In recent years, an increasing number of emerging environmental pollutants have been identified, garnering widespread attention. Many of these pollutants are characterized by their environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, which pose significant threats to both the ecological environment and human health. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their effects remain unclear, limiting our ability to assess their adverse impacts and develop effective protective measures. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor traditionally known to be activated by dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and is involved in the metabolism of exogenous chemicals. Recent research has shown that the AHR can be activated by a diverse range of exogenous and endogenous chemicals and participates in various biological processes. Studies have demonstrated that AHR mediates the toxic effects of emerging environmental pollutants such as perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA) and N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6PPDQ). This paper provided an overview of the AHR activation and the toxic effects induced by emerging environmental pollutants, with a focus on how the AHR activation interacts with multiple signaling pathways. The significance of these interactions in environmental risk assessment and toxicological research was also discussed. We aim to provide a scientific basis for environmental protection and risk assessment.

Due to traditional professional divisions, the practice of endoscopy by gastro-intestinal surgeons in China remains controversial. However, with the evolution of treatment philo-sophies, medical technology, and equipment advancements, a trend of integration between tradi-tional surgery and endoscopy is emerging. Gastrointestinal surgeons performing endoscopy can maxi-mize patient benefits, and they naturally possess advantages in conducting endoscopic procedures. It is recommended to further establish entry thresholds for surgeons to perform endoscopy, provide standardized endoscopic training for surgeons, and coordinate efforts at the administrative depart-ment. With the support of artificial intelligence, more patients can receive minimally invasive, indivi-dualized, and precise treatments.

Objective:To investigate the impact of air pollution on dynamic changes in lung function and further explore the association between genetic factors and lung function and its changes.Methods:Research data were from 14 506 participants in the United Kingdom Biobank with two complete baseline and follow-up lung function tests. Particulate matter [including particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm and ≤10 μm (PM 2.5 and PM 10)], nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and nitrogen oxides (NO x) concentrations were estimated using land-use regression models. Annual changes in lung function were calculated based on baseline and follow-up lung function tests. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) of lung function [forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the ratio of FEV 1 to FVC (FEV 1/FVC)] were constructed by genetic variations. The association between air pollution concentrations and lung function changes was analyzed by multiple linear regression models, and the impact of genetic factors on lung function and its changes was also assessed. Results:PM 2.5, PM 10, NO 2, and NO x showed a negative correlation with FVC changes [PM 2.5: -6.66 (95% CI: -9.92- -3.40) ml/year; PM 10: -0.40 (95% CI: -0.77- -0.03) ml/year; NO 2: -1.84 (95% CI: -2.60- -1.07) ml/year; NO x: -1.37 (95% CI: -2.27- -0.46) ml/year]. Additionally, PM 2.5, PM 10and NO 2 were also negatively correlated with changes in FEV 1 [PM 2.5: -3.19 (95% CI: -5.79- -0.59) ml/year; PM 10: -3.00 (95% CI: -5.92- -0.08) ml/year; NO 2: -0.95 (95% CI: -1.56- -0.34) ml/year]. PRS of lung function were positively correlated with baseline lung function (FVC, FEV 1, and FEV 1/FVC) and lung function changes (all β>0, all P<0.001). In different PRS stratification analyses, the effect of air pollution on lung function changes remained significant, and there was no apparent heterogeneity. Conclusions:PRS of lung function are significantly associated with baseline and lung function changes. Long-term exposure to air pollution accelerates the decline of lung function indicators such as FVC and FEV 1. The effects of air pollution are consistent in individuals with different genetic risk scores.

Objective:To investigate the types and number of symptom clusters in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer and explore the influencing factors of these symptom clusters.Methods:Totally 192 patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer in the Department of General Surgery at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2021 and January 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. A general information questionnaire, Post-sphincter-preserving Surgery Symptom Questionnaire, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) were used for data collection.Results:A total of 192 questionnaires were distributed, with 159 valid questionnaires returned. Exploratory factor analysis on 18 symptoms with an incidence rate of over 10.0% identified five primary symptom clusters: the psychological symptom cluster, increased defecation cluster, fatigue-pain cluster, sleep disturbance cluster, and constipation-related cluster. Logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative duration was an influencing factor for the psychological symptom cluster ( P<0.05) ; preoperative radiotherapy and postoperative duration were influencing factors for the increased defecation cluster ( P<0.05) ; postoperative chemotherapy was an influencing factor for the fatigue-pain cluster ( P<0.05) ; and weekly sedentary time was an influencing factor for the sleep disturbance cluster ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer experience multiple symptom clusters. Preoperative radiotherapy and prolonged sedentary behavior increase the risk of symptom clusters, and different postoperative periods are associated with varying risks for different symptom clusters. However, physical activity levels do not appear to influence the occurrence of symptom clusters. Healthcare providers should implement targeted interventions based on the symptom clusters and their influencing factors to reduce the incidence of symptoms in patients.

