Objective To analyze the micronucleus rate of radiation workers and to provide accurate occupational health monitoring basis in radiation workers exposed to low-level ionizing radiation for a long time. Methods The radiation group consisted of 353 radiation workers who had been exposed to ionizing radiation during work, while the control group consisted of 41 radiation workers who had not yet been exposed to ionizing radiation before work. The cytokinesis-block micronucleus method was used to determine the micronucleus rate. Results The average micronucleus rate in the radiation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (t = −2.95, P < 0.05). In the radiation group, the micronucleus rate gradually increased with age, and the difference was statistically significant (F = 8.36, P < 0.05). The micronucleus rates of workers with > 10 and > 30 years of service were significantly higher than those of workers with < 10 years of service (χ2 = −44.79, −60.47, P < 0.05). The micronucleus rate in females was significantly higher than that in males (t = 3.93, P < 0.05). The micronucleus rates in the diagnostic radiology group and the industrial detection group were significantly higher than that in the control group (t = 3.51, 3.65, P < 0.05). Conclusion The micronucleus rate has increased among the radiation workers exposed to low-level ionizing radiation for a long time. It is necessary to further strengthen occupational health monitoring and radiation protection education for radiation workers, especially the medical workers that constitute the largest population of radiation exposure workers.

OBJECTIVE To extract and isolate the four chemical components of Yao medicine Ventilago leiocarpa, and to conduct identification and content determination for them. METHODS The chemical components of V. leiocarpa were separated and purified by solvent extraction, extraction, silica gel column chromatography and preparative liquid chromatography; then the chemical structures of four isolated compounds were identified based on their spectral data. The contents of four components were determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)-quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS) method, with the following chromatographic conditions: chromatographic column was Echway GowonTM C18 (250 mm× 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid for gradient elution; the detection wavelength was 269 nm, and the column temperature was 25 ℃ . Using emodin as internal reference, the relative correction factors (fi/s) between emodin and the other 3 components were established and used to calculate the content. At the same time, the content of each component was calculated with the external standard method (ESM), and the differences between these two methods were compared. RESULTS Four compounds were isolated from V. leiocarpa, and they were identified as emodin, frangulin A, pleuropyrone A, emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside. The result of HPLC-QAMS showed that the fi/s of pleuropyrone A, emodin-8-O-β-D- glucoside and frangulin A were 1.147 2, 0.874 7 and 0.644 4, respectively. The content of these four components was measured as a good linearity (r≥0.999 6); relative standard deviation (RSD) of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.00%, and average recoveries were E-mail:dearhuangjianyou@126.com 99.41%-100.46%(RSD≤2.05%). There was no significant difference between QAMS method and ESM (RSD<3.00%). CONCLUSIONS Emodin, frangulin A, pleuropyrone A and emodin- 8-O-β-D-glucoside are isolated from V. leiocarpa; among them, the last three components are all isolated from for the first time. The established HPLC-QAMS method is accurate and reliable for the determination of 4 components in V. leiocarpa, and can used for quality control of V. leiocarpa.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and value of preemptive analgesia in older adult patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy.Methods:A total of 150 older adult patients with liver cancer, who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy at The 2 nd Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between July 2019 and April 2020, were randomly assigned to two groups: a control group ( n = 75) and an observation group ( n = 75) using the random number table method. The control group received postoperative analgesia with parecoxib sodium, while the observation group received preemptive analgesia with parecoxib sodium. A comparative analysis was conducted between the control and observation groups in terms of the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores at 8, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively, postoperative recovery, length of hospital stay, and overall cost. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in operation time, dosage of Sufentanil 24 hours postoperatively, or the total and effective usage counts of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with Sufentanil between the control and observation groups (both P > 0.05). However, the NRS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at 8, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. Specifically, the NRS scores of the observation group were (4.38 ± 1.24) points, (3.41 ± 0.19) points, and (2.90 ± 0.17) points, respectively, while those of the control group were (5.24 ± 1.01) points, (4.65 ± 1.24) points, and (3.32 ± 1.00) points, respectively ( t = 4.66, 8.56, 3.59, all P < 0.001). Patients in the observation group exhibited significantly more frequent off-bed activities [(2.62 ± 1.24) times], a notably longer cumulative duration of off-bed activities [(1.36 ± 0.20) hours], and a significantly shorter duration of first anal exhaust [(13.50 ± 1.27) hours] compared with those in the control group [(1.06 ± 0.12) times, (0.36 ± 0.09) hours, (20.10 ± 2.16) hours, t = -10.84, -39.49, 22.81, all P < 0.001]. Furthermore, the observation group demonstrated a shorter postoperative hospital stay [(8.90 ± 1.34) days], lower hospitalization costs [(55.8 ± 2.1) thousand yuan], and higher patient satisfaction scores [(88.98 ± 5.64) points] compared with the control group [(11.15 ± 1.29) days, (59.4 ± 6.2) thousand yuan, (72.16 ± 3.26) points, t = 10.48, 4.76, -22.36, all P < 0.001]. Conclusion:The implementation of preemptive analgesia intervention among older adult patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy effectively enhances analgesic outcomes, accelerates postoperative recovery, reduces hospitalization duration, and markedly decreases hospitalization costs.

