Objective To understand the residual levels of eugenol in aquatic products sold in 4 cities in Hubei Province and timely discover potential food safety hazards, and to provide a scientific basis for supervision of eugenol in aquaculture and transportation of aquatic products. Methods From 2021 to 2023, 124 samples of aquatic products were randomly collected from supermarkets and farmers’ markets in Yichang, Xiantao, Jingmen, and Ezhou cities in Hubei Province. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect the residues of eugenol. Results Eugenol was detected in 51 out of 124 samples, with a detection rate of 41.13%，and a concentration range of N.D. - 2601μg/kg. Among them, 19 out of 40 samples were detected in 2021, with a detection rate of 47.50%; 12 out of 40 samples were detected in 2022, with a detection rate of 30.00%; and 20 out of 44 samples were detected in 2023, with a detection rate of 45.45%. There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rates in different years (P>0.05). The detection rates of eugenol in aquatic products sold in Yichang City, Xiantao City, Jingmen City, and Ezhou City were 22.58%, 35.48%, 41.94%, and 64.52%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The detection rates of samples in supermarkets and farmers' markets were 35.56% and 44.30%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The detection rate of eugenol in bighead carp was the highest at 66.67%, followed by grass carp with a detection rate of 61.22%, which was significantly higher than other fish (P<0.05). Conclusion At present, the widespread use and arbitrary addition of eugenol should be paid attention to by relevant departments.

Objective To optimize the microwave-assisted extraction process of green tea polyphenols. Methods The extraction yield of tea polyphenols was figured up by building the standard curve of gallic acid and examining the concentration of tea polyphenols in green tea extract with the introduction of a correction factor. The effects of four single factor levels of microwave extraction time, microwave output power, liquid-to-material yield, and ethanol volume fraction on the extraction yield of tea polyphenols were primarily studied in this experiment. The response surface was applied to further optimize the extraction process of green tea polyphenols after exploring the appropriate range of four single factor levels. Results The optimal extraction process was as follows: extraction time 37 s, microwave output power 350 w, material - liquid yield 1∶45 (g/ml), ethanol volume fraction 55%, and the actual extraction yield of tea polyphenols was 25.65%, which was not much different from the theoretical value. Conclusion The microwave-assisted green tea polyphenol extraction process optimized by response surface methodology is time-saving and practicable, and the extraction yield is high.

Breast cancer is a kind of malignant tumor discovered lately, with a high incidence and a poor prognosis. The shortage of relevant biological biomarkers lead to the unsatisfactory treatment efficacy and the early diagnosis in breast cancer. Metabolomics is a new discipline that uses high-throughput analysis techniques to study the dynamic changes of endogenous metabolites under the influence of different pathological physiological stimulation or gene mutations, which has provided a novel way for biomarker screening and disease diagnosis and treatment. The overview of metabolomics and its applications in breast cancer early diagnosis, drug efficacy evaluation, and disease prognosis were summarized in this review.

Objective:Comparing the diagnostic performance of pulmonary infection pathogens between metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) testing and traditional assay in patients with AIDS to provide references for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods:From July 2019 to January 2021, the regular clinical assays as well as mNGS testing were performed for patients and those discharged with a diagnosis of AIDS and pulmonary infection were retrospectively reviewed in the department of infectious diseases of Beijing You An Hospital. The cases with discharge diagnosis of AIDS for whom mNGS testing was performed on samples from respiratory system were analyzed. Diagnostic performance of pathogens was compared between mNGS testing and traditional etiologyic diagnostic method. Diagnosis concordance analysis and diagnostic comparison study between mNGS and traditional etiology diagnosis method in terms of pathogens were also performed.Results:Fifty-five cases discharged with AIDS and pulmonary infection were enrolled.. For 29 cases for whom mNGS testing was performed on samples from respiratory system, the sensitivity of mNGS for diagnosing infection was higher than that of traditional etiology diagnosis method (89.7% vs. 37.9%, P<0.001) but with poor consistency (Kappa=0.249, P=0.170). A superior positivity rate in mNGS than that in traditional etiology diagnosis method for diagnosing bacterial (90.9% vs. 9.1%, P<0.001) Pneumocystis jirovecii (mNGS only), and nontuberculous mycobacteria (mNGS only). Conclusions:mNGS could yield a higher sensitivity for pulmonary pathogen identification in AIDS patients, especially for bacterial, Pneumocystis jirovecii and nontuberculous mycobacteria compared to traditional etiologic diagnostic method.

