Criteria for risk assessment are listed in the ordinance of the Minister of Health on harmful biological agents in the workplace and the protection of workers exposed to those agents. Accordingly, risk assessment should be based on all available information including classification of biological agents, risk groups 2-4; information on diseases which may be contracted as a result of work; information on diseases from which workers are found to be suffering and which have a direct connection with their work; recommendations from competent sanitary authorities; National Labour Inspectorate; and occupational medicine services.

As the spectrum of ophthalmic diseases keeps changing, uveitis has gradually become one of the major blinding eye diseases in the world. Although the efficacy and safety of adalimumab and other biological agents in the treatment of uveitis have been proved in clinical studies, no biological agents have been approved for the treatment of uveitis by Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The quality of life and prognosis of uveitis patients are affected by the adverse reactions of currently available immunosuppressive drugs. In recent years, it has become a research hotspot to select effective components for uveitis treatment from natural drugs. Based on the classification of chemical structure, the therapeutic effect and mechanism of natural drug components on uveitis were discussed in detail, in order to provide reference for basic drug development and clinical research.

Objective: to discuss the classification of the health hazard allowance due to exposure to biological agents attributed to Nursing professionals, based on legal and occupational parameters supported on the principle of human dignity. Method: an original reflection study with theoretical analysis on legislation, jurisprudence and Occupational Health focused on the biological risks, health hazard and rights of Brazilian workers. The discussions were based on the current legislation and on scientific evidence. Results: the classification of the health hazard allowance due to exposure to biological agents attributed to Nursing professionals is not in line with the factual situation experienced by them. Conclusion: it becomes necessary to broaden the discussion on the subject matter and to review the effective and fair compensation of Nursing professionals due to exposure to potentially contaminated biological agents in their work environments, given that the health hazard allowance is a worker’s right and is based on human dignity.

Carbon Stars

We have investigated the spectrograms (dispersion: 8Å/mm) in the photographic infrared region fromλ7500 toλ9000 of some carbon stars obtained by the coudé spectrograph of the 74-inch reflector attached to the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. The names of the stars investigated are listed in Table 1.

Good Agreement

For years the separation of carcinoma and sarcoma and the subclassification of sarcomas has been based on the appearance of the tumor cells and their microscopic growth pattern and information derived from certain histochemical and special stains. Although this method of study has produced good agreement among pathologists in the separation of carcinoma from sarcoma, it has given less uniform results in the subclassification of sarcomas. There remain examples of neoplasms of different histogenesis, the classification of which is questionable because of similar cytologic and growth patterns at the light microscopic level; i.e. amelanotic melanoma versus carcinoma and occasionally sarcoma, sarcomas with an epithelial pattern of growth simulating carcinoma, histologically similar mesenchymal tumors of different histogenesis (histiocytoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma, lytic osteogenic sarcoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma), and myxomatous mesenchymal tumors of diverse histogenesis (myxoid rhabdo and liposarcomas, cardiac myxoma, myxoid neurofibroma, etc.)
