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 explore the characteristics of gross motor development in 1~6-year-old children with cerebral palsy at different levels. Methods 708 children (487 males and 221 females, age range: 1~6 years, from 6 rehabilitation centers in Shanghai) with cerebral palsy (CP) were assessed with Chinese version of Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). Distributions of GMFM scores at different GMFCS levels in children with cerebral palsy were analyzed. Results The GMFM-66 scores increased most in children with GMFCS Level Ⅰ, and more than 75% of them would be greater than 67 points in GMFM-66 score after the age of 48~50 months. The children with GMFCS Level Ⅱ~Ⅳ appeared similar increasing range of GMFM-66 scores in 1~6 years old. Less than 25% of the children at GMFCS Level Ⅱ would be greater than 67 points in GMFM-66 score before the age of 6 years, more than 50% of those at GMFCS Level Ⅲ would be less than 56 points, more than 75% of those at GMFCS Level Ⅳ couldn't exceed 46 points (except groups of 54~56 months and 66~68 months). Compared with the children with other GMFCS levels, the GMFM-66 scores were always at very low level in children with GMFCS Level V, and trended to decrease with time after 5 years old. Conclusion The characteristics of gross motor development are different in children with cerebral palsy at different GMFCS levels.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in non-occupational population reported in Hangzhou, and provide basis for diagnosis and further prevention and control of brucellosis in non-occupational population.Methods:The basic information, epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics and laboratory test data of brucellosis patients reported in Hangzhou from 2008 to 2019 were collected retrospectively. The data were obtained from the case questionnaire of confirmed brucellosis and annual report of brucellosis prevention and control work of Hangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention over the years. The epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics and diagnosis of brucellosis in non-occupational population were analyzed.Results:From 2008 to 2019, 76 cases of brucellosis in non-occupational population were reported in Hangzhou, accounting for 34.23% (76/222) of the total reported brucellosis cases. In the 76 cases of brucellosis in non-occupational population, there were 47 males and 29 females, the ratio of male to female was 1.62∶1.00; the age was (47.37 ± 16.04) years old, ranging from 6 to 84 years old. The peak incidence of brucellosis in non-occupational population was from March to May, accounting for 59.21% (45/76); the main routes of infection were direct contact and digestive tract, accounting for 80.26% (61/76). The main clinical symptoms were fever (100.00%, 76/76), hyperhidrosis (73.68%, 56/76) and muscle and joint pain (69.74%, 53/76); the diagnosis time was 27 (14, 49) d, and the longest diagnosis time was 190 d. Among them, 39 cases were misdiagnosed, accounting for 51.32% (39/76). Sixty suspected Brucella strains were identified by routine culture of automatic blood culture apparatus in hospital laboratory, and 54 strains of Brucella melitensis were identified by typing, with a coincidence rate of 90.00%. The blood culture rate of patients from 2015 to 2019 (88.46%, 46/52) was significantly higher than that from 2008 to 2014 (58.33%, 14/24), the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=8.968, P < 0.05). Conclusions:From 2008 to 2019, the onset of brucellosis in non-occupational population is seasonal in Hangzhou, the infection mode is diverse, the clinical symptoms are not typical, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed. Blood culture for suspected brucellosis patients in high incidence season is conducive to the early diagnosis of brucellosis.
