[Correlation analysis between blood routine-derived inflammatory markers and respiratory function in pneumoconiosis patients].

Objective: To analyze the correlation between blood routine-derived inflammation indicators and respiratory function in patients with pneumoconiosis. Methods: In January 2021, 492 male pneumoconiosis patients hospitalized in Hefei Institute of Occupational Disease Control and Prevention from 2012 to 2020 were randomly selected as the case group, 492 dust exposed non pneumoconiosis workers who underwent occupational health examination at the same time were taken as the control group. The occupational history and clinical examination data of the two groups of subjects were collected, the correlation between blood routine-derived inflammatory indexes and pulmonary function and blood gas analysis was analyzed retrospectively. Results: Compared with the control group, the lymphocyte monocyte ratio (LMR) in the case group was decreased, and the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . There were significant differences in forced vital capacity as a percentage of the predicted value (FVC) , forced expiratory volume in the first second as a percentage of the predicted value (FEV(1)%) , one second rate (FEV(1)/FVC) , partial pressure of oxygen (PaO(2)) , partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO(2)) , and pH among pneumoconiosis patients at different stages (P<0.05) . FVC%, FEV(1)%, FEV(1)/FVC, and PaO(2) decreased with the increase of the stage, the trend test was statistically significant (tau-b=-0.24, -0.34, -0.37, -0.17, P<0.05) , PaCO(2) and pH increased with the increase of the stage, and the trend test was statistically significant (tau-b=0.10, 0.08, P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in LYM, LMR, NLR, platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with pneumoconiosis at different stages (P<0.05) , and LYM and LMR decreased with the increase of stage, trend test showed that there was statistically significant (tau-b=-0.11, -0.13, P<0.05) . There were significant differences in FVC%, FEV(1)%, FEV(1)/FVC, PaO(2), pH, LMR, NLR, PLR among patients with different types of pneumoconiosis (P<0.05) . LMR in pneumoconiosis patients was significantly positively correlated with FVC%, FEV(1)%, FEV(1)/FVC and PaO(2) (r(s)=0.342, 0.324, 0.203, 0.207, P<0.05) , NLR was significantly negatively correlated with FVC%, FEV(1)%, FEV(1)/FVC and PaO(2) (r(s)=-0.193, -0.202, -0.164, -0.177, P<0.05) , PLR was significantly negatively correlated with FVC%, FEV(1)%, FEV(1)/FVC and PaO(2) (r(s)=-0.194, -0.193, -0.106, -0.113, P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that LMR in pneumoconiosis patients was positively related with FVC%, FEV(1)% and PaO(2) (P<0.05) . Conclusion: LMR in patients with pneumoconiosis has a certain correlation with lung function and blood gas analysis, LMR is expected to become a sensitive indicator for evaluating pneumoconiosis.

[Analysis of 649 cases of stillbirth in third trimester].

Objective: To analyze the risk factors of stillbirth in third trimester. Methods: Clinical data of 649 cases of stillbirth in third trimester were analyzed retrospectively in 22 hospitals of Haidian district from October 2011 to September 2016, including the incidence, the maternal profile, the perinatal care during pregnancy and the causes of stillbirth. Results: (1) The incidence of stillbirth in third trimester in Haidian district from October 2011 to September 2016 was 0.293%(649/221 845). While the incidence in floating pregnant women (0.349%, 342/97 939) was higher than that in the residence (0.248%, 307/123 906), with statistically significant difference (χ(2)=19.178, P<0.01). The incidence of stillbirth in multiple pregnancy(0.201%, 89/4 264) was higher than that in singleton pregnancy (0.257%, 560/217 581), with statistically significant difference(χ(2)=4.690, P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of stillbirth between male (0.300%, 347/115 632) and female fetuses (0.284%, 302/106 205; χ(2)=0.467, P>0.05).(2)Among the 649 cases, the floating population accounted for the majority of those who never had prenatal visit (84.0%, 21/25), or less than 5 visits (80.7%, 125/155), or the first visit was beyond 13 gestational weeks(66.0%, 165/649). The causes of stillbirth in order were fetal factors (30.7%, 199/649), maternal factors(28.0%, 182/649), umbilical cord factors (20.0%, 130/649), unexplained factors (17.6%, 114/649) and placental factors (3.7%, 24/649). Birth defects, pregnancy hypertensive disorders, umbilical cord entanglement or torsion were the most important factors, accounting for 22.8%(148/649), 17.4%(113/649), 17.3%(112/649), respectively. Conclusions: The floating pregnant women are key population of stillbirth in third trimester. Maternal care and education should be strengthened in this population. The prevention of birth defect, better prenatal care in women with complications, and close monitor during labor are the key measures to reduce the incidence of stillbirth in third trimester.
