Abstract:Objective To analyze the influencing factors of Salmonella contamination, the serotype distribution and molecular typing of Salmonella isolates in meat products in Yibin city were studied.Methods A total of 29 Salmonella strains isolated from commercial meat products in Yibin city of from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed by slide agglutination test for serotype and pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) for molecular subtyping. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was carried out on the effects of geographical distribution, sample source and sales mode on the detection composition of Salmonella serogroup.Results Fourteen serotypes and 4 serogroups were detected in the Salmonella isolates. The dominant bacteria were Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella give and Salmonella enteritidis. The PFGE cluster analysis showed 18 genotype. The genotypes of Salmonella enteritidis were highly homologous with similarity index of 100%, indicating the same source. Salmonella typhimurium with 4 genotypes and Salmonella give with 2 genotypes both had lower similarity. Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that the risk factor on serogroup D of Salmonella was geographical distribution (OR=1.053, P<0.05). The risk factors on serogroup E of Salmonella were sample source (OR=3.887, P<0.05) and geographical distribution (OR=1.227, P<0.05).Conclusion The poultry breeding sites and sample source are risk factors for Salmonella infection, and the hygienic inspection should be reinforced accordingly.

Abstract:Objective To provide data basis for nutrition evaluation and improving measures for preschool children with food allergy, the current situation of food allergy, the eating habits and dietary characteristics of preschool children in Shanghai were analyzed.Methods A total of 5 215 preschool children aged 3-6 years old were selected by stratified cluster sampling, covering 15 kindergartens in 6 districts of Shanghai (Hongkou, Jing’an, Xuhui, Minhang, Jiading and Chongming District). The demographic characteristics, feeding environment, food allergy and food habits was collected from children’s parents by electronic questionnaires.Results The self-reported food allergy in preschool children accounted for 16.8%. The highest proportion of allergenic food was aquatic products (including fish, shrimp and seafood etc.) (7.2%), followed by eggs (5.3%), milk or dairy products (4.2%), fruits (2.4%), nuts (2.1%), beans (0.5%), meat (0.5%), flour (0.4%) and vegetables (0.4%). Among the children with food allergy, 61.8% were allergic to one type of food only, and 24.9% were allergic to at least two types of food. Children with allergies to aquatic products and fruits tended to have a single food allergy, while those with allergies to eggs, milk and nuts tended to have a combination of two or more food allergies. Compared with children without food allergy, food allergic children had reduced consuming frequency of sensitized food but increased frequency of alternative food.Conclusion There was a high proportion of parental reports on food allergy in preschool children in Shanghai. The main allergenic food was aquatic products, eggs, milk or dairy products and fruits. Children allergic to aquatic products tended to be single-type food allergy, while those allergic to egg, milk and nut tended to be allergic to multiple foods. Children with food allergy had obvious food avoidance behavior but potentially increased the intake of alternative food.

Abstract:Objective To identify and detect the diarrheagenic virulence genes of Aeromonas hydrophila in ready-to-eat seafood sold in Macao.Methods Aeromonas hydrophila were isolated from 80 ready-to-eat seafood samples of crustaceans, fish, shellfish and cephalopods. And they were identified by real-time polymerase chain reaction based on 16S rRNA gene. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the diarrheagenic virulence genes in the isolated strains.Results Fifty seven of the 80 samples (71.25%) were positive with Aeromonas hydrophila. Among the positive samples, 6 of the samples (10.53%) were detected with diarrheagenic toxic genes. Among 6 strains which carried toxic genes, 4 strains carried 2 toxic genes and 2 strains carried only 1 toxic gene. Four strains carried alt (7.02%), followed by 3 strains with aerA (5.36%), 2 strains with ast (3.51%), and only 1 strain with act (1.75%). After Chi-square test and analysis, there was no direct relationship between the detection rate and 4 types of ready-to-eat seafood(P>0.05). In addition, 13 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila were isolated from 15 cooked samples.Conclusion The high isolation rate of Aeromonas hydrophila may be due to contamination caused by improper packaging, transport and processing. The detection of toxic genes was low, but the risk cannot be ignored and integrated monitoring based on food chain is important.

