Purpose

Household air pollution is one of the leading causes of death and disease globally. Emerging evidence of elevated risk of neonatal death has been reported in Africa and South Asia. However, evidence on the extent of the problem in Latin America is limited despite the persistent use of highly polluting cooking fuels. We assessed whether the use of high-polluting household cooking fuels increases the risk of neonatal death compared to low-polluting fuels in Colombia.

Methods

We used cross-sectional data from the 2005–2015 Colombian Demographic Health Survey and performed a survey-featured multivariate logistic regression. We selected adjustment covariates based on a causal diagram, addressed missing data through multiple imputation, and conducted several sensitivity analysis, such as propensity score matching.

Result

We found evidence suggesting an increased risk of neonatal death in households using high-polluting fuels (OR: 1.48; 95% CI: 0.91, 2.39). The sensitivity analyses were consistent with the main analysis.

Conclusion

We observed increased odds of neonatal death associated with using high-polluting household cooking fuels compared to low-polluting fuels, although this association was not statistically significant. This study contributes evidence to a region where the issue is not yet a priority and should be included in national-level discussions and interventions that impact cooking fuel use patterns.

目的:家庭空气污染是全球死亡和疾病的主要原因之一。据报道,非洲和南亚有新生儿死亡风险升高的新证据。然而,尽管拉丁美洲一直在使用高污染的烹饪燃料,但有关该问题严重程度的证据却很有限。我们评估了在哥伦比亚,与使用低污染燃料相比,使用高污染家庭烹饪燃料是否会增加新生儿死亡风险:我们使用了 2005-2015 年哥伦比亚人口健康调查的横截面数据,并进行了具有调查特征的多元逻辑回归。我们根据因果关系图选择了调整协变量,通过多重估算处理了缺失数据,并进行了几项敏感性分析,如倾向得分匹配:结果:我们发现有证据表明,使用高污染燃料的家庭新生儿死亡风险增加(OR:1.48;95% CI:0.91,2.39)。敏感性分析结果与主要分析结果一致:我们观察到,与使用低污染燃料相比,使用高污染家庭烹饪燃料会增加新生儿死亡的几率,尽管这种关联在统计学上并不显著。这项研究为这一问题尚未成为优先事项的地区提供了证据,应将其纳入影响烹饪燃料使用模式的国家级讨论和干预措施中。

Background

On September 1976, due to the explosion of an ammonia-washing column at the petrochemical plant in Manfredonia (Italy), 39 tonnes of arsenic were released into the atmosphere, contaminating the plants and the neighbourhoods close to it. The aim of this study is to present the results of a 45-year follow up of exposed workers with a focus on residential exposure.

Methods

We contacted Italian General Registries Offices and updated the vital status of persons involved in the clean-up activities following the disaster. The outcome of interest was the overall and cause-specific mortality. An accelerated failure time (AFT) approach was used when appropriate to model the risk of mortality.

Results

1772 workers contributing 67,743 person years were considered in the analysis. For overall mortality, results of the age-adjusted AFT model show an accelerator factor of 0.89 (95%CI 0.80–0.99) among contract workers, which means a shortening of survival in comparison to the reference category (plastic area workers). When accounting for latency greater than 20 years, higher mortality rates for lung cancer were observed among workers residing in Manfredonia.

Discussion

An increased risk of mortality among workers who were more exposed to arsenic during the clean-up activities has been observed. In fact, a loss of 5 years of life among more exposed workers was calculated. Furthermore, the mortality rates of residents in Manfredonia were higher than those of workers residing elsewhere.

背景 1976 年 9 月,意大利曼弗雷多尼亚石化厂的氨水洗涤塔发生爆炸,39 吨砷被释放到大气中,污染了工厂及其附近的居民区。本研究的目的是介绍对接触砒霜的工人进行 45 年跟踪调查的结果,重点是居民区的接触情况。我们关注的结果是总死亡率和特定原因死亡率。在适当的时候,我们采用了加速衰竭时间 (AFT) 法来建立死亡风险模型。就总死亡率而言,年龄调整后的 AFT 模型结果显示,合同工的加速因子为 0.89(95%CI 0.80-0.99),这意味着与参照类别(塑料区工人)相比,合同工的生存期缩短。如果考虑到潜伏期超过 20 年,居住在曼弗雷多尼亚的工人的肺癌死亡率更高。事实上,根据计算,接触砒霜较多的工人的寿命减少了 5 年。此外,曼弗雷多尼亚居民的死亡率高于居住在其他地方的工人。

