Objective:
To quantitatively compare five occupational health risk assessment models in assessing silica dust hazard risk in small open pits, so as to provide the reference for the research of occupational health risk assessment methodology
Methods :
Seven small open pits were selected as the evaluation sites. The models from Singapore, the United Kingdom's Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Essentials ( COSHH Essentials ), Australia, Romania, and the International Council on Mining and Metals ( ICMM ) were applied to assessing the occupational health risk of the workers exposed to silica dust. The risk ratios ( RRs ) were calculated, and the parallelism, accuracy and correlation of the evaluation results of the five models were compared.
Results :
The RRs of the Singaporean model, COSHH model, Romanian model, Australian model and ICMM model were 0.8, 1.0, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8, respectively. The Singaporean model and the Australian model were able to distinguish transport drivers from sprinkler drivers in the health risk exposed to silica dust, which was consistent with the actual risk of the two posts. Except for COSHH model, the RRs of the other four models were positively correlated ( P<0.05 ); the RRs were all positively correlated with concentration ratios ( CRs ) ( P<0.05 ), and the correlation coefficient between RRs and CRs of the Singaporean model was the largest (0.801).
Conclusion
Among the five models, the Singaporean model can more accurately evaluate the hazard risk of silica dust in posts of open pits, and has a good correlation with the other models.

Objective:To investigate the changes of plasma prothrombin fragment 1+ 2 (F 1+2), tissue factor positive microparticle (TF+ MP) and thrombin antithrombin complex (TAT) level before and after the treatment of low molecular weight heparin combined with reteplase in patients with malignant tumor and lower extremity venous thrombosis. Methods:From July 2016 to October 2019, 64 patients with malignant tumors and lower extremity venous thrombosis in the Third Hospital of Changsha were selected, they were divided into observation group ( n=32) and control group ( n=32) by simple randomization. The control group was treated with low molecular heparin, and the observation group was treated with low molecular heparin combined with reteplase. The efficacy, clinical symptom improvement time, incidence of adverse reactions, difference in lower limb circumference, blood flow velocity, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), plasma F 1+2, TF+ MP, TAT level before and after treatment were compared between the two groups; the correlations of plasma F 1+2, TF+ MP, and TAT level with clinical symptom improvement time, peripheral diameter difference of lower extremity, blood flow velocity, APTT, and PT were analyzed. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group (87.50%) was higher than that of the control group (65.63%) ( P<0.05); The improvement time of clinical symptoms in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group ( P<0.05); After treatment, the peripheral limb diameter difference of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the blood flow velocity was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05); The APTT and PT in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after treatment ( P<0.05); The plasma F 1+2, TF+ MP, and TAT level in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after treatment ( P<0.05); The levels of plasma F 1+2, TF+ MP, and TAT were positively correlated with symptom improvement time and lower limb circumference difference, and negatively correlated with blood flow velocity, APTT, and PT ( P<0.05); There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions (18.75%) between the observation group and the control group (12.50%) during the treatment period ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Plasma F 1+2, TF+ MP, and TAT expression in patients with malignant tumors and venous thrombosis of the lower extremity can be used as biological indicators to evaluate the patient's condition and treatment effect. Low molecular weight heparin combined with reteplase can significantly reduce the plasma F 1+2, TF+ MP and TAT level, promote the improvement of symptoms, effectively reduce the peripheral diameter difference of lower extremity, improve blood flow velocity and coagulation function, and has a significant effect.

Objective To study the effects of histone deacertylase inhibitor (TSA) on promoter methylation and expression of E-cadherin gene in a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC7721. Methods Hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 was treated with TSA (300 nm/L), MTT method was used to investigate the growth inhibition ratio, TUNNL was conducted to measure the apoptosis ratio, methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was employed to detect changes in the CpG island methylation of E-cad promoter region, Western blot technique was used to detect the expression of E-cad gene and DNMT3b before and after TSA treatment, respectively. Results TSA decreases the SMMC-7721 cell viability and induces apoptosis, the growth inhibition ratio was 21.85% compared with control group. The apoptosis ratio of control group was (4.69±0.56)% ,the apoptosis ratio of TSA treatment group was (14.94±0.91)%. The apoptosis ratio of TSA treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group(P = 0.000). Before treated with TSA, the CpG island of E-cad promoter region was methylated, and the expression of E-cad was negative. TSA treatment induces demethylation of the CpG island in E-cad promoter region, causes the re-expression of E-cad. TSA reduces the expression of DNMT3b. Conclusions TSA decreases the SMMC-7721 cell viability and induces apoptosis, reverses the methylation status of E-cad promoter region, and resumes E-cad gene expression. TSA may induce demethylation through down-regulating the expression of DNMT3b.
