Objective To investigate the situation and influencing factors of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) among dust-exposed workers in a wooden furniture manufacturing enterprise. Methods A total of 562 dust-exposed workers from a wooden furniture enterprise in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using the convenience sampling method. The result of health-status questionnaire and occupational medical examinations among the participants were studied, and the influencing factors of PRISm were studied using the binary logistic regression analysis method. Results The detection rate of PRISm was 22.1% (124/562) among the study subjects. Binary logistic regression result showed that male workers had a higher risk of PRISm than female workers (P<0.01). Current smokers had a higher risk of PRISm than non-smokers (P<0.05). Workers with longer duration of exposure to occupational hazards had a higher risk of PRISm (P<0.05), those with higher grade of small-airway dysfunction had a higher risk of PRISm (P<0.01). In terms of body mass index, overweight or obese workers showed a higher detection rate of PRISm than those with normal weight (P<0.01). Greater amount of smoking pack per year had a higher risk of PRISm (P<0.01). Conclusion Dust-exposed workers in the wooden furniture manufacturing industry show a relatively high detection rate of PRISm. Male, current smoker, longer duration of exposure to occupational hazards, small airway dysfunction, overweight or obese, and smoking pack per year are influencing factors of PRISm among the dust-exposed workers in the wooden furniture manufacturing industry.

OBJECTIVE To establish the UHPLC fingerprint of Miao Medicine Ficus tikoua Bur., study its spectrum-effect relationship with antioxidant activity, and screen the antioxidant active components. METHODS UHPLC was used to establish the fingerprint of Ficus tikoua Bur.. Evaluation System for Similarity of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Chinese Herbal Medicine (Version 2012) was used to evaluate the similarity and identify the common peaks. SPSS 16.0 and SIMCA 14.1 software were used for hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA) and principal component analysis(PCA). The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) free radical scavenging method, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt(ABTS) free radical scavenging method and total antioxidant capacity method were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of 16 batches of ethanol extracts from Ficus tikoua Bur. Three methods including grey relational analysis(GRA), bivariate correlation analysis and partial least squares regression(PLSR) were used to study the spectrum-effect relationship. RESULTS The UHPLC fingerprints of 16 batches of Ficus tikoua Bur. were established and 13 common peaks were identified. The similarities were 0.613−0.996. At the same time, it was identified that peak 9 was rutin, peak 10 was isoquercetin, and peak 12 was narcissin. The results of HCA showed that the samples were clustered into two categories, which was consistent with the PCA results. Sixteen batches of Ficus tikoua Bur. had different degrees of antioxidant activity. The results of GRA showed that the correlation between 13 common peaks and antioxidant activity was >0.8, and all of them had high correlation. The results of bivariate correlation analysis and PLSR analysis showed that the correlation coefficient and regression coefficient of peak 5, peak 9(rutin), peak 10(isoquercetin), peak 11 and peak 12(narcissin) were positively correlated with antioxidant activity, and the contribution rate was larger(variable importance in projection>1), which were the main active components of antioxidant activity. CONCLUSION All the 16 batches of Ficus tikoua Bur. have good antioxidant activity, and its antioxidant effect is the result of the synergistic action of the internal antioxidant component group. The components corresponding to the common peaks 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 are closely related to their antioxidant activity, revealing the pharmacodynamic material basis of the antioxidant activity of Ficus tikoua Bur.