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem that gives serious cause for concern. Hospital wastewater (HWW) is an important link between the clinical setting and the natural environment, and an escape route for pathogens that cause hospital infections, including urinary tract infections (UTI). Bacteria of the genera Escherichia and Klebsiella are common etiological factors of UTI, especially in children, and they can cause short-term infections, as well as chronic conditions. ESBL-producing Escherichia and Klebsiella have also emerged as potential indicators for estimating the burden of antimicrobial resistance under environmental conditions and the spread of AMR between clinical settings and the natural environment. In this study, whole-genome sequencing and the nanopore technology were used to analyze the complete genomes of ESBL-producing E. coli and Klebsiella spp. and the HWW metagenome, and to characterize the mechanisms of AMR. The similarities and differences in the encoded mechanisms of AMR in clinical isolates (causing UTI) and environmental strains (isolated from HWW and the HWW metagenome) were analyzed. Special attention was paid to the genetic context and the mobility of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to determine the common sources and potential transmission of these genes. The results of this study suggest that the spread of drug resistance from healthcare facilities via HWW is not limited to the direct transmission of resistant clonal lines that are typically found in the clinical setting, but it also involves the indirect transfer of mobile elements carrying ARGs between bacteria colonizing various environments. Hospital wastewater could offer a supportive environment for plasmid evolution through the insertion of new ARGs, including typical chromosomal regions. These results indicate that interlined environments (hospital patients – HWW) should be closely monitored to evaluate the potential transmission routes of drug resistance in bacteria.

抗菌药耐药性(AMR)是一个令人严重关切的全球性问题。医院废水(HWW)是连接临床环境和自然环境的重要纽带,也是导致医院感染(包括尿路感染)的病原体的逃逸通道。埃希氏菌属和克雷伯氏菌属细菌是尿路感染(尤其是儿童尿路感染)的常见病原体,它们既可引起短期感染,也可导致慢性病。产 ESBL 的埃希氏菌和克雷伯氏菌也已成为估计环境条件下抗菌药耐药性负担以及 AMR 在临床环境和自然环境之间传播的潜在指标。本研究采用全基因组测序和纳米孔技术分析了产ESBL大肠杆菌和克雷伯氏菌的全基因组以及HWW元基因组,并对AMR的机制进行了描述。分析了临床分离菌株(导致UTI)和环境菌株(从HWW和HWW元基因组中分离)AMR编码机制的异同。研究特别关注了抗生素耐药基因(ARGs)的遗传背景和流动性,以确定这些基因的共同来源和潜在传播途径。这项研究的结果表明,耐药性通过医院污水从医疗机构传播并不局限于通常在临床环境中发现的耐药性克隆菌株的直接传播,它还涉及携带 ARGs 的移动元素在定植于各种环境的细菌之间的间接转移。医院废水可通过插入新的 ARGs(包括典型的染色体区域)为质粒进化提供支持性环境。这些结果表明,应密切监测交错环境(医院病人-HWW),以评估细菌耐药性的潜在传播途径。

Aim

To explore the effect of mixed exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Methods

This cross-sectional study used data from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey Cycle 4 (2018–2020). The serum concentrations of five PFAS (perfluorooctanoic acid [PFOA], perfluorooctanesulfonic acid [PFOS], perfluorohexanesulfonic acid, perfluorononanoic acid [PFNA], and perfluorodecanoic acid [PFDeA]) were measured, and the relative potency factor approach was employed for the mixture of PFAS (Cmix) assessment. MetS was diagnosed if the patient satisfied three of five criteria: central obesity, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated blood pressure (BP), and elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Age, sex, smoking, drinking, and exercise status were considered as covariates. The risk of MetS for single and mixed exposure to PFAS was analyzed using binomial regression and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR).

Results

A total of 2984 (male:female = 1:1.3; age range, 19–80 years) adults were enrolled. The prevalence of MetS was 45.6%. Each PFAS and Cmix levels were higher in participants with MetS than in those without MetS. Cmix increased the risk of elevated BP and HbA1c, and eventually MetS (odds ratio [OR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11–3.60 per log10Cmix; OR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.07–2.31 in the highest quartile of Cmix [Q4] vs. the lowest [Q1]). Sex-specific analyses revealed that the impact of Cmix was valid in females but not in males (Cmix Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.57–1.8 in males; OR = 2.30, 95% CI 1.38–3.84 in females). In the BKMR analysis, mixed exposure to PFAS dose-dependently increased the risk of MetS, particularly in females. Among single exposures, PFNA contributed significantly to the cumulative effect.

Conclusion

Mixed exposure to PFAS was associated with a higher risk of MetS in females. Further studies on potential health concerns associated with PFAS mixtures are warranted.

