ABSTRACT

Background The thyroid gland is one of the organs sensitive to ionizing radiation, and there are few studies on the effects of long-term exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation on the thyroid gland of radiation workers. Objective To investigate thyroid abnormalities in workers in medical radiology departments in Guangdong Province and to identify potential influencing factors of thyroid abnormalities. Methods A total of 1657 radiation workers from 48 hospitals in Guangdong Province were selected as survey subjects using convenience sampling, and their personal dose monitoring results and health examination information were retrospectively analyzed to determine the factors affecting thyroid abnormalities. Results The M (P25, P75) of thyroid absorbed dose (DT) was 1.55 (0.65, 3.96) mGy in the 1657 investigated workers. The attribute-specific medians of DT were 1.29, 1.38, 1.99, and 3.51 mGy for departments of diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine, respectively; and 1.10, 1.55, and 1.80 mGy for job titles of nurse, technician, and physician, respectively. Differences in DT by gender, age, years of radiological work, age of radiation exposure onset, occupational category, and job title were statistically significant (Z=−6.35, H=708.52, 918.20, 31.19, 95.64, 39.28, P<0.05). The positive rate of thyroid abnormalities in investigated workers was 46.53% (771/1657). Among them, the positive rate of abnormal thyroid function was 22.87% (379/1657), that of abnormal thyroid morphology was 33.98% (563/1657), and that of thyroid nodule was 26.55% (440/1657). The differences in thyroid abnormality rates by gender, age, years of radiation work, age of radiation exposure onset, DT, and job title of radiation workers were statistically significant (χ2=51.89, 49.64, 20.54, 18.29, 12.07, 16.16, P<0.05). The differences in abnormal thyroid function positive rate by gender, age of radiation exposure onset, and job title were statistically significant (χ2=26.21, 6.21, 8.32, P<0.05). The differences in the positive rates of abnormal thyroid morphology and nodules were statistically significant by gender, age, years of radiological work, age of radiation exposure onset, DT, and job title (abnormal thyroid morphology, χ2=40.24, 64.17, 37.63, 15.17, 19.28, 15.05; nodules, χ2=31.41, 77.98, 42.11, 19.16, 21.70, 13.52, P<0.05). The positive rates of thyroid abnormality, thyroid morphology abnormality, and nodules all showed a linear increasing trend with increasing age, years of radiation work, and age of radiation exposure onset (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that the factors influencing thyroid abnormalities were female (OR=2.17, 95%CI: 1.72-2.74), increased years of radiological work (OR=1.04, 95%CI: 1.03-1.06), onset of radiation exposure in age groups of 30-34 and ≥35 years (OR=1.63, 95%CI: 1.12-2.37; OR=2.58, 95%CI: 1.74-3.29), and working in department of diagnostic radiology (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.07-1.84). Conclusion Long-term exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation has an effect on thyroid abnormalities in medical radiation workers. Among them, being female, physicians, and working in department of diagnostic radiology are at a higher risk of abnormal thyroid function; being female, increased years of radiation work, and radiation exposure onset at age ≥30 years are associated with a higher risk of reporting abnormal thyroid morphology.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the exposure level of ionizing radiation in medical radiation workers in Guangdong province, as well as their abnormality in the lens of the eye, and to analyze associated influence factors.Methods:In this study, 1 501 radiation workers from 60 hospitals were selected by using convenient sampling method for retrospecotive analysis of absorbed doses ( DL) to the lens of the eye, health examination information and the relevant influence factors. Results:The median value M and the 25 th and 75 th percentile values ( P25, P75)of the distribution of absorbed doses were 4.86, 2.99 and 7.90 mGy, respectively. The median values for male and female were 5.14 and 3.94 mGy, respectively. The median values for the Levels I, Ⅱ and Ⅲ medical institutions were 2.95, 3.51 and 5.06 mGy, respectively. The median values were radiotherapy 4.05 mGy, radiodiagnosis 4.84 mGy, interventional radiology 5.39 mGy and nuclear medicine 6.71 mGy, as well as nurses 3.48 mGy, physicians 5.03 mGy and technologists 5.03 mGy, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in dose distribution for different gender, age, length of radiation service, age at the beginning of radiation exposure, level of medical institution, occupational category and post ( Z=-6.72, H=389.64, 511.17, 70.29, 53.29, 49.06, 39.89, P<0.05). The detectable rate for increased cortical density of lens was 22.45% (337/1 501) and for lens turbidity was 8.19% (123/1 501). The detectable rate of increased cortical density showed a linear increasing trend with the increase in age, age of radiation service, age at the beginning of exposure to radiation, level of medical institution and dose ( χ2=366.36, 313.77, 15.18, 21.61, 92.13, P<0.05). The detectable rate of lens opacity increased linearly with the increase in age, length of radiation service, level of medical institution and dose( χ2=69.64, 67.65, 67.65, 37.37, P<0.05), and decreased linearly with the increase in age