ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the occupational hazard factors and their critical control points in the process of construction of a large-scale construction project.METHODS: The engineering analysis, worksite survey occupational health and occupational hazard factor testing were conducted in a large-scale construction project, and the results were analyzed. RESULTS: During the process of construction of this large-scale construction project, there were many occupational hazard factors such as silicon dust, welding smoke, wood and other dusts, inorganic compounds of manganese, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, ozone, noise, high temperature, hand-transmitted vibration and ultraviolet irradiation, among them, silicon dust and noise were the most common ones. The over standard rates of exposure concentration of short term of total dust and respirable dust in the workplace were 68.2%(15/22) and 40.9%(9/22), and the over standard rates of exposure concentration of time weighted average were 54.5%(12/22) and 13.6%(3/22), respectively. The over standard rates of the noise intensity of area sampling and personal sampling in workplace were 69.2%(45/65) and 61.0%(25/41) respectively. The four hours energy equivalent frequency-weighted acceleration to vibration of three hand-transmitted vibration positions has been detected, and the result has surpassed the occupational exposure limit.The results of other occupational hazard factors such as high temperature, ultraviolet radiation, wood dust, welding smoke, other dust, manganese inorganic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide and ozone all met the occupational exposure limits. CONCLUSION: There are various occupational hazard factors in the process of construction of this large-scale construction project, among them, noise, dust and hand-transmitted vibration are the most prominent hazards.These hazards are the critical control points of this type of construction projects.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the application value of finger systolic blood pressure(FSBP) in the diagnosis of vibration-induced vascular injury. METHODS: Thirty patients with vibration-induced vascular injury [vibration-induced white finger(VWF)] were selected as the case group by a non-randomized concurrent controlled trial, and 30 hand-transmitted vibration workers without VWF were selected as the control group. The FSBP test was performed on the tested hands of all subjects, and the FSBP index of each Finger(F_( i)) was measured. RESULTS: The F_i of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and tail finger of the tested hand in the case group were lower than that in the control group(all P<0.01). In the case group, the F_i of index finger was lower than ring finger and tail finger(all P<0.01). The abnormal rates of F_i on the index, middle and ring fingers in the case group were higher than those in the control group(86.7% vs 10.0%, 76.7% vs 13.3%, 43.3% vs 10.0%, all P<0.01). The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of the measured F_i of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and tail finger were 0.884, 0.843, 0.764 and 0.687 respectively. The diagnostic cut off value of the F_i of index finger was 80.2%. The sensitivity and specificity were 86.7% and 90.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION: FSBP test has a good application value in the diagnosis of vibration-induced vascular injuries. It is suggested that the F_i of index finger be the first choice as the diagnostic index, and the abnormal value can be set at 80.0%.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the stability of test results of fingertip thermotactile perception threshold(TPT) among healthy individuals and the influencing factors of the TPT test. METHODS: Fifty healthy young volunteers aged 20-25 were selected as the study subjects using the convenience sampling method. The HVLab thermal aesthesiometer was used to perform the fingertip TPT test under the standard condition. Right index, middle, ring, little, left index and little fingers were tested. According to the method of random number table, we selected 25 subjects to receive second test after the interval of two weeks. RESULTS: Intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) for cold threshold of right little finger was bigger than 0.75, suggesting the test-retest reliability was excellent. The ICC for hot threshold of six test fingers, cold threshold of right and left index fingers, right middle and left little finges was in the range of 0.60-0.74, indicating the test-retest reliability was good. However, the ICC for cold threshold of right ring finger was less than 0.40, and the test-retest reliability was poor. The hot threshold of right middle, ring and little fingers, and the cold threshold of left little finger of males were higher than those of females(all P<0.05). The cold threshold of right index and little fingers were lower than those of left hand in males(all P<0.05). The cold threshold of right middle and ring fingers were lower than that of the right index finger in females(all P<0.05). The cold threshold of right little finger was lower than those of right index, middle and ring fingers in females(all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The stability of the fingertip TPT result is good in healthy young adults aged 20-25. The fingertip TPT test could be used for occupational health surveillance of workers exposed to hand-transmitted vibration. We should take into account the influence of gender, the right or left hand and different fingers when developing TPT reference values.