目的探讨全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)混合暴露对代谢综合征(MetS)的影响。方法这项横断面研究使用了韩国全国环境健康调查第四周期(2018-2020年)的数据。测定了5种PFAS(全氟辛酸[PFOA]、全氟辛烷磺酸[PFOS]、全氟己烷磺酸、全氟壬酸[PFNA]和全氟癸酸[PFDeA])的血清浓度,并采用相对效力因子法对PFAS混合物(Cmix)进行了评估。如果患者符合以下五项标准中的三项,则可诊断为 MetS:中心性肥胖、甘油三酯升高、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇降低、血压(BP)升高和糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)升高。年龄、性别、吸烟、饮酒和运动状况被视为协变量。使用二项回归和贝叶斯核机器回归(BKMR)分析了单一和混合暴露于 PFAS 的 MetS 风险。MetS 患病率为 45.6%。MetS 患者的 PFAS 和 Cmix 水平均高于非 MetS 患者。Cmix 会增加血压和 HbA1c 升高的风险,并最终增加 MetS 的风险(每 log10Cmix 的几率比 [OR] = 2.00,95% 置信区间 [CI] 为 1.11-3.60;Cmix 最高四分位数 [Q4] 与最低四分位数 [Q1] 的几率比 [OR] = 1.57,95% 置信区间 [CI] 为 1.07-2.31)。性别特异性分析显示,Cmix 的影响对女性有效,但对男性无效(Cmix Q4 与 Q1 相比:男性 OR = 1.01,95% CI 0.57-1.8;女性 OR = 2.30,95% CI 1.38-3.84)。在 BKMR 分析中,全氟辛烷磺酸混合暴露剂量依赖性地增加了 MetS 风险,尤其是女性。结论女性混合接触 PFAS 与 MetS 风险升高有关。有必要进一步研究与 PFAS 混合物相关的潜在健康问题。

Exposure to environmental contaminants and the development of hypertension and diabetes represent crucial risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Toxicological studies have revealed that organophosphate esters (OPEs) impair kidney function. However, the joint effects of OPE exposure on kidney injury and the interactions of OPE exposure with hypertension or diabetes on kidney injury remain unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the individual and joint effects of OPE exposure on renal injury, as well as the potential interaction between OPE exposure and hypertension or diabetes on kidney injury. The study enrolled 1938 participants from Wuhan, China. To explore the relationship between OPE exposure and renal injury, we conducted multivariate linear and logistic regression analysis. The results indicated that each unit increase in 4-hydroxyphenyl diphenyl phosphate (4-HO-DPHP), bis(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (BBOEP), and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) (1 μg/L-ln transformed) was associated with a decreased 0.57 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95%CI: -1.05, −0.09), 0.85 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95%CI: -1.52, −0.19) and 1.24 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95%CI: -2.26, −0.23) of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), while each unit increase in 4-HO-DPHP and BBOEP (1 μg/L-ln transformed) was associated with 14% and 20% elevation of incident impaired renal function (IRF) risk. Notably the highest tertile of BCIPHIPP was positively associated with eGFR, although the p for trend > 0.05. We employed Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and quartile-based g-computation (qgcomp) models to explore the joint effects of OPE mixtures on eGFR and IRF. Both the results of BKMR and qgcomp model consistently demonstrated negative associations between OPE mixtures and eGFR, and TCEP and 4-HO-DPHP were major contributors. Furthermore, we observed multiplicative interactions of diphenyl phosphate (DPHP), BBOEP, di-ocresyl phosphate (DoCP) & di-p-cresyl phosphate (DpCP), 1-hydroxy-2-propyl bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCIPHIPP) and hypertension or diabetes on kidney injury (all P<0.05). Those with diabetes or hypertension and higher OPE metabolite concentrations had increased risk of kidney function impairment compared to those who did not have diabetes or hypertension. These findings suggest that specific OPE exposure may elevate the risk of renal injury, particularly among hypertensive and diabetic populations.