Objective:To identify tooth number abnormalities on pediatric panoramic radiographs based on deep learning.Methods:Eight hundred panoramic radiographs of children aged 4 to 11 years meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and randomly assigned by writing programs in Python (version 3.9) to the training set (480 images), verification set (160 images) and internal test set (160 images), taken in Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between November 2012 to August 2020. And all panoramic radiographs of children aged 4 to 11 years taken in the First Outpatient Department of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from June 2022 to December 2022 were collected as the external test set (907 images). All of the 1 707 images were obtained by operators to determine the outline and to label the tooth position of each deciduous tooth, permanent tooth, permanent tooth germ and additional tooth. The deep learning model with ResNet-50 as the backbone network was trained on the training set, validated on the verification set, tested on the internal test set and external test set. The images of test sets were divided into two categories according to whether there was abnormality of tooth number, to calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value, and then divided into four types of extra teeth and missing permanent teeth both existed, extra teeth existed only, missing permanent teeth existed only, and normal teeth number, to calculate Kappa values. Results:The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 98.0%, 98.3%, 99.0% and 96.7% in the internal test set, and 97.1%, 98.4%, 91.9% and 99.5% in the external test set respectively, according to whether there was abnormality of tooth number. While images were divided into four types, the Kappa value obtained in the internal test set was 0.886, and that in the external test set was 0.912. Conclusions:In this study, a deep learning-based model for identifying abnormal tooth number of children was developed, which could identify the position of additional teeth and output the position of missing permanent teeth on the basis of identifying normal deciduous and permanent teeth and permanent tooth germs on panoramic radiographs, so as to assist in diagnosing tooth number abnormalities.

Objective:To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on forgetting curve theory on disease knowledge level and self-management ability of patients with acute pancreatitis.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 152 patients with acute pancreatitis who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were selected as the research objects from January 2018 to June 2020. According to the random number table, the research objects were divided into the control group and the observation group, with 76 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing interventions, while patients in the observation group were given nursing interventions based on the forgetting curve theory. The intervention time was 1, 2, 4, 7 and 15 days after hospitalization. The self-made Acute Pancreatitis Knowledge Questionnaire and Self-management Questionnaire were used to evaluate the disease knowledge and self-management ability of patients in the two groups before the intervention, 7 days after the intervention, 1 and 3 month after the intervention.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the acute pancreatitis knowledge scores between the two groups before intervention ( t=0.368, P=0.714) . The acute pancreatitis knowledge scores of patients in the observation group after 7 days of intervention and 1 and 3 months after intervention were higher than those of the control group at the same time, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.067, 4.718, 6.361; P<0.01) . There was no statistically significant difference in scores of self-management level of acute pancreatitis of patients between the two groups before intervention ( t=0.160, P=0.873) . The self-management scores of patients in the observation group for acute pancreatitis after 7 days of intervention and 1 and 3 months after intervention were higher than those of the control group at the same time, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=6.379, 7.757, 7.735; P<0.01) . Conclusions:The application of nursing intervention based on forgetting curve theory for patients with acute pancreatitis can improve the disease knowledge level of patients and enhance the self-management ability of them, which is of great significance for patients to maintain their long-term memory of knowledge related to acute pancreatitis.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(4):515-518
Objective:
To understand the awareness of sexual knowledge among primary and secondary school students, as well as their attitudes towards school sex education and to provide a reference for school-based sex education.
Methods:
A total of 5 531 primary and secondary school students were selected from Beijing, Chongqing, Heilongjiang (Harbin and Jiamusi) and Hubei (Wuhan and Xiaogan) by stratified cluster sampling and were investigated with self-reported questionnaire.
Results:
Sex-related knowledge scored 62.33±19.35, with a pass rate of 61.9%, and the excellent rate 17.5%. Sexual knowledge of junior high school students scored 64.30±19.07, with the pass rate of 64.7%, and the excellent rate 22.0%. A large proportion of primary students reported unaware of pubertal growth and HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, and a large proportion of junior high students unaware of reproductive physiology. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed region, grade, gender, and suburban areas were related to the level of sexual knowledge(P<0.05). More than 76.0% primary students and 85.9% middle school students agreed on the importance of school sexuality education. 59.7% of primary school students and 73.3% of junior high school students hoped to include school sexuality education in compulsory education courses; 59.8% of primary school students and 68.3% of junior high school students felt that school sexuality education should be equipped with specialized teachers.
Conclusion
Chinese primary and secondary school students are lack of sexual knowledge. As students have strong wills to get more information on sexual knowledge, schools should provide them with more comprehensive and effective sex education through appropriate courses and activities.
