ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the research status of foodborne diseases in China from 1985 to 2022, and to explore the development process, research hotspots and frontier trends in this field. Methods With CNKI database as the search source, CiteSpace 6.1.R2 was used to analyze domestic research literature on foodborne diseases from 1985 to 2022. The author and organization cooperation map, and keyword co-occurrence and keyword timeline map were generated to comprehensively analyze the characteristics of foodborne diseases as well as research hotspots and cutting-edge trends in this field in China. Results A total of 2526 valid articles were obtained by exclusion criteria. According to the time distribution of articles from 1985-2022, the number of articles published before 2000 was small, and the annual number of articles published since 2000 had significantly increased. The largest number of articles was published by the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (51 articles), followed by the National Institution for Nutrition and Health of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (38 articles). Most of the studies were conducted by national or government level research institutions in cooperation with provincial disease control and prevention centers. There was a close cooperation among different agencies. By the keyword cluster analysis, it was found that monitoring, Salmonella, and food safety were the concentrated research areas. The burst detection of keywords showed that food poisoning, sentinel hospital, and epidemic characteristics had the strongest citation burst. In recent years, the research hotspots were serotyping, drug resistance, virulence genes and so on. These keywords could reflect the investigation speed and laboratory level from a perspective. Conclusion The research on foodborne diseases in China is constantly increasing, and the research focus is gradually shifting from simple monitoring to improving the speed of outbreak investigation and laboratory level and speeding up the molecular tracing network to prevent more foodborne diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To learn about the changing trend of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) and the iodine nutrition level of key populations in Fuzhou.Methods:From March 2017 to October 2019, a cross-sectional survey method was used to carry out IDD monitoring among key populations in 12 counties (cities, districts) of Fuzhou. In each county (city, district), one township/street was selected from five directions: East, West, South, North and Middle. Forty non-boarding children aged 8-10 (age balanced, half male and half female) from one primary school and 20 pregnant women in each township/street were selected as the survey subjects. The edible salt samples and instant urine samples of children and pregnant women were collected to detect the contents of salt iodine and urinary iodine; the thyroid volume of children was measured by B-ultrasound, and the goiter rate was calculated.Results:From 2017 to 2019, a total of 7 479 edible salt samples were collected from children's homes, and the median salt iodine was 23.40 mg/kg, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 94.06% (7 035/7 479), the qualified rate of iodized salt was 97.70% (6 873/7 035), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 91.90% (6 873/7 479). A total of 3 602 edible salt samples were collected from pregnant women's homes, and the median salt iodine was 23.69 mg/kg, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 94.73% (3 412/3 602), the qualified rate of iodized salt was 97.66% (3 332/3 412), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 92.50% (3 332/3 602). A total of 7 479 urine samples were collected from children, and the median urinary iodine was 172.70 μg/L. A total of 3 602 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, and the median urinary iodine was 131.21 μg/L. A total of 7 479 cases of thyroid gland in children were examined, including 89 cases of goiter, and the goiter rate was 1.19%.Conclusions:The consumption rate of qualified iodized salt ( > 90%) of key populations, urinary iodine (100-< 200 μg/L) and goiter rate ( < 5%) of children in Fuzhou are all in line with the national standard for elimination of IDD, but pregnant women are at risk of iodine deficiency (urinary iodine < 150 μg/L).
