[Therapeutic efficacy analysis of endoscopic combined with serological diagnosis strategy and endoscopic in G1 and G2 gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms]

Objective: To investigate the endoscopic combined serological diagnosis strategy for G1 and G2 gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (G-NENs), and to evaluate the safety, short-term, and long-term efficacy of two endoscopic treatment procedures: endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 100 consecutive patients with G-NENs who were hospitalized at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2011 to October 2023. These patients underwent endoscopic treatment, and propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare clinicopathological characteristics, as well as short-term and long-term efficacy of lesions in the EMR group and ESD group before and after treatment. Results: Among the 100 patients with G-NENs, the median age was 54 years old. Before surgery, 29 cases underwent endoscopic combined serological examination, and 24 of them (82.2%) had abnormally elevated plasma chromogranin A. The combined diagnostic strategy for autoimmune atrophic gastritis (AIG) achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 100%(22/22). A total of 235 G-NEN lesions were included, with 84 in the ESD group and 151 in the EMR group. The median size of the lesions in the ESD group (5.0 mm) was significantly larger than that in the EMR group (2.0 mm, P＜0.001). Additionally, the ESD group had significantly more lesions with pathological grade G2[23.8%(20/84) vs. 1.3%(2/151), P＜0.001], infiltration depth reaching the submucosal layer [78.6%(66/84) vs. 51.0%(77/151), P＜0.001], and more T2 stage compared to the EMR group[15.5%(13/84) vs. 0.7%(1/151), P＜0.001]. After PSM, 49 pairs of lesions were successfully matched between the two groups. Following PSM, there were no significant differences in the en bloc resection rate [100.0%(49/49) vs. 100.0%(49/49)], complete resection rate [93.9%(46/49) vs. 100.0%(49/49)], and complication rate [0(0/49) vs. 4.1%(2/49)] between the two groups. During the follow-up period, no recurrence or distant metastasis was observed in any of the lesions in both groups. Conclusions: The combination of endoscopy and serology diagnostic strategy has the potential to enhance the accuracy of diagnosing G1 and G2 stage G-NENs and their background mucosa. Endoscopic resection surgery (EMR, ESD) is a proven and safe treatment approach for G1 and G2 stage G-NENs.

[Analysis of clinical and prognostic characteristics of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma with myelofibrosis patients]

Objective: To investigate the clinical and prognostic characteristics of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients with myelofibrosis (MF). Methods: The clinical data of 160 NDMM patients admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2012 to July 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into MF group(n=74) and non-MF group(n=86) according to whether combined with MF. Patients in MF group were further splited into MF-1 group (n=47) and MF-2/3 group (n=27). All patients were treated with bortezomib and immunomodulatory-based combination therapy. The efficacy was evaluated after 4 courses, and the clinical features and prognosis between the two groups were compared. The deadline for follow-up was December 30, 2022 and the median follow-up period [M (Q1, Q3)] was 23.5 (14.4, 40.5) months. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Cox regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of survival. Results: Among 160 patients with NDMM, 91 were males and 69 were females, with a median age [M (Q1, Q3)] of 59 (54, 69) years. In MF group, the bone marrow immature plasma cell percentage, total plasma cell percentage were 9.6% (3.2%, 28.5%) and 36.4% (18.5%, 51.1%), respectively, which were higher than 6.0% (1.2%, 17.2%) and 24.0% (12.0%, 46.0%) of the non-MF group (both P<0.05). Hb level was 84.0(74.5, 100.5)g/L and PLT was (151.99±90.68) ×109/L in the MF group, which were lower than 96.0 (81.0, 112.0)g/L and (180.38±85.32) ×109/L of non-MF group (both P<0.05). But there were no significant differences in ISS stage, karyotypic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) high-risk genetic abnormalities between the two groups (all P>0.05). Objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). The rate of 17p- was 25.9% (7/27) in MF-2/3 group, which was higher than 8.1% (7/86) of non-MF group (P=0.049). The median OS of the MF-2/3 group was 25.0 (95%CI: 23.6-26.4) months, which was shorter than that of the non-MF group (54.0 months, P=0.031). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that grade MF-2/3 was not a risk factor for OS in NDMM patients (HR=1.507, 95%CI: 0.624-3.993, P=0.425). Conclusions: The ratio of bone marrow immature plasma cells and total plasma cells in NDMM patients with MF are higher than that in patients without MF, and the Hb and PLT are lower than that in patients without MF. NDMM patients with grade 2/3 MF have shorter survival than those without MF.

[Clinical and genetic analysis of tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency of six cases]

The clinical and molecular genetic data of 6 patients with genetically confirmed tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency(THD) diagnosed in Department of Neurology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from March 2017 to February 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The 6 patients were from 5 families. Among them, 5 patients had persistent or paroxysmal abnormal walking posture, 4 patients had dystonia of head and face, including spasm of perioral and oculopharyngeal muscles, hyperactivity, and binocular upvision, 4 patients showed obvious morning light and evening heavy phenomenon, 2 patients had postural tremor of limbs, 2 patients had psychomotor retardation from childhood, 1 patient only had limb and cervical muscle weakness, 1 patient had epileptic seizures. Of the 6 patients, only 1 was adult-onset, and the rest were child-onset. Four patients had good response to low-dose dopa preparation, 2 patients from the same family had poor response to dopamine treatment, requiring extremely low dose initiation and multi-frequency titration treatment. However, the long-term treatment effect was poor with obvious abnormalities. Gene testing of 5 families revealed 8 mutations in the TH gene, with c.698G>A (p.R233H) being the hot spot mutation site. The clinical manifestations of THD are complex. Besides paroxysmal or persistent dystonia, it can also be accompanied by eye movement crisis, muscle weakness, epilepsy, and delayed mental and motor development. Most patients respond well to low-dose dopamine preparations, but a small number of patients require titration treatment with extremely low-dose dopamine preparations, and the long-term effect is not satisfactory.

[Clinical efficacy of single/double 125I-seed strands combined with biliary stents in the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice]

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of single/double 125I-seed strands combined with biliary stents in the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice. Methods: Totally 67 cases of patients with malignant obstructive jaundice who received single/double125I-seed strands combined with biliary stents implantation from September 2018 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 36 patients received single 125I-seed strands combined with biliary stents (single strand group) and 31 patients received double 125I-seed strands combined with biliary stents(double strands group). The technical success rate, clinical success rate, complications, biochemical and tumor indexes at 8 weeks after operation [total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9)], stent patency time (SP), median progression-free survival time (mPFS) and median survival time (mOS) were analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in technical success rate (100% vs 100%), clinical success rate (97.2% vs 96.8%) and major complications (5.6% vs 6.5%) between single strand group and double strands group. There were significant differences in TB, DB, ALT, AST and CA19-9 indicators between the two groups before and 8 weeks after operation (all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the difference value of preoperative and postoperative 8-week indicators between the two groups (all P>0.05).The SP and mPFS of double-stranded stents were longer than those of single-stranded stents.[8.6 months (95%CI:6.9-10.4) vs 6.2 months (95%CI:5.8-6.6), 3.2 months (95%CI:3.0-3.4) vs 3.0 months (95%CI:2.9-3.1), all P<0.05]. The mOS of single and double strands groups was 11.2 months (95%CI:8.3-14.1) and 13.4 months (95%CI:9.9-16.9) respectively, with no statistical difference (P=0.137). Conclusion: Compared with single 125I-seed strands, double 125I-seed strands can prolong biliary SP and mPFS, but the long-term survival index still needs further observation.

[Risk factors analysis and prediction model construction of submucosal deep infiltration of early colorectal tumor]

Objective: To investigate the risk factors for the development of deep infiltration in early colorectal tumors (ECT) and to construct a prediction model to predict the development of deep infiltration in patients with ECT. Methods: The clinicopathological data of ECT patients who underwent endoscopic treatment or surgical treatment at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from August 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The independent risk factors were analyzed by multifactorial regression analysis, and the prediction models were constructed and validated by nomogram. Results: Among the 717 ECT patients, 590 patients were divided in the within superficial infiltration 1 (SM1) group (infiltration depth within SM1) and 127 patients in the exceeding SM1 group (infiltration depth more than SM1). There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, and lesion location between the two groups (P>0.05). The statistically significant differences were observed in tumor morphological staging, preoperative endoscopic assessment performance, vascular tumor emboli and nerve infiltration, and degree of tumor differentiation (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that only erosion or rupture (OR=4.028, 95% CI: 1.468, 11.050, P=0.007), localized depression (OR=3.105, 95% CI: 1.584, 6.088, P=0.001), infiltrative JNET staging (OR=5.622, 95% CI: 3.029, 10.434, P<0.001), and infiltrative Pit pattern (OR=2.722, 95% CI: 1.347, 5.702, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for the development of deep submucosal infiltration in ECT. Nomogram was constructed with the included independent risk factors, and the nomogram was well distinguished and calibrated in predicting the occurrence of deep submucosal infiltration in ECT, with a C-index and area under the curve of 0.920 (95% CI: 0.811, 0.929). Conclusion: The nomogram prediction model constructed based on only erosion or rupture, local depression, infiltrative JNET typing, and infiltrative Pit pattern has a good predictive efficacy in the occurrence of deep submucosal infiltration in ECT.