Objective:To explore the status of volume management behavior in patients with peritoneal dialysis, and to explore the relationship between health belief and volume management behavior.Methods:Convenient sampling was used to select 129 patients who underwent regular dialysis in the peritoneal dialysis center of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January to December 2019. The general condition questionnaire, Health Belief Scale, and Capacity Management Behavior Scale for patients with peritoneal dialysis were used.Results:The total score of the Capacity Management Behavior Scale of peritoneal dialysis patients was 20.23±3.54. Among all the entries: "Weigh and record the infusion volume and drainage volume" and "Regular monitoring of renal function and electrolytes and other related examinations as directed by the doctor" scored higher; while the item "Eat less high-salt and high-sodium food and adjust fluid intake according to the amount of ultrafiltration, edema and urine output" item scored lower; single factor analysis found that different educational levels, different employment conditions, whether had diabetes mellius and different over hydration had statistical significance ( F value was 3.911, t values were 2.409, 4.990, 6.070, P<0.05). The dimension of the perception maintenance capacity balance disorder was negatively correlated with the total score and each dimension of the capacity management behavior( r values were -0.243, -0.260, -0.299, P<0.05) , and the liquid intake self-efficacy dimension is positively correlated with the total score and each dimension of the capacity management behavior ( r values were 0.329, 0.397, 0.393, P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of capacity management behavior of peritoneal dialysis patients needs to be improved; employment status, and whether he has diabetes or not are the influencing factors of the patients' capacity management behavior; in health beliefs, perception of maintenance of volume balance disorders and self-efficacy and peritoneal dialysis are correlated with patients' capacity management behaviors.

Objective:To investigate the effect of hemoglobin (Hb) volatility on cardiovascular prognosis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods:Retrospective cohort study was designed. Patients undergoing stable PD for more than 3 months and followed up regularly for at least 1 year were enrolled from May 1, 2013 to October 31, 2014 in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University. According to the Hb variation based on the mean changes in Hb standard deviation at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months over baseline Hb, all patients were divided into low volatility group (≤10 g/L), moderate volatility group (>10-20 g/L) and high volatility group (>20 g/L), and baseline information were compared among these groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression equation were used to analyze the relationship between Hb variation and cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. Besides, the patients were divided into qualified group (Hb≥110 g/L) and substandard group (Hb<110 g/L) by the Hb level at the study endpoint (cardiovascular death and all-cause death) according to KDIGO guidelines and relevant literature. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between Hb variation and cardiovascular death in qualified group or substandard group. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of Hb fluctuation in PD patients.Results:A total of 267 patients were enrolled. There were 160 males (59.93%) in this study. The age was (52.66±13.72) years old, and the median dialysis age was 37(21, 61) months. The patients' baseline Hb (before dialysis) was (80.16±14.89) g/L and at the end of the study Hb was (105.34±22.08) g/L. Body mass index and baseline Hb levels in the high volatility group were lower than those in low volatility group and moderate volatility group (all P<0.05). Both moderate and high volatility groups had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate than that in low volatility group, and high volatility group had higher urea nitrogen level than that in low volatility group (all P<0.05). The amount of erythropoietin usage in the high volatility group was higher than that in moderate volatility group ( P<0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis results showed that there was no significant difference in survival rate for all-cause death (Log-rank χ2=0.735, P=0.693) and cardiovascular death (Log-rank χ2=2.961, P=0.228) in different Hb volatility groups. Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, sex, serum creatinine, and blood albumin, higher Hb volatility was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular death ( HR=0.972, 95% CI 0.947-0.999, P=0.040). After adjusting for related confounding factors, higher Hb volatility was still a protective factor for cardiovascular death in the substandard group ( HR=0.946, 95% CI 0.903-0.992, P=0.022), but there was no significant correlation between Hb fluctuation and all-cause death. Multivariate linear regression analysis results showed that the fluctuation level of Hb was positively correlated with Kt/V ( B=4.682, 95% CI 2.480-6.884, P<0.001) and erythropoietin dosages ( B=0.001, 95% CI 0-0.001, P=0.003), and negatively correlated with baseline Hb ( B=-0.554, 95% CI -0.651--0.457, P<0.001). Conclusions:High Hb variability is a protective factor for cardiovascular death in PD patients with lower Hb level (substandard Hb). Adopting a reasonable program to correct anemia timely to reach the standard level has a greater impact on reducing risk of cardiovascular death in PD patients than Hb variation in anemia treatment.

