Zhang Y, He Q, Tong X, Yin P, Liu Y, Meng X, Gao Y, Shi S, Li X, Kan H, Zhou M, Li Y, Chen R. Differential associations of fine and coarse particulate air pollution with cause-specific pneumonia mortality: A nationwide, individual-level, case-crossover study. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:119054. [PMID: 38704007 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The connections between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse particulate matter (PM2.5-10) and daily mortality of viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia were unclear. OBJECTIVES To distinguish the connections between PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 and daily mortality due to viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia. METHODS Using a comprehensive national death registry encompassing all areas of mainland China, we conducted a case-crossover investigation from 2013 to 2019 at an individual level. Residential daily particle concentrations were evaluated using satellite-based models with a spatial resolution of 1 km. To analyze the data, we employed the conditional logistic regression model in conjunction with polynomial distributed lag models. RESULTS We included 221,507 pneumonia deaths in China. Every interquartile range (IQR) elevation in concentrations of PM2.5 (lag 0-2 d, 37.6 μg/m3) was associated with higher magnitude of mortality for viral pneumonia (3.03%) than bacterial pneumonia (2.14%), whereas the difference was not significant (p-value for difference = 0.38). An IQR increase in concentrations of PM2.5-10 (lag 0-2 d, 28.4 μg/m3) was also linked to higher magnitude of mortality from viral pneumonia (3.06%) compared to bacterial pneumonia (2.31%), whereas the difference was not significant (p-value for difference = 0.52). After controlling for gaseous pollutants, their effects were all stable; however, with mutual adjustment, the associations of PM2.5 remained, and those of PM2.5-10 were no longer statistically significant. Greater magnitude of associations was noted in individuals aged 75 years and above, as well as during the cold season. CONCLUSION This nationwide study presents compelling evidence that both PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 exposures could increase pneumonia mortality of viral and bacterial causes, highlighting the more robust effects of PM2.5 and somewhat higher sensitivity of viral pneumonia.

Associations between long-term exposure to air pollution and kidney function utilizing electronic healthcare records: a cross-sectional study. Environ Health 2024; 23:43. [PMID: 38654228 PMCID: PMC11036746 DOI: 10.1186/s12940-024-01080-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 38 million people in the United States, predominantly those over 65 years of age. While CKD etiology is complex, recent research suggests associations with environmental exposures. METHODS Our primary objective is to examine creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr) and diagnosis of CKD and potential associations with fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) using a random sample of North Carolina electronic healthcare records (EHRs) from 2004 to 2016. We estimated eGFRcr using the serum creatinine-based 2021 CKD-EPI equation. PM2.5 and NO2 data come from a hybrid model using 1 km2 grids and O3 data from 12 km2 CMAQ grids. Exposure concentrations were 1-year averages. We used linear mixed models to estimate eGFRcr per IQR increase of pollutants. We used multiple logistic regression to estimate associations between pollutants and first appearance of CKD. We adjusted for patient sex, race, age, comorbidities, temporality, and 2010 census block group variables. RESULTS We found 44,872 serum creatinine measurements among 7,722 patients. An IQR increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 1.63 mL/min/1.73m2 (95% CI: -1.96, -1.31) reduction in eGFRcr, with O3 and NO2 showing positive associations. There were 1,015 patients identified with CKD through e-phenotyping and ICD codes. None of the environmental exposures were positively associated with a first-time measure of eGFRcr < 60 mL/min/1.73m2. NO2 was inversely associated with a first-time diagnosis of CKD with aOR of 0.77 (95% CI: 0.66, 0.90). CONCLUSIONS One-year average PM2.5 was associated with reduced eGFRcr, while O3 and NO2 were inversely associated. Neither PM2.5 or O3 were associated with a first-time identification of CKD, NO2 was inversely associated. We recommend future research examining the relationship between air pollution and impaired renal function.

Association between ambient PM 1 and the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in China: A nationwide study. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 468:133827. [PMID: 38377899 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Particulate of diameter ≤ 1 µm (PM1) presents a novel risk factor of adverse health effects. Nevertheless, the association of PM1 with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population is not well understood, particularly in regions with high PM1 levels like China. Based on a nationwide representative survey involving 47,204 adults and multi-source ambient air pollution inversion data, the present study evaluated the association of PM1 with CKD prevalence in China. The two-year average PM1, particulate of diameter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5), and PM1-2.5 values were accessed using a satellite-based random forest approach. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or albuminuria. The results suggested that a 10 μg/m3 rise in PM1 was related to a higher CKD risk (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-1.18) and albuminuria (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05-1.17). The association between PM1 and CKD was more evident among urban populations, older adults, and those without comorbidities such as diabetes or hypertension. Every 1% increase in the PM1/PM2.5 ratio was related to the prevalence of CKD (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.03-1.04), but no significant relationship was found for PM1-2.5. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated long-term exposure to PM1 was associated with an increased risk of CKD in the general population and PM1 might play a leading role in the observed relationship of PM2.5 with the risk of CKD. These findings provide crucial evidence for developing air pollution control strategies to reduce the burden of CKD.

