Aim To elucidate the molecular mecha-nism underlying the inhibitory effect of liquidambaric acid(LDA)targeting TNF receptor associated factor 6(TRAF6)in colorectal cancer.Methods This study employed microscale thermophoresis(MST),drug af-finity responsive target stability assay(DARTS)and cellular thermal shift assay(CETSA)to confirm the direct binding of LDA to TRAF6.Additionally,we generated TRAF6 knockout colorectal cancer HCT116 cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and assessed the impact of LDA on TRAF6-regulated Hippo/YAP and Wnt signaling pathways through immunofluorescence a-nalysis and TOPFlash/Renilla luciferase reporter sys-tem.Co-IP and proximity ligation assays(PLA)were conducted to investigate LDA-regulated TRAF6 pro-tein-protein interactions and elucidate molecular mech-anisms.Results The direct binding of LDA to TRAF6 was confirmed in cell lysates and living cells.LDA promoted TRAF6-dependent nuclear translocation of YAP in colorectal cancer cells,and inhibited Wnt signaling by overexpressing TRAF6.Co-IP and PLA revealed that TRAF6 formed a tripartite complex with YAP and β-catenin in colon cancer cells,where TRAF6 was a key scaffolding protein of the tripartite complex.LDA disrupted the interactions between the TRAF domain of TRAF6 and YAP,as well as YAP and β-catenin.Conclusion LDA regulates Hippo/YAP signaling pathway by targeting TRAF6 and inhib-its colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVES:
To characterize fine particulate matter (PM 2.5)-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted from different cooking fumes and their exposure routes and assess their health-associated impact to provide a reference for health risk prevention from PAH exposure across different age and sex groups.
METHODS:
Sixteen PM 2.5-bound PAHs emitted from 11 cooking styles were analyzed using GC-MS/MS. The health hazards of these PAHs in the Handan City population (stratified by age and sex) were predicted using the incremental lifetime cancer risk ( ILCR) model. The respiratory deposition doses ( RDDs) of the PAHs in children and adults were calculated using the PM 2.5 deposition rates in the upper airway, tracheobronchial, and alveolar regions.
RESULTS:
The total concentrations of PM 2.5-bound PAHs ranged from 61.10 to 403.80 ng/m 3. Regardless of cooking styles, the ILCR total values for adults (1.23 × 10 -6 to 3.70 × 10 -6) and older adults (1.28 × 10 -6 to 3.88 × 10 -6) exceeded the acceptable limit of 1.00 × 10 -6. With increasing age, the ILCR total value first declined and then increased, varying substantially among the population groups. Cancer risk exhibited particularly high sensitivity to short exposure to barbecue-derived PAHs under equivalent body weights. Furthermore, barbecue, Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, Chinese cuisine, and Chinese fast food were associated with higher RDDs for both adults and children.
CONCLUSION
ILCR total values exceeded the acceptable limit for both females and males of adults, with all cooking styles showing a potentially high cancer risk. Our findings serve as an important reference for refining regulatory strategies related to catering emissions and mitigating health risks associated with cooking styles.

9.Clinical value of intraoperative ultrasound in etiological diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of acute encephalocele in patients with severe traumatic brain injury
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(11):1008-1011
Objective To apply bedside ultrasound for real-time monitoring of intracranial conditions in patients with severe traumatic brain injury experiencing acute encephalocele during large craniotomy, and to investigate the clinical value of intraoperative bedside ultrasound in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of acute encephalocele. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 32 adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury, and according to whether intraoperative ultrasound was performed, they were divided into ultrasound group with 17 patients and CT group with 15 patients. The two groups were compared in terms of time of operation, accuracy, mortality rate, and postoperative Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, and the independent samples t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups. Results Both ultrasound and CT could provide an accurate basis for diagnosis, with no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy; however, compared with the CT group, the ultrasound group had significantly shorter time of operation and diagnostic time. Based on GOS score and grading results at 6 months after surgery, the patients undergoing ultrasound examination had a significantly better prognosis than those undergoing CT examination. Conclusion Intraoperative ultrasound for patients with severe traumatic brain injury enables rapid and accurate identification of etiology, facilitates dynamic intracranial monitoring, and shortens the time for rescue, showing an important clinical significance in improving prognosis and reducing mortality rate. Therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.
