	       	<title>Impact of Air Pollutants on Lung Function and Inflammatory Response in Asthma in Shanghai</title>
	      	<link>//article/id/c77c8dd6-3ed1-45e6-a313-a3dfbfa0088d</link>
	     	<description><![CDATA[&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Objective&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;Air pollution is a leading public health issue. This study investigated the effect of air quality and pollutants on pulmonary function and inflammation in patients with asthma in Shanghai.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Methods&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;The study monitored 27 asthma outpatients for a year, collecting data on weather, patient self-management [daily asthma diary, peak expiratory flow (PEF) monitoring, medication usage], spirometry and serum markers. To explore the potential mechanisms of any effects, asthmatic mice induced by ovalbumin (OVA) were exposed to PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt;.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Results&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;Statistical and correlational analyses revealed that air pollutants have both acute and chronic effects on asthma. Acute exposure showed a correlation between PEF and levels of ozone (O&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt;) and nitrogen dioxide (NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt;). Chronic exposure indicated that interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) levels correlated with PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; and PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;10&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; concentrations. In asthmatic mouse models, exposure to PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; increased cytokine levels and worsened lung function. Additionally, PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; exposure inhibited cell proliferation by blocking the NF-κB and ERK phosphorylation pathways.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Conclusion&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;Ambient air pollutants exacerbate asthma by worsening lung function and enhancing Th2-mediated inflammation. Specifically, PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; significantly contributes to these adverse effects. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; impacts asthma.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;]]></description>

	     	<description><![CDATA[&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Objective&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;In recent decades, China has implemented a series of policies to address air pollution. We aimed to assess the health effects of these policies on stroke burden attributable to ambient fine particulate matter (PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt;).&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Methods&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;i&amp;lt;Joinpoint&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; regression was applied to explore the temporal tendency of stroke burden based on data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Results&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;The age-standardized rates of disability-adjusted life year (DALY) for stroke attributable to ambient PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; in China, increased dramatically during 1990−2012, subsequently decreased at an annual percentage change (APC) of −1.98 [95% confidence interval (&amp;lt;i&amp;lt;CI&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt;): −2.26, −1.71] during 2012−2019. For ischemic stroke (IS), the age-standardized DALY rates doubled from 1990 to 2014, and decreased at an APC of −0.83 (95% &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;CI&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt;: −1.33, −0.33) during 2014−2019. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) showed a substantial increase in age-standardized DALY rates from 1990 to 2003, followed by declining trends, with APCs of −1.46 (95% &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;CI&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt;: −2.74, −0.16) during 2003−2007 and −3.33 (95% &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;CI&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt;: −3.61, −3.06) during 2011−2019, respectively. Conversely, the age-standardized DALY rates for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) generally declined during 1990−2019.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Conclusion&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;Our results clarified the dynamic changes of the ambient PM&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;2.5−&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt;attributable stroke burden in China during 1990−2019, highlighting the health effects of air quality improvement policies.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;]]></description>

	       	<title>ATM Activation is Key in Vasculogenic Mimicry Formation by Glioma Stem-like Cells</title>
	      	<link>//article/id/793de516-97ea-41ed-89bf-a929a3e1c168</link>
	     	<description><![CDATA[&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Objective&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is a novel vasculogenic process integral to glioma stem cells (GSCs) in glioblastoma (GBM). However, the relationship between VM and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) serine/threonine kinase activation, which confers chemoradiotherapy resistance, remains unclear.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Methods&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; We investigated VM formation and phosphorylated ATM (pATM) levels by CD31/GFAP-periodic acid-Schiff dual staining and immunohistochemical staining in 145 GBM specimens. Glioma stem-like cells (GSLCs) derived from the formatted spheres of U87 and U251 cell lines and their pATM level and VM formation ability were examined using western blot and three-dimensional culture. For the examination of the function of pATM in VM formation by GSLCs, ATM knockdown by shRNAs and deactivated &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;via&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; ATM phosphorylation inhibitor KU55933 were studied.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Results&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; VM and high pATM expression occurred in 38.5% and 41.8% of tumors, respectively, and were significantly associated with reduced progression-free and overall survival. Patients with VM-positive GBMs exhibited higher pATM levels (&amp;lt;i&amp;lt;r&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sub&amp;lt;s&amp;lt;/sub&amp;lt; = 0.425, &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;P&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; = 0.01). The multivariate analysis established VM as an independent negative prognostic factor (&amp;lt;i&amp;lt;P&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; = 0.002). Furthermore, GSLCs expressed high levels of pATM and formed vascular-like networks &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;in vitro&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt;. ATM inactivation or knockdown hindered VM-like network formation concomitant with the downregulation of pVEGFR-2, VE-cadherin, and laminin B2.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Conclusion&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; VM may predict a poor GBM prognosis and is associated with pATM expression. We propose that pATM promotes VM through extracellular matrix modulation and VE-Cadherin / pVEGFR-2 activation, thereby highlighting ATM activation as a potential target for enhancing anti-angiogenesis therapies for GBM.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;]]></description>

