This study analyzed and compared the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne listeriosis in the United States and China,to provide evidence for optimizing the listeriosis surveillance program in China.Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the listeriosis monitoring data from 2009 to 2021 registered in the FDOSS system and the attribution estimates of Listeria monocytogenes(L.monocytogenes)from 2013 to 2021 published by IFSAC.Sporadic and outbreak data on listeriosis in China from the CNKI,Wanfang Medical,and CQVIP databases were collected.From 2009 to 2021,a total of 1 037 listeriosis cases were reported in the United States,including 902 hospitalizations and 165 deaths.The peak of cases caused by Lm con-taminated food was in July.The number of cases,hospitalizations,and deaths accounted for 18.4％(191/1 037),20.5％(185/902),and 22.4％(37/165)of the total,respectively.Most listeriosis outbreaks were attributed to three food groups:dairy products,vegetable crops,and fruits,with attribution percentages ranging from 73.8％to 89.6％.The overall incidence of list-eriosis in China was not high:619 cases were reported from 2009 to 2021,and only 177 cases were recorded in detailed inci-dence years;the maximum number of cases in 2018 was 26.A total of 220 cases were reported with detailed onset months;the highest number of cases in April was 30.Data on listeriosis cases in China are incomplete and sporadic,and only seven cases have been successfully traced to food.Listeriosis surveillance systems in the United States are relatively complete,and there are more foodborne outbreaks.Dairy products,vegetable row crops,and fruits are the most likely causes of disease outbreaks.Although only sporadic cases have been reported in China,China should take actions such as gradually improving multi-department coop-eration mechanisms,achieving data sharing and deepening data mining,and accelerating progress in the detection technology of food-borne pathogenic microorganisms,to ensure food safety and public health.

[Abstract] ObjectVisualizing the superficial cerebellar vein and its tributaries on suscepxibility weighted imaging (SWI), and to construct superficial cerebellar vein network. Methods According to the inclusion criteria, 80 healthy volunteers (40 males and 40 females) were selected for 3. 0 T MRI scans to obtain conventional sequence cross-section, sagittal tomographic images, and SWI image data. Post-processing was performed on the Extended MR workspace 2. 6. 3. 4 image workstation to reconstruct minimum intensity projection(mIP) images. SPSS 21. 0 statistical software was used to analyze and process each data, and the diameter measurement result were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Results Both SWI and mIP could image the structures of the cerebellum and its veins. The cerebellar veins were divided into deep and superficial parts. The superficial cerebellar veins were divided into two groups: the vermis and the cerebellar hemispheres. The superficial vein of the cerebellar vermis consisted of superior vermis vein [diameter: (1. 21±0. 24)mm, occurrence rate: 92. 16%], summit vein [ diameter: (0. 66 ± 0. 05) mm, occurrence rate: 95%], mountain vein [diameter: (0. 76±0. 03)mm, occurrence rate: 100%], inferior vermis vein [diameter: (1. 40±0. 27)mm, occurrence rate: 99. 02%]. The superficial cerebellar hemisphere vein consists of anterior superior cerebellar vein [diameter: (1. 09± 0. 12)mm, occurrence rate: 100%], posterior superior cerebellar vein [diameter: (0. 88±0. 13) mm, occurrence rate: 70%], anterior inferior cerebellar vein [ diameter: (1. 34 ± 0. 15) mm, occurrence rate: 100%], posterior inferior cerebellar vein [ diameter: (1. 11 ± 0. 09) mm, occurrence rate: 92. 5%]. The deep veins were divided into cerebellomesencephalic fissure group, cerebellopontine fissure group, and cerebellomedullary fissure group. Conclusion SWI can display the microstructure and venules of the cerebellum, and can construct a network of superficial cerebellar veins.

