RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo study the epidemiological characteristics of deaths due to pneumoconiosis and its complications in order to improve the prevention and management of pneumoconiosis. MethodsThe pneumoconiosis deaths who died during 1959‒2019 in Chongming District of Shanghai were investigated and analyzed retrospectively by the descriptive epidemiological methods. The correlation of the age of onset and the course of disease was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation，as well as the duration of dust exposure and the course of disease in pneumoconiosis patients. ResultsFrom 1959 to 2019， there were 226 pneumoconiosis deaths， 223 males （98.67%）. The mortality of silicosis was the highest （82.07%）. The age of onset of pneumoconiosis was negatively correlated with the course of disease （rs=-0.596，P<0.001）.There was no correlation between the duration of dust exposure and the course of disease in pneumoconiosis patients （rs=-0.107，P=0.109）.There were statistically significant differences in mortality among groups in different types and stages of pneumoconiosis（χ2=59.250，27.666，both P<0.05）. The mortality increased with the increase of stage of pneumoconiosis. The mortality of pneumoconiosis was significantly different in 1959‒1979， 1980‒1989， 1990‒1999， 2000‒2009 and 2010‒2019 （χ2=29.750， P<0.05）. The top three causes of death in pneumoconiosis cases were respiratory diseases， malignant tumor and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.ConclusionIt is suggested to further strengthen the health monitoring and management of pneumoconiosis patients，control lung and chronic respiratory diseases to delay the life expectancy and improve quality of life of pneumoconiosis patients.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the medical examinations of radiation worker in medical institutions and provide some basic data for radiation protection management. Methods The occupational health examination of 3568 radiation workers from 681 medical institutions who came to our hospital for occupational health examination from January 1 to December 31 in 2020 were summarized and analyzed. Results There was no case of suspected occupational radiation sickness. The abnormal rate was in the range of 2.17%～2.99%, the rate of occupational contraindicated was about 1.44%～2.17%. The total review rate was about 13.00%, more than 79.48% of the radiation workers were checked out other diseases or abnormal. The abnormal examination items are mainly ophthalmology, B ultrasound of liver, gallbladder, spleen and pancreas, liver function, electrocardiogram, blood routine, urine routine, blood pressure, B ultrasound of both kidneys and kidney function. The abnormal rate of ophthalmology in each level of institutions was decreased with the increase of the length of service, while the abnormal results of B-ultrasound of liver, gallbladder, spleen and pancreas, blood pressure, B-ultrasound of both kidneys and renal function were increased with the increase of service. Conclusion Maybe the radiation protection of radiation workers in medical institutions was well in Shenzhen, but there were different effects of the health status of the staff. Therefore, it is important to further strengthen the occupational health monitoring management.