Objective : To investigate the changes of lipid biomarkers and lipid metabolic pathways related to liver injury in BTBR ob/ob mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus by biochemical and metabolomics methods． Methods : 16 BTBR wild-type (WT) mice (WT group) and 14 BTBR ob/ob obese mice (ob / ob group) at 7 weeks of age were selected and fed in SPF environment until 20 weeks of age．Liver injury was compared between the two groups : The activities of mitochondrial respiratory enzyme complex in liver tissue were detected by high-resolution respirators，and the lipid metabolomic analysis of liver tissue samples in the two groups of mice was performed by ultra-perform- ance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry，mainly detecting endogenous metabolites. Principal component analysis (PCA) ，orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis ( OPLS-DA) and other models were used to screen potential biomarkers，and the metabolic pathway analysis of the identified metabolites was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5. 0 . Results : Compared with the WT group，the ob / ob group had significantly increased body weight，fasting blood glucose ，serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase ( AST) ，alanine amin- otransferase (ALT) ，low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and cholesterol ( CHO) (P＜0. 01) ．Liver hematoxylin-eo- sin staining (HE) staining showed that the mice in ob / ob group had structural disorder of liver lobules，swelling of liver cells ，a large number of fat vacuoles in cells ，diffuse distribution and loose cytoplasm． Oil red O staining showed that there was a large amount of lipid deposition in the hepatocytes ofob/ob mice．The high resolution spi- rometer showed that the ob/ob mice had mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorder and the activity of complex Ⅳ decreased．Lipid metabolomic analysis showed that the lipid metabolic profile of ob/ob mice changed，and the metabolic pathways involved mainly included glycerophospholipid metabolism，glycosylphosphatidylinositol ( GPI) anchor biosynthesis，triglyceride metabolism，linoleic acid metabolism，α-linolenic acid metabolism and arachidon- ic acid metabolism． Conclusion The liver injury of ob / ob group mice may be related to the disorder of lipid me- tabolism，in which the disorder of glycerophospholipid metabolism is the most critical metabolic pathway.

Objective:To detect the prevalence of mosaic loss of chromosome Y in adult men in ten study areas in China, describe the epidemiological distribution of mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) carriers and assess its prospective association with lung cancer.Methods:Based on the data from baseline survey, genetic analysis and follow-up (as of December 31, 2018) from China Kadoorie Biobank, we used Mosaic Chromosomal Alterations pipeline to detect mLOY carriers in 10 areas in China and described the epidemiological characteristics of mLOY carriers in adult men, including age, area distribution, lifestyle and disease history. We used multivariate logistic regression model to identify the potential relevant factor of mLOY. Cox proportional hazard regression model was fitted to assess the prospective association of mLOY with lung cancer. Stratification analysis were conducted to evaluate the potential modification effects of smoking and age. We also conducted mediation analysis to assess the mediating effect of mLOY in the association between smoking and lung cancer.Results:A total of 42 859 adult men were included in our analysis, in whom 2 458 mLOY carriers were detected (5.7%). The detection rate increased with age ( P<0.05). The detection rate was higher in urban area (7.3%±0.2%) than that in rural area (4.7%±0.1%). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that smoking might be a risk factor for the detection of mLOY ( OR=1.49, 95% CI:1.36-1.64). After follow-up for average 11.1 years, 1 041 lung cancer cases were observed. The prospective analysis showed that mLOY carriers had an increased risk for lung cancer by 24% compared with non-mLOY carriers ( HR=1.24, 95% CI:1.01-1.52) and expanded mLOY carriers (mLOY cell proportion ≥10%) had an increased risk for lung cancer by 50% ( HR=1.50, 95% CI:1.13-2.00). Stratification analysis showed no modification effects of smoking and age in the association between mLOY and lung cancer (interaction P>0.05). Mediation analysis showed that mLOY could be a mediating factor in the association between smoking and lung cancer, the estimated effect was 0.09 (0.01-0.17). Conclusions:There were significant differences in the detection rate of mLOY in adult men with different social-economic characteristics and lifestyles in ten areas in China. Besides, mLOY carriers, especially expanded mLOY carriers, had increased risk for lung cancer and mLOY might be a mediating factor in the association between smoking and lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of inhibitory effect of mollugin on hepatocellular carcinoma based on the ferroptosis pathway.Methods HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into control group,mollugin low-(10 μmol/L),medium-(20 μmol/L),and high-dosage(40 μmol/L)groups based on the inhibitory concentration of 50%.The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method,cytotoxicity was detected by LDH kit,and the ability of cell colony formation was observed by clone formation assay,the contents of GSH,MDA,ROS,SOD,superoxide,lipid peroxide and MMP were detected,the protein expression of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1(FSP1),GTP cyclohydrolase 1(GCH1),dihydroorotate dehydrogenase(DHODH)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)were detected by Western blot,the mRNA expression of FSP1,DHODH,GCH1 and GPX4 were detected using RT-qPCR.The effect of mollugin on cell viability and GSH,MDA contents of hepatocellular carcinoma cells were observed under overexpression and silencing of GPX4 by mollugin.Results The medium-and high-dose of mollugin could reduce the number of clone formation in HepG2 cells,decrease the GSH content and SOD activity of cells,increase the content of MDA,superoxide,lipid peroxides and ROS,and decreased MMP(P<0.001).The intervention of mollugin had no significant effect on the expressions of FSP1,GCH1,DHODH protein and mRNA in HepG2 cells,but could decrease the expression of GPX4 protein and mRNA(P<0.001).Overexpression and silencing experiments confirmed that GPX4 was the core target for the regulation of ferroptosis by mollugin.Conclusion Mollugin mainly exerts its anti-liver cancer effect by regulating GPX4 mediated ferroptosis.

