Background Prolonged awkward postures during occupational activities can lead to excessive musculoskeletal load on the wrist of workers and symptoms such as wrist pain or discomfort. Objective To survey the prevalence of wrist pain among workers in 10 key industries and analyze its correlation with wrist working postures. Methods By using stratified cluster sampling method, workers from 10 key industries, such as footwear manufacturing industry, shipbuilding manufacturing industry, and automobile manufacturing industry, were selected from seven regions in North China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China, and Northeast China. The demographic information, wrist working postures, pain in wrist of the workers were collected through a cross-sectional survey. Pearson χ² test was used to compare prevalence by selected factors, trend χ² test for between group comparison, and unconditional logistic regression models for the association of wrist working postures with wrist pain. Results There were 64052 workers enrolled in this survey, and 56286 provided valid questionnaires (the effective rate was 87.8%). According to the survey, the prevalence of wrist pain was 23.3% (13112/56286), and the industries with higher prevalences were footwear manufacturing (27.1%, 1927/7106), automobile manufacturing (24.9%, 5378/21560), and shipbuilding and related equipment manufacturing (24.4%, 850/3488) industries. Finger pinching (OR=2.09, 95%CI: 1.95-2.24), frequent wrist bending (OR=2.03, 95%CI: 1.92-2.15), fixed wrist bending (OR=1.77, 95%CI: 1.69-1.85), wrist on hard edge (OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.28-1.40), and arms over shoulders (OR=1.11, 95%CI: 1.05-1.17) increased the risk of reporting wrist pain. Conclusion Awkward postures are related to wrist pain among workers in selected 10 key industries. The related factors are wrist on hard edge, frequent wrist bending, finger pinching, fixed wrist bending, and arms over shoulders.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is generally susceptible in human beings and multi-organ systems can be involved in EBV infection, such as blood, respiratory, urinary, digestive and nervous systems. EBV infection also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of related tumors, autoimmune diseases and other diseases, posing a great threat to human health. As a DNA virus, EBV can be sensed by DNA recognition receptors to trigger a series of downstream immune responses. A DNA-sensing pathway consists of DNA sensors, adaptor molecules and downstream effector signals. Double-stranded DNA sensors mainly include absent in melanoma 2-like receptors (ALRs) and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS). Adaptors were mainly stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC). Downstream immune responses mainly involve typeⅠIFN, inflammasomes and proinflammatory cytokines. As a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family, EBV triggers complex innate and adaptive immune responses in the host, especially the sensing pathways mediated by a variety of DNA recognition receptors, which play a key role in host immune defense and pathogen immune evasion. This review made the DNA sensor as the clue to comprehensively summarize the progress in the activation, regulatory mechanism and clinical relevance of DNA-sensing pathways in EBV infection in recent years, aiming to achieve a better understanding of the host innate immune responses during EBV infection and provide an immunological basis for the prevention and treatment of EBV infection-related diseases.

Objective:To establish autoverification rules for coagulation tests in multicenter cooperative units, in order to reduce workload for manual review of suspected results and shorten turnaround time (TAT) of test reports, while ensure the accuracy of results.Methods:A total of 14 394 blood samples were collected from fourteen hospitals during December 2019 to March 2020. These samples included: Rules Establishment Group 11 230 cases, including 1 182 cases for Delta check rules; Rules Validation Group 3 164 cases, including 487cases for Delta check; Clinical Application Trial Group 77 269 cases. Samples were analyzed for coagulation tests using Sysmex CS series automatic coagulation analyzers, and the clinical information, instrument parameters, test results, clinical diagnosis, medication history of anticoagulant and other relative results such as HCT, TG, TBIL, DBIL were summarized; on the basis of historical data, the 2.5 and 97.5 percentile of all data arranged from low to high were initially accumulated; on the basis of clinical suggestions, critical values and specific drug use as well as relative guidelines, autoverification rules and limits were established.The rules were then input into middleware, in which Stage I/Stage II validation was done. Positive coincidence, negative coincidence, false negative, false positive, autoverification pass rate, passing accuracy (coincidence of autoverification and manual verification) were calculated. Autoverification rules underwent trial application in coagulation results reports.Results:(1) The autoverification algorisms involve 33 rules regarding PT/INR, APTT, FBG, D-dimer, FDP,Delta check, reaction curve and sample abnormalities; (2)Autoverification Establishment Group showed autoverification pass rate was 68.42% (7 684/11 230), the false negative rate was 0%(0/11230), coincidence of autoverification and manual verification was 98.51%(11 063/11 230), in which positive coincidence and negative coincidence were respectively 30.09% (3 379/11 230) and 68.42%(7 684/11 230); Autoverification Validation Group showed autoverification pass rate was 60.37%(1 910/3 164), the false negative rate was 0%(0/11 230), coincidence of autoverification and manual verification was 97.79%(3 094/3 164), in which positive coincidence and negative coincidence were respectively 37.42%(1 184/3 164) and 60.37%(1 910/3 164); (3) Trialed implementation of these autoverification rules on 77 269 coagulation samples showed that the average TAT shortened by 8.5 min-83.1 min.Conclusions:This study established 33 autoverification rules in coagulation tests. Validation showedthese rules could ensure test quality while shortening TAT and lighten manual workload.

