Objective To summarize our experience on the food safety for residents and disaster relief workers in Li county after Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan province.Methods A comprehensive survey was conducted to assess the current food hygiene status.According to the survey results,we had integrated the local forces and strengthened the food hygiene surveillance and quality detection focusing on the crucial procedures.Besides,effective health educations were applied to advocate the rational dietary after earthquake.Results There was no any food safety incident in the county,and the hygiene awareness of local residents has been improved.Conclusion Powerful organization,focused management and multi-collaboration are the important elements to accomplish the food safety control after earthquake.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the new treatment regimen versus the standardized scheme for the initial treatment of smear-positive tuberculosis in the elderly.Methods A total of 302 elderly patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from 14 tuberculosis-designated medical institutions in Beijing.The patients received the initial treatment of smear-positive tuberculosis from January 2014 to August 2016 in the combined prospective and retrospective study.All patients were divided into observation group(n=63)receiving treatment with 6L2 HELfx regimen from August 1,2015 to August 31,2016,and control group (n =239) receiving treatment with 6L2HELfx regimen from January 1,2014 to January 31,2015.The nation-unified standard chemotherapy regimen 2RHZE/4RH was used in tuberculosis medical service institutions for all patients.The differences between the two groups were analyzed and compared in the completion of treatment,negative conversion of sputum culture or smear,adverse drug reactions and treatment outcome.Results The completion rate of long-course therapy was significantly higher in the observation group than in control group [90.5% (57/63) vs.79.5% (190/239),x2 =4.034,P =0.045].The rate of negative conversion of sputum culture or smear at the end of the 2nd month was higher in the observation group than in control group,but had no significant difference[87.0% (47/54)vs.81.6%(155/190),x2 =0.879,P=0.349].The incidence of adverse reactions was much lower in observation group than in control group[46.0% (29/63) vs.65.3% (156/239),x2 =7.777,P =0.005].The success rate of treatment(cure or completion of long-course therapy)was higher in observation group than in control group [90.5% (57/63) vs.77.4% (185/239),x2 =5.350,P =0.021].ConclusioNS As compared with the standard chemotherapy regimen,the L and Lfxcontaining treatment regimen has better effects,higher success rate of treatment and less adverse reactions in elderly patients with the initial treatment of smear-positive tuberculosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of serum CXC chemokine ligand 1(CXCL1)and phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten(PTEN)mRNA in patients with acute cerebral infarction and the severity and prognosis of the disease.Methods A total of 102 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to the hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled in the study as the experimental group,and 85 healthy people who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were enrolled as the control group.Serum samples of fasting venous blood were collected from people enrolled in the study.The serum CXCL1 level was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent as-say.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to detect the relative expression level of serum PTEN mRNA(hereinafter referred to as the level).According to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,the patients in the experimental group were divided into three groups with different de-grees of neurological impairment(severe group,moderate group and mild group),and the serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA levels of the three groups were compared.According to the cerebral infarction volume evaluated by computed tomography(CT)or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),the patients in the experimental group were divided into small infarction group,medium infarction group and large infarction group,and the serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA levels of the three groups were compared.According to the modified Rankin scale(mRS),the patients in the experimental group were divided into the good prognosis group and the poor prog-nosis group,and the serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA levels were compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affect-ing the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction.Results The proportion of patients with a history of diabetes and hypertension and serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA levels in the experimental group were high-er than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).With the in-crease of the degree of neurological impairment,the serum CXCL1 level and PTEN mRNA level increased,and there were significant differences among the severe group,moderate group,and mild group(P<0.05).With the increase of infarction size,the serum levels of CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA increased,and there were signifi-cant differences among small infarction group,medium infarction group,and large infarction group(P<0.05).Compared with the good prognosis group,the poor prognosis group had significantly higher proportions of patients with a history of diabetes,a history of hypertension,and serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA levels(P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between serum CXCL1 level and PTEN mRNA level in patients with acute cerebral infarction(r=0.479,P<0.001).The levels of serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA,history of diabetes and hypertension were all influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral in-farction(P<0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum CXCL1 and PTEN mRNA in patients with acute cere-bral infarction increase,which can be used to evaluate the disease severity and prognosis of patients.
