Crop grey water footprints in China: The impact of pesticides on water pollution. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 935:173464. [PMID: 38788957 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Agricultural water pollution is a significant challenge in China, a rapidly growing economy with a large agricultural sector. The grey water footprint (WF) is a tool for evaluating freshwater pollution. It expresses pollution in volumetric units identifying the pollutant that theoretically needs most water to be diluted to accepted water quality standards. Previous agricultural grey WF studies focused on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), some studies included pesticides. This study assesses grey WFs based on N, P and 1513 pesticide combinations for twelve main crops and two crop categories in 31 Chinese provinces. Grey WFs, including the pesticide component, are far larger than estimated before, dominating total agricultural WFs (green, blue, and grey). The total grey WF of Chinese agriculture (4,900 109 m3 year-1) is determined by pesticides, while grey WFs related to N and P are 450 and 1,500 109 m3 year-1, differences of a factor of eleven and three respectively. The provinces Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong are hotspots contributing 37 % to the total grey WF. A limited number of pesticides used for maize, vegetables, fruits and potato (Mancozeb a fungicide, Acetochlor a herbicide and Cypermethrin an insecticide) dominate total grey WFs, contributing 80 % to the total grey WF. Eliminating the most polluting pesticides per category and redistributing the remaining ones with a similar function but lower grey WFs reduces national water pollution from agriculture by 64 %. Only five crops, i.e. maize, potato, soybean, rice and wheat, and the two crop categories, vegetables and fruits, contribute 94 % to this reduction. Probably grey WFs could reduce even further with a second elimination and redistribution effort. This study is the first national grey WF assessment related to pesticides in agriculture. It offers valuable insights to farmers and policymakers to enhance water quality in China and beyond.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) This study aims to analyze the nodal target volume in patients with node-negative SNSCC crossing the midline. MATERIALS/METHODS One hundred and four patients with node-negative advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) crossing the midline were included. Survival rates were estimated and compared between treatment groups. RESULTS Sixty-four patients received contralateral ENI (contralateral ENI group), while forty patients did not (non-contralateral ENI group). The median follow-up time was 89.99 and 95.01 months in the contralateral and non-contralateral ENI groups, respectively. At 5 years, the regional relapse-free survival and contralateral regional relapse-free survival were 57.68% vs. 55.83% (p = 0.372), and 57.68% vs. 61.62% (p = 0.541), in contralateral ENI group vs. non-contralateral ENI group, respectively. Five-year overall survival, local relapse-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival were similar in the two groups (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION In patients with node-negative SNSCC crossing the midline, omission of contralateral ENI did not affect regional control and survival outcomes on the premise of receiving ipsilateral ENI covering at least levels Ib and II.

[IL-8 Links NF-κB and Wnt/β-Catenin Pathways in Persistent Inflammatory Response Induced by Chronic Helicobacter pylori Infection]. Mol Biol (Mosk) 2023; 57:713-716. [PMID: 37528793 DOI: 10.31857/s0026898423040134, edn: qlukej] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection can cause persistent inflammatory response in human gastric mucosal epithelial cells, which may result in the occurrence of cancer. However, the underlying mechanism of carcinogenesis has not been elucidated yet. Herein, we established the models of chronic H. pylori infection in GES-1 cells and C57BL/6J mice. Interleukin 8 (IL-8) level was detected by ELISA. The expression of NF-κB p65, IL-8, Wnt2 and β-catenin mRNA and proteins was evaluated by real-time PCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, and immunohistochemistry. The infection of H. pylori in mice was evaluated by rapid urease test, H&E staining and Warthin-Starry silver staining. The morphological changes of gastric mucosa were observed by electron microscopy. Our results showed that in H. pylori infected gastric mucosal cells along with activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and increase of IL-8 level, the expression of Wnt2 was also increased significantly, which preliminarily indicates that IL-8 can positively regulate the expression of Wnt2. Studies in chronic H. pylori infected C57BL/6J mice models showed that there was an increased incidence of premalignant lesions in the gastric mucosa tissue. Through comparing changes of gastric mucosal cell ultrastructure and analyzing the relationship between NF-κB signaling pathway and Wnt2 expression, we found that H. pylori infection activated NF-κB signal pathways, and the massive release of IL-8 was positively correlated with the high expression of Wnt2 protein. Subsequently, the activated Wnt/β-catenin signal pathways may be involved in the malignant transformation of gastric mucosal cells. Collectively, H. pylori chronic infection may continuously lead to persistent inflammatory response: activate NF-κB pathway, promote IL-8 release and thereby activate Wnt/β-catenin pathway. IL-8 probably plays an important role of a linker in coupling these two signal pathways.

