Cardiovascular disease is a severe threat to human health and life. Among many risk factors of cardiovascular disease, genetic or gene-based ones are drawing more and more attention in recent years. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that the loss or mutation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene can result in DNA damage repair dysfunctions, telomere shortening, decreased antioxidant capacity, insulin resistance, increased lipid levels, etc., and thus can promote the occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors, such as aging, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. In this review, we discusses the possible mechanisms between ATM gene and cardiovascular risk factors, which could be helpful to the related research and clinical application.

BackgroundDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, both teenagers' studies and personal life are critically affected, which has resulted in a variety of mental health problems. In this regard, scholars at home and abroad have carried out a large number of research concerning adolescent mental health, of which there still exists a lack of systematic combing and review. ObjectiveTo understand the status and development trend of research on adolescent mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic at home and abroad, and to grasp the current research hotspots and trends in this field, so as to provide references for relevant research and practice in the post-epidemic era. MethodsOn October 30, 2022, we searched through China Knowledge Network Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science database, and the publishing time of articles to be retrieved was limited between December 1, 2019 and October 30, 2022. Excel and CiteSpace were used to perform visual analysis on these articles in terms of number, author, institution, country and keywords of the articles. ResultsA total of 7 608 articles were included. At home and abroad, the number of papers related to adolescent mental health generally increased at first and then decreased under the pandemic situation. Compared with foreign countries, the connection and cooperation among domestic scholars and institutions was not close enough. The top three countries in the number of English literature published were the United States, Britain and China, and those in intermediary center were Tunis, Cameroon and Anguilla. The parent-child relationship and mental health of teenagers during were much concerned by scholars both at home and abroad. With the passage of time, researchers at home and abroad had shifted their focus from only negative factors to positive factors. ConclusionChinese scholars or institutions need to strengthen more domestic and international exchanges and cooperation. Scholars from different countries can carry out cross-cultural study on research topics of common concern, and continue to explore the positive psychological changes of teenagers in the post-epidemic era.[Funded by National Social Science Foundation 2020 Education Youth Project of 13th Five-Year Plan (number, CHA200259)]

As the main factor leading to foodborne illnesses, foodborne pathogens have been attached great importance by people. The development of simple, rapid, high-sensitivity and low-cost food-borne pathogen detection methods is of great significance in reducing the incidence of foodborne diseases. Biosensor technology is a new micro-analysis technology developed by multi-disciplinary cross-infiltration. It has the characteristics of high sensitivity and fast analysis speed, and is widely used in the detection of food-borne pathogens. This paper introduces the basic principles of biosensors, summarizes the application of common biosensors in the detection of foodborne pathogens, and prospects for future development.