Objective: To study the effect of warfarin individualized drug regimen based on gene detection on anticoagulation in patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods: From January 2016 to June 2017, 62 patients with DVT diagnosed for the first time in vascular surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College were analyzed retrospectively, including 33 in the individualized group and 29 in the experience group. All patients were diagnosed by Color Doppler Ultrasound (CDUS). Gender, age, the results of the initial international standardized ratio (INR) measurement, the time from the first dose to the INR standard, and whether the INR exceeds the standard in the process of increasing the dose were collected. Results: There was no significant difference in sex, age and initial INR between the two groups (P>0.05). The time of reaching the standard in the individualized group was significantly lower than that in the experience group [(13.8±6.8)d vs (17.6±7.5)d, P<0.05]; There was no significant difference in INR between the two groups (P=0.377). Conclusions For the patients with DVT for the first time, the individualized drug regimen of warfarin based on the guidance of gene detection can shorten the time of reaching the standard without increasing the risk of bleeding.

Objective To investigate the perioperative complications and therapeutic effects of balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) and stent-assisted coiling (SAC) in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms in the acute phase. Methods Totally 91 patients with 91 intracranial ruptured aneurysms were treated with BAC or SAC in our hospital between January 2014 and December 2016. Among them, 37 patients were treated with BAC and 54 patients with SAC respectively. Of the two groups, the position distribution and shape of aneurysms, and the complications after procedures and the therapeutic effects were summarized and evaluated retrospectively using chi-square test. Results The width of the aneurysm neck was narrower in the BAC-treated group compared to the SAC-treated group (3.31±1.63 mm vs. 4.35±2.10 mm, P=0.01). The aneurysm body/neck ratio (B/N) was lower in the BAC-treated group than in the SAC-treated group (1.64 ± 0.46 vs. 1.35±0.66, P=0.025). The recurrence rate was higher in the BAC-treated group than that in the SAC-treated group (18.9％ vs. 0.9％, P=0.005). There was no statistical difference in perioperative complication in both the BAC-treated group and SAC-treated group. However, 2 patients died due to the relative postoperative intracranial bleeding in the SAC-treated group. Better outcomes (Modified Rankin Score, mRS, 0-2) were achieved in the BAC-treated group compared to the SAC-treated group (94.6％ vs. 88.9％, P=0.028) at the follow-up visit. Conclusions These findings suggested that there is no difference between the BAC-treated group and the SAC-treated group in the risk of complication. BAC can achieve a better prognosis,but it is more prone to relapse. The SAC method was more appropriate for wider neck aneurysms. It was also an option to coiling the aneurysm in BAC in acute phase firstly, followed by additional treatment in SAC during the follow-up period.

Objective To summarize operation experiences in applying microcoils embolization for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms using the low-profile visualized intraluminal stent support (LVIS) in elderly patients.Methods We reviewed data of 47 elderly patients (48 aneurysms) with intracranial wide-necked aneurysms treated with LVIS stent-assisted microcoils embolization.Results Forty-seven aneurysms were embolized successfully,one stent was withdrawn because its midpiece failed to stretch.Instant Raymond classifications evaluation after the surgery showed Grade Ⅰ in 52.1％ (25/48 aneurysms),Grade Ⅱ in 37.5％ (18/48 aneurysms),and Grade Ⅲ in 8.3 ％ (4/48 aneurysms).Besides,the effective rate of aneurysms embolization was 91.5 ％.During 3 to 12-month follow-up with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in 36 patients (36 aneurysms),mRS was scored 0 (best effectiveness) in 28 cases,scored 1 in 4 cases,scored 2 in 3 cases,and scored 3 in 1 case,and the total favorable rate was 97％.Conclusions LVIS stent-assisted microcoils embolization for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms in elderly patients may avoid or reduce the incidence of complication.

α-cells, which synthesize glucagon, also support β-cell survival and have the capacity to transdifferentiate into β-cells. However, the role of α-cells in pathological conditions and their putative clinical applications remain elusive due in large part to the lack of mature α-cells. Here, we present a new technique to generate functional α-like cells. α-like cells (iAlpha cells) were generated from mouse fibroblasts by transduction of transcription factors, including Hhex, Foxa3, Gata4, Pdx1 and Pax4, which induce α-cell-specific gene expression and glucagon secretion in response to KCl and Arg stimulation. The cell functions in vivo and in vitro were evaluated. Lineage-specific and functional-related gene expression was tested by realtime PCR, insulin tolerance test (ITT), glucose tolerance test (GTT), Ki67 and glucagon immunohistochemistry analysis were done in iAlpha cells transplanted nude mice. iAlpha cells possess α-cell function in vitro and alter blood glucose levels in vivo. Transplantation of iAlpha cells into nude mice resulted in insulin resistance and increased β-cell proliferation. Taken together, we present a novel strategy to generate functional α-like cells for the purposes of disease modeling and regenerative medicine.
