Mushroom Poisoning Outbreaks - China, 2020.

Summary: Acute liver failure, rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, and hemolysis caused by poisonous mushrooms are the most important mushroom poisoning threats to the Chinese population. The most notorious lethal mushrooms are the species from genera , , and that cause acute liver failure, and that leads to rhabdomyolysis.

Unlabelled: In 2020, the total number of investigations reached 676, involving an estimated 102 species of poisonous mushrooms, 24 of which were newly recorded in China.

Waterborne Arsenic Poisoning Caused by Discarded Slags - Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, China, 2018.

Overexposure to arsenic is toxic and affects bodily systems. In severe cases, loss of motor function and death can occur. At the end of 2018, a waterborne acute arsenic poisoning event occurred in Yongzhou City of Hunan Province because arsenic-containing slags contaminated the water supply, which resulted in 10 people being poisoned.

Mushroom Poisoning Outbreaks - China, 2019.

Mushroom poisoning is becoming one of the most serious food safety issues in China, which is responsible for nearly a half of all oral poisoning deaths. In China, many mushrooms were previously "recorded" as poisonous. In this study, about 70 species obtained from mushroom poisoning incidents including several new records were confirmed accurately by morphological and molecular evidence in 2019, and spatial and temporal distribution characters of 13 lethal mushrooms were summarized systematically.

Changes of intestinal microflora diversity in diarrhea model of KM mice and effects of Psidium guajava L. as the treatment agent for diarrhea.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the effects of Psidium guajava L. extracts on mice diarrhea model and changes in their intestinal microflora diversity.

Methods: Mice diarrhea model was constructed with Folium Sennae.

A case study of Lepiota brunneoincarnata poisoning with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage in Shandong, China.

The most frequently reported fatal Lepiota ingestions are due to L. brunneoincarnata. We present a case of L.

Effect of Biliary Drainage on the Toxicity and Toxicokinetics of in Beagles.

Amatoxin poisoning induces delayed-onset acute liver failure, which are responsible for more than 90% of deaths in mushroom poisoning. It has been postulated from animal and human studies that biliary drainage interrupting enterohepatic amatoxin circulation may affect amatoxin poisoning. Dogs were randomly divided into four groups of six animals each.

[Analysis of health self-management for diabetes self-efficacy].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of health self-management on self-efficiency of diabetes patients.


Methods: A total of 184 eligible and voluntary diabetes patients were recruited for 6 consecutive weeks of knowledge and skills intervention, and interviewed with questionnaire by diabetes self-efficacy scale (DSES) before and after the intervention. The changes in self-efficiency were compared with two paired sample McNemar test.

Cutaneomucosal venous malformations are linked to the TIE2 mutation in a large Chinese family.

Mutations in TIE2/TEK gene have been identified as the major cause for cutaneomucosal venous malformations (VMCM) that were previously reported to occur in Caucasian families. We report here for the first time a Chinese VMCM family of 19 affected individuals in five generations with multiple vascular lesions on their oral mucosa and extremities. Histological analyses showed that the lesions comprised of irregular vascular spaces with a continuous layer of endothelial cells and variable smooth muscle cells.
