Hence, it should be disposed properly to prevent asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. This study aimed to verify whether forsterite, a heating product of chrysotile, can cause carcinogenicity, particularly mesothelioma. Forsterite (FO-1000) and enstatite (EN-1500) produced by heating chrysotile at 1,000°C and 1,500°C, respectively, were subjected. We injected 10 mg of chrysotile, FO-1000, or EN-1500 in rats intraperitoneally and observed the development of peritoneal mesothelioma until 24 months. The incidence of peritoneal mesothelioma in the chrysotile group was 91.2%, whereas in the FO-1000 and EN-1500 groups, peritoneal mesothelioma did not develop. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and serum N-ERC/mesothelin concentrations significantly increased in the chrysotile group that developed peritoneal mesothelioma, while they only temporarily changed in the FO-1000 or EN-1500 groups during early treatment. Furthermore, there was a significant homozygous deletion of the CDKN2A/p16 gene in the chrysotile group compared to the control group, in contrast to no significant difference in the FO-1000 and EN-1500 groups. Therefore, this study provides clear evidence that forsterite is a nonmesothelioma carcinogen and suggests that forsterite and enstatite are sufficient substances for chrysotile detoxification.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"14-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11779520/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141065237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly, high levels of PSC would enable employees to optimally perceive and utilize more job resources in dealing with corresponding job demands. A study was conducted among 406 Chinese workers from various occupational sectors. The findings of hierarchical regression analyses suggested that PSC a) mitigates the negative relation between emotional resources and exhaustion, b) enhances the positive relation between emotional resources and work engagement, and c) mitigates the negative relation between emotional demands and work engagement. We also found that PSC is a compensatory factor for low cognitive resources and demands encouraging high work engagement. Although we did not find the proposed three-way interactions, the present findings support the idea that high PSC is a fundamental contextual factor conducive to workers' health and well-being, especially in perceiving and obtaining emotional resources.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"3-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11779518/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141065266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LUTS were assessed using the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICIQ-SF). Health-related productivity losses (HRPL) were estimated using the work productivity and activity impairment questionnaire for urinary symptoms (WPAI-US). Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the association between workplace toilet access and LUTS. In addition, generalised linear regression analysis was performed to assess HRPL according to workplace toilet access. Of the 1057 participants, 260 (24.6%) and 294 (27.81%) had overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, respectively. More than 50% reported poor access to toilet. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the lower the access to toilets in the workplace, the higher the incidence of LUTS and the higher HRPL.

Forty-seven males in their 40s and 50s participated, and the protocol included three driving sets with four break patterns. One driving set consisted of 1 hour of city driving and 1 hour of highway driving. The four break patterns were a 30-min lunch break (short/one: SO, n=12), a 60-minute lunch break (long/one: LO, n=12), a 10-min break and a 50-min lunch break (long/two: LT, n=12), and a 10-min break and a 20-min lunch break (short/two: ST, n=11). The results showed that the lunch break was significantly effective in moderating diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and heart rate for all conditions, but the long-break conditions (LO and LT) were also effective in moderating cardiac output and stroke volume. Additionally, for the same total break length, one longer break was more effective in moderating cardiovascular and subjective burden than two shorter breaks. The results of this study suggest that it is important for drivers to take a lunch break, especially a long break around an hour, to reduce cardiovascular and subjective burden during their shift.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142894217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LBP presence was assessed using a part of the BJSQ. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the factors associated with LBP according to age category. The prevalence of LBP in the study group was 23.3%. After stratification by age, overweight status and job stress were found to be significantly associated with LBP in all age groups. However, smoking status was significantly associated with LBP among individuals aged <40 yr (effect of interaction p=0.03) whereas exercise was significantly associated only among individuals aged ≥40 yr (effect of interaction p<0.01).

We measured andropause symptoms using the Aging Male's Symptoms (AMS) scale, and work functioning impairment using the Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun). The data were analyzed using Poisson regression with robust variance to estimate the relationship between andropause severity and work functioning impairment. The findings indicated a significant association between severe symptoms of andropause and increased work functioning impairment among male workers. Higher AMS scores, reflecting more severe symptoms, correlated with greater work functioning impairment, particularly with regard to physical and psychological health issues, such as muscle weakness and depressive symptoms. This study highlights the need for workplace health programs that include middle-aged and older male workers to address and manage symptoms of andropause. Further, it emphasizes the importance of recognizing andropause as a significant health issue that can adversely affect work performance and productivity. Future studies should incorporate the measurement of testosterone to ensure the more accurate assessment of andropause and its impact on work functioning.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142780136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used longitudinal data with a 4-yr interval from the Midlife in Japan study. 152 participants who were employed at baseline without missing variables of interest were included. We assessed the associations of baseline WFC and FWC with changes in metabolic risk factors between baseline and follow-up using Generalized Estimating Equations. After adjusting for baseline sociodemographic, work and family-related, and lifestyle factors, the fully adjusted model showed WFC was significantly associated with changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and Total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio. However, FWC was not significantly associated with changes in any metabolic risk factors. Our findings indicated a significant impact of WFC on LDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratio but no significant impact of FWC on metabolic health. Since these metabolic risk factors cause CVD, understanding the physiological responses to occupational psychosocial stress could help create primary prevention interventions and assess their effects on workers' metabolic health.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"367-376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11611536/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142286195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
