The environment serves as a significant reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) microbes and genes and is increasingly recognized as key source of clinical AMR. Modern human activities impose an additional burden on environmental AMR, promoting its transmission to clinical setting and posing a serious threat to human health and welfare. Therefore, a comprehensive review of AMR transmission from the environment to the clinic, along with proposed effective control strategies, is crucial. This review systematically summarized current research on the transmission of environmental AMR to clinical settings. Furthermore, the transmission pathways, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms, as well as the influential drivers including triple planetary crisis that may facilitate AMR transfer from environmental species to clinical pathogens are highlighted. In response to the growing trend of AMR transmission, we propose insightful mitigation strategies under the One Health framework, integrating advanced surveillance and tracking technologies, interdisciplinary knowledge, multisectoral interventions, alongside multiple antimicrobial use and stewardship approaches to tacking development and spread of AMR.

Thyroid cancer (THCA) is an increasingly common malignant tumor of the endocrine system, with its incidence rising steadily in recent years. For patients who experience recurrence or metastasis, treatment options are relatively limited, and the prognosis is poor. Therefore, exploring new therapeutic strategies has become particularly urgent.

Leukemia covers a broad category of cancer malignancies that specifically affect bone marrow and blood cells. While different kinds of leukemia have been identified, effective treatments are still lacking for most forms, and even those treatments considered effective can lead to relapses. MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are short endogenous non-coding single-stranded RNAs that help control the epigenetics of gene expression.
