Fine particulate matter and incidence of metabolic syndrome in non-CVD patients: A nationwide population-based cohort study

Background

It has been reported that particulate matter (PM) is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) while metabolic syndrome is also an important risk factor for CVD. However, few studies have investigated the epidemiological association between PM and metabolic syndrome.

PAHs and PM2.5 emissions and female breast cancer incidence in metro Atlanta and rural Georgia

Environmental chemical exposure could be an important etiologic factor for geographic differences in breast cancer incidence. In this study, we examined emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and PM_2.5 in relation to breast cancer incidence in metro Atlanta and rural Georgia by analyzing data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program and the Environmental Protection Agency. The results showed that metro Atlanta had a significantly higher age-adjusted annual incidence rate of female breast cancer than rural Georgia (132.6 vs. 113.7 per 100,000) for 1992–2011. Emissions of both PAHs [adjusted β = 0.568 (95 % CI: 0.209, 0.927); p = 0.004] and PM_2.5 [adjusted β = 2.964 (95 % CI: 0.468, 5.459); p = 0.023] were significantly associated with breast cancer incidence in metro Atlanta area. This study suggests that ambient air pollution, especially PAHs and PM_2.5, could have a significant impact on the increased incidence of female breast cancer in urban areas.

Ability of rosetting or non-rosetting individual control and inflammatory macrophages to kill Escherichia coli X43 intracellularly

An autoradiographic method combined with a rosette technique was used to assess the bactericidal activity of individual control and inflammatory peritoneal macrophages (PM phi) in the presence or absence of expression of Fc receptor for IgG (FcR). There was a lack of FcR reactivity in a certain percentage of both categories of PM phi exposed to E. coli X43, a bacterium which is readily phagocytosed in the presence of specific antibody. Both rosetting and non-rosetting PM phi were capable of phagocytosing E. coli X43, but inflammatory PM phi showed a marked reduction in their capacity to ingest these bacteria compared with control PM phi. Once ingested the E. coli X43 were killed equally well by non-rosetting and rosetting control and inflammatory PM phi.     

武汉市颗粒物污染对呼吸系统健康影响及经济损失分析

目的评估颗粒物(particulate matter,PM)污染对呼吸系统疾病(respiratory disease,RD)住院人数的影响,估计降低PM水平可避免的经济损失,为评估空气污染治理的成本-效益提供依据。方法收集武汉市2015—2019年两家三甲医院RD住院患者资料、同期武汉市PM浓度和气象数据。采用广义相加模型(generalized additive model,GAM)估计PM对RD住院人数的影响,采用疾病成本法(cost of illness approach,COI)估算PM浓度降低带来的可避免经济损失。结果PM污染造成RD住院人数增加,PM_(2.5)和PM_(10)浓度每上升10μg/m^(3),分别导致RD住院人数上升1.71%和0.71%。其中男性和0~14岁人群受影响较大,PM_(2.5)浓度每上升10μg/m^(3),男性和0~14岁住院人数分别上升1.97%和2.65%;PM_(10)浓度每上升10μg/m^(3),男性和0~14岁住院人数分别上升0.87%和0.88%。2015—2019年PM污染造成武汉市6.33万人住院和12.14亿元经济损失。若PM浓度降低至同期世界卫生组织建议值,武汉市每年可避免1.94亿元经济损失和1.01万人住院。结论PM暴露可导致沉重的疾病负担和经济损失,采取有效的措施控制PM浓度,将带来较大的经济效益。