[Outcome of surgical repair for aortic coarctation with coexisting descending aortic aneurysm in adult patients]

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment of aortic coarctation combined with descending aortic aneurysm in adult patients. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Adult patients with aortic coarctation who were hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2015 to April 2019 were enrolled. The aortic coarctation was diagnosed by aortic CT angiography, and the included patients were divided into the combined descending aortic aneurysm group and the uncomplicated descending aortic aneurysm group based on descending aortic diameter. General clinical data and surgery-related data were collected from the included patients, and death and complications were recorded at 30 days after surgery, and upper limb systolic blood pressure was measured in all patients at discharge. Patients were followed up after discharge by outpatient visit or telephone call for their survival and the occurrence of repeat interventions and adverse events, which included death, cerebrovascular events, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, hypertension, postoperative restenosis, and other cardiovascular-related interventions. Results: A total of 107 patients with aortic coarctation aged (34.1±15.2) years were included, and 68 (63.6%) were males. There were 16 cases in the combined descending aortic aneurysm group and 91 cases in the uncomplicated descending aortic aneurysm group. In the combined descending aortic aneurysm group, 6 cases (6/16) underwent artificial vessel bypass, 4 cases (4/16) underwent thoracic aortic artificial vessel replacement, 4 cases (4/16) underwent aortic arch replacement+elephant trunk procedure, and 2 cases (2/16) underwent thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the choice of surgical approach (all P>0.05). In the combined descending aortic aneurysm group at 30 days after surgery, one case underwent re-thoracotomy surgery, one case developed incomplete paraplegia of the lower extremity, and one case died; and the differences in the incidence of endpoint events at 30 days after surgery were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Systolic blood pressure in the upper extremity at discharge was significantly lower in both groups compared with the preoperative period (in the combined descending aortic aneurysm group: (127.3±16.3) mmHg vs. (140.9±16.3) mmHg, P=0.030, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa; in the uncomplicated descending aortic aneurysm group: (120.7±13.2) mmHg vs. (151.8±26.3) mmHg, P=0.001). The follow-up time was 3.5 (3.1, 4.4) years. There were no new deaths in the combined descending aortic aneurysm group, no transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction or re-thoracotomy surgery, and one patient (1/15) suffered cerebral infarction and 10 patients (10/15) were diagnosed with hypertension. The differences in the occurrence of endpoint events during postoperative follow-up were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: In experienced centers, long-term prognosis of patients with aortic coarctation combined with descending aortic aneurysm is satisfactory post surgical intervention.

[Risk factors for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic noncurable resection of early colorectal cancer]

Objective: Risk factors related to residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic non-curative resection of early colorectal cancer were analyzed to predict the risk of residual cancer or lymph node metastasis, optimize the indications of radical surgical surgery, and avoid excessive additional surgical operations. Methods: Clinical data of 81 patients who received endoscopic treatment for early colorectal cancer in the Department of Endoscopy, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2009 to 2019 and received additional radical surgical surgery after endoscopic resection with pathological indication of non-curative resection were collected to analyze the relationship between various factors and the risk of residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic resection. Results: Of the 81 patients, 17 (21.0%) were positive for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis, while 64 (79.0%) were negative. Among 17 patients with residual cancer or positive lymph node metastasis, 3 patients had only residual cancer (2 patients with positive vertical cutting edge). 11 patients had only lymph node metastasis, and 3 patients had both residual cancer and lymph node metastasis. Lesion location, poorly differentiated cancer, depth of submucosal invasion ≥2 000 μm, venous invasion were associated with residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that poorly differentiated cancer (OR=5.513, 95% CI: 1.423, 21.352, P=0.013) was an independent risk factor for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic non-curative resection of early colorectal cancer. Conclusions: For early colorectal cancer after endoscopic non-curable resection, residual cancer or lymph node metastasis is associated with poorly differentiated cancer, depth of submucosal invasion ≥2 000 μm, venous invasion and the lesions are located in the descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon and cecum with the postoperative mucosal pathology result. For early colorectal cancer, poorly differentiated cancer is an independent risk factor for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic non-curative resection, which is suggested that radical surgery should be added after endoscopic treatment.

[The risk prediction value of paraquat poisoning dose, urine protein and myocardial enzymes]

Objective: To explore the value of paraquat (PQ) intake, urine protein and myocardial enzyme indexes in judging the prognosis of patients with acute PQ poisoning. Methods: From September to December 2021, all 201 patients with acute PQ poisoning admitted to Guangzhou Twelfth People's Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. Based on follow-up results 60 days after poisoning, the research objects were divided into survival group (n=78) and death group (n=123) . The differences in information about poisoning, treatment plan, PQ intake, urine protein, creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase between the two groups of patients were compared and analyzed. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the correlation between poisoning outcome and PQ intake, urine protein and myocardial enzymes. ROC curve and principal component analysis were used to explore high-efficiency indicators for predicting the outcome of acute PQ poisoning. Results: The PQ intake[50 (20, 100) ml], urine protein (total rank 15570.50) , creatine kinase[ (336.36±261.96) U/L], creatine kinase isoenzyme[ (43.91±43.74) U/L], lactate dehydrogenase [ (346.01±196.50) U/L], α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase content[ (271.23±11.92) U/L] of patients in the death group were all higher than the survival group[15 (10, 20) ml, 4730.50, (187.78±178.06) U/L, (18.88±15.50) U/L, (190.92±60.50) U/L, (152.60±48.34) U/L, respectively] (P<0.05) . The outcome of acute PQ poisoning was positively correlated with PQ intake, urine protein, creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (P<0.05) . Multivariate logistic regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase was positively correlated with the prognosis of patients with acute PQ poisoning (P<0.05) . ROC curve analysis and principal component analysis showed that the combined indexes of PQ intake, urine protein and myocardial enzymes had the highest efficacy and weight in judging the prognosis of patients (AUC=0.91, weight coefficient=0.19, sensitivity=0.76, specificity=0.89) . When the combined score was ≥4, the probability of accurately predicting the death of patients was as high as 91% (positive predictive value=0.91) . Conclusion: PQ intake, urine protein combined with creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase has high value in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute PQ poisoning.

[Emphasis on the treatment of biliary liver disease]

Biliary liver disease refers to a group of diseases in which lesions of the biliary system cause liver damage. Early detection and standardized treatment can improve patient outcomes and prolong survival.Treatment includes pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and combination therapy. However, due to the involvement of a variety of diseases and different treatment characteristics, multidisciplinary cooperation is required when necessary, and there are still certain problems to be solved in the treatment.

[Clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of 1 166 patients with uveal melanoma]

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and survival of Chinese uveal melanoma (UM) patients. Methods: It was a retrospective case series study. Clinical data and demography characteristics of 1 166 UM patients who were diagnosed in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2004 to January 2020 were collected. The disease was followed up after informed consent was obtained. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to visualize survival outcomes, and the different risk groups were compared using the Log-rank test. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to select independent prognostic risk factors. Results: A total of 1 166 individuals (598 men, 568 women) were included in this study. The average age was (47.6±12.2) years. Median follow-up time was 38 months. Treatment included episcleral brachytherapy in 881 (75.6%) patients, local tumor resection in 38 (3.2%) patients, laser therapy in 115 (9.9%) patients and primary enucleation in 119 (10.2%) patients. In 120 patients out of the 881 patients with primary brachytherapy, enucleation was performed due to an increasing tumor size or uncontrolled neovascular glaucoma. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the 5-and 10-year metastasis rates were 18.5% and 26.8%, and the melanoma-related mortality rates were 13.6% and 22.2%, respectively. The Log-rank test showed that patient age (χ²=5.01) and gender (χ²=7.19), as well as tumor grade (χ²=49.11), shape (χ²=34.73), location (χ²=18.60), pathological type (χ²=8.07), presence of subretinal fluid (χ²=15.71) and ciliary body involvement (χ²=19.72) were factors influencing patient prognoses (all P<0.05). In the multivariate Cox analysis, the T2, T3, T4 tumors (compared with the T1 tumor, HR=4.41, 6.82, 10.49), subretinal fluid (HR=1.98), ciliary body involvement (HR=1.79), being male (HR=1.53) and advanced age (greater than 53 years old) (HR=1.83) were independent risk factors for poor prognoses (all P<0.05). Conclusions: UM occurs at a significantly earlier age and non-pigmented tumors represent smaller proportion in Chinese patients. Higher T-stage, presence of subretinal fluid, ciliary body involvement, advanced age, and being male are independent risk factors for poor outcomes.