Abstract:Objective To investigate and analyze the standardized management and clinical application of food for special medical purposes (FSMP) in secondary and above medical institutions of China.Methods In the form of online questionnaire, the medical institutions in 34 provinces / municipalities were sampled through the platforms of Sichuan Provincial Clinical Nutrition Quality Control Center and the Clinical Nutrition Discipline Alliance of West China Hospital.Results A total of 300 valid questionnaires were collected. In terms of FSMP management: 24.3% of medical institutions set up FSMP management committee; 64.3% of medical institutions formulated the catalogue of FSMP. Medical institutions with FSMP warehouses and FSMP preparation rooms accounted for 47.3% and 50.7%, respectively. 40.7% of medical institutions incorporated FSMP into information management; 43.3% of medical institutions charged unified coding fees. For clinical application of FSMP: 94% of medical institutions required nutrition risk screening before FSMP prescription; 84.7% of medical institutions required qualified prescribers; nearly 90% of medical institutions prescribed FSMP by nutritionists; 67.3% of medical institutions required the superior clinicians/ nutritionists to review the FSMP prescription before implementation. The adverse reaction of FSMP use was monitored in all 300 medical institutions, and only 30.7% reported the monitoring data of the adverse reactions to the provincial / municipal clinical nutrition quality control center.Conclusion The government should strengthen the construction of specialized fee catalogue and the unification of prescription qualification training; medical institutions at all levels, especially hospitals in the western region and secondary hospitals nationwide, should set up FSMP management committee as soon as possible, and integrate FSMP into the hospital information system. The clinical nutrition discipline should strengthen the formulation of clinical norms, detailed rules for the application of FSMP and supervision system. Safety monitoring and effectiveness evaluation should be strengthened so as to maximize the value of nutritional treatment of FSMP.

The best prediction model was ARIMA(1,0,0)(1,0,2)12. The Bess Information Criterion (BIC) was 96.66, and the model residual was a white noise sequence (P>0.05). The predicted incidence rate of the model was roughly consistent with the actual incidence trend, and the overall root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.656. The efficacy of the model was verified by the data in 2021. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) between the predicted value and the actual value was 11.25%. It showed that the model extrapolation effect was better.Conclusion The ARIMA(1,0,0)(1,0,2)12 model can be used for short-term prediction of the incidence trend of foodborne diseases in Jiangxi Province.

