      Abstract:Objective To investigate the mechanism of water-soluble propolis (WSP) in relieving dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced intestinal inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC) rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:CON, DSS, L-WSP, M-WSP, H-WSP. By measuring disease activity index (DAI) score, colon length, small intestinal mucosa permeability and histological score (HS) of rats, the degree of intestinal inflammation injury in each group was evaluated. ELISA was used to detect the level of IL-6, IL-9 and TNF-α in colon homogenate of rats. Results Compared with CON group, DSS group experienced severe weight loss, loose stools, and bloody stools, shortened colon length, and increased HS(P<0.05). While compared with DSS group, M-WSP group and H-WSP group were significantly improved (P<0.01,P<0.05). Compared with CON group, the content of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-9 and TNF-α in colon tissue homogenate in DSS group increased significantly(P<0.05), while decreased significantly in M-WSP group and H-WSP group compared with CON group(P<0.01,P<0.05). Conclusion WSP can improve the intestinal mucosal barrier function and reduce intestinal inflammation by reducing the levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-9 and TNF-α.

The 32 strains of Listeria monocytogenes were classified into six serotypes (1/2a, 1/2b, 1/2c, 4ab, 3a and 4b), and the dominant serotype was 1/2a. 32 strains were divided into 17 molecular patterns by digestion with AscⅠand pulsed field gel electrophoresis, and each pattern contains 1-10 strains with similarity ranged 55.8%-100.0%. There were 4 water samples, and the total number of colonies and the coliform was all less than 1 CFU/mL, which met the requirements according to the national standard for drinking water. Conclusion There were common sources or cross-contamination in the environment and foods, microbial contamination could be effectively controlled after cooking, however, there were still deficiencies in other aspects. Therefore, it is suggested to further strengthen the management of product division, strengthen the disinfection treatment of ground and operators, and stipulate reasonable production processing and storage period.

      Abstract:Objective This paper aim to investigate dibutyl phthalate(DBP) concentration level in edible vegetable oil sold in Shanghai, and to evaluate the dietary exposure risk of local residents. Methods By combining monitoring data of DBP in edible vegetable oil sold in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019 with the dietary consumption data of residents, the dietary exposure of DBP in edible vegetable oil was assessed via point assessment method. Results A total of 1 248 DBP samples in edible vegetable oil were tested from 2015 to 2019, the overall unqualified rate was 3.4%(43/1 248), and the mean concentration was (0.34±2.15) mg/kg. According to the annual statistics, the unqualified rate showed an upward trend of fluctuation and reached 4.4%(13/295) in 2019. According to the statistics of edible vegetable oil varieties, DBP contamination levels in walnut oil, sesame oil and rapeseed oil were relatively serious, with the unqualified rate of 28.6%(6/21), 10.5%(20/190) and 9.2%(8/87), respectively. The mean and 97.5 percentile daily DBP intake from edible vegetable oil in general population were 0.23 and 0.40 μg/kg BW, accounting for 2.3% and 4.0% of tolerable daily intake(TDI, 10 μg/kg BW), respectively. Conclusion The health risk of DBP intake from edible vegetable oil was relatively low and acceptable for Shanghai residents.

      Abstract:Objective To explore the blood arsenic exposure levels of preschool children and analyze the factors of blood arsenic. Methods By the multi-stage cluster and simple randomized method, six districts of Shanghai City was chosen and the preschool children in the selected village were asked to fill in the questionnaire and have blood sampling. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS)was used to detect blood arsenic, of which the data was analyzed by multiple linear regression models. Marine fish, freshwater fish, freshwater shrimp and shellfish were grouped as follows:≤3 times per month, 1-3 times per week, and 4-6 times per week. Rice, noodles and milk were grouped as <50,50-100, and ≥100 g/d. Results 2 263 preschool children were recruited. The range of blood arsenic was 0.12-27.94 μg/L. The median (P25,P75) were 2.26(1.63,3.09) μg/L. Statistical analysis showed that the more intake of rice, wheaten food, and sea fish and shrimp, the more arsenic in children's blood(P<0.05). Whereas highter intake of freshwater fish and shrimp group showed decreased blood arsenic(P<0.05). Conclusion Most preschool children's blood arsenic levels(92.4%, 2 091/2 263) were at normal level (<5 μg/L). There was a positive correlation between blood arsenic concentration and the intake of rice, wheaten food, and sea fish and shrimp, while negative correlation with high freshwater fish and shrimp consumption.

      Abstract:Objective To obtain the comprehensive evaluation from stakeholders by carrying out special follow-up evaluation on national food safety standards, so as to provide reference for further improvement of China's national food safety standards system. Methods Questionnaire was designed, and the opinions of stakeholders were collected through National Food Safety Standards Follow-up Evaluation and Feedback Platform. Excel 2013 was used to sort out the original data and make descriptive statistical analysis. Results The analysis of 5 467 questionnaires showed that more than 90% of the respondents thought that the food classification in the current national food safety general standards was clear and the limits were scientific and reasonable. The food products could be covered by the corresponding food safety standards and code of practice standards. The comprehensive score of food safety product standards was 4.37 (out of 5), and the comprehensive score of code of practice standards was 4.42 (out of 5). Conclusion China's current food safety standards system framework is basically perfect, and the convergence between standards is smooth. The coverage rate of general standards, product standards and code of practice standards for all kinds of food products exceeds 90%, and the system setting is reasonable and perfect. It is suggested to further improve the national food safety standard system, make full use of the result of food safety standard follow-up evaluation, and continue to actively explore follow-up evaluation method to be brought in line with international practice.

      Abstract:Objective To investigate a food poisoning events occurred in multiple schools at the same time,and analyze pathogenic factor, contaminated food and source, in order to guide clinical treatment and preventive measures. Methods Based on the investigation of clinical characteristics and epidemiological distribution of patients, homology analysis of Salmonella from different sources was carried out with the combination of pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) in the laboratory. Results Totally 37 suspected cases were found from 4 school in different districts, 19 cases were diagnosed. The main clinical features of the patients were diarrhea (70.27%, 26/37), fever (54.05%,20/37), abdominal pain (51.35%,19/37) and vomiting (37.84%,17/37). A total of 24 strains of Salmonella Enteritidis were isolated in the laboratory, of which 19 strains were from cases and 5 strains were from sandwiches and their dried meat floss. According to PFGE, 24 strains of Salmonella Enteritidis were clustered to 100.00%. The drug resistance rate of 19 cases was 100.00% to nalidixic acid and 5.26%(1/19) to cefoxitin and imipenem. Conclusion Combined with the clinical feature, epidemiological investigation and laboratory test results, it was confirmed that the main cause of the incident was the raw material of the sandwich which was contaminated by Salmonella Enteritidis. It is suggested that the regulatory department should strengthen the supervision of the school catering company, improve the food safety awareness and prevent the foodborne disease.