Objective:To investigate the effect of early postoperative enteral nutrition(EN)on postoperative rehabilitation and inflammation after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer,in order to provide reference for postoperative rehabilitation of such patients.Methods:Patients who received laparoscopic assisted radical gastrectomy in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2020 to December 2022 were included in the analysis.According to the different ways of postoperative nutritional treatment,patients were divided into the observation group(early postoperative EN group)and the control group(parenteral nutrition group),and indexes such as postoperative rehabilitation,abdominal drainage flow and the level of inflammatory mediators in drainage fluid were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 81 patients were included,including 41 in the observation group and 40 in the control group.Interval of the first postoperative exhaust(t=3.806;P＜0.001)and resuming diet day(t=5.510;P＜0.001),and length of postoperative hospital stay(t=2.401;P=0.019)in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group.Levels of peripheral blood albumin(t=14.040;P＜0.001)and prealbumin(t=9.832;P＜0.001)of the observation group at postoperative day(POD)5 were significantly higher than those of the control group,but there was no significant difference in hemoglobin level(t=1.477;P=0.144).The level of CRP in peripheral blood of the observation group at POD 5(t=7.758;P＜0.001)and the incidence of postoperative SIRS[(12.2％,5/41)vs(32.5％,13/40),x2=4.830;P=0.028)]were significantly lower than those in the control group.The average drainage volume(t=6.858;P＜0.001),drainage removal time(t=5.016;P＜0.001),and TNF-α level(t=4.993;P＜0.001)and IL-6 level(t=20.640;P＜0.001)in postoperative drainage at POD 5 were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group.Conclusion:Early postoperative EN could accelerate the rehabilitation process after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy,improve postoperative nutritional status,and reduce abdominal inflammation.

Lysine succinylation is a novel post-translational modification, which plays an important role in regulating distinct cellular functions control, therefore it is necessary to accurately identify succinylation sites in proteins. As traditional experiments consume material and financial resources, prediction by calculation is an efficient method being proposed recently. In this study, we developed a new prediction method iSucc-PseAAC, which uses a variety of classification algorithms combined with different feature extraction methods. Moreover, it is found that under the feature extraction based on coupled sequence (PseAAC), the classification effect of support vector machine is the best, and it could be combined with ensemble learning to solve the problem of data imbalance. Compared with the existing methods, iSucc-PseAAC has more significance and practicality in predicting lysine succinylation sites.

Adulterants and counterfeits were found in some of the commercial traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoctions in Hongjin Xiaojie Jiaonang, Hongjin Xiaojie Pian, and Chaihuang Keli during the national drug sampling inspection. However, it was difficult to determine the species of the adulterants and counterfeits by conventional testing methods. Therefore, a total of 184 samples of the TCM decoctions and raw materials belong to the prescriptions of above mentioned traditional Chinese patent medicines, including Bupleuri Radix, Bajiaolian, Heimayi, and Shufuchong, were collected and authenticated by DNA barcoding technology. 111 ITS2 sequences were obtained from 115 commercial TCM decoctions and raw materials of Bupleuri Radix, among which 71 were Bupleurum chinense, three were B. scorzonerifolium, and 31 were closely related species in the same genus. In addition, counterfeits derived from different genera, such as Ailanthus altissima (one sample), Saposhnikovia divaricate (two samples), and Solidago decurrens (three samples), were also detected. 21 ITS2 sequences were obtained from 22 commercial TCM raw materials of Bajiaolian, among which 15 were Diphylleia sinensis and six were Dysosma versipellis and other species in genus Dysosma. For 22 Heimayi samples, PCR amplification of COI sequence was failed due to genomic DNA degradation. Among 38 Shufuchong samples, 24 COI sequences were obtained and only nine of them were the genuine species (Armadillidium vulgare) recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, 11 were Porcellio laevis, two were Mongoloniscus sinensis, and two samples could not be identified due to the limitation of database. This study demonstrates that DNA barcoding technology is suitable for the species authentication of the decoctions of traditional Chinese patent medicine prescription. It is a conductive way for the establishment of traceability system for the whole TCM industrial chain.

Objective:To study the association between metabolic syndrome （MS） and Chinese healthy eating index （CHEI）， and to identify the beneficial or adverse effects of diets on MS in a community population of Shanghai. Methods:Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria， the data of 4 856 subjects from a community in Shanghai was collected by interview. Total CHEI score and its component score were calculated based on the frequency of food consumption. Physical examination and blood biochemical tests were used to diagnose MS. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between MS or relative indexes and the total CHEI score or its component score. Results:The study showed the overall prevalence of MS was 24.71%. There were significant differences between MS group and controls （P<0.05） in age， BMI， waist circumference， fasting blood glucose， triglycerides， total cholesterol， systolic blood pressure， diastolic blood pressure， glycated hemoglobin， high-density lipoprotein and energy intake. After adjusting for potential confounders， it showed that the higher total CHEI score， the lower risk of central obesity， increased diastolic blood pressure， increased glycated hemoglobin， hyperglycemic and MS （P<0.05）. The increase in component score of potatoes， milk， beans， dark vegetables， fruits， oil and sodium reduced risk of obesity， hypertension， hyperglycemia， dyslipidemia and MS （P<0.05）. Conclusion:The quality of healthy diet （CHEI score more than 80） and increased intake of specific dietary components （potatoes， milk， beans， dark vegetables， fruits） reduce the risk of MS effectively.