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To test and analyze the vibration transmissivity of three common kinds of protective gloves, and to determine their actual protecting effect. METHODS: Three kinds of protective gloves were selected as test materials, and five healthy volunteers were selected as subjects using typical sampling methods. According to the ISO 10819:2013 Mechanical Vibration and Shock--Hand-arm Vibration--Measurement and Evaluation of the Vibration Transmissibility of Gloves at the Palm of the Hand(hereinafter referred to as ISO 10819:2013), investigation and measurement of basic parameters of protective gloves. The gloved vibration transmission(GVT) test system was used to test the vibration transmission of different protective gloves worn by the subjects, and the spectrum analysis of vibration reduction characteristics was carried out. RESULTS: The thickness of damping material of all the three kinds of protective gloves met the standard requirements. The mean value for the corrected frequency-weighted glove vibration transmissibility values at 25.0-200.0 Hz were 0.91, 0.75 and 0.94, and 1.05, 0.85 and 1.10 at 200.0-1 250.0 Hz, for the protective gloves A, B and C, respectively. The results of anti-vibration characteristic spectrum analysis show that there has no vibration reduction effect at the frequency of 25.0-200.0 Hz when wearing these three kinds of gloves. Wearing gloves A and B on part of the 200.0-1 250.0 Hz frequency vibration has an amplifying effect. Wearing glove C has a partial vibration reduction effect at the 200.0-1 250.0 Hz frequency, and the vibration reduction efficiency is the highest at the frequency of 1 250.0 Hz.CONCLUSION: According to the ISO 10819:2013 standard, the mean value of GVT measured when wearing the three kinds of protective gloves does not meet the relevant requirements, and the anti-vibration effect is poor. These gloves cannot be defined as anti-vibration gloves.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the influencing factors of low back pain and the relationship of the influence of bad working posture, weight load and frequency of load and the dose-response relationship among the occupational workers of key industries in China. METHODS: A total of 57 501 employees from 15 key industries in China were selected as research subjects using stratified cluster sampling method. The occurrence of low back pain in the past one year, as well as occupational factors such as job type, labor organization and work posture were investigated by using the Chinese version Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. RESULTS: The prevalence of low back pain in the occupational population of key industries in China was 16.4%(9 448/57 501). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of low back pain in females was higher than that in males(P<0.01). Married, obese, occasional and frequent smokers, and a history of lower back disease were associated with increased risk of low back pain(all P<0.05). The risk of low back pain was associated with older age, higher education level, and lower frequency of physical exercise(all P<0.01). The risk of low back pain was higher with longer working time, greater back curvature, and the high frequency of long standing and sitting position work, uncomfortable working posture, repeated operation per minute, and lifting>5 kg weight(all P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The influencing factors of low back pain in the occupational population of key industries in China include bad working posture, high frequency load, weight load and other individual factors. There is a dose-response relationship with low back posture load and frequency of load.
ABSTRACT
