Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, which increases the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). In the pathophysiology of IBD, ubiquitination/deubiquitination plays a critical regulatory function. Josephin domain containing 2 (JOSD2), a deubiquitinating enzyme, controls cell proliferation and carcinogenesis. However, its role in IBD remains unknown. Colitis mice model developed by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) or colon tissues from individuals with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease showed a significant upregulation of JOSD2 expression in the macrophages. JOSD2 deficiency exacerbated the phenotypes of DSS-induced colitis by enhancing colon inflammation. DSS-challenged mice with myeloid-specific JOSD2 deletion developed severe colitis after bone marrow transplantation. Mechanistically, JOSD2 binds to the C-terminal of inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2) and preferentially cleaves K63-linked polyubiquitin chains at the K134 site, suppressing IMPDH2 activity and preventing activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inflammation in macrophages. It was also shown that JOSD2 knockout significantly exacerbated increased azoxymethane (AOM)/DSS-induced CRC, and AAV6-mediated JOSD2 overexpression in macrophages prevented the development of colitis in mice. These outcomes reveal a novel role for JOSD2 in colitis through deubiquitinating IMPDH2, suggesting that targeting JOSD2 is a potential strategy for treating IBD.

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.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic values of ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy of intra rectal cavity and colonoscopy biopsy for rectal and anal canal tumors.Methods:A total of 100 patients with rectal tumors,who admitted to Beijing Rectum Hospital from March 2021 to March 2023,were selected.All patients completed three-dimensional(3D)ultrasound examination of intra rectal cavity,and all of them adopted both colonoscopy biopsy and ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy of intra rectal cavity to obtain tissue samples.Postoperative pathological results were used as the"gold standard"to compare the diagnostic accuracy,pain index,amount of blood loss and examination time of two kinds of modes in sampling.The Kappa test was adopted to analyze the consistency between two kinds of examination methods and postoperatively pathological staging.Results:The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy rate of pathological diagnosis with colonoscopy biopsy were respectively 90.74%,82.61%and 87.00%in diagnosing the benign and malignant rectal tumor.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy rate of ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy of intra rectal cavity were respectively 98.25%,97.67%and 98.00%in diagnosing the benign and malignant rectal tumor.The diagnostic accuracy rate of ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy of intra rectal cavity was higher than that of colonoscopy biopsy,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.672,P<0.05).Kappa test analysis indicated that there was moderate consistency between colonoscopy biopsy and pathological staging in diagnosing rectal cancer(Kappa=0.66),and there was high consistency between ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy of intra rectal cavity and pathological staging in diagnosing that(Kappa=0.77).Conclusion:Both colonoscopy biopsy and ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy of intra rectal cavity have highly diagnostic accuracy rate for rectal tumors.However,ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy of intra rectal cavity has obvious advantages for the biopsy of submucosal rectal tumors and anal canal tumors,and it has minimally invasive and cost-effective advantages,which has higher clinical application value.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for the prevention and management of radiation esophagitis in patients with chest tumors, so as to provide basis for the prevention and management of radiation esophagitis in patients.Methods:The research question was proposed based on the population, intervention, professional, outcome, setting and type of evidence (PIPOST) model, and guidelines, expert consensus, clinical decision-making, evidence summary, systematic review, and randomized controlled trials on the prevention and management of radiation esophagitis in chest tumor patients were systematically searched on UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Cochrane Library, PubMed, American Society of Clinical Oncology, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and other databases and websites based on the "6S" model. The search period was from database establishment to August 1, 2023. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted and integrated evidence from the literature that met the quality standards.Results:A total of ten articles were included, including three guidelines, one expert consensus, one systematic review, two systematic evaluations, and three randomized controlled trials. Twenty-three pieces of evidence were summarized from six dimensions of building multidisciplinary teams, screening and evaluation, nutritional support, drug and non-drug prevention, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment, and health education.Conclusions:The included evidence can provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and management of radiation esophagitis in patients undergoing chest tumor radiotherapy. Clinical medical and nursing personnel can provide personalized interventions to patients based on clinical practice.

Objective:To compare the motivated forgetting ability between adolescents with depression and normal adolescents and to explore the relationship of this ability with childhood trauma and symptoms of depression.Methods:Totally 141 adolescents diagnosed with depression according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition(DSM-5),and 42 normal controls participated in the study.The directed forgetting(DF)task was employed,using emotional images as memory stimuli,to compare the recognition per-formance between the two groups.The presence of the DF effect was identified when the recognition score under the"to-be-remembered"condition was significantly higher than the"to-be-forgotten"condition.The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form(CTQ-SF)and Beck Depression Inventory-Ⅱ(BDI-Ⅱ)were utilized to assess the severi-ty of participants'childhood trauma and depression symptoms.Results:Unlike the control group,the adolescents with depression only exhibited the DF effect with positive stimuli(P<0.001).In the depression group,the DF effect value for negative stimuli partially mediated the relationship between CTQ-SF scores and BDI-Ⅱ scores(effect size=0.10,95%confidence interval 0.05-0.17,accounting for 21.3%of the total effect).Conclusion:The motivated forgetting ability is partially impaired in adolescents with depression.The ability,especially regarding negative memories,plays a partial mediating role between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms in adolescents with depression.
