Objective To understand the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of foodborne diseases in Jinan City, and to provide targeted measures for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases. Methods Data were collected from the reporting system of two sentinel hospitals for active surveillance of foodborne diseases in Jinan City from 2013 to 2021, and pathogens were detected in stool/anal swab samples of the cases. Constituent ratio was used for enumeration data, and χ² test was used for comparison of detection rates. Results A total of 5,417 cases of foodborne diseases were reported in the two sentinel hospitals in Jinan from 2013 to 2021, and most of them were children aged 0-5 years (48.57%). The high incidence period of foodborne diseases was from May to August (53.72%). The main clinical symptoms were digestive system symptoms. Meat and meat products accounted for the largest number of suspected exposed foods (13.89%), and home-made food was the main exposure source (45.83%). The total detection rate of pathogens was 38.40%, mainly Escherichia coli (24.22%), and the detection rate of norovirus was 17.76%. There was a significant difference in the detection rate of pathogenic bacteria before and after the establishment of Healthy City (χ²=107.22, P <0.001). Conclusion The high-risk population for foodborne diseases is children aged 0 to 5 years old. Summer and fall are the high incidence seasons, with E. coli and norovirus as predominant pathogens. It is necessary to continue to strengthen the monitoring of foodborne diseases in high-risk seasons and infants, improve the food safety awareness of high-risk groups, increase monitoring sentinel hospitals, and expand the coverage. In addition, relevant departments should take corresponding prevention and control measures to reduce the occurrence of foodborne diseases.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the clinical application value of the indication selection criteria for bi-pedicled deep inferior epigastric arterial perforator flap(DIEP) versus pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap(TRAM) combined with DIEP for breast reconstruction.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent delayed bi-pedicled abdominal flap breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery in the Department of Oncoplastic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery and Department of Mammoplasty, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2008 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the indications for each procedure, corresponding blood supply source was selected. Subsequently, patients were divided into two groups: bi-pedicled DIEP group and pedicled TRAM+ DIEP combined flap group according to the type of blood supply source. The indication selection criteria for pedicled TRAM+ DIEP combined flap was as follows: lack of two groups of recipient vessels; no dominant perforator in the abdominal donor site; previous abdominal liposuction or abdominal surgery with large dissection range and severe scar; patients were unable to tolerate prolonged surgery or had high risk factors for microsurgery. A comparison of breast reconstruction surgery characteristics was conducted between the two groups. Independent-samples t-test, rank sum test, Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact probability method were used to analyze various data including age, body mass index (BMI), time interval between breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction surgery, history of radiotherapy, history of chemotherapy, history of smoking, history of lower abdominal surgery, history of hypertension, original surgical incision type, length and width of flap, hospitalization length, preoperative and postoperative conditions, as well as postoperative complications. Statistical significance was defined at P<0.05. Results:A total of 54 patients who underwent unilateral breast reconstruction were included in this study with a mean age of 42.2 years (range, 30-59 years). The pedicled TRAM+ DIEP combined flap group consisted of 21 patients with a mean age of 42.7 years (range, 33-56 years) while the bi-pedicled DIEP group comprised 33 patients with a mean age of 41.8 years (30-59 years). Out of the 54 patients, a total of 38 were eventually followed up, comprising 14 in the pedicled TRAM+ DIEP combined flap group and 24 in the bi-pedicled DIEP group. The average follow-up duration for the pedicled TRAM+ DIEP combined flap group was 42 months (range, 6-69 months). Abdominal bulge occurred in one patient, while another patient experienced abdominal hernia. The average follow-up duration for the bi-pedicled DIEP group was 47 months (6-179 months), with no reported cases of abdominal bulge or abdominal hernia. There were no statistically significant differences observed between the two groups regarding age, BMI, time interval between breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction surgery, history of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, history of smoking, history of lower abdominal surgery, history of hypertension, original surgical incision type, length and width of flap, hospitalization length or time to ambulation (all P>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference noted in duration of surgery between the pedicled TRAM+ DIEP combined flap group and bi-pedicled DIEP group [6.0(5.5-6.5) hours vs. 8.5(8.0-8.8) hours] ( P<0.01). Comparison analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in terms of partial flap necrosis (0/21 vs. 1/33), abdominal incision dehiscence (2/21 vs. 2/33), abdominal bulge (1/14 vs. 0 /24) or abdominal hernia (1/1 vs. 0/24) between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients who needed bilateral vascular pedicled lower abdominal wall for breast reconstruction, utilizing a pedicled TRAM+ DIEP combined flap did not increase surgical complication risks. The proposed indication selection criteria for using a pedicled TRAM + DIEP combined flap outlined in this study could serve as guidance when choosing methods for bi-pedicled abdominal flap breast reconstruction.

