Background Due to the unique working environment and numerous occupational disease hazards, workers in mining industry are particularly susceptible to psychological problems such as occupational stress. Objective To understand the current status of occupational stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and sleep quality of workers in ferrous and non-ferrous metal mining industry in Gansu Province, and to explore the effects of occupational stress on depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep. Methods From April to December 2022, the workers of 25 large, medium, and small and micro enterprises were selected by stratified cluster random sampling and surveyed in ferrous and non-ferrous metal mining industry in Gansu Province. The Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Population, Core Occupational Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-q, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Self-administer Sleep Questionnaire were used to collect basic information, occupational stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality of the workers. Chi-square test was used to compare occupational stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and sleep disorders among different categories. Logistic regression model was used to study the effects of occupational stress on depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality. Results In this study, 2192 workers in mining industry were surveyed, of which 2087 returned valid questionnaires, and the recovery rate of valid questionnaires was 95.2%. Among them, 728 (38.4%) reported occupational stress. There were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of occupational stress among workers by gender, age, marital status, education level, average monthly income, length of service, enterprise size, and night shifts (P<0.001). The positive rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disorders in the mining industry workers were 85.6%, 49.8%, and 47.3%, respectively. The positive rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disorders among workers with higher occupational stress were higher than those among workers without occupational stress (P<0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that occupational stress was a common risk factor for depressive symptoms (OR=3.29, 95%CI: 2.26, 4.79), anxiety symptoms (OR=2.87, 95%CI: 2.33, 3.53), and sleep disorder (OR=1.78, 95%CI: 1.46, 2.16). In addition, length of service and enterprise-scale were also risk factors for depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disorders. In the 5−<10 and 10−<20 years of service groups, the risks of reporting depressive symptoms were 1.80 (95%CI: 1.18, 2.74) and 1.73 (95%CI: 1.10, 2.71) times higher than that of workers with less than 1 year of service, respectively; the risks of reporting anxiety symptoms were 1.98 (95%CI: 1.42, 2.76) and 2.11 (95%CI: 1.48, 3.01) times higher than that with less than 1 year of service, respectively; the risks of reporting sleep disorders were 1.58 (95%CI: 1.15, 2.16) and 1.78 (95%CI: 1.29, 2.45) times higher than that with less than 1 year of service, respectively. Workers in large enterprises were inclined to report more depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances than those in micro and small enterprises (OR=3.53, 95%CI: 2.41, 5.16; OR=2.49, 95%CI: 1.98, 3.13; OR=2.10, 95%CI: 1.67, 2.62). Conclusion The occupational stress level of mining industry workers in Gansu Province is high, and reporting occupational stress, 5−<10 and 10−<20 working age groups, and large enterprises are important risk factors affecting workers' mental health and sleep. It is necessary to increase the attention and develop intervention programs for mental health of miners in the working age group of 5−20 years old and in large enterprises.

Objective: To investigate the expression and functional role of FK506 binding protein 10 (FKBP10) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and to provide a research basis for the estimated prognosis and targeted therapy of OSCC. Methods: A total of 284 OSCC samples and 19 normal samples were selected from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and diagnostic analysis was performed to determine mRNA expression. Survival analysis for FKBP10 and OSCC was conducted on a gene expression profile interaction analysis website. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western Blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of FKBP10 in four OSCC cell lines and SAS and SCC9 cells transfected with siRNA. The cell proliferation ability of FKBP10-silenced cells was detected using the CCK8 method, and the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion ability were detected through wound healing and invasion experiments. The expression changes of total protein and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-serine/threonine kinase (AKT) after FKBP10 silencing were analyzed by proteomics and Western Blot. Results: According to the analysis of gene expression levels, the mRNA expression level of FKBP10 in OSCC was significantly higher than that in normal tissues (P < 0.001). In terms of diagnosis, the expression level of FKBP10 has unique diagnostic value for OSCC (P < 0.05). The survival analysis of FKBP10 and OSCC showed that a high expression of FKBP10 led to a decrease in patient survival and poor prognosis (P < 0.05). The expression of FKBP10 mRNA and protein in OSCC cell lines was higher than that in normal oral keratinocytes (P < 0.001). Silencing FKBP10 can reduce the proliferation, invasion, and migration ability of SAS and SCC9 (P < 0.001), and also block their cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase (P < 0.001), with a significant increase in apoptosis (P < 0.05). Protein mass spectrometry and Western blot analysis revealed that FKBP10 silencing significantly downregulated the expression of multiple proteins in the RAP1 signaling pathway, mainly RAP guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1 (RAPGEF1) (P < 0.05) and the phosphorylation of PI3K-AKT proteins (P < 0.05). Conclusion FKBP10 is highly expressed in OSCC, leading to poor prognosis for patients. Downregulated FKBP10 expression can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of OSCC cells, hinder cell cycle progression, and promote apoptosis via the RAP1-PI3K-AKT axis. FKBP10 is a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker for OSCC.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as a treasure of the Chinese nation, plays a significant role in maintaining public health. In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council proposed for the first time the establishment of a TCM registration and evaluation evidence system that integrates TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials (referred to as the "Three-in-One" System) to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. Subsequently, the National Medical Products Administration issued several guiding principles to advance the improvement and implementation of this system. Owing to the complexity of its implementation, there are still differing understandings within the TCM industry regarding the positioning of the "Three-in-One" Registration and Evaluation Evidence System, as well as the connotation and value orientation of the "personal experience." To address this, Academician WANG Qi, President of the TCM Association, China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Healthcare and TCM master, led a group of academicians, TCM masters, TCM pharmacology experts and clinical TCM experts to convene a "Seminar on Promoting the Implementation of the ′Three-in-One′ Registration and Evaluation Evidence System for Chinese Medicinals." Through extensive discussions, an expert consensus was formed, clarifying the different roles of the TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials within the system. It was further emphasized that the "personal experience" is the core of this system, and its data should be derived from clinical practice scenarios. In the future, the improvement of this system will require collaborative efforts across multiple fields to promote the high-quality development of the Chinese medicinal industry.

