Monitoring of foodborne pathogens in some ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables in Shanghai in 2021 / 上海预防医学

ObjectiveThe contamination of foodborne pathogens in ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables in Shanghai was analyzed to provide a scientific basis for food safety， risk assessment and related supervision. MethodsFrom June to September 2021， a total of 143 batches of12 kinds of ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables such as lettuce， chicory， and cherry tomatoes were collected from farmers’ markets， supermarkets， and e-commerce platforms. The total number of bacterial colonies， Salmonella， Listeria monocytogenes， Staphylococcus aureus， Cronobacter spp. and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in the samples were tested according to National Food Contamination and Harmfulness Risk Monitoring Manual. ResultsAmong the 143 batches， foodborne pathogens were detected in 68 batches， with a total detection rate of 47.55% （68/143）. A total of 79 strains of foodborne pathogens were detected. The detection rate of Staphylococcus aureus was the highest （32.87%， 47/143）， followed by Cronobacter spp. （20.98%， 30/143）， Salmonella （0.70%， 1/143）， Listeria monocytogenes （0.70%， 1/143）， Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli （0.00%）. Furthermore， the detection rate was higher in different ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables： chicory （17.33%）， cucumber （17.14%）， cherry tomatoes （16.00%）， and honeydew melon （15.38%）， respectively. Meanwhile， the contamination rate of pathogens in ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables from farmers’ markets， supermarkets， and e-commerce platforms was relatively high. ConclusionReady-to-eat fruits and vegetables in Shanghai are contaminated by foodborne pathogens. The prevention and control of the contamination of post-harvest fruits and vegetables should be strengthened to reduce the risk of foodborne disease outbreaks.

The relationship between ERK1/2 and p38 signaling pathway with the immune expression of diabetic based on MEBT/MEBO / 重庆医学

Objective To investigate the regulation on extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK )1/2 and p38 signaling pathways and immune expression by moist exposed burn therapy/moist exposed burn ointment(MEBT/MEBO)in diabetic foot and their relationship ,to explore the repair mechanism of MEBT/MEBO on diabetic foot ulcers .Methods Totally 40 diabetic foot pa‐tients were treated by MEBT/MEBO ,to take wound tissue before and after treatment and detect the expression of ERK 1/2 ,p38 , MAPKK6 ,c‐myc ,Akt ,ATF2 ,IgA ,IgM ,IgG ,C3c and C4c by immunohistochemistry ,to investigate their relationship .Results Af‐ter treatment with MEBT/MEBO ,the area of foot wounds in 39 patients was reduced in different degree .Only one patient had no obvious change .14 patients(35 .00% ) were markedly effective ,25 patients(62 .50% ) and 1 patient(2 .50% ) were ineffective .Before andaftertreatment,allpositiveexpression,positiveimmunoreactivity(anyindex)andpositiveexpression(specificindex)ofsignal pathway molecules were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .While the positive rate of molecular expression in wound pathway in‐creased ,the positive expression rate of immune factor increased .Before treatment ,a small amount of immune factors were found in the wound tissue .After treatment ,the immune factors IgA ,IgM ,IgG ,C3c ,C4c were distributed widely and diffusely .Before treat‐ment ,the wound tissue showed a very small number of signal molecules .After treatment ,the signal pathway molecules MEBT/MEBO and p38 ,MAPKK6 ,c‐myc ,Akt ,ATF2 showed broad and diffuse distribution .Conclusion MEBT/MEBO may promote the expression of ERK1/2 and p38 signaling molecules and immune in diabetic foot ,p38 and ERK1/2 signaling pathway may promote the healing of diabetic foot wound by increasing the expression of immune .