J Nephrol 2024; 37:723-737. [PMID: 38512378 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-024-01914-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of disability in CKD is high. In this context the aim of the present study was to assess the temporal trends of prevalence and disability progression for chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by specific etiologies. METHODS Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2019, we examined the age-standardized rates of CKD prevalence and disability-adjusted life-years for different etiologies, including Type 1/2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM/T2DM), glomerulonephritis, and hypertension. We also calculated the average annual percentage changes to assess trends. Additionally, we utilized the joinpoint regression model to identify significant shifts over time. RESULTS From 1990 to 2019, the global prevalence of CKD due to various etiologies exhibited an overall increasing trend, albeit with fluctuations. Notably, CKD due to T1DM, glomerulonephritis, and hypertension consistently demonstrated a significant upward trend across all continents, while the prevalence of CKD due to T2DM varied across continents. In terms of disability-adjusted life-years, CKD due to T2DM and hypertension exhibited a significant rising trend over the past 30 years. However, changes in age standardized disability-adjusted life-years for CKD due to different etiologies were not consistent across continents, with an upward trend observed in The Americas and a contrasting trend in Asia. Furthermore, both age-standardized prevalence rate and age standardized disability-adjusted life-year trends for CKD varied significantly across 204 countries and territories. Additionally, a negative association was observed between the Socio-demographic Index and the disability progression of CKD. CONCLUSION The prevalence and disability burden of CKD caused by specific etiologies show substantial heterogeneity worldwide, highlighting significant disparities in the distribution of CKD. It is crucial to implement geographic and personalized strategies in different regions to alleviate the burden of CKD effectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to explore the associations of outdoor light at night (LAN) and air pollution with the risk of cerebrovascular disease (CeVD). METHODS We included a total of 28 302 participants enrolled in Ningbo, China from 2015 to 2018. Outdoor LAN and air pollution were assessed by Satellite-derived images and land-use regression models. CeVD cases were confirmed by medical records and death certificates and further subdivided into ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% CIs. RESULTS A total of 1278 CeVD cases (including 777 ischemic and 133 hemorrhagic stroke cases) were identified during 127 877 person-years of follow-up. In the single-exposure models, the hazard ratios for CeVD were 1.17 (95% CI, 1.06-1.29) for outdoor LAN, 1.25 (1.12-1.39) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm, 1.14 (1.06-1.22) for particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm, and 1.21 (1.06-1.38) for NO2 in every interquartile range increase. The results were similar for ischemic stroke, whereas no association was observed for hemorrhagic stroke. In the multiple-exposure models, the associations of outdoor LAN and PM with CeVD persisted but not for ischemic stroke. Furthermore, no interaction was observed between outdoor LAN and air pollution. CONCLUSIONS Levels of exposure to outdoor LAN and air pollution were positively associated with the risk of CeVD. Furthermore, the detrimental effects of outdoor LAN and air pollution might be mutually independent.

ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2024; 186:108657. [PMID: 38626496 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/18/2024]
Abstract
The increasing frequency of heat waves under the global urbanization and climate change background poses elevating risks of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nevertheless, there has been no evidence on associations between long-term exposures to heat waves and CKD as well as the modifying effects of land cover patterns. Based on a national representative population-based survey on CKD covering 47,086 adults and high spatial resolution datasets on temperature and land cover data, we found that annual days of exposure to heat waves were associated with increased odds of CKD prevalence. For one day/year increases in HW_975_4d (above 97.5 % of annual maximum temperature and lasting for at least 4 consecutive days), the odds ratio (OR) of CKD was 1.14 (95 %CI: 1.12, 1.15). Meanwhile, stronger associations were observed in regions with lower urbanicity [rural: 1.14 (95 %CI: 1.12, 1.16) vs urban: 1.07 (95 %CI: 1.03, 1.11), Pinteraction < 0.001], lower water body coverage [lower: 1.14 (95 %CI: 1.12, 1.16) vs higher: 1.02 (95 %CI: 0.98, 1.05), Pinteraction < 0.001], and lower impervious area coverage [lower: 1.16 (95 %CI: 1.14, 1.18) vs higher: 1.06 (95 %CI: 1.03, 1.10), Pinteraction = 0.008]. In addition, this study found disparities in modifying effects of water bodies and impervious areas in rural and urban settings. In rural regions, the associations between heat waves and CKD prevalence showed a consistent decreasing trend with increases in both proportions of water bodies and impervious areas (Pinteraction < 0.05). Nevertheless, in urban regions, we observed significant effect modification by water bodies, but not by impervious areas. Our study indicates the need for targeted land planning as part of adapting to the kidney impacts of heat waves, with a focus on urbanization in rural regions, as well as water body construction and utilization in both rural and urban regions.

