Case report: Neglected subacute thyroiditis: a case following COVID-19 vaccination.

We report a case of overlooked Subacute Thyroiditis (SAT) potentially induced by the administration of a COVID-19 vaccine. This case prompted a thorough review of the existing literature to elucidate possible mechanisms by which immune responses to the COVID-19 vaccine might precipitate thyroid damage. The primary objective is to enhance the clinical understanding and awareness of SAT among healthcare professionals.

Study on the effect of different aldehyde modifiers on the fume suppression effect, mechanism and road performance of SBS modified asphalt.

In order to curb asphalt fume emissions during the heating process of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) asphalt, three aldehyde modifiers [vanillin (X), citral (N) and amyl cinnamaldehyde (J)] were blended into SBS-modified asphalt to prepare aldehyde-modified asphalt in this paper. By collecting solid particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in asphalt fumes to conduct relevant experiments, we have analyzed the fume suppression effect and suppression mechanism of aldehyde modified asphalt, and finally examined the road performance of aldehyde modifiers with the best fume suppression effect. It was found that the average VOCs concentration of aldehyde modified asphalt was reduced by about 78 % after 30 min.

AQDS Activates Extracellular Synergistic Biodetoxification of Copper and Selenite via Altering the Coordination Environment of Outer-Membrane Proteins.

The biotransformation of heavy metals in the environment is usually affected by co-existing pollutants like selenium (Se), which may lower the ecotoxicity of heavy metals, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we shed light on the pathways of copper (Cu) and selenite (SeO) synergistic biodetoxification by MR-1 and illustrate how such processes are affected by anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS), an analogue of humic substances. We observed the formation of copper selenide nanoparticles (CuSe) from synergistic detoxification of Cu and SeO in the periplasm.

Associations between gestational diabetes mellitus and the neurodevelopment of offspring from 1 month to 72 months: study protocol for a cohort study.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common gestational disease and an important global public health problem. GDM may affect the short-term and long-term health of offspring, but the associations between GDM and the neurodevelopment of offspring of mothers with GDM (OGDM) are still unclear, and studies based on the Chinese population are lacking. We aim to determine the associations between GDM and the neurodevelopment of OGDM by studying a cohort of OGDM and offspring of non-GDM mothers.