接触环境污染物以及高血压和糖尿病的发生是慢性肾脏病(CKD)的重要风险因素。毒理学研究表明,有机磷酸酯(OPE)会损害肾功能。然而,暴露于 OPE 对肾损伤的共同影响以及暴露于 OPE 与高血压或糖尿病对肾损伤的相互作用仍不清楚。我们的研究旨在调查暴露于 OPE 对肾损伤的个体和联合影响,以及暴露于 OPE 与高血压或糖尿病对肾损伤的潜在相互作用。该研究在中国武汉市招募了 1938 名参与者。为探讨暴露于 OPE 与肾损伤之间的关系,我们进行了多变量线性回归分析和逻辑回归分析。结果表明,4-羟基苯基二苯基磷酸酯 (4-HO-DPHP)、双(2-丁氧基乙基)磷酸酯 (BBOEP) 和三(2-氯乙基)磷酸酯 (TCEP) 每增加一个单位(1 μg/L-ln 转化),就会导致 0.57 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95%CI:-1.05, -0.09)、0.85 mL/min/1.而4-HO-DPHP和BBOEP(1 μg/L-ln转化)每增加一个单位,就会导致肾功能受损(IRF)风险分别增加14%和20%。值得注意的是,BCIPHIPP 的最高三分位数与 eGFR 呈正相关,但趋势 p > 0.05。我们采用贝叶斯核机器回归(BKMR)和基于四分位数的 g 计算(qgcomp)模型来探讨 OPE 混合物对 eGFR 和 IRF 的共同影响。BKMR 和 qgcomp 模型的结果一致表明,OPE 混合物与 eGFR 之间存在负相关,TCEP 和 4-HO-DPHP 是主要的影响因素。此外,我们还观察到磷酸二苯酯(DPHP)、BBOEP、磷酸二对甲酚酯(DoCP)&amp、磷酸二对甲酚酯(DpCP)、1-羟基-2-丙基双(1-氯-2-丙基)磷酸酯(BCIPHIPP)与高血压或糖尿病对肾损伤的乘法相互作用(均为 P<0.05)。与没有糖尿病或高血压的人相比,患有糖尿病或高血压且 OPE 代谢物浓度较高的人肾功能受损的风险更高。这些研究结果表明,特定的 OPE 暴露可能会增加肾损伤的风险,尤其是在高血压和糖尿病人群中。

<div><p>Phthalate esters (PAEs) possess endocrine-disrupting properties. Studies in humans have indicated that <em>in utero</em> phthalate exposure affects maternal thyroid hormones, which are essential for fetal growth and development. However, these studies also reported inconsistent results on the relationship between phthalates and thyroid hormones. This prospective cohort study aimed to assess phthalate exposure across the three trimesters of pregnancy and its association with thyroid hormone levels. From 2019 to 2022, we recruited 672 pregnant women, and two urine samples and one blood sample were collected from each participant during the pregnancy. We examined the urine samples from 663, 335, and 294 women in the first, second, and third trimester, respectively, for the following seven phthalate metabolites: monoethyl phthalate (MEP) from diethyl phthalate (DEP); mono-n-butyl phthalate (M<em>n</em>BP) and mono-iso-butyl phthalate (M<em>i</em>BP) from dibutyl phthalate (DBP); monobenzyl phthalate (MB<em>z</em>P) from butyl benzyl phthalate; and three di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) metabolites, mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP), and mono-(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP). Additionally, we examined the levels of free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and total triiodothyronine (TT3) in the serum samples of the following participants: 596, 627, and 576 in the first trimester; 292, 293, and 282 in the second trimester; and 250, 250, and 248 in the third trimester, respectively. Other than MBzP, which was detected in 25%–33% of the samples, other metabolites were detectable in >86% of urine samples, indicating widespread exposure to DEP, DBP, and DEHP. The detected phthalate exposure levels in our cohort were significantly higher than those reported in other countries. Metabolite levels varied across the trimesters, implying changes in exposure and metabolism throughout pregnancy. The observed variability in urinary concentrations of phthalate metabolites, which ranged from poor to moderate, underscores the importance of taking multiple measurements during pregnancy for precise exposure assessment. Using a linear mixed model, we analyzed the effects of repeated phthalate exposure on thyroid hormone levels while adjusting for potential confounders. We observed significant linear trends in FT4, TSH, and, to a lesser extent, TT3 across quartiles of specific phthalate metabolites. Comparing the highest to the lowest quartiles, we found a significant increase in FT4 levels, ranging from 2 to 3.7%, associated with MEP; MECPP; MEHHP; and the sum of seven metabolites (∑<sub>7</sub>PAE), three DEHP metabolites (∑<sub>3</sub>DEHP), two DBP metabolites (∑DBP), and both low molecular weight (∑LMW) and high molecular weight metabolites.

邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)具有干扰内分泌的特性。对人类的研究表明,子宫内接触邻苯二甲酸酯会影响母体的甲状腺激素,而甲状腺激素对胎儿的生长和发育至关重要。然而,这些研究对邻苯二甲酸盐与甲状腺激素之间关系的研究结果并不一致。这项前瞻性队列研究旨在评估孕期三个月的邻苯二甲酸盐暴露及其与甲状腺激素水平的关系。从2019年到2022年,我们招募了672名孕妇,并为每位参与者收集了孕期的两份尿样和一份血样。我们分别对 663 名、335 名和 294 名孕妇在第一、第二和第三孕期的尿样进行了检测,以检测以下七种邻苯二甲酸酯代谢物:来自邻苯二甲酸二乙酯(DEP)的邻苯二甲酸单乙酯(MEP);来自邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)的邻苯二甲酸单正丁酯(MnBP)和邻苯二甲酸单异丁酯(MiBP);来自邻苯二甲酸丁苄酯的邻苯二甲酸单苄酯(MBzP);以及三种邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(DEHP)代谢物:邻苯二甲酸单(2-乙基-5-羟基己基)酯(MEHHP)、邻苯二甲酸单(2-乙基-5-氧代己基)酯(MEOHP)和邻苯二甲酸单(2-乙基-5-羧基戊基)酯(MECPP)。此外,我们还检测了以下参与者血清样本中游离甲状腺素(FT4)、促甲状腺激素(TSH)和总三碘甲状腺原氨酸(TT3)的水平:第一孕期分别为 596、627 和 576;第二孕期分别为 292、293 和 282;第三孕期分别为 250、250 和 248。除了在 25%-33% 的样本中检测到 MBzP 外,在大于 86% 的尿液样本中检测到了其他代谢物,这表明 DEP、DBP 和 DEHP 的暴露范围很广。我们队列中检测到的邻苯二甲酸酯暴露水平明显高于其他国家的报告水平。不同孕期的代谢物水平各不相同,这意味着整个孕期的接触和代谢情况都会发生变化。观察到的尿液中邻苯二甲酸酯代谢物浓度的变化从低到高不等,这凸显了在孕期进行多次测量以精确评估暴露量的重要性。我们使用线性混合模型分析了重复接触邻苯二甲酸盐对甲状腺激素水平的影响,同时调整了潜在的混杂因素。我们观察到,在特定邻苯二甲酸酯代谢物的四分位数中,FT4、促甲状腺激素呈明显的线性趋势,其次是TT3。将最高四分位数与最低四分位数进行比较,我们发现 FT4 水平的显著增加(2%-3.7%)与 MEP、MECPP、MEHHP 以及七种代谢物之和(∑7PAE)、三种 DEHP 代谢物(∑3DEHP)、两种 DBP 代谢物(∑DBP)以及低分子量(∑LMW)和高分子量代谢物有关。所有邻苯二甲酸酯代谢物(MEHHP 除外)及其摩尔总和(包括 ∑7PAE)的 TSH 水平均出现升高(5%-16%)。就 TT3 而言,观察到 MEP 显著增加(2.2%),而 ∑DBP 则下降(-2.7%)。在几种邻苯二甲酸酯代谢物的最高四分位数(第三或第四位)中观察到较高的 TSH/FT4 比率:MEP(8.8%)、MiBP(8.7%)、MnBP(22.2%)、∑7PAE(15.3%)、∑DBP(16.4%)和∑LMW(18.6%)。这些激素变化(尤其是在第二和第三孕期)表明,接触邻苯二甲酸盐可能会通过影响母体甲状腺功能来影响胎儿的生长发育。

Objective

Strong experimental evidence exists that several endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have neurobehavioral toxicity. However, evidence of associations between prenatal exposure and child's cognitive development is inconsistent. Moreover, toxicants are generally analyzed one by one without considering aggregate effects. We examined here the impact of a prenatal exposure to a mixture of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on intellectual abilities in preschool children, and compared their effects to those described in the literature.

Methods

Sixty-two children were included in a longitudinal cohort. Four organochlorine pesticides, four polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and seven perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were measured in cord blood. Intellectual abilities were assessed at 6 years of age using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence 4th ed. (WPPSI-IV). We examined the associations between a mixture of POPs and cognitive performances using principal components approach (PCA) and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression taking sex difference into account.

Results

No negative correlation was found when analyses were performed on boys and girls together. In sex-stratified analyses, lower scores in full scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) and fluid reasoning index (FRI) were observed in boys most exposed to a mixture of POPs. Increase of the WQS index was also associated with lower verbal comprehension index (VCI) scores in girls only. No other negative correlation was found using both WQS and PCA models.

Conclusion

Our study suggests deleterious associations between antenatal exposure to a mixture of POPs and sex-specific cognitive level, clarifying some trends described in the literature.

