The prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) in Tibetans is higher than that in Han, while Tibetans have a habit of drinking brick tea with high fluoride. A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the association between fluoride exposure in drinking brick tea and OA. All subjects were divided into four groups by the quartiles (Q) of tea fluoride (TF) and urine fluoride (UF). ROC was plotted and OR were obtained using logistic regression model. The prevalence of OA in the Q3 and Q4 group of TF were 2.2 and 2.7 times higher than in the Q1 group, and the prevalence of OA in the Q2, Q3 and Q4 group of UF were 3.2, 3.5, and 4.1 times higher than in the Q1 group. ROC analysis showed the cutoff values were 4.523 mg/day (TF) and 1.666 mg/L (UF). In conclusion, excessive fluoride in drinking brick tea could be a risk factor for developing OA.

藏族人的骨关节炎(OA)发病率高于汉族人,而藏族人有饮用高氟砖茶的习惯。为了探讨饮用砖茶中的氟暴露与 OA 之间的关系,我们进行了一项横断面研究。所有受试者按茶氟化物(TF)和尿氟化物(UF)的四分位数(Q)分为四组。利用逻辑回归模型绘制 ROC 图并得出 OR 值。茶氟化物 Q3 组和 Q4 组的 OA 患病率分别是 Q1 组的 2.2 倍和 2.7 倍,尿氟化物 Q2 组、Q3 组和 Q4 组的 OA 患病率分别是 Q1 组的 3.2 倍、3.5 倍和 4.1 倍。ROC 分析显示,临界值分别为 4.523 毫克/天(TF)和 1.666 毫克/升(UF)。总之,饮用砖茶中过量的氟可能是罹患 OA 的风险因素。

In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis (OHP) among different occupations globally. Our search was conducted on MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to September 2023. Eligible studies were observational in nature and focused on several specific occupations. A total of 46 articles were included (n = 2,826,420 participants). The overall prevalence of OHP was found to be 4.2% (95% CI: 2.1% to 8.0%), but this varied significantly based on occupation and geographic location. Printers had the highest OHP prevalence at 57.14%, followed by tobacco workers (26.32%), and water-related workers (24.10%). South America showed the highest prevalence of 16.71%, compared to Asia (15.19%), and North America (8.52%). Significant variations in OHP prevalence by occupation and region were found, with the highest rates in printers and tobacco workers. Age and smoking were identified as contributing factors to the prevalence variability.

在这项荟萃分析中,我们旨在评估职业性超敏性肺炎(OHP)在全球不同职业中的发病率。我们通过 PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 Cochrane CENTRAL 在 MEDLINE 上进行了搜索,搜索时间从开始到 2023 年 9 月。符合条件的研究均为观察性研究,重点关注几种特定职业。共纳入 46 篇文章(n = 2,826,420 名参与者)。研究发现,OHP的总体患病率为4.2%(95% CI:2.1%至8.0%),但不同职业和地理位置的患病率差异很大。印刷工人的 OHP 患病率最高,为 57.14%,其次是烟草工人(26.32%)和与水有关的工人(24.10%)。南美洲的患病率最高,为 16.71%,而亚洲(15.19%)和北美洲(8.52%)的患病率最低。不同职业和地区的 OHP 患病率存在显著差异,其中印刷工人和烟草工人的患病率最高。年龄和吸烟被认为是导致患病率变化的因素。

Anaemia is an important global health issue with various factors responsible for its occurrence. Though nutritional deficiency is one of the main causes of the disease, evidence suggests a potential link between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and an increased risk of developing anaemia. Our scoping review evaluates studies conducted across the world to examine possible associations between anaemia and ambient air pollution. Six databases were searched, 153 sources were identified, and 21 articles were included in the review. Apart from one article which showed no significant effect, studies reported positive associations between anaemia and air pollution. This was true for both indoor and outdoor air pollution, various types of particulate matter exposure, and across demographic groups. The review highlights the importance of recognizing exposure to air pollution as a potential risk factor for anaemia and emphasizes the imperative for focused interventions and policy measures to mitigate air pollution.

