A novel method was developed for the determination of the 15+1 European priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in edible oil by online solid-phase extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/ fluorescence detection ( online-SPE-HPLC-UV/FL-D ) . The edible oil samples were diluted with isopropyl alcohol, and then filtered. The online extraction was performed on a solid phase extraction ChromSpher Pi column (80 mmí3 mm) and the separation was carried out on a C18 reversed-phase PAH column (250 mmí4. 6 mm i. d, 5μm) using ultraviolet detection at 220 nm and fluorescence detection. Isopropyl alcohol, acetonitrile and water were served as mobile phase in gradient elution. The results showed good linearity for the 15+1 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with all the correlation coefficients (R2)>0. 99. The limits of detection ( LODs ) were between 0. 03 and 12. 23 μg/kg. The recoveries of the sixteen components in the three levels of spiked samples were in the range of 65 . 3%-110 . 5% with the relative standard deviation (RSD, n=6) from 0. 1% to 9. 8%.

Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common disease,its incidence is related to geographic environment and race. Studies reported on epidemiology of GERD in minority groups are rare. Aims:To investigate the prevalence and related risk factors of GERD in She population in Ningde. Methods:Three natural villages of She population in Ningde were selected for undergoing the cluster random sampling method. GERD was diagnosed by gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire(GerdQ)with score ≥8,and questionnaire was used to detect the prevalence and risk factors of GERD. Results:A total of 936 residents completed the questionnaire,and 89 were diagnosed as GERD, the prevalence was 9. 50% . Univariate analysis showed that the risk of GERD was significantly increased in She population with body mass index(BMI)≥24 kg/ m2 ,intake of strong tea or oily diet(P all < 0. 01). Multivariate analysis showed that BMI ≥24 kg/ m2(OR = 3. 022,95% CI:1. 917-4. 765),intake of strong tea(OR = 2. 145,95% CI:1. 338-3. 438) and oily diet(OR = 2. 016,95% CI:1. 208-3. 318)were the risk factors of GERD. Conclusions:The prevalence of GERD is high in She population in Fujian Province,and the etiology may be related to overweight and diet habit.

A method for the simultaneous determination of 34 pesticides in sunflower oil, soybean oil and corn oil was developed. The samples were extracted and purified by a modified QuEChERS method, and then the supernatant was analyzed by on-line gel permeation chromatography-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ( GPC-GC-MS ) . The linear range was from 0 . 01 to 0 . 2 mg/L with a good correlation coefficients ( r≥0. 9913). The average recoveries of 31 pesticides (except p,p′-DDE, p,p′-DDD, p,p′-DDT. For detail, please reference to section 3 . 6 ) ranged from 70 . 3% to 115 . 4%, 69 . 5% to 112 . 6% and 70 . 2% to 116 . 1%spiked at 0. 05 μg/g and 0. 1 μg/g with the relative standard deviations (RSDs, n=6) less than 13. 3%, 13. 5% and 12. 1% in sunflower oil, soybean oil and corn oil samples, respectively. The LODs of this method ranged from 0. 0692 to 2. 28, 0. 0559 to 2. 01 and 0. 0584 to 2. 14μg/kg (S/N=3) in sunflower oil, soybean oil and corn oil samples respectively. The convenient operation and versatility of this method are suitable for the fast screening and detection of 34 pesticide residues in sunflower oil, soybean oil and corn oil.

Objective:To ascertain the endemic status of paragonimiasis in Zhejiang Province.Methods:From 2005 to 2020, 2-3 villages in 1-2 counties (cities, districts, hereinafter refferred to as counties) in historical endemic areas of paragonimiasis in Zhejiang Province were selected for monitoring each year. In each village, 50 to 150 local residents were selected as monitoring subjects, venous blood samples were collected, and serum Paragonimus antibody was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fifty to 100 intermediate hosts crabs or crayfish were collected in each village, and the infection of Paragonimus metacercaria was detected by crushing precipitation. Results:The positive rate of Paragonimus antibody was 2.9% (94/3 297); 3 929 crabs or crayfish were divided into 2 749 groups, 790 of which were found to have Paragonimus metacercaria infection, with a Paragonimus metacercaria infection rate of 28.7%. Conclusions:Paragonimus transmission chain exists in some counties of Zhejiang Province, which still has the potential risk of Paragonimus epidemic. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen monitoring and carry out extensive health education to improve residents' self-protection awareness.

Objective:
To examine the association between long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 combined with indoor air pollution and handgrip strength among people aged 50 and over.
Methods:
Data were from the first wave of World Health Organization Study on global AGEing and adult health in China. Ambient annual concentration of PM2.5 was estimated by using the satellite data we also investigated the use of fuels and chimneys as indoor air pollution. A two-level (individual level and community level) linear model was applied to examine the association between long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 combined with indoor air pollution and the handgrip strength.
Results:
A total of 13 175 individuals aged 50 years and over were included for analysis. The handgrip strength was (26.67±0.54) kg. Ambient PM2.5 was found to be significantly associated with the risk of decreased handgrip strength. Outdoor PM2.5 concentration was negatively correlated with handgrip strength (
