RESUMEN
Biogas residues (i.e., digestate) are rich in NH4+ that has great agricultural value but environmental risk if not recycled. Biochar can be an effective adsorbent retaining NH4+ from digestate. However, it remains unclear how the unique composition of digestate affects the capacity and mechanisms of NH4+ adsorption on biochar. This study examined the mechanisms and driving factors of NH4+ recovery from digestate containing different molecular-weight organic particles by using wood-derived biochar with or without H2O2 modification. Four solutions were prepared, including pure NH4+, synthetic NH4+ with multiple cations mimicking digestate solution, supernatant of digestate with small organic particles and dissolved organic matter, and digestate mixture containing supernatant and large organic particles. The results showed that compared with pure NH4+ solution, the adsorbed NH4+ was 42% lower in the synthetic NH4+ solution with multiple cations but was 2.2 time higher in the supernatant of digestate on two biochars following 48-h adsorption. Modified biochar did not change NH4+ adsorption in pure NH4+ solution despite higher specific surface area than raw biochar, but it increased the adsorption of NH4+ in digestate solutions with high pH (e.g., 4.03 vs. 3.37 mg N g-1 for modified and raw biochar, respectively, in the supernatant of digestate). Compared with the supernatant, the large organic particles in digestate mixture significantly but slightly decreased NH4+ adsorption on modified but not raw biochar. The desorption rate of NH4+ on the biochar was up to 74%-100%, and it was not supressed by the adsorption of organic particles in digestate. The findings here demonstrate the dominant role of electrostatic attraction in NH4+ adsorption, the important role of high pH and organic particles in digestate in facilitating NH4+ adsorption on biochar, and the suitability of the wood-derived biochar in recovering NH4+ from digestate and releasing N for agricultural application.

The presence of pesticide residues in Agrocybe aegerita has raised an extensive concern. In this paper, based on a 3-year monitoring survey, the dietary exposure risks through A. aegerita consumption for different population subgroups were assessed using both deterministic and semi-probabilistic approaches under the best-case and the worst-case scenarios. Among the 52 targeted pesticides, 28 different compounds were identified in the concentration range of 0.005-3.610 mg/kg, and 87.4 % of samples contained one or more pesticide residues. The most frequently detected pesticide was chlormequat, followed by chlorfenapyr and cyhalothrin. The overall risk assessment results indicated extremely low chronic, acute, and cumulative dietary exposure risks for consumers. Using the ranking matrix, intake risks of pesticides were ranked, revealing endsoluran, chlorpyrifos, and methamidophos to be in the high-risk group. Finally, considering various factors such as the toxicity and risk assessment outcomes of each positive pesticide, use suggestions were proposed for A. aegerita cultivation.
RESUMEN
Mitochondria are the energy factories of cells and are important targets for the development of novel tumour treatment strategies owing to their involvement in processes such as apoptosis, oxidative stress, and metabolic programming. Thiosemicarbazone metal complexes target mitochondria and reduce mitochondrial membrane potential. The breakdown of mitochondrial membrane potential is a key event in the early stage of apoptosis, which releases cytochrome C and other pro-apoptotic factors, activates the intracellular apoptotic enzyme cascade, and eventually causes irreversible apoptosis of tumour cells. Thiosemicarbazone metal complexes targeting the mitochondria have recently emerged as potential antitumour agents; therefore, this review describes the structural diversity of thiosemicarbazone metal [Fe(III), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Ga(III), Pb(II), Au(III), and Ir(III)] complexes and explores their anti-tumour mechanisms that target mitochondrial pathways.
RESUMEN
Stylocarotid artery syndrome (SAS) is a rare variant of Eagle's syndrome that may lead to transient ischemic attack or stroke. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism involves compression of the internal carotid artery by an elongated styloid process (ESP), potentially resulting in vascular occlusion or dissection. An ESP exceeding 2.5 cm is deemed elongated, with a length of 3.0 cm considered clinically significant. Although the prevalence of ESP ranges from 4.0% to 7.3%, symptomatic cases are rare; symptoms are present in only approximately 4.0% of individuals with an ESP. Unlike the typical symptoms of Eagle's syndrome, SAS may not cause pharyngeal discomfort, the sensation of a foreign body in the throat, dysphagia, or facial pain. This absence of characteristic symptoms as well as the development of central nervous system symptoms often leads patients to seek care from neurologists instead of otolaryngologists, increasing the likelihood of misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis. We herein report a unique case of ischemic stroke caused by SAS and present a literature review on cases of SAS-associated ischemic stroke published in the past decade. The reporting of this study conforms to the CARE guidelines.

