Objective:To understand the levels of selenium and T-2 toxin in the historical critical disease area of Kashin-Beck disease in Aba State of Sichuan Province.Methods:From July 2018 to February 2019, in five cities (counties) of historical critical Kashin-Beck disease areas, namely, Ma'erkang, Rangtang, Aba, Ruo'ergai and Hongyuan, one township was selected, respectively, and then one village in the historical critical disease area and one village in non-disease area were selected from the selected townships. Hair samples from 30 children aged 6 to 12 years old were collected to test selenium content in each village. Staple food samples of 10 households were collected to test the selenium and T-2 toxin contents in each village. Ten soil samples were collected from each village to test the selenium content.Results:The medians selenium of children's hair in the diseased and non-diseased villages ( n= 180, 120) were 0.260 0 and 0.330 0 mg/kg, respectively, and the diseased village was lower than non-diseased village ( Z = - 6.319, P < 0.01). In Ma'erkang and Hongyuan, the medians selenium in the diseased villages were lower than those in non-diseased villages ( Z = - 3.327, - 4.939, P < 0.01), and there were no statistically significant differences between the diseased villages and non-diseased villages in Rangtang and Ruo'ergai ( P > 0.05). The medians selenium of staple food in the diseased and non-diseased villages ( n = 110, 70) were 0.005 8 and 0.018 0 mg/kg, respectively, and the diseased village was lower than non-diseased village ( Z = - 2.263, P < 0.05). In Ruo'ergai, the median selenium in the diseased village was lower than that in non-diseased village ( Z = - 2.306, P < 0.05), and there were no statistically significant differences between the diseased villages and non-diseased villages in Ma'erkang, Rangtang and Hongyuan ( P > 0.05). The T-2 toxin contents in staple food were all less than detection limit (1 μg/kg) in the diseased and non-diseased villages ( n = 103, 65). The soil selenium contents in the diseased and non-diseased villages ( n = 60, 40) were (0.045 3 ± 0.021 5) and (0.065 8 ± 0.045 4) mg/kg, respectively, and the diseased village was lower than non-diseased village ( t = 2.672, P < 0.05). The soil selenium content in the diseased village was lower than that in non-diseased village in Hongyuan ( t = 14.838, P < 0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in the soil selenium content between the diseased villages and non-diseased villages in Ma'erkang, Rangtang and Ruo'ergai ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The overall selenium level of children's hair is at a medium level (0.25 - < 0.50 mg/kg) in the historical critical disease area of Aba State of Sichuan Province, the selenium levels of staple food and soil are at a deficiency level (< 0.025, < 0.125 mg/kg), and the diseased villages are lower than non-diseased villages. No T-2 toxin is detected in staple food.
