Strengthening national salt reduction strategies using multiple methods process evaluations - case studies from Malaysia and Mongolia
CONCLUSIONS: In the first half of Malaysia's and Mongolia's strategies, both countries generated necessary evidence and education materials, mobilised health professionals to deliver salt reduction education and achieved small-scale reformulation in foods. Both subsequently should focus on implementing regulatory policies and achieving population-wide reach and impact. Process evaluations of existing salt reduction strategies can help strengthen intervention delivery, aiding achievement of WHO's 30% reduction in salt intake by 2025 target.PMID:38343162 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002781 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Siai Du
As urban economies flourish and populations become increasingly concentrated, urban surface deformation has emerged as a critical factor in city planning that cannot be overlooked. Surface deformation in urban areas can lead to deformations in structural supports of infrastructure such as road bases and bridges, thereby posing a serious threat to public safety and creating significant safety hazards. Consequently, research focusing on the monitoring of urban surface deformation holds paramount importance. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), as an important means of earth observation, has a...

Isolation and characterization of genotype 4 Eurasian avian-like H1N1 influenza virus in pigs suffering from pneumonia
Virology. 2024 Feb 2;592:110009. doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2024.110009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSwine influenza viruses pose ongoing threat to pork industry throughout the world. In 2023, fattening pigs from a swine farm in Inner Mongolia of China experienced influenza-like symptoms. Co-infection of influenza A virus with Pasteurella multocida was diagnosed in lung tissues of diseased pigs and a genotype 4 (G4) Eurasian avian-like (EA) H1N1 virus was isolated, which was named as A/swine/Neimenggu/0326/2023. We demonstrated the virus preferentially bound human-like SAα2,6Gal receptor. It was noteworthy that the virus poss...

Assessment of Air Pollution in Ulaanbaatar Using the Moss Bag Technique
Arch Environ Contam Toxicol. 2024 Feb 8. doi: 10.1007/s00244-024-01050-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTActive moss biomonitoring, the so-called moss bag technique, widely applied in many countries, for the first time, was applied to assess the air quality in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia). Moss bags with Sphagnum girgensohnii Russow were exposed in triplicate in three different periods: December-February, March-May, and December-May at 13 governmental air quality monitoring stations located in the vicinity of thermal power plants and residential areas. The plant tissue content of Al, Ba, Co, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, P, Pb, Sr, S, V, A...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 252: Sequencing, Analysis and Organization of the Complete Genome of a Novel Baculovirus Calliteara abietis Nucleopolyhedrovirus (CaabNPV)
This study focuses on the characterization of a baculovirus isolated from larvae of Calliteara abietis (Erebidae, Lymantriidae) collected in Mongolian pinaceae forests. This new isolate was called Calliteara abietis nucleopolyhedrovirus (CaabNPV). CaabNPV exhibits an irregular polyhedron shape, and significant variation in the diameter of its occlusion bodies (OBs) was observed. Nucleotide distance calculations confirmed CaabNPV as a novel baculovirus. The CaabNPV genome spans 177,161 bp with a G+C content of 45.12% and harbors 150 potential open reading frames (ORFs), including 38 core genes. A comprehensive genomic analy...

Sustained exposure to Helicobacter pylori induces immune tolerance by desensitizing TLR6
AbstractHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori, Hp) has been designated a class I carcinogen and is closely associated with severe gastric diseases. During colonization in the gastric mucosa,H. pylori develops immune escape by inducing host immune tolerance. The gastric epithelium acts as the first line of defense againstH. pylori, with Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in gastric epithelial cells being sensitive toH. pylori components and subsequently activating the innate immune system. However, the mechanism of immune tolerance induced byH. pylori through the TLR signalling pathway has not been fully elucidated. In this research, we d...

GSE254391 Regulation of Spermatogenesis by Different Alternative Splicing Events of MEI1 Gene in Mongolian Horse
In this study, the expression of MEI1 gene was determined by immunofluorescence in the third generation Mongolian horse testicular sertoli cells. Two overexpressed lentiviral vectors with MXE and SE events of MEI1 gene were constructed and successfully infected into sertoli cells. CCK-8 was used to detect the proliferation and activity of infected cells, transcripomics and metabolomics were used to screen and annotate differential genes and differential metabolites in the two sertoli cells with MXE and SE events. After 72 h of virus infection, 193 differentially expressed genes and 11360 differentially expressed metabolite...

Combinations of the azaquinazoline anti-Wolbachia agent, AWZ1066S, with benzimidazole anthelmintics synergise to mediate sub-seven-day sterilising and curative efficacies in experimental models of filariasis
Lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis are two major neglected tropical diseases that are responsible for causing severe disability in 50 million people worldwide, whilst veterinary filariasis (heartworm) is a potentially lethal parasitic infection of companion animals. There is an urgent need for safe, short-course curative (macrofilaricidal) drugs to eliminate these debilitating parasite infections. We investigated combination treatments of the novel anti-Wolbachia azaquinazoline small molecule, AWZ1066S, with benzimidazole drugs (albendazole or oxfendazole) in up to four different rodent filariasis infection models: Br...

128. Hazardous Alcohol Drinking and Attitude Among Youth With Mental Health Care Needs
Adolescents and youth health is often overlooked in Mongolian health system. These population group is unlikely to report mental health conditions due poor healthcare-seeking behavior. Currently there are no culturally validated screening tools for psychosocial issues of adolescents and youths, and healthcare providers fail to detect any risk-taking behavior at critical stage of life. This multifaceted gap leads to higher rates for fatal and severe health outcomes; suicide and substance abuse in youth. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)
