As an industrial chemical, bisphenol A is widely used in various food packaging materials. However, it is an endocrine disrupting chemical, which has estrogen activity and can cause certain damage to humans. So far, there are few studies on the detection of bisphenol A in self-heating food packaging materials, and there remains a lack of relevant standard. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a simple, sensitive and efficient method for the detection of bisphenol A in self-heating food. This study briefly introduces the pretreatment methods of bisphenol A, such as ultrasonic extraction, solid phase extraction, accelerated solvent extraction, and detection methods, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, high performance liquid chromatography, fluorescent detection, and electrochemical detection.

Objective:To rapidly evaluate the level of healthcare resource demand for laboratory testing and prevention and control of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in different epidemic situation, and prepare for the capacity planning, stockpile distribution, and funding raising for infectious disease epidemic response.Methods:An susceptible, exposed, infectious, removed infectious disease dynamics model with confirmed asymptomatic infection cases and symptomatic hospitalized patients was introduced to simulate different COVID-19 epidemic situation and predict the numbers of hospitalized or isolated patients, and based on the current COVID-19 prevention and control measures in China, the demands of resources for laboratory testing and prevention and control of COVID-19 were evaluated.Results:When community or local transmission or outbreaks occur and total population nucleic acid testing is implemented, the need for human resources is 3.3-89.1 times higher than the reserved, and the current resources of medical personal protective equipment and instruments can meet the need. The surge in asymptomatic infections can also increase the human resource demand for laboratory testing and pose challenge to the prevention and control of the disease. When vaccine protection coverage reach ≥50%, appropriate adjustment of the prevention and control measures can reduce the need for laboratory and human resources.Conclusions:There is a great need in our country to reserve the human resources for laboratory testing and disease prevention and control for the response of the possible epidemic of COVID-19. Challenges to human resources resulted from total population nucleic acid testing and its necessity need to be considered. Conducting non-pharmaceutical interventions and encouraging more people to be vaccinated can mitigate the shock on healthcare resource demand in COVID-19 prevention and control.

Objective:To investigate the genetic characteristics of norovirus (NoV) in children with acute gastroenteritis in Shanghai.Methods:A total of 709 stool specimens were collected from outpatients with acute gastroenteritis in Children′s Hospital of Shanghai from October 2018 to September 2019. Real-time RT-PCR was used for qualitative detection of NoV, and RT-PCR was used to identify the genotypes of NoV with the primers of VP1 gene, RdRp region and RdRp-VP1 region. SPSS20.0 statistical software was used for data processing and bioinformatics software was used for homology, phylogenetic and recombination analysis of NoV gene sequences.Results:NoV was detected in 265 out of the 709 stool specimens with a positive rate of 37.4%. Sequence analysis of RdRp region and VP1 gene showed that seven different genotypes including GⅡ.P16-GⅡ.2, GⅡ.P12-GⅡ.3, GⅡ.Pe-GⅡ.4_Sydney 2012, GⅡ.P7-GⅡ.6, GⅡ.P8-GⅡ.8, GⅡ.P21-GⅡ.13 and GⅡ.P17-GⅡ.17 were detected from 111 NoV-positive specimens. The predominated genotype was GⅡ.P16-GⅡ.2 (30.6%, 34/111), followed by GⅡ.Pe-GⅡ.4_Sydney 2012 (27.0%, 30/111) and GⅡ.P12-GⅡ.3 (24.3%, 27/111). Two new NoV recombinant strains belonging to GⅡ.P21-GⅡ.13 genotype were identified and the recombination site was in the junction region of ORF1 and ORF2. NoV infection occurred every month, but the predominant genotype was different. No significant difference in the positive rates of NoV was found between male and female patients ( P=0.329). However, there were significant differences between different age groups ( P=0.011) and the children in the age groups of >11-12 years old and >2-3 years old had higher rates of NoV infection. Conclusions:The predominated recombinant NoV strains belonged to GⅡ.P16-GⅡ.2, GⅡ.Pe-GⅡ.4_Sydney 2012 and GⅡ.P12-GⅡ.3 genotypes, and two new recombinant NoV strains (GⅡ.P21-GⅡ.13) were found in Shanghai during October 2018 to September 2019. Gene sequencing across ORF1 and ORF2 was conducive to better understanding the NoV genotypes and recombination.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of imatinib on growth impairment in children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP) in the chronic phase.Methods:From July 2018 to July 2019, questionnaires were distributed to CML children aged <18 years at the time of diagnosis who were receiving imatinib for at least 3 months or to their parents in China. The height-for-age standard deviation score (HtSDS) and the difference of standard deviation integral (△HtSDS) were used to explore the change in height with imatinib therapy.Results:The data of 238 respondents were included; 138 (58.0% ) respondents were men. The median age at the first diagnosis of CML was 11.0 years (range, 1.4-17.9 years) , and 93 (39.0% ) respondents were at the prepuberty stage. At the time of completing the questionnaires, the median age was 15.0 years (range, 2.0-34.0 years) . The median duration of imatinib therapy was 28 months (range, 3-213 months) . Among all the respondents, the mean HtSDS when completing the questionnaires (-0.063±1.361) was significantly lower than that at the time of starting imatinib treatment (0.391±1.244) ( P<0.001) . Total 71.0% respondents showed growth impairment that was more common in those starting imatinib therapy at prepubertal age than in those starting at pubertal age. Multivariate analysis showed that younger at the start of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) and longer duration of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) were significantly associated with severe growth impairment on imatinib therapy. Conclusions:Imatinib induced growth impairment in children with CML-CP. Younger the age of initiation and longer the duration of imatinib therapy, more obvious the effect of imatinib on growth impairment.

Objective: To explore the anti-inflammatory immune mechanism in moxibustion treatment of Crohn.s disease (CD) from the perspective of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway, through observing the regulatory effect ofmoxibustion on colonic JNK, c-Jun, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) in CDmodel rats. Method: Male Sprague-Dawley rats of clean grade were randomized into a normal group, a model group, amoxibustion group and a sham moxibustion group. CD model was developed by the mixture of 2, 4, 6 Trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS) and ethanol via enema. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the morphologicalchanges in rat.s colon tissues for pathological scoring; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detectthe contents of MCP-1, COX2, JNK, and c-Jun in colon tissues; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was adopted toexamine the mRNA expressions of JNK and c-Jun in rat.s colon. Result: Compared with the normal group, the modelgroup showed more significant colonic damage and thus had a higher colonic damage score (P < 0.01), manifested astopical inflammation which involved the submucosa, fissuring ulcers and granuloma; the model group also showedincreased contents of protein MCP-1 and COX2, and elevated contents of JNK protein and mRNA in colon (all P < 0.05), while the change in the content of c-Jun was insignificant (all P> 0.05) . Compared with the model group and shammoxibustion group, the colonic damage score was lower in the moxibustion group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), with improvementin colonic structure and inflammation; the contents of MCP-1 and COX2 in colon tissues declined, so did the proteincontent and mRNA expression of JNK (all P < 0.05), while the change in the content of c-Jun was insignificant (all P>0.05) . There were no significant differences between the model group and sham moxibustion group comparing all theindexes (all P> 0.05) . Conclusion: Moxibustion down-regulates the expressions of JNK protein and mRNA in CD rat.scolon, as well as the contents of MCP-1 and COX2 in colon tissues, which is possibly one significant mechanism formoxibustion to ease intestinal inflammation and promote the repair of colon tissues in CD.
