Objective To study the effect of climate change on physiological indexes of elderly people.Methods From January,2006 to January,2007,30 elderly couples were selected and blood pressure,pulse,body weight were investigated.The weather data was collected.Results The lowest value of body weight appeared in February in normotensive subjects,in September in hypertension subjects.The lowest value of body temperature in two groups appeared in February and March.The lowest value of pulse appeared in March and April in normotensive subjects,in September in hypertension subjects.The curve of blood pressure change(SBP and DBP) presented"V"in two groups.The lowest value appeared in summer(July-September).The highest value appeared in winter(December-February).The blood pressure in winter was higher than that in summer(P

Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) was coupled with fluorescent microspheres lateral flow assay (FM-LFA) for rapid detection of S.choleraesuis in this study.The target bacteria were firstly enriched from sample by immunomagnetic beads (IMBs),then eluted by heat treatment and detected by fluorescent microspheres lateral flow test strip.The IMBs was labeled with 30 μg/mg antibody,and the capture efficiency was greater than 90% against 102-106 CFU/mL of S.choleraesuis with great specificity.The immunofluorescent microspheres were prepared by coupling 300 μg of 11 D8-D4 monoclonal antibody with 1 mg of fluorescent microspheres at pH 6.Monoclonal antibody 5F11-B11 (2.0 mg/mL) and donkey anti-mouse IgG (1.0 mg/mL) were sprayed on nitrocellulose membrane as test line and control line,respectively.The FM-LFA based on IMS was used to detect S.choleraesuis in PBS and milk.The limits of detection in PBS buffer and milk were 1.5×105 CFU/mL and 7.6×105 CFU/mL respectively,which were 10 and 200 times lower than that of traditional fluorescent microspheres lateral flow assay,respectively.The results showed that the method,which could enrich S.choleraesuis in milk effectively,could avoid matrix interference and improve the detection sensitivity,thus had a good application prospect.

Objective To analyze the correlation between intestinal flora changes and neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)through 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing and bacterial culture. Methods From September 2018 to March 2019, 10 NEC cases and 6 controls were randomly selected in the neonatal ICU ward of Nanjing maternal and child health care hospital to analyze the 16S rRNA metagenomic diversity of the for intestinal flora. The fecal samples and corresponding environmental samples were corrected from 51 cases of NEC children and their case controls to isolate and culture Clostridium. Results The dispersion of samples within the case group was smaller than that of the control group, and the sample diversity was higher than that of the control group. In the isolation and culture of Clostridium, the overall detection rate of Clostridium in the case group was 43.14% (22/51), and the detection rate of Clostridium butyricum was the highest (19.61%, 10/51). There was a statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=5.85, P=0.015 58). All Clostridium strains did not carry the A, B and E type neurotoxin genes. Conclusion: Increased intestinal flora diversity, intestinal flora abundance and changes in the abundance of Clostridium may be closely related to the intestinal environment of children with NEC; Clostridium, especially Clostridium butyricum, may be related to the occurrence of NEC.

Foodborne disease is one of the most important public health issues worldwide. China faces various and unprecedented challenges in all aspects of the food chain. Data from laboratory-based foodborne disease surveillance systems from 2013 to 2016, as well as different regions and ages, can be found along with differences in the patterns of pathogens detected with diverse characteristics. Vibrio parahaemolyticus has been the leading cause of infectious diarrhea in China, especially among adults in coastal regions. Salmonella has been a serious and widely distributed pathogen responsible for substantial socioeconomic burden. Shigella was mostly identified in Northwest China and the inland province (Henan) with less-developed regions among children under 5 years. Data from foodborne disease outbreak reporting system from 2011 to 2016 showed that poisonous animals and plant factors responsible for most deaths were poisonous mushrooms (54.7%) in remote districts in southwest regions. The biological hazard that caused most cases reported (42.3%) was attributed to V. parahaemolyticus, the leading cause of foodborne outbreaks. In this review, we summarize the recent monitoring approach to foodborne diseases in China and compare the results with those in developed countries.