at the beginning of radiation exposure ( χ2=4.25, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age was the influencing factor of increased cortical density ( χ2=165.98, P<0.05), and the risk of cortical densification increased with age ( OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.27-1.39). Age, length of radiation service and occupation were the influencing factors of lens opacity ( χ2=25.78, 4.99, 6.88, P<0.05). The risk of lens opacity increased with age ( OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.10-1.24). The risk of lens opacity increased with age of radiation service ( OR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.12). The risk of ocular opacity was higher in interventional radiology than that in diagnostic radiology, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine ( OR=2.59, 95% CI: 1.27-5.25). Conclusions:Long-term exposure to low dose ionizing radiation has a certain correlation with the abnormal lens detectable rate of medical radiation workers. Age, length of radiation service and occupation are the influencing factors of lens opacity.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the investigation level of individual monitoring for medical radiation workers.Methods:Monitoring and analysis of individual doses to the medical radiation workers in Guangdong province were performed, from 2016 to 2019, by the Individual Dose Monitoring Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital for Occupational Disease Prevention and Control.Results:The numbers of monitored workers were diagnostic radiology 53 674, dental radiology 2 563, nuclear medicine 5 001, radiotherapy 16 687, interventional radiology 22 272 and others 2 087 from 2016 to 2019, of which the number of individuals with doses in excess of investigation level 1.25 mSv, were 76, 6, 18, 28, 133 and 2 respectively. The non-real doses made up 67.1 %, 100 %, 55.6 %, 82.1 %, 76.7 % and 100 % of their respective totals. Their 99th percentile doses P99 were 0.37, 0.39, 0.67, 0.35, 0.54 and 0.30 mSv, and the average periodic dose equivalent were 0.07, 0.06, 0.11, 0.06, 0.07 and 0.05 mSv respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference existing in the average annual effective dose between groups ( Z=-26.139--2.681, P<0.001). Conclusions:Due to non-reality of doses in excess of investigation levels and high labor cost, it is suggested to currently use 0.40 mSv per 3 months as investigation level for diagnostic radiology, dental radiology, radiotherapy and others, and 0.70 mSv per 3 months as for nuclear medicine and interventional radiology.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the changes in activation of γ?aminobutyric acid(GABA)sig?naling pathway during ventilator?induced brain injury in rats. Methods Thirty?six pathogen?free adult male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, were divided into 3 groups(n=12 each)using a random number table: low tidal volume group(LV group), ventilation with high tidal volume for 2 h group(HV1 group)and ventilation with high tidal volume for 6 h group(HV2group). The rats were mechanically ven?tilated for 2 h with the tidal volume set at 10 ml∕kg and the respiratory rate 40 breaths∕min in group LV. The rats were mechanically ventilated for 2 h with the tidal volume set at 40 ml∕kg and the respiratory rate 40 breaths∕min in group HV1. The rats were mechanically ventilated for 6 h with the tidal volume set at 40 ml∕kg and the respiratory rate 40 breaths∕min in group HV2. Blood samples were collected at the end of ven?tilation for determination of serum neuron?specific enolase(NSE)and S100β protein concentrations by en?zyme?linked immunosorbent assay. Six rats were then sacrificed and their brains were removed for determi?nation of interleukin?1β(IL?1β)and tumor necrosis factor?α(TNF?α)contents(by enzyme?linked im?munosorbent assay)and expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase(GAD)and GABAAreceptors(by Western blot). Morris water maze test was performed on 2nd day after the end of ventilation. Results Compared with group LV, the serum concentrations of NSE and S100β protein and contents of IL?1β and TNF?α were significantly increased, the expression of GAD and GABAAreceptors was up?regulated, the es?cape latency was prolonged, and the percentage of swimming distance at the original platform was decreased in HV1and HV2groups(P<0.05). Compared with group HV1, the serum concentrations of NSE and S100β protein and contents of IL?1β and TNF?α were significantly increased, the expression of GAD and GABAAreceptors was up?regulated, the escape latency was prolonged, and the percentage of swimming distance at the original platform was decreased in group HV2(P<0.05). Conclusion Activation of GABA signaling pathway is enhanced during ventilator?induced brain injury, which may be involved in the patho?physiological mechanism of ventilator?induced brain injury in rats.