目的:有确凿的实验证据表明,几种干扰内分泌的化学品(EDCs)具有神经行为毒性。然而,产前暴露与儿童认知发展之间的关联证据并不一致。此外,人们通常对有毒物质进行逐一分析,而不考虑其综合影响。我们在此研究了产前接触持久性有机污染物(POPs)混合物对学龄前儿童智力的影响,并将其影响与文献中描述的影响进行了比较:方法:在一个纵向队列中纳入了 62 名儿童。测量了脐带血中的四种有机氯农药、四种多氯联苯和七种全氟化合物。我们使用韦氏学前和小学智力量表第四版(WPPSI-IV)对 6 岁儿童的智力进行了评估。我们使用主成分法(PCA)和加权量子和(WQS)回归法研究了持久性有机污染物混合物与认知能力之间的关联,并将性别差异考虑在内:对男孩和女孩一起进行分析时未发现负相关。在性别分层分析中,观察到接触持久性有机污染物混合物最多的男孩的全量表智商(FSIQ)和流体推理指数(FRI)较低。只有女孩的 WQS 指数的增加与言语理解指数(VCI)的降低有关。使用 WQS 和 PCA 模型没有发现其他负相关关系:我们的研究表明,产前暴露于持久性有机污染物混合物与特定性别的认知水平之间存在有害关联,从而澄清了文献中描述的一些趋势。

Background

Epidemiological studies on heavy metal exposure and liver injury are predominantly cross-sectional, lacking longitudinal data and exploration of potential mechanisms.

Method

We conducted a repeated-measures study in Northeast China from 2016 to 2019, involving 322 participants. Linear mixed models (LMM) and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were employed to explore the associations between individual and mixed blood metal concentrations [chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), vanadium (V), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb)] and liver function biomarkers [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLB), total protein (TP)]. Mediation and enrichment analyses were used to determine whether the inflammatory response is a critical pathway for heavy metal-induced liver damage.

Result

We obtained a total of 958 observations. The results from LMM and BKMR indicated significant associations between individual and mixed heavy metals and liver function biomarkers. Longitudinal analysis revealed associations between Cd and the annual increase rate of ALT (β = 2.61; 95% CI: 0.97, 4.26), the annual decrease rate of ALB (β = −0.21; 95% CI: −0.39, −0.03), Mn and the annual increase rate of GLB (β = 0.38; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.72), and V and the annual decrease rate of ALB/GLB (β = −1.15; 95% CI: −2.00, −0.31). Mediation analysis showed that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) mediated the associations between Cd and AST, TP, with mediation effects of 27.7% and 13.4%, respectively. Additionally, results from Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses supported the role of inflammatory response pathways.

Conclusion

Our findings indicate that heavy metal exposure leads to liver damage, with the inflammatory response potentially serving as a crucial pathway in this process. This study offers a novel perspective on understanding heavy metal-induced liver injury and provides insights for preventive measures against the health damage caused by heavy metals.

背景:有关重金属暴露和肝损伤的流行病学研究主要是横断面研究,缺乏纵向数据和对潜在机制的探索:我们于 2016 年至 2019 年在中国东北地区开展了一项重复测量研究,共有 322 人参与。采用线性混合模型(LMM)和贝叶斯核机器回归(BKMR)探讨个体和混合血液金属浓度[铬(Cr)、镉(Cd)、钒(V)、锰(Mn)、铅(Pb)]与肝功能生物标志物[丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、白蛋白(ALB)、球蛋白(GLB)、总蛋白(TP)]之间的关联。通过中介分析和富集分析,确定炎症反应是否是重金属诱发肝损伤的关键途径:结果:我们共获得 958 个观察结果。LMM和BKMR的结果表明,单个重金属和混合重金属与肝功能生物标志物之间存在显著关联。纵向分析显示,镉与谷丙转氨酶的年升高率(β = 2.61; 95% CI: 0.97, 4.26)、谷草转氨酶的年降低率(β = -0.21; 95% CI: -0.39, -0.03)、锰与谷草转氨酶的年升高率(β = 0.38; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.72)、钒与谷草转氨酶/谷草转氨酶的年降低率(β = -1.15; 95% CI: -2.00, -0.31)之间存在关联。中介分析表明,高敏 C 反应蛋白(hsCRP)在镉与谷草转氨酶、谷丙转氨酶之间的关系中起中介作用,中介效应分别为 27.7% 和 13.4%。此外,基因本体和京都基因和基因组百科全书的富集分析结果也支持炎症反应通路的作用:我们的研究结果表明,重金属暴露会导致肝损伤,而炎症反应可能是这一过程中的关键途径。这项研究为理解重金属诱导的肝损伤提供了一个新的视角,并为预防重金属对健康造成的损害提供了启示。

Background

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phthalate acid esters (PAHs & PAEs), known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), widely exist in daily life and industrial production. Previous studies have suggested that PAHs & PAEs may modify the intrauterine homeostasis and have adverse effects on fetal development. However, epidemiological evidence on the associations between PAHs & PAEs and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is still limited.

