{L-End}Objective To investigate the current status of long working hours of food-delivery workers from food-delivery platform, and analyze its impact on their health such as occupational stress, depressive symptoms, insomnia symptoms, fatigue accumulation, and life satisfaction. {L-End}Methods A total of 2 145 food-delivery workers from two food-delivery platforms in Guangzhou City were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The occupational stress, depressive symptoms, insomnia symptoms, fatigue accumulation, and life satisfaction were investigated using the Core Occupational Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 items, Self-sleep Management Questionnaire, Self-diagnosis Questionnaire of Fatigue Accumulation of Workers, and World Health Organization Five-item Well Being Index. {L-End}Results The median and the 25th and 75th percentiles of weekly working hours were 63 (49,77) hours. And 92.2% (1 978/2 145) of workers, who worked more than 40 hours per week, were long working hours workers. While 70.1% (1 504/2 145) workers, who worked 55 hours or more per week, were ultra-long working hours workers. The detection rate of occupational stress, depressive symptoms, insomnia symptoms, fatigue accumulation, and low life satisfaction was 30.1%, 27.5%, 34.7%, 40.8%, and 75.1%, respectively. The longer the weekly working hours of the research subjects, the higher the detection rate of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation (all P<0.01). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ultra-long working hours (weekly working hours ≥55 hours) was the influencing factor of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation after excluding the influence of confounding factors among workers (all P<0.05). {L-End}Conclusion The food-delivery workers of food-delivery platforms generally work long hours. Ultra-long working hours is a risk factor for occupational stress and fatigue accumulation among these workers.

{L-End}Objective To explore the status of quality control assessment of pure tone audiometry (PTA) and to analyze its influencing factors in occupational medical examination (OME) institutions in Guangzhou City. {L-End}Methods A total of 41 OME institutions in Guangzhou City were selected as the research subjects from 2021 to 2022 using random sampling method, and its status of on-site quality and PTA quality for individuals exposed to noise were assessed. {L-End}Results A total of 205 rectification items were identified among the 41 OME institutions from 2021 to 2022. Among them, 19, 28, 30, and 28 OME institutions did not meet the requirements of organizational structure, quality management system, quality control of OME, and health examination information reporting, respectively. A total of 1 095 OME reports for individuals exposed to noise were assessed, with 820 reports having correct results and conclusions, resulting in an accuracy rate of 74.9%. The results of the multiple logistic regression analysis showed that OME institutions without meeting the requirements for the quality management system had a higher risk of failing the PTA quality control assessment and having inaccurate hearing test results compared with those meeting the requirements (all P<0.05). OME institutions with a filing period less than one year had a higher risk of having inaccurate hearing test results than those with a filing period of one year or more (P<0.05). OME institutions not meeting the requirements for quality control of OME had a higher risk of having abnormal OME conclusions than those meeting the requirements (P<0.05). OME institutions not meeting the requirements for health examination information reporting had a higher risk of having abnormal conclusions in suspected occupational disease than those meeting the requirements (P<0.05). OME institutions not meeting the requirements for the quality management system had a higher risk of having abnormal conclusions of occupational contraindications than those meeting the requirements (P<0.05). {L-End}Conclusion The quality of PTA in OME institutions in Guangzhou City needs to be improved. And a well-established quality management system for OME is beneficial for improving the quality of PTA.

