Objective To analyze the case data of farmers' foodborne disease surveillance reports in Guizhou Province from 2022 to 2024, and to provide reference for the precise prevention and control of foodborne diseases among farmers in Guizhou Province. Methods Case data of foodborne disease surveillance reports of farmers were systematically collected from 2022 to 2024 in Guizhou Province. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the temporal, geographical, and demographic distribution of foodborne diseases among farmers, along with their primary clinical symptoms and pathogen detection results. Results From 2022 to 2024, a total of 22,882 cases of foodborne diseases were reported among farmers in Guizhou Province. The majority of clinical symptoms (97.81%) were related to the digestive system, with summer being the peak season. While females outnumbered males, the gender difference was statistically insignificant (P >0.05). The 36-55 age group accounted for the highest proportion (38.83%), with Zunyi City (34.89%) and Qiandongnan Prefecture (23.21%) reporting the most cases. Fungal products were the most frequently reported suspected food items (26.96%), and home-made preparation was the primary processing method (58.63%). A total of 1 210 fecal samples were collected through active monitoring with an overall detection rate of 13.22%. Norovirus showed the highest detection rate (9.92%, 120/1 210). Statistically significant differences were observed among different seasons, age groups, regions, types and processing methods of suspected food exposure, and pathogen detection rates (P <0.001). Conclusion Foodborne disease prevention and control among farmers in Guizhou Province should focus on the risks of wild mushroom poisoning in summer and homemade foods, and continuously improve farmers' awareness of the dangers of foodborne diseases and food safety.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids combined with cyclophosphamide (CTX) and rituximab (RTX) in elderly patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis with renal involvement. Elderly patients (age ≥60 years) with ANCA-associated vasculitis and renal involvement admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from December 2019 to November 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. Based on different induction treatment regimens, patients were divided into a control group (glucocorticoids + CTX) and a combination therapy group (glucocorticoids + CTX + RTX). Differences in disease remission, end stage renal disease (ESRD), mortality, relapse, and incidence of adverse events were compared between the two groups. A total of 60 elderly patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis and renal involvement were ultimately included, with a median follow-up of 29.7(17.2, 38.7) months. The control group comprised 26 patients, with a median follow-up of 35.0(28.1, 40.3) months; the combination therapy group comprised 34 patients, with a median follow-up of 26.2(16.1, 35.1) months. The remission rate at 3 months (64.7% For elderly patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis and renal involvement, the regimen of glucocorticoids combined with CTX and individualized RTX demonstrates potential advantages in early remission rate, glucocorticoid tapering, and control of cumulative CTX dose, without increasing the risk of serious adverse events. This regimen may represent an alternative treatment option for this patient population; however, its long-term efficacy and safety require further validation through prospective randomized controlled trials.

Subunit 5B of constitutively photomorphogenic 9 signalosome(CSN5B)is an inhibitory factor for the biosynthesis of vitamin C in the L-galactose synthesis pathway in plants.To create mutants with richer vitamin C in tomato fruits,a dual-target vector of pKSE402-SlCSN5Bwas constructed and trans-formed into the breeding parent of 1912.Based on the molecular biological assay and DNA sequencing,17 transgenic positive lines were determined,and 6 lines of them were genetically mutated at the target site of SlCSN5B,with an editing efficiency of 35.3%.Among the mutants,2 lines were homozygous mu-tants,csn5b-6 with 180 bp deletion and csn5b-8 with 3 bp deletion.The biological traits of two types of deficiency homozygotes without exogenous T-DNA insertion derived from the T1 generation were observed,and there were no significant differences in phenotypes of the plant and fruit.Through physiological tes-ting of red-ripe fruits from T,generation lines of csn5b-6,the GMPase activity and the vitamin C content significantly increased by 43%and 37.8%,respectively,the content of hydrogen peroxide significantly decreased by 25.9%,and the content of soluble solids did not obviously change,compared with the wild type.There were no significant differences in plant traits and physiological characteristics between T1 gen-eration lines of csn5b-8 and the wild type.Based on gene expression analysis and protein structure predic-tion,the results showed that the gene of SlCSN5B normally transcribed,and the loss of large peptide seg-ments of CSN5B encoded by SlCSN5B caused changes in its structure to affect functioning,which led to an increase of vitamin C content in the line of csn5b-6-1 1.The findings suggest that the vitamin C content of tomato fruit can be improved by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SlCSN5B gene editing,which provides the valuable resources for high-quality breeding in tomato.

Objective:To implement evidence-based practice for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation and evaluate the effectiveness of applying the best evidence for eye management in this setting.Methods:Through literature retrieval, screening, and evaluation, the best evidence for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation was summarized and compiled into evidence review indicators. From March to June 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 29 ICU prone position ventilation patients and 30 ICU nurses at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital for baseline review to identify obstacles in clinical practice of evidence and develop action strategies based on these obstacles. From July to October 2024, 29 ICU prone position ventilation patients and 29 ICU nurses were selected for evidence-based practice to compare the implementation rates of review indicators before and after evidence-based practice, ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice regarding eye management for prone position ventilation patients, as well as the intraocular pressure during prone position ventilation and the incidence of eye complications within the first week of ICU admission.Results:After evidence-based practice, the implementation rates of all 16 review indicators by ICU nurses were higher than those before evidence-based practice, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The total score, knowledge dimension score, and practice dimension score on the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire on Eye Management during Prone Position Ventilation for ICU nurses were higher than those before evidence-based practice, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). After evidence-based practice, the intraocular pressure of ICU patients in prone position ventilation for 8 hours and at the end improved, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The overall incidence of eye complications within one week of ICU admission decreased from 27.6% to 6.9%, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Implementing evidence-based practices for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation can effectively increase nurses' implementation rates of review indicators, enhance their knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding eye management, and reduce the incidence of eye complications in patients.