贫血症是一个重要的全球性健康问题,导致贫血症发生的因素多种多样。虽然营养缺乏是导致贫血的主要原因之一,但有证据表明,长期暴露于环境空气污染与贫血患病风险增加之间存在潜在联系。我们的范围界定综述评估了在全球范围内开展的研究,以探讨贫血与环境空气污染之间可能存在的关联。我们检索了六个数据库,确定了 153 个资料来源,并将 21 篇文章纳入了综述。除一篇文章未显示显著影响外,其他研究均报告贫血与空气污染之间存在正相关。室内和室外空气污染、各种类型的微粒物质暴露以及不同人口群体的情况都是如此。该综述强调了认识到接触空气污染是导致贫血的潜在风险因素的重要性,并强调必须采取有针对性的干预措施和政策措施来减轻空气污染。

The ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol, and water extracts of cypress from three Tunisian regions (Bizerte, Ben Arous, and Nabeul) were reported for their phenolic content, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities. Cypress extract had an important antiradical and antibacterial potential which was strongly related to the organoleptic quality of the extract which appeared strongly region dependent. The highest contents of polyphenols were obtained in the methanol extract at the region of Bizerte (315.75 mg GAE/g DW). Cupressuflavone was the major compound with high proportions in methanol extract of Bizerte (68%). Amentoflavone also constituted an important flavonoid compound presented in higher proportion in the ethyl acetate extract of Ben Arous (21.2%). For Gram-positive bacteria strains, Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to the ethanol extract of Nabeul with IZ = 40 mm. This study suggests cypress as potential natural source of antioxidants and antibacterial agents.

研究人员报告了突尼斯三个地区(比泽特、本阿鲁斯和纳贝乌尔)的柏树乙酸乙酯、乙醇、甲醇和水提取物的酚含量、抗氧化和抗菌活性。柏树提取物具有重要的抗辐射和抗菌潜力,这与提取物的感官质量密切相关,而感官质量似乎与地区密切相关。在比泽特地区,甲醇提取物中的多酚含量最高(315.75 毫克 GAE/g DW)。在比泽特的甲醇提取物中,铜绿黄酮是比例较高的主要化合物(68%)。门黄酮也是一种重要的类黄酮化合物,在 Ben Arous 的乙酸乙酯提取物中含量较高(21.2%)。在革兰氏阳性菌菌株中,金黄色葡萄球菌对 Nabeul 的乙醇提取物敏感,IZ = 40 mm。这项研究表明,柏树是抗氧化剂和抗菌剂的潜在天然来源。

Existing mental health studies usually disregard people's neighborhood experiences in the past, which may have long-lasting mental health effects. This may particularly be true for migrants. To assess how the perceived pre- and post-migration neighborhood environment shapes migrants' mental health later on in life, a quasi-longitudinal survey (N = 591) among migrants was conducted in Shenzhen, China. The risk of poor mental health was screened with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Perceptions of the pre- and post-migration neighborhood environment were measured retrospectively and assessed with structural equation models. The results show that the direct pathways linking the perceived post-migration neighborhood physical (NPE) and social environment (NSE) to migrants' mental health are significant. No direct association is found between the pre-migration neighborhood environments and mental health. The indirect path between the pre-migration NPE/NSE and mental health is significantly mediated by the post-migration NPE and NSE. Migrants' SES development and their neighborhood attainment interplay overtime which have long-term impacts on their mental health. Our findings suggest that the pre-migration neighborhood plays a crucial role in migrants' mental health. This confirms a path dependency of migrants' neighborhood environment throughout their migrations. Future mental health studies are advised to incorporate neighborhood characteristics along migrants' residential histories.

现有的心理健康研究通常忽略了人们过去的邻里经历,而这些经历可能会对心理健康产生长期的影响。这对移民来说可能尤其如此。为了评估移居前和移居后的邻里环境如何影响移居者日后的心理健康,我们在中国深圳对移居者进行了一项准纵向调查(N = 591)。通过一般健康问卷(GHQ)对心理健康不良的风险进行了筛查。对移民前和移民后的邻里环境感知进行了回顾性测量,并用结构方程模型进行了评估。结果表明,移民后感知的邻里物理环境(NPE)和社会环境(NSE)与移民心理健康之间的直接联系非常显著。移民前的邻里环境与心理健康之间没有直接联系。移民前的 NPE/NSE 与心理健康之间的间接路径在很大程度上受移民后的 NPE 和 NSE 的调节。移民的社会经济发展与他们的邻里关系相互影响,从而对他们的心理健康产生长期影响。我们的研究结果表明,移民前的邻里关系对移民的心理健康起着至关重要的作用。这证实了移民在整个迁徙过程中对邻里环境的路径依赖。建议未来的心理健康研究将移民居住历史中的邻里特征纳入其中。