Occupational hand-arm vibration diseases(HAVD) is a legitimate occupational disease in China, and the mechanism of its pathogenesis is vibration-induced vascular injury. Once HAVD occurs, it is difficult for the patients to recover and can cause great harm to workers exposed to hand-arm vibration. It is difficult to detect and evaluate the occurrence and progress of the disease at an early stage using existing technology, which is disadvantageous to the early prevention and treatment of the disease. Long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs) play an important role in regulating the development, growth, and remodeling of blood vessels and other biological processes. This article reviews the role and mechanism of lncRNAs in vascular injury, and provides scientific theoretical basis for early diagnosis and treatment of HAVD.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the occupational exposure characteristics of hand-transmitted vibration in hand-held workpiece polishing and to provide the basis for occupational hazard prevention and control technology research in this kind of job. METHODS: The questionnaire and on site occupational health investigation were used to study 4 typical enterprises of hand-held workpiece polishing. The study was conducted by filling forms by enterprise,personal interviews with administrative staffs and front-line workers,as well as on site visit. RESULTS: Among the 4 factories,there were 835workers( 22. 4%) engaged in the hand-held workpiece polishing assignment. The principal vibrating tools used in these 4factories were polishing machine,flint glazing machine and polishing wheel,and the workpiece polished by workers were button,toilet lid,thermos,mobile phone shell and golf head. The polishing workers were all equipped with noise reduction earplugs and anti-dust respirators, but they did not wear anti-vibration gloves. The hand-held workpiece polishing assignment has the characteristics including indirect and continuous vibration exposure and fine operation. Some workers used their knees and abdomens as the support to polish workpieces. The vibration exposure time was 6-11 h / d. The 4hours energy equivalent frequency-weighted acceleration to vibration [ahw( 4)]was 1. 9-19. 4 m/s~2,with the maximum which exceeded the occupational exposure limit( 5. 0 m / s~2),showing a wide range ahw( 4)in the same enterprise. CONCLUSION: Compared with the traditional vibrating tools,the hand-held workpiece polishing operation has different characteristics of hand-transmitted vibration such as more sophisticated machine structure,finer polishing ways,more influencing factors of vibration exposure level and more extensive body parts involved.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of hand-transmitted vibration exposure on the finger vibratory and pain perception thresholds among drill workers in a gold mine. METHODS: By the judgement sampling method,134 male drill workers from a gold mine in the northern area of China were selected as the hand-transmitted vibration exposure group and102 fit-up workers without vibration exposure in the same mine were chosen as the control group. The finger vibratory perception thresholds,the pain perception thresholds and the occupational health examination were conducted and analyzed in these two groups. Based on the self-report with vibration-induced white finger( VWF),the workers of hand-transmitted vibration exposure group were divided into non-VWF subgroup( 105 workers) and VWF subgroup( 29 workers). RESULTS: The incidence of finger numbness,pain and self-reported white finger in the exposure group were significantly higher than those in the control group( P < 0. 05). Compared with the control group,the vibratory perception thresholds of the index finger,middle finger and ring finger of the right hand among the vibration exposure group workers were significantly higher( P < 0. 05),but there was no significant difference in the vibratory perception thresholds of the left ring finger between the two groups( P > 0. 05). The vibratory perception thresholds of both ring fingers,right index finger and right middle-finger in VWF subgroup were higher than those in control group( P < 0. 05). But no significant differences was found in the above 4 indexes in these two groups after compared to those of control group,respectively( P > 0. 05). The vibratory perception thresholds of left ring finger,right ring finger and right index finger in VWF subgroup were all higher than those in non-VWF subgroup( P < 0. 05),but the vibratory perception thresholds of right middle finger in these two groups showed no significant difference( P > 0. 05). The pain perception thresholds of index finger,middle finger and ring finger in both hands of the vibration exposure group workers were all higher than those in control group( P < 0. 05). The pain perception thresholds of middle finger and ring finger in both hands of the VWF subgroup and non-VWF subgroup were higher than those of control group( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The hand-transmitted vibration can increase the thresholds of finger vibratory and pain perception in drill workers. The finger sensory perception examination could be used to assist the early detection of peripheral nerve damage induced by hand-transmitted vibration.