Abstract:Objective To provide scientific guidance for consumers to choose nutritious and cheap foods, the association between street food prices and nutritional value in Wuhan was analyzed.Methods One gourmet street was randomly selected from Jianghan, Jiang’an and Wuchang District of Wuhan City, respectively. Fifty two kinds of street foods of 6 types (barbecue, frying, steaming, baking, beverage and cold food) were selected, and the prices were recorded. After analyzing the nutrient components through standard testing in laboratory and using nutrition calculators, energy prices and the average price of nutrient-rich food (NRF6.3) index was calculated. The correlation between unit price and NRF6.3 index was analyzed by Spearman rank sum test.Results Baked food had the highest energy density, reaching 308.41 kcal/100 g, while beverages had the lowest energy density, reaching 79.35 kcal/100 g(P<0.001). The energy price was the highest for barbecue (22.47 yuan/100 kcal). And the energy prices of steaming, frying, drinks, baking and cold food were 2.15, 4.88, 3.56, 3.95 and 5.61 yuan/100 kcal. The average price of NRF6.3 index was -2.90/yuan. The food with the highest NRF6.3 index that one yuan could buy was cold food (2.43), and the lowest was steaming food (-11.09). Besides, the price of street food was significant positively correlated with protein (P<0.001), dietary fiber (P=0.014) and fat (P=0.001), and significant negatively correlated with added sugar (P<0.001). There was no rank correlation between the unit price and its NRF6.3 index among 6 types of foods (P>0.05).Conclusion The overall price of street food in Wuhan is relatively high with high energy density, while the price of NRF6.3 index is low. This results suggest that, for the same price, the recommended nutrient content of street food is not high, and the nutritional value is low, which does not meet the requirements of a healthy diet.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the breakfast behaviors and influential factors in primary and secondary school students in poor rural areas of Hubei Province, and provide scientific basis for carrying out nutrition improvement plan for rural students in 2019.Methods Based on stratified random cluster sampling method, 2 primary and 2 secondary schools were selected based on 3 food supply modes (school, outsource, and family) in 2 key monitoring counties of Hubei Province covered by nutrition improvement program for rural compulsory education students. One class with around 40 students were randomly extracted from each Grade from Grade 3 to Grade 9. Background information and breakfast behaviors were collected through questionnaire survey.Results The proportion of primary and secondary students having breakfast every day was 79.7% (1 273/1 598), and it was higher in the primarystudents than in the secondary students (83.9%,841/1 002 vs. 72.5%,432/596, P<0.01). The proportion of breakfast food reaching 3 kinds or more was only 18.8% (301/1 598), it was higher in the primary students than in the secondary students (21.4%,214/1 002 vs. 14.6%,87/596, P<0.01), and it was higher in the boys than in the girls (21.3%,170/800 vs. 16.4%,131/798, P<0.05). The proportion of primary and secondary students who consumed cereals and potato, meat and eggs, milk and bean, fruit and vegetables was respectively 89.9% (1 436/1 598), 35.4% (565/1 598), 28.0% (448/1 598) and 29.7% (475/1 598). The proportion of breakfast having cereals and potato, meat and eggs in primary students was less than that in secondary students (χ2=32.808 and 15.405, P<0.01); and the proportion of breakfast having milk and bean, fruit and vegetables in primary students was higher than that in secondary students (χ2=19.241 and 40.400, P<0.01). The results of multi-factor analysis showed that day students, girls and primary students had a higher risk of insufficient breakfast food categories than resident students, boys and primary students.Conclusion The breakfast consumption rate of primary and secondary students in poor rural areas of Hubei Province was relatively low, and the nutrition quality of breakfast was poor, especially for day students, girls and primary students. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition education and improve the frequency and quality of breakfast for primary and secondary students in poor areas.

Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of nutritional health knowledge, attitude and practice theory on seafarers’ health education intervention.Methods A total of 628 seafarers who underwent health check-up in two designated hospitals in Zhoushan in 2019 were selected as subjects. They were divided into two groups by cluster random sampling method. Nutritional health intervention with different methods was conducted for one year, followed by another health check-up in 2020 and 2021. Dietary nutritional status survey was carried out in both groups during physical examination.Results After intervention, the daily intake of grain, potato, mixed beans, vegetable, fruit, soybean and nut in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group, while the daily intake of edible oil in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The daily protein intake of sailors in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The abnormal detection rate of physical examination results after intervention was 76.0%, significantly lower than that before intervention (92.0%) (P<0.05). Topsis comprehensive evaluation showed that the Ci value of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group and closer to 1 (P<0.05).Conclusion Dietary nutritional status and physical examination results of seafarers can be improved by nutritional KAP intervention. Nutritional KAP intervention can effectively protect seafarers’ health.

Abstract:Listeria monocytogenes is a common foodborne pathogen widely exists in the environment. Sepsis, meningitis and mononucleosis are the cardinal symptom after Listeria monocytogenes infection, also leads to abortion, fetal death in utero and neonatal death. The pathogenicity of Listeria monocytogenes is closely related to its virulence genes and virulence islands, and its pathogenicity mechanism is the result of the participation of many virulence factors and the regulation of the complex network of regulatory factors. This review aims to explain the virulence genes and pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes.