[Establishment and clinical validation of an artificial intelligence YOLOv51 model for the detection of precancerous lesions and superficial esophageal cancer in endoscopic procedure]

Objective: To construct the diagnostic model of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and precancerous lesions in endoscopic images based on the YOLOv5l model by using deep learning method of artificial intelligence to improve the diagnosis of early ESCC and precancerous lesions under endoscopy. Methods: 13, 009 endoscopic esophageal images of white light imaging (WLI), narrow band imaging (NBI) and lugol chromoendoscopy (LCE) were collected from June 2019 to July 2021 from 1, 126 patients at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, including low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, ESCC limited to the mucosal layer, benign esophageal lesions and normal esophagus. By computerized random function method, the images were divided into a training set (11, 547 images from 1, 025 patients) and a validation set (1, 462 images from 101 patients). The YOLOv5l model was trained and constructed with the training set, and the model was validated with the validation set, while the validation set was diagnosed by two senior and two junior endoscopists, respectively, to compare the diagnostic results of YOLOv5l model and those of the endoscopists. Results: In the validation set, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the YOLOv5l model in diagnosing early ESCC and precancerous lesions in the WLI, NBI and LCE modes were 96.9%, 87.9%, 98.3%, 88.8%, 98.1%, and 98.6%, 89.3%, 99.5%, 94.4%, 98.2%, and 93.0%, 77.5%, 98.0%, 92.6%, 93.1%, respectively. The accuracy in the NBI model was higher than that in the WLI model (P<0.05) and lower than that in the LCE model (P<0.05). The diagnostic accuracies of YOLOv5l model in the WLI, NBI and LCE modes for the early ESCC and precancerous lesions were similar to those of the 2 senior endoscopists (96.9%, 98.8%, 94.3%, and 97.5%, 99.6%, 91.9%, respectively; P>0.05), but significantly higher than those of the 2 junior endoscopists (84.7%, 92.9%, 81.6% and 88.3%, 91.9%, 81.2%, respectively; P<0.05). Conclusion: The constructed YOLOv5l model has high accuracy in diagnosing early ESCC and precancerous lesions in endoscopic WLI, NBI and LCE modes, which can assist junior endoscopists to improve diagnosis and reduce missed diagnoses.

[Transoral robotic nasopharyngectomy for local recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma]

Objective: To investigate the safety, efficacy, locally control and survival results of transoral Da Vinci robotic surgery for salvage treatment of locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods: This retrospective study included 33 patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (stage rT1-2, partial rT3) underwent transoral Da Vinci robotic surgery between October 2017 and January 2020. There were 20 males and 11 females, with an average age of (47.9±10.5) years. The lesions were localized in nasopharyngeal cavity in 14 cases, with extending to parapharyngeal space in 6 cases and the floor of sphenoid sinus in 13 cases. Transnasal endoscopy was used to assist surgery if necessary. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Transoral robotic nasopharyngectomy was successfully performed in all cases without conversion to open surgery, of which 13 cases were combined with transnasal endoscopic surgery. The average operation time was (126.2±30.0) min, ranging from 90 to 180 min. The postoperative pathological margin was R0 (31 cases) and R1 (2 cases), with no tumor residue. Complications of surgery mainly included symptoms of headache, nasal dryness and velopharyngeal insufficiency without nasopharyngeal hemorrhage. Follow-up time was from 3 to 54 months. One case had tumor recurrence 11 months after operation, 1 case had ipsilateral cervical lymph node metastasis 27 months after operation, 2 cases had distant metastasis and 1 case died of nasopharyngeal hemorrhage 3 months after operation. The 1-year, 2-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 97.0%, 96.0% and 92.9%, respectively and the local recurrence free rates were 97.0%, 95.7% and 91.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Transoral robotic nasopharyngectomy is safe and feasible for local recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma in selected patients, with higher local control rate and quality of life.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 931 PBC cases in Beijing You'an Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from 2010 to 2019. According to the detection of gp210 antibody, 318 cases were divided into gp210 antibody positive group (positive group) and 613 cases were divided into gp210 antibody negative group (negative group). The differences in demographic, medical history, clinical indicators, B-ultrasound and pathological indicators as well as the histopathological basis were compared between the two groups. SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Measurement data were analyzed by t-test or rank sum test, and enumeration data by χ² test. Multivariate analysis was used for logistic test, and and survival analysis was used for prognosis. Results: The positive and the negative groups were compared. The ratio of male to female was significantly higher in positive than negative group (1:5.35 vs. 1:9.73, P＜0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. The proportion of hormone use in history of past diagnosed and treated was higher in positive than negative group (12.9% vs. 3.47%, P＜0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. The detection of biochemical indexes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) were higher in positive than the negative group (51.1 U/L vs. 41.1 U/L, 62.6 U/L vs. 49.6 U/L, 24.1 μmol/L vs. 17.9 μmol/L, 228.3 U/L vs. 169.6 U/L, 203.9 U/L vs. 147.6 U/L), (P＜0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. Antinuclear antibody (ANA)-positive rate, high titer ratio and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were higher in positive than negative group (95.2% vs. 81.6%, 69.7% vs. 48.8%, 17.2 g/L vs. 16.2 g/L), (P＜0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. The incidence of liver failure was higher in positive than negative group (P＜0.05). CK7 and inflammation score were higher in positive group than negative group in liver histopathological observations (0.83±0.53 vs. 0.28±0.47; 1.06±0.39 vs. 0.54±0.65), (P＜0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: The illness condition of patients with gp210 antibody positive PBC is more severe than patients with gp210 antibody negative PBC, and the incidence of liver failure is significantly increased. Cholangiocytes may be the histopathological basis of the clinical characteristics of gp210 antibody positive PBC patients.

[Characteristics of clinical and laboratory indexes in patients with liver disease with positive anti-liver cytosol antibody]

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of clinical and laboratory indexes in patients with liver disease with positive anti-liver cytosol antibody type 1 (anti-LC1), in order to provide references for clinical and differential diagnosis. Methods: The clinical data of 23 832 inpatients and outpatients with positive anti-LC1 autoantibodies detected in routine autoantibody test from January 2010 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and their clinical and laboratory indexes were compared. Western blotting was used to detect anti-LC1, anti-soluble liver antigen antibody (anti-SLA), anti-glycoprotein 210 antibodies and anti-nucleosome 100 antibodies. Indirect immunofluorescence assay was used to detect anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-mitochondrial antibody, anti-Smooth muscle antibody (ASMA), anti-liver and kidney microsomal antibody (anti-LKM) and other autoantibodies. Normally distributed measurement data between the two groups were compared by independent-sample t-test, and the multiple groups comparison were compared by one-way analysis of variance. Non-normally distributed measurement data were compared by non-parametric rank sum test. Results: 38 anti-LC1 positive patients were detected in 23832 autoantibody tests. The age of initial diagnosis ranged from 11.0 to 84.0 (50.6 ± 16.0) years. There were 8 males (21.1%) and 30 females (78.9%). A total of 31 cases (81.6%) were positive for anti-LC1 and ANA, and the dominant karyotype was speckled pattern, accounting for 54.8%. Five cases (13.2%) were positive for ASMA, and no simultaneous positive with anti-LKM or anti-SLA. Among the 38 anti-LC1 positive patients, 9 were diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), 6 with possible AIH, 6 with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), 8 with hepatitis B, 2 with hepatitis C, 1 with alcoholic liver disease, 2 with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, 1 with drug-induced liver injury, 1 with hepatolenticular degeneration, and 2 with tumor. Confirmed and probable AIH cases accounted for 39.5% (15/38) of anti-LC1 positive cases. Among anti-LC1 positive patients, 47.4% (18/38) had entered the stage of liver cirrhosis. AIH group globulin level was higher than HBV group (P = 0.006) and other disease groups (P = 0.001). AIH group IgG level was higher than PBC group (P = 0.027), HBV group (P = 0.009) and other disease groups (P = 0.004). the of the PBC group IgM level was higher than AIH group (P = 0.003), HBV group (P = 0.003) and other disease groups (P = 0.006). Conclusion: Anti-LC1 is not only detected in AIH, but also observed in patients with primary biliary cholangitis, hepatitis B and C, alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, hereditary metabolic liver disease and tumor. In addition, it is mainly female gender dominance and nearly half of ANA-positive young, middle-aged and elderly patients develop liver cirrhosis. For the diagnosis of type 2 autoimmune hepatitis, whether anti-LC1 is a specific antibody needs further research, but if AIH is highly suspected, this antibody can be used as a substitute.