Objective To analyze bacterial epidemiological characteristics of adult foodborne diarrhea cases in Jinan from 2013 to 2019, and to provide references for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases. Methods Using SPSS21.0, the pathogen detection results of 1513 adult diarrhea cases reported by the foodborne disease surveillance sentinel hospital in Jinan was analyzed. Results The positive detection rate of the pathogen of foodborne diarrhea in adults was 46.07%. Among these, the positive rate of bacterial infection was 30.60%, mainly Escherichia coli; the positive rate of norovirus infection was 20.29%, and the main infection genotype was GⅡ; and the positive rate of bacterial-virus infection was 4.82%. The difference in pathogen positive detection rates in different quarters was statistically significant (χ²=11.894, P=0.008). Bacterial infection was the main factor during the second to the fourth quarters, while viral infection became critical in the second and the fourth quarters. The top three suspected exposure foods were meat and meat products (18.77%), mixed foods (14.83%), and fruits and their products (14.35%). Conclusion The positive rate of adult foodborne diarrhea pathogens in Jinan is relatively high. It is recommended to increase sentinel monitoring hospitals. At the same time, the foodborne disease prevention and control measures should be developed based on seasonal changes, different age groups, and different characteristics of exposed food.

Objective To investigate the effect of Glycyrrhizin combined with puerarin on serum Leptin and insulin resistance in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) patients.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with NAFLD were randomized into 4 groups,which were control group,compound Glycyrrhizin group,puerarin group,combined group,and each group was 30 cases.Patients in control group were received the regular liver protecting therapy including vitamins,amino acids,glucurolactone,in compound Glycyrrhizin group were given 60 ml compound glycyrrhizin solution (iv),in puerarin group were given puerarin at dose of 400 mg by intravenous infusion,and in combined group were given both compound glycyrrhizin and puerarin combination.All treatment period was 4 weeks.The levels of serum serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),leptin (LP),fasting blood glucose (FBG) and insulin(INS) were measured,and the insulin resistance index(IRI) was calculated.The liver CT image of patients were performed by Germany Siemens dual source CT instrument.Results The levels of serum ALT,AST,TC,TG,LP and IRI in control group at before and after treatment were ((83.08 ± 115.68) U/L vs.(43.32 ±11.72) U/L,(52.12±15.62) U/Lvs.(36.08 ±7.28) U/L,(6.20±1.30) mmol/Lvs.(5.60 ±0.70) mmol/L,(2.70 ±0.50) mmol/L vs.(2.10 ±0.40) mmol/L,(14.63 ±3.26) μg/L vs.(7.61 ± 2.46) μg/L,(7.9 ± 1.8) vs.(7.0 ± 1.2)),and the difference were statistically significant (t =12.828,4.244,16.648,21.442,3.341,16.152 respectively,P ＜ 0.01).The levels of serum ALT,AST,TC,TG,LP and IRI in compound glycyrrhizin group after treatment were ((43.28 ± 11.06) U/L,(37.28 ± 7.22) U/L,(5.70± 0.80) mmol/L,(2.20 ± 0.50) mmol/L,(7.89 ± 2.26) μg/L,(7.1 ± 1.6) respectively,significant different from before treatment ((83.06 ± 14.38) U/L,(51.68 ± 15.48) U/L,(6.30 ± 1.50) mmol/L,(2.60 ± 0.40) mmol/L,(15.13 ± 3.87) μg/L,(7.8 ± 2.2) respectively,t =8.893,4.225,16.520,24.708,6.353,21.137 respectively,P ＜ 0.01).The levels of serum ALT,AST,TC,TG,LP and ISI in puerarin group after treatment were (44.26 ± 9.68) U/L,(36.86 ± 6.88) U/L,(5.60 ± 0.70) mmol/L,(2.26 ± 0.48) mmol/L,(6.89 ± 2.18) μg/L,(7.0 ± 1.8) respectively,significant different from that before treatment ((82.68±14.36) U/L,(50.06±15.23) U/L,(6.20±1.60) mmol/L,(2.70±0.52) mmol/L,(15.68 ±3.26)μg/L,(7.7 ±2.8) respectively,t =7.087,8.138,18.159,7.244,7.470,32.283 respectively,P ＜ 0.01).The levels of serum ALT,AST,TC,TG,LP and ISI in combined treatment group after treatment were (22.28 ± 9.38)U/L,(28.48 ± 9.06) U/L,(5.00 ± 0.60) mmol/L,(1.70 ± 0.40) mmol/L,(4.63 ± 2.36) μg/L,(6.20± 1.6) respectively,significantly