Residual pesticides in Agrocybe aegerita mushroom have emerged as a significant concern and bring much uncertainty due to processing procedures. In this study, a modified QuEChERS sample preparation procedure and UPLC-MS/MS were used to analyze the residual levels of four commonly used pesticides in A. aegerita from field to product processing. The field results showed that dissipation of these targeted chemicals was consistent with the first-order kinetics, and the half-life time ranged from 20.4 h to 47.6 h. The terminal residues of the four pesticides at harvest time ranged from 9.81 to 4412.56 µg/kg in raw mushroom. The processing factors (PFs) of clothianidin, diflubenzuron, chlorbenzuron, and pyridaben ranged from 0.119 to 0.808 for the drying process and from 0.191 to 1 for the washing process. By integrating the data from the field trials, the PFs, and the consumption survey, the chronic dietary risks of the target chemicals via A. aegerita intake ranged from 2.41 × 10-5 to 5.69 × 10-2 for children and from 6.34 × 10-6 to 1.88 × 10-2 for adults, which are considerably below the threshold of 1, indicating no unacceptable risk to consumers in the Fujian province of China. This research offers foundational data for appropriate use and the maximum residue limit (MRL) establishment for these four insecticides in A. aegerita.
RESUMEN
Building and protecting soil organic carbon (SOC) are critical to agricultural productivity, soil health, and climate change mitigation. We aim to understand how mechanisms at the organo-mineral interfaces influence SOC persistence in three contrasting soils (Luvisol, Vertisol, and Calcisol) under long-term free air CO2 enrichment conditions. A continuous wheat-field pea-canola rotation was maintained. For the first time, we provided evidence to a novel notion that persistent SOC is molecularly simple even under elevated CO2 conditions. We found that the elevated CO2 condition did not change the total SOC content or C forms compared with the soils under ambient CO2 as identified by synchrotron-based soft X-ray analyses. Furthermore, synchrotron-based infrared microspectroscopy confirmed a two-dimensional microscale distribution of similar and less diverse C forms in intact microaggregates under long-term elevated CO2 conditions. Strong correlations between the distribution of C forms and O-H groups of clays can explain the steady state of the total SOC content. However, the correlations between C forms and clay minerals were weakened in the coarse-textured Calcisol under long-term elevated CO2. Our findings suggested that we should emphasize identifying management practices that increase the physical protection of SOC instead of increasing complexity of C. Such information is valuable in developing more accurate C prediction models under elevated CO2 conditions and shift our thinking in developing management practices for maintaining and building SOC for better soil fertility and future environmental sustainability.

Oral cancer is a common malignancy with a high mortality rate. Although surgery is the best treatment option for patients with cancer, this approach is ineffective for advanced metastases. Molecular agents are irreplaceable in preventing and treating distant metastases. This review aims to summarise the molecular agents used for the treatment of oral cancer in the last decade and describe their sources and curative effects. These agents are classified into phenols, isothiocyanates, anthraquinones, statins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and steroids. The mechanisms of action of these agents include regulating the expression of cell signalling pathways and related proteases to affect the proliferation, autophagy, migration, apoptosis, and other biological aspects of oral cancer cells. This paper may serve as a reference for subsequent studies on the treatment of oral cancer.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by an infection. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is activated by endogenous molecules released by injured or necrotic tissues. Additionally, TLR4 is remarkably sensitive to infection of various bacteria and can rapidly stimulate host defense responses. The TLR4 signaling pathway plays an important role in sepsis by activating the inflammatory response. Accordingly, as part of efforts to improve the inflammatory response and survival rate of patients with sepsis, several drugs have been developed to regulate the inflammatory signaling pathways mediated by TLR4. Inhibition of TLR4 signal transduction can be directed toward either TLR4 directly or other proteins in the TLR4 signaling pathway. Here, we review the advances in the development of small-molecule agents and peptides targeting regulation of the TLR4 signaling pathway, which are characterized according to their structural characteristics as polyphenols, terpenoids, steroids, antibiotics, anthraquinones, inorganic compounds, and others. Therefore, regulating the expression of the TLR4 signaling pathway and modulating its effects has broad prospects as a target for the treatment of lung, liver, kidneys, and other important organs injury in sepsis.

