In this study, a neutral desorption-extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry ( ND-EESI-MS) method was developed for the direct and rapid detection of dichlorvos ( DDVP) in honey samples without any sample pretreatment procedure. Under the positive ionization mode, the main characteristic parent ion of DDVP was m/z 223 (MW:222) and daughter ions were m/z 109 and m/z127. Under the optimized working conditions, with the signal intensity of m/z 127 as quantitative index, the quantitative information of DDVP residues in honey was acquired effectively. The results showed that the linear range of DDVP for spiked honey was 5-1000 ng/mL (R2=0. 998) with the limit of detection (LOD) of 1. 0 ng/mL (n=3) and the recoveries for the DDVP spiked honey samples at the concentration levels of 10 , 30 and 400 ng/mL were 93 . 0%-103. 0%, with the relative standard deviations (RSDs, n=6) of less than 4. 4%. Meanwhile, for detection of spiked honey with gas chromatography-flame photometric detector ( GC-FPD ) , the linear range was 5-1000 ng/mL (R2=0. 999) with the LOD of 1. 6 ng/mL(n=3), and the recoveries of DDVP at the spiked honey concentration levels of 10 , 30 and 400 ng/mL were 94 . 9%-110 . 3%, with the RSDs of less than 7. 6%.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes of epidemiological characteristics of measles in Beijing before and after Supplementary Immunization Campaigns (SIA) (2007-2010 vs 2011-2014) of measles-containing vaccine (MCV) among children aged between 8 months and 14 years in 2010.

METHODSDescriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted on surveillance data of measles cases (clinical cases and laboratory confirmed cases), with the occurrence during 2007-2014, and of outbreaks, with the occurrence during 2009-2014, from National Notifiable Disease Reporting System. MapInfo geographic information system (Version 8.5) was used to illustrate the distribution of measles incidence by district. Annual measles incidence was classified into 5 groups at the same intervals between the upper and lower limits to analyze the morbidity of the different areas.

RESULTSIn total, 7 722 and 3 132 measles cases were reported during 2007-2010 and 2011-2014, with the annual incidence of 11.59 and 3.84 cases per 100 000 population, respectively. Comparing with the results during 2007-2010, total number of measles cases and average annual incidence during 2011-2014 were decreased by 59.4%, and 66.9%, respectively. Among measles cases during 2011-2014, percentage of cases aged 15 years or above were 57.7%(56/97), 62.0%(49/79), 65.5%(370/565), and 71.4% (1 707/2 391), respectively, which increased by years. During 2007-2010, the highest risk age for adults was 20-34, while 2011-2014, 5 years older: 25-39. During 2009-2010, 2011-2012, and 2013-2014, 50.3% (447/889), 30.3% (10/33), and 57.8% (201/348), respectively, of measles cases aged 8-17 months were unvaccinated by MCV. Percentages of measles cases aged 0-7 months, 8 months-14 years, 15-39 years and 40 years or above during 2013-2014, who visited hospitals 7-21 days before disease onset, were 59.8% (238/398), 49.3% (237/481), 32.2% (529/1641), and 37.6% (164/436), respectively. A total of 11 nosocomial measles outbreaks occurred during 2013-2014, which was much higher than that during 2009-2010 (2 nosocomial outbreaks). And universities accounted for the majority of outbreak settings of schools (3/4). All 11 outbreaks among grouped employees during 2009-2012 occurred in factories, restaurants, or large shopping centers, while the largest proportion (6/16) of that kind of outbreaks during 2013-2014 occurred in office buildings.

CONCLUSIONSSIA of MCV in 2010 effectively decreased measles transmission in Beijing. But routine immunization of MCV still needed to be improved. The issue of adult measles has been a prominent problem. Hospitals, office buildings and universities were the focus of prevention of measles transmission.