different from that before treatment ((84.62 ± 14.88) U/L,(49.12 ± 16.56)U/L,(5.70 ± 1.60) mmol/L,(2.78 ± 0.50) mmol/L,(14.78 ± 3.68) μg/L,(7.6 ± 2.1),t =14.255,11.272,8.371,9.941,8.102,37.626,P ＜ 0.01).The levels of serum ALT,AST,TC,TG,LP and ISI of patient were no significant difference before treatment,but after treatment,these indexes in combined therapy group were the lowest among 4 groups (P ＜ 0.05).And there were no significant difference among control group,compound glycyrrhizin group,puerarin group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Compound glycyrrhizin combined with puerarin is proved to be an effect treatment method for NAFLD through decreasing serum leptin,improving insulin resistance.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effects of IFN-γon the expression of pro-grammed death ligand 2 (PDL2) on human placenta mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) and the hPMSCs-induced differentiation of peripheral blood CD 8+IL-10+T cell subsets .Methods hPMSCs were isolated from mature human placenta by enzyme digestion .The expression of PDL2 on hPMSCs and the regulatory effects of IFN-γon PDL2 expression were detected by RT-PCR and flow cytometry ( FCM ) , respectively . Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy subjects by density gradient centrif-ugation.T cells were purified with sheep red blood cells .FCM was used to detect the ratios of CD 8+IL-10+T cell subsets in PHA or CD3/CD28 beads activated T cells in the presence of hPMSCs treated with Anti-PDL2 McAb or IFN-γ.Results PDL2 molecules were highly expressed on hPMSCs that could be further enhanced by IFN-γ.The results of FCM demonstrated that hPMSCs could induce the differentiation of CD 8+IL-10+T cell subsets .The ratios of CD8+IL-10+T cell population in T cells activated by different stimulators including PHA and CD3/CD28 beads were significantly increased in the presence of hPMSCs as compared with those without hPMSCs (P<0.01).In addition, the antibody blocking experiments indicated that PDL 2 McAb down-regulated the percentages of CD 8+IL-10+T cell subsets in PHA or CD 3/CD28 beads stimulated T cells in the presence of hPMSCs as compared with those of unblocked groups .CD8+IL-10+T cell subsets were up-regulated in IFN-γtreated hPMSCs groups as compared with those of untreated groups .Conclusion hPMSCs could induce the differentiation of peripheral blood T cells into CD 8+IL-10+T cell subsets , which was enhanced by PDL 2 expressed on hPMSCs .IFN-γcould promote the differentiation of CD 8+IL-10+T cell subsets induced by hPMSCs through up-regulating the expression of PDL2 on hPMSCs.

Objective To assess retinal arteriole stenosis in cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and to evaluate the relationship between retinal arteriole stenosis with cranial MRI changes and clinical features. Methods Sixteen CADASIL patients (mean age was (43.4±8.1)years, mean duration was(4.7±3.4)years)and sixteen age matched healthy individuals were enrolled. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and modified Rankin scale scoring were performed in 16 patients. Cranial MRl with Coulthard scores was assessed on CADASIL patients as well. Retinal examinations for arteriole stenosis were done for each subject. Bivariate correlations (Kendall's tau-b) were used to assess the relationship among the grade of retinal stenosis, MMSE, modified Rankin seale, cranial MRI with Coulthard scores and age. Results Retinal arteriole stenosis presented in 15 cases. in whom 4 cases showed mild arterio-venous nicking. while it only presented in 2 controls. Grade 0.Ⅰ, and Ⅲ of retinal arteriole stenosis are noted in 1/16,4/16,7/16 and 4/16cases respectively. Coulthard scores of cerebral MRl were 6.0.19.0.25.1 and 29.8 respectively from Grade 0 toⅢ of retinal arteriole stenosis. The correlation coefficient of retinal arteriole stenosis and cranial MRI scores was 0.743(P＜0.001＝,MMSE-0.429(P＜0.05＝,modified Rankin scale 0.437(P＞0.05).and age 0.299(P＞0.05).Conclusion Retinal arteriole stenosis is significantly correlated with lesion in cranial MRI and dementia.
