ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The effect of incretins including dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4-Is) and glucagon-like peptide1 receptor agonists (GLP1-ras) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes increasing the risk of fracture remains controversial. No meta-analysis has been written to discuss this from the prospective interventional studies. The objective was to evaluate the association between the use of incretins and fracture risk. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Multiple databases were searched for original articles that investigated the relationship between the use of incretin agents and fracture risk, up to December 2019. Trials using the Mantel-Haenszel method to calculate OR and 95% CI were pooled. The multiple sensitivity, heterogeneity, publication bias, and quality were analysed among the studies to evaluate the robustness of results. RESULTS: The fixed-effects model was used on account of the I² test for heterogeneity (I² = 0.0%). Incretins were not associated with fracture risk [0.97 (95% CI: 0.88-1.08)]. But in the subgroup analysis, when sitagliptin 100 mg per day (OR 0.495, 95% CI: 0.304-0.806) or liraglutide 1.8 mg per day was administered (OR 0.621, 95% CI: 0.413-0.933), it reduced fracture risk. The sensitivity analysis and publication bias prompted the robustness of results. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis suggested that the current use of incretins not only is safe for fracture in type 2 diabetes patients from RCT studies, but also, when sitagliptin 100 mg or liraglutide 1.8 mg per day was administered, it may exhibit protective effects on bone metabolism.

ABSTRACT

Heat stress is one of the major agro-meteorological hazards that affect maize production significantly in the farming region of Northeast China (NFR). This study analyzed the temporal and spatial changes of the accumulated temperature above 30 °C (AT) and the accumulated days with the maximum temperature above 30 °C (AD) in different maize growing phases under global warming. It further evaluated the impacts of extreme heat on maize yield in different regions, and put forward some adaptation measures to cope with heat stress for maize production in NFR. The results showed that during 1961 to 2010, the temperature in the maize growing season increased significantly. The maximum temperature in flowering phase was much larger than that in the other growing phases. Temperature increased at rates of 0. 16, 0. 14, 0.06 and 0.23 °C every ten years in the whole maize growing season, vegetative growth phase (from sowing to 11 days before flowering), flowering phase, and late growth phase (from 11 days after flowering to maturity), respectively. The AT in the whole maize growing season increased in NFR during the last 50 years with the highest in the southwest part of NFR, and that in the vegetative growth phase increased faster than in the other two phases. The AD in the whole maize growing season increased during the last 50 years with the highest in the southwest part of NFR, and that in the late growth phase increased faster than in the other two phases. Heat stress negatively affected maize yield during the maize growing season, particularly in the vegetative growth phase. The heat stress in Songliao Plain was much higher in comparison to the other regions. The adaptation measures of maize production to heat stress in NFR included optimizing crop structure, cultivating high temperature resistant maize varieties, improving maize production management and developing the maize production system that could cope with disasters.

ABSTRACT

To screen aerobic heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria from various samples and detect metabolites quantitatively during their denitrification process. The bacteria were screened by limit dilution and crossed separation. Nitrate and nitrite were determined using phenol disulfonic acid and N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylene diamine by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The N2 was detected by gas chromatography. Six aerobic heterotrophic bacteria were isolated and YY-5 was demonstrated to be the greatest denitrifer. The degradation rate of its hydroxylamine oxidoreductase can reached to 70.9%. Above all, there is a good balance between the removal of total nitrogen and production of N2 in process. No N2O was produced and no nitrate or nitrite were accumulated. The high ability of aerobic heterotrophic bacterium YY-5 for denitrification was screened, which showed higher homology with Acinetobacter genus through 16S rRNA blast.

ABSTRACT

We describe the isolation of Laribacter hongkongensis in Hangzhou City, People's Republic of China. One strain of bacterium, named LHHZ242, had many of the same phenotypic and genotypic characteristics as Laribacter hongkongensis described in previous publications. This discovery proves that Laribacter hongkongensis is also associated with community-acquired gastroenteritis outside Hong Kong.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To study whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) could be excreted from digestive system. METHODS: Cell culture and semi-nested RT-PCR were used to detect SARS-CoV and its RNA from 21 stool and urine samples, and a kind of electropositive filter media particles was used to concentrate the virus in 10 sewage samples from two hospitals receiving SARS patients in Beijing in China. RESULTS: It was demonstrated that there was no live SARS-CoV in all samples collected, but the RNA of SARS-CoV could be detected in seven stool samples from SARS patients with any one of the symptoms of fever, malaise, cough, or dyspnea, in 10 sewage samples before disinfection and 3 samples after disinfection from the two hospitals. The RNA could not be detected in urine and stool samples from patients recovered from SARS. CONCLUSION: Nucleic acid of SARS-CoV can be excreted through the stool of patients into sewage system, and the possibility of SARS-CoV transmitting through digestive system cannot be excluded.

ABSTRACT

The transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is associated with close contact to SARS patients and droplet secretions of those patients. The finding of positive RT-PCR results from stools of SARS patients suggests that stools of SARS patients or sewage containing stools of patients could transmit SARS-CoV. We used a novel style of electropositive filter media particle to concentrate the SARS-CoV from the sewage of two hospitals receiving SARS patients in Beijing. We also used cell culture, RT-PCR and gene sequencing to detect and identify the viruses from sewage. No infectious SARS-CoV contamination was found in any of the samples collected, but the nucleic acid of SARS-CoV could be detected in the sewage from the two hospitals before disinfection. While the RNA was only detected in three samples from the 309th Hospital, the others were negative after disinfection. These findings provide strong evidence that SARS-CoV can be excreted through the stool/urine of patients into sewage system, thus making the sewage system a possible route of transmission.

ABSTRACT

In this study, the persistence of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was observed in feces, urine and water. In addition, the inactivation of SARS-CoV in wastewater with sodium hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide was also studied. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the virus could only persist for 2 days in hospital wastewater, domestic sewage and dechlorinated tap water, while 3 days in feces, 14 days in PBS and 17 days in urine at 20 degrees C. However, at 4 degrees C, the SARS-CoV could persist for 14 days in wastewater and at least 17 days in feces or urine. SARS-CoV is more susceptible to disinfectants than Escherichia coli and f2 phage. Free chlorine was found to inactivate SARS-CoV better than chlorine dioxide. Free residue chlorine over 0.5 mg/L for chlorine or 2.19 mg/L for chlorine dioxide in wastewater ensures complete inactivation of SARS-CoV while it does not inactivate completely E. coli and f2 phage.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: In order to explore the existence of SARS coronavirus (Co-V) and/or its RNA in sewage of hospitals administered SARS patients. METHODS: A novel electropositive filter was used to concentrate the SARS-CoV from the sewage of two hospitals administered SARS patients in Beijing, including twelve 2,500 ml sewage samples from the hospitals before disinfection, and ten 25,000 ml samples after disinfection; as well as cell culture, RT-PCR and sequencing of gene to detect and identify the viruses from sewage. RESULTS: There was no live SARS-CoV detected in the sewage in this study. The nucleic acid of SARS-CoV had been found in the 12 sewage samples before disinfection from both hospitals by semi-nested PCR. After disinfection, SARS-CoV RNA could only be detected from the samples from the 309th Hospital, and the others were negative. CONCLUSION: It provides evidence that there is no live SARS-Cov in the sewage from hospitals with SARS patients though SARS-CoV RNA can be detected.
