    Abstract Incineration of sewage sludge (SS) in waste incinerators is one of the main ways of SS disposal. In order to reuse the incineration bottom slag, chemical speciation and environmental risk of heavy metals of bottom slag during co-combustion of municipal solid waste (MSW) and SS should be evaluated. When co-combusted with SS, the proportion of mild acid-souble fraction of Cr, Cu and Zn in the bottom slag decreased, the proportion of reducible fraction and residual fraction increased. As for As, with the increase of sludge blending ratio, the proportion of mild acid-souble fraction increased, and the proportion of oxidizable fraction decreased rapidly. The degree of soil contamination by As and the ecological risk of As of MSW combustion bottom slag increased when co-combusted with SS, while that of Cr, Cu, and Zn decreased. Fitting formulas between environmental index of bottom slag and combustion condition were giving.

    Abstract Objective(s): The present study aims to establish and evaluate a rat model for hangover headaches caused by alcoholic drinks.Materials and Methods: Chronic migraine (CM) model rats were divided into 3 groups, and intragastrically administered alcoholic drinks (sample A, B, or C) to simulate hangover headache attacks. The withdrawal threshold for the hind paw/face and the thermal latency of hind paw withdrawal were detected after 24 hr. Serum was collected from the periorbital venous plexus of rats in each group, and enzymatic immunoassays were used to determine the serum levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), and nitric oxide (NO).Results: Compared with the control group, the mechanical hind paw pain threshold was significantly lower in rats administered Samples A and B after 24 hr; however, no significant difference was observed across groups for the thermal pain threshold. The mechanical threshold for periorbital pain was only significantly reduced in rats administered Sample A. Immunoassays further indicated that serum levels of SP in the group administered Sample A were significantly higher than those in the control group; the serum levels of NO and CGRP were significantly higher in the group of rats receiving Sample B.Conclusion: We successfully developed an effective and safe rat model for investigating alcohol drink induced hangover headaches. This model could be used to investigate the mechanisms associated with hangover headaches for the development of novel and promising candidates for the future treatment or prophylaxis of hangover headaches.

    Abstract Tartary buckwheat is used as an ingredient in flour and tea, as well as in traditional Chinese medicine for its antioxidant effects. Here, we found that an ethanol extract of tartary buckwheat (TBE) potently induced autophagy flux in HeLa cells by suppressing mTORC1 activity, as revealed by dephosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrates Ulk1, S6K, and 4EBP, as well as by the nuclear translocation of transcriptional factor EB. In addition to non-selective bulk autophagy, TBE also induced aggrephagy, which is defined as autophagy against aggregated proteins. Quercetin is a flavonol found at high levels in TBE. We showed that quercetin induced both non-selective bulk autophagy and aggrephagy. These effects were also observed in Huh-7 cells derived from hepatocytes. Thus, aggrephagy induction by TBE and quercetin may relieve alcoholic hepatitis, which is closely linked to the accumulation of protein aggregations called Mallory–Denk bodies.

    Abstract The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) is important in maintaining the structure and function of the central nervous system (CNS) and is regulated by the CNS environment and signals from the peripheral tissues. However, the mechanism and function of the MGBA in alcohol use disorder (AUD) are still not completely understood. In this review, we investigate the underlying mechanisms involved in the onset of AUD and/or associated neuronal deficits and create a foundation for better treatment (and prevention) strategies. We summarize recent reports focusing on the alteration of the MGBA in AUD. Importantly, we highlight the properties of small-molecule short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), neurotransmitters, hormones, and peptides in the MGBA and discusses their usage as therapeutic agents against AUD.

    Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been practiced in the treatment of bone diseases and alcoholism. Chronic excessive alcohol use results in alcohol-induced bone diseases, including osteopenia and osteoporosis, which increases fracture risk, deficient bone repair, and osteonecrosis. This preclinical study investigated the therapeutic effects of TCM herbal extracts in animal models of chronic excessive alcohol consumption-induced osteopenia. TCM herbal extracts (Jing extracts) were prepared from nine Chinese herbal medicines, a combinative herbal formula for antifatigue and immune regulation, including
