Pesticide residue and dietary intake risk of vegetables grown in Shanghai under modern urban agriculture in 2018-2021.

Shanghai as an international metropolis is representative of modern urban agriculture in China, so it is of great significance to analyse the pesticide residue in vegetables grown in Shanghai. This study investigated the residue of 68 commonly used pesticides (divided into insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and plant growth regulators) in 7028 vegetable samples in Shanghai from 2018 to 2021, and estimated the dietary intake risk of these pesticides. These samples were divided into 6 categories.

Trismus in head and neck cancer: translation and validation of the Chinese version of the Gothenburg Trismus Questionnaire-2 (C-GTQ-2).

Objectives: Trismus, marked by restricted mouth opening, significantly affects patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and head and neck cancer (HNC). Despite its prevalence, specialized questionnaires for trismus assessment are scarce. This study aims to fill this gap by translating and validating the Gothenburg Trismus Questionnaire version 2 (GTQ-2) into Chinese (C-GTQ-2), enhancing the evaluation of trismus in HNC and TMD patients.

[Determination of bovine lactoferrin in milk and dairy products by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry].

An ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established for the quantitative detection of bovine lactoferrin in dairy products. The samples were treated by degreasing and tryptic hydrolysis. Proteins of bovine lactoferrin and peptides were identified using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic orbitrap-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/Exactive-HRMS) and analyzed by Protein Pilot software.
