Objective:
To analyze the etiological characteristics of an outbreak of Campylobacter foodborne disease in a middle school in Suzhou City, so as to provide insights into the identification of pathogenic factors of Campylobacter foodborne disease outbreaks.
Methods:
Eighteen anal swabs from patients, 10 anal swabs from canteen workers, 43 food samples, 2 drinking water samples, 2 food original material samples and 31 environmental samples were collected, and the pathogens were rapidly screened using the gastrointestinal infection detection strip. The pathogens were isolated and cultured using the double-pore filtration membrane method, and cluster analysis of bacterial isolates was performed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE ). In addition, the susceptibility of Campylobacter isolates to antibiotics was tested using the Campylobacter agar dilution method.
Results:
A total of 63 cases with Campylobacter infections were reported, and the major clinical symptoms included diarrhea ( 51 cases, 80.95% ) and fever ( 39 cases, 61.90% ), while no inpatients or deaths were found. Twelve Campylobacter-positive samples were detected, including 11 anal swabs sampled from patients and one food original material sample. Among the 11 positive anal swabs, there were 10 samples positive for Campylobacter jejuni and one sample positive for C. coli, and of the one positive food original material, C. coli was identified. PFGE analysis showed that 10 C. jejuni isolates of had 100.0% homology, and these 10 isolates were 100.0% resistant to naphthyridic acid, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline, appearing multidrug resistance.
Conclusions
This is an outbreak of foodborne disease caused by C. jejuni infections. Gastrointestinal infection detection strips, double-pore filtration membrane and PFGE typing are rapid and accurate to identify pathogenic factors.

bjective To analyze the drug resistance screening status and drug resistance influencing factors of high-risk groups of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in Qingdao, and to understand the inclusion of rifampicin patients in treatment, so as to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The medical records of 726 cases of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis among high-risk populations registered in Qingdao from 2018 to 2022 were obtained from the National Health Insurance Information System of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The drug resistance to five anti-tuberculosis drugs, namely isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RFP), ethambutol (EMB), levofloxacin (Lfx), and amikacin (Am), in the high-risk populations of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis was analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used toidentify factors influencing rifampicin resistance, and the detection and inclusion of treatment for rifampicin-resistant patients were evaluated. Results Of the 726 subjects, 278 were drug-resistant, with a total drug resistance rate of 38.29%. The drug resistance for the five anti-tuberculosis drugs in descending order was: INH 25.90%(188/726), RFP 22.87%(166/726), Lfx 14.19%(103/726), EMB 11.29%(82/726), Am 2.48%(18/726). Analysis of the drug resistance spectrum showed that among those resistant to one drug, RFP was most common, accounting for 13.67% (38/278); among those resistant to two drugs, INH+RFP was predominant, accounting for 15.83% (44/278); among those resistant to three drugs, INH+RFP+Lfx was most frequent, at 7.19% (22/278); and among those resistant to four drugs, INH+RFP+EMB+Lfx was highest, at 6.12% (17/278). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of rifampicin resistance showed that compared with patients under 25 years of age, the risk of developing rifampicin resistance was lower in the groups aged 45 to under 65 and those aged 65 and above (OR=0.356, 95%CI: 0.181-0.700; OR=0.352, 95%CI: 0.170-0.729). Compared with migrant patients in other provinces, local patients from within the same county or district had a lower risk of developing rifampicin resistance (OR=0.599, 95%CI:0.383-0.962). Compared with patients who were smear-positive at the end of the second month of initial treatment, the risk of developing rifampicin resistance was higher in patients with relapse/return, failure of retreatment/chronic, and other categories of patients (OR=9.380, 95%CI:3.717-23.671;OR=25.749, 95%CI:8.037-82.490; OR=36.651, 95%CI:8.438-159.201). Conclusions The situation of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in Qingdao cannot be ignored. Individuals under 25 years old, migrants from other provinces, and patients with relapse/return, failure of retreatment/chronic, and other categories are significant risk factors for developing rifampicin resistance in the high-risk groups of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective:To observe any effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the cognition of stroke survivors and the integrity of their white matter fibers.Methods:Thirty persons with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) were randomly divided into an experimental group ( n=15) and a control group ( n=15). In addition to basic drug therapy and routine cognition training, the experimental group received 20 minutes of tDCS daily, 5 days per week for 3 weeks, while the control group received sham tDCS stimulation. Before and after the treatment, both groups′ cognitive functioning was evaluated using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA). Their ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) was quantified using the modified Barthel index (MBI). Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was employed to observe any changes in the integrity of their white matter fibers. Results:The average MMSE, MOCA and MBI scores of both groups had improved significantly after the treatment, but the improvement in the experimental group was significantly greater than among the controls. The average fractional anisotroposy value of the affected inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus in both groups was positively correlated with the group′s average MMSE score and MoCA score.Conclusion:tDCS can effectively improve the cognition and functioning in the activities of daily living of stroke survivors. Its mechanism may be related to improving the integrity of the white matter fibers involved.

BACKGROUND:With the application and development of 3D printing technology in medicine,orthopedic internal fixation surgery has become precise and individualized.The equal-scale fracture model obtained by 3D printing technology was simulated and planned before surgery,realizing the leap from traditional 2D images to more vivid and detailed three-dimensional objects.It allows the surgeon to understand the fracture type in advance and rehearse the reduction sequence,so as to realize the individualized implementation of fracture surgery,optimize the surgical process,bring better postoperative recovery and less surgical complications. OBJECTIVE:To compare clinical efficacy of three 3D printed models combined with computerized virtual repositioning technology to assist incision reduction bone plate internal fixation and traditional incision reduction bone plate internal fixation in the treatment of Robinson II B2 clavicle fracture. METHODS:Eighty patients with Robinson II B2 clavicle fracture were randomly divided into trial group(n=40)and control group(n=40).In the trial group,three kinds of 3D printing models(affected clavicle fracture model,computer simulation clavicle fracture reduction model,clavicle mirror model of healthy side)combined with computer virtual reduction technology were used for preoperative in vitro surgery rehearsal.Finally,3D printing was used for clavicle mirror model of healthy side to advance bending and select bone plates for internal fixation.In the control group,open reduction plate internal fixation was applied.The time from admission to surgery,intraoperative blood loss,operation time,frequency of fluoroscopy,number of bends of the bone plate,fracture healing time,complications,and visual analog scale score and Constant score before and after surgery were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The time from admission to operation in the trial group was greater than that in the control group(P<0.05).Operation time,intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency and bending times of the bone plate in the trial group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The trial group had faster fracture healing and fewer complications(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups(P>0.05).Constant score of the two groups had an increasing trend with time(F=613.50,P<0.001),but the difference between the groups was not statistically significant(F=0.08,P=0.78),and there was no interaction between the measurement times and the group assignment(F=0.27,P=0.66).The visual analog scale score decreased with time(F=1 149.55,P<0.001),but there was no significant difference between groups(F=0.02,P=0.88),and there was no interaction between the number of measurements and the group assignment(F=1.02,P=0.36).The results show that the use of 3D printed model combined with computer virtual reduction technology for preoperative rehearsal can shorten the operation time,reduce the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency and the times of bone plate bending,and have the advantages of faster fracture healing,fewer complications,and similar functional recovery to the traditional incision reduction bone plate internal fixation.
