Objective:To investigate the dietary iodine intake levels of residents and the dietary iodine contribution rates in Hainan Province.Methods:Using cluster random sampling method, common foods sold in 21 counties (cities, districts) markets in Hainan Province in 2023 were collected to determine iodine content. Each county (city, district) was divided into five sampling areas by east, west, south, north, and center, with one township (street) selected from each area, and 20 permanent residents over 18 years old (non same household, half male and half female) and 20 pregnant women were selected from each township (street). The "Iodine-Specific Food Frequency Questionnaire (I-FFQ)" was used to investigate the daily dietary intake of adults and pregnant woman. The average daily salt intake of the survey subjects was measured by the 3-day weighing method, and the dietary iodine intake and the dietary iodine contribution rates were calculated.Results:A total of 632 food samples were collected, and the iodine content of seaweed was relatively high (4 424.76 μg/100 g); the iodine content of seasoning was relatively low (2.41 μg/100 g). A total of 4 227 individuals in Hainan Province were surveyed for dietary iodine intake. The median dietary iodine intake level of residents was 211.6 μg/d, with the medians dietary iodine intake level of adults and pregnant women being 204.5 and 218.4 μg/d ( n = 2 120, 2 107), respectively. There was a statistically significant differences between different populations ( Z = - 8.64, P < 0.001). The medians dietary iodine intake level in the western coastal areas, central mountainous regions, and eastern coastal areas were 210.0, 207.3 and 211.6 μg/d ( n = 1 205, 1 203, 1 819), respectively, with statistically significant differences between different regions ( H = 15.33, P < 0.001). The contribution rate of dietary iodine from iodized salt was the most (59.4%), followed by kelp (8.1%). Conclusions:Under the condition of consuming iodized salt, the dietary iodine intake of adults in Hainan Province meets the recommended dietary iodine intake ( > 120 μg/d), but the dietary iodine intake of pregnant women is insufficient ( < 230 μg/d). Iodized salt is the main source of dietary iodine for residents in Hainan Province.

Objective:To explore the effect of getting out of bed activity 6 hours after silicone breast augmentation surgery on the comfort of patients.Methods:From May 2019 to August 2020, 84 female patients aged 20-37 (28.34±6.27) years who underwent silicone breast augmentation surgery at the Department of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology at the Second People′s Hospital of Guangdong Province were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 42 patients in each group, using a random number table method. The control group got out of bed 24 hours after surgery, while the observation group got out of bed 6 hours after surgery. The chest drainage and fixation patency, comfort, silicone prosthesis displacement, and incision bleeding rate between the two groups of patients were compared 24 hours after surgery.Results:The extraction time of the thoracic drainage tube in the observation group was (82.64±11.78 hours), which was shorter than that in the control group (90.67±12.44 hours), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.369, P<0.01). The comfort scores of the observation group patients at 6 hours after surgery (95.07±4.14) and 24 hours after surgery (97.52±4.07) were higher than those of the control group at 6 hours (91.14±4.03) and 24 hours (94.19±3.93), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.413, 3.832, both P<0.01); 7 days after surgery, there were 2 cases of silicone prosthesis displacement in the observation group, with an incidence rate of 4.76% (2/42); there were 2 cases of silicone prosthesis displacement in the control group, with an incidence rate of 4.76% (2/42); there were 6 cases of incision bleeding, with an incidence rate of 14.29% (6/42); there were 5 cases of incision bleeding in the control group, with an incidence rate of 11.90% (5/42). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of silicone implant displacement and incision bleeding between the two groups (χ 2=0.21, 0.10, P>0.05). Conclusions:Getting out of bed and moving around 6 hours after silicone breast augmentation surgery can help improve the patient′s physical comfort, ensure smooth fixation of the chest drainage tube, and do not increase the occurrence of incision bleeding in patients.

Objective:
To retrospectively analyze the epidemic characteristics and spatial distribution of vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks in schools and kindergartens in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019, so as to provide the scientific evidence for optimizing prevention and control of vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks in schools and kindergartens.
Methods:
Data collection and analysis were carried out on the vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks reported to Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2015 to 2019. Epidemiological characteristics were analyzed and compared. The proportion and incidence of outbreaks in schools and kindergartens were calculated, and the influencing factors of outbreaks were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. The index of Moran s I was used for the global and local spatial auto correlation analysis.
Results:
Among the 344 vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks, 98.26% occurred in kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and other educational institutions. The median number of cases per outbreak was 15. The number of suspected outbreaks and the percentage of cases involved peaked in 2015 ( 60.00% , 84.35%) and then decreased year by year to 16.00% and 38.80% in 2019. About 86.98% of the outbreaks were transmitted by human to human contact. Among the 329 outbreaks with samples collected from cases and/or environments, the main pathogen detected was norovirus ( n =280), and sapovirus was detected in outbreak for the first time in 2016. The outbreaks showed obvious seasonality, with two peaks (November, March) and one trough (July), and the majority of outbreaks occurred in primary schools (44.38%) and kindergartens (32.84%). Compared with kindergartens, the probabilities of suspected epidemic outbreaks in primary schools, combined schools, middle schools and other educational institutions were higher (adjusted OR =6.40, 9.16, 12.64 , 5.58, P <0.01). The proportion and incidence of outbreaks in educational institutions in different districts showed no high-high aggregation areas.
Conclusions
Primary schools and kindergartens are key places for the prevention and control of vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks. Targeted prevention and control measures should be strengthened at the beginning of each semester and before the peak of the epidemic each year. Timely reporting of symptoms, suspension of school admissions after symptoms appear and standardized disposal of vomit are effective measures to reduce interpersonal transmission and control the scale of an outbreak.