Background and objectives: A totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) is a commonly used intravenous infusion device for patients receiving chemotherapy or long-term infusion therapy. To improve the success rate of one-time insertion of the Huber needle, we developed a novel Y-Z magnetic TIVAP (Y-Z MTIVAP), which we produced using three-dimensional printing technology. Materials and methods: The Y-Z MTIVAP includes a magnetic port body and a magnetic positioning device. For testing, we established four venous port implantation models using the two types of TIVAPs and two implantation depth ranges (≤5â mm and >5â mm). Twenty nurses performed Huber needle puncture with the four models, and we recorded the number of attempts required for successful needle insertion, the operation time, and the operator's satisfaction. Results: The success rate for one-time needle insertion with the Y-Z MTIVAP was significantly higher than that with the traditional TIVAP at either depth range (100% vs. 75% at ≤5â mm, p = 0.047; 95% vs. 35% at >5â mm, p < 0.001). With increasing implantation depth, the success rate for one-time insertion was significantly reduced with the traditional TIVAP (75% at ≤5â mm vs. 35% vs. >5â mm, p = 0.025), but the success rate with the Y-Z MTIVAP was not significantly affected (100% vs. 95%, p = 1.000). The operation time with the Y-Z MTIVAP was significantly shorter than that with the traditional TIVAP at either depth range (both p < 0.001), and 90% of operators reported that the Y-Z MTIVAP was superior to the traditional TIVAP. Conclusions: The theoretical design of Y-Z MTIVAP is feasible, and the preliminary in vitro simulation experiment shows that it can significantly improve puncture success rate and shortened operation time.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: This study was to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status and the incidence and mortality of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). METHODS: We compared the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and the ASMR to ASIR ratio (MIR) at national and regional levels and studied the correlation between the MIR and the human development index (HDI) in 2012 and 2018. RESULTS: The highest ASIR was in North America in 2012 and in Australia in 2018, and the lowest ASIR was in Central and South Asia in both 2012 and 2018. The highest ASMR was in North Africa in both 2012 and 2018, and the lowest ASMR was in Eastern Asia and South-Central Asia in 2012 and in South-Central Asia in 2018. The lowest MIR was in Australia in both 2012 and 2018, and the highest MIR was in Western Africa in both 2012 and 2018. HDI was strongly negatively correlated with MIR (r: -0.8810, P<0.0001, 2012; r: -0.8895, P<0.0001, 2018). Compared to the 2012 data, the MIR in the intermediate HDI countries significantly deceased and the HDI in low and high HDI countries significantly increased in 2018. CONCLUSION: The MIR is negatively correlated with HDI. Increasing the HDI in low and intermediate HDI countries may reduce the MIR and increase the survival of patients with NHL.

The ratio of ligand to Cu(II) ions has an essential effect on the geometrical configuration and anti-tumour activity of metal-based complexes. In this work, we synthesised two Cu(II) thiosemicarbazone complexes, namely, [Cu(L)(Cl)] (C1) and [Cu3(L)2(Cl)4] (C2), by controlling the ratio of Cu(II) ion to ligand, to evaluate their anti-tumour activity. The ability of C1 to catalyze hydrogen peroxide to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly higher than that of Cu(II) ion. Moreover, the bridge of Cu(II) and two molecules generated a new complex (C2), which, in contrast to C1, enhanced the generation of Fenton-like-triggered ROS. Consequently, the produced ROS depleted reduced glutathione, caused oxidative cell stress and promoted apoptosis through mitochondrial apoptotic pathways. In addition, C2 exhibited better tumour suppression than C1 in a nude mouse tumour xenograft model.

