Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions from internal floating-roof tank in oil depots in Beijing: Influencing factors and emission reduction strategies analysis.

The internal floating-roof tank is the main type of storage tank for refined oil products. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission from the internal floating-roof tank plays a dominant role in the unorganized emission source of the oil depot. In this study, we selected six typical oil depots in Beijing to investigate VOC emission characteristics from the tank top vent hole using infrared imaging technology and flame ionization detector (FID).

Safety analysis of therapeutic drugs for breast cancer patients and construction of a predictive model for serious adverse drug reactions.

Objectives: To explore the characteristics of the occurrence of antineoplastic drug adverse reactions (ADRs) in breast cancer and to utilize a computerized tool to identify early warning indicators of potentially serious ADRs.

Methods: We conducted descriptive statistical analyses of the demographic features, medication use characteristics, and clinical manifestations of suspected ADRs in ADR-exposed patients using data from the Shaanxi Provincial Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center, China, from 2017 to 2021. Using disproportionality methods (reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, and comprehensive standard method), the relationship between drugs and ADRs was measured.

Emission of VOCs from service stations in Beijing: Species characteristics and pollutants co-control based on SOA and O.

Currently, air pollution is primarily characterized by PM and O. Therefore, the co-control of PM and O has become an important task of atmosphere pollution prevention and control in China. However, few studies have been conducted on the emissions from vapor recovery and processes, which is an important source of VOCs.

Safety analysis of antineoplastic drugs for lung cancer: a retrospective analysis based on Shaanxi Province in Western China.

Background: China has the highest proportion of lung cancer-related deaths. Drug therapy is the main tool of comprehensive anticancer treatment. However, most studies to date have focused on certain types of targets or immunotherapeutic modalities for drug safety; few studies have addressed the factors that influence ADRs for each type of drug in patients with lung cancer, and even fewer studies have explored the risk factors for certain types of ADRs.

[Chemical Composition of VOCs from Service Stations Vapor Processing Device and Associated Contributions to Secondary Pollution].

Vapor processing device is a device that can control the headspace pressure in the underground storage tanks and recover the vapor. By analyzing the chemical composition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the inlet and outlet of the vapor processing device, the ozone formation potential (OFP) and secondary organic aerosol formation potential (SOAP) were estimated by maximum incremental reaction (MIR) and fractional aerosol coefficients (FAC), and the secondary pollution formation contribution of VOCs were quantitatively evaluated. The results showed that:① the (total volatile organic compounds, TVOC) at the inlet and outlet of the vapor processing device were 436-706 g·m and 4.

Use of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for Risk Analysis of Drug Use in Patients with Lung Cancer.

It is crucial to investigate the risk factors inherent in the medication process for cancer patients since improper antineoplastic drug use frequently has serious consequences. As a result, the Severity, Occurrence, and Detection rate of each potential failure mode in the drug administration process for patients with lung cancer were scored using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) model in this study. Then, the risk level of each failure mode and the direction of improvement were investigated using the Slacks-based measure data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model.

Effects of community family doctors-led intervention for self-management and medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: study protocol of a cluster randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: The management of diabetes has become a critical public health issue in China. The development of community-based type 2 diabetes management in China has not yet reached an ideal state, and the most suitable management methods for diabetic patients are still being explored. Few studies have used community-based family doctors to perform interventions of appropriate intensity.

A cross-sectional study: comparison of public perceptions of adverse drug reaction reporting and monitoring in eastern and western China.

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) cause a substantial clinical and economic burden. Spontaneous reporting of ADRs by the public is crucial. In some developed countries like the United States, Canada, consumers have been allowed to directly report ADRs, however, convenient channels for direct ADR reporting by the public are lacking in China.

Assessment of medication adherence, medication safety awareness and medication practice among patients with lung cancer: A multicentre cross-sectional study.

Objectives: We aimed to explore the current status of medication adherence, safety awareness and practice among patients with lung cancer.

Methods: We conducted a questionnaire-guided cross-sectional study in Xi'an, Yulin, Hanzhong and Weinan in Shaanxi Province, China, from April to June 2021 for a period of 3 months. The study questionnaire was developed according to previous related studies reported in the literature, and includes basic demographic information and patients' medication safety questions.

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D deficiency induces sarcopenia by inducing skeletal muscle cell senescence.

To determine if 1,25(OH)D deficiency can induce age-related sarcopenia, the skeletal muscular phenotype of male wild-type (WT) and Cyp27b1 knockout (KO) mice were compared at 3 and 6 months of age. We found that muscle mass, grip strength and muscle fiber size were significantly decreased in aging Cyp27b1 KO male mice. The expression levels of genes related to mitochondrial metabolic activity, and antioxidant enzymes including SOD1, catalase, Nqo1 and Gcs were significantly down-regulated in skeletal muscle tissue of Cyp27b1 KO male mice; in contrast, the percentage of p16 and p21 myofibers, and the expression of p16, p19, p21, p53, TNFα, IL6 and MMP3 at mRNA and/or protein levels were significantly increased.
