Estimated assessment of dietary exposure to artificial sweeteners from processed food in Nanjing, China.

The objective of this study was to measure the concentrations of three intensity sweeteners (Acesulfame-K, cyclamate and saccharin) in different categories of food available on the Nanjing market, and to investigate whether the Nanjing general population was at risk for exceeding the ADI of sweeteners. A set of 1885 foods was collected and analysed using the National Food Safety Standard procedure in order to establish the concentration levels of the sweeteners. Dietary exposure was estimated using probabilistic modelling software and compared directly with each sweetener's ADI.

Sevoflurane protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice after total knee arthroplasty via facilitating RASD1-mediated protein kinase A pathway activation.

This study aimed to explore effects of Sevoflurane on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To explore potential molecular mechanism, Ras related dexamethasone induced 1 (RASD1), a Protein kinase A (PKA) activator, frequently associated with various models of I/R injury, was also investigated. mouse models with I/R injury after TKA and cell models with I/R injury were induced.

Detection of antibiotics in the urine of children and pregnant women in Jiangsu, China.

Exposure to low concentrations of antibiotics links to multiple health hazards, such as drug resistance of bacteria, and childhood obesity. In this study, seven antibiotics were measured in the urine of 107 children and 126 pregnant women in Jiangsu Province by ultra-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The overall urinary antibiotics detection rate was 38.

[Theoretical risk assessment for dietary exposure to sodium saccharin among residents in Nanjing City].

Objective: To evaluate the potential risk of dietary exposure to sodium saccharin among residents in Nanjing City, and provide scientific evidence for safety surveillance and risk management in processed foods.

Methods: Based on the survey of dietary consumption of residents in Nanjing City, combining with the limits of sodium saccharin in processed foods(GB 2760-2014), using @Risk software to establish the cumulative dietary exposure in a probabilistic way, and compared with the acceptable daily intake(ADI) for risk assessment.

Results: The average exposure of sodium saccharin of residents was 0.

Fatty acid and mineral contents of Murr. and antioxidant activity against isoproterenol-induced acute myocardial ischemia in mice.

Dried fruits of black goji were investigated for their fatty acid, mineral contents, and antioxidant activity against isoproterenol-induced acute myocardial ischemia in mice was revealed. It was observed that the key fatty acids from Murr. (LRM) oil studied included linoleic (59.

[Prevalence and epidemic characteristics of metabolic syndrome among adult residents in Nanjing City in 2010-2013].

Objective: To understand the prevalence and epidemic characteristics of metabolic syndrome(MS) among adult residents in Nanjing City.

Methods: In 2010-2013, a total of 4918 adult residents in Nanjing City were surveyed using a multi-stage stratification and population proportional clustering random sampling method. Questionnaires, physical examinations and laboratory examinations were conducted to collect the basic conditions, health history of the subjects and related indicators including height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, etc.

Outbreak of Haff disease caused by consumption of crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in nanjing, China.

Context: This paper reports a detailed epidemiological investigation of a large Haff disease outbreak in Nanjing, China, including laboratory analysis of water, river sediment, and fish.

Methods: Structured questionnaires were administered to all case-patients. An unmatched case-control study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the incidence of Haff disease.

An Investigation of an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak: , a Potential Cause of Food-Borne Illness.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been widely used in traceability of food-borne outbreaks nowadays. Here, an interesting connection between and food-borne acute gastroenteritis (AGE) was noticed. In October 2016, an AGE outbreak affecting 156 cases occurred in a local senior high school.

Association of dietary sodium:potassium ratio with the metabolic syndrome in Chinese adults.

Several epidemiological studies have investigated that Na or K intakes might be associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, little evidence has evaluated the association between Na:K ratio and the MetS. In this study, we assessed the association between the dietary Na:K ratio and the MetS.

Next generation sequencing for the investigation of an outbreak of Salmonella Schwarzengrund in Nanjing, China.

Introduction: Salmonella Schwarzengrund is most frequently isolated from poultry meat and can cause human infections. S. Schwarzengrund was isolated from diarrheal patients in a food poisoning event in Nanjing, China.

Genetic characterization of emergent GII.17 norovirus variants from 2013 to 2015 in Nanjing, China.

During the 2014/15 winter season, a newly emergent GII.P17-GII.17 variant overwhelmed currently dominant GII.

[Phylogenetic Analyses and Characterization of the VP7 Genes of Serotype G9 Rotaviruses Circulating in Nanjing (China), 2012-2013].

Group-A rotaviruses are recognized as the most common cause of acute diarrhea. Phylogenetic analyses of the VP7 genes of rotaviruses circulating in Nanjing (China) could aid in the development of rotavirus vaccines. A total of 908 stool specimens were collected from patients suffering from acute diarrhea in Nanjing between October 2012 and December 2013, and were tested further for rotaviruses.
