RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the cadmium level of main food,and to preliminarily assess the risk of dietary cadmium exposure among residents in Yantai.Methods A total of 925 samples of 10 kinds of food groups were collected from 14 counties (or districts)of Yantai.Cadmium contents in food were determined according to GB/T 5009.15—2003,and then the provisional tolerable monthly intake (PTMI)and the margins of safety(MOS)of cadmium were calculated by combining the concentration of cadmium in foods with food consumption data.Results The concentration of cadmium in 10 kinds of food groups was 26.47 μg/kg.The concentration of cadmium in sea foods was 92.48 μg/kg,and that was the highest among the 10 kinds of food groups.The concentration of cadmium in pluck,flour and vegetables were 47.35,33.25, 18.87 μg/kg respectively.Monthly dietary cadmium exposure quantity of flour,sea food,vegetable and rice was 295.70 μg,38.11 μg,32.09 μg and 10.87 μg,respectively.Flour as a most important contributor,contributed 76.09% of the total dietary cadmium exposure.Conclusion The average dietary cadmium exposure from the main food did not exceed the PTMI and the MOS was more than 1,so the level of dietary cadmium exposure is safe.However,based on the largest consumption of flour in Yantai and the high contribution rate of flour of dietary cadmium exposure,more attention should be paid to the possible cadmium contaminated wheat.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the distribution and drug sensitivity of pathogens and risk factors for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in children with congenial heart disease (CAD) after surgery.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to the occurrence of VAP, 312 children with CAD who received mechanical ventilation after surgery for 48 hours or longer between January 2012 and December 2014 were classified into VAP (n=53) and non-VAP groups (n=259). Sputum samples were collected and cultured for pathogens in children with VAP. The drug sensitivity of pathogens was analyzed. The risk factors for postoperative VAP were identified by multiple logistic regression analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The sputum cultures were positive in 51 out of 53 children with VAP, and a total of 63 positive strains were cultured, including 49 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (78%), 9 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (14%) and 5 strains of funqi (8%). The drug sensitivity test showed that Gram-negative bacteria were resistant to amoxicillin, piperacillin, cefotaxime and ceftazidime, with a resistance rate of above 74%, and demonstrated a sensitivity to amikacin, polymyxin and meropenem (resistance rate of 19%-32%). Single factor analysis showed albumin levels, preoperative use of antibiotics, duration of mechanical ventilation, times of tracheal intubation, duration of anesthesia agent use, duration of acrdiopulmonary bypass, duration of aortic occlusion and use of histamin2-receptor blockade were significantly different between the VAP and non-VAP groups (P<0.05). The multiple logistic regression showed albumin levels (<35 g/L), duration of mechanical ventilation (≥ 7 d), times of tracheal intubation (≥ 3), duration of acrdiopulmonary bypass (≥ 100 minutes) and duation of aortic occlusion (≥ 60 minutes) were independent risk factors for VAP in children with CAD after surgery.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Gram-nagative bacteria are main pathogens for VAP in children with CAD after surgery. The antibiotics should be used based on the distribution of pathogens and drug sensitivity test results of pathogens. The effective measures for prevention of VAP should be taken according to the related risk factors for VAP to reduce the morbidity of VAP in children with CAD after surgery.</p>
