To explore the risk factors of pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, to construct a clinical prediction model for patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention of pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. In January 2024, a total of 232 patients with pneumoconiosis (including coal workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis) who were treated in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Third People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Occupational Disease Hospital) from January 2022 to January 2023 were randomly selected as the study subjects. Collectted basic patient information and diagnostic data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors related to pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. According to the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, a nomogram was established, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive ability. Among the 232 patients with pneumoconiosis, 73 were complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, accounting for 31.47% (73/232). Multivariate logistic regression analysis determined that dust exposure time, type of work, smoking history, and lung function level were all risk factors for pneumoconiosis complicated with tuberculosis (=10.33, 95%=1.92~55.66, =5.43, 95% =1.91~15.44, =3.10, 95% =1.15~8.37, =4.00, 95% =1.62~9.87; <0.05). The constructed nomogram model has good clinical applicability when the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is 0.77 [95% (0.69, 0.73) ], the calibration curve is close to the ideal diagonal, the absolute error between the simulation curve and the actual curve is 0.03, and the DCA decision curve shows that the probability threshold of the nomogram model is 1%-90%. The risk of pneumoconiosis complicated with tuberculosis is high, and the risk factors of dust exposure time, smoking history, type of work and lung function level are high. This nomogram model can be used to predict the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with pneumoconiosis, which is helpful for early intervention.

This correlation has been studied since the 1930s, and it is believed that exposure to silica can lead to various autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic sclerosis. The exact mechanisms behind this link remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of connective tissue diseases (CTD) and positive autoantibodies in pneumoconiosis patients and the association between radiological categorization and autoantibodies.

A male patient in his 70s, who had previously worked as a bricklayer, presented with worsening shortness of breath on exertion and cough for 6 months. He had lost weight, and a respiratory examination suggested a right pleural effusion. Routine evaluation was unremarkable.

Background: As one of the most severe occupational diseases that prevention efforts have supported for several decades, silicosis is still a public health issue that lacks a prediction model for pulmonary embolism.
Methods: A total of 162 patients confirmed to have silicosis were all involved in a training cohort to construct a nomogram with the outcome diagnosed by the CTPA using logistic regression. Univariate and LASSO analyses were used to select variables for the nomogram.

Endobronchial Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI) infection has been described in immunocompromised patients but is rare among transplant recipients. We present a case of a 48-year-old male with a history of coal miners' pneumoconiosis who underwent bilateral lung transplantation. Ten months post-transplant, despite normal spirometry and absence of respiratory symptoms, routine surveillance bronchoscopy revealed multiple endobronchial polypoid lesions.

To investigate the risk factors for pneumoconiosis associated with asthma. A total of 256 pneumoconiosis patients diagnosed by chest X-ray at our hospital were analyzed. Based on pulmonary function tests, pneumoconiosis cases were divided into non-asthma and asthma-complicated groups.