Objective:To explore the application effects of the Doctor-nurse-therapist integrated Model on the patients with brain injury in the rehabilitation period.Methods:A total of 60 patients with brain injury from January 2016 to October 2017 were selected as the control group underwent interventions based on traditional treatment model involving medical treatment, nursing and rehabilitation, and then 56 patients with brain injury from January 2018 to October 2019 were aselected as the experimental group followed Doctor-Nurse-Therapist integrated model for rehabilitation treatment. All subjects were recruited from inpatients hospitalized in the Forth Department of Neurological Rehabilitation, Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital (Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center). The differences of motor function, activities of daily life (ADLs), anxiety and depression scores between the two groups were compared.Results:After 6 weeks of interventions, the scores of motor function were 80.27±18.20 and 67.32±19.71, and ADLs scores were 73.14±19.18 and 64.59±20.33 for the experimental group and the control group, respectively. The differences of the motor function and ADLs scores showed statistical significance between the experimental group and the control group ( t values were 3.491, 2.105, P<0.05). The anxiety and depression scores were 44.68±12.29 and 42.61±17.95 in the experimental group, while 52.25±12.95 and 50.84±18.14 in the control group, respectively. Statistical significance was found according to differences of anxiety and depression scores between the experimental group and the control group ( t values were 2.965,-2.236, P<0.05). Conclusions:Under the integrated model, doctors, nurses and therapists can evaluate, discuss, formulate and implement the flow scheme of the model, which can significantly improve the motor function and daily life ability of patients with brain injury in the rehabilitation period as well as anxiety, depression and the quality of medical services, and reduce the burden of family and society.

Objective:To explore the clinical application effect of the integrated health education model of medical care and treatment in the rehabilitation of hospitalized patients with brain injury.Methods:A total of 90 patients with brain injury who were admitted to Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital (Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center) from May 2018 to October 2019 were selected as the research objects by the convenient sampling method. The patients were divided into the observation group ( n=46) and the control group ( n=44) by random number table method. The control group adopted traditional methods for health education, while the observation group adopted integrated health education model of medical care and treatment. Standardized assessments were performed before the intervention and the first, third and sixth weeks of the intervention. The responsible nurses used Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA) , Self-care Ability Assessment Scale (Barthel index) and Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale (ESCA) to evaluate the motor function, daily life self-care ability and self-care ability of the observation group and the control group. And self-made questionnaire was used to assist patients to complete the nursing quality satisfaction score. Results:After 6 weeks, the score of limb motor function score of the observation group was (89.57±11.28) and score of the daily self-care ability was (89.46±11.75) . Those of the control group were respectively (69.82±10.04) and (56.70±10.67) . The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, the scores of self-care ability of patients in the observation group were (23.26±2.87) , (34.17±4.23) , (17.57±2.52) and (48.40±6.03) , and the satisfaction rate of nursing quality was 87.0% (40/46) . The scores of self-care ability of patients in the control group were (16.50±1.86) , (24.21±3.01) , (12.66±1.78) and (34.18±3.96) and 63.6% (28/44) . The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The integrated health education model of medical care and treatment can improve the limb motor function of patients with brain injury and the self-care ability of daily life, improve the self-care ability of patients in rehabilitation treatment, improve the satisfaction of nursing quality and improve the quality of medical service.

