Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(11):958-960
Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN), a nonsteroidal mycotoxin produced by fusarium with estrogen-like effects, and it contaminates various types of cereals and their products to varying degrees. Wheat and rice are the staple foods of Chinese residents, and understanding the contamination status and dietary exposure risk of ZEN in grains and their products is of great significance for maintaining food safety and promoting population health. This article reviewed the publications between 2012 and 2023 on ZEN contamination and dietary exposure assessment in cereals and their products, and found that the dietary exposure risk of ZEN contamination in cereals and their products was low. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen food safety monitoring and regulatory oversight to ensure food safety.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the damage mechanism of pathogenic E.coli on mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells(BMEC cells)and mouse alveolar macrophages(MH-S cells),as well as the lung and brain of healthy mice.In this study,BMEC cells and MH-S cells were infected with pathogenic E.coli strains,and cell morphological changes were observed.Plate counting method was used to detect the adhesion and invasion ability of the strains to cells and the number of bacteria in the lungs and brains of mice.RT-qPCR was used to detect the ex-pression of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 genes in cells and mouse organs at different time periods.West-ern blot was used to detect the expression of p-NF-κB,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 proteins related to inflammation in cells and mouse organs after infection.The results showed that the cell culture medium of the infection group was turbid,the cell vision became dark and blurred,some cells shrank and died,and more fragments were produced.The adhesion rate and invasion rate of BMEC cells at 3 h were significantly lower than those at 6 h(P<0.050),and the adhesion rate and inva-sion rate of MH-S cells at 3 h were significantly higher than those at 6 h(P<0.010).Infected mice had a large area of swelling and bleeding in the brain,and the lungs had different degrees of swell-ing and bleeding.The bacterial load in the brain and lung was the highest at 12 h.Compared with the control group,the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the infection group were significantly increased at 3 h and 6 h(P<0.050),and the mRNA expression levels of inflam-matory factors in BMEC cells and MH-S cells were the highest at 6 and 3 h,respectively.The mR-NA expression of inflammatory factors in the brain and lung of infected mice showed a trend of in-creasing first and then decreasing with time,with the highest expression at 12 h after infection.The expression levels of p-NF-κB protein in BMEC cells,MH-S cells,lung and brain tissues of mice in the infection group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.001),and the expression levels of p-JAK2 protein and p-STAT3 protein were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.050).The above results showed that pathogenic E.coli could adhere and invade BMEC cells and MH-S cells,colonize in lung and brain tissues of mice,promote the expres-sion of NF-κB protein in cells and tissues,inhibit the expression of JAK2 protein and STAT3 pro-tein,and then stimulate cells and tissues to produce inflammatory response.

The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon gene (STING) signal pathway is a classical pathway of STING activation, and in recent years, its role in stimulating innate immunity has gradually attracted wide attention. Besides, cGAS can recognize and combine endogenous or exogenous DNA, then catalyze ATP and GTP to synthesize cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP), subsequently activate STING signal to promote type I interferon and inflammatory factors, finally induce natural and adaptive immunity. Existing studies have indicated that cGAS-STING signal pathway plays an important role in infections, inflammations and tumors, especially in high-grade gliomas with poor clinical treatment efficacy. Here, we briefly summarize the cGAS-STING signal pathway and its mechanism in brain tumors to provide new ideas for exploring therapeutic targets and drugs for brain tumors.

With the research and summary of the cases, the surgical indications, surgical procedures, and reference values for material selection for the surgical treatment of neonatal complex congenital heart disease are further refined, and the diagnosis and treatment system is further standardized and completed. In order to increase the success rate of surgery, reduce postoperative mortality and postoperative complications, many researchers have proposed improved surgical procedures, some of which have become mature technologies. In addition, in recent years, the surgical age of newborns has gradually advanced and the surgical weight has gradually decreased. In particular, the increasing application of Hybrid therapy has enabled some critically ill, premature, and low birth weight children to survive smoothly to accept surgical correction. This article will review the recent advances in the surgical treatment of neonatal complicated congenital heart disease.