Kounis syndrome is an acute coronary syndrome triggered by an allergic reaction, which is clinically rare and frequently subject to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. This article presents a case report of a 70-year-old male patient who developed a rash, pruritus, and chest pain following colon polyp resection. Coronary angiography revealed occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, and blood flow was restored after stent implantation. However, the patient experienced recurrent symptoms accompanied by loss of consciousness. Drug skin tests confirmed positive reactions to chlorhexidine and fondaparinux sodium, leading to a diagnosis of type Ⅱ Kounis syndrome. By avoiding allergenic drugs and combining antihistamines with symptomatic treatment to correct myocardial ischemia, the patient′s clinical symptoms significantly improved, and he eventually recovered and was discharged from the hospital. This case underscores the importance of maintaining vigilance for this syndrome in patients with allergies accompanied by chest pain and promptly identifying and avoiding allergens.

This study investigated the effect of different carrier materials on the in vitro properties of progesterone solid dispersions. The solid dispersions of the insoluble drug progesterone were prepared by hot melt extrusion technique using rheological properties as the index of investigation, and the in vitro properties of the solid dispersions were characterized. Scanning electron microscope revealed solid dispersions with rough surfaces and agglomerated microstructures into irregular lumpy particles. Differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction showed the change of progesterone crystalline form in solid dispersions from crystalline to amorphous state. In vitro dissolution studies showed that solid dispersions prepared with different carrier materials can effectively improve the dissolution rate of drugs. The results of the study showed that the type of carrier material had a significant effect on the in vitro properties of solid dispersions, providing a reference for the study of solid dispersions in the controlled release of insoluble drugs.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect and hearing loss of endolymphatic sac decompression(ESD)combined with one or two semicircular canal obstruction(SCO)in treating the patient with stage Ⅲ or stageⅣ Meniere disease.Methods Forty-three patients with stage Ⅲ or stage Ⅳ Meniere disease,who failed to respond to conventional conservative treatment and had the expectation of preserving residual hearing function,were enrolled in the study.They were divided into three groups according to the operation they underwent:ESD combined with lateral and posterior semicircular canal obstruction(ESD+LPSCO)13 cases,ESD combined with lateral semicircu-lar canal obstruction(ESD+LPSCO)14 cases,and ESD only 16 cases.Data of vertigo,ear fullness and tinnitus be-fore and after operation was collected,analyzed and compared.Hearing function before and after the operation was also evaluated.Results The number of vertigo attacks in the three groups(ESD+LPSCO,ESD+LSCO,and ESD)were all significantly reduced after operation.The vertigo control rate were 92.3％,78.6％and 62.5％re-spectively.Compared with pre-operation,the vertigo severity post-operation in the three groups were also signifi-cantly reduced.And the improvement rate of vertigo severity after ESD+LPSCO and ESD+LSCO were both 100％,which were significantly higher than that of ESD(68.8％).The discomfort of tinnitus and ear fullness in the three groups were significantly improved compared with that of pre-operation.The improvement rates of tinnitus in the three groups were 46.2％,50.0％and 43.8％respectively,with no significant difference.The improvement rate of ear fullness in the three groups were 61.5％,57.1％and 50.0％respectively,with no significant difference either.The proportion of patients with decreased hearing after operation in the three groups was 15.4％,7.1％and 18.8％,respectively,and the differences were insignificant.Conclusion ESD combined with one or two SCO can effectively control vertigo and other symptoms of patients with stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ Meniere's disease who had failure to conventional conservative treatment,and can preserve the residual hearing function in considerable extent.