[Analysis of influencing factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders of workers in a cabinet factory]

Objective: To investigate the occurrence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the cabinet factory workers, and explore the influencing factors of workers' WMSDs. Methods: A cross-sectional survey method was used to investigate the risk factors such as basic conditions, labox dnganiza, ergonomics load and occurrence of WMSDs of 821 workers in a cabinet factory of a furniture manufacturing company in Guangdong Province using the electronic version of the Musculoskeletal Injury Questionnaire from October to December 2019. χ(2) test and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors leading to WMSDs. Results: The incidence of WMSDs in cabinet production workers reached 51.5% (423/821) , and the top three incidences were shoulder (28.4%, 233/821) , neck (28.1%, 231/821) , and wrist (25.9%, 213/821) . The incidence of neck WMSDs was statistically significant among different types of work (P<0.05) . Multiple repetitive operations per minute (OR=1.70) , torso often maintaining the same posture (OR=1.61) , turning heads for a long time (OR=1.58) and frequent heavy lifting (OR=1.44) were risk factors for the occurrence of shoulder WMSDs (P<0.05) . Frequent maintenance of the same posture in the neck (OR=1.91) , repeated operations per minute (OR=1.87) , shortage of department staff (OR=1.65) and turning head for a long time (OR=1.48) were risk factors for the occurrence of neck WMSDs (P<0.05) . Long-term bending of the wrist (OR=2.25) , grasping objects tightly (OR=2.13) , working hard on the upper limbs or hands (OR=1.91) , shortage of department personnel (OR=1.84) , repeated operations per minute (OR=1.68) and the use of vibration tools (OR=1.51) were risk factors for the occurrence of WMSDs in the wrist (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The incidence of WMSDs in cabinet factory is relatively high, the occurrence of WMSDs in the shoulders, necks and wrists is more serious. Reasonable labor organization and reducing the load of poor ergonomics in the workplace, can reduce the occurrence of WMSDs in production workers.

Spin structures of the ground states of four body bound systems with spin 3 cold atoms

We consider the case that four spin-3 atoms are confined in an optical trap. The temperature is so low that the spatial degrees of freedom have been frozen. Exact numerical and analytical solutions for the spin-states have been both obtained. Two kinds of phase-diagrams for the ground states (g.s.) have been plotted. In general, the eigen-states with the total-spin S (a good quantum number) can be expanded in terms of a few basis-states \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{S,i}$$\end{document}fS,i.

[Analysis of risk factors for delayed bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection of gastric epithelial neoplasm]

Objective: To determine the potential risk factors of delayed hemorrhage after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients with early gastric carcinomas or precancerous lesions. Methods: The clinical data of 637 patients with early gastric carcinomas (EGC) who treated with ESD in Department of Endoscopy at Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from August 2013 to August 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were conducted to evaluate the risk factors associated with delayed bleeding. Results: A total of 699 lesions in 637 patients, of which 696 lesions were resected enbloc, the curative resection rate was 92.1% (644/699). The pathological diagnosis after ESD showed that 46 cases were low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 71 were high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and 582 were cancer. Delayed bleeding occurred in 74 lesions, while other 625 lesions without postoperative bleeding. The incidence was 10.6%. Compared with the non-bleeding group, there were statistically significant differences in the maximum length of the lesion, the gross shape of the lesion, the control of intra operative bleeding, and the operation time in the delayed bleeding group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum length of the lesion and the gross shape of the lesion were independent factors of delayed bleeding after ESD. Delayed bleeding was inclined to occur in patients with lesion size ≥3.0 cm (OR=1.958, 95% CI: 1.162-3.299) and the superficial and flat lesion (OR=10.598, 95% CI: 1.313-85.532) after ESD. Conclusions: The maximum length of the lesion and the gross shape of the lesion are independent impact factors of delayed bleeding occurring in patients with EGC and precancerous lesions after ESD. Patients with lesion size≥3 cm, or superficial flat lesion should be paid attention after ESD operation. It needs to take timely measures to prevent the very likely bleeding in order to ensure postoperative recovery and improve the quality of life for postoperative patients.

[Diagnostic value of combined detection of different indicators for type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with atherosclerotic disease]

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of serum lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), amyloid A (SAA) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) mellitus complicated with atherosclerotic disease. Methods: From June to December 2019, 224 patients with T2DM in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University were selected, including 144 males and 80 females, aged (61±11) years. According to the results of imaging examination, the patients were divided into T2DM with AS group (T2DM-AS group, n=160) and T2DM group (n=64); Healthy subjects in the same period were selected as healthy control group (n=160). Lp-PLA2, IgE, SAA, hs-CRP, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and Hcy were detected in all patients and healthy controls. The correlation between the above indexes, gender, age and T2DM with AS was analyzed; Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of T2DM with AS. Results: Compared with the healthy control group, the levels of IgE and Lp-PLA2 in T2DM-AS group and T2DM group were increased, and the levels of SAA in T2DM-AS group were increased (all P<0.05); Compared with T2DM group, the levels of Lp-PLA2, IgE and SAA were increased in T2DM-AS group (all P<0.05). T2DM with AS was positively correlated with age, IgE, Lp-PLA2 and SAA (r=0.468, 0.269, 0.486, 0.418, all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with HDL-C (r=-0.338, P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=0.865, 95%CI: 0.763-0.982, P<0.05), IgE (OR=0.910, 95%CI: 0.840-0.987, P<0.05) and Lp-PLA2 (OR=0.942, 95%CI: 0.910-0.986, P<0.05) were risk factors of T2DM with AS. ROC curve showed that the combined detection of Lp-PLA2, SAA and IgE could improve the diagnostic efficiency of T2DM with AS (AUC=0.895, P<0.05), the sensitivity was 80.0%, and the specificity was 93.7%. Conclusion: The levels of Lp-PLA2, IgE and SAA increase in T2DM patients with AS. The combined detection of Lp-PLA2, SAA and IgE can improve the diagnostic efficiency of T2DM patients with AS.

[Health survey and analysis of workers exposed to noise and dust in a candy manufacturing enterprise]

Objective: To investigate the occupational hazards and the health status of workers in a candy manufacturing enterprise, to study the nonspecific effects of noise on cardiovascular and digestive systems, and to further explore the combined effect of noise and dust on workers' health. Methods: In 2019, all 564 employees of a candy manufacturing enterprise in Guangzhou were selected as the research objects. According to the exposure to occupational hazards, the research objects were divided into control group (101 persons) , noise exposure group (272 persons) and noise dust combined exposure group (191 persons) . According to the requirements of GBZ 188-2014 "Technical Specification for Occupational Health Monitoring", the employees were given occupational health examination. Blood pressure, electrocardiogram, liver function, binaural pure tone audiometry and other indicators were analyzed by gender, age and length of service. Results: The abnormal hearing rate of the workers in the control group, noise exposure group, and noise dust combined exposure group were 12.9% (13/101) , 24.6% (67/272) , and 36.1% (69/191) , respectively, showing a significant increasing trend (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the abnormal rates of electrocardiogram, abnormal blood pressure and fatty liver detection rate of the workers in the noise exposure group and the noise dust combined exposure group were significantly increased (P<0.017) . The abnormal hearing rate and fatty liver detection rate of male employees showed an increasing trend among the three groups (P<0.05) . The abnormal hearing and blood pressure rates of 40 to 49-year-old employees showed an increasing trend (P<0.05) . The rates of abnormal hearing of employees with≥50 years old and working experience <10 and 10-19 years showed an increasing trend (P<0.05) . The abnormal rate of electrocardiogram and the fatty liver detection rate of employees with more than 20 years of service had an increasing trend (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Noise is the main occupational hazard factor in candy manufacturing enterprises, which may be related to cardiovascular system and digestive system damage. At the same time, dust may strengthen the hearing loss caused by noise.