Investigating strontium isotope linkage between biominerals (uroliths), drinking water and environmental matrices. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 344:123316. [PMID: 38185358 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
This study presents the mineralogy and strontium isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr) of 21 pathological biominerals (bladder and kidney stones) collected from patients admitted between 2018 and 2020 at the Department of Urology of the San Pio Hospital (Benevento, southern Italy). Urinary stones belong to the calcium oxalate, purine or calcium phosphate mineralogy types. Their corresponding 87Sr/86Sr range from 0.707607 for an uricite sample to 0.709970 for a weddellite one, and seem to be partly discriminated based on the mineralogy. The comparison with the isotope characteristics of 38 representative Italian bottled and tap drinking waters show a general overlap in 87Sr/86Sr with the biominerals. However, on a smaller geographic area (Campania Region), we observe small 87Sr/86Sr differences between the biominerals and local waters. This may be explained by external Sr inputs for example from agriculture practices, inhaled aerosols (i.e., particulate matter), animal manure and sewage, non-regional foods. Nevertheless, biominerals of patients that stated to drink and eat local water/wines and foods every day exhibited a narrower 87Sr/86Sr range roughly matching the typical isotope ratios of local geological materials and waters, as well as those of archaeological biominerals from the same area. Finally, we conclude that the strontium isotope signature of urinary stones may reflect that of the environmental matrices surrounding patients, but future investigations are recommended to ultimately establish the potential for pathological biominerals as reliable biomonitoring proxies, taking into the account the contribution of the external sources of Sr.

Ambient PM 2.5 components and prevalence of chronic kidney disease: a nationwide cross-sectional survey in China. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2024; 46:70. [PMID: 38353840 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-024-01867-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health concern, and accumulating evidence has indicated that air pollution increases the odds of CKD. However, a limited number of studies have examined the long-term effects of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) components on the risk of CKD among general population; thus, major knowledge gaps remain. METHODS Using data from a nationwide representative cross-sectional survey in China and a validated PM2.5 composition dataset, we established generalized linear models to quantify the association between five major components of PM2.5 and CKD prevalence. RESULTS There were significant associations between long-term exposure to three PM2.5 components [including black carbon (BC), sulfate (SO42-), organic matter (OM)] and increased odds of CKD prevalence. Along with an interquartile range (IQR) increment in BC (3.3 μg/m3), SO42- (9.7 μg/m3), and OM (16.2 μg/m3) at a 4-year moving average, the odds ratios (ORs) for CKD prevalence were 1.28 (95% CI 1.07, 1.54), 1.23 (95% CI 1.03, 1.45), and 1.23 (95% CI 1.02, 1.47), respectively. We did not detect any significant association of the other two PM2.5 components [nitrate (NO3-) or ammonium (NH4+)] with CKD prevalence. Stratified analyses revealed no differences (P ≥ 0.05) in the effect estimates of subgroups based on administrative region, sex, age, and other demographic characteristics. For instance, along with an IQR increment in BC at a 4-year moving average, the ORs of CKD prevalence among males and females were 1.30 (95% CI 0.98, 1.73) and 1.29 (95% CI 1.01, 1.65), respectively. The odds of CKD were generally higher with increasing PM2.5 composition concentration. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that long-term exposure to specific PM2.5 components including BC, SO42-, and OM increased CKD risk in the general population. This study could provide new insights into source-directed PM2.5 control and CKD prevention.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 270:115829. [PMID: 38103521 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Impact of air pollution on incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetic patients is insufficiently studied. We aimed to examine exposure-response associations of PM2.5, PM10, PM2.5-10, NO2, and NOX with incident CKD in diabetic patients in the UK. We also widened exposure level of PM2.5 and examined PM2.5-CKD association in diabetic patients across the entire range of global concentration. Based on data from UK biobank cohort, we applied Cox proportional hazards models and the shape constrained health impact function to investigate the associations between air pollutants and incident CKD in diabetic patients. Global exposure mortality model was applied to combine the PM2.5-CKD association in diabetic patients in the UK with all other published associations. Multiple air pollutants were positively associated with incident CKD in diabetic patients in the UK, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 1.034 (95 %CI: 1.015-1.053) and 1.021 (95 %CI: 1.007-1.036) for every 1 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 and PM10 concentration, and 1.113 (95 %CI: 1.053-1.177) and 1.058 (95 %CI: 1.027-1.091) for every 10 μg/m3 increase in NO2 and NOX concentration, respectively. For PM2.5-10, associations with CKD in diabetic patients did not reach the statistical significance. Exposure-response associations with CKD in diabetic patients showed a near-linear trend for PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and NOX in the UK, whereas PM2.5-DKD associations in the globe exhibited a non-linear increasing trend. This study supports that air pollution could significantly increase the risk of CKD onset in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Several studies have reported an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) outcomes after long-term exposure (more than 1 year) to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5). However, the conclusions remain inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to examine the association between long-term PM2.5 exposure and CKD outcomes. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials, and Embase for relevant studies published until August 10, 2023. The main outcomes were incidence and prevalence of CKD as well as incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The random-effect model meta-analyses were used to estimate the risk of each outcome among studies. Twenty two studies were identified, including 14 cohort studies, and 8 cross-sectional studies, with a total of 7,967,388 participants. This meta-analysis revealed that each 10 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5 was significantly associated with increased risks of both incidence and prevalence of CKD [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.31 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.24 to 1.40), adjusted OR 1.31 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.67), respectively]. In addition, the relationship with ESKD incidence is suggestive of increased risk but not conclusive (adjusted OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.36). The incidence and prevalence of CKD outcomes had a consistent association across all subgroups and adjustment variables. Our study observed an association between long-term PM2.5 exposure and the risks of CKD. However, more dedicated studies are required to show causation that warrants urgent action on PM2.5 to mitigate the global burden of CKD.