Abstract
On May 13, 2022, World Health Organization(WHO) Position Paper on Influenza Vaccine (2022 edition) was published. This position paper updates information on influenza epidemiology, high risk population, the impact of immunization on disease, influenza vaccines and effectiveness and safety, and propose WHO's position and recommendation that all countries should consider implementing seasonal influenza vaccine immunization programmes to prepare for an influenza pandemic. In addition, it proposes that the influenza surveillance platform can be integrated with the surveillance of other respiratory viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 and Respiratory Syncytial Virus. This position paper has some implications for the prevention and control of influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases in China: (1) Optimize influenza vaccine policies to facilitate the implementation of immunization services; (2) Influenza prevention and control should from the perspective of Population Medicine focus on the individual and community to integrate with "Promotion, Prevention, Diagnosis, Control, Treatment, Rehabilitation"; (3) Incorporate prevention and control of other respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus and adenovirus, and intelligently monitor by integrating multi-channel data to achieve the goal of co-prevention and control of multiple diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Sacrocolpopexy is the most durable surgical procedure for the treatment of symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (Maher et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2013;(4):CD004014). The single port robotic platform has recently been approved in the USA for use in urological surgery. Innovation in robotic surgery continues to evolve, minimizing abdominal wall trauma while improving instrumentation and technical feasibility. Identifying the appropriate procedures to utilize novel technology is important to understand the role of new surgical tools. Sacrocolpopexy procedure, when performed with supracervical hysterectomy, requires extension of an incision for specimen retrieval, making it ideal for single port surgery. The technique and adaptation to new instrumentation is demonstrated in this video. METHOD A surgical demonstration of single port robotic sacrocolpopexy is shown. RESULTS Sacrocolpopexy was successfully completed using the single port robotic platform. CONCLUSIONS Sacrocolpopexy is technically feasible with use of the single port robotic platform.

Abstract
As the largest salivary gland in oral cavity, the parotid gland plays an important role in initial digesting and lubricating food. The abnormal secretory function of the parotid gland can lead to dental caries and oral mucosal inflammation. In recent years, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been used to explore the heterogeneity and diversity of cells in various organs and tissues. However, the transcription profile of the human parotid gland at single-cell resolution has not been reported yet. In this study, we constructed the cell atlas of human parotid gland using the 10× Genomics platform. Characteristic gene analysis identified the biological functions of serous acinar cell populations in secreting digestive enzymes and antibacterial proteins. We revealed the specificity and similarity of the parotid gland compared to other digestive glands through comparative analyses of other published scRNA-seq data sets. We also identified the cell-specific expression of hub genes for Sjögren syndrome in the human parotid gland by integrating the results of genome-wide association studies and bulk RNA-seq, which highlighted the importance of immune cell dysfunction in parotid Sjögren syndrome pathogenesis.

Abstract
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) allows completely resecting deep submucosal tumors (SMTs) in the gastrointestinal wall, which has a broad application prospect in clinic. However, its application and promotion are limited by complex surgical procedures and high surgical risk. Various auxiliary traction techniques are expected to reduce the operation difficulty and risk of EFTR and improve its operative success rate. To provide a reference for clinicians, we summarize various auxiliary traction techniques in EFTR in this article. The clip-with-line method is simple to operate and widely used, whereas its traction is limited and there is a risk of clip falling off. The snare traction method and the clip-snare traction method has advantage of large traction force, but its thrust is affected by the hardness of snare. The traction point of the grasping forceps traction method is flexible and easy to adjust. Nevertheless, it requires the use of a dual-channel upper endoscope, which is difficult to operate. The transparent cap traction method and the full-thickness resection device traction method takes a short time and is easy to promote, whereas the resectable lesion is limited, and the size of the lesion may affect the success rate. In contrast, the suture loop needle-T-tag tissue anchors assisted method has a large resection range, but the operation is complicated and the feasibility has not been verified. The robot-assisted method has flexible operation and excellent visualization, whereas it is expensive and difficult to operate. There is no report of the application of magnetic anchor technology in EFTR, but it may have good application prospects in the auxiliary traction of EFTR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
High volumes of standardized coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans are generated in screening that need to be scored accurately and efficiently to risk stratify individuals.
Purpose
To evaluate the performance of deep learning based software for automatic coronary calcium scoring in a screening setting.
Methods
Participants from the Robinsca trial that underwent low-dose ECG-triggered cardiac CT for calcium scoring were included. CAC was measured with fully automated deep learning prototype and compared to the original manual assessment of the Robinsca trial. Detection rate, positive Agatston score and risk categorization (0–99, 100–399, ≥400) were compared using McNemar test, ICC, and Cohen's kappa. False negative (FN), false positive (FP) rate and diagnostic accuracy were determined for preventive treatment initiation (cut-off ≥100 AU).
Results
In total, 997 participants were included between December 2015 and June 2016. Median age was 61.0 y (IQR: 11.0) and 54.4% was male. A high agreement for detection was found between deep learning based and manual scoring, κ=0.87 (95% CI 0.85–0.89). Median Agatston score was 58.4 (IQR: 12.3–200.2) and 61.2 (IQR: 13.9–212.9) for deep learning based and manual assessment respectively, ICC was 0.958 (95% CI 0.951–0.964). Reclassification rate was 2.0%, with a very high agreement with κ=0.960 (95% CI: 0.943–0.997), p<0.001. FN rate was 0.7% and FP rate was 0.1% and diagnostic accuracy was 99.2% for initiation of preventive treatment.
Conclusion
Deep learning based software for automatic CAC scoring can be used in a cardiovascular CT screening setting with high accuracy for risk categorization and initiation of preventive treatment.