[Clinical effects of retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps assisted with computed tomography angiography in repairing skin and soft tissue defects around the knee or in proximal lower leg]

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps assisted with computed tomography angiography (CTA) in repairing skin and soft tissue defects around the knee or in proximal lower leg. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From May 2015 to October 2019, 17 patients with skin and soft tissue defects around the knee or in proximal lower leg were admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of Jizhong Energy Xingtai Mig General Hospital, including 12 males and 5 females, aged 16-65 years, with an average age of 35 years. The areas of skin and soft tissue defects after debridement ranged from 6.0 cm×3.0 cm to 15.0 cm×9.0 cm. The retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps were designed according to the origin and distribution of the perforating branches in flaps and the length of the vascular pedicle examined with CTA and the condition of the wound to repair the wounds. The areas of resected flaps ranged from 6.5 cm×3.5 cm to 15.5 cm×9.5 cm. The wounds in donor sites of flaps were sutured directly or covered with medium-thickness skin grafts from healthy upper leg. The sources of the perforating branches in flaps were recorded. The lateral circumflex femoral artery, its branches, and the relative length of the vascular pedicle were compared between preoperative CTA detection and intraoperative observation. The survivals of the flaps were observed. At the last follow-up, the effects of flaps in repairing wounds were evaluated according to evaluation standard of efficacy satisfaction; the motion ranges of flexion and extension of the knee joint were measured, and the knee joint function was evaluated according to the Hohl knee joint function evaluation standard; the sensory function in the flap area was evaluated according to the sensory function evaluation standard formulated by the British Medical Research Council; the wound healing and the occurrence of complication affecting motor function of limb of flap donor sites was observed. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test. Results: The perforating branches in flaps originated from descending branches, oblique branches, and rectus femoris branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery in 7, 6, and 4 patients, respectively. The flaps with blood supply from descending branches, oblique branches, and rectus femoris branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery were type 1, 2, and 3 retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps, respectively. The preoperative CTA examination of lateral circumflex femoral artery and its branches were consistent with those observed during operation. The relative lengths of vascular pedicles of type 1, 2, and 3 retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps calculated after CTA examination were 0.32±0.13, 0.56±0.07, and 0.56±0.15, which were close to 0.35±0.12, 0.52±0.10, and 0.53±0.12 measured and calculated during operation, respectively (t=0.45, 0.80, 0.31, P>0.05). All flaps survived in 17 cases without vascular crisis. At the last follow-up, 16 patients were satisfied with effects of flaps in wound repair, with 1 patient feeling average about the effect; the flexion range of knee joint was 100-120°, and the extension range of knee joint was -2-0°; knee joint function was evaluated as excellent in 9 cases, good in 7 cases, and poor in 1 case; the sensory function of the flap area reached S₄ level in 2 cases, S₃ level in 8 cases, and S₂ level in 7 cases; the wounds in flap donor sites healed well; there was no adverse effect in motor function of limbs. Conclusions: Retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flap is an effective method for repairing skin and soft tissue defects around the knee or in proximal lower leg. Preoperative CTA examination can fully show the anatomical characteristics of the branches of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the perforating vessels of each branch, which can guide preoperative flap design and operation, thus shortening operation time and improving flap survival rate, with good clinical effects.

Objective: To analyze the effects of noise exposure on the hearing at different frequencies in workers from the automobile manufacturing industry. Methods: A total of 4723 noise workers in a large automobile manufacturing company in Guangzhou were chosen as the research object by using judgment sampling method between April and July, 2018, and carried out 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0 kHz pure tone audiometry threshold to analyze the characteristics of the status of hearing loss at different frequencies and its relationship with the noise exposure time. Results: The detection rate of hearing loss in noise-exposed workers was 29.8% (1406/4723) . Among them, the binaural hearing loss was 21.2% (999/4723) , and single unilateral hearing loss accounted for 8.6% (407/4723) . The hearing loss detection rate of right ear was higher than that of the left ear (P<0.05) , especially in the 6.0 kHz (P<0.001) . The detection rate of increased speech frequency hearing threshold was 1.9% (90/4723) , and the detection rate of increased high-frequency hearing threshold was 28.9% (1366/4723) . The detection rate of increased threshold in both the left and the right ear increased with the increase of frequency (P<0.001) , the increased hearing threshold was the highest at the frequency of 6.0 kHz. The auditory threshold of left ear in 0.5 kHz were higher than that of right ear at the same frequency (P<0.05) . The detection rate of hearing loss increased with the increase of noise exposure time (P<0.001) , and the increased threshold of 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0 kHz from workers increased with the increase of noise exposure time (P<0.001) . Conclusion: There is a significant increased threshold in workers exposed to noise frequency of 6.0 kHz, right ear is more easily damaged than left ear, there is a dose-response relationship for the noise exposure time and high-frequency hearing loss.

[Efficacy and safety of endoscopic papillectomy of major duodenal papilla neoplasms]

Objective: To discuss the efficacy and safety of endoscopic papillectomy of major duodenal papilla neoplasms. Methods: The clinical-pathological data of 21 patients who were admitted to the Department of Endoscopy, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and underwent endoscopic papillectomy of major duodenal papilla neoplasms from January 2014 to January 2020 were retrospectively studied, their postoperative outcomes and complication were also analyzed. Results: Tweenty-one patients were successfully performed endoscopic papillectomy of major duodenal papilla neoplasms. The resected lesions varied between 0.5-2.8 cm. Completed lesion was resected in 19 cases and lesion blocks in 2 cases. The incidence of postoperative complication was 52.4% (11/21), including 8 cases of postoperative bleeding (38.1%). Five patients stopped bleeding after endoscopic hemostasis and 3 patients stopped after interventional embolization. Two patients experienced perforation (9.5%) and recovered after conservative treatment including anti-inflammatory treatment and abdominal drainage. Five patients had pancreatitis (23.8%) and recovered after treatment with pre-somatostatin and anti-inflammatory rectal suppository. Preoperative pathological results of 21 patients suggested that 11 were high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and 8 were low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and 2 were chronic inflammation. Postoperative pathological results suggested that 4 were adenocarcinoma, and the rest 17 were adenoma. The coincidence rate of preoperative biopsy results and postoperative pathology was 38.1%(8/21), and underestimate of the pathological stage occurred in 11 patients (52.4%) during the preoperative biopsy, overestimate occurred in two patients (9.5%). Four cases had a positive incisal margin. All patients had good prognoses and no death event occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusions: Early-stage major duodenal papilla neoplasms should be treated with aggressive resection. Endoscopic papillectomy of duodenal papilla neoplasms is safe, effective, and can be recommended as the preferred procedure for major duodenal papilla neoplasms.

[Analysis of the level of T lymphocyte subsets and the relationship with the prognosis of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with paraquat poisoning]

Objective: To analyze the levels of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD4/CD8) in patients with paraquat poisoning, and to explore the relationship between the changes of T lymphocyte subsets and the prognosis of pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: In October 2019, a total of 47 patients with oral 20% paraquat low water solvent poisoning in Guangzhou 12th people's Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into early death group (16 cases died within 2 weeks) and non early death group (31 cases survived more than 2 weeks) . The non early death group was divided into pulmonary fibrosis group (23 cases) and normal lung group (8 cases) . 20 healthy people in the same period were randomly selected as the control group. The neutrophils (N) , C reaction protein (CRP) , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , creatinine (Cr) , amylase (aAMY) , creatine kinase isoenzyme (CKMB) , pH, HCO(3)(-), blood oxygen saturation (SO(2)) and lactic acid (Lac) of patients poisoned within 3 d were examined every day. Independent sample t-test was used for inter group comparison, and paired sample t-test was used for intra group comparison. Results: Compared with non early death group, the levels of N, CRP, ALT, Cr, aAMY, CKMB and Lac in early death group increased (P<0.05) , while pH and HCO(3)(-) decreased (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the levels of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 were decreased on the first day in the early death group and non early death group (P<0.05) , and the levels of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 were decreased on the 15th day in the pulmonary fibrosis group (P<0.05) . Compared with the normal lung group, the levels of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 in the pulmonary fibrosis group decreased on the 15th day (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The persistent low cellular immune function in patients with paraquat poisoning is related to the progress of pulmonary fibrosis, which is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients with pulmonary fibrosis.