Objective:To understand the identification and medical observation of close contacts of COVID-19 cases in a city and provide scientific basis for the adjustment of the epidemic prevention and control strategies.Methods:Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the general characteristics of all the close contacts of COVID-19 cases in a city. Throat swabs were collected from the close contacts for real-time fluorescent RT-PCR. The confirmed cases were diagnosed according to diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 (trial version 5).Results:Among the 1 665 close contacts of COVID-19 cases in a city, 10 were diagnosed as COVID-19 cases during the medical observation period, accounting for 30.30% of all the confirmed cases in a city, most of them were close relatives of the confirmed cases. The longest contact time with the confirmed cases was 8 days and the shortest was 0 days. Ten COVID-19 cases in close contacts constituted to six family clusters.Conclusions:In COVID-19 prevention and control in a city, the active tracking of the transmission chains of the confirmed cases and timely identification of the close contacts were conducted. The people who had close contacts with the confirmed COVID-19 cases within 14 days before onset were all placed under medical observation, which played a key role in the effective prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in a city. Nearly one third of COVID-19 cases occurred during the medical observation period, so the infection sources were effectively controlled and transmission routes were effectively blocked, which greatly facilitated the prevention of the clusters of COVID-19 cases.

Objective To explore the effects of swallow-feeding management in patients with dysphagia after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods By convenient sampling, 53 TBI patients from the Forth Department of Neurological Rehabilitation, Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital (Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center) from January 2016 to December received a conventional rehabilitation program as the control group. 52 TBI patients from January 2017 to December were recruited into the observation group, while they received the swallow-feeding training and rehabilitation nursing intervention in comparison with the conventional rehabilitation program received in the above control group. The therapeutic effects were evaluated in the two groups through comparing swallowing function pre and post the 30-days interventions, respectively. Results Before intervention the swallowing function of the observation group was graded as grade I (0 example), grade Ⅱ (16 examples), grade Ⅲ (14 examples), grade Ⅳ (14 examples) and grade Ⅴ (8 examples) respectively, while the swallowing function of the control group was graded as gradeⅠ(0 example), gradeⅡ(11 examples), grade Ⅲ(13 examples), gradeⅣ (18 examples) and grade Ⅴ (11 examples) respectively before intervention. The difference in the degrees of the swallowing function had no statistical significance between the control group and the observation group before interventions (Z=-1.268, P=0.205). After intervention the swallowing function of the observation group was graded as grade Ⅰ (20 example), grade Ⅱ (19 examples), grade Ⅲ (10 examples), grade Ⅳ (2 examples) and grade Ⅴ (8 examples) respectively. Meanwhile the swallowing function of the control group was graded as grade Ⅰ (8 example), grade Ⅱ (19 examples), grade Ⅲ (13 examples), grade Ⅳ(10 examples) and grade Ⅴ(3 examples) respectively after intervention. Hence, The difference in the degrees of the swallowing function had statistical significance between the observation group (Z=-6.222, P＜0.01) and control group (Z=-5.892, P＜0.01) pre and post interventions. Moreover, the improvement of swallowing function in the observation group was larger than that of the control group and the difference in the degree of the swallowing function have statistics significance between the two groups (Z=-3.265, P＜0.01). The food intake of the two groups were observed for 30 days, and the results revealed that there were 1 502 cases and 808 cases in respiratory aspiration in the control group and observation group respectively. It can be seen that the incident rate of respiratory aspiration was significantly lower in the observation group than that of the control group (χ2=52.567, P=0.047). Conclusion The Swallow-feeding management can improve the swallowing function, effectively reduce the incidence of respiratory aspiration and also enhance the quality of life in TBI patients.