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenfu injection preconditioning on ventilator-induced brain injury in rats.Methods Sixty healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 300-320 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=20 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),ventilator-induced brain injury group (group VIBI) and Shenfu injection group (group SF).Rats were mechanically ventilated for 6 h with tidal volume of 40 ml/kg in VIBI and SF groups.Rats were mechanicaliy ventilated for 6 h with tidal volume of 10 ml/kg in group C.Shenfu injection 20 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before ventilation in group SF.Blood samples were collected at 2 and 6 h of ventilation for measurement of the concentrations of serum S100β protein (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Then the rats were sacrificed at the end of ventilation,and brains were removed for determination of the contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-o) (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and expression of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor in brain tissues (by Westem blot).Results Compared with group C,the serum concentrations of S100β protein at each time point of ventilation and contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in brain tissues were significantly increased,and the expression of GAD and GABAA receptor was down-regulated in VIBI and SF groups (P<0.05).Compared with group VIBI,the serum concentrations of S100β protein at each time point of ventilation and contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in brain tissues were significantly decreased,and the expression of GAD and GABAA receptor was up-regulated in group SF (P<0.05).Conclusion Shenfu injection preconditioning can relieve ventilator-induced brain injury in rats,and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting inflammatory responses and activating GABA signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of ulinastatin on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signal pathway in mice with ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).Methods Thirty-six male Wister mice were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:control group (group C), ventilator-induced lung injury group (group VILI),and ventilator-induced lung injury+ ulinastatin group (group UTI),n =12 in each group.VILI was induced by 4 h mechanical ventilation with tidal volume 40 ml/kg in groups VILI and UTI.Ulinastatin 1×10 5 U/kg was injected intraperitoneally 1 h before ventilation in group UTI,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in groups C and VILI.The mice were then sacrificed,the left lung was lavaged,and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF)was collected for determination of concentrations of protein,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1).The lung tissues were re-moved for determination of the wet to dry lung weight (W/D)ratio,the mRNA expression level of IL-1β,TNF-αand ICAM-1.The pathological changes of the lungs were determined under light micro-scope and the lung injury scores were also determined.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detected the protein expression level of GAD and GABAA R.Results The W/D ratio (6.7 ± 2.4 vs.8.5±2.3)and lung scores [(6.9±2.3)scores vs.(1 1.8±2.7)scores]were significantly de-creased in group UTI than those in group VILI.The concentrations of IL-1β[(56±1 1)ng/L vs.(77 ±1 5)ng/L],TNF-α[(105±29)ng/L vs.(1 58±37)ng/L]and ICAM-1 [(205±46)ng/L vs.(293 ±61)ng/L]in BALF in group UTI were significantly decreased than those in group VILI.The mRNA ex-pression levels of IL-1β(1.81±0.26 vs.2.58±0.34),TNF-α(1.61±0.15 vs.2.94±0.27)and ICAM-1 (1.74±0.27 vs.2.79±0.31)were significantly decreased in group UTI than those in group VILI.The protein expression levels of GAD (0.44±0.08 vs.0.18 ±0.04)and GABAA R (0.30 ±0.09 vs.0.15 ± 0.04)were significantly increased in group UTI than those in group VILI.Conclusion Ulinastatin can at-tenuate VILI probably through activating GABA signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the specimen source of clinical isolated Acinetobacter(A.)baumannii and its department distribution and drug resistance in order to guide the clinical standardized medication for preventing the drug resistance increase. Methods The drug resistance of A.baumannii was monitored by using the unified scheme,materials,methods and criteria (CLSI2010).Results Among 579 strains of A.Baumannii,39 strains(2.2%)were isolated in 2011,187 strains(10.5%)were isola-ted in 2012 and 353 strains(15.4%)were isolated in 2013.In the department distribution,271 strains were isolated from ICU and 104 strains from the department of respiratory medicine.In the positive isolation rates of various specimens,the positive rate was dominated by the sputum specimen(5.55%),followed by wound secretion and pus.The antibacterial susceptibility tests showed that A.baumannii had lowest resistance to cefoperazone/sulbactam(40.1%),which could be used as the drug of first choice.Con-clusion A.baumannii has the higher resistance to many kinds of antibacterial drugs.The drug resistance monitoring of A.bauman-nii should be strengthened in clinc and antibacterial drugs should be selected and used rationally.

ABSTRACT

In this paper,heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are extracted from ECG,and the five indexes in both time and frequency domains are analyzed.The result shows that the standard deviation (SDNN) of R-R intervals,the value of total power (TP),the power value of low frequency (LF) of HRV and the value of LF/HF increase obviously,while the power value of high frequency (HF) decreases markedly after fatigue.The physical fatigue level is classified according to the rate of increase and decrease of the indexes above.It is suggested that these five ECG indexes be used to reflect and evaluate the degree of physical fatigue quantitatively.