Serum metabolic markers and metabolic pathways in rats with metabolomic cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis

The aim of this study was to explore the dynamic changes in characteristic serum metabolic markers and pathways during early sepsis in rats. By using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), we made rat models of sepsis, which were randomly divided into 5 groups with 10 rats in each group: group A, group B, group C, group D, and group E. We collected 2 mL of arterial blood at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours from rats in group A-E respectively and isolated serum via centrifugation. Next, adopting metabolomics analysis methods, we screened for metabolites from the animal serum with statistically and biologically significant abundance changes, and used the KEGG database to analyze the respective metabolic pathways. In all, our findings reveal that D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, D-glucosamine phosphate, α-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate, D-glucosamine 1-phosphate, and 5-hydroxy isocyanate decline continuously from 12 hours, while L-phenylalanine, (S) -α-amino-β-phenylpropionic acid, 5-methoxy indole acetic acid salt, 5-methoxy indole acetic acid, goose deoxyglycolic acid salt, goose deoxyglycolic acid, and Chen's deoxygenated sugar alcohol started to decrease from 6 hours. Additionally, 3.2,3-Bis-O-(geranyl geranyl)-sn-glycerol- 1-phosphoric acid-L-serine levels rose continuously from 12 hours. We found 13 differentially regulated ions, primarily ones involved in pathways responsible for the metabolism of sugar, amino acids, and lipids, which are related to the disorder of energy metabolism. Our findings mark serum-derived D-glucosamine and its phosphorous derivatives as characteristic metabolic markers of sepsis in rats.

[Clinicopathological features of the colorectal serrated adenoma and analysis on influencing factors of malignancy]

Objective: Serrated adenoma is recognized as a precancerous lesion of colorectal cancer, and the serrated pathway is considered as an important pathway that can independently develop into colorectal cancer. However, little is known about the related risk factors of carcinogenesis of serrated adenoma. The purpose of this study was to analyze the distribution characteristics and potential malignant factors of serrated adenoma in the colon and rectum. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted to collect the clinical data of patients with serrated adenoma who underwent colonoscopy and were pathologically diagnosed in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from April 2017 to July 2019, and exclude patients with two or more pathological types of lesions. The clinical characteristics of serrated adenoma were summarized, and univariate and logistic multivariate regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors for serrated adenoma to develop malignant transformation. Results: Among 28 730 patients undergoing colonoscopy, 311 (1.08%) were found with 372 serrated adenomas, among which 22 (5.9%) were sessile serrated adenomas/polyps, 84 (22.6%) were traditional serrated adenomas, and 266 (71.5%) were unclassified serrated adenomas according to WHO classification. The pathological results showed that 106 (28.5%) lesions were non-dysplasia, 228 (61.3%) lesions were low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and 38 (10.2%) lesions were high grade intraepithelial neoplasia or cancer. There were 204 (54.8%) lesions with long-axis diameter <10 mm and 168 (45.2%) lesions with length long-axis ≥ 10 mm. 238 (64.0%) lesions were found in the left side colon and rectum and 134 (36.0%) lesions in the right side colon. Gross classification under endoscopy: 16 flat type lesions (4.3%), 174 sessile lesions (46.8%), 117 semi-pedunculated lesions (31.5%), 59 pedunculated lesions (15.9%). Narrow-band imaging international colorectal endoscopic (NICE) classification: 85 (22.8%) type I lesions, 280 (75.3%) type II lesions, 4 (1.1%) type III lesions. Univariate analysis showed that lesion size, lesion location, lesion site and different WHO classifications were associated with malignant transformation of colorectal serrated adenoma (all P<0.05). For the serrated adenomas with different NICE classifications, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of malignant lesions among groups (P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the long-axis diameter of the lesion ≥10 mm (OR=6.699, 95% CI: 2.843-15.786) and the lesion locating in the left side colorectum (OR=2.657, 95% CI: 1.042-6.775) were independent risk factors for malignant transformation. Conclusions: Serrated adenomas mainly locate in the left side colon and rectum, and are prone to malignant transformation when the lesions are ≥10 mm in long-axis diameter or left-sided.

[Long-term outcomes of Bryan artificial cervical disc replacement for degenerative cervical spondylosis]

Objective: To compare the long-term clinical effect and imaging results of Bryan artificial cervical disc replacement (ACDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and to explore whether ACDR can reduce the occurrence of postoperative adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) in the treatment of degenerative cervical spondylosis. Methods: It was a retrospective study. Total of 60 patients with degenerative cervical spondylosis, who had received operations by Bryan ACDR (n=27) and ACDF (n=33) in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2005 and December 2009 were enrolled in this study. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores, neck disability index (NDI), visual analogue scale (VAS), Odom's scale, cervical range of motion (ROM), surgical segment ROM, heterotopic ossification (HO) and ASD were used to evaluate the clinical and radiologic results. The indices abovementioned were compared between the two groups. Results: The VAS, NDI and JOA scores at each follow-up node in both ACDR and ACDF group were all significantly improved when compared with those before operation (all P<0.05), but there was no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). Of all, 88.9%(24/27) of patients in ACDR group and 84.8%(28/33) of patients in ACDF group achieved excellent or good results, however, there was no significant difference in Odom's scale between the two groups (P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the cervical ROM in ACDR group was 43.2°±8.8°, which was slightly lower than that before operation (45.7°±10.4°), the difference was not statistically significant (t=0.954, P=0.345); the surgical segment ROM in ACDR group was 5.9°±3.6°, which was significantly reduced when compared with that before operation (8.8°±3.4°, t=3.043, P<0.01). However at the last follow-up, the cervical ROM in ACDF group was 36.4°±8.4°, which was significantly reduced when compared with that before operation (43.9°±11.1°), the difference was statistically significant (t=3.095, P<0.01). Although, there was no significant difference in the cervical ROM between the two groups before operation (t=0.643, P=0.523), and the difference was statistically significant at the last follow-up (t=3.054, P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the incidence of HO in ACDR group was 92.6%, and the high-grade HO was 37.0%. The incidence of ASD in ACDR group was 39.5%, which was much lower than that in ACDF group (61.1%, χ(2)=4.462, P=0.035). Conclusion: At minimum follow-up of 10 years, Bryan ACDR achieves a satisfactory clinical effect consistent with ACDF. In terms of advantages, ACDR could maintain the ROM of cervical and retain the ROM of the surgical segment, which reduces the occurrence of ASD by preserving motion.

[Impact of "Elaphurus davidianus return home project" on the transmission of schistosomiasis in Poyang Lake areas]

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections in Elaphurus davidianus released to Poyang Lake areas and evaluate the impact of the project of "E. davidianus released to wild environments for natural reproduction and growth" "(E. davidianus return home project") on the transmission of schistosomiasis in Poyang Lake areas.

METHODS

During the period from April 2018 to December 2019, the population distribution, inhabiting activity and natural reproduction of E. davidianus released to Poyang Lake areas were investigated by means of GPS and artificial observations. The S. japonicum infection was identified in animal feces in E. davidianus inhabitats using a hatching test, and snail distribution was surveyed in E. davidianus inhabiting grass islands using a systematic sampling method.

RESULTS

A total of 51 E. davidianus were released to the Poyang Lake areas in 2018, which subsequently produced 5 E. davidianus habitats in Yinlong Lake, Longkou, Nanchi Lake, Lianzi Lake and Zhu Lake. E. davidianus was found to predominantly inhibit in grass islands, farmlands and forest lands in hilly regions around the Poyang Lake areas. The natural reproduction rate of E. davidianus was 25% in the habitats in 2019, and the mean density of snails was 0.009 to 0.039 snails/0.1 m² in E. davidianus inhabitats; however, no S. japonicum infection was identified in snails. In addition, the mean densities of wild E. davidianus and bovine feces were 4.6 samples/hm² and 2.1 samples/hm², Conclusions The E. davidianus released to Poyang Lake areas may get infections with S. japonicum, and cause schistosomiasis transmission through fecal contamination in grass islands. The impact on and the prevalence of S. japonicum infection was 4.35% and 13.16% (P = 0.236), respectively; however, the intensities of S. japonicum infections were "+++" and "+", respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

The E. davidianus released to Poyang Lake areas may get infections with S. japonicum, and cause schistosomiasis transmission through fecal contamination in grass islands. The impact on local schistosomiasis transmission and the response strategy requires to be investigated following the release of E. davidianus to lake regions, to ensure the achievement of the goal of schistosomiasis elimination and the successful implementation of the "E. davidianus return home project" in Poyang Lake areas.

[Effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats]

Objective: To study the effect of the injected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) on rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat (PQ) during different poisoning periods and explore the potential mechanism. Methods: From October to December 2018, BMSCs of SPF SD rats were isolated and purified by whole-bone marrow adherent culture method and cultured to the Third Generation (P3) . The surface antigens CD29, CD90, CD45 and CD34 of P3 BMSC were detected by Flow cytometry, the formation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) , calcium nodules and fat droplets were observed by ALP, Alizarin Red staining and oil red O staining. At the same time, 36 SPF male rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: NC Group (Blank Control Group, injected with the same amount of saline) and PQ group (PQ model group, injected with 20% PQ solution 18 mg/kg intraperitoneally) , bMSC-A group, BMSC-B group, BMSC-C group and BMSC-D group were injected with BMSC suspension 1×10(6) cells/mice at 3 h、3 d、7 d and 14 d after PQ poisoning. After 28 days, the rats were killed, the lung organ coefficients were calculated, the hydroxyproline (HYP) content in lung tissue was calculated by alkaline hydrolysis, and the lung injury and fibrosis were observed by HE and Masson staining, serum TGF-1、TNF-α、MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were detected by Elisa. Results: High Purity BMSCs were successfully isolated and obtained. The P3 BMSC generation was positive expression of CD29、CD90、and negative expression of CD34、CD45, and had the potential of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. The results of HE staining and Masson staining showed that the alveolar structure in NC group was intact and homogeneous, in PQ group, the alveolar structure was severely damaged and a lot of collagen fibers and fibroblasts were deposited, and the degrees of lung injury in each BMSC intervention group were obviously less than in PQ group, in BMSC-A group and BMSC-B group, the degrees of reduction were obvious. Compared with NC group, the Lung organ coefficient, HYP content in lung tissue and TGF-β1, TIMP-1 levels in serum were significantly higher in PQ group (P<0.05) , while TNF-α and MMP-9 had no significant difference (P>0.05) . Compared with PQ group, the lung organ Coefficients, HYP, TGF-1 and TIMP-β1 in BMSC-A and BMSC-B groups were lower than those in PQ group (P<0.05) . The Lung organ coefficients, TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 in BMSC-C and BMSC-D groups were lower than those in PQ group, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) . Conclusion: Early BMSC injecting can alleviate pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ. The mechanism may be that BMSC can reduce pulmonary fibrosis through reducing the level of TGF-β1 and regulating the balance of TIMP-1/MMP-9, threrby reducing inflammatory damage and increasing the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) .

Methods: Ten patients with subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning hospitalized in Guangzhou 12th Municipal People's Hospital from December 2014 to March 2019 were taken as the subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning group, 34 typical acute toxic encephalopathy patients hospitalized at the same time as typical acute toxic encephalopathy group, 40 healthy physical examinees as normal control group. The levels of serum NSE in patients of subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning and typical acute toxic encephalopathy group during onset and improvement were detected by chemiluminescence method, and the results were analyzed statistically. The level of NSE in cerebrospinal fluid of subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning group was detected and analyzed its correlation with the level of NSE in serum. Using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of NSE in subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning and typical acute toxic encephalopathy (area under curve, AUC) . Results: There was no significant difference between the serum NSE level of the patients with subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning in the onset group and the normal control group and the improvement group (P>0.05) . The serum NSE level of subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning in the improvement group was lower than those in the normal control group (P<0.01) . The serum NSE level of the subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning in the onset group was lower than those in the typical acute toxic encephalopathy in the onset group (P<0.01) . There was no linear correlation between cerebrospinal fluid NSE and serum NSE in patients with subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning (r=-0.183, P=0.52) . ROC curve showed that the AUC of serum NSE in diagnosing subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning and typical acute toxic encephalopathy were 0.661 and 0.726, respectively. Conclusion: There is no significant change in serum NSE in patients with subacute 1, 2-DCE poisoning.

[A 5-year follow-up study of pneumoconiosis patients with positive autoantibody]

Objective: To explore the progress of small shadow and the change of lung function in pneumoconiosis with positive autoantibody, so as to provide basis for clinical treatment of pneumoconiosis. Methods: A total of 756 patients were admitted to the pneumoconiosis department of the Guangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital from January 1, 2013 to June 1, 2019. The patients with combined infection were excluded. According to whether the autoantibody was positive, they were divided into positive group and negative group, 25 cases in each group. Follow-up observation of X-ray chest radiographs, chest CT, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) and forced expired flow at 50% of FVC (MEF(50)) of pneumoconiosis patients for 5 years, to analyze the influence of positive autoantibody on the morphology of X-ray chest film, the pneumoconiosis promotion in 5 years and lung function. Results: There were 22 males and 3 females in the autoantibody positive group, aged 53.14±10.51 years. In the autoantibody negative group, there were 23 males and 2 females, aged 53.88±8.10 years. During the 5-year observation period, there was no significant difference of small shadow shape, pneumoconiosis stage, and the pneumoconiosis promotion in 5 years between the autoantibody positive group and the autoantibody negative group (P>0.05). However, the increment of small shadow area in the autoantibody positive group was higher than that in the autoantibody negative group (P<0.05). FEV(1) and MEF(50) of the autoantibody positive group were significantly lower than those of the autoantibody negative group in the fourth and third years, respectively (P<0.05). Positive autoantibody was negatively correlated with FEV(1) and MEF(50) (P<0.05). Conclusion: The positive autoantibody can't promote the progress of X-ray, but show more small shadows on chest CT; the positive autoantibody may aggravate the decline of lung function.

[Combined effect of noise and hand-transmitted vibration on noise-induced hearing loss in the automobile manufacturing industry]

Objective: To investigate the combined effect of noise and hand-transmitted vibration on noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in the automobile manufacturing industry. Methods: From September 2018 to January 2019, cluster sampling was used to select 998 workers in an automobile factory as study subjects, among whom 352 workers exposed to noise alone were enrolled as noise group, 342 workers exposed to noise and hand-transmitted vibration were enrolled as combined effect group, and 304 workers without exposure to occupational hazardous factors were enrolled as control group. A questionnaire survey and pure tone audiometry were performed for all study subjects. An analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; a ordinal polytomous logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for NIHL (with 0.05 as the inclusion criteria and 0.10 as the exclusion criteria for independent variables) . Results: There was a significant difference in L(Aeq, 8 h) between groups (P<0.05) ; the noise group and the combined effect group had a significantly higher L(Aeq, 8 h) than the control group (P<0.05) , while there was no significant difference in L(Aeq, 8 h) between the noise group and the combined effect group (P>0.05) . The control group had a significantly lower detection rate of hearing loss than the noise group and the combined effect group (P<0.0125) , and the combined effect group had a significantly higher detection rate of hearing loss than the noise group (P<0.0125) . The ordinal polytomous logistic regression analysis showed that after adjustment for confounding factors such as age, working years, sex, smoking, and drinking, both noise exposure and exposure to both noise and hand-transmitted vibration had an influence on workers' hearing (P<0.05) , and the workers exposed to both noise and hand-transmitted vibration had a higher risk of hearing loss than those exposed to noise alone. Conclusion: There may be a combined effect of noise and hand-transmitted vibration in the automobile manufacturing industry, which can increase the risk of NIHL in workers.

Conclusion: Low dose ionizing radiation has a certain cumulative damage effect on peripheral blood cells of radiation workers in nuclear power industry. The change rules of different cell subtypes are different, and the changes of WBC and PLT appear earlier.

