Olfactory receptors (ORs) form the largest superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Traditionally recognized for their role in the nasal olfactory epithelium, where they mediate the sense of smell, accumulating evidence has firmly established their ectopic expression in non-olfactory tissues, including the intestine, lungs, and kidneys. The intestine, as the primary site for nutrient digestion and absorption, harbors a highly complex chemical environment. To adapt to this environment, the gut employs a sophisticated network of “chemosensors” to monitor luminal contents and maintain homeostasis. Among these sensors, intestinal ORs have emerged as crucial functional components, serving as a molecular bridge that connects environmental chemical signals—such as food-derived odorants—to specific physiological responses. This discovery has significantly deepened our understanding of how dietary flavors and compounds influence intestinal physiology at the molecular level. This review systematically summarizes the expression profiles, ligand classification, and biological functions of ORs within the gastrointestinal tract. Studies indicate that intestinal ORs exhibit distinct spatial distribution patterns across different gut segments and display cell-type specificity, particularly within enterocytes and enteroendocrine cells. These receptors function as versatile sensors capable of recognizing a wide variety of ligands, including exogenous dietary components, gut microbiota metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, and endogenous small molecules like azelaic acid. Upon activation by specific ligands, intestinal ORs trigger intracellular signaling cascades, primarily involving the AC-cAMP-PKA pathway or calcium influx channels. A major focus of this review is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which these receptors regulate the secretion of gut hormones. Activation of specific ORs in enteroendocrine cells has been shown to stimulate the release of hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and serotonin (5-HT), thereby modulating systemic energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis, and gastrointestinal motility. Furthermore, the review addresses the critical roles of ORs in immune regulation and pathology. Evidence suggests that specific ORs contribute to the maintenance of intestinal immune homeostasis and may offer protection against inflammation. Beyond their involvement in inflammatory responses, ORs such as Olfr78 have been shown to regulate the differentiation and function of intestinal endocrine cells. Similarly, Olfr544 has been demonstrated to alleviate intestinal inflammation by remodeling the gut microbiome and metabolome. These findings collectively suggest that specific ORs hold promise as therapeutic targets for mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining gut homeostasis. Additionally, the review explores the emerging role of ORs in cancer. Although OR expression is often downregulated in tumor tissues compared to normal mucosa, activation of specific ORs by certain ligands can inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration and induce apoptosis via pathways such as MEK/ERK and p38 MAPK. Conversely, other receptors, such as OR7C1, may serve as biomarkers for cancer-initiating cells. In conclusion, intestinal ORs represent a vital component of the gut’s sensory network. The review also discusses the translational potential of these findings. By elucidating the precise pairing relationships between dietary components and specific ORs, novel therapeutic strategies could be developed. Intestinal ORs may thus emerge as promising targets for nutritional and pharmacological interventions in metabolic diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, and malignancies.

Objective To provide a scientific basis for vector prevention and control in port areas, vector monitoring has been conducted continuously to characterize the composition, density, and seasonal fluctuations of vectors across 21 port-areas of Shandong province from 2017 to 2023. Methods In accordance with the Regional Vector Monitoring Plan for Frontier Ports, vector surveillance of mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, rodents, and other disease vectors was performed. Data were analyzed to describe vector community composition and identify seasonal fluctuations. Results A total of 601 rodents belonging to 1 family, 4 genera, and 4 species were captured. Three dominant rodent species inhabit port areas. In addition, 88 104 mosquitoes were captured and classified into 3 subfamilies, 4 genera, and 12 species; 38 959 flies were trapped and classified into 8 families,31 genera, and 51 species, including 9 dominant fly species in port-areas; and 54 672 captured cockroaches were classified into 2 families,4 genera, and 4 species, with Blattella germanica as the dominant species. Conclusions Significant vector community changes(P＜0.005)have been identified after the epidemic. To improve the pertinence and efficacy of port health quarantine work, continuous and strong attention should be paid to vector compositions and population densities at Shandong ports.

