ObjectiveTo understand the serotype distribution and drug resistance of salmonella contaminated in commercially available food. MethodsSalmonella detection, including the serotypes, was conducted in food products sold in Pudong New Area from 2020 to 2022. The antimicrobial susceptibility test of 15 antibiotics was conducted by the broth microassay. ResultsA total of 118 salmonella strains were detected in 2 497 pieces of food, with a total detection rate of 4.7%. The dominant detection categories were poultry meat, livestock meat and aquatic products. The 118 salmonella strains could be divided into 24 serotypes, Salmonella enteritidis (26.4%), Salmonella Typhimurium (16.2%) and Salmonella delpy (14.4%) were the main dominant types. Salmonella had the highest resistance rate to ampicillin (63.6%), followed by tetracycline, chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole and nalidixic acid. Among the three dominant serotypes, the multidrug resistance rate of Salmonella typhimurium was the highest (89.5%), followed by Salmonella delpy (70.6%) and Salmonella enteritidis (61.3%). ConclusionLivestock, poultry meat, and aquatic products are seriously contaminated by salmonella with diverse serotypes. The livestock meat is mainly contaminated by Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella delpy, and the poultry meat is mainly contaminated by Salmonella enteritidis. The drug resistance spectrum is wide and the multi-drug resistance rate is high. Different from the livestock and aquatic isolates, poultry meat-derived strains have high tolerance to ampicillin, nalidixic acid and polymyxin, and carry certain potential food safety risks.

Objective:
To explore the correlation between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) level and albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) .
Methods :
200 T2DM patients were chosen to collect general data and relevant laboratory indicators. According to the urinary albumin / creatinine ratio ( UACR) ,they were divided into normal group (UACR<30 mg / g,n = 66) ,microalbuminuria group (30 mg / g≤ UACR<300 mg / g,n = 64) and macroalbuminuria group (UACR≥300 mg / g,n = 70) .On the basis of Lp-PLA2 tertile,they were divided into low Lp-PLA2 group (Lp-PLA2 <104 ng / ml,n = 66) ,medium Lp-PLA2 group ( 104 ng / ml≤Lp-PLA2 <161 ng / ml,n = 67) and high Lp-PLA2 group (Lp-PLA2 ≥161 ng / ml,n = 67) .Group differences were compared by analysis of variance and nonparametric test.Associations between Lp-PLA2 and other indicators were performed by Pearson correlation and Spearman correlation. Related factors of albuminuria in T2DM patients were explored by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. In addition ,receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied to evaluate the predictive value of Lp-PLA2 for albuminuria in T2DM patients.
Results:
Lp-PLA2 was significantly higher in the macroalbuminuria group than that in both the normal group and the microalbuminuria group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05) .Compared with the normal group,Lp-PLA2 in the microalbuminuria group increased(P<0. 05) .With the increase in Lp-PLA2 tertile, there was gradual increase in UACR , and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05) .Correlation analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 was positively correlated with duration of DM,systolic blood pressure (SBP) ,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ,fasting blood glucose (FBG) ,blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ,serum creatinine (Scr) ,UACR and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR) (P <0. 05 ) . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 [OR = 1. 046,95% CI( 1. 031,1. 060) ]was an independent risk factor for albuminuria (P<0. 05) .The AUC of Lp-PLA2 for predicting albuminuria was 0. 902 [95% CI(0. 862,0. 942) ]. The cut-off value of Lp-PLA2was 148 ng / ml,the sensitivity was 65. 7% and specificity was 98. 5%.
Conclusion
Lp-PLA2 is closely related to the albuminuria in T2DM patients,which provides a new method for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) .