Objective

To investigate the effects of prenatal PAHs &PAEs exposure on the risk of GDM and hyperglycemia in pregnant women.

Methods

The study population was a total of 725 pregnant women from a prospective birth cohort study conducted from December 2019 to December 2021. Blood glucose levels were collected by the hospital information system. Urinary PAHs & PAEs concentrations were determined by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The Poisson regression in a generalized linear model (GLM), multiple linear regression, quantile-based g-computation method (qgcomp), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were applied to explore and verify the individual and overall effects of PAHs & PAEs on glucose homeostasis. Potential confounders were adjusted in all statistical models.

Results

A total of 179 (24.69%) women were diagnosed with GDM. The Poisson regression suggested that a ln-unit increment of 4-OHPHE (4-hydroxyphenanthrene) (adjusted Risk Ratio (aRR) = 1.13; 1.02–1.26) was associated with the increased GDM risk. Mixed-exposure models showed similar results. We additionally found that MBZP (mono-benzyl phthalate) (aRR = 1.19; 1.02–1.39) was positively related to GDM risk in qgcomp model. Although neither model demonstrated that 2-OHNAP (2-hydroxynaphthalene) and 9-OHFLU (9-hydroxyfluorene) increased the risk of GDM, 2-OHNAP and 9-OHFLU exposure significantly increased blood glucose levels. BKMR model further confirmed that overall effects of PAHs & PAEs were significantly associated with the gestational hyperglycemia and GDM risk.

Conclusions

Our study presents that environmental exposure to PAHs & PAEs was positively associated with gestational glucose levels and the risks of developing GDM. In particular, 2-OHNAP, 9-OHFLU, 4-OHPHE and MBZP may serve as important surveillance markers to prevent the development of GDM.

背景:多环芳烃和邻苯二甲酸酯(PAHs & PAEs)被称为内分泌干扰化学品(EDCs),广泛存在于日常生活和工业生产中。以往的研究表明,PAHs 和 PAEs 可能会改变胎儿宫内的稳态,对胎儿发育产生不利影响。然而,有关 PAHs 和 PAEs 与妊娠糖尿病(GDM)之间关系的流行病学证据仍然有限:调查产前多环芳烃和多环芳烃暴露对孕妇妊娠糖尿病和高血糖风险的影响:研究对象为2019年12月至2021年12月进行的一项前瞻性出生队列研究中的725名孕妇。血糖水平由医院信息系统收集。通过气相色谱串联质谱法测定尿液中 PAHs 和 PAEs 的浓度。应用广义线性模型泊松回归法(GLM)、多元线性回归法、基于量级的g计算法(qgcomp)和贝叶斯核机回归法(BKMR)来探讨和验证PAHs和PAEs对葡萄糖稳态的个体和整体影响。所有统计模型均调整了潜在的混杂因素:共有 179 名妇女(24.69%)被确诊为 GDM。泊松回归表明,4-OHPHE(4-羟基菲)的ln-单位增量(调整风险比(aRR)=1.13;1.02-1.26)与GDM风险的增加有关。混合暴露模型显示了类似的结果。我们还发现,在 qgcomp 模型中,MBZP(邻苯二甲酸单苄酯)(aRR = 1.19;1.02-1.39)与 GDM 风险呈正相关。虽然这两个模型都没有证明 2-OHNAP(2-羟基萘)和 9-OHFLU(9-羟基芴)会增加 GDM 风险,但 2-OHNAP 和 9-OHFLU 暴露会显著增加血糖水平。BKMR模型进一步证实,PAHs和PAEs的总体效应与妊娠高血糖和GDM风险密切相关:我们的研究表明,环境中暴露于 PAHs 和 PAEs 与妊娠期血糖水平和患 GDM 的风险呈正相关。其中,2-OHNAP、9-OHFLU、4-OHPHE 和 MBZP 可作为预防 GDM 发生的重要监测指标。

Background

There is limited epidemiological evidence on the association of prenatal exposure to phthalates and synthetic phenols with altered pubertal timing.

Objective

To examine the association of prenatal exposure to phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), parabens, benzophenone 3 (BP-3), and triclosan (TCS) with pubertal development in girls and boys from three European cohorts.