[The clinical observation of external scleral plaque radiotherapy in patients with uveal melanoma]

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of external scleral plaque radiotherapy (PRT) in the treatment of uveal melanoma (UM). Methods: This was a retrospective case series study. The data of 819 patients who underwent ophthalmic PRT from July 2007 to November 2017 at Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Beijing Capital Medical University was collected, including preoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure and slit lamp microscope, color fundus photography, indirect ophthalmoscopy, color Doppler ultrasound, fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, orbital nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, PRT times and time, complications, follow-up time, the maximum basal diameter and height of the tumor UM half a year after the applicator was removed, tumor metastasis rate, mortality and visual acuity observed at the last follow-up. The tumor growth was considered when the tumor height increased by 2.0 mm or the extension of any boundary of the tumor was 2.5 mm; otherwise, the treatment was defined as effective. The paired t test and Kaplan-Meier survival curve were used for statistical analysis. Results: There were 408 males and 411 females. The age ranged from 13 to 85 years (mean, 47 years). Nine patients had ciliary body melanoma, 43 patients had choroidal melanoma involving the ciliary body, and 767 patients had choroidal melanoma. In all 819 eyes, the tumor was medium-sized in 697 eyes and large in 110 eyes. All patients were treated with PRT only one time. The average radiotherapy time was 15 days (range, 6 to 50 d). All operations were successfully completed, with no active bleeding, infection, adjacent tissue injury and other related complications. At 6 months after the treatment, the maximum basal diameter of the tumor was (12.41±3.20) mm, which was significantly different from that before treatment (12.82±3.21) mm (t=2.40, P<0.01); the tumor height was (6.18±2.55) mm, which was significantly different from that before treatment (7.21±2.57) mm (t=4.05, P<0.01). The average follow-up time was (34±24) months (range, 1 to 125 months). Twenty-five patients lost follow-up at 2 years after the PRT, and 71 patients underwent enucleation. The effective rate of the PRT treatment was 88.3% (723/819), and the eyeball retention rate was 91.1% (723/794). The visual acuity remained stable in 393 eyes, decreased in 344 eyes, and improved in 82 eyes. Sixty patients had systemic metastasis (liver, bone or breast metastasis). Twenty-two patients died of tumor metastasis. The 5-year metastasis rate was 12.8%; the 5-year mortality rate was 5.8%; the 10-year metastasis rate was 20.6%; the 10-year mortality rate was 5.8%. Conclusions: PRT is safe and effective in the treatment for UM and can preserve some useful visual acuity. PRT can be used as the main treatment for medium-sized UM.(Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56: 670-675).

[Probiotics enhance the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in severe acute liver injury]

Objective: To observe the changes of gut flora in mice, and explore the outcome of fecal microbiota transplantation combined with probiotics in the intervention of severe acute liver injury. Methods: Forty male BALB/c mice were selected and randomly divided into blank control group (10 mice), model group (10 mice), ordinary fecal microbiota transplantation group (10 mice), and fecal microbiota + probiotics transplantation group (10 mice). An intraperitoneal injection of d-galactosamine (D-GalN 3.0g/kg) was given to every group except the blank control group to induce severe acute liver injury model. Simultaneously, ordinary fecal microbiota transplantation group and fecal microbiota + probiotics transplantation group and modeling group were given enema solutions (once a day). After 48 hours, fetched serum was taken to detect alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase and total bilirubin, and liver tissue was taken for pathological detection. The colonic content was used to extract DNA for 16S V3-V4 high-throughput sequencing. The results of sequencing were analyzed by using bioinformatics analysis; including OTU cluster analysis, α diversity analysis, β diversity analysis, and linear discriminant analysis effect size (Lefse) to find the bacteria with different colonic content characteristics in different groups of mice. Differences in clinical biochemical indicators between groups were compared using t-test, and the differences between 16S V3-V4 region sequencing results were compared using Wilcoxon test. Results: Model group mice serum biochemical parameters were higher than the other three groups, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). HE staining of liver sections showed severe inflammatory changes under the microscope in the model group. Ordinary fecal microbiota transplantation group and fecal microbiota + probiotic microbiota transplantation group had low levels of inflammation than the model group. The analysis results of 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing showed that there was no statistically significant difference in Shannon's index between the blank control and the other three groups. Observed Species difference was statistically significant, and the gut flora composition varied greatly. Species number in the mice gut flora was increased with fecal microbiota transplantation. The results of β - diversity analysis showed that the difference between the blank control group and the other three groups was greater than that between the disease groups. The difference in the structure of the gut flora of the diseased mice in the fecal microbiota + probiotic transplantation group was mostly butyrate-producing bacteria. Conclusion: Fecal microbiota + probiotics enhance the therapeutic effect of fecal microbiota transplantation, improve liver inflammation, and increase the number of butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut.

[Analysis of treatment response and prognostic factors of T-LBL patients treated with pediatric-like ALL therapy following HSCT]

目的

探讨经急性淋巴细胞白血病（ALL）儿童方案治疗达到完全缓解（CR）和部分缓解（PR）的T淋巴母细胞淋巴瘤（T-LBL）患者应用造血干细胞移植巩固治疗的疗效及预后因素。

方法

收集2013年1月至2017年1月于唐都医院血液病中心接受治疗的T-LBL患者的临床资料，将达到CR或PR的患者纳入研究，进行回顾性分析。

结果

①48例患者接受了ALL儿童方案治疗，经2个疗程的诱导化疗后39例达CR，9例达PR。其中接受自体造血干细胞移植（auto-HSCT）者14例，接受异基因造血干细胞移植（allo-HSCT）者7例，21例患者移植后造血功能均顺利重建。②中位随访时间31（9～16）个月。3年总生存（OS）率为61.0%（95% CI 53.7%～68.3%），3年无进展生存（PFS）率为54.8%（95% CI 47.1%～62.2%）。③移植组和未移植组3年OS率分别为84.7%和42.8%（P＝0.006），两组3年PFS率分别为75.4%和38.9%（P＝0.004）。④auto-HSCT组与allo-HSCT组患者的OS率、PFS率差异均无统计学意义（P值分别为0.320、0.597）。⑤骨髓侵犯、未接受造血干细胞移植是影响患者长期预后的独立危险因素［ HR＝5.804（95% CI 1.140～29.549），P＝0.034；HR＝5.871（95% CI 1.711～20.140），P＝0.005］。

结论

ALL儿童方案化疗序贯造血干细胞移植治疗T-LBL疗效确切，安全性好。auto-HSCT与allo-HSCT患者的OS率及PFS率差异均无统计学意义。骨髓侵犯、未接受造血干细胞移植是影响T-LBL患者长期预后的独立危险因素。

Spin-structures of the Bose-Einstein condensates with three kinds of spin-1 atoms

We have performed a quantum mechanic calculation (including solving the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations to obtain the spatial wave functions, and diagonalizing the spin-dependent Hamiltonian in the spin-space to obtain the total spin state) together with an analytical analysis based on a classical model. Then, according to the relative orientations of the spins S_A, S_B and S_C of the three species, the spin-structures of the ground state can be classified into two types. In Type-I the three spins are either parallel or anti-parallel to each other, while in Type-II they point to different directions but remain to be coplanar. Moreover, according to the magnitudes of S_A, S_B and S_C, the spin-structures can be further classified into four kinds, namely, p + p + p (all atoms of each species are in singlet-pairs), one species in f (fully polarized) and two species in q (a mixture of polarized atoms and singlet-pairs), two in f and one in q, and f + f + f. Other combinations are not allowed. The scopes of the parameters that supports a specific spin-structure have been specified. A number of spin-structure-transitions have been found. For Type-I, the critical values at which a transition takes place are given by simple analytical formulae, therefore these values can be predict.

[Application of three methods in occupational health risk assessment of automobile 4S shop]

Objective: To choose various occupational health risk assessment of the mature methods at home and abroad respectively occupational health risk assessment was carried out on the 4s stores, to explore different risk assessment methods on the 4 s shop the applicability of the occupational health risk assessment. Methods: Chemical was applied on the harmful factors of occupational health risk assessment technology guideline in the composite index method, quantitative cancer risk assessment method using the guidelines for the harmful factors of occupational health risk assessment of chemical technology of composite index method, quantitative cancer risk assessment method, international commission on mining and metals (ICMM) occupational health risk assessment quantitative method and the occupational-disease-inductive operation classification to evaluate chemical factors in 4S store, Combined with on-site occupational health investigation to compare with the result of risk assessment and analysis of international mining and metals (ICMM) committee occupational health risk assessment quantitative method and the occupational-disease-inductive operation classification of 4S store to evaluate chemical factors, combined with on-site occupational health investigation comparison and analysis the result of the risk assessment. Results: Except for 6 times, the results of ICMM matrix method and comprehensive index method were consistent, which were all higher than job classification. The other results were job classification of >of ICMM matrix method >comprehensive index method or job classification of >of ICMM matrix method. Conclusion: When the concentration of occupational-disease-inductive factors is lower than 1/2 limit, the risk assessment results tend to be ICMM quantitative >composite index method >operation classification. When the occupational-disease-inductive factors were involved with triphenyl, the quantitative non-carcinogenic risk assessment method was more likely to reach the conclusion that the occupational health risk was unacceptable.
