Background: 3-9% of low-grade preinvasive bronchial lesions progress to cancer. This study assessed the usefulness of an intensive bronchoscopy surveillance strategy in patients with bronchial lesions up to moderate squamous dysplasia.

Methods: SELEPREBB (ClinicalTrials.

Previous studies using zearalenone (ZEN) and fumonisins (FB) revealed alpha-zearalanol (α-ZOL) and FB1 in the liver of turkeys and chickens with no sign of toxicity. The aim of the present study was to determine whether contamination persists after distribution of a mycotoxin-free diet for several days. Turkeys and broilers were fed for 14 days with a diet containing respectively, 7.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers measured zearalenone (ZEN) and its metabolites in the livers of turkeys and chickens fed different diets, including one with various mycotoxins.
  • The study found ZEN and zearalenols (ZOLs) present mostly in their conjugated forms, with α-ZOL being the most prevalent.
  • A diet with multiple mycotoxins notably increased total metabolite levels in chickens' livers, especially free forms of α-ZOL, while no traces were found in muscle tissue, indicating that other toxins may affect ZEN metabolism.

Surveys of mycotoxins worldwide have shown that deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins (FB), and zearalenone (ZON) are the most abundant mycotoxins (FUS) in European poultry feed, in both the level and the frequency of contamination. Previous studies reported that a combination of FUS at concentrations that individually are not toxic may negatively affect animals. However, although toxic thresholds and regulatory guidelines exist for FUS, none account for the risk of multiple contamination, which is the most frequent.
