Cancer mortality among shoe manufacturing workers: an analysis of two cohorts.

OBJECTIVES: To examine the cancer risk of shoe manufacturing workers and evaluate whether the risk was associated with exposure to leather dust and solvents. METHODS: Data from two historical cohort studies of shoe workers were expanded and analysed in parallel. A total of 4215 shoemakers from England contributing 103 726 person-years at risk and 2008 shoemakers from Florence, Italy, contributing 54,395 person-years at risk were included in the analysis. Exposure to leather dusts and solvents from glues was evaluated on the basis of job title information. Standardised mortality ratios (SMR) were calculated as ratios of observed deaths (Obs) over expected derived from national mortalities. RESULTS: Overall mortality was lower than expected in both cohorts (English cohort: Obs 3314, SMR 81, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 78-84; Florence cohort: Obs 333, SMR 87, 95% CI 78-97). An increased risk of nasal cancer was found (English cohort: Obs 12, SMR 741; Florence cohort: Obs 1, SMR 909). 10 of the 13 cases occurred among English workers employed in the manufacture of welted boots (SMR 926, 95% CI 444-1703), a sector of the industry thought to have had the highest exposure to leather dust. Mortality from leukaemia was not increased in the English cohort (Obs 16, SMR 89), but was increased in the Florence cohort (Obs 8, SMR 214, 95% CI 92-421); and the highest risk was found among shoe workers in Florence who were first exposed between 1950 and 1959 when exposure to benzene was substantial (Obs 3, SMR 536, 95% CI 111-1566). Some evidence for an excess risk of stomach, bladder, and kidney cancer, as well as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was also found in the Florence cohort only among workers employed in jobs with the highest exposure to solvents. CONCLUSIONS: These findings confirm the associations between exposure to leather dust and nasal cancer and between exposure to benzene and leukaemia in the shoe manufacturing industry and suggest that the risk of other cancers may be increased among workers exposed to solvents or glues.     

CT造影剂碘海醇注射液的制备及动物实验

本文报道了非离子型Ｘ－ＣＴ造影剂碘海醇注射液的制备及动物实验结果。磺海醇的最大吸收波长λ＿（ｍａｘ）为２４４ｎｍ。讨论了温度、浓度对磺海醇溶液粘度的影响：粘度随温度的升高而下降，呈负线型相关；粘度随浓度（Ｃ）升高而激剧升高，与浓度的四次方呈线性相关：Ｖ＿（３７℃）＝４７２．５８９［Ｃ］￣４＋１．１２１（ｒ＝０．９９７７）Ｖ＿（３０℃）＝６６３．８１３［Ｃ］￣４＋１．１５２（ｒ＝０．９９９６）Ｖ＿（２０℃）＝１０８２．９５３［Ｃ］￣４＋１．４３３（ｒ＝０．９９８２）使用该注射液进行狗的造影实验，获得了清晰的造影图像。

化工行业职业性机械伤害危险因素的病例-交叉方法研究

目的 研究化工行业机械伤害的有关诱发因素，估计其作用强度。方法 采用病例-交叉设计的方法。以操作和检修时受伤的化工工人为研究对象，每个对象在受伤后2d内完成调查，收集他们受伤前10min、上一工作日同一段时间和受伤前1周内有关诱发因素暴露的信息，用配对时间段方法和一般频数法进行分析，评估各种诱发因素的危险度。结果 一般频数法分析的结构表明，操作方法异常、设备工具缺陷、工作紧迫、注意力不集中、不使用防护用品、精神状况较差、与同事配合不协调、工作环境发生变化等瞬时危害因素的RR值及95%可信限的下限均大于1。配对时间段方法分析的结果与其相拟，但95%可信限较宽。结论 化工行业职业性机械伤害的发生存在着诸多诱发因素。病例-交叉研究中的一般频数法与配对时间段方法相比，前者所得结果较为可靠，研究的相对效率较高。建议进一步使用多个时间段方法进行研究，以减小混杂因素的影响。     

Indirect carotid-cavernous sinus fistula: transvenous embolization from the external jugular vein using a superior ophthalmic vein approach. A case report

A case of indirect carotid-cavernous sinus fistula treated by combined transarterial and transvenous embolization is described. A 49-year-old woman with a right indirect carotid-cavernous sinus fistula draining solely to the right superior ophthalmic vein was treated first by transarterial embolization with polyvinyl alcohol particles. Then, by approaching through the superior ophthalmic vein from the right external jugular vein, the cavernous sinus was embolized with platinum wire using a tracker microcatheter, which resulted in marked clinical improvement. Transvenous embolization by approaching from the external jugular vein through the superior ophthalmic vein represents a promising alternative when shunted blood drains anteriorly to the superior ophthalmic vein.

进一步重视脂肪新功能对创面愈合作用的研究

创面愈合的研究范围正随着相关领域的研究进展而不断拓展和完善。以皮下脂肪组织为例 ,以往多数的研究认为 ,脂肪组织来源于间充质细胞 (mesenchymalcell,MC) ,其功能仅是一个能量贮存仓库。但近年来的研究表明 ,脂肪组织还可能是一个重要的内分泌器官 ,在发育学、信号转导 ,以及干细胞作用等多方面与组织修复存在着密切联系。有专家认为 ,加强对脂肪细胞新功能的研究和开发 ,有可能对创面修复和组织再生机制产生新的认识 ,并寻找出新的促愈合手段。脂肪细胞参与创面愈合首先表现在它可能作为一个内分泌器官。迄今为止 ,已经发现人的脂肪细…

测定血清及尿β2微球蛋白评估健康老年人肾功能的价值

测定72例健康老年人（60-84岁）和65例健康青中年人（20-50岁）血清和尿β2微球蛋白（β2m)，发现前血清β2m浓度比后明显增高（p<0.001)；老年组≥70岁尿液β2m浓度也明显增高（p<0.05)。结果表明肾小球滤过率下降随年龄增长而降低，以后再出现肾小管功能减退。本试验较血清尿素氮、肌酐和内生肌酐清除率测定更为敏感。
