ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the infection status and epidemic characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus diarrhea cases in Shanghai in recent years， and to explore its influencing factors and provide a basis for the prevention and control of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. Methods Food-borne disease surveillance data in Shanghai from 2017 to 2018 was collected， and the infection status and epidemic characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were analyzed. χ 2 test and multivariate unconditional logistic regression were used to analyze the factors of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. Results Among the food-borne surveillance cases in Shanghai from 2017 to 2018， the positive detection rate of Vibrio parahaemolyticus reached 5.1%， and the positive cases were concentrated in July， August， and September. Those working in the catering industry， migrant workers and workers， and the young and middle-aged people （19‒59 years old） have a high incidence. The results of multivariate analysis showed that dining in Qingpu， Songjiang or Minhang District， occupations of migrant workers and workers， age over 19 years old， the third quarter of a year， and the consumption of aquatic animals and related foods are risk factors for Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. Conclusion The infection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Shanghai is still one of the food-borne diseases that warrant our attention. Strengthening food safety management and supervision， and promoting publicity and education for key populations are important for reducing the risk of infection by this pathogen. At the same time， long-term monitoring of infectious diarrhea cases in this city is necessary to dynamically understand the infection and epidemic characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus ， and adjust the annual prevention and control measures in time.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the epidemic character of injuries among rural left-behind children, so as to provide evidence for strategies and processes on preventing injuries. Methods Using stratified cluster sampling, a town was randomly selected from each of the two layers with different economic development levels in Qingxin district, Qingyuan city, Guangdong Province. The local left-behind children of 3-9 grades from 3 elementary schools and 3 middle schools were randomly selected from the local area. The student self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate the occurrence of injuries, personal circumstances, family environment and school situation in the past year. Data of injury situation, personal situation, family situation and school situation during last year were analysed by Chi-square and multiple logistic analysis. Results Injuries were reported to occur in 440 left-behind children, with an injury rate of 17.5%. Significant difference of injury rate was observed between groups divided by grades, being only-child in family, health conditions, anxiety, getting along with other students, teacher’s attitude to students, emphasizing security by teachers, knowledge level about injury, and injury-relative behaviors (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression model results suggested that middle school, physical health, behavioral level, and relationship with classmates are protective factors, anxiety is a risk factor (OR=1.262,95%CI:1.009~1.577,P=0.041). Conclusions We have to take some comprehensive methods to prevent injuries that are influenced by all kinds of factors. While constructing an advantage circumstance to left-behind children, their awareness of security should also be improved to reduce the occurrence of injuries.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the epidemiologic characters of influenza in Shanghai from 2013 to 2015 . Methods Data of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness ( ILI ) were collected through influenza surveillance hospitals .Pathogenic surveillance to part of ILI samples was conducted . Results From 2013 to 2015, the ILI consultation rate ranged from 0.68%~3.73%, with an average rate of 1 .46%.In total 51 445 samples were collected , and 12673 samples were positive , with the positive rate of 24 .63%.The ratio of the patient visited for ILI aged from 25 to 60 was higher than other groups . Conclusion The peak of epidemic of influenza in Shanghai was in winter and summer .The ratio of the patients visited for ILI aged over 60 increased with years .More measures should be taken to protect the elder people .