Objective To study the expression of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)and long potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 overlapping transcript 1(KCNQ1OT1)in renal tissues of the patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN)and its correlation with podocytes number and clini-cal indicators.Methods A total of 24 patients with diagnosed IMN in the nephrology department of this hos-pital from February to June 2022 were selected as the IMN group,and 22 patients with nephrectomy due to re-nal cancer in the urologic surgery department during the same period were selected as the control group.The expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)and real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR).Wilms tumor gene 1(WT1)was used to label podocyte nuclei,and the expression level of WT1 was detected by immunohistochemical staining.The clinical data of the patients were collected to study the relationship between lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 expression in kidney tissue with the clinical indicators such as podocytes number,serum albumin and 24 h urine protein quantification in IMN patients.Results The mean gray value of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1expression green channel in the IMN group was 1.76±0.27 in the FISH detection,which was higher than 1.00±0.14 in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=11.911,P<0.05).The expression level of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 in the IMN group was 2.40±0.17 by qPCR,which was higher than 1.00±0.03 in the control group,and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(t=13.653,P<0.05).The expression level of WT1 in the IMN group was 13.27±5.18,which was lower than 28.79±5.58 in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=-9.777,P<0.05).The expression level of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 in kidney tissue of IMN patients was negatively correla-ted with the podocytes number and serum albumin(P<0.05),positively correlated with 24 h urine protein quantification(P<0.05),but had no significant correlation with serum creatinine,urea,anti-PLA2R antibody and eGFR(P>0.05).Conclusion KCNQ1OT1 of lncRNA may be related with the occurrence and develop-ment of IMN,and is expected to be a potential target for the treatment of IMN.

A new method was developed for simultaneous and efficient determination of linear perfluorooctanoic acid(n-PFOA)and linear perfluorooctane sulfonate(n-PFOS),and their typical branched isomers in seawater by online solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(Online SPE-LC-MS/MS).Only centrifugation of the seawater sample was required to remove the particulate matter,and then the seawater sample was directly injected and analyzed by online SPE-LC-MS/MS.An Eclipse Plus-C18 guard column was selected as SPE column for online enrichment of linear and branched isomers,and a F5 PFP column(150 mm×2.1 mm,2.7 μm)was used as the analytical column.Under the optimized experimental conditions,the separation and detection of all PFOA and PFOS linear and branched isomers could be completed within 20 min.The spiked recoveries of various target compounds ranged from 82.9%to 107.7%with detection limits and limits of quantification of 0.10-1.05 ng/L and 0.30-2.11 ng/L,respectively.The method was characterized by good precision(RSD≤9.10%)and linearity(R2≥0.990).Subsequently,linear and branched isomers of PFOA and PFOS in surface and bottom seawater samples collected from the Laizhou Bay of China were determined.The results showed that the detection rate of all the four branched PFOA isomers were 100%,with the highest average concentration of 25.85 ng/L found for 6m-PFOA,which accounted for 11.79%of the∑PFOA.For the five branched isomers of PFOS,the highest detection rate of 90.84%was found for 5m-PFOS.The highest average concentration of 0.64 ng/L was observed for 3m-PFOS,accounting for 19.88%of ∑PFOS.The proposed method provided an effective detection tool for qualitative and quantitative detection of PFOA and PFOS isomers in the marine aquatic environment.

Objective:To investigate the application of pedicled or perforator flaps transfer in the stage Ⅰ tissue defect repair after vulvar cancer surgery.Methods:From January 2005 to December 2023, 20 patients with vulvar cancer who underwent extensive episiectomy or extended episiectomy±inguinal lymph node resection+vulvar defect flap transfer were collected in Huanxing Cancer Hospital of Chaoyang District and Cancer Hospital and Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The survival status, appearance structure, sexual function satisfaction, tumor recurrence, and survival were analyzed.Results:(1) The median age of the 20 patients was 59 years (ranged: 29-73 years). There were 14 patients with recurrence and 6 patients with initial treatment. Pathological types: 14 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 4 cases of Paget′s disease, 1 case of malignant melanoma, 1 case of adenoid cystic carcinoma (salivary gland type carcinoma). (2) Among the 20 patients, 6 cases underwent extensive episiotomy and 14 underwent extended episiotomy (1 of them underwent extensive excision of inguinal masses). Simultaneous inguinal lymphadenectomy (or dissection) were performed in 11 cases, including 7 cases of bilateral inguinal lymph node resection (or dissection) and 4 cases of unilateral inguinal lymph node resection (or dissection). Flap source: pedicled flap in 12 cases, perforator flap in 8 cases. All the 20 patients were removed at 10-14 days after operation, and all of them survived with rosy skin color and good elasticity. Seventeen cases of transferred flaps healed at stage Ⅰ, 2 cases healed at about 6 weeks due to incision leakage, and 1 case healed at 6 weeks after incision infection debridement. Six months after the operation, 2 cases felt that the pubic mound was thick and swollen. The other 18 cases showed vulva fullness and elasticity, no displacement of urethral opening, no deviation of urethra during urination, no stenosis of vaginal opening, no vulvar scar pain. In addition to 1 unmarried 29-year-old patient and 6 patients over 65 years old who had no sexual life before and after surgery, the other 13 patients had normal sexual life after surgery. (3) The follow-up period were 6 to 100 months, and 9 cases (45%, 9/20) relapsed during the follow-up period. There were 5 deaths (25%, 5/20), who were due to recurrence of vulvar cancer. The 5-year survival rate of 20 patients was 75%, including 83% in 6 patients with initial treatment and 71% in 14 patients with recurrence and reoperation.Conclusions:The combination of flap transfer for episioplasty with vulvar cancer surgery does not affect the wound healing. Because the external structure of the vulva is repaired, it could effectively improve the local wound healing ability and improve the organ function, and has good clinical application value.