Objective To understand the status of behavioral intentions of defensive medical treatment in medical students,and explore the relationship between practice environment and behavioral intentions of defensive medical treatment.To provide reference for reducing the tendency of defensive medicine(DM)behavior of medical students and improving the negative effects of DM.Methods A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted among medi-cal students in four medical colleges in Heilongjiang Province.The structural equation modeling of the relationship be-tween practice environment and behavioral intentions of defensive medical treatment in medical students was con-structed by Amos 26.0 software.Results The mean score of medical students'behavioral intentions of positive and negarive defensive medical treatment was 44.49-6.90 and 20.06-6.83,respectively.The behavioral intention of posi-tively defensive medical treatment was positively associated(β=0.892,P＜0.05)with cognition of doctor-patient relationship.While the behavioral intention of negative defensive medical treatment was positively correlated(β=0.403,0.343,P＜0.05)with environment cognition,perception of risk and negatively correlated(β=-0.726,P＜0.05)with cognition of doctor-patient relationship.As an intermediary variable,the direct and indirect effects of cog-nition of doctor-patient relationship on negative defensive medical behavior tendency were-0.470 and 0.043,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Improving cognition of medical students'doctor-pa-tient relationship is beneficial to understand defensive medical treatment for medical students.The negative defen-sive medical behavior tendency of medical students should be reduced by reducing their negative cognition of environ-ment or improving their cognition of doctor-patient relationship.

Objective:To analyze the acute poison epidemic and provide evidence for developing prevention and control strategies for acute poisoning.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on acute poisoning cases collected from 2016 to 2022 in a health emergency information platform for acute poisoning accidents. The cases were grouped according to the distribution of poisoning occurrence time, geographic distribution, demographic distribution, types of toxicants, poisoning causes, and outcomes. Data were organized and analyzed using Excel 2016 and R 4.2.3.Results:A total of 95 754 acute poisoning cases were included in this study. The primary toxicants were pesticides, drugs, and industrial/household chemicals, accounting for 30.4%, 22.4%, and 20.4% of the total cases, respectively. Acute poisoning occurred throughout the year, with the highest frequency from June to August, accounting for 31.9%. The seasonal distribution varied among different types of toxicants. Except for plant poisoning, which showed a bimodal distribution, the other poisonings showed an unimodal distribution. There was a strong seasonality in fungal poisoning, which peaked in July. There was an obvious seasonality in animal poisoning, with a peak in August. The proportion of biological poisonings in the southwest region was higher than in other regions, including plants, animals, and fungi. There were more females than males, and their education level was mainly junior high school and below (35.2%). The main occupation was farmers (34.2%), and the main causes of poisoning were accidents and suicides. The case fatality rate of all poisoning cases was 1.24%. Pesticide poisoning was the most common type, and chlorfenapyr (11.68%), Diquat (7.23%), and paraquat (7.05%) ranked as the top three toxicants.Conclusions:The occurrence of acute poisoning has an obvious seasonal trend, and the toxicant spectrum of different regions and populations is different. A comprehensive poisoning surveillance system can provide a better understanding of the occurrence of poisonings, and facilitate the formulation of more scientifically precise poisoning prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To explore the correlation between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) trajectory and new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in elderly population (≥65 years old) in Nanjing.Methods:The study cohort was composed of 14 763 subjects who met the inclusion criteria in the population in elderly health examination in Nanjing. Based on the FPG levels detected in health examination from 2018 to 2021 (logarithm was used for normal distribution), three different FPG trajectory groups were determined using the SAS Proc Traj program, i.e. low-stable group, medium-stable group, and high-stable group. The incidence of CKD in 2022 was analyzed, and log-rank test was performed to compare the differences of cumulative incidence of new-onset CKD among different trajectory groups. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the correlation between different FPG trajectories and new-onset CKD.Results:The mean follow-up time was (416.09±81.96) days. The follow-up time of the 500 th day was selected to analyze the cumulative incidence rate of CKD in different FPG trajectory groups, and the cumulative incidence rate of CKD in the low-stable group, the medium-stable group, and the high-stable group of FPG increased with elevated trajectory, which was 15.3%, 21.8%, and 29.3%, respectively (log-rank test χ2=151.16, P<0.001). Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis showed that compared with the low-stable group, the medium-stable group and the high-stable group were all at risk for new-onset CKD. After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, the analysis by Cox proportional hazards regression model 4 indicated that the risk for CKD in medium-stable and high-stable groups were still 1.676 (95% CI: 1.462-1.921) times and 2.007 (95% CI: 1.562-2.579) times higher than that in low-stable group. Conclusions:Elevated FPG change trajectory level is a risk factor for new-onset CKD, and persistently high level of FPG increase the risk for CKD. FPG should be monitored in elderly population by follow up, and individualized prevention and control measures for CKD should be developed for different trajectory groups.