Abstract
Although epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between ambient air pollution and chronic kidney disease (CKD), the results remain mixed. To clarify the nature of the association, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the global relationship between air pollution and CKD. The Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases systematically were searched for studies published up to July 2023 and included 32 studies that met specific criteria. The random effects model was used to derive overall risk estimates for each pollutant. The meta-analysis estimated odds ratio (ORs) of risk for CKD were 1.42 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-1.54) for each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 ; 1.20 (95% CI: 1.14-1.26) for each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 ; 1.07 (95% CI: 1.05-1.09) for each 10 μg/m3 increase in NO2 ; 1.03 (95% CI: 1.02-1.03) for each 10 μg/m3 increase in NOX ; 1.07 (95% CI: 1.01-1.12) for each 1 ppb increase in SO2 ; 1.03 (95% CI: 1.00-1.05) for each 0.1 ppm increase in CO. Subgroup analysis showed that this effect varied by gender ratio, age, study design, exposure assessment method, and income level. Furthermore, PM2.5 , PM10 , and NO2 had negative effects on CKD even within the World Health Organization-recommended acceptable concentrations. Our results further confirmed the adverse effect of air pollution on the risk of CKD. These findings can contribute to enhance the awareness of the importance of reducing air pollution among public health officials and policymakers.

Abstract
Air pollution generated by urbanization and industrialization poses a significant negative impact on public health. Particularly, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has become one of the leading causes of lung cancer mortality worldwide. The relationship between air pollutants and lung cancer has aroused global widespread concerns. Currently, the spatial agglomeration dynamic of lung cancer incidence (LCI) has been seldom discussed, and the spatial heterogeneity of lung cancer's influential factors has been ignored. Moreover, it is still unclear whether different socioeconomic levels and climate zones exhibit modification effects on the relationship between PM2.5 and LCI. In the present work, spatial autocorrelation was adopted to reveal the spatial aggregation dynamic of LCI, the emerging hot spot analysis was introduced to indicate the hot spot changes of LCI, and the geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model was used to determine the affecting factors of LCI and their spatial heterogeneity. Then, the modification effects of PM2.5 on the LCI under different socioeconomic levels and climatic zones were explored. Some findings were obtained. The LCI demonstrated a significant spatial autocorrelation, and the hot spots of LCI were mainly concentrated in eastern China. The affecting factors of LCI revealed an obvious spatial heterogeneity. PM2.5 concentration, nighttime light data, 2 m temperature, and 10 m u-component of wind represented significant positive effects on LCI, while education-related POI exhibited significant negative effects on LCI. The LCI in areas with low urbanization rates, low education levels, and extreme climate conditions was more easily affected by PM2.5 than in other areas. The results can provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of lung cancer and related epidemics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urbanization greatly affects the natural and social environment of human existence and may have a multifactoral impact on parasitic diseases. Schistosomiasis, a common parasitic disease transmitted by the snail Oncomelania hupensis, is mainly found in areas with population aggregations along rivers and lakes where snails live. Previous studies have suggested that factors related to urbanization may influence the infection risk of schistosomiasis, but this association remains unclear. This study aimed to analyse the effect of urbanization on schistosomiasis infection risk from a spatial and temporal perspective in the endemic areas along the Yangtze River Basin in China. METHODS County-level schistosomiasis surveillance data and natural environmental factor data covering the whole Anhui Province were collected. The urbanization level was characterized based on night-time light data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) and the National Polar-Orbiting Partnership's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP-VIIRS). The geographically and temporally weighted regression model (GTWR) was used to quantify the influence of urbanization on schistosomiasis infection risk with the other potential risk factors controlled. The regression coefficient of urbanization was tested for significance (α = 0.05), and the influence of urbanization on schistosomiasis infection risk was analysed over time and across space based on significant regression coefficients. Variables studied included climate, soil, vegetation, hydrology and topography. RESULTS The mean regression coefficient for urbanization (0.167) is second only to the leached soil area (0.300), which shows that the urbanization is the most important influence factors for schistosomiasis infection risk besides leached soil area. The other important variables are distance to the nearest water source (0.165), mean minimum temperature (0.130), broadleaf forest area (0.105), amount of precipitation (0.073), surface temperature (0.066), soil bulk density (0.037) and grassland area (0.031). The influence of urbanization on schistosomiasis infection risk showed a decreasing trend year by year. During the study period, the significant coefficient of urbanization level increased from - 0.205 to - 0.131. CONCLUSIONS The influence of urbanization on schistosomiasis infection has spatio-temporal heterogeneous. The urbanization does reduce the risk of schistosomiasis infection to some extend, but the strength of this influence decreases with increasing urbanization. Additionally, the effect of urbanization on schistosomiasis infection risk was greater than previous reported natural environmental factors. This study provides scientific basis for understanding the influence of urbanization on schistosomiasis, and also provides the feasible research methods for other similar studies to answer the issue about the impact of urbanization on disease risk.

