There is increasing attention on the topic of collaboration for sustainable food supply chains (SFSCs), with increasingly contributing journals and publications every year. The urgency of this topic is even more highlighted due to the COVID‐19 pandemic and the more recent energy and food crisis. Hence, the field needs to have a good portrait of the ongoing research in this area and to better understand future research directions to enable optimized future strategic plans and problem‐solving capability of effective collaboration for SFSCs. This paper reviews, analyses, and synthesizes the current state of research into collaboration for SFSCs. We examine a sample of 528 articles identified from the Scopus and Web of Science databases using bibliometric analysis methodology. We identify four research clusters: collaboration and sustainable supply chain management, emerging markets and resilience, digital technologies, and perishable food products. This paper clarifies interrelated themes and identifies a range of topic areas that still demand further investigation.

Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) and uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) tumors are uniquely aggressive, suggesting that the primary tumor is intrinsically equipped to disseminate and metastasize. Previous work identified mutational hotspots within PPP2R1A, which encodes the Aα scaffolding subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a heterotrimeric serine/threonine phosphatase. Two recurrent heterozygous PPP2R1A mutations, P179R and S256F, occur exclusively within high-grade subtypes of uterine cancer and can drive tumorigenesis and metastasis. Elucidation of the mechanisms by which PP2A-Aα mutants promote tumor development and progression could help identify therapeutic opportunities. Here, we showed that expression of these mutants in USC/UCS cell-lines enhanced tumor-initiating capacity, drove a hybrid epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EM) plasticity phenotype, and elevated secretion of the tumorigenic cytokine IGFBP2. Therapeutic targeting of the IGFBP2/IGF1R signaling axis using small molecules and genetic approaches resulted in marked tumor growth inhibition. Mechanistically, PP2A regulated IGFBP2 expression through the transcription factor, NF-κB, which harbors a B56 recognition motif. Collectively, these results identify a role for PP2A in regulating paracrine cancer cell signaling that can be targeted to block the initiation and metastasis of high-grade uterine cancer.

Chromium (Cr) toxicity impairs essential morphological and metabolic activities in plants. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the beneficial role of plant growth promoting rhizobacterial strains namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa (M1), Burkholderia gladioli (M2) and earthworms (Eisenia fetida) in alleviating Cr toxicity in 10 days old Brassica juncea L. The findings delineated that addition of earthworms and PGPR restored growth, boosted Cr uptake and showed upregulation of metal transporter genes (SULTR 1-4). Supplementation of rhizospheric amendments reinstated Cr induced impairment in photosynthetic attributes. Gaseous exchange attributes, the efficiency of PS II, the content of total phenols, anthocyanin and flavonoids was enhanced with application of earthworms along with PGPR. Confocal imaging of primary photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll), accessory photosynthetic pigment (carotenoids) and total phenols showed maximum fluorescence with combined inoculation of earthworms and both microbial strains (M1M2). The gene expression analysis revealed that Phyotene synthase (PSY), Photosystem II core protein psb A, psb B were down regulated in Cr stressed seedlings which upon supplementation with earthworms and PGPR were upregulated. Further, Phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS) were upregulated with addition of earthworms and PGPR. Increased nitric oxide content, enhanced activity and upregulation of nitrate reductase (NR) gene was observed with addition of PGPR and earthworms