Air pollution in the interior of our homes is caused by diverse chemical, physical, and biological entities. This review comprehensively explores the current understanding of sources and health impacts of gaseous and particulate pollutants. Trend analysis of indoor air research worldwide revealed a quantum jump of 2.8 times in the number of publications during the last ten years. Indoor air pollutants are innumerable, but only a few are widely prevalent in most households. The qualitative complexity of pollutants translates to different health problems, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular conditions, cancer, and deaths. There exist wide-scale disparities in the negative impacts among different economic strata, genders, and age groups; children and elderly populations are more vulnerable. In developing countries, pollutants primarily arise from traditional sources, whereas in developed countries, pollutants from non-conventional sources are comparatively significant. Only a few countries have indoor air regulations, policies, monitoring plans and effective enforcement.

室内空气污染是由多种化学、物理和生物实体造成的。本综述全面探讨了目前对气体和颗粒污染物的来源和健康影响的认识。对全球室内空气研究的趋势分析表明,在过去十年中,发表的论文数量激增了 2.8 倍。室内空气污染物不计其数,但只有少数几种广泛存在于大多数家庭中。污染物在质量上的复杂性导致了不同的健康问题,包括呼吸系统疾病、心血管疾病、癌症和死亡。不同经济阶层、性别和年龄组之间的负面影响存在巨大差异;儿童和老年人更容易受到影响。在发展中国家,污染物主要来自传统来源,而在发达国家,来自非常规来源的污染物相对较多。只有少数国家制定了室内空气法规、政策、监测计划和有效的执行措施。

Microplastic pollution is a growing environmental and health issue. This study evaluates microplastic pollution awareness among medical students at Pamukkale University and the factors influencing it. A cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2023 with 474 students from the 1st, 3rd, and 6th years, using a 26-item questionnaire, including the 14-item Microplastic Pollution Awareness Scale (MPAS). The mean MPAS score was 22.94 ± 3.67, reflecting moderate to high awareness. Female students (p = 0.001), prior knowledge of microplastics (p < 0.001), and concern about microplastic health risks (p < 0.001) were associated with higher awareness. Social media was the most common source of information (49.2%). Although awareness is moderate, significant gaps exist in students' understanding of microplastic health impacts. Targeted educational interventions are needed to close these gaps, empowering future healthcare professionals to address the risks of microplastic pollution.

This study aimed to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2, yeasts, and bacteria in isolated free-living amoeba (FLA) from COVID-19 patients. Nasopharyngeal swabs (n = 60) were obtained from COVID-19 patients. After cultivation, morphological characterization, and RNA/DNA extraction, the presence of selected microorganisms was investigated. From 60 COVID-19 samples, 18 (30%) were positive for FLA. Acanthamoeba sp. Naegleria australiensis, Tetramitus sp. and Vermamoeba vermiformis were characterized in 12 (80%), 1 (6.66%), 2 (13.33%), and 7 (38.88%) of samples, respectively. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was not detected in FLA. Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. parapsilosis were detected in (11/18; 61.11%), (3/18; 16.67%), and (3/18; 16.67%) of samples, respectively. Geotrichum candidum was detected in 10/18 (55.55%) of samples. Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were identified in 16/18 (88.88%) and 3/18 (16.67%), respectively. The presence of yeasts and bacteria signifies the possible role of FLA in distribution of secondary infections in susceptible patients.