Associations of multiple air pollutants with kidney function in normal-weight and obese adults and effect modification by free fatty acids. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 341:140009.

Abstract
Increasing studies have linked air pollution to kidney dysfunction, however, the associations between the mixture of air pollutants and kidney function and potential effect modifiers remain unclear. We aimed to investigate whether obese adults were more susceptible than normal-weight ones to the joint effects of multiple air pollutants on kidney function and further to explore effect modification by free fatty acids (FFAs). Forty obese and 49 normal-weight adults were recruited from a panel study (252 follow-up visits). Individual exposure levels of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2 and CO) were estimated. Glomerular function (cystatin C (CysC) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)) and tubular function (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1) were evaluated. Plasma levels of FFAs including trans fatty acids (TFAs) and essential fatty acids (EFAs) were quantified using targeted metabolomics. Bayesian kernel machine regression model was applied to estimate the associations between the mixture of air pollutants and kidney function. The results showed significant joint effects of air pollutants on kidney function indicators. In the normal-weight group, the mixture of air pollutants was significantly associated with CysC and eGFRcr-cys when the mixture was at or above its 70 percentile compared with the median, where O3 was identified as the key pollutant. In the obese group, a significantly positive association between the pollutant mixture and NGAL was observed in addition to trends in CysC and eGFRcr-cys, mainly driven by SO2. Interaction analysis suggested that the associations of air pollutants with kidney function were augmented by TFAs in both groups and weakened by EFAs in the normal-weight group. This study highlighted the renal adverse effects of air pollutants and modification of FFAs, which has implications for target prevention for kidney dysfunction associated with air pollution, especially among vulnerable populations.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an inflammatory disease characterized by the deterioration of renal function, which imposes a significant burden on the healthcare system. In the recent decades, the ageing of the population and the increase of ozone pollution have accelerated. However, epidemiological associations between long-term ozone exposure and renal function in susceptible populations are understudied. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of 1 y ozone exposure with renal function among the older adults in Xiamen City, China. We recruited 6024 eligible participants with a median age of 65.00 years, estimated their ozone exposure data, and collected questionnaires on demographic status and lifestyle factors as well as information on healthcare access. A generalized linear model was used to assess the association. An increase of 10 μg/m3 of 1 y ozone exposure was negatively associated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [-3.12 (95% CI: -4.76, -1.48)]. The associations were stronger in men, non-smokers, and those with hypertension or T2DM. Clinical indicators of high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and total cholesterol were the main mediators to regulate the ozone-renal function association. Our results suggested that long-term ozone exposure is a potential risk factor for renal function in Chinese middle-aged and elderly adults.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132501. [PMID: 37690203 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver fibrosis is an important feature in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). This study aimed to explore the association between long-term ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure and advanced liver fibrosis (ALF) in MAFLD participants. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 23170 adults recruited from 33 provinces of China from 2010 to 2020. ALF was detected using the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score (NFS). The annual average levels of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of ≤ 1 µm (PM1), ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and ≤ 10 µm (PM10) were calculated using validated spatiotemporal models. Generalized additive models were applied to analyze the association between PM and ALF in patients with MAFLD. RESULTS One-year exposure to higher levels of all PM was found to increase the risk of ALF, with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.10 (95% CI 1.06-1.14), 1.05 (1.03-1.07), and 1.03(1.02-1.04) for each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. With the dissection of the impact of PM1 in PM2.5, PM2.5 in PM10 and PM1 in PM10, we found that PM2.5 had a stronger impact on ALF (both Pinteraction<0.05) in comparison with PM1 and PM10. CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to PM is associated with ALF in patients with MAFLD, with PM2.5 playing a dominant role.