Objective:The epidemiological and host animal pathogen data of leptospirosis in the population of Zhejiang Province in 2023 were analyzed, providing scientific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies of leptospirosis.Methods:The data of human leptospirosis in the population were collected from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, and analyzed using descriptive epidemiological methods. The data on isolation, culture, and nucleic acid testing of Leptospira pathogens from mouse kidneys, frog kidneys, pig kidneys, and duck kidneys as well as duck serum antibody data were collected from Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention "Leptospirosis Surveillance Project of Zhejiang Province". The carrying and changing status of Leptospira epidemic microbiota in populations and host animals were analyzed. Results:In 2023, a total of 83 cases of leptospirosis were reported in Zhejiang Province, with a incidence rate of 0.126 2/ 100 000, aged (62.66 ± 11.31) years, including 68 males and 15 females. Leptospirosis cases were reported in 11 cities, mainly concentrated in the southern cities of Wenzhou City, Lishui City and Taizhou City(a total of 68 cases), accounting for 81.93% of the total number of cases. August to October were high incidence months for leptospirosis (a total of 70 cases), accounting for 84.34% of the total number cases. The male to female ratio of patients was 4.53 ∶ 1.00, and all were adults ≥20 years old, the middle and old people aged 45 - 79 years were the high-risk population (a total of 77 cases), accounting for 92.77% of the total number of cases. The patient's occupation was mainly farmers, with a total of 54 cases, accounting for 65.06% of the total number cases. The shortest time from onset to initial diagnosis for patients with leptospirosis was 0 day, and the longest was 13 days. The shortest time from initial diagnosis to confirmed diagnosis was 0 day, and the longest was 16 days. The 72.29% of the leptospirosis cases (60 cases) had a history of field labor or suspected contact with contaminated water within one month before the onset of the disease, and 18.07% of the leptospirosis cases (15 cases) had a history of contact with animals such as mice, frogs, pigs, cows, dogs, fish or ducks, or their excreta within one month before the onset of the disease. The average nucleic acid positive rate of host animals with leptospirosis was 5.92% (31/524) in mouse kidney, 6.74% (36/534) in frog kidney, and 0.66% (1/151) in pig kidney. The isolation and culture of leptospirosis from duck kidney, nucleic acid detection, and antibody detection in duck blood were all negative. The leptospirosis bacteria detected in human population were serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae (3 samples) and Hebdomadis (4 samples), and the bacteria group detected in host animals was serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae (3 samples). Conclusions:The outbreak of leptospirosis in Zhejiang Province mainly occurs in the summer and autumn, with the affected areas mainly concentrated in the southern region of Zhejiang Province. The affected population is mainly middle-aged and elderly males, and the population carrying Leptospira is still mainly composed of the serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae and the Hebdomadis, with the host animal being the serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae.

In recent years, clinical applications of robotic thyroid surgery have been gradually promoted with the continuous improvement of the da Vinci robotic surgical system. Unlike traditional open surgery, robotic thyroid surgery mainly adopts remote access, which has many advantages, such as magnified high-definition 3D view and hand vibration stabilization. The rates and causes of postoperative complications differ due to different approaches, view angles, and operation sequences. This paper presents the literature on both transoral and bilateral areolar axillary approaches in robotic thyroid surgery, focusing on five common complications under both approaches, including laryngeal recurrent nerve injury and hypoparathyroidism, to provide theoretical support for the standardization of robotic thyroid surgery.
