Objective To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in passenger drivers and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 951 passenger drivers in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects using the judgmental sampling method. A Musculoskeletal Injury Questionnaire was employed to assess the prevalence of WMSDs in the past year. Results The prevalence of WMSDs in passenger drivers was 41.11%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that married drivers had a higher risk of WMSDs than single drivers (P<0.05). The lower the frequency of physical exercise, the longer the driving time per week, the longer the continuous driving time, the more restricted the driving working space, the poorer the foot comfort during driving, and the more affected the normal meal, the higher the risk of WMSDs (all P<0.05). The risk of WMSDs in drivers with sleep time ≤ 8.0 h/d was higher than that in drivers with sleep time > 8.0 h/d (P<0.01), and the risk of WMSDs in drivers with the same posture for a long time on the shoulder was higher than that in drivers without this poor working posture (P<0.01). Conclusion WMSDs were prevalent among passenger drivers, which was associated with demographic and adverse ergonomic factors. Intervention on lifestyle and adverse ergonomic factors could further reduce the risk of WMSDs of passenger drivers.

Objective To evaluate the performance of two molecular point-of-care testing(POCT)prod-ucts in the diagnosis of influenza A virus(Flu A)and influenza B virus(Flu B)of clinical samples,and pre-liminarily evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of the changes of infection-related indicators in peripheral blood.Methods A total of 491 oropharyngeal swabs from patients with influenza-like symptoms who were treated in the hospital were recruited into this study from November 1,2019 to June 30,2023.These swabs were collected using reverse transcription real-time quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR),and two POCT molecular products,XpertTM Xpress Flu/RSV and EasyNAT? Flu Assay,respectively.The diagnostic performance of two POCT molecular products was analyzed using RT-qPCR reaction as a standard.According to the results of RT-qPCR method,the subjects were divided into Flu A positive group,Flu B positive group and negative group(both Flu A and Flu B were negative).The levels of indicators in pe-ripheral blood of the three groups were compared to evaluate the value of these indicators in the clinical diag-nosis of Flu A and Flu B.Results Among the 491 patient specimens,the XpertTM Xpress Flu/RSV assay showed the sensitivity for Flu A was 96.88%,and the specificity was 99.75%,and the sensitivity for Flu B was 100.00%,and the specificity was 100.00%.EasyNAT? Flu Assay assay showed the sensitivity for Flu A was 94.79%,and the specificity was 96.81%,and the sensitivity for Flu B was 100.00%,and the specificity was 100.00%.And two POCT molecular methods performed well consistency(Kappa value was 0.974).There was no significant difference in the levels of C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A among the negative group,Flu A positive group,and Flu B positive group(P>0.05).But the levels of white blood cell count in the negative group were higher than those in the Flu A positive group and Flu B positive group(P<0.01).Conclusion In this paper,two typical molecular POCT products are studied.Their sensitivity and specificity are highly consistent with the results of RT-qPCR.Molecular POCT products have the advantages of flexibil-ity and rapidity,which are of great value for the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment.Molecular detection combined with peripheral blood infection related indicators is helpful for the early diagnosis of influ-enza virus infectious diseases.

It can provide a basis for the establishment of the quality standard of Microctis Folium, as well as for safety and quality research.

Objective:To explore the current situation of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma, and to analyze the latent profile categories and influencing factors, so as to provide the reference for the formulation of prevention and intervention.Methods:Using convenient sampling method, school-age children with asthma and their parents treated in the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University from March to August 2023 were selected as the study objects. The General Data Questionnaire, Parent Fear of Progression Scale, Childhood Asthma Control Test, and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate school-age children with asthma and their parents. Latent profile analysis was performed on the fear of disease progression among parents of school-age children with asthma, and χ2 test and binary Logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors. Results:A total of 210 parents of the children were included with 51 fathers and 159 mothers.The age distribution was 20-30 years old with 42 parents, 31-40 years old with 112 parents, 41-50 years old with 56 parents. In 210 children with asthma, there were 123 males and 87 females, with 141 cases aged<10 years old and 69 cases aged ≥10 years old. The fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma could be divided into two potential profile categories: "psychological dysfunction group (46.7%, 98/210)" and "psychological health good group (53.3%, 112/210)". The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that asthma family history, combined allergic rhinitis, child-parent relationship, marital status, asthma symptom control level, and social support level were the influencing factors of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma( OR values were 0.925-10.010, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma is at a moderate level, and there are obvious different classification characteristics. In the future, targeted and precise prevention and intervention should be implemented according to the category characteristics of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of blood flow velocity changes in superior mesenteric artery (SMA) monitored by ultrasound on feeding intolerance (FI) of enteral nutrition (EN) in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Methods:One-hundred and eight mechanically ventilated patients in Intensive Care Department of the Second People's Hospital of Nantong from February 2022 to February 2023 were enrolled. SMA blood flow parameters and enteral nutrition tolerance were monitored on the 1st,3rd,and 7th day (D1,D3,D7) after initiation of EN. Differences in SMA blood flow parameters between tolerant and intolerant group,as well as intolerant subgroups (mild,moderate,and severe) were analyzed. The predictive value of SMA blood flow parameters for FI and the risk factors of FI were also evaluated,and the relationship between SMA blood flow parameters and intestinal barrier function were preliminarily explored . Result:The SMA blood flow velocity parameters,peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end diastolic velocity (EDV),were higher at D1,D3,and D7 in the tolerant groups compared to the intolerant group (all P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that as the degree of intolerance increased,PSV gradually decreased. EDV at D1,D3,and D7 also gradually decreased with the increased severity of FI (all P<0.05);The AUC of PSV and EDV predicting FI in D1,D3,and D7 patients were 0.752 (95％ CI:0.660～0.830) and 0.773 (95％ CI:0.682～0.848),0.774 (95％ CI:0.683～0.849) and 0.796 (95％ CI:0.708～0.868),0.743 (95％ CI:0.650～0.822) and 0.713 (95％ CI:0.618～0.796). respectively. PSV,norepinephrine use,and blood phosphorus levels were independent prognostic factors for FI at D3. Patients with FI showed a negative correlation between PSV,EDV,and diamine oxidase (PSV:r=-0.857,P<0.001;EDV:r=-0.795,P<0.001). Conclusion:Changes in blood flow velocity in the superior mesenteric artery by ultrasound monitoring can effectively predict enteral nutrition intolerance in mechanically ventilated patients,it might have potential clinical application values in ICU patients.
