Poultry, a vital economic animal, provide a high-quality protein source for human nutrition. Over the past decade, the poultry industry has witnessed substantial achievements in breeding, precision feeding, and welfare farming. However, there are still many challenges restricting the sustainable development of the poultry industry.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the cancer risk associated with aristolochic acid (AA) in patients diagnosed with AA nephropathy (AAN) from 1997 to 2014.
  • A total of 337 AAN patients were monitored, revealing that while no liver cancer cases were found, a significant number (34 out of 39) developed urinary cancer.
  • Key risk factors identified included age, follow-up duration, and diabetes, but the amount of AA consumed did not correlate with increased urinary cancer risk.

A broad light-harvesting range and efficient charge separation are two main ways to enhance the visible photocatalytic performance of semiconductors. Herein, an ionic porphyrin MOF [In(TPyP)]·(NO) (1) (TPyP = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)-21,23-porphyrin) was synthesized metalation. The orderly arranged porphyrin photosensitizer and the internal electric field between the MOF host and NO guests enable effective visible light response and electron-hole separation.

With the increase in the medical level, the improvement of adverse drug reaction(ADR) monitoring systems, and the enhancement of public awareness of safe medication, drug safety incidents have been frequently reported. Drug-induced liver injury(DILI), especially liver injury attributed to herbal and dietary supplements(HDS), has globally attracted high attention, bringing great threats and severe challenges to the people for drug safety management such as clinical medication and medical supervision. Consensus on drug-induced liver injury had been published by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences(CIOMS) in 2020.

Global eutrophication and climate warming exacerbate production of cyanotoxins such as microcystins (MCs), presenting risks to human and animal health. Africa is a continent suffering from severe environmental crises, including MC intoxication, but with very limited understanding of the occurrence and extent of MCs. By analysing 90 publications from 1989 to 2019, we found that in various water bodies where MCs have been detected so far, the concentrations were 1.

Backgrounds: Drug induced liver injury (DILI) is sometimes similar to autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in serology and histology. Clinicians empirically screened DILI with significant autoimmune characteristics to implement clinical intervention. We tried to characterize DILI with autoantibodies by metabolomics.

Background: Living near green spaces may benefit various health outcomes. However, no studies have investigated the greenness-bone linkage in the general population. Moreover, to which extent ambient air pollution (AAP), physical activity (PA), and body mass index (BMI) mediate this relationship remains unclear.

Objective: Aging population is generally considered more sensitive to adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Yet, big data-based quantitative evidence currently does not exist to support this concept. This study aims to investigate age-associated risks of liver-related ADR (L-ADR).

Background: The widely used Air Quality Index (AQI) has been criticized due to its inaccuracy, leading to the development of the air quality health index (AQHI), an improvement on the AQI. However, there is currently no consensus on the most appropriate construction strategy for the AQHI.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the utility of AQHIs constructed by different models and health outcomes, and determine a better strategy.

Objective: To analyze clinical feature and information of medication to explore the risk signals of preparations containing Psoraleae Fructus (BGZP) related with hepatobiliary adverse drug reactions (ADR), in order to reinforce pharmacovigilance.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted based on hepatobiliary ADR related with BGZP from the China Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System in years from January 2012 to December 2016. Serious and general ADRs were analyzed and assessed.

Chronic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) occurs in up to 20% of all DILI patients. It presents a chronic pattern with persistent or relapsed episodes and may even progress to cirrhosis. However, its underlying development mechanism is poorly understood.

Objective: To compare the risk of liver-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in children and adults.

Study Design: A case/non-case analysis on spontaneous reports based on the China National Adverse Drug Reactions Monitoring System database were conducted, focusing on events of liver-related ADRs in children younger than 14 years of age. Both the relative risk of liver-related ADRs in children vs entire population and the risk stratification in children were expressed as a measure of disproportionality using the reporting odds ratio (ROR).

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mycotoxin binders in reducing the adverse effects of co-occurring dietary aflatoxin B (AFB), deoxynivalenol (DON) and ochratoxin A (OTA) on laying hens. Three hundred and sixty 26-week-old Roman laying hens were randomly allocated into four experimental groups with 10 replicates of nine birds each. The four groups received either a basal diet (BD; Control), a BD supplemented with 0.

Green tea extract (GTE) is popular in weight loss, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is considered as the main active component. However, GTE is the primary cause of herbal and dietary supplement-induced liver injury in the United States. Whether there is a greater risk of liver injury when EGCG is consumed during dieting for weight loss has not been previously reported.

Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) rapidly increased over the past decades. However, little evidence exists about the effects of long-term exposure to ambient air pollution on MetS in children and adolescents.

Objective: This study aims to assess the association between long-term ambient air pollution and the prevalence of MetS in a large population of Chinese children and adolescents.

Keyin Pills is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of psoriasis, but it has been reported that it can cause serious liver injury. In this paper, we used the integrated evidence chain method to retrieve and reevaluate the adverse drug reaction database, CNKI literature and cases of liver injury relating to Keyin Pills in specialist hepatology hospitals. We screened out 23 cases with the causal relationship of the possible grade and above.

The diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains a challenge and the cases of Thunb. (PM) induced DILI (PM-DILI) have received much attention This study aimed to identify a simple and high-efficiency approach to PM-DILI diagnosis via metabolomics analysis. Plasma metabolites in 13 PM-DILI patients were profiled by liquid chromatography along with high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous research suggests green spaces can positively impact health, but studies on how school greenness affects children's obesity are limited.
  • This study examined the relationship between greenery around schools and body fat in over 56,000 Chinese children aged 6-18 using satellite data.
  • Findings indicated that increased school greenness was linked to lower body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, with air pollution partially influencing this connection, but physical activity did not show a significant mediating effect.*

Experimental data suggests that PM is more toxic than PM although the epidemiologic evidence suggests that the health associations are similar. However, few objective exposure data are available to compare the associations of PM and PM with children lung function. Our objectives are a) to evaluate associations between long-term exposure to PM, PM and children's lung function, and b) to compare the associations between PM and PM.

  • A study analyzed 1,392 reports of liver injuries linked to medications for bone diseases, showing that 18.75% used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and 68.68% used Western medicine, making up 2.5% of all drug-related liver injuries.
  • The average patient was 54 years old, with a noted imbalance in gender: more women with rheumatoid arthritis (1:2.6) and more men with gout (7.16:1).
  • The overall recovery rate from liver injuries was high at 85.27%, but the onset of liver injuries varied, with TCM typically having a longer delay (27 days) compared to Western medicine (11 days), indicating a need for