Objective:To evaluate the morphological characteristics of the fetal heart and the contractile function of the left and right ventricles in fetuses with pulmonary stenosis (PS) and pulmonary atresia (PA) using fetal heart quantitative analysis technology (fetal HQ), and to assess the impact of different degrees of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) on the contractile function of the fetal left and right ventricles. To accumulate early data and explore parameters for constructing a predictive model and clinical decision-making tool for the progression of fetal PS and PA.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 42 cases of mild to moderate PS and 23 cases of severe PS or PA detected through fetal echocardiography in the Department of Ultrasound, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, from July 2020 to December 2021. A control group of 195 normal fetal cases matching gestational weeks was selected. The fetal HQ technique was employed to measure the global sphericity index (GSI), left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), left/right ventricular area change percentage (LVFAC, RVFAC), and left/right ventricular longitudinal strain (LVGLS, RVGLS). Additionally, 24-segment sphericity index (SI) and fractional shortening (FS) for both left and right ventricles were measured. Comparative analyses were performed between the case and control groups, as well as within the case group.Results:In comparison with the control group, the case group exhibited significantly decreased GSI, LVGLS, LVEF, LVFAC, RVGLS, and RVFAC.The differences were statistically significant in the mild to moderate PS group (all P<0.05) and highly significant in the severe PS/PA group (all P<0.01). In the mild to moderate PS group, the left ventricle′s 2nd segment, right ventricle′s 24th segment SI, and the left ventricle′s 1st-13th segments, right ventricle′s 1st-16th and 20th-24th segments FS showed statistically significant differences compared to the control group (all P<0.05). In the severe PS/PA group, the right ventricle′s 1st-22nd segment SI, and the left ventricle′s 6th-13th, 21st-24th segments, and the right ventricle′s 1st-14th segments FS were reduced, showing statistically significant differences compared to the control group (all P<0.05). The severe PS/PA group showed lower RVGLS, RVFAC, and SI for the right ventricle′s 1st to 17th segments when compared to the mild to moderate PS group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Quantitative indices derived by fetal HQ is capable of evaluating the cardiac morphology and function of fetuses with PS/PA, which may provide for reference information for comprehensive understanding of cardiac morphological and functional changes in such fetuses.

Objective:To explore the potential application of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) in terms of quantification and evaluating left atrial function in normal fetuses and fetuses with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO).Methods:A total of 32 fetuses diagnosed with LVOTO, who underwent fetal echocardiography at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University College of Medicine between May 2020 to June 2022, were selected as the case group, and 100 pregnant women with normal singleton fetuses between January 2019 to October 2022 were chosen as the control group. The standard basal or apical four-chamber view clips were obtained and were quantitatively analyzed using TomTec-Arena off-line cardiac analysis software to obtain the left atrial strain parameters of the two groups of fetuses including left atrial reservoir phase longitudinal strain(LASr), left atrial ductal phase longitudinal strain(LAScd), left atrial systolic phase longitudinal strain (LASct), as well as the routine obstetric ultrasound measurements and fetal echocardiographic parameters of the two groups: biparietal diameter (BPD), femur length (FL), aortic annulus end-systolic inner diameter (AO), pulmonary annulus end-systolic inner diameter (PA), left atrial end-systolic long length (LAESL), left atrial end-systolic transverse diameter (LAESD), right atrial end-systolic long length (RAESL), right atrial end-systolic transverse diameter (RAESD), left ventricular end-diastolic transverse diameter (LVEDD) and right ventricular diastole end-diastolic transverse diameter (RVEDD). The ratio of right ventricular end-diastolic transverse diameter to left ventricular end-diastolic transverse diameter (RVd/LVd) and the ratio of pulmonary annulus diameter to aortic annulus diameter (PA/AO) were calculated. The differences of strain parameters between the two groups were compared, and the correlation between strain parameters and gestational age, RVd/LVd and other conventional measurement parameters were analyzed. ROC curve was used to compare the specificity and sensitivity of LASr and RVd/LVd in evaluating fetal cardiac dysfunction with LVOTO.Results:There were significant differences in LASr, LAScd, LASct, MAPSE, AO, LAESL, LVEDD, RVd/LVd and PA/AO between the two groups (all P<0.05), there were no significant differences in other parameters (all P>0.05). Correlation analysis showed that LASr was negatively correlated with RVd/LVd in LVOTO group ( rs=-0.394, P=0.025), and LASct was negatively correlated with RVd/LVd ( rs=-0.626, P=0.004). In the control group, LASr was negatively correlated with gestational age, AO and PA ( r/ rs=-0.570, -0.440, -0.493; all P<0.001), and LASct was negatively correlated with gestational age, AO and PA ( r/ rs=-0.601, -0.532, -0.568; all P<0.001). LAScd was positively correlated with gestational age, AO and PA ( r/ rs=0.310, 0.370, 0.314; all P<0.05). There were no significant correlations between the other parameters (all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC) in LASr evaluation of fetal cardiac dysfunction with LVOTO was 0.890 (0.826, 0.953) and the AUC in RVd/LVd evaluation of fetal cardiac dysfunction with LVOTO was 0.742 (0.637, 0.846), there were significant differences between them( P<0.05). Conclusions:2D-STE is highly feasible and reproducible in assessing fetal left atrial function. Evaluation of fetal left atrial function by 2D-STE provides a new reference index for quantitative analysis of fetal cardiac dysfunction.

