ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the incidence of occupational diseases in a District of Beijing, from 2004 to 2017 and to analyze the distribution characteristics and incidence trends of occupational diseases.@*Methods@#The data of confirmed occupational disease cases data in the occupational disease and occupational health information monitoring system in a district of Beijing from 2004~2017 were collected to analyze the incidence and trends of occupational diseases.@*Results@#In 2004~2017, a total of 161cases of occupational diseases were reported in a district of Beijing, mainly pneumoconiosis (113 cases, 70.19%) . The average age of onset of pneumoconiosis was (51.65 ±11.10) years old, and the average age of dust exposure was (13.14±8.07) years, mainly including silicosis accounting for 85.84%, concentrated in small collective enterprises. Pneumoconiosis was mainly female, with 80 cases accounting for 70.80% of the disease; most of the working years were 10-20 years, the age of onset of dust pneumoconiosis and the duration of dust exposure were statistically different (P<0.05) ; The distribution of pneumoconiosis industry was concentrated on the manufacture of jewellery and related articles in 91cases (80.53%) , Compared with the non-jewellery and related articles manufacturing industry, the average age of onset were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Occupational diseases other than pneumoconiosis were mainly male; occupational ear, nose and throat (ENT) and oral disease male accounted for 86.96% of the disease, mainly concentrated in small enterprises, state-owned enterprises, the majority of working years wereconcentrated in 20~30 years; occupational infectious diseases accountded for 93.33% of the disease, mainly concentrated in small collective enterprises, most of the working years were less than 10 years.@*Conclusion@#Occupational diseases in a district of Beijing are mainly pneumoconiosis, mainly in small collective enterprises, mostly historical issues, the number of reports of occupational ENT and oral disease and occupational infectious diseases are increasing, it is important to strengthen supervision and protect the health of workers.
ABSTRACT
Many studies have shown that abnormal expression and modification of lamin are closely related to aging.Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome(HGPS)is a rare and severe premature aging disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding nuclear envelope proteins of A-type lamins (LMNA).The pathogenesis of HGPS is similar to the aging process of normal individuals,thus research on HGPS will be helpful for understanding the mechanisms of senescence and developing antiaging drugs.This paper reviews recent advances in lamin and the pathogenesis and treatment of HGPS,in order to provide a reference for further basic and clinical research on HGPS.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore clinical features of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) caused by left main (LM) coronary artery lesions and to study the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in relevant patients. Methods: A total of 3514 AMI patients received coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital from 2000-01 to 2015-12 were studied, those including 36 of infarct-related artery (IRA) as LM. There were 28/36 patients received PCI and 8 received CABG. The clinical features and outcomes in 28 LM disease patients were investigated. Results: The patients included 5 female and 23 male at the mean age of (66.5±8.32) years. There were 16 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 12 with NSTEMI; 21 received primary PCI and 7 had elective PCI; there were 16 patients suffered from cardiac shock at admission. The procedural success rate was 82.1% and the in-hospital mortality was 35.7% (10/28). During (66.1±35.2) months follow-up period, 3 patients had re-NSTEMI and 1 of them received PCI again, 3 patients died. No event survival rate was 66.7%. Conclusion: PCI is feasible for treating AMI patients caused by LM lesions, the in-hospital survival rate was 64.3%; while the MACE occurrence rate during long-term follow-up period has been high.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics for the ifrst diagonal branch of infarction related artery (IRA) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in order to ifnd the rule for physician to make quick diagnosis. Methods: A total of 28 STEMI patients with coronary angiography (CAG) confirmed first diagonal branch of IRA were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated in our hospital from 2005-01 to 2014-06 and their ECG changes at admission were studied for ST-segment elevation/depression and q wave, Q wave changes during the period of evolution at different leads in all patients. Results: CAG presented that there were 19/28 (67.9%) patients with single vessel disease, 13 (46.4%) with isolated diagonal lesion. From onset of chest pain to AMI graph shown on ECG was about 240 (252 ± 71) min in all patients. All 28 (100%) patients were with ST-segment elevation in lead aVL, 27 (96.4%) in lead I, and 15 (55.6%) patients with ST-segment elevation by (0.5-1.0) mm. The incidence of ST-segment elevation in the chest lead was, in turn as 21 (75.0%) patients in lead V2, 16 (57.1%) in lead V3 and 12 (42.9%) in lead V1respectively; while ST-segment depression was as 28 (100%) patients in lead III, 27 (96.4%) in lead aVF and 22 (78.6%) in lead II respectively. During the period of evolution, the most q wave or Q wave formation were, in turn as 22 (88.0%) patients in lead aVL, 10 (40.0%) in lead V2, 9 (36.0%) in lead V3 and 7 (28.0%) in lead I respectively. Conclusion: The ECG changes in STEMI patients with diagonal branch of IRA have the high prevalence of ST-segment elevation in lead aVL and lead I, while there is an important feature that the ST-segment elevation < 1 mm in about half amount of relevant patients.