本研究旨在调查从 COVID-19 患者体内分离出的自由生活阿米巴(FLA)中是否存在 SARS-CoV-2、酵母菌和细菌。研究人员从 COVID-19 患者身上采集了鼻咽拭子(n = 60)。经过培养、形态鉴定和 RNA/DNA 提取后,对所选微生物的存在情况进行了调查。在 60 份 COVID-19 样本中,18 份(30%)对 FLA 呈阳性。在 12 个样本(80%)、1 个样本(6.66%)、2 个样本(13.33%)和 7 个样本(38.88%)中分别鉴定出了棘阿米巴、澳大利亚奈格勒氏虫、四螨虫和疣状蛭。在 FLA 中未检测到 SARS-CoV-2 RNA。白念珠菌、热带念珠菌和副丝状念珠菌分别在(11/18;61.11%)、(3/18;16.67%)和(3/18;16.67%)个样本中检测到。10/18(55.55%)个样本中检测到念珠菌。在 16/18 个样本(88.88%)和 3/18 个样本(16.67%)中分别检测到链球菌属和葡萄球菌属。酵母菌和细菌的存在表明,FLA 在易感患者继发感染的分布中可能扮演了重要角色。

Evidence regarding the cognitive effects of air pollution is inconsistent. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the relationship between air pollutants and cognitive abilities using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). We systematically searched for studies published until July 1, 2023, and assessed heterogeneity with Cochran's Q test and I² statistics, while publication bias was evaluated using Funnel plots and Egger's test. Out of 380 studies, 17 were included in the meta-analysis. Results demonstrated significant relationship among long-term exposure to PM2.5, O3, and cognitive decline. The pooled RR of cognitive impairment per 10μg/m3 increase were 1.17 for PM2.5 and 1.07 for PM10. Furthermore, there was a significant association between cognitive decline and long-term exposure to PM2.5 (β = -0.30; I2 = 95.30%) and PM10 (β = -0.15; I2 = 87.50%). Our research suggests that long-term exposure to air pollution, especially PM2.5, is a risk factor for cognitive impairment.

有关空气污染对认知能力影响的证据并不一致。本研究旨在使用迷你精神状态检查(MMSE)定量分析空气污染物与认知能力之间的关系。我们系统地检索了 2023 年 7 月 1 日前发表的研究,并使用 Cochran's Q 检验和 I² 统计量评估了异质性,同时使用 Funnel 图和 Egger 检验评估了发表偏倚。在 380 项研究中,有 17 项纳入了荟萃分析。结果表明,长期暴露于 PM2.5、O3 与认知能力下降之间存在明显关系。PM2.5和PM10每增加10微克/立方米,认知障碍的总RR分别为1.17和1.07。此外,认知能力下降与长期暴露于PM2.5(β = -0.30;I2 = 95.30%)和PM10(β = -0.15;I2 = 87.50%)之间存在明显关联。我们的研究表明,长期暴露于空气污染,尤其是 PM2.5,是导致认知障碍的一个风险因素。

Metals interact with nutrients in plants grown on spent engine oil (SEO) soils; thus, relationship of metals and nutrients in several morphological parts of economical plants cultivated on SEO soils using a 3 × 4 factorial and a totally randomized design is documented. The polluted-vegetated soils were SEO treated at 0, 2, 4, 8% v/w and planted T. paniculatum and T. fruticosum separately. Before treatment, SEO tested positive for Cd, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cu, Fe and Ni, while at treatment, non-vegetated soils accumulated Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe. The T. paniculatum on SEO had more Cd among plants. ANOVA indicated significant (P < 0.05) relationship between metals, SEO and treated soils. A Post hoc indicated Fe and Pb levels differed significantly across SEO vegetated soils, while PCA suggests treated plant roots and leaves accumulated more of the toxic metals. These plants parts should not be consumed from SEO-polluted areas.

在废机油(SEO)土壤上种植的植物中,金属与养分相互作用;因此,本研究采用 3 × 4 因式设计和完全随机设计,记录了在废机油土壤上种植的经济植物的几个形态部位中金属与养分的关系。受污染的植被土壤经 0、2、4、8% v/w 的 SEO 处理后,分别种植了 T. paniculatum 和 T. fruticosum。处理前,SEO 对镉、锌、铅、铬、铜、铁和镍的检测呈阳性,而处理后,非植被土壤积累了铅、铜、锌、镍和铁。在 SEO 上的 T. paniculatum 在植物中的镉含量较高。方差分析表明,金属、SEO 和处理过的土壤之间有明显的关系(P < 0.05)。事后分析表明,SEO 植被土壤中铁和铅的含量差异显著,而 PCA 表明,处理过的植物根部和叶片积累了更多的有毒金属。这些植物部分不应在 SEO 污染地区食用。
