ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) among workers in a cement plant. METHODS: A total of 196 workers in a cement plant were selected as study subjects using a judgment sampling method. A revised Musculoskeletal Injury Questionnaire was used to investigate the occurrence of WMSDs in workers in the past year. RESULTS: The detection rate of WMSDs in different parts of the body of workers in the cement plant was 18.4%-32.1%. The detection rates of WMSDs in all parts of the body from high to low was as follows: shoulder(32.1%), neck(30.6%), upper back(24.0%), ankle/foot(24.0%), lower back(23.5%), hip/thigh(22.4%), wrist/hand(21.4%), elbow(18.4%), and knee(18.4%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that keeping the neck in the same posture for a long time was a risk factor for neck WMSDs [odds ratio(OR)=2.29, P<0.05). Frequent turning around was a risk factor for WMSDs on the neck and lower back(waist)(OR were 3.06 and 3.32, P<0.05). Maintaining the same posture for a long time on the back was a risk factor for shoulder and upper back WMSDs(OR were 3.22 and 2.34, P<0.05). Hard work was a risk factor for shoulder and upper back WMSDs(OR were 2.60 and 2.58, P<0.05). Driving a vehicle was a risk factor for lower back(waist) and ankle/foot WMSDs(OR were 2.54 and 3.17, P<0.05). Carrying objects heavier than 20 kilograms and frequent overtime working were risk factors for ankle/foot WMSDs(OR were 3.03 and 2.54, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The most frequent parts of the body having WMSDs in the cement production workers are shoulders and necks. Occupational factors(turning around or keeping the same posture of neck and back) are risk factors of WMSDs on shoulder and neck.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the related infection factors of the internal jugular vein indwelling central venous catheter , and make prevention countermeasures according to the infection factors of central venous catheter infections .Methods A total of 564 patients admitted in liver and gallbladder surgical ward with external jugular vein indwelling central venous catheter were se‐lected ,extract the relevant hospital infection data in patients by the XingLin hospital infection real‐time monitoring system ,and SPSS15 .0 statistical analysis was conducted .Results The infection rate of 564 cases of patients was 4 .07% .The rate of gram‐neg‐ative bacteria infection was 43 .5% ,the gram positive bacteria infection accounted for 34 .8% ,fungi accounted for 21 .7% ,including multiple drug‐resistant bacteria infection accounted for 52 .1% .Catheter indwelling 14 d or more infection rate was 8 .5% ,14 d fol‐lowing infection rate was 2 .1% ,and infected patients for more advanced cancer and patients with severe acute pancreatitis .Pipe joint respectively with heparin cap and needle positive pressure infusion joint connections ,infection rate was statistically different (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The infection of internal jugular vein indwelling central venous catheter should not be ignored ,and the oc‐currence of catheter‐related infection of patients is closely related to state of an illness ,the time of catheter insertion ,and the joint device and so on .
ABSTRACT
Objective To aim at the problem of bedsore which is always occurred on the crowd of the aging population,empty-nest family and the disabled patients etc,a two-way side turn over mechanism for intelligent sanitation nursing instrument is designed.Methods The turn over angle of the mechanism was analyzed and calculated after establishing the mechanism's three-dimensional model.The forces situation of the state of lying,side lean against and left/right side turn over were carried out through finite element analysis by using of Pro/Mechanica.Results The results showed that the sum of two-way side turn over mechanism's two-way side turn over angle was 30 degrees.The materials met the mechanism's force requirement.Conclusions The results can provide a theoretical basis for the designer to determine the structure parameters and sizes of mechanism.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the expression of human Era.Methods:The encoding region of human Era gene was inserted into pUC19 plasmid and sequenced,the gene fragment was then cloned into the prokaryotic fusion expression vector pRSET B to contruct recombinant expression plasmid pRSET B hEra.The recombinant protein was expressed in E.coli BL21DE3(plys S).Results:6His hEra was expressed after induced by IPTG and took 51.2% of the total cell lysate and mainly existed in the inclusion body.Conclusion:High level of human Era was established and this result may shed light on the further study on function of human Era.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical features of limb salvage surgery with epiphyseal preservation in children and adolescents, and to evaluate the recurrence rate, metastasis, complications, and the joint functional results after tumor resection. Methods From December 1995 to January 2003, we operated on 33 patients aging from 8 to 16 years (average 12.2 years) with diagnosis of primary malignant bone tumor of the extremities with preserving the epiphysis in the limb salvage surgery. In this group, the tumor located in distal femur in 24 cases and in proximal tibia in 9 cases. There were 23 osteosarcomas, 6 Ewing sarcomas, 2 chondrosarcomas, and 2 invasive osteoblastomas. The tumors were staged clinically, 2 cases inⅠA, 2 cases inⅠB, 17 cases in ⅡA, and 12 cases inⅡB. According to the relationship between the tumor and epiphyseal plate, the metaphyseal tumors in children were classified into 3 types: 18 cases were categorized as type Ⅰ, 13 as type Ⅱ, and 2 as type Ⅲ. The patients received 2-4 cycles of preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and another 6 cycles after surgery. Serious bone defects after tumor resections were repaired with massive allograft bone transplantation, followed by internal fixation by intramedullary nails and cancellous screws. Results Among the 33 cases, 3 cases were lost to follow up. 29 cases had complete clinical data. Postoperative follow-up was 12-72 months (average 37.6 months). Recurrences were seen in 3 cases, with one local recurrence in type Ⅲ case one year after tumor resection, other 2 recurrences around the femoral vessels in typeⅡcases 15 and 30 months after the tumor resection respectively. The recurrence rate accounted for 10.3%. Amputation was performed for the cases with recurrences. But pulmonary metastasis developed and the patients died. In this cohort, 9 cases died. Five-year survival rate was 57.9%. 4 cases reported 5 complications (17.2%). No patient reported skin necrosis, hematoma, infection, rejection to the allograft, and nonunion at the end of the follow-up. According to the functional evaluation criteria of Enneking, excellent were 11 cases, good 13 cases, fair 3 cases, and poor 2 cases. The excellent or good rate was 82.8%. Conclusion The limb salvage surgery with preservation of epiphysis for malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents guarantees the patient's satisfactory postoperative limb functional results. Preoperative effective adjuvant chemotherapy and prevention of postoperative complications deserve great attention.