The α-amino acid ester acyltransferase (SAET) from Sphingobacterium siyangensis is one of the enzymes with the highest catalytic ability for the biosynthesis of l-alanyl-l-glutamine (Ala-Gln) with unprotected l-alanine methylester and l-glutamine. To improve the catalytic performance of SAET, a one-step method was used to rapidly prepare the immobilized cells (SAET@ZIF-8) in the aqueous system. The engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) expressing SAET was encapsulated into the imidazole framework structure of metal organic zeolite (ZIF-8). Subsequently, the obtained SAET@ZIF-8 was characterized, and the catalytic activity, reusability and storage stability were also investigated. Results showed that the morphology of the prepared SAET@ZIF-8 nanoparticles was basically the same as that of the standard ZIF-8 materials reported in literature, and the introduction of cells did not significantly change the morphology of ZIF-8. After repeated use for 7 times, SAET@ZIF-8 could still retain 67% of the initial catalytic activity. Maintained at room temperature for 4 days, 50% of the original catalytic activity of SAET@ZIF-8 could be retained, indicating that SAET@ZIF-8 has good stability for reuse and storage. When used in the biosynthesis of Ala-Gln, the final concentration of Ala-Gln reached 62.83 mmol/L (13.65 g/L) after 30 min, the yield reached 0.455 g/(L·min), and the conversion rate relative to glutamine was 62.83%. All these results suggested that the preparation of SAET@ZIF-8 is an efficient strategy for the biosynthesis of Ala-Gln.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between lower limb muscle strength and walking speed in older adults, and to analyze the mediating role of flexibility and dynamic balance. MethodsFrom November to December, 2021, a total of 155 older adults at the Shanghai Senior Sports and Health Home were included. Their basic health information was collected, and the lower limb muscle strength, flexibility, dynamic balance and walking speed were tested. A mediated effects analysis was conducted. ResultsThere was a pairwise correlation among lower limb muscle strength, flexibility, dynamic balance and walking speed in older adults (r > 0.210, P < 0.01). In the mediated effects model, after controlling for age and gender, lower limb muscle strength did not directly predict walking speed in older adults (β = 0.029, P = 0.699), however, lower limb muscle strength could influence walking speed through the partial mediation of dynamic balance (effect = 0.0130, 95% CI 0.0073~0.0197) and the chain mediation of lower flexibility and dynamic balance (effect = 0.0019, 95% CI 0.0003~0.0043). ConclusionLower limb muscle strength can indirectly affect walking speed in older adults through the mediators of flexibility and dynamic balance, or the dynamic balance alone.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological and pathogenic characteristics of children's infectious diarrhea in Shanghai to provide evidence for developing strategies related to the control of the disease .Methods:Diarrhea outpatients were under surveillance at the pediatric intestinal clinic at five sentinel hospitals in Shanghai, with demographic, clinical, and epidemiological information collected. Fecal specimens were collected and detected for 12 bacteria and 5 viruses by district center for disease control and prevention. Characteristics of diarrhea patients were compared and analyzed from 2016 to 2021. Multi-stage systematic sampling method was adopted. The Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Of 2 456 infectious diarrhea patients, the positive rate was 45.11% (1 108/2 456), 16.00% (393/2 456), 20.81% (511/2 456), 8.31% (204/2 456), for all pathogens, single bacteria, single virus, and diverse infections respectively. The prevalent detected pathogens were pathogenic Escherichia coli (12.95%, 318/2 456), norovirus (10.91%, 268/2 456), rotavirus (7.49%, 184/2 456), Salmonella (5.82%, 143/2 456) and Campylobacter jejuni (4.68%, 115/2 456). The pathogen spectrum of childhood infectious diarrhea patients showed noticeable seasonal changes, with a prevalent bacterial infection in summer [peaked in June, the positive rate was 34.50% (69/200)] and a prevalent viral infection in winter [peaked in January, the positive rate was 48.10% (101/210)]. The positive rates in different age groups, populations, and seasons were statistically different ( χ2=160.53, P<0.001; χ2=14.80, P=0.003; χ2=27.21, P<0.001). During 2020-2021, the number of cases of infectious diarrhea in children (284 cases/year) dropped significantly compared with the number in 2016-2019 (472 cases/year), the pathogen spectrum changed significantly ( χ2=39.02, P=0.001), and the positive findings of bacteria ( χ2=11.73, P<0.001) and viruses ( χ2=14.22, P<0.001) decreased significantly. However, the positive rate of enteric adenovirus increased. Conclusions:The pathogen spectrum of children's infectious diarrhea patients shows noticeable seasonal changes in Shanghai. Pathogenic Escherichiacoli, norovirus, and rotavirus are the most common diarrheal pathogens. In recent years, the detection of adenovirus in children with infectious diarrhea has increased. The number of children with infectious diarrhea and the positive rate have decreased significantly during 2020-2021. Specific prevention and control measures should be taken for infectious diarrhea of different ages, pathogens, and seasons.