Fine and coarse particulate air pollution and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest onset: a nationwide case-crossover study in China. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 457:131829.

Abstract
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global public health concern. Nationwide studies on the effects of short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) on OHCA risk are rare in regions with high PM levels, and evidence for coarse PM (PM2.5-10) is limited and inconsistent. To evaluate the associations between fine PM (PM2.5) and PM2.5-10 and OHCA onset, a time-stratified case-crossover study was conducted on 77,261 patients with cardiac OHCA in 26 cities across China in 2020. Daily PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 concentrations were assessed with high-resolution and full-coverage PM estimations. Conditional logistic regression models were applied in analyses. Each interquartile range of PM increase in 3-day moving average was associated with an increased risk of cardiac OHCA onset of 2.37% (95% CI, 1.20-3.56%) for PM2.5 and 2.12% (95% CI, 0.70-3.56%) for PM2.5-10. Stratified analyses showed higher susceptibility in patients over 75 years for PM2.5 exposure and with diabetes for PM2.5-10. This first nationwide study in region with high PM levels and great PM variability found not only PM2.5 but also PM2.5-10 were associated with a higher risk of OHCA onset, which could add powerful epidemiological evidence to this field and provide new evidence for the formulation of air quality guidelines.

Abstract
Little is known about the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We aimed to investigate the long-term trends in CKD prevalence from South Korea including the early pandemic. We used data from 108,152 Korean adults from 2007 to 2020 obtained from a representative longitudinal serial study. We defined CKD as a condition when the participant's estimated glomerular filtration rate was < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, or one-time spot proteinuria was ≥ 1 +, and then examined the overall trends in the prevalence of CKD. Among the included adults (n = 80,010), the overall national prevalence of CKD was 6.2%. The trend slope gradually increased from 2007 to 2019, however, there was a sudden decrease in 2020 (2007-2010, 5.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.7-5.5]; 2017-2019, 7.1% [95% CI 6.6-7.6]; pandemic period, 6.5% [95% CI 5.7-7.3]; and βdiff, - 0.19; 95% CI - 0.24 to - 0.13). The prevalence of CKD among younger adults and those with poor medical utilization significantly decreased during the early pandemic. This study was the first large-scale study to investigate the longitudinal prevalence of CKD from 2007 to 2020. Further research is needed to fully understand the exact causes for this decline and to identify healthcare policy strategies for preventing and managing CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While epidemiological studies have found correlations between light at night (LAN) and health effects, none has so far investigated the impacts of LAN on population mortality yet. We aimed to estimate the relative risk for mortality from exposure to LAN in Mainland China. METHODS This time-stratified case-crossover nationwide study used NPP-VIIRS to obtain daily LAN data of Mainland China between 2015 and 2019. The daily mortality data were obtained from the Disease Surveillance Point System in China. Conditional Poisson regression models were applied to examine the relative risk (RR) for mortality along daily LAN in each county, then meta-analysis was performed to combine the county-specific estimates at the national or regional level. RESULTS A total of 579 counties with an average daily LAN of 4.39 (range: 1.02-35.46) were included in the main analysis. The overall RRs per 100 nW/cm2/sr increases in daily LAN were 1.08 (95%CI: 1.05-1.11) for all-cause mortality and 1.08 (95%CI: 1.05-1.11) for natural-cause mortality. A positive association between LAN and all natural cause-specific mortality was observed, of which the strongest effect was observed on mortality caused by neuron system disease (RR = 1.32, 95%CI: 1.14-1.52). The results were robust in both younger and old, as well as in males and females. The more pronounced effect of LAN was observed in median LAN-level regions. Combined with an exposure-response curve, our study suggests a non-linear association between LAN and mortality in China. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows LAN is associated with mortality in China, particularly for neuron system disease-related mortality. These findings have important implications for public health policy establishment to minimize the health consequences of light pollution.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 253:114686. [PMID: 36863162 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have focused on the associations between air pollutants and multiple organ system diseases in the entire hospitalized population. The present study aims to explore the short-term effects of six routinely monitored air pollutants on the broad causes of hospital admissions and estimate the resulting hospital admission burdens. METHODS Daily hospital admission records from 2017 to 2019 were obtained from the Wuhan Information center of Health and Family Planning. Generalized additive models (GAMs) were employed to evaluate the effects of air pollutants on the percent increase in the cause-specific daily number of hospital admissions. Increased hospital admission numbers, days, and expenses were also estimated. RESULTS A total of 2636,026 hospital admissions were identified. We found that both PM2.5 and PM10 increased the risk of hospital admissions for most disease categories. Short-term exposure to PM2.5 was positively associated with hospitalizations of several rarely studied disease categories, such as diseases of the eye and adnexa (2.83%, 95%CI: 0.96-4.73%, P < 0.01) and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (2.17%, 95% CI: 0.88-3.47%, P < 0.001). NO2 was observed to have a robust effect on diseases of the respiratory system (1.36%, 95%CI: 0.74-1.98%, P < 0.001). CO was significantly associated with hospital admissions for six disease categories. Furthermore, each 10-μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was associated with an annual increase of 13,444 hospital admissions (95% CI: 6239-20,649), 124,344 admission days (95% CI: 57,705-190,983), and 166-million-yuan admission expenses (95% CI: 77-255). CONCLUSION Our study suggested that particulate matter (PM) had a short-term effect on hospital admissions of most major disease categories and resulted in a considerable hospital admission burden. In addition, the health effects of NO2 and CO emissions require more attention in megacities.