Background The operation mode of automobile manufacturing industry (AMI) makes workers have different degrees of occupational stress and burnout, which may lead to negative emotions and depressive symptoms. Objective To study the relationship between occupational stress, job burnout, and depressive symptoms in AMI workers. Methods In this study, 1300 workers from a Guangzhou AMI company were selected as subjects by cluster random sampling method. Occupational stress, job burnout, and depressive symptoms of the workers were assessed by using the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory general survey questionnaire, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, respectively. Hierarchical regression was used to analyze the effects of occupational stress and job burnout on depressive symptoms in AMI workers. Mediating effect model was used to analyze the mediating effect of job burnout on the relationship between occupational stress and depressive symptoms. Results There were 1300 questionnaires distributed, 1228 valid questionnaires collected, with a 94.5% recovery rate. The ERI ratio of 1228 AMI workers was 1.06±0.72, and the positive rate of occupational stress was 37.3% (458/1228). The score of job burnout was 2.18±1.37, and the positive rate of job burnout was 62.6% (769/1228). The score of depressive symptoms was 10.27±6.42, and the positive rate of depressive symptoms was 47.1% (578/1228). The dimensional scores of effort and over-commitment in occupational stress as well as emotional exhaustion and depersonalization in job burnout of AMI workers were positively correlated with the depressive symptom scores (rs=0.415, 0.571, 0.573, 0.593, P<0.05). The dimensional scores of reward and personal achievement were negatively correlated (rs=−0.454, −0.339, P<0.05). The percentages of variance in depressive symptoms score explained by occupational stress and job burnout were 26.7% and 16.6%, respectively. Job burnout had a partial mediating effect between the three dimensions of occupational stress and depressive symptoms, and the mediating effect values were −0.2832 (95%CI: −0.3250– −0.2434), 0.3553 (95%CI: 0.3071–0.4041), and 0.4193 (95%CI: 0.3681–0.4725), respectively. Conclusion AMI workers' occupational stress affects job burnout, but also indirectly affects depressive symptoms. Job burnout partially mediates the association between occupational stress and depressive symptoms. Reducing occupational stress and burnout levels of AMI workers may alleviate depressive symptoms.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of programmed death-1 and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors versus traditional first-line regimens for the treatment of solid tumors.Methods:Databases including PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for literatures from the date of their establishment to October 2018 with the key words including "PD-1/PD-L1, solid tumors, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, immunotherapy" . The randomized controlled trial or non randomized controlled trial of high quality about PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and traditional fist-line regimens for the treatment of solid tumors were received and enrolled. Patients underwent PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors immunotherapy were allocated into treatment group, patients underwent traditional first-line regimens treatment were allocated into control group. Two reviewers independently screened literatures, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. Count data were described as odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The heterogeneity of the studies included was analyzed using the I2 test. Funnel plot was used to test potential publication bias if the studies included≥5, and no test was needed if the studies included<5. Results:(1) Document retrieval: a total of 11 available randomized clinical trials were included. There were 5 161 patients, including 2 677 in the treatment group and 2 484 in the control group. (2) Results of Meta analysis. ① There was a significant difference in the objective response rate between the treatment group and the control group ( OR=4.49, 95% CI: 3.01-6.68, P<0.05). The bilateral symmetry was presented in the funnel plot based on the 9 studies, suggesting that publication bias had little influence on results of Meta analysis. ② There was no significant difference in the disease control rate between the treatment group and the control group ( OR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.01-2.32, P=0.05). The bilateral symmetry was presented in the funnel plot based on the 9 studies, suggesting that publication bias had little influence on results of Meta analysis. ③ There was a significant difference in disease stability rate between the treatment group and the control group ( OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.33-0.73, P<0.05). The bilateral symmetry was presented in the funnel plot based on the 9 studies, suggesting that publication bias had little influence on results of Meta analysis. ④ There was no significant difference in disease progression rate between the treatment group and the control group ( OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.45-1.15, P>0.05). The bilateral symmetry was presented in the funnel plot based on the 9 studies, suggesting that publication bias had little influence on results of Meta analysis. ⑤ There were significant differences in overall incidence of adverse events and incidence of adverse events not less than three levels between the treatment group and the control group ( OR=0.53, 0.54, 95% CI: 0.38-0.74, 0.31-0.93, P<0.05). The bilateral symmetry was presented in the funnel plot based on the 11 studies, suggesting that publication bias had little influence on results of Meta analysis. Conclusion:Compared with traditional first-line regimens treatment, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors immunotherapy can improve the objective response rate and decrease the incidence of adverse events.

Pancreatic cancer is called as "the king of carcinoma" owing to its poor prognosis. The current treatment methods range from the world-famous Whipple surgery to combination chemotherapy, neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and emerging immunological checkpoint inhibitors. However, they all have certain limitations and the overall survival rate of pancreatic cancer has not been improved significantly in recent decades. With the further study of tumor immunology, tumor immunotherapy has gradually become the focus of cancer therapy. As a novel immunotherapy idea, oncolytic virus therapy is gradually accepted by scholars for its safety and effectiveness. Oncolytic virus can specifically infect and lyse tumor cells. It can not only directly lyse tumor cells by self-replication but also release immune molecules and tumor antigens by lysing tumor cells, which further enhance immune anti-tumor effect without damaging normal tissues. In addition, the oncolytic virus can carry the abundant exogenous target gene through gene editing technology to further enhance the anti-tumor effect of the oncolytic virus. Due to the complexity of the microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, the oncolytic virus monotherapy has limited effects, and combination therapy has shown promising prospects. Compared with other tumor immunotherapy, oncolytic virus therapy displays high killing efficiency, targeting ability and small adverse reaction, multiple anti-tumor pathways to avoid drug resistance and low cost, and is expected to become an ideal new way for oncotherapy. Based on domestic and overseas literatures, the authors have reviewed the development of ancolytic virus therapy, treatment mechanism of oncolytic virus and its advances in pancreatic cancer in this article.

Objective:
To explore the dietary patterns and related factors among urban middle school students in Guangzhou, and to provide the scientific reference for conducting nutritional education and intervention among the middle school students.
Methods:
Questionnaire survey was conducted for students in two grades (grade 1 of 27 junior and senior high schools) and their parents along with the physical examination for urban primary and secondary school students in Guangzhou. Dietary patterns were established by exploratory factor analysis. Multinomial Logistic regression model was used for analyzing influencing factors of dietary pattern.
Results:
Three major dietary patterns were identified. Type I (37.09%) was a healthy dietary pattern; type II (33.37%) and III (29.54%) were classified into western dietary patterns. Multinomial Logistic regression models showed that living on campus (ORⅡ=1.57, 95%CI:1.33-1.85; ORⅢ=1.28, 95%CI:1.07-1.52), screen time≥2 h/d (ORⅡ=2.89, 95%CI:2.51-3.33; ORⅢ=2.14, 95%CI:1.85-2.48) were positively associated with type II and III. The monthly household income per capita≥5 000 yuan (ORⅢ=1.31, 95%CI:1.14-1.51) was positively associated with type III. Senior students (ORⅡ=0.83, 95%CI:0.73-0.95; ORⅢ=0.74, 95%CI:0.64-0.85), the level of parental education (ORⅡ=0.64, 95%CI:0.52-0.79; ORⅡ=0.67, 95%CI:0.54-0.82; ORⅢ=0.72, 95%CI:0.58-0.90; ORⅢ=0.73, 95%CI:0.59-0.89) had a negative association with type II and III.
Conclusion
There are three dietary patterns among urban middle school students in Guangzhou. The main influencing factors include parental education, screen time, grade, resident situation, and monthly household income per capita.