Sewage systems are a major source for microplastics in riverine exports to oceans. Urban areas are generally considered hotspots for microplastic discharge, whereas emissions from rural areas remain largely understudied. Hence, this study investigated the abundance, characteristics, and polymer types of microplastics in rural wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Guiyang and estimated the annual microplastic emissions of China based on sewage discharge. The influent abundance of microplastics was 3.8-8.2 items/L, the effluent abundance was 3.1-5.9 items/L, with a lower removal rate of 14.4%-54.6%, which might be influenced by lower operating loads and influent concentrations. Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed that polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was the predominant polymer type. Rural WWTPs were more effective at removing large-sized particles (> 0.1 mm) and films, resulting in higher removal effectiveness by weight (49.1%) compared to urban WWTPs (30.8%). Based on the abundance of microplastics in WWTPs within the study area and China's annual sewage discharge, this study estimated the microplastic emissions released through sewage in China in 2022. The annual microplastic emissions through sewage in China were estimated to be 2995.7 tons, with rural and urban areas contributing 25.1% and 74.9%, respectively. Approximately 724.8 tons and 1001.6 tons of microplastics were removed from rural and urban WWTPs, respectively. This work indicates the unignorable emissions of microplastics from rural sewage and highlights the crucial role of rural WWTPs in reducing microplastic pollution.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an enigmatic, autoimmune disease targeting the small intralobular bile ducts resulting in cholestasis and potentially progression to biliary cirrhosis. Primarily affecting middle-aged women, the diagnosis of PBC is typically straightforward with most patients presenting with cholestatic liver tests and the highly specific anti-mitochondrial antibody. For decades, the foundational treatment of PBC has been ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) which delays disease progression in most patients but has no impact on PBC symptoms. Large cohort studies of patients with PBC have established the benefit of maximizing the reduction in serum alkaline phosphatase with UDCA and the need to add second-line agents in patients who do not achieve an adequate response. Advances in the understanding of bile acid physiology have led to the development of new agents that improve cholestasis in patients with PBC and are predicted to reduce the risk of disease progression. Obeticholic acid, the first second-line therapy to be approved for PBC, significantly improves liver biochemistries and has been associated with improved long term clinical outcomes but is limited by its propensity to induce pruritus. Elafibranor and seladelpar are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists recently approved for use in patient with PBC, whereas bezafibrate and fenofibrate are available as off-label therapies. They also have shown biochemical improvements among patients with an inadequate response to UDCA, but may improve symptoms of pruritus. Herein, we review the patient features to consider when deciding whether a second-line agent is indicated and which agent to consider for a truly personalized approach to PBC patient care.

Estimating the chemical hazards of drinking water stored in reusable plastic bottles is challenging due to the numerous intentionally and unintentionally added chemicals. To address this, we developed a broad screening strategy using evaporation enrichment and liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) to evaluate migration of non-volatile chemicals from various reusable plastic bottles. The study analyzed a wide range of materials, revealing significant variability in chemical profiles across different bottle types. Over 70% of nearly 1,000 unknown compounds were unique to specific bottles. Silicone, HDPE, LDPE, and PP bottles showed the highest migration rates, with silicone releasing the most unknowns, but also phthalates and plasticizers. PP bottles exhibited concerning migration of clarifying agents and bisphenol A derivatives. In contrast, PS, PET, PETG, and PCTG had minimal migration, indicating lower health risks. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive assessments of plastic materials to improve consumer safety.
由于可重复使用塑料瓶中有意或无意添加了大量化学物质,因此估算可重复使用塑料瓶中储存的饮用水的化学危害具有挑战性。为了解决这个问题,我们开发了一种广泛的筛选策略,利用蒸发富集和液相色谱高分辨质谱法(LC-HRMS)来评估非挥发性化学品从各种可重复使用塑料瓶中的迁移。该研究分析了多种材料,发现不同类型的瓶子在化学特征方面存在显著差异。在近 1000 种未知化合物中,70% 以上是特定瓶子所特有的。硅胶瓶、高密度聚乙烯瓶、低密度聚乙烯瓶和聚丙烯瓶的迁移率最高,其中硅胶瓶释放的未知化合物最多,但也释放邻苯二甲酸盐和增塑剂。聚丙烯瓶显示出澄清剂和双酚 A 衍生物的迁移。相比之下,PS、PET、PETG 和 PCTG 的迁移率最低,表明健康风险较低。这些发现凸显了对塑料材料进行全面评估以提高消费者安全的必要性。

