“…But so far there has been limited data on the prevalence, characteristics and associated factors of NSP among Chinese public hospital workers. However, the prevalence of NSP was reported to be very high among some subgroups, 95.1% for neck pain or discomfort among 567 sonographers from 521 medical institutions in 2017 12 , 62.0% and 60.3% for shoulders pain and neck pain among 1017 obstetrics and gynecology practitioners in 2015 13 , and 42.8% and 38.9% for neck pain and shoulders pain among 180 nurses in 2004 14 . In a cross-sectional study conducted in Shandong province, China, in 2018, the prevalence of MSDs of the neck and shoulders region lasting for at least 24 h in the past 12 months was reported to be 52.1% and 47.6%, respectively, among 14,720 healthcare professionals from eight tertiary hospitals 4 .…”

Studies have reported that neck and/or shoulder pain (nSp) was prevalent and a non-ignorable occupational health problem in healthcare providers. Considering data deficiency on NSP, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and sick leave absence of NSP among public hospital workers in Shandong, china and to explore the associated factors for chronic nSp. A self-administered questionnaire including the Dutch Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and Modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was filled in by 30,520 hospital workers in 37 hospitals selected randomly from among all public hospitals of Shandong, China. The 12-month prevalence of NSP lasting for at least 3 months and sick leave absence due to NSP among 29,547 public hospital workers was 15.6% and 11.4%, respectively, most frequently reported in tertiary hospital workers (27.4% and 18.9%) and clinicians (19.1% and 15.2%). Log-binomial regression analysis revealed that chronic NSP was significantly associated with hospital level, employment position, contract/temporary employment status (vs. permanent), workload (long work hours per week), ergonomic factors (bending the neck forward for long periods of time, twisting the neck for long periods of time) and computer-related factors (prolonged computer-using time daily, the keyboard too close to the edge of the desk). During the past decades, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) have become common and an unfavorable occupational health problem among healthcare providers 1-4. Studies have shown that MSDs not only could burden society with great costs but also could lead to decreased productivity, illness, disability and other problems 5-8. A systematic review and meta-analysis 6 of including 13 cohort studies revealed that subjects with musculoskeletal disorders of neck or back region had a 17% increase on the rate of developing a chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes compared to subjects without (hazard ratio 1.17, 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.22). Neck and/or shoulder pain (NSP), one of MSDs, has also been reported prevalent in healthcare providers and been studied among some occupations in developed and some developing countries. The prevalence of neck pain or discomfort was reported to be 12% among 5269 Taiwanese nurses 2 to 51.9% among 181 New Zealand nurses 9 and shoulders pain or discomfort 17% among 5269 Taiwanese nurses 2 to 48.6% among 347 Iranian hospital nurses 10. In mainland China, considering the large number of the Chinese population and population aging, more and more medical services are needed. Due to the trust in public hospitals established and policy support for many years, most people would rather go to public hospitals rather than private hospitals when seeking medical service 11. From January to November in 2019, the number of visits among all the 11,891 public hospitals and 22,081 private hospitals in mainland China was 2889.5 million and 515.3 million, respectively, and the number of discharged patients was 153.1 million and 31.7 million, respectively 11.

“…Because the GRHI took place over a single 24 h period, it is possible that a second day of increased water intake within many of the intervention groups may have allowed those participants to return to U col < 4. Although from a different geographical population, the finding that free-living individuals with habitual TWI > 2500 mL day −1 were associated with optimal hydration [ 39 ] supports the theory that a longer duration of G +1.50 or G +2.25 GRHI would have been successful in returning a greater proportion to more desirable urine concentrations.…”

Purpose This investigation had three purposes: (a) to evaluate changes in hydration biomarkers in response to a graded rehydration intervention (GRHI) following 3 days of water restriction (WR), (b) assess within-day variation in urine concentrations, and (c) quantify the volume of fluid needed to return to euhydration as demonstrated by change in U col . Methods 115 adult males and females were observed during 1 week of habitual fluid intake, 3 days of fluid restriction (1000 mL day −1 ), and a fourth day in which the sample was randomized into five different GRHI groups: no additional water, CON; additional 500 mL, G +0.50 ; additional 1000 mL, G +1.00 ; additional 1500 mL, G +1.50 ; additional 2250 mL, G +2.25 . All urine was collected on 1 day of the baseline week, during the final 2 days of the WR, and during the day of GRHI, and evaluated for urine osmolality, color, and specific gravity. Results Following the GRHI, only G +1.50 and G +2.25 resulted in all urinary values being significantly different from CON. The mean volume of water increase was significantly greater for those whose U col changed from > 4 to < 4 (+ 1435 ± 812 mL) than those whose U col remained ≥ 4 (+ 667 ± 722 mL, p < 0.001). Conclusions An additional 500 mL of water is not sufficient, while approximately 1500 mL of additional water (for a total intake between 2990 and 3515 mL day −1 ) is required to return to a urine color associated with adequate water intake, following 3 days of WR.

The change in the industrial land is of great significance to the sustainable development of cities. However, scholars have done relatively little research on this subject, especially on the urban industrial land expansion process and its influencing factors. This article selects Shunde, a typical Chinese industrial city of the Guangdong province, using remote sensing interpretation to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of industrial land expansion from 1995 to 2017 and applies the multiple regression model to analyze the influencing factors. The main conclusions are as follows: the industrial land in Shunde has experienced the development trend of “slow expansion-rapid expansion-slow expansion,” and the “fragmentation” of the industrial land space is still prominent. Decentralization, marketization, capital, and labor force have passed the significance test of the model, which are important factors influencing the expansion of the industrial land in Shunde. Among them, decentralization is the primary factor, while marketization has the greatest impact on industrial land expansion in Shunde. The influence of globalization and technical progress is not significant.
