Objective To investigate the situation of iodized salt practicing measures, the nutritional status of iodine and the trend of iodine deficiency disorders in Futian District of Shenzhen City, and to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures. Methods Every year from 2011 to 2015 in Futian District, five sub-districts were selected according to their position of the east, the west, the south, the north and the center, one school was selected in each sub-district, then sixty students were selected from each school to detect iodine content of their household salt samples;over twenty children (half males and half females) aged 8-10 of those sixty students were selected randomly to measure their thyroid volumes and detect their urinary iodine content;one or two drinking water samples were collected in each sub-district to test iodine content. Thyroid volume was examined by ultrasound method; the salt iodine was tested by the method of direct titration; iodine content in urine and drinking water samples was tested by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. Results Between 2011 and 2015, totally one thousand four hundred and eighty-eight edible salt samples were tested. The iodized salt coverage rate, the qualification rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 96.1%(1 430/1 488), 99.2%(1 419/1 430), and 95.4%(1 419/1 488), respectively . Four hundred and sixty-one children aged 8-10 were examined;nine children were diagnosed goiter, and the goiter rate was 1.95%. A total of 661 children urine samples were collected. The median urinary iodine was 229.5 μg/L; urinary iodine in 100 - 199 μg/L accounted for 29.8%(197/661), and in 200 - 299 μg/L accounted for 31.0%(205/661). Forty-eight drinking water samples were tested, the iodine content of the drinking water was 10.3 - 22.1 μg/L, and the median water iodine was 16.8 μg/L. Conclusions The iodine deficiency disorders surveillance indicators in Futian District of Shenzhen City all meet the national standards for elimination of the disease. Yet, the level of iodine nutrition needs to be further observed, and both the iodized salt market supervision and the health education should be strengthened.

Abstract: Objective In order to provide reference for emergency treatment of a sudden food poisoning incident, pathogen detection and drug resistance analysis were carried out. Methods Diarrheal stool and surplus food samples were detected by GB 4789 and the isolates were identified by VITEK2 and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), at the same time, the bacterial drug sensitivity test was carried out by using the method of microbroth dilution, and the isolates from different sources were molecularly classified by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and the correlation between the strains was analyzed by BioNumerics software. Results Totaly 13 leftovers and 3 diarrhea patients were isolated and identified, The total number of colonies and coliforms in 7 leftovers samples all exceeded the standard, and Citrobacter freundii was detected in 5 leftovers and 2 stools. The results of drug sensitivity test showed that seven strains of Citrobacter freundii were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, amikacin, cefotaxime and meropenem, but completely resistant to ampicillin, and there was no multiple drug resistance. The results of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that 7 strains of Citrobacter freundii had the same PFGE bands and 100% homology, showing the same clone. Conclusions This food poisoning incident was caused by Citrobacter freundii. The pathogen of food poisoning can be quickly and accurately determined by MALDI-TOF MS, which is beneficial to the early diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. It is suggested to strengthen the corresponding management, improve food safety awareness and prevent similar incidents.

The contents of schisandrin, schizandrin A, B and C were determined by HPLC, and the effects of the climate factors and altitude on lignin contents were analyzed in order to select the optimal cultivation area of S. chinensis. The lignin contents were analyzed by HPLC using a ZORBAX SB-C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm). The column temperature and detection wave length were set at 35 degrees C and 254 nm, respectively. Methanol-water was used as the mobile phase in gradient elution mode and the flow-rate was 1.0 mL min(-1). The method had a good repeatability, stability and accuracy. The correlation of climate factors and lignins contents was analyzed by SPSS software. The results showed that the schizandrin A content in S. chinensis fruits were higher than 0.4% in Ji'an, Liuhe, Antu and Fusong in Jilin province, which met the quality requirement. It had significant linear negative correlation relationship between schisandrin, schizandrin A, B and altitude, the contents decreased with the increase of altitude. The significant negative linear fitting coefficient was 0.844 1 between schisandrin and altitude; but it had not significant correlation between schizandrin C and altitude. A significant positive correlation of climate factors and the contents of S. chinensis lignins were mainly the temperature factors (the average annual temperature, the highest temperature in July, the average temperature in July, the highest temperature in January, the average temperature in January) and precipitation factor (average annual precipitation), which reveals that higher temperature and precipitation were helpful to the formation and accumulation of lignins of S. chinensis. So the cultivation area of S. chinensis should be in the low elevations region with warm and rainy climate.
