Objective:
To investigation and analyze the causes and characteristics of a food poisoning incident caused by Clostridium perfringens in schools, so as to provide a reference for prevention and control of food poisoning incidents.
Methods:
From March 11 to 12,2024,on site epidemiological and hygienic investigations were conducted by using food poisoning case questionnaires and on site hygienic investigation forms in Shenzhen. Information related to the poisoning incident was collected through field investigations and telephone interviews. A case control study was used to analyze the suspected food responsible for the incident. Risk analysis in χ 2 analysis was used to obtain OR values.
Results:
The Clostridium perfringens food poisoning incident involved two schools, with a cumulative total of 52 cases. School A had an attack rate of 2.21%(45/2 040), school B had an attack rate of 1.29% (7/544). The main clinical symptoms were diarrhea (100.00%) and abdominal pain (84.62%), with a minority experiencing fever ( 3.85 %). Analysis via the case control study indicated that consuming mushroom and meat sauce during lunch on March 11, 2024, was a risk factor for the poisoning incident ( OR =124.50, 95% CI =14.53-937.51, P <0.05). On site investigation revealed that the mushroom and meat sauce provided by the schools on March 11 was prepared by the catering company the previous day, stored without refrigeration, and not reheated before serving the next day. A total of 31 patient anal swabs, 16 food samples, and 14 kitchen staff anal swabs were sent for laboratory testing. Clostridium perfringens was isolated from 22 case samples. Among these, type A Clostridium perfringens (alpha toxin) was detected in 8 case samples, 4 kitchen staff anal swabs, and 2 retained samples of the mushroom and meat sauce.
Conclusions
The incident is a food poisoning outbreak caused by Clostridium perfringens contamination in schools. Avoiding cross contamination and ensuring proper storage are key to preventing Clostridium perfringens food poisoning.

Objective:
To investigate the impact of preschool children s aquatic motor skill (AMS) acquisition on their fundamental motor skill (FMS) development and the correlation between AMS and FMS development, so ao to provide a scientific basis for early childhood education and physical education teaching.
Methods:
From April to June 2024, 60 children, recruited by random sampling from a kindergarten in Taiyuan, were stratified randomly divided into an experimental group ( n =30) and a control group ( n =30). The experimental group were further divided into five classes of six each. They received AMS practice interventions twice weekly, 40 minutes per session, over eight weeks (16 sessions total) at a designated swimming center. The control group maintained their usual routine. Children s FMS and AMS were assessed pre and post intervention using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3rd (TGMD3) and Actual Aquatic Skills Test (AAST), respectively. Before and after test comparisons within and between groups employed t-tests, Wilcoxon signedrank tests, ANCOVA (including ranktransformed ANCOVA), and Cohen s d effect sizes were calculated for standardized mean differences. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze relationships between FMS and AMS.
Results:
After the aquatic learning, the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on locomotor skills ( F=20.47, P <0.01, η 2=0.26), FMS ( F=4.59, P =0.04, η 2=0.08), and AMS ( F=109.71, P<0.01, η 2=0.79). The experimental groups improvement in locomotor skills 5.0(3.8, 7.3) versus the control group (2.8±2.5) yielded a medium effect size (Cohen s d =0.71); AMS gains in the experimental group [26.0(20.8, 28.0)] versus controls [1.0(0, 2.3)] showed a very large effect size (Cohen s d =4.73) (both P <0.01). Among preschool children, AMS acquisition was positively correlated with locomotor skills ( r =0.39) and overall FMS ( r =0.43)(both P <0.05). Skill specific assessments revealed lower proficiency in headfirst entry (immersion), treading water, and sagittalplane rotation.
Conclusion
Preschool children s acquisition of AMS has a positive effect on their FMS, with mutual facilitation between the two, especially in locomotor abilities.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising class of targeted cancer therapeutics that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. Despite their therapeutic potential, the use of ADCs faces significant challenges, including off/on-target toxicity and resistance development. This review examines the current landscape of ADC development, focusing on the critical aspects of target selection and antibody engineering. We discuss strategies to increase ADC efficacy and safety, including multitarget approaches, pH-dependent antibodies, and masked peptide technologies. The importance of comprehensive antigen expression profiling in both tumor and normal tissues is emphasized, highlighting the role of advanced technologies, such as single-cell sequencing and artificial intelligence, in optimizing target selection. Furthermore, we explore combination therapies and innovations in linker‒payload chemistry, which may provide approaches for expanding the therapeutic window of ADCs. These advances pave the way for the development of more precise and effective cancer treatments, potentially extending ADC applications beyond oncology.