Objective To explore the association between rs750064,rs1078761 loci polymorphisms of BPI fold containing family A member 1(BPIFA1)gene and susceptibility to asthma in pediatric patients with allergic rhinitis(AR).Methods A total of 136 cases of AR admitted to Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from March 2021 to May 2024,aged 2～10 years old,were selected as the observation group,including 70 cases of asthma with AR,the control group was 66 cases with AR alone.The laboratory indicators of the children were collected,the rs750064 and rs1078761 loci of BPIFA1 gene were genotyped by MassArray System.The differences in genotype distribution and allele frequency between the two groups were compared.The correlation between rs750064 and rs1078761 loci of BPIFA1 gene and susceptibility to asthma in children with AR was analyzed by unconditional Logistic regression.Results Compared with the control group,interleukin-6(IL-6),fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)and immunoglobulin E(IgE)levels in the observation group were significantly increased,while forced vital capacity(FVC)levels were significantly decreased,with statistical significance(t=-22.648～4.879,all P<0.05).The genotypes of rs750064 and rs1078761 of BPIFA1 gene in control group and observation group were in line with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law(χ2=1.492～5.549,all P>0.05),indicating population representation.The distribution frequencies of allele T and genotype TT at rs750064 of BPIFA1 gene and allele A and genotype AA at rs1078761 locus in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=8.251～10.273,all P<0.05).The results of unconditional Logistic regression showed that in the co-dominant model(CC vs CT)of rs750064,the risk of CC genotype carriers was lower than that of TT genotype carriers(OR=0.537,95%CI:0.276～1.804).In the dominant model(CT+CC vs TT)and the recessive model(CT+TT vs CC),rs750064 polymorphism was associated with the risk of AR with asthma(all P<0.05).In the co-dominant model(GG vs AG),the risk of rs1078761 in GG genotype carriers was lower than that in AA genotype carriers(OR=0.498,95%CI:0.176～1.205).Under the dominant model(AG+GG vs AA)and recessive model(AG+AA vs GG),rs1078761 polymorphism was associated with the risk of AR combined asthma with statistical significance(all P<0.05).After adjusting various factors,rs750064 and rs1078761 were associated with the risk of AR combined with asthma under the three genetic models,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion The polymorphism of BPIFA1 gene is significantly related to the susceptibility of asthma in children with AR.TT carriers of rs750064 locus and AA carriers of rs1078761 locus are more likely to develop asthma in children with AR.

Objective To investigate the causal relationship between abnormal placental lipid metabolism and trophoblast dysfunction in patients with preeclampsia(PE),and to explore the regulatory effects of PPARγ on trophoblast function under hypoxic conditions.Methods Placental tissues were collected from 30 patients with PE and 30 individuals with normal pregnancies at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between October 2020 and November 2021 for the analysis of lipid deposition.A rat model of PE was established,comprising a sham-operated(Sham)group and a reduced uterine perfusion pressure(Rupp)group,with six rats in each group(n=12 total).Human trophoblast cells(HTR-8/SVneo)were cultured in vitro and randomly assigned to four experimental groups:normoxic control,hypoxia,hypoxia+PPARγ agonist(Rosiglitazone),and hypoxia+PPARγ antagonist(T0070907).The expression levels of lipid metabolism-related genes and transcription factors(FASN,FABP4,PPARγ,LXRα)were assessed using RT-qPCR.Western blotting was performed to determine the protein expression levels of PPARγ.Cell migration and invasion capacities were evaluated using scratch wound healing and Transwell assays,respectively.Results Placental lipid deposition in the PE group was significantly higher than that in the control group,particularly in the Rupp model mice(P<0.001).Under hypoxic conditions,the expression levels of FASN and FABP4 were upregulated in trophoblast cells(P<0.001),whereas the expression of PPARγ and LXRα was downregulated(P<0.001).Furthermore,treatment with the PPARγ antagonist T0070907 exacerbated the inhibitory effects of hypoxia on cell function(P<0.001),significantly reducing cell invasion and migration capacity(P<0.001).Additional siRNA-mediated knockdown experiments confirmed that PPARγ deficiency further aggravated hypoxia-induced impairments in cell migration and invasion,and this detrimental effect could not be reversed by Rosiglitazone.Conclusions Abnormal placental lipid metabolism in PE is closely linked to PPARγ-mediated enhancement of lipid synthesis and metabolic dysregulation under hypoxic conditions,which may subsequently impair trophoblast invasion and migration.