Objective:To analyze the impact of implementing regular supervision and communication based on employee needs in the management of head nurses on improving the nursing practice environment, for reference for improving the nursing proctice environment.Methods:In December 2020 and January 2022, convenience sampling method was used to select 5 nursing unit nurses from a hospital which implemented regular supervision and communication based on employee needs(January to December 2021) as the research subjects. The survey was conducted using the Gallup Q12 questionnaire(Q12 questionnaire), which included 12 items from 4 dimensions: basic needs, head nurse support, team cooperation, and self growth. At the same time, a focus group interview method was made to interviews 10 survey subjects regarding their regular supervision and communication experiences.Results:A total of 165 survey subjects were included in this study, including 77 before and 88 after the implementation.The average total score of the Q12 questionnaire increased from 53.75 points before implementation of supervision communication to 56.96 points after implementation, with a statistically significant difference( P<0.05). The scores of the four dimensions of basic needs, head nurse support, team collaboration, and self growth increased from 4.59 points, 4.41 points, 4.50 points, and 4.45 points before implementation to 4.84 points, 4.69 points, 4.75 points, and 4.75 points after implementation, with statistical significances( P<0.05). The interview results showed that supervisory communication can create a humanistic care atmosphere, enhance team cohesion, enhance self-efficacy, improve work efficiency, solve problems in a timely manner, and improve nursing quality. Conclusions:Implementing regular supervision and communication based on employee needs can strengthen the connection between the head nurse and nurses, and enhance nurses′ recognition of basic needs, head nurse support, teamwork, and self growth. It was conducive to creating a good nursing practice environment, meeting the emotional and growth needs of nurses, and improving their job satisfaction.

Objective:To study the prevalence and gene variation characteristics of human coronavirus (HCoV) in Beijing and provide molecular epidemiological basis for the prevention and control of HCoV infection.Methods:This study collected 287 samples and epidemiological data of HCoV positive cases collected by respiratory multi-pathogen surveillance in Beijing from 2016 to 2017, and analyzed the HCoV detection rate, population and seasonal characteristics. HCoV pol gene fragments were amplified by RT-PCR for HCoV typing and evolutionary analysis.Results:In this study, the detection rate of HCoV was 1.89%. The co-infection rate of respiratory virus in HCoV positive samples was 20.56% (59/287). 69 strains were identified as type OC43 with nucleotide homology of 97.2%~100% and amino acid homology of 92.2%~100%. Thirty-nine strains were identified as type 229E with nucleotide homology of 99.2%~100% and amino acid homology of 99.2%~100%. Ten strains were identified as type HKU1 and 2 strains were identified as type NL63.Conclusions:OC43 and 229E are still the main types of HCoV in Beijing from 2016 to 2017, and both present certain seasonal difference. The endemic strains of the same type have high homology of nucleotide and amino acid.

Objective:To analyze the molecular epidemiological characteristics of measles virus (MV) in Beijing from 2015 to 2019, and to provide laboratory basis for measles elimination.Methods:Measles virus-positive throat swab samples were collected through the Beijing Measles Laboratory network from 2015 to 2019. After the viral nucleic acid was extracted, 450 nucleotide fragments of the C terminal of the N gene of MV were amplified by RT-PCR. Nucleotide sequencing was performed for the amplified products. The phylogenetic tree was constructed with the representative strains of WHO measles virus genotype D8 genotype reference strains in China and other countries. Genotype identification was conducted and the nucleotide and amino acid homology analysis was carried out. A descriptive analysis of measles cases with D8 and B3 genotypes was conducted.Results:From 2015 to 2019, the genotypes of 546 MV were identified in the city, including 531 of H1a genotype, five vaccine strains, one of B3 genotype, and nine of D8 genotype, among which eight were epidemic strains in 2019. The homology of indigenous H1a genotype MV nucleotide and amino acid was 91.5%-100.0% and 73.6%-100.0%.In 2019, all eight cases of D8 genotype measles were adults, with two being an outbreak and the remaining six sporadic cases.Conclusions:The imported D8 genotype had become the main MV genotype in Beijing in 2019. With the decrease of measles incidence in 2019, native genotype H1a was no longer dominant, while other different genotypes were imported, forming a mixed epidemic trend. It was suggested that in the elimination of measles in Beijing, efforts should be made not only to block the transmission of local measles virus, but also to prevent and control the import and continuous transmission of non-local genotype virus, so as to avoid the risk of establishing local transmission by gradually evolving into a dominant strain.