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the major influence factors affecting the quality and accuracy of measuring instruments for power frequency electromagnetic fields in occupational hygiene technical service organizations by developing interlaboratory comparison in workplaces. METHODS: Six measuring instruments for power electromagnetic fields from 6occupational hygiene technical service organizations in Guangdong Province were selected by typical sampling method. A high-voltage substation was selected as a standard source. We set measurement sites underneath it as inter-laboratory comparison spots for power frequency electromagnetic fields. The stability of the standard source was evaluated by pairedsamples t-test and measure results were analyzed by z-score evaluation method based on quartile robust statistical technology. RESULTS: During and after the inter-laboratory comparison,the intensity of electric field and magnetic field of the standard source showed no significant difference [( 555. 03 ± 2. 94) vs( 555. 68 ± 3. 20) V / m,( 2. 30 ± 0. 06) vs( 2. 29 ± 0. 07) μT,P > 0. 05],which met the demand of stability of inter-laboratory comparison. The data of electric field measured by 2 measuring instruments without remote-reading system were found to be high because of proximity effect from its handheld status. The z-score of inter-laboratory( zB) of other 4 measuring instruments with remote-reading system ranged from- 0. 52 to 1. 10,while the z-score of within-laboratory( zW) ranged from- 1. 28 to 0. 37,and both results of| zB| and | zW| were satisfactory( < 2. 00). The zBof power frequency magnetic field measured by the 6 measuring instruments ranged from- 0. 67 to 1. 26,while zWranged from- 0. 59 to 0. 90,and both | zB| and | zW| were also satisfactory( < 2. 00). CONCLUSION: It is feasible that the inter-laboratory comparison of measuring instruments of power frequency electromagnetic fields could be implemented by a high-voltage substation as a standard source. The measuring instruments without remote-reading system could be used to measure the intensity of magnetic field but not the electric field. The measuring instruments with remote-reading system could be used to measure the intensity of either the electric field or the magnetic field,and the measurement results are satisfactory.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the inhibitory effects of Neiyi Recipe by comparing adhesive and invasive effects of eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues from endometriosis women and the endometrium from endometriosis-free women.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The invasive capacity of endometrial stromal cells from endometriosis-free women, eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells from women with endometriosis were compared using Boyden chamber, the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) ectopy transplant, and immunohistochemical EnVision method. The expressions of adhesion and invasion correlated cytokines in the transplanted tissue and effect of Neiyi Recipe on them were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The numbers of invasion stromal cells of eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues were obviously more than those in the endometriosis-free women (P<0.05). After treatment with Neiyi Recipe and danazol respectively, the number of invasion stromal cells was significantly less in the Neiyi Recipe group than in the danazol group (P<0.05). Compared with endometriosis-free women, the expression of ICAM-1 in the ectopic endometrium tissue, and MMP-9 expressions in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium were significantly higher (all P<0.05) and TIMP-1 expressions obviously lower (P<0.01). In the eutopic endometrium, Neiyi Recipe and danazol serum could significantly lower the expression of MMP-9, and up-regulate expressions of TIMP-1 and ICAM-1 (P<0.01). In the ectopic endometrium, Neiyi Recipe could significantly lower the expression of MMP-9 (P<0.01) and ICAM-1 (P<0.05), and danazol serum could lower the expression of ICAM-1 (P<0.05). Compared with danazol, Neiyi Recipe showed more obvious effect in down-regulating MMP-9 (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>High expression of MMP-9 and low expression of TIMP-1 existed in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues of endometriosis, which could enhance the ectopic invasion and transplant of endometrial cells. Neiyi Recipe could inhibit the invasion of endometrial stromal cells and the expression of MMP-9.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of organic gallium and gallium chloride on bone metabolism and their therapeutic effect against tretinoin-induced osteoporosis in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Rat models of osteoporosis was established with intragastric administration of tretinoin at the daily dose of 85 mg/kg for 15 days and randomized into control, organic gallium and gallium chloride groups. After administration of the corresponding treatments (none for the control group) for 4 weeks, the changes of the indices for osteoporosis were evaluated through biochemical and pathological approaches.