Pedestrian injuries and the relevant burden in shanghai, china: implications for control.

Objective: To study the associations of pedestrian injuries with age, income and educational level in Shanghai and to analyze the relative disease burden.

Methods: Information on pedestrian-related cases and deaths were collected from 494 hospitals and mortality registry systems from 1992 to 2010, and a multistage cluster sampling survey conducted in 2006. Logistic regression model was used in the analyses.

Multicriteria decision-making approach with hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets.

The definition of hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (HIVIFSs) is developed based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). Then, some operations on HIVIFSs are introduced in detail, and their properties are further discussed. In addition, some hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number aggregation operators based on t-conorms and t-norms are proposed, which can be used to aggregate decision-makers' information in multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems.

[Epidemiological study of cytopenia among benzene-exposed workers and its influential factors].

Objective: To evaluate the benzene exposure level and cytopenia among the benzene exposed workers in Shanghai, China and to analyze the influential factors for the health of benzene-exposed workers.

Methods: A total of 3314 benzene-exposed workers, who were from 85 benzene-related enterprises selected by stratified random sampling based on enterprise sizes and industries, were included in the study. The time-weighted average (TWA) concentration of benzene in each workshop was measured by individual sampling and fixed point sampling, and the benzene exposure level in workshop was evaluated accordingly.

Studying the interaction between CdTe quantum dots and Nile blue by absorption, fluorescence and resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra.

Thioglycolic acid (TGA) capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with the diameter of 2-3nm were synthesized. The interaction between CdTe QDs and Nile blue (NB) was investigated by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption, resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. UV-vis absorption spectrum of CdTe QDs and NB obviously changed, showing that CdTe QDs could associate with NB to form a new complex.

[Clinical analysis on 75 cases of aluminosis caused by black fused alumina].

Objective: To investigate the hazards of aluminum dusts to the exposed workers and the clinical features of aluminosis.

Method: Retrospective investigation on 75 aluminosis patients from a certain factory diagnosed in Shanghai Occupational Diseases Hospital from 1972 to 2004 was carried out.

Results: There were 27 cases of aluminosis I (36.
