Abstract
Current studies have clearly shown that aristolochic acid (AA) exposure can induce a variety of diseases, such as kidney disease, liver cancer, and urinary tract cancer (UTC). However, no studies have systematically analyzed and integrated these results. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the association between AA exposure and the risk of safety outcomes for AA-related overall disease and different types of disease it causes. We conducted an exhaustive search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for relevant material up to April 2024. For AA-related overall disease, AA exposure was significantly associated with an increased incidence of AA-related overall disease (OR: 1.289, 95% CI: 1.183 - 1.404). For different types of disease, AA exposure was significantly associated with increased incidence of kidney disease (OR: 1.279, 95% CI: 1.029 - 1.590), UTC (OR: 1.842, 95% CI: 1.376 - 2.465) and liver cancer (OR: 1.146, 95% CI: 1.040 - 1.262). No significant association was found between AA exposure and the incidence of brain disease (OR: 1.161, 95% CI: 0.989 - 1.362). This study systematically analyzed various safety outcomes associated with AA exposure to provide a solid scientific basis for future prevention strategies and clinical management.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods is a peer-reviewed journal whose aim is twofold. Firstly, the journal contains original research on subjects dealing with the mechanisms by which foreign chemicals cause toxic tissue injury. Chemical substances of interest include industrial compounds, environmental pollutants, hazardous wastes, drugs, pesticides, and chemical warfare agents. The scope of the journal spans from molecular and cellular mechanisms of action to the consideration of mechanistic evidence in establishing regulatory policy.
Secondly, the journal addresses aspects of the development, validation, and application of new and existing laboratory methods, techniques, and equipment.