Regional urbanicity levels modify the association between ambient air pollution and prevalence of obesity: A nationwide cross-sectional survey. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 320:121079. [PMID: 36640521 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Ambient air pollution exposure may increase the risk of obesity, but the population susceptibility associated with urbanicity has been insufficiently investigated. Based on a nationwide representative cross-sectional survey on 44,544 adults, high-resolution night light satellite remote sensing products, and multi-source ambient air pollution inversion data, the present study evaluated the associations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations with the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity. We further calculated the associations in regions with different urbanicity levels characterized by both administrative classification of urban/rural regions and night light index (NLI). We found that 10 μg/m3 increments in PM2.5 at 1-year moving average and in NO2 at 5-year moving average were associated with increased prevalence of obesity [odds ratios (OR) = 1.16 (1.14, 1.19); 1.12 (1.09, 1.15), respectively] and abdominal obesity [OR = 1.08 (1.07, 1.10); 1.07 (1.05, 1.09), respectively]. People in rural regions experienced stronger adverse effects than those in urban regions. For instance, a 10 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5 was associated with stronger odds of obesity in rural regions than in urban regions [OR = 1.27 (1.23, 1.31) vs 1.10 (1.05, 1.14), P for interaction <0.001]. In addition, lower NLI values were associated with constantly amplified associations of PM2.5 and NO2 with obesity and abdominal obesity (all P for interaction <0.001). In summary, people in less urbanized regions are more susceptible to the adverse effects of ambient air pollution on obesity, suggesting the significance of collaborative planning of urbanization development and air pollution control, especially in less urbanized regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experiment studies have suggested the emerging role of air pollutants in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, only a few population studies conducted in Asia and North America have assessed their association, and the conclusions remained controversial. This study aims to investigate the effect of air pollutants exposure on CKD in the European population and first explores the modification effect of genetic risk on this association. METHODS 458,968 participants from the UK Biobank were included in this study. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the associations of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and NOx) with incident CKD. A genetic risk score of 53 single nucleotide polymorphisms was constructed to represent the genetic susceptibility to CKD. To assess the interaction effect between air pollutants and the genetic risk, we added a multiplicative interaction term and did a stratified analysis. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 11.7 years, 16,637 incidents of CKD were identified. We observed positive associations between air pollutants exposure and CKD risk with the HRs for CKD were 1.09 (1.07, 1.11), 1.08 (1.06, 1.10), 1.05 (1.03, 1.07), 1.06 (1.04, 1.08) with per IQR (interquartile range) increment in PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and NOx, respectively. Stratified analysis showed that the associations between air pollutants and CKD were modest and marginal in the high genetic risk population (P > 0.05), while the associations were statistically significant in the low and intermediate genetic risk groups. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated that exposure to various air pollutants, including PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and NOx, was associated with an elevated risk of CKD. This finding provide evidence that formulating strategies to improve air quality can be helpful to reduce the burden of CKD.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:114144. [PMID: 35998701 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have examined the effects of multi-pollutant air pollution on renal health, especially in children and adolescents. This study investigated the association between long-term ambient air pollution exposure and renal health in Asian children and adolescents. METHODS This study included 10,942 children and adolescents from Taiwan and Hong Kong between 2000 and 2017. PM2.5, NO2 and O3 concentrations were estimated using satellite-based spatiotemporal regression models. Two-year average concentrations, those of the year of visit and the preceding year, were used. Linear mixed models were used to examine the association between air pollution and yearly changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Cox regression models with time-dependent covariates were used to examine the association between air pollution and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). RESULTS Median age of the participants was 19 years (range: 2-25). The overall average concentration of PM2.5, NO2 and O3 was 26.7 μg/m3, 44.1 μg/m3 and 51.1 μg/m3, respectively. The mean yearly change in eGFR was 0.37 μL/min/1.73 m2 and the incidence rate of CKD was 6.8 per 1,000 person-years. In single-pollutant models, each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 0.45 μL/min/1.73 m2 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.28-0.63] reduction in the yearly increase in eGFR and 53% [hazard ratio (HR): 1.53 (95%CI: 1.07-2.2)] greater risk of incident CKD. Each 10 μg/m3 increase in NO2 was associated with a 7% [HR (95%CI): 1.07 (1.00-1.15)] higher risk of incident CKD, while an equivalent increase in O3 was associated with a 19% [HR (95%CI): 0.81 (0.67-0.98)] lower risk. CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and NO2 was associated with a slower growth of eGFR and a higher risk of incident CKD in children and adolescents. Our findings suggest that air pollution control in early life is imperative to improve lifelong renal health and alleviate the CKD burden.