Unusually thick shear-softening surface of micrometer-size metallic glasses. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 2:100106.

Abstract
The surface of glass is crucial for understanding many fundamental processes in glassy solids. A common notion is that a glass surface is a thin layer with liquid-like atomic dynamics and a thickness of a few tens of nanometers. Here, we measured the shear modulus at the surface of both millimeter-size and micrometer-size metallic glasses (MGs) through high-sensitivity torsion techniques. We found a pronounced shear-modulus softening at the surface of MGs. Compared with the bulk, the maximum decrease in the surface shear modulus (G) for the micro-scale MGs reaches ~27%, which is close to the decrease in the G upon glass transition, yet it still behaves solid-like. Strikingly, the surface thickness estimated from the shear-modulus softening is at least 400 nm, which is approximately one order of magnitude larger than that revealed from the glass dynamics. The unusually thick surface is also confirmed by measurements using X-ray nano-computed tomography, and this may account for the brittle-to-ductile transition of the MGs with size reductions. The unique and unusual properties at the surface of the micrometer-size MGs are physically related to the negative pressure effect during the thermoplastic formation process, which can dramatically reduce the density of the proximate surface region in the supercooled liquid state. The shear modulus and thickness of metallic glass (MG) surface is determined through torsion testing on micrometer-size wires The surface region of MG wires has a significant shear-modulus softening close to the supercooled liquid, yet still behaves solid-like The thickness of the soft surface of MG wires is at least 400 nm, which is about one order of magnitude larger than those revealed from surface dynamics The unusually thick surface accounts for the brittle-to-ductile transition of the MGs with size reduction

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the workplace violence and compassion fatigue of nurses in emergency department and to explore the relationship between the two. Methods: The general information questionnaire, workplace violence scale and professional quality of life scale were used to investigate 957 emergency department nurses of 28 Level II hospitals and above. Results: The scores of each dimension of the professional quality of life scale for nurses in the emergency department were: compassion satisfaction score was 29.91±7.82, the burnout score was 26.63±5.66, and the second trauma score was 23.17±5.94. The total score of compassion fatigue is 49.80±10.42. The incidence of workplace violence was 77.6%. Workplace violence was negatively correlated with compassion satisfaction (r=-0.250, P<0.01) , and positively correlated with burnout, secondary trauma, and total compassion fatigue (r=0.349、0.340、0.384, P<0.01) . Whether there is only non-physical violence in the compassion satisfaction, burnout, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue total score is not statistically significant. Conclusion: Compassion fatigue is more serious in emergency department nurses, and the incidence of workplace violence is higher. Workplace violence has a positive effect on compassion fatigue. Nursing managers should actively prevent workplace violence and improve the working environment, thus reducing empathy fatigue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-101 on breast cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis via nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS All MCF-7 cells were divided into 3 groups, namely control group, miR-101 mimic group (the cells were treated with 50 nmol/L miR-101 mimic), and miR-101 inhibitor group (the cells were treated with 50 nmol/L miR-101 inhibitor). The impact of miR-101 expression level on MCF-7 cell proliferation was evaluated via cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assays. After the MCF-7 cells in the three groups were treated with 100 nM H2O2 for 12 h, the change in the apoptosis rate was detected via flow cytometry. Moreover, the influence of miR-101 expression level on the Nrf2 signaling pathway was detected via reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. RESULTS According to the CCK-8 assay results, compared with that in control group, the proliferation rate of cells notably declined at 48, 72, and 96 h in miR-101 mimic group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.01), while it was substantially raised in miR-101 inhibitor group, showing a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). Compared that in control group, the cell colony formation rate was remarkably lowered in miR-101 mimic group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.01), while it was substantially raised in miR-101 inhibitor group (p<0.01). According to the flow cytometry assay results, compared with that in control group, the apoptosis of MCF-7 cells was markedly enhanced in miR-101 mimic group, showing a statistically significant difference (p<0.01), while it was weakened in miR-101 inhibitor group, with a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). The influence of miR-101 on the expression level of Nrf2 was detected via RT-PCR, and it was found that the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of Nrf2 was notably lower in miR-101 mimic group than that in control group (p<0.01), while it was raised in miR-101 inhibitor group. Western blotting results showed that compared with control group, miR-101 mimic group had a substantially lowered protein expression level of Nrf2 in the cell nucleus, with a statistically significant difference (p<0.01), while it was notably raised in miR-101 inhibitor group and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.01), indicating that miR-101 can remarkably lower the nucleoprotein expression level of Nrf2. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study imply that miR-101 can inhibit the expression of Nrf2 to suppress the proliferation of breast cancer cells and enhance their sensitivity to oxidative stress, which provides a theoretical basis for reversal of tumor resistance.
