H2 generated by fermentation in the human gut microbiome influences metabolism and competitive fitness of gut butyrate producers by Austin Campbell, Kristi Gdanetz, Alexander W. Schmidt, Thomas M. Schmidt

“…Regulation of butyrate production in the human gut is of particular interest due to its role as a mediator of colonic health through anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. Results For butyrogens that contained a hydrogenase, growth under a high H2 atmosphere or in the presence of the hydrogenase inhibitor CO stimulated production of organic fermentation products that accommodate reducing power generated during glycolysis, specifically butyrate, lactate, and formate. …”

Spatial and individual factors mediate the tissue burden of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in adult and chick brown pelicans in the northern Gulf of Mexico by Patrick G. R. Jodice, Juliet S. Lamb, Yvan G. Satgé, Christopher Perkins

“…Among the pollutants of highest concern within the region are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which tend to be toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic. We assessed PAH loads in blood from adult brown pelicans and from feathers of adults and chicks of brown pelicans in relation to individual (e.g., body condition, sex) and spatial (e.g., breeding location within the Gulf, home range size, migration distance) factors. …”

Incident cancer risk in dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor-treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by Choi YJ, Kim DJ, Shin S

“…No signal of increased risk of malignant complications among DPP-4 inhibitor-receiving diabetic patients was detected in any of the individual strata, nor in the subgroup patients where insulin-exposed patients were excluded from study analyses in consideration of its carcinogenic properties. Patient death or incident pancreatitis events were seldom encountered in both treatment groups; hence such risks were assessed as negligible with the use of either antidiabetic therapy.Conclusion: This PS-matched cohort study demonstrated no elevated risk of malignant complications with DPP-4 inhibitor treatment relative to metformin treatment among T2DM patients, irrespective of patient sex, age, comorbid conditions, and diabetes severity status. …”

Determination of Soil Fertility Characteristics and Heavy Metal Health Risks Using the <i>Camellia oleifera</i> Planting Base in Guizhou Province, China by Guoyuan Yang, Zhi Li, Xu Xiao

“…The soil was rich in organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, and available phosphorus, with a high total potassium content, total phosphorus content, and rapidly available potassium, indicating a high level of comprehensive soil fertility. (2) The total carcinogenic risk (CR) index of the arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr) in the soil was 1.92 × 10⁻⁷, and among these elements, the CR index of the As was the highest (1.3–8.0 × 10⁻⁷), but all were below the highest acceptable level (10⁻⁶) recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). (3) The redundancy analysis (RDA) between the soil fertility and trace elements revealed that the soil organic matter content was positively correlated with the contents of lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), and Cr and negatively correlated with the contents of zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), Cd, mercury (Hg), As, and copper (Cu). …”
