Evaluation of Storage Conditions and Pre‐Treatment Methods to Mitigate Aflatoxin Contamination in Commonly Used Chinese Herbal Medicines

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
High temperature and humidity significantly promote aflatoxin contamination in herbal medicines. This research demonstrates that drying, vacuum packaging, and sulfur fumigation are effective strategies to minimize contamination and extend shelf life, whereas UV exposure proves ineffective for decontamination.

Association study of candidate genes for susceptibility to Kashin-Beck disease in a Tibetan population

BMC Medical Genetics, 2017
Background Many osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility genes have been identified in recent years. Given the overlap in the phenotype of joint inflammation between OA and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD), the aim of this study is to explore whether the reported OA ...

Kashin-Beck disease and drinking water in Central Tibet [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2001
A cross-sectional survey was carried out in order to study the relationship between Kashin-Beck disease and drinking water. The average volume of the water containers was larger in families unaffected by the disease. Organic material was measured by ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. The UV absorbency was significantly lower in drinking water of unaffected

Unlocking the Nutritional Potential of Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) Rice: Towards a Sustainable Approach to Metabolic Disorder Remedies

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study addresses the critical issue of nutrient deficiencies associated with the widespread consumption of conventional milled rice, which often lacks essential vitamins and minerals due to the removal of the bran layer during processing. It demonstrated that controlled germination of paddy rice, followed by parboiling, substantially increases the ...

COL9A1 gene polymorphism is associated with Kashin-Beck disease in a northwest Chinese Han population. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether genomic polymorphism in collagen IX genes (COL9A) was associated with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). METHODS: Twenty seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COL9AI, COL9A2 and COL9A3 were genotyped in 274 KBD

The Silent Shift: Investigating Selenium Biovolatilization in Natural Environments

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Selenium (Se) is essential for human health. Organisms produce volatile Se through metabolism, which is an essential but hidden component of the Se geochemical cycle. Understanding this natural cycle is vital for sustainable development and ecosystem protection, thereby preserving planetary health and fostering harmonious coexistence between ...

Abnormal expression of TSG-6 disturbs extracellular matrix homeostasis in chondrocytes from endemic osteoarthritis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background and aims: Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a unique endemic osteochondropathy with unclear pathogenesis in China. T-2 toxin exposure has been identified as a significant risk factor of KBD.

Ictal Asystole in a Patient With DEE due to an FGF12 Pathogenic Variant: A Reminder to Monitor Cardiac Function

Clinical Genetics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 486-487, October 2025.
We report the first known case of a 9‐year‐old male with early‐onset epilepsy, syncope, and ictal asystole–requiring pacemaker implantation at the age of seven–associated with a pathogenic variant in FGF12.

Fungal contamination in barley and Kashin-Beck disease in Tibet [PDF]

The Lancet, 1997
5First results showed that mesophilic fungal contaminations were significantly higher on barley grains stored in families with KBD (median 66% of grains infected) than in healthy families (median 43% of grains infected) (Kruskal-Wallis ...

New Glycoconjugates Containing Selenium and Polyphenols. Stereoselective Synthesis by Pummerer‐like Rearrangement.

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 28, Issue 26, July 12, 2025.
Two series of novel six‐membered Se‐glycoconjugates containing hydroxycinnamic acids marked by well‐known antioxidant properties are synthesized, exploiting a Mitsunobu reaction and a Pummerer‐like rearrangement. A first example of six‐membered selenosugar with selenium in the ring and bearing an acetal‐like functional group at C‐1 was reported, which ...
