Objective:
To analyze the serotypes and drug resistance of Salmonella isolated from food-borne disease surveillance samples in Longwan District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of Salmonella infection.
Methods:
Salmonella strains isolated from feces or anal swabs of patients with foodborne diarrhea in Longwan District People's Hospital from 2018 to 2024 were collected. After re-identification, slide agglutination test was used to identify serotypes. The drug susceptibility test of live Salmonella strains was performed using the broth microdilution method, and the resistance patterns were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 2 293 samples were collected, and 186 strains of Salmonella were isolated, with a detection rate of 8.11%. The detection rate was higher from May to October. A total of 28 Salmonella serotypes were identified, with S. typhimurium (72 isolates, 38.71%), S. enteritidis (31 isolates, 16.67%), and S. London (30 isolates, 16.13%) being dominant. Among the 121 Salmonella live strains, 20 strains were susceptible to 14 antibacterial drugs. A total of 101 strains were resistant to antibacterial drugs, and the drug resistance rate was 1.65%-67.77%, with the drug resistance rate of ampicillin being the highest, and the drug resistance rate of imipenem was the lowest. S. typhimurium had the highest resistance rate to tetracycline (78.26%). S. enteritidis had the highest resistance rate to ampicillin (100.00%). S. London had the highest resistance rate to tetracycline (66.67%). Fifty-five types of drug resistance patterns were detected, showing a number of drug resistance of 1-10, of which 76 strains were multi-drug resistant, accounting for 75.25%. The predominant multidrug resistance patterns were ampicillin/sulbactam-cefazolin-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (10.53%), tetracycline-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (9.21%), and ampicillin/sulbactam-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (7.89%).
Conclusions
Salmonella strains isolated from foodborne diseases in Longwan District were mainly detected in summer and autumn. S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis, and S. London were the predominant serotypes. The drug resistance of Salmonella to different antibacterial drugs was different, and the drug resistance spectrum showed diversity.

Objective:
To investigate the mechanism of resveratrol promoting fibronectin type Ⅲ domain-containing 5 (FNDC5) degradation in skeletal muscle of male obese mice.
Methods:
Six-week-old male C57BL /6 mice were randomly divided into three groups : standard control diet ( SCD) ,high-fat diet ( HFD) and high-fat diet treated with resveratrol (HFD + RES) .HFD + RES group was intervened with resveratrol via gavage [400 mg / kg · d) ] while fed HFD for 20 weeks.The body mass,serum TG,TC,LDL-C and HDL-C levels were detected.The pathological changes in skeletal muscle were detected by HE staining.The expression of FNDC5,SIRT1,SIRT2,LC3, p62,Beclin-1,ATG5,ATG7 was assessed by immunohistochemistry,RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.
Results:
The body mass ,serum TG ,TC and LDL-C levels increased significantly ,meanwhile HDL-C levels decreased in HFD group.Lipid deposition between skeletal muscle fibers were obvious in HFD group.The immuno- histochemistry results showed that protein expression levels of SIRT1,SIRT2 and LC3 obviously decreased,while the protein levels of FNDC5 and p62 obviously increased.The expression levels of FNDC5 significantly increased, while the gene expression levels of SIRT1,SIRT2,LC3,Atg7 and Beclin-1 obviously decreased.All these responses were attenuated by treatment with RES.
Conclusion
RES has obvious effects of lipid-lowering and promoting FNDC5 degradation in skeletal muscle tissues,which may be related with SIRT1 and SIRT2-induced autophagy, thus resulting in degradation of FNDC5 .

Objective:
To explore the clinical and molecular genetic features of a Chinese patient with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT).
Methods:
Clinical data including resting electrocardiography, echocardiography and treadmill exercise testing of a patient with CPVT admitted to our department in March 2013 were analyzed, and the peripheral venous blood samples of the patient and his family members and 400 ethnicity-matched healthy controls were obtained. All exons and exon-intron boundaries of the six CPVT-related genes including RYR2, CASQ2, TRDN, CALM1, KCNJ2 and ANKB were sequenced to detect the variants related to CPVT. The relationship between the genotypes and phenotypes was analyzed to direct the target therapy.
Results:
Recurrent syncope induced either by exercise or extreme frightened fear was observed in this patient. There was no positive family history of syncope or sudden death. The resting electrocardiography and echocardiography of the patient were normal, while the exercise testing revealed bidirectional and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. A cardiac ryanodine receptor gene mutation (R2401H) was identified in this patient, while this mutation was absent in his parents and sister and 400 controls. No variant was detected in the remaining five candidate genes. Treatment with high dose of metoprolol succinate (118.75 mg/d) was effective and patient was free of syncopal attack during the 2 years follow-up.
Conclusion
This is the first report on RyR2-R2401H mutation in Chinese patient with CPVT, and high dose of metoptolol is the effective therapy option for CPVT related to RyR2 mutation.
