Objective To investigate the contamination of Proteus mirabilis in cooked meat products sold in Zhongshan City from 2017 to 2020, and to analyze its drug resistance characteristics. Methods The detected positive strains of Proteus mirabilis were analyzed for drug resistance. The suspected strains of producing extended spectrum β-lactamases were detected by preliminary screening, then its genes were detected by using molecular biology methods and were finally sequenced. Results Among the 184 strains of Proteus mirabilis detected within 4 years, 117 strains were multi-drug resistant. 184 strains of Proteus mirabilis were highly resistant to tetracycline, polymyxin, minocycline, doxycycline and cefazolin, and they had a high sensitivity rate to ampicillin-sulbactam, cefotaxime, Ceftazidime, cefoxitin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, and levofloxacin. In addition, all strains were sensitive to amikacin, meropenem and imipenem.Only one strain was isolated to produce extended spectrum β- Lactamase bacteria. Conclusion Comparing 2020 with 2017, the resistance rate of Proteus mirabilis in cooked meat to most antibiotics showed a downward trend, and the detection rate of multi-drug resistant bacteria decreased year by year. Compared with the clinically detected strains, the drug resistance rate of the detected strains in cooked meat is generally lower than that of the clinical strains. The monitoring of drug resistance of Proteus mirabilis should be continuously strengthened, which is of great significance for guiding the rational use of drugs in clinical practice and delaying the emergence of drug-resistant strains.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on the conventional treatment. METHODS: A total of 35 patients with COVID-19 of mild or ordinary type were involved (3 cases dropped off). Acupuncture was applied on the basis of western medicine and Chinese materia medica treatment. Dazhui (GV 14), Fengchi (GB 20), Kongzui (LU 6), Hegu (LI 4), etc. were selected as the main acupoints, the supplementary acupoints and the reinforcing and reducing manipulations were selected according to syndrome differentiation. Acupuncture treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week. On day 3 and day 7 of acupuncture, relief condition of the main symptoms was observed. Before acupuncture and on day 3 and day 7 of acupuncture, efficacy evaluation scale of TCM on COVID-19 (efficacy evaluation scale) score was recorded. The effects of different intervention time of acupuncture on patients' hospitalization time were compared, the understanding of acupuncture treatment of patients discharged from hospital was recorded, the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment were evaluated. RESULTS: On day 3 and day 7 of acupuncture, the symptoms of lung system and non lung system were both relieved; the scores of efficacy evaluation scale were both decreased compared before acupuncture (P<0.05), and the efficacy evaluation scale score of day 7 of acupuncture were lower than day 3 of acupuncture (P<0.05). The average hospitalization time of patients received early acupuncture was shorter than late acupuncture (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 84.4% (27/32) on day 7 of acupuncture, which was higher than 34.4% (11/32) on day 3 of acupuncture (P<0.05). During the acupuncture treatment, there were neither adverse reactions in patients nor occupational exposures in doctors. The patients generally believed that acupuncture could promote the recovery of COVID-19 and recommended acupuncture treatment. CONCLUSION On the basis of the conventional treatment, acupuncture can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms in patients with COVID-19, early intervention of acupuncture can accelerate the recovery process. Acupuncture has good safety, clinical compliance and recognition of patients.

Malocclusion is one of the three most common oral diseases reported by World Health Organization(WHO). In China, its incidence rate is rising. Malocclusion seriously affects the dental and maxillofacial function, facial appearance and growth development of nearly 260 million children in China, and what is more, it affects their physical and mental health development. Malocclusion occurrence is related to genetic and environmental factors. Early treatment of malocclusion can create a good dental and maxillofacial development environment, correct abnormal growth and control the adverse effects of abnormal genetic factors. It can effectively reduce the prevalence of children's malocclusion and enhance their physical and mental health. This is an urgent need from the economic perspective of our society, so it has great practical and social significance. Experts from the project group "standard diagnose and treatment protocols for early orthodontic intervention of malocclusions of children" which initiated by China National Health Institute of Hospital Administration wrote the "China Experts' Consensus on Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontic Treatments of Malocclusions of Children", which aims to guide and popularize the clinical practice, improve the clinical theory and practice level, and accelerate the disciplinary development of early treatment of children's malocclusion in China. The consensus elaborates the harmfulness of malocclusion and the necessity of early treatment, and brings up the principles and fundamental contents. Based on the law of dental and maxillofacial development, this paper puts forward the guiding suggestions of preventive and interceptive treatments in different stages of dental development ranging from fetus to early permanent dentition. It is a systematic project to promote and standardize the early treatment of malocclusion. Through scientific and comprehensive stratified clinical practice and professional training, the clinical system of early treatment of malocclusion in China will eventually be perfected, so as to comprehensively care for children's dental and maxillofacial health, and improve their oral and physical health in China.

