration curve analysis showed the model had good agreement between the predicted and observed values.ROC curve analysis indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of the model was 0.812 and 0.963,respectively,with an area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.912(95％CI:0.840～0.983).In comparison,the Caprini model had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.625 and 0.860,respectively,with an AUC value of 0.752(95％CI:0.657～0.846).The NRI and IDI for the model group compared to the Caprini model were 0.709 and 0.431,respectively.Decision curve analysis showed that the net benefit of applying the model from this study was higher than that of the Caprini model.Conclusion D-dimer,CVC,and varicose veins of lower extremities are independent risk factors for DVT after thoracoscopic surgery in patients with lung cancer.Our constructed nomogram model can effectively predict the risk of DVT after thoracoscopic surgery in patients with lung cancer.

Objective:To explore the impact of Cullin5 on the radiosensitivity of glioblastoma multiforme cell and its underlying mechanisms.Methods:Glioblastoma U251 cells were transfected with flag-NC plasmids and overexpression plasmids (flag-Cullin5), and divided into the flag-NC group and flag-Cullin5 group. The expression levels of Cullin5 and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) mRNA and protein were assessed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. After exposing U251 cells to 0, 2, 4, and 8 Gy X-ray radiation, cell viability was evaluated via the CCK-8 assay, and apoptosis rates were measured using flow cytometry. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to detect the interaction between Cullin5 and PD-L1, and ubiquitination assays were conducted to investigate the ubiquitination effect of Cullin5 on PD-L1. Cells were further transfected with PD-L1 overexpression (oe-PD-L1) and flag-Cullin5 and assigned into the flag-Cullin5 group, flag-Cullin5+oe-NC group, and flag-Cullin5+oe-PD-L1 group. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression levels of Cullin5 and PD-L1 mRNA and protein post-X-ray radiation in these groups. Cell survival rates and apoptosis rates were measured following radiation. Statistical differences between two or among multiple groups were analyzed using LSD- t test or one-way ANOVA. Results:Compared with the flag-NC group, the flag-Cullin5 group showed increased expression levels of Cullin5 mRNA and protein, and decreased PD-L1 protein expression (all P<0.05). Following radiation doses of 4 and 8 Gy, there was a reduction in cell survival rates and an increase in apoptosis rates (both P<0.05). Co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed the presence of PD-L1 in the Cullin5 immunoprecipitate and vice versa. Ubiquitination levels of PD-L1 protein were higher in the flag-Cullin5 group compared to those in the flag-NC group. Additionally, compared to the flag-Cullin5 group, the flag-Cullin5+oe-PD-L1 group exhibited increased PD-L1 mRNA and protein levels (both P<0.05), and following radiation doses of 4 and 8 Gy, these cells showed higher survival rates and lower apoptosis rates (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Cullin5 enhances the radiosensitivity of glioblastoma multiforme cells to radiation therapy through mediating the ubiquitination degradation of PD-L1.
