Objective To understand the situation of seroepidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection among employees in a pork food processing enterprise in Dongtai City. Methods Totally 200 employees from a pork food processing enterprise in Dongtai City were selected as the research objects. The venous blood of the selected population was extracted and the IgG antibody against T. gondii in serum was detected by ELISA, and the results were analyzed. Results Among the 200 employees, 36 cases were positive in IgG antibody detection, the positive rate was 18.0%. The positive rate of IgG antibody among workers with different length of service was significantly different (χ² = 9.813, P < 0.05). With the increase of working age, the positive rate of IgG antibody gradually increased. The positive rate of IgG antibody to T. gondii was significantly higher in the population who had frequent contact with animals. Conclusions The positive rate of IgG antibody against T. gondii in employees in pork food processing enterprises is high. Therefore, the detection of antibodies against T. gondii and health education should be strengthened in this population.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the early renal injury and the pulse pressure or pulse pressure index in hypertension patients. Methods The pulse pressure (PP) and the pulse pressure index (PPI) in 96 patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension were calculated and the urine β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), the urine α1-microglobulin (α1-MG), albumin were detected.Results The urine β2-MG, the urine α1-MG and albumin in patients with PP>65 mmHg were higher than those with PP≤65 mmHg （P<0.05）; The urine β2-MG and the α1-MG, albumin in patients with PPI>0.5 were higher than those with PPI≤0.5 （P<0.05）. While the patients with renal injury complicated with a higher PP or PPI than those without renal injury （P<0.05）. Conclusion The renal injury is more severe in patients with higher pulse pressure and pulse pressure index.

【Objective】 To compare the supply data of red blood cells(RBCs) from 18 blood centers in China before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 during 2018 to 2021. 【Methods】 Eight indicators related to RBCs supply from 18 blood centers in China during 2018-2021 were collected retrospectively, including the storage of total amount of qualified RBCs (referred to as the total amount of storage), the distribution of total amount of RBCs (referred to as the total amount of distribution), the distribution amount of RBCs per 1 000 population (referred to as the amount of distribution per 1 000 population), the distribution amount of RBCs from 400 mL original blood per 1 000 population [referred to as the amount of distribution per 1 000 population (400 mL)], the average daily distribution amount of RBCs (referred to as the average daily distribution amount), the average daily storage amount of RBCs (referred to as the average daily storage amount), the average storage days of RBCs when distribute (referred to as the RBC storage days), and the expired amount of RBCs (referred to as the expired amount). Based on the outbreak time of COVID-19, the data of 2018 and 2019 were the pre-pandemic group, and the data of 2020 and 2021 were the post-pandemic group. 【Results】 Data on RBCs supply in 18 blood centers from 2018 to 2021(comparison of the pre-pandemic group and the post-pandemic group): the amount of distribution per 1 000 population (median 14.68 U>13.92 U) decreased, the amount of distribution per 1 000 population (400 mL) (median 10.16 U>9.21 U) decreased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); data comparison between 2019 and 2020:the total amount of distribution (median 117 770.38 U>99 084.08 U) decreased, the amount of distribution per 1 000 population (median 15.04 U>12.19 U) decreased, the amount of distribution per 1000 population (400 mL) (median 10.11 U>8.94 U), the average daily distribution amount(322.66 U>270.73 U) decreased and RBC storage days (median 10.50 d<11.45 d) increased, the difference has statistical significance (P<0.05); data comparison between 2020 and 2021:the total amount of storage (median 101 920.25 U<120 328.63 U), the total amount of distribution (median 99 084.08 U<118 428.62 U), the amount of distribution per 1 000 population (median 12.19 U<15.00 U), the amount of distribution per 1 000 population (400 mL) (median 8.94 U<9.46 U), the average daily distribution amount (270.73 U>324.46 U), the average daily inventory (median 3 222.00 U<4 328.00 U) increased, the expired amount (median 1.50 U>0.00 U) decreased, the difference has statistical significance (P<0.05). The results of ANOVA showed that there were significant differences on the data related to RBCs supply (except expired amount) in different blood centers (P<0.05). The ratio of average daily stock to average daily distribution in the post-outbreak group (median 12.36 d) was higher than that in the pre-outbreak group (median 10.92 d), the difference has statistical significance (P<0.05), with significant difference among different blood centers (P <0.05). 【Conclusion】 The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on RBCs supply in different blood centers. In the second year of the pandemic, the supply capability had recovered to some extent, and there were differences in RBCs supply in different blood centers.