Tea is consumed widely around the world owing to its refreshing taste and potential health benefits. However, drinking tea is considered a major route for dietary aluminum exposure in areas where tea consumption is relatively large. To assess the health risk associated with drinking tea, the contamination level of aluminum was determined in 81 tea samples. The transfer rate of aluminum during tea brewing was investigated. Then based on the site-specific exposure parameters such as consumption data and body weight for six different subpopulations in Fujian, the exposure risks were estimated using a probabilistic approach. Results demonstrate that the contents of aluminum in green tea, white tea, oolong tea, and black tea were significantly different according to the one-way ANOVA analysis (p < 0.05). The transfer rate of aluminum were 32.6%, 31.6%, 26.3%, and 14% for white tea, black tea, oolong tea, and green tea, respectively. With respect to the oral reference dose, the exposure of inhabitants in Fujian to aluminum through drinking tea is under control (even at the 99th percentile).

The great success of cisplatin as a chemotherapeutic agent considerably increased research efforts in inorganic biochemistry to identify more metallic drugs having the potential of treating lung cancer. Metal coordination centres, which exhibit a wide range of coordination numbers and geometries, various oxidised and reduced states and the inherent ligand properties offer pharmaceutical chemists a plethora of drug structures. Owing to the presence of C=N and C=S bonds in a thiosemicarbazone Schiff base, N and S atoms in its hybrid orbital has lone pair of electrons, which can generate metal complexes with different stabilities with most metal elements under certain conditions. Such ligands and complexes play key roles in the treatment of anti-lung cancer. Research regarding metallic anti-lung cancer has advanced considerably, but there remain several challenges. In this review, we discuss the potential of thiosemicarbazone Schiff base complexes as anti-lung cancer drugs, their anti-cancer activities and the most likely action mechanisms involving the recent families of copper, nickel, platinum, ruthenium and other complexes.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) according to the results of NIPT and pregnancy outcomes with different indications. METHODS: Between October 2014 and December 2020, 20,626 pregnant women who received NIPT were included in this study. The positive predictive value (PPV) of trisomy 21, 18, and 13 (T21, T18, T13), sex chromosome abnormalities (SCAs), other chromosomal aneuploidies, and chromosomal microdeletion/microduplication were calculated. The positive results of NIPT were confirmed by amniocentesis, Karyotype analysis, and chromosome microarray analysis (CMA). RESULTS: In total, 263 positive cases (263/20,626, 1.28%) were detected by NIPT, of which T21, T18, and T13 were 69, 26, and 9 cases, respectively. Sex chromosome abnormalities (SCAs), other chromosomal aneuploidies, and copy number variants (CNVs) were 69, 12, and 38 cases, respectively. There were true positive in 49 of T21, 13 of T18, 1 of T13, 32 of SCAs, 1 of other chromosomal aneuploidies, and 15 of CNVs. The NIPT sensitivity of T21, T18, T13, SCAs, other chromosomal aneuploidies, and CNVs was all 100%, the specialty was 99.90%, 99.94%, 99.96%, 99.82%, 99.95%, 99.89%, and the PPV was 71.01%, 50.00%, 11.11%, 46.38%, 8.33%, 39.47%, respectively. The PPV was high in T21, moderate in T18 and SCAs, and low in T13 and other chromosomal abnormalities. CONCLUSION: NIPT has high accuracy, specificity and and can effectively avoid the occurrence of birth defects, but it cannot replace prenatal diagnosis. The accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity of NIPT in detecting sex chromosomes, chromosome microdeletion/microduplication, and other chromosomal abnormalities should be improved.

