An efficient technique for the determination of multiclass pesticide residues ( glyphosate, aminomethyl phosphonic acid ( AMPA) and glufosinate) in four kinds of tea ( green tea, black tea, Oolong tea and Puer tea) was developed based on ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Samples were extracted with 0. 05 mol/L NaOH solution, regulated pH value with HCl, followed by purification by Oasis HLB column, and then precolumn-derived with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate ( FMOC-CL ) in borate buffer. All pesticide residues studied showed good linearity with correlation coefficient ( R2 ) greater than 0. 99 in the concentration range of 5-1000 μg/L. Limits of quantitation (LOQs) of three pesticide compounds ranged from 0. 03 to 0. 08 mg/kg (S/N=10). Tea samples spiked with 0 . 1 , 0 . 4 and 4 mg/kg showed the recovery ranging from 72 . 1% to 109 . 9%, and RSDs from 0. 5% to 9. 8% (n=6). In addition, the validated method was applied to commercial samples, and all the detections were confirmed by acquiring transitions for each pesticide in samples.

Objective To understand the epidemiological distribution and epidemic situation of brucellosis cases in Zhejiang Province in 2003 - 2012. Methods Questionnaires of confirmed brucellosis cases, annual reports of prevention and control work of brucellosis in the cities and monitoring points were collected and analyzed in 2003 - 2012. Population distribution, regional distribution, infection sources and routes of infection, aetiology and clinical symptoms and signs of the brucellosis cases were analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 323 brucellosis cases were reported in 2003 - 2012, the average annual incidence rate was 0.070/one hundred thousand, the incidence rate in 2012(0.190/one hundred thousand) was high. There were 272 people of the 323 brucellosis cases were from occupational populations, accounting for 84.21%(272/323); people worked in buying, slaughtering and trafficking of livestock products were majority of the cases, accounting for 65.02%(210/323); and unoccupational population was accounting for 15.79%(51/323). Regional distribution of brucellosis was gradually spreading; the average incidence rate of Shaoxing City was the highest ( 0 . 226/one hundred thousand ) . Three hundred patients were infected by sheep, accounting for 92.88%(300/323), and only 7.12%(23/323) of the patients were infected by cattle. Two hundred and eighty-seven acute phase patients of brucellosis were checked by blood culture, and thirty-nine Brucella melitensis strains and two Brucella abortus strains were detected. The chronicity survey of 120 confirmed cases of brucellosis were conducted, chronicity rate was 3.33%(4/120). Conclusions Trends in the epidemic situation of brucellosis in Zhejiang Province has continued to spread. The main source of infection is sheep from the North. Occupational populations are major populations at risk. The key of prevention and control is to strengthen the active monitoring of occupation personnel , health education and behavior intervention.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of application of single and dual antiplatelet aggregation therapy in high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level in patients with angina pectoris. Methods Ninety-six hospitalized patients with angina 6~48 h (hs-CRP< 2 mg/L) were selected and randomly divided into single aspirin group (aspirin 100 mg/d, n=48) and aspirin plus clopidogrel combination therapy group (aspirin 100 mg/d and clopidogrel 75 mg/d, n=48). The efficacy was evaluated after 30-day treatment. Data of composite end points were analyzed by follow-up in patients within 6 months. Results The total effective rates were 85.42%for combination therapy group and 81.25%for single aspirin group. There was no significant difference in total effective rate between two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in events of composite end points in patients after treatment between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion For angina pectoris patients with hs-CRP<2 mg/L, the risk of cardiovascular events is relatively little. There is no obvious difference in curative effect between single and dual antiplatelet aggreration therapies.