	       	<title>Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 5 Mediates Wnt5a Expression in Microcystin-Leucine-Arginine-Induced Liver Lipid Metabolism Disorder in Mice</title>
	      	<link>//article/id/c404881d-1775-43d9-80be-31bce961963b</link>
	     	<description><![CDATA[&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Objective&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) exposure induces lipid metabolism disorders in the liver. Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) is a natural antagonist of winglesstype MMTV integration site family, member 5A (Wnt5a) and an anti-inflammatory adipocytokine. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether MC-LR can induce lipid metabolism disorders in hepatocytes and whether SFRP5, which has anti-inflammatory effects, can alleviate the effects of hepatic lipid metabolism by inhibiting the Wnt5a/Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Methods&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;We exposed mice to MC-LR &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;in vivo&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; to induce liver lipid metabolism disorders. Subsequently, mouse hepatocytes that overexpressed SFRP5 or did not express SFRP5 were exposed to MC-LR, and the effects of SFRP5 overexpression on inflammation and Wnt5a/JNK activation by MC-LR were observed.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Results&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;MC-LR exposure induced liver lipid metabolism disorders in mice and significantly decreased SFRP5 mRNA and protein levels in a concentration-dependent manner. SFRP5 overexpression in AML12 cells suppressed MC-LR-induced inflammation. Overexpression of SFRP5 also inhibited Wnt5a and phosphorylation of JNK.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Conclusion&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;MC-LR can induce lipid metabolism disorders in mice, and SFRP5 can attenuate lipid metabolism disorders in the mouse liver by inhibiting Wnt5a/JNK signaling.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;]]></description>

Seven typical chlorinated DBPs in recreational water and spray samples were quantified by gas chromatography, and the health risks to amusement park employees exposed to chlorinated DBPs were evaluated according to the WHO’s risk assessment framework.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Results&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; Trichloroacetic acid, dibromochloromethane, bromodichloromethane, and dichloroacetic acid were detected predominantly in recreational water. The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of the five DBPs did not exceed the risk thresholds. In addition, the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of mixed exposure to DBPs were within the acceptable risk limits.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Conclusion&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; Typical DBPs were widely detected in recreational water collected from three large amusement parks in Shanghai; however, the health risks of DBPs and their mixtures were within acceptable limits.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;]]></description>

	       	<title>Association between Exposure of Rare Earth Elements and Outcomes of &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;In Vitro&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; Fertilization-Embryo Transfer in Beijing</title>

	     	<description><![CDATA[&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Objective&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;The study aimed to investigate the impact of rare earth elements (REEs) exposure on pregnancy outcomes of &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;in vitro&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) by analyzing samples from spouses.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Methods&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;A total of 141 couples were included. Blood and follicular fluid from the wives and semen plasma from the husbands, were analyzed for REEs using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Spearman’s correlation coefficients and the Mann–Whitney U test were used to assess correlations and compare REE concentrations among three types of samples, respectively. Logistic models were utilized to estimate the individual REE effect on IVF-ET outcomes, while BKMR and WQS models explored the mixture of REE interaction effects on IVF-ET outcomes.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Results&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;Higher La concentration in semen (median 0.089 ng/mL, &amp;lt;i&amp;lt;P&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; = 0.03) was associated with a lower fertilization rate. However, this effect was not observed after artificial selection intervention through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) (&amp;lt;i&amp;lt;P&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; = 0.27). In semen, the REEs mixture did not exhibit any significant association with clinical pregnancy.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Conclusion&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp;Our study revealed a potential association between high La exposure in semen and a decline in fertilization rate, but not clinical pregnancy rate. This is the first to report REEs concentrations in follicular fluid with La, Ce, Pr, and Nd found at significantly lower concentrations than in serum, suggesting that these four REEs may not accumulate in the female reproductive system. However, at the current exposure levels, mixed REEs exposure did not exhibit reproductive toxicity.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;]]></description>