Objective:To analysis effectiveness of the "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and "nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy (combined screening strategy) for screenin the imported patients with COVID-19 in Xiamen.Methods:The study populations were overseas travelers arriving in Xiamen from March 17 to December 31, 2020, and overseas travelers who had quarantine outside Xiamen for less than 21 days from July 18 to December 31, 2020. Data were collected and analyzed on the timing of detection, pathways, and test results of the imported patients with COVID-19 after implementing combined screening strategy.Results:A total of 304 imported patients with COVID-19 were found from 174 628 overseas travelers and 943 overseas travelers from other cities. A total of 163 cases (53.6%) were diagnosed by multitime, multisite intensive nucleic acid testing after positive finding in total antibody testing. Among them, 27 (8.9%) were first positive for nucleic acid in 14 plus 7 day quarantine and 136 were first positive for nucleic acid in 14-day quarantine. Only 8 of these individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after positive total antibody testing. The other 128 individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after being negative for average 2.3 times (maximum of 6 times). Aditional 155 cases might be detected by using the combined "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and " nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy compared with "14-day quarantine and nucleic acid testing" strategy, accounting for 51.0% of the total inbound infections. So the combined screening strategy doubled the detection rate for imported patients with COVID-19. No second-generation case caused by overseas travelers had been reported in Xiamen as of February 26, 2021.Conclusions:Xiamen's combined screening strategy can effectively screen the imported patients with COVID-19 who were first positive for nucleic acid after 14 day quarantine. Compared with "14 day quarantine and nucleic acid testing", the combined screening strategy improved detection rate and further reduced the risk of the secondary transmission caused by the imported patients with COVID-19.

Objective::To observe the clinical efficacy of Changyanqing mixture on chronic recurrent ulcerative colitis (UC) with damp-heat syndrome of large intestine and the effect on the recurrence of disease, in order to discuss the mechanism of action in terms of the neuro-endocrine-immune inflammation network. Method::One hundred and twelve patients were randomly divided into control group (55 cases) and observation group (57 cases) by random number table. Patients in control group got mesalazine slow release tablets, 0.1 g/time, 4 times/days, and those the score of Mayo≥7 were added with prednisone acetate tablets, 0.75 mg·kg^-1·d^-1, and bifidobacterium viable powder with warm water after dinner, 1 pack/day, 2 times/days. In addition to the therapy of control group, patients in observation group were also given Changyanqing mixture in the morning and evening, 1 pack/day. A course of treatment was 6 weeks, and patients got further consultation once a week. During the remission stage, patients in both groups got mesalazine slow release tablets, 0.5 g/time, 3 times/days, and patients in observation group were added with Changyanqing mixture until the score of damp-heat syndrome of large intestine reduced by more than 90%. The number of patients entering the remission stage of 6 weeks and the time of remission stage were recorded. Before and after treatment, colonoscopy was detected, and Geboes index, Baron, damp-heat syndrome of large intestine and Mayo were scored. And levels of peripheral blood interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), motilin (MTL) and neuropeptide (NPY) were detected, and relapse at the 24-week follow-up was recorded. Result::After the 6-week treatment, the clinical efficacy in observation group was 100%, which was higher than 89.09%in control group (P<0.05). And the healing rate of mucosa was 96.4%, which was higher than 81.82%in control group (P<0.05). And the response rate in two groups was 100%. At the 6^th month after the treatment, the clinical remission rate in observation group was 91.23%, which was higher than 76.36%in control group (χ²=4.581, P<0.05). And the average remission time was shorter than that in control group (P<0.01). After treatment, scores of colonic mucosa, Geboes index, colonic mucosa and Mayo were all lower than those in control group (P<0.01). And levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, VIP and MTL were lower than those in control group (P<0.01), while levels of IL-10 and NPY were higher than those in control group (P<0.01). The relapse rate in observation group was 17.54%, which was lower than 38.18%in control group (χ²=5.955, P<0.05). And the mean recurrence time was longer than that in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion::In addition to the routine western medicine therapy, Changyanqing mixture can alleviate the condition of patients by shortening the course of the disease, reducing the recurrence rate, delaying the recurrence time, and regulating the nerve-endocrine-immune inflammation network.