Objective:To explore the role of macrophage polarization on pericyte-to-myofibroblast transition and renal allograft fibrosis after kidney transplantation(KT).Methods:Allograft tissues were harvestedfrom recipients with chronic allograft dysfunction(CGD)and normal kidney tissues.The expression and distribution of M1/M2 macrophages in kidney tissues were detected by routine and immunofluorescent staining; mRNA of CD68, CD206 and iNOS detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR); Murine vascular pericytes subjected to TGF-β1 in vitro and the expressions of α-SMA and PDGFR-β in perivascular cells detected by immunoblotting and cellular fluorescence; The co-culturing models of vascular pericytes and M1/M2 macrophages were constructed.The expressions of α-SMA and PDGFR-β in pericytes were detected by immunoblotting, cellular fluorescence and PCR.Results:A marked infiltration of CD68+ iNOS+ M1 macrophages was present in allograft tissues of recipients with CGD while no obvious infiltration of CD68 + CD206 + was observed.The mRNA levels of CD68, iNOS and CD206 were significantly higher in CGD group than those in control group( P<0.05); In CGD allograft tissues, protein expressions of α-SMA and PDGFR-β spiked markedly( P<0.05)while cells with double staining of α-SMA and PDGFR-β were markedly infiltrated in interstitial area of CGD allograft.TGF-β1 could induce a marked elevation of PMT-related markers in a time-dependent manner( P<0.05); Immunoblotting and cellukar fluorescence indicated that M1 macrophages could promote the elevations of α-SMA and PDGFR-β in pericytes in vitro while M2 macrophages showed no effect on pericyte-to-myofibroblast transition in pericytes. Conclusions:M1 macrophage polarization may promote the formation of renal allograft interstitial fibrosis through promoting PMT.

Malignant tumors in the head and neck seriously threaten the physical and mental health of patients. After treatment, they may cause many complications, such as facial deformity, difficulties with chewing, dysphagia and asaphia. Among them, trismus (restricted mouth opening) is one of the most common complications after treatment of malignant oral-maxillofacial tumors. In severe cases, patients may even suffer from trismus and eating difficulties, finally leading to malnutrition and even cachexia. Therefore, it not only affects the quality of life of patients and even endangers their lives but also brings heavy social and economic burdens. How to effectively prevent and treat posttreatment trismus is a clinical problem that is easily ignored by head and neck surgeons and urgently needs to be solved. The results of a literature review showed that trismus may be related to the tumor clinical stage, tumor site, treatment used, radiotherapy site, radiotherapy dose, radiotherapy type, and other factors. The incidence of trismus tends to be significant 6 months after treatment. Without early intervention, the resulting dysfunction may become more severe. Current studies have shown that the prevention and treatment of restricted mouth opening is based on controlling the progress of restricted mouth opening and restoring function. Exercise intervention for trismus can significantly improve the restricted mouth opening of patients with malignant head and neck tumors after treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the performance and the accuracy of surgical robot for mandibular reconstruction based on intelligent surgical planning.Methods:115 CT scanning images of normal mandible (57 males, 48 females, 40.3±9.1 years old, from February 2010 to May 2019) and 115 CT scanning images of mandible with tumor (62 males, 53 females, 55.6±7.2 years old, from March 2008 to August 2019) from Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital were selected. The surgical robot system including work station, UR robot, optical navigation system, 6 dimensional force senor and surgical instrument. A 3D V-Net for mandible preoperational segmentation from CT scans was proposed and used to segment the mandible of a 54-year-old male patient who received mandible reconstruction with fibular flaps. The machine learning algorithm was used to aid surgical planning for maxillo-mandibular defect by detecting landmarks. The accuracy was defined as the distance between corresponding landmarks on the intact mandible. The robot could locate the target according to surgical planning and perform fibula osteotomy through force-motion control. The CT scanning of limb and head from the patient (male, 54 years old) was used for phantom experiments. 30 osteotomies on 5 3D-priented resin phantom were carried out. The pre- and post-operative images were compared to calculate the accuracy. The descriptive results were in the format of Mean±SD.Results:The average accuracy of V-Net for mandible segmentation was 96.581% and the time cost was less than 30 seconds. The average error of feature points on mandible was (2.24±1.74) mm. The residual length error was (1.02±0.45) mm and angle error was (0.96±0.42) degree in robotic-assisted osteotomy according to 3 cases of phantom experiments. The surgical robot could perform osteotomy safely and steadily within 15 min.Conclusions:Intelligent surgical planning can precisely segment the mandible and determine its landmarks. Robot for mandibular reconstruction can perform fibular osteotomy precisely with the pre-operative planning.