The CBF values of the bilateral anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), posterior cerebral artery (PCA), and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) territories and the laterality index (LI) of CBF were compared between the AMS and non-AMS groups. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the relationship between CBF and AMS, and the predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Results&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; The mean cortical CBF in women (81.65 ± 2.69 mL/100 g/min) was higher than that in men (74.35 ± 2.12 mL/100 g/min) (&amp;lt;i&amp;lt;P&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; &amp;lt; 0.05). In men, the cortical CBF values in the bilateral ACA, PCA, PICA, and right MCA were higher in patients with AMS than in those without. Cortical CBF in the right PCA best predicted AMS (AUC = 0.818). In women, the LI of CBF in the ACA was different between the AMS and non-AMS groups and predicted AMS with an AUC of 0.753.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;&amp;lt;sec&amp;lt;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;lt;b&amp;lt;Conclusion&amp;lt;/b&amp;lt;  &amp;nbsp; Although the mechanism and prediction of AMS are quite complicated, higher cortical CBF at sea level, especially the CBF of the posterior circulatory system, may be used for prediction in male volunteers using non-invasive 3D-pCASL.&amp;lt;/sec&amp;lt;]]></description>

	       	<title>Long-Term Survival Trend of Gynecological Cancer: A Systematic Review of Population-Based Cancer Registration Data</title>
	      	<link>//article/id/54545b3a-8bab-4adf-b8c3-bee45205a329</link>
	     	<description><![CDATA[Gynecological cancer significantly affect the health of women. This review aimed to describe the global patterns and trends in the survival of patients with gynecological cancers. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SinoMed, and SEER for survival analyses of cancer registration data of cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers published between 1980 and 2022. Globally, the highest 5-year observed survival rate for cervical cancer was 76.5% in Anshan, Liaoning, China (2008–2017). The 5-year observed survival rates of endometrial and ovarian cancers were higher in Finland (1995–1999, 82.5%) and Singapore (1988–1992, 62.0%). The 5-year relative survival rate of cervical cancer patients was higher in Haining, Zhejiang, China (2011–2014, 85.8%). Korea ranked first at 89.0% and 64.5% for endometrial and ovarian cancers, respectively. Survival rates have improved for cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. Patients aged ≥ 75 years and those with advanced-stage disease had the worst 5-year survival rates. Survival rates were better for squamous cell carcinoma in cervical cancer, for endometrial carcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma in endometrial cancer, and for germ cell and sex-cord stromal tumors in ovarian cancer. Over the past four decades, the survival rates of gynecological cancers have increased globally, with notable increases in cervical and endometrial cancers. Survival rates are higher in developed countries, with a slow-growing trend. Future studies should focus on improving survival, especially in ovarian cancer patients.]]></description>

	     	<description><![CDATA[Gas explosions, a major occupational hazard in China’s coal industry, endanger the lives and health of miners. These explosions cause a specific type of traumatic brain injury with complex mechanisms, leading to disability and death. A study by Zhao et al&amp;lt;i&amp;lt;.&amp;lt;/i&amp;lt; using magnetic resonance imaging on 49 gas explosion survivors revealed significant damage to brain regions like the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Similarly, our recent animal experiments conducted in a real tunnel environment demonstrated that gas explosions alter rat neurobehavior, cause microscopic structural damage to brain tissue, and impaired function&amp;lt;sup&amp;lt;[&amp;lt;xref ref-type=&quot;bibr&quot; rid=&quot;b1&quot;&amp;lt;1&amp;lt;/xref&amp;lt;]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;lt;. However, the underlying physiological and pathological mechanisms of this blast-induced brain injury remain unclear.]]></description>