Tumor is a serious threat to human health. At present, surgical resection, chemoradiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are the main therapeutic strategies. Monoclonal antibody has gradually become an indispensable drug type in the clinical treatment of cancer due to its high efficiency and low toxicity. Phage antibody library technology (PALT) is a novel monoclonal antibody preparation technique. The recombinant immunoglobulin variable region of heavy chain (VH)/variable region of light chain (VL) gene is integrated into the phage vector, and the antibody is expressed on the phage surface in the form of fusion protein to obtain a diverse antibody library. Through the process of adsorption-elution-amplification, the antibody library can be screened to obtain the antibody molecule with specific binding antigen as well as its gene sequence. PALT has the advantages of short antibody production cycle, strong plasticity of antibody structure, large antibody yield, high diversity and direct production of humanized antibodies. It has been used in screening tumor markers and preparation of antibody drugs for breast cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer. This article reviews the recent progress and the application of PALT in tumor therapy.

Objective:
To investigate the ameliorative effects of Mushroom on adipose tissue inflammation and glucolipid metabolism in mice fed a high-fat diet, and to provide a theoretical basis for the mechanisms of Mushroom regulating glucolipid metabolism and inflammatory responses.
Methods:
C57 BL/6 J mice were fed with normal diet(LF) group, high-fat diet(HF)group and high-fat diet + Mushroom(HF+Mushroom) group for 15 weeks.Then, body weight subcutaneous and epididymal white adipose tissue weight were measured. The morphological changes of adipose tissues were compared by HE staining, and the expression of genes related to inflamation, glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation pathways were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.
Results:
Compared with the LF group, the HF group had increased body weight, increased subcutaneous and epididymal white fat weight and adipocyte size, and upregulated expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1), CD68, inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), pyruvate kinase(PK), phosphofructokinase(PFK), hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha(PPARα) in adipose tissues, while the expression of carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 A(CPT-1 A), cytochrome P450 4 a10(CYP4 a10) and medium-chain acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase(MCAD) were downregulated(P<0.05). Compared with the HF group, Mushroom supplementation reduced body weight, adipose tissue weight and adipocyte size, and downregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory factors and glycolytic pathway-related factors in adipose tissues, while the expression of fatty acid oxidation pathway-related factors were upregulated(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Mushroom can ameliorate inflammation and disorders of glycolipid metabolism in adipose tissues of obese mice.

Objective:
To explore the intrinsic mechanism of emotional intelligence and trait anger in the association between childhood psychological abuse and aggressive behavior among middle school students,and to provide a theoretical basis for intervention of aggressive behaviors.
Methods:
By using the multi-stage stratified random sampling method, 2 458 middle school students in Guizhou Province were selected, and group tests were carried out using psychological abuse scale, attack behavior scale,emotional intelligence scale and characteristic anger scale.
Results:
Agressive behavior, trait anger and emotional intelligence differed significantly by gender(t=2.19,5.12,-2.34,P<0.05), and there were significant differences in aggressive behavior, psychological abuse, emotional intelligence and trait anger among middle school students of different student origins by residence(t=-18.77,-6.04,9.10,-9.94,P<0.05). Childhood psychological abuse (r=0.41), temperamental trait anger (r=0.52) and reactive trait anger (r=0.49) were significantly positively correlated with aggressive behavior(P<0.05). Emotional intelligence was significantly negatively correlated with aggressive behavior (r=-0.33, P<0.05). The test of multiple mediation effects showed that emotional intelligence, temperamental trait anger and reactive trait anger played multiple mediation roles between psychological abuse and aggressive behavior in childhood.
Conclusion
Childhood psychological abuse could not only directly affect the aggressive behavior of middle school students, but also further affect the aggressive behavior through emotional intelligence and trait anger. Emotional intelligence and idiosyncratic anger are important internal mechanisms by which childhood psychological abuse affects aggressive behavior.