The enrichment of fluoride in the deep geothermal water of the Lantian – Bahe Formation in parts of the Weihe Basin in China is a potential health hazard for the millions of inhabitants of this region. We conducted hydrochemical and hydrogeological analyses of water samples from 31 geothermal wells in the Weihe Basin, with the aims of determining the distribution characteristics, enrichment patterns, hydrochemical processes, and the factors influencing the geochemistry of deep geothermal fluids. We also evaluated the potential health hazards of fluoride ions in these fluids. Our results show that geothermal fluids with high fluoride content are widely distributed in the deep aquifers of the Weihe Basin. The principal hydrochemical types are: HCO3–Na and SO4⋅HCO3⋅Cl–Na. We used hydrodynamic simulation and regression analysis to show that the high proportion of HCO3– in the geothermal water facilitates the precipitation of Ca2+ and the dissolution of fluorine-bearing minerals. The high temperature, alkaline environment, cation exchange reactions, and dissolution and precipitation processes lead to Ca2+ depletion, which facilitates the release of fluoride ions from the surrounding rocks into the geothermal fluids. A human health risk assessment shows that the hazard quotient (HQ) values of geothermal water for adult males, adult females, children, and infants are: 3.96 – 14.41 (median 6.55), 3.32 – 12.08 (median 4.50), 4.63 – 16.84 (median 5.50), and 7.48 – 27.22 (median 9.00), respectively. Infants are the most susceptible to the effects of high fluoride in groundwater due to their physiological characteristics. while the potential health risks of F− for children and adult women/men are relatively low. Therefore, in the process of developing deep geothermal water, it is necessary to prevent it from mixing into shallow drinking water as much as possible. If the fluoride ion content in the shallow water exceeds the standard, it may have an impact on the local environment and residents' health. These findings provide a scientific foundation for the effective management of high fluoride groundwater in the Weihe Basin and analogous regions elsewhere.

The high temperature, alkaline environment, cation exchange reactions, and dissolution and precipitation processes lead to Ca<sup>2+</sup> depletion, which facilitates the release of fluoride ions from the surrounding rocks into the geothermal fluids. A human health risk assessment shows that the hazard quotient (HQ) values of geothermal water for adult males, adult females, children, and infants are: 3.96 – 14.41 (median 6.55), 3.32 – 12.08 (median 4.50), 4.63 – 16.84 (median 5.50), and 7.48 – 27.22 (median 9.00), respectively. Infants are the most susceptible to the effects of high fluoride in groundwater due to their physiological characteristics. while the potential health risks of F<sup>−</sup> for children and adult women/men are relatively low. Therefore, in the process of developing deep geothermal water, it is necessary to prevent it from mixing into shallow drinking water as much as possible. If the fluoride ion content in the shallow water exceeds the standard, it may have an impact on the local environment and residents' health. These findings provide a scientific foundation for the effective management of high fluoride groundwater in the Weihe Basin and analogous regions elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":12,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Health & Safety","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142599632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Bensulfuron-methyl (BSM), a widely used herbicide, can persist in soil and damag sensitive crops. Microbial degradation, supplemented with exogenous additives, provides an effective strategy to enhance BSM breakdown. Hansschlegelia zhihuaiae S113 has been shown to efficiently degrade this sulfonylurea herbicide. However, depending solely on a single strain for degradation proves inefficient and unlikely to achieve ideal remediation in practical applications. This study assessed the impact of various carbon sources on the degradation efficiency of S113 in BSM-polluted soil. Among these, glucose was the most effective, achieving a 98.7% degradation rate after 9 d of inoculation. In addition, seven intermediates were detected during BSM degradation in soil through the cleavage of the phenyl ring ester bond, the pyrimidine rings, and urea bridge peptide bond, among other pathways. 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxy pyrimidine (ADMP), and 2-(aminosulfonylmethyl)-methyl benzoate(MSMB) were the primary intermediates. These metabolites were less toxic to maize, sorghum, and bacteria than the BSM. Community structure analysis indicated that variations in exogenous carbon sources and environmental pollutants significantly improved the ecological functions of soil microbial communities, enhancing pollutant degradation. Addition of carbon sources notably affected soil microbial community structure, modifying metabolic activities and interaction patterns. Specifically, glucose substantially increased the richness and diversity of soil bacterial communities. These findings offer valuable insights for field remediation practices and contributed to the development of more robuste soil pollution management strategies.