Heavy metal is widespread in food and the environment due to multiple origins, raising concerns over their persistent potential health risks. Contamination of multiple heavy metals in tea leaves is frequently reported. However, the dietary exposure risk that heavy metals in Tieguanyin tea (a famous type of oolong tea,) pose to different subpopulations has not been explored. In this study, contaminations of five heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Cr, Cd, and Ni) of concern in Tieguanyin tea were monitored, then the related health risk was assessed for six different subpopulations based on tea brewing experiments and a previous consumption survey. Results show that the mean levels found were as follows: 8.18 mg/kg (Cu), 0.84 mg/kg (Pb), 0.51 mg/kg (Cr), 0.04 mg/kg (Cd), and 1.90 mg/kg (Ni), respectively, and their transfer rates during tea brewing varied within 10.2-70.4%. All estimated daily intakes of individual targeted elements via Tieguanying tea consumption were far below their corresponding tolerable limits. The adjusted hazard index value ranged from 1.1 × 10-2 to 1.7 × 10-2, indicating that exposure to these five elements via drinking Tieguanyin tea would not pose significant non-cancer risks for six subpopulations under the current consumption habit. In addition, the carcinogenic risks associated with heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Cr) were acceptable because no total cancer risk values exceeded the 10-4 threshold. However, in order to improve consumer protection, we still suggest that considerable attention should be paid to Pb, Ni, and Cd because of their high concentration in infusion, high extraction rate, and major carcinogenic risk contribution, respectively.
RESUMEN
To overcome the resistance of tumour cells to cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin, DDP), we designed and synthesised platinum(II) complexes with copper coordination active sites using vitamin B6 and benzohydrazide derivatives as raw materials.The 3D structures of the complexes were confirmed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The results of the biological activity assay showed that the Pt(II) complexes (VB6-Pt1 and VB6-Pt2) have higher anti-tumour activity on detected typical lung cancer cells than DDP. Among them, VB6-Pt1 (IC50 = 0.78 µM) efficiently reversed DDP resistance in A549/DDP cell line and increased selectivity index (26) against mortal MRC-5 fibroblasts. The study showed that VB6-Pt1 overcomes tumor drug resistance by significantly increasing the level of reactive oxyge species and inducing lysosomal membrane permeability, which leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of VB6-Pt1 on A549 xenograft tumours was 81.5%, which was much higher than that of cisplatin (50.0%), without significantly increasing p-glycoprotein (P-gp) protein expression. The copper-coordinated active site in Pt(II) complexes may be a key factor in their ability to overcome DDP-resistant cancer cells.

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) promote ovarian cancer (OC) metastasis by carrying microRNAs (miRs). This study investigated the mechanism of miR-106a-5p carried by OC cell-derived EVs in OC. miR-106a-5p expression in OC tissues and cells was measured. EVs were extracted from SKOV3 cells and normal cells. The internalization of EVs in OC cells was observed. OC cells were treated with SKOV3-EVs or SKOV3-EVs overexpressing miR-106a-5p to detect the proliferation, migration, and invasion. The expression levels of miR-106a-5p, KLF6, and PTTG1 were detected and their binding relationships were identified. Combined experiments were designed to detect the effects of KLF6 and PTTG1 on OC cells. A xenograft tumor experiment was performed to verify the mechanism of EVs-miR-106a-5p and KLF6 in OC metastasis. Consequently, miR-106a-5p was enhanced in OC and correlated with OC metastasis. SKOV3-EVs promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OC cells. Mechanistically, EVs carried miR-106a-5p into other OC cells, inhibited KLF6, reduced the binding of KLF6 to the PTTG1 promoter, and upregulated PTTG1 transcription. Overexpression of KLF6 or silencing of PTTG1 attenuated the promoting effect of EVs-miR-106a-5p on OC cells. EVs-miR-106a-5p facilitated OC metastasis via the KLF6/PTTG1 axis. To conclude, OC cell-derived EVs facilitated the progression and metastasis of OC via the miR-106a-5p/KLF6/PTTG1 axis.

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer with more than 200 genotypes. Different genotypes have different potentials in causing premalignant lesions and cervical cancers. In this study, we investigated the age-specific prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV genotypes in Northwest China. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We recruited 145,918 unvaccinated women from Northwest China for population-based HPV DNA screening test during June 2015 to December 2020. And a lab-based test was performed for each volunteer by flow fluorescent technology to identify the genotypes of HPV. RESULTS: The overall infection rate of HPV was 22.97%. With the participants divided into 12 groups according to age, a bimodal curve of infection rate was obtained. And the two peaks appeared in the younger than 20 group and 61-65 group, respectively. The five most common HPV genotypes included HPV 16, 58, 52, 53 and 61 in all participants, which were in descending order of frequency. Among women younger than 25 years old, HPV 6 and 11 were more common and even higher than some genotypes mentioned above. Among women older than 65 years old, HPV 18 and 66 were more common than or as high as the six most common genotypes in all populations. Additionally, the distribution of single and multiple infections in each age group was also different. CONCLUSION: The baseline prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV in Northwest China was uncovered for the first time. Age was related to the epidemiology of different HPV genotypes. All the results would be of great significance for future healthcare services.
