Antibiotics are widely used in clinical treatment of bacterial infection diseases and in the breeding of livestock,poultry and aquatic products.However,the irrational and excessive use of antibiotics not only leads to the emergence of drug-resistant superbugs,but also the antibiotics discharged into the environment pose a significant threat to the environment and human health.Antibiotics have been included in the list of key new pollutants to be controlled.Therefore,the detection of residual antibiotics in environmental media and food is of vital importance for protecting the environment and public health.Among various antibiotic detection methods,electrochemical sensors have attracted extensive attention due to their high sensitivity,low cost,simplicity and rapidity.Appropriate modification of the electrode surface can enhance the sensitivity of electrochemical sensors,reduce interference and expand the detection range.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)materials have the advantages of rich types,adjustable structure and activity,high specific surface area and high porosity,and show great application potential in the field of electrochemical sensing.This paper first introduces the synthesis methods of MOFs,reviews the research progress of MOFs-modified electrodes for detection of common antibiotics by electrochemical sensors,and finally looks forward to their future development trends in the field of rapid antibiotic detection.

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.

Hypothermia is a clinical syndrome characterized by core body temperature<35℃,caused by significant heat loss from body surface in cold environment.As a systemic cold injury,it can be lethal if treatment is delayed.Emergent diagnosis and treatment of hypothermia are expected to improve the prognosis of patients.In 2005,the U.S.Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine(USARIEM)issued guidelines for the prevention and management of cold injuries,but there has been no corresponding standard in China.Therefore,Emergency Branch of Chinese Medical Rescue Association,Emergency Medical Equipment Society of China Association of Medical Equipment,Integrated Rehabilitation Medical Branch of Chinese Medical Rescue Association,and Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Working Committee of Chinese Aging Well Association jointly developed the Chinese Expert Consensus on Emergent Treatment of Hypothermia(2025 edition).The consensus covers the pathophysiology,etiology and epidemiology,diagnosis and severity grading,prehospital treatment,and in-hospital treatment of hypothermia,including 15 recommendations in total,aiming to provide guidance for the relevant clinical rescue work.

Objective:To investigate the effect of KRAS,NRAS and BRAF gene mutations on the efficacy of pre-operative short-course radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and postoperative liver metastasis in patients with stage Ⅱ~Ⅲ mid-low rectal cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 149 patients with stage Ⅱ~Ⅲ low rectal cancer admitted to Dongnan Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2017 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients received neoadjuvant therapy with preoperative short-course radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and radical surgery,and were followed up until June 30,2023.The mutations of KRAS,NRAS and BRAF genes were de-tected by pathological tissue before surgery.The effect of neoadjuvant therapy was evaluated according to tumor re-gression grade(TRG).The risk factors of postoperative liver metastasis were analyzed by Logistic multivariate analysis.Results:There were 44 cases of KRAS,10 cases of NRAS and 12 cases of BRAF gene mutation in 149 patients with stage Ⅱ~Ⅲ low rectal cancer,and the mutation rates were 29.53%,6.71%and 8.05%.The incidence of positive vas-cular invasion in patients with KRAS gene mutation was higher than negative(P<0.05).In NRAS mutation patients,the incidence of positive lymph node metastasis was higher than negative(P<0.05),and the incidence of maximum tumor diameter≥5 cm was higher than that of maximum tumor diameter<5 cm(P<0.05).The clinical stage of BRAF muta-tion was higher in stage Ⅲ than in stage Ⅱ(P<0.05),and the incidence of positive lymph node metastasis was higher than negative(P<0.05).During the follow-up period,liver metastasis occurred in 42 patients,and the liver metastasis rate was 28.18%.The KRAS,NRAS and BRAF gene mutations in the effective group were 25.81%,2.15%and 3.23%,lower than those in the ineffective group(35.71%,14.29%and 17.07%,P<0.05).Multiple factors found clinical stage Ⅲ(OR=10.620,95%CI:2.645~22.575),lymph node metastasis was positive(OR=8.774,95%CI:1.878~19.645),neoadju-vant therapy failed(OR=3.373,95%CI:1.014~11.218),KRAS gene mutation(OR=6.245,95%CI:1.876~20.789),BRAF gene mutation(OR=9.497,95%CI:1.754~19.335)were independent risk factors for postoperative liver metastasis of stage Ⅱ~Ⅲ mid-low rectal cancer.Conclusion:Mutations in the KRAS and BRAF genes of middle are associated with poorer efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with stage Ⅱ~Ⅲ mid-low rectal cancer and are also indepen-dent risk factors for postoperative liver metastasis.

Dendrobium officinale(DO) is a traditional Chinese medicinal and edible plant, while it is critically endangered worldwide. This article, primarily based on the original research findings of the author's team and available articles, provides a comprehensive overview of the factors contributing to the endangerment of DO and the key technologies for the conservation, efficient cultivation, and value-added utilization of this plant. The scarcity of wild populations, low seed-setting rates, lack of endosperm in seeds, and the need for symbiosis with endophytic fungi for seed germination under natural conditions are identified as the primary causes for the rarity and endangerment of DO. Artificial seed production and tissue culture are highlighted as key technologies for alleviating the endangered status. The physiological and ecological mechanisms underlying the adaptation of DO to epiphytic growth are explored, and it is proposed that breaking the coupling of high temperature and high humidity is essential for preventing southern blight, a devastating affliction of DO. The roles of endophytic fungi in promoting the growth, improving the quality, and enhancing the stress resistance of DO are discussed. Furthermore, the integration of variety breeding, environment selection, and co-culture with endophytic fungi is emphasized as a crucial approach for efficient cultivation. The value-added applications of DO in pharmaceuticals, health foods, food products, and daily chemicals-particularly in the food and daily chemical industries-are presented as key drivers for a 10-billion-RMB-level industry. This systematic review offers valuable insights for the further development, utilization, and industrialization of DO resources, as well as for the broader application of conservation strategies for other rare and endangered plant species.
