97 (2.34) g/100 g in 2017 to 1.58 (2.65) g/100 g in 2019 (P = 0.039). Compliance of mayonnaise and salad dressing fat contents with ISIRI limits increased from 42.9% and 84.6% in 2017 to 100% and 90.5% in 2019, respectively. None of the mayonnaise samples met the British Food Standards Agency salt target (maximum 1.25 g/100 g) in 2017 and 2019.
Reformulation of these products for reduction of salt and sugar content is necessary.

YouTube can be a powerful educational tool for the dissemination of health information. However, if uploaded health-related videos are inaccurate, it can mislead, create confusion and generate panic.
This study aimed to determine the success of the most-watched Turkish-language COVID-19 YouTube videos regarding information and guidance on the disease for the public. The secondary aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and quality of such video content.
The study was conducted during May 2020 and analysed 133 videos. The length of the videos, the number of likes and dislikes, comments and views, how long they have been on YouTube, Medical Information and Content Index (MICI) Score, mDISCERN scores, global quality scores, and the source and target audiences of the videos were all determined.
The average MICI Scores of videos was 2.48±3.74 and the global quality scores was 1.27±0.64. When MICI Scores were compared between video sources, the scores of academic hospitals and government videos were significantly higher. The global quality scores of videos from news agencies and independent users was significantly lower ( < 0.001). The mDISCERN score of the videos uploaded by news agencies and categorized as useful was higher than the others (P < 0.001). Among the targeted videos, only the global quality scores of the videos made for health-care workers were found to be significantly higher.
Health-care professionals should upload more videos to improve the quality of health-related video content available on YouTube. Accompanied by evidence-based information, the issues of diagnosis, ways of transmission, prevention and treatment of diseases should be emphasized.

The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region has the third-highest prevalence of violence against women worldwide, with 31% of everpartnered women experiencing physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence at some point in their lives. Specific groups of women and girls, such as migrants and undocumented workers, women with disabilities, and women affected by armed conflict or in emergency settings are more vulnerable and may experience multiple forms of violence. Health emergencies, as demonstrated during the current COVID-19 pandemic, may also increase the risk of violence against women.Doxorubicin is one of the most frequently used chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS), but the emergence of chemoresistance often leads to treatment failure. C‑X‑C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) has been demonstrated to regulate OS progression and metastasis. However, whether CXCR4 is also involved in OS chemoresistance and its molecular mechanisms has yet to be fully elucidated. In the present study, CXCR4‑mediated autophagy for OS chemotherapy was investigated by western blot analysis, transmission electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. CXCR4 silencing enhanced doxorubicin‑induced apoptosis by reducing P‑glycoprotein in CXCR4+ LM8 cells, while CXCR4 overexpression promoted OS doxorubicin resistance in CXCR4‑ Dunn cells. Iodoacetamide nmr Furthermore, CXCR4 silencing with or without doxorubicin increased the expression of beclin 1 and light chain 3B, and the number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes, as well as induced autophagic flux activation by suppressing the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, pretreatment with the autophagy inhibitor bafilomycin A1 attenuated CXCR4 abrogation‑induced cell death. Finally, the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 synergistically reinforced the antitumor effect of doxorubicin in an orthotopic OS mouse model. Taken together, the present study revealed that CXCR4 inhibition sensitizes OS to doxorubicin by inducing autophagic cell death. Therefore, targeting the CXCR4/autophagy axis may be a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome OS chemotherapy resistance.Type 2 diabetes increases the risk various types of cancer and is associated with a poor prognosis therein. There is also evidence that the disease is associated with cancer metastasis. Centrosome amplification can initiate tumorigenesis with metastasis in vivo and increase the invasiveness of cancer cells in vitro. Our previous study reported that type 2 diabetes promotes centrosome amplification via the upregulation and centrosomal translocation of Rho‑associated protein kinase 1 (ROCK1), which suggests that centrosome amplification is a candidate biological link between type 2 diabetes and cancer development. In the present study, functional proteomics analysis was used to further investigate the molecular pathways underlying centrosome amplification by targeting ROCK1 binding partners. High glucose, insulin and palmitic acid were used to induce centrosome amplification, and immunofluorescent staining was employed to visualize centrosomal alterations. Combined with immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry‑bas, which is key for diabetes‑associated centrosome amplification, and enriches our knowledge of centrosome biology. Therefore, the ROCK1‑DCTN2 complex may serve as a target for inhibiting centrosome amplification both in research or future therapeutic development.Lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A, also known as MLL) translocations (MLL‑t) are frequently associated with mutations in RAS pathway genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Previous findings with a mouse model showed that cooperation of MLL/AF10 with tyrosine‑protein phosphatase non‑receptor type 11 (PTPN11)G503A accelerated leukemia development, but increased cytarabine (Ara‑C) sensitivity of leukemia cells. To identify the genes responsible for reduced survival and Ara‑C resistance, transcriptomic profiling between six pairs of mouse MLL/AF10(OM‑LZ) leukemia cells harboring activating and wild‑type KRAS or PTPN11 was compared. A total of 23 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with >1.5‑fold‑change between the paired cell lines were identified. The Gene Ontology (GO) terms overrepresented in these 23 DEGs included 'immune system process', 'actin filament binding', 'cellular response to interferon‑alpha' and 'sequence‑specific DNA'. Among the four genes (Hoxa11, PR domain zinc finger protein 5, Iroquois‑class homeodomain protein IRX‑5 and homeobox protein PKNOX2) mapped to the GO term 'sequence‑specific DNA', HOXA11 upregulation was associated with AML harboring MLL‑t and RAS signaling mutations based on a meta‑analysis using data deposited in Oncomine™ and analysis of the clinical samples in the present study.
