    Objective To analyze the living condition and influencing factors of silicosis patients in Wuxi City form 1975 to 2019. Methods Through the monitoring of death causes of residents, the paper-based materials and online report system of diagnosis over the years, and the combination of public security and human social system to obtain 3721 cases of silicosis patients as subjects form August to December 2019. And the combination of Kaplan Meier method and life table method were used to carry out single factor survival analysis. Through Cox regression model to analyze the factors affecting the survival time of patients. Results From 1975 to 2019, 3721 cases of silicosis and 1274 deaths have been reported in Wuxi City, with a mortality rate of 34.24% and a median survival time of 30.9 years. With the development of diagnosis time, the mortality decreased significantly (χ(2)=747.75, P less then 0.05) . Compared with the first stage silicosis patients, the risk of decreased survival time of the third stage silicosis eir lives.Objective To study the effect of preventive intervention on occupational exposure of nurses after tumor particle implantation in thoracic surgery. Methods In March 2020, 99 nurses who were engaged in postoperative nursing of tumor particle implantation in thoracic surgery department of our hospital from February 2019 to February 2020 were selected as the research objects. According to different preventive interventions, they were divided into observation group (51 cases) and control group (48 cases) . The observation group received preventive intervention, while the control group received routine intervention. The differences of radiation dose, psychological state and abnormal rate of important organ function between the two groups were analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, the radiation dose of the observation group was significantly less, and the scores of anxiety and depression were lower after the intervention, the difference were statistically significant (P0.05) . Conclusion Preventive intervention can reduce the risk of occupational exposure and improve the psychological status of nurses after tumor particle implantation in thoracic surgery.Objective To study the association of health-related physical fitness (HPF) with kidney function and blood lipid to provide a basis to prevent chronic diseases and making exercise prescriptions. Methods This study was conducted in December 2019 with 299 faculty members of a university in Shaanxi, testing HPF indicators (muscle mass, body fat percentage, grip, sit-and-reach, vital capacity) , kidney function indicators (creatinine, uric acid, urea) , and blood lipid indicators[triglyceride (TG) , total cholesterol (TC) , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ]. Spearman correlation analysis and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the association between HPF with kidney function and blood lipid indicators. Results In men, muscle mass and grip strength were positively correlated with uric acid, body fat percentage was positively correlated with TG, sit-and-reach and vital capacity were negatively correlated with TG (r(s)=0.266, 0.337, 0.300, -0.3to kidney function or lipids.Objective To investigate the effect of chlorpromazine hydrochloride on proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of human diffuse large B lymphoma cells and its possible mechanism. Methods In January 2019, OCI-LY3 and TMD8 cells were treated with different concentrations of chlorpromazine hydrochloride for 72 h, the proliferations were detected by Alamar Blue assay. The apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of OCI-LY3 and TMD8 cells were detected by flow cytometry with FITC annexin V/PI (propidium iodide) double staining and PI, respectively. The mRNA levels of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor P21, P27, CyclinD1 and S1PR2 were detected by RTqPCR. The protein levels of P21, P27 and S1PR2 were detected by Western blot. Results With the increase of chlorpromazine hydrochloride concentration, the proliferation inhibition rates of OCI-LY3 and TMD8 cells increased at 72 hours, apoptosis and G1 cell cycle arrest increased at 24 hours. Compared with the control group, the expression levels of P21, P27 and SIPR2 mRNA in OCI-LY3 and TMD8 cells were increased at 10 μmol/L chlorpromazine after 12 hours treatment (P0.05) . There was a similar increase in protein levels of P21, P27 and SIPR2 in OCI-LY3 and TMD8 cells after 24 hours of treatment (P less then 0.05) . Conclusion Chlorpromazine hydrochloride at a specific concentration may inhibit the proliferation of ABC diffuse large B lymphoma cells by promoting the expression of S1PR2, and promote cell apoptosis and G1 phase cell cycle arrest.Objective To investigate the relationship between rs1053005 of signal conversion and transcription activator 3 (STAT3) and miR-452-3p, and the association between STAT3 gene polymorphism and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) . Methods In December 2017, 1220 workers were selected from an automobile manufacturing factory, an energy company and a chemical fiber factory in Jiangsu Province who had occupational noise exposure and working age of more than 3 years. The workers with the mean hearing threshold of ≥26 dB (A) of the two ear high frequency (3000, 4000 and 6000 Hz) were defined as case group (n=609) , and the rest were control group (n=611) . Five single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites of STAT3 (rs4796793, rs1053023, rs1053005, rs1053004 and rs3744483) were selected to explore the association between STAT3 gene polymorphism and NIHL by analyzing the points. The double luciferase reporter gene verified whether miR-452-3p was targeted to bind STAT3, and overexpressed miR-452-3p in HEI-OC1 cells to explosed to noise.Objective This study aims to explore whether lead exposure could cause anxiety of zebrafish larvae, and to explore its mechanism. Methods In May 2020, zebrafish embryos 4 hours after fertilization (4 hpf) were collected, E3 culture medium was used as the control group, and different lead exposure concentrations (6, 12, 24, 48 μmol/L) as the poisoned group during the time was 140 h. The mortalities, hatching rates and deformity rates were calculated, the behavioral changes of 144 hpf larvae were observed (moving speed, moving distance, activity, absolute turn angle, the light-evoked startle response, darkness-evoked escape response and thigmotaxis) . The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected in zebrafish larvae in the heads. learn more ELISA kits were used to detect the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) , dopamine (DA) , noradrenaline (NA) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) related to anxiety. Results The mortalities rates of zebrafish embryos in the lead exposure concentration of 12, 24 and 48 μmol/L were higher than the control group, and the embryo hatching rates were lower than control group.