Ambient ozone pollution and prevalence of chronic kidney disease: A nationwide study based on the China National survey of chronic kidney disease. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 306:135603. [PMID: 35803371 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The health hazards of ambient ozone (O3) pollution are receiving increasing attention worldwide. However, the evidence on the association between O3 and risks of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains insufficient and inconsistent, particularly in developing countries where there is an absence of macroscopic investigations at a large population scale. Based on data from a representative nationwide cross-sectional CKD survey in 13 Chinese provinces and a high resolution O3 air pollution inversion dataset, generalized linear models were used to evaluate the associations of O3 concentration with prevalence of CKD. The results of this study suggested that long-term O3 exposure was positively associated with the risk of CKD. A 10 μg/m3 increment in O3 concentration was associated with an increased odds of CKD prevalence [OR = 1.11 (95% CI: 1.03, 1.21)] among all the 47,086 participants. Stronger associations were found in urban regions, younger adults <65 years, and people with higher socio-economic status (income and education level). A 10 μg/m3 increment in O3 concentration was associated with a higher increased odds of CKD prevalence in urban regions [OR = 1.31 (95% CI: 1.16, 1.47)] compared to rural regions [OR = 0.95 (95% CI: 0.84, 1.08), P for subgroup difference<0.001]. A stronger association of O3 concentration with CKD prevalence was found among younger people aged <65 years [OR = 1.21 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.33)] compared to those aged ≥65 years [OR = 0.92 (95% CI: 0.79, 1.07), P for subgroup difference = 0.003]. Our study demonstrated that long-term O3 exposure may increase risk of CKD in the general Chinese population, and the findings stressed the importance of persistent efforts in air pollution prevention and control.

Abstract
Objectives There is paucity of studies to investigate the association between combined and long-term exposure to air pollution and the risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in older adults. Methods A prospective cohort of 90,032 older adults who did not have CKD at baseline were followed up from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019. Various pollutant data, including particulate matter with diameters ≤ 2.5 mm (PM2.5), ≤ 10 mm (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), Ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO), from all monitoring stations in Binhai New Area, Tianjin were considered in calculating the mean exposure concentration of each pollutant over 2 years. By summing each pollutant concentration weighted by the regression coefficients, we developed an air pollution score that assesses the combined exposure of these air pollutants. Due to the strong correlation between air pollutants, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) score was also developed. The association between air pollutants and incident CKD in the elderly was analyzed. Results A total of 90,032 subjects participated in this study with a median follow-up of 545 days. Among them, 22,336 (24.8%) developed CKD. The HR (95% CI) for air pollution score and incidence of CKD was 1.062 (1.060-1.063) and p <0.001 after adjusting for all confounders. The adjusted HRs for the quartile subgroups of combined air pollution score were: Q2: 1.064 (1.013-1.117); Q3: 1.141 (1.088-1.198); and Q4: 3.623 (3.482-3.770), respectively (p for trend <0.001). The adjusted HRs for the quartile subgroups of air quality index (AQI) were: Q2: 1.035 (0.985-1.086); Q3: 1.145 (1.091-1.201); and Q4: 3.603 (3.463-3.748), respectively (p for trend <0.001). When the risk score was over 86.9, it significantly rose in a steep curve. The subgroup analysis showed that male, younger or exercise were more likely to develop CKD. Conclusion Combined air pollution score, AQI, and PCA score were associated with an increased risk of CKD in an exposure-response relationship. Our current results might also provide evidence for developing environmental protection policies.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was the 12th leading cause of death globally in 2017 with the prevalence of CKD estimated at ~9%. Early detection and intervention for CKD may improve patient outcomes, but standard testing approaches even in developed countries do not facilitate identification of patients at high risk of developing CKD, nor those progressing to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Recent advances in CKD research are moving towards a more personalised approach for CKD. Heritability for CKD ranges from 30% to 75%, yet identified genetic risk factors account for only a small proportion of the inherited contribution to CKD. More in depth analysis of genomic sequencing data in large cohorts is revealing new genetic risk factors for common diagnoses of CKD and providing novel diagnoses for rare forms of CKD. Multi-omic approaches are now being harnessed to improve our understanding of CKD and explain some of the so-called 'missing heritability'. The most common omic analyses employed for CKD are genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics and phenomics. While each of these omics have been reviewed individually, considering integrated multi-omic analysis offers considerable scope to