Methods

Urinary metabolites of six different phthalate diesters (DEP, DiBP, DnBP, BBzP, DEHP, and DiNP), BPA, methyl- (MePB), ethyl- (EtPB), propyl- (PrPB), and butyl-paraben (BuPB), BP-3, and TCS were quantified in one or two (1st and 3rd trimester) urine samples collected during pregnancy (1999–2008) from mothers in three birth cohorts: INMA (Spain), EDEN (France), and MoBa (Norway). Pubertal development of their children was assessed at a single visit at age 7–12 years (579 girls, 644 boys) using the parent-reported Pubertal Development Scale (PDS). Mixed-effect Poisson and g-computation and Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression (BKMR) were employed to examine associations of individual and combined prenatal chemical exposure, respectively, with the probability of overall pubertal onset, adrenarche, and gonadarche (stage 2+) in girls and boys. Effect modification by child body mass index (BMI) was also assessed.

Results

Maternal concentrations of the molar sum of DEHP and of DiNP metabolites were associated with a slightly higher probability of having started puberty in boys (relative risk, RR [95% CI] = 1.13 [0.98–1.30] and 1.20 [1.06–1.34], respectively, for a two-fold increase in concentrations), with a stronger association for DiNP in boys with overweight or obesity. In contrast, BPA, BuPB, EtPB, and PrPB were associated with a lower probability of pubertal onset, adrenarche, and/or gonadarche in all boys (e.g. overall puberty, BPA: RR [95% CI] = 0.93 [0.85–1.01] and BuPB: 0.95 [0.90–1.00], respectively), and the association with BPA was stronger in boys with underweight/normal weight. In girls, MEHP and BPA were associated with delayed gonadarche in those with underweight/normal weight (RR [95% CI] = 0.86 [0.77–0.95] and 0.90 [0.84–0.97], respectively). Most of these associations were trimester specific. However, the chemical mixture was not associated with any pubertal outcome in boys or girls.

Conclusions

Prenatal exposure to certain phthalates and synthetic phenols such as BPA may impact the pubertal development of boys, and weight status may modify this effect. BPA may also alter the pubertal development of girls.

背景:关于产前暴露于邻苯二甲酸盐和合成酚与青春期时间改变之间的关系,流行病学证据有限:目的:研究三个欧洲队列中女孩和男孩产前接触邻苯二甲酸盐、双酚 A (BPA)、对羟基苯甲酸酯、二苯甲酮 3 (BP-3) 和三氯生 (TCS) 与青春期发育的关系:方法:从三个出生队列的母亲怀孕期间(1999-2008 年)采集的一份或两份(孕期第一和第三季度)尿液样本中,对六种不同邻苯二甲酸酯二聚体(DEP、DiBP、DnBP、BBzP、DEHP 和 DiNP)、双酚 A、甲基对羟基苯甲酸酯 (MePB)、乙基对羟基苯甲酸酯 (EtPB)、丙基对羟基苯甲酸酯 (PrPB) 和丁基对羟基苯甲酸酯 (BuPB)、BP-3 和三氯生 (TCS) 的尿液代谢物进行了定量分析:INMA(西班牙)、EDEN(法国)和 MoBa(挪威)。采用家长报告的青春期发育量表(PDS)对其子女(579 名女孩,644 名男孩)在 7-12 岁时的青春期发育情况进行了一次评估。采用混合效应泊松计算、g计算和贝叶斯核机器回归(BKMR)分别考察了单个和综合产前化学品暴露与女孩和男孩总体青春期发育、肾上腺发育和性腺发育(2+期)概率的关系。此外,还评估了儿童体重指数(BMI)对影响的修正作用:结果:母体中 DEHP 和 DiNP 代谢物摩尔总和的浓度与男童开始青春期的概率略高有关(浓度增加两倍,相对风险,RR [95% CI] = 1.13 [0.98-1.30] 和 1.20 [1.06-1.34]),在超重或肥胖的男童中,DiNP 的相关性更强。相比之下,BPA、BuPB、EtPB 和 PrPB 与所有男孩青春期开始、肾上腺皮质发育期和/或性腺发育期的概率较低有关(如整体青春期,BPA:RR[95%CI]=0.93[0.85-1.01],BuPB:0.95[0.90-1.00]),在体重不足/体重正常的男孩中,BPA 的相关性更强。在体重不足/体重正常的女孩中,MEHP 和 BPA 与性腺初潮延迟有关(RR [95% CI] 分别为 0.86 [0.77-0.95] 和 0.90 [0.84-0.97])。这些关联大多与孕期有关。然而,化学混合物与男孩或女孩的任何青春期结果都无关:结论:产前暴露于某些邻苯二甲酸盐和合成酚(如双酚 A)可能会影响男孩的青春期发育,而体重状况可能会改变这种影响。双酚 A 也可能会改变女孩的青春期发育。