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Tretinoin induced obvious changes in bone structure and contents of bone calcium and other elements, causing also significantly increased tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP), which suggested the development of osteoporosis. Administration of organic gallium and gallium chloride treatments increased the bone density, bone cortex thickness and the percentage of bone trabecula, and Ga, Ca, P contents in the femur and teeth, but lowered the activity of TRAP and AKP, suggesting decreased bone conversion rate. Compared with gallium chloride, organic gallium required smaller dose with better safety to produce better therapeutic effect.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Organic gallium can be safe and effective for treatment of tretinoin-induced osteoporosis in rats.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Investigations were carried out to understand the effect of 50 Hz power frequency magnetic field on microfilament assembly of human amniotic cells and on expression of actin and epidermal growth factor receptor.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human amnion FL cells were exposed to 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 mT power frequency magnetic field for 30 minutes. Microfilaments were marked using Phalloidin-TRITC, and then were observed under a fluorescence microscope. An optical method was used to detect the relative content of microfilament in cells. A scanning electron microscope was used to detect the cell shape. The content of actin and epidermal growth factor receptor in the preparation of the detergent-insoluble cytoskeleton were measured by western-blotting to analyse the potential mechanism of the change induced by magnetic field.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Intracellular stress fibers were found to decrease after exposing cells to a 0.2 mT power frequency magnetic field for 30 minutes. New microfilament and filopodia bundles appeared at the cell periphery after exposure, but the detected total F-actin content per cell was not significantly changed, detected by a F-actin-specific dye. The change in the amount of microfilaments caused by the field could be recovered 2 hours later when the field was withdrawn. The mean height of microfilament cytoskeleton decreased from (12.37 +/- 1.28) microm to (9.97 +/- 0.38) microm (t = 6.96, P > 0.05) after exposure using a confocal microscope. The cell shapes became more flat and lamellipodia appeared after exposure observed by a scanning electron microscope. By using Western blotting method, the intracellular contents of epidermal growth factor receptor and of actin in the preparation of the detergent-insoluble cytoskeleton which are associated with high-affinity epidermal growth factor receptors, increased about (31.2 +/- 4.1)% (t = 17.10, P < 0.05) and (16.8 +/- 2.3)% (t = 16.68, P < 0.05) respectively, compared with that of the control.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>These results suggest that a short time exposure to a 0.2 mT power frequency magnetic field induces re-organization of microfilament in human amnion FL cells. These changes could be recovered by field withdraw and may have something with the clustering of epidermal growth factor receptors induced by magnetic field.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of GSM 1800 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) on DNA damage in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The cells were intermittently exposed or sham-exposed to GSM 1800 MHz RF EMF (5 minutes on/10 minutes off) at a special absorption rate (SAR) of 3.0 W/kg for 1 hour or 24 hours. Meanwhile, cells exposed to 2-acetylaminofluorene, a DNA damage agent, at a final concentration of 20 mg/L for 2 hours were used as positive control. After exposure, cells were fixed by using 4% paraformaldehyde and processed for phosphorylated form of H2AX (gammaH2AX) immunofluorescence measurement. The primary antibody used for immunofluorescence was mouse monoclonal antibody against gammaH2AX and the secondary antibody was fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG. Nuclei were counterstained with 4, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The gammaH2AX foci and nuclei were visualized with an Olympus AX70 fluorescent microscope. Image Pro-Plus software was used to count the gammaH2AX foci in each cell. For each exposure condition, at least 50 cells were selected to detect gammaH2AX foci. Cells were classified as positive when more than five foci were detected. The percentage of gammaH2AX foci positive cells was adopted as the index of DNA damage.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The percentage of gammaH2AX foci positive cell of 1800 MHz RF EMF exposure for 24 hours (37.9 +/- 8.6)% or 2-acetylaminofluorene exposure (50.9 +/- 9.4)% was significantly higher compared with the sham-exposure (28.0 +/- 8.4)%. However, there was no significant difference between the sham-exposure and RF EMF exposure for 1 hour (31.8 +/- 8.7)%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>1800 MHz RF EMF (SAR, 3.0 W/kg) for 24 hours might induce DNA damage in CHL cells.</p>
