Fluridone is a pyrrolidone soil-sealing herbicide that has been widely used in cotton fields in Xinjiang in recent years. The purpose of this study was to establish a method for determining fluridone residues in cotton fields and to perform residue digestion tests, final residue analysis, and dietary risk assessment. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile, purified with primary secondary amine (PSA) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that in a certain concentration range, the concentration and peak area of fluridone showed a good linear relationship (R > 0.99), with limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values of 0.00090-0.00108 mg·kg and 0.0030-0.0033 mg·kg, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values of fluridone were 0.46% to 4.57% at the spiked level of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg·kg, respectively. The average daily recovery rate of fluridone was 85.08% to 95.07%. The residual levels of fluridone in cottonseed oil were below the safety threshold, indicating no significant dietary risk to consumers.

Background: The potential association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, as well as colorectal adenomas (CRA) risk, has been extensively studied, but the findings remain inconclusive. We conducted this systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between the DII and CRC and CRA.
Methods: We comprehensively searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for cohort and case-control studies reporting the relationship between DII and CRA, or between DII and CRC, as of 15 July 2025.

Insulin resistance is a heritable risk factor for many chronic diseases; however, the genetic drivers remain elusive. In seeking these, we performed genetic mapping of insulin sensitivity in 670 chow-fed Diversity Outbred in Australia (DOz) mice and identified a genome-wide significant locus (QTL) on chromosome 8 encompassing 17 defensin genes. By taking a systems genetics approach, we identified alpha-defensin 26 (Defa26) as the causal gene in this region.

Aims: Young people are consuming less healthy diets such as Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), which is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases, including obesity. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the literature concerning the prevalence and trends of adherence to the (MedDiet) in a young Spanish population (aged 2-24 years) from 2004 to 2023.
Data Synthesis: The present review included observational studies and final assessments of longitudinal studies to assess the prevalence or trend in adherence to the MedDiet using the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for Children and Adolescents (KIDMED) in three categories (low (≤3), medium (4-7), and high (≥8)).

Background & Aims: To investigate association between socioeconomic status (SES) and risk of incident irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and mediating role of lifestyle factors.
Methods: Participants free of IBS at recruitment were included in this retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cohort (N=353,790). SES was assessed through household income, education and employment status, with different patterns identified through latent class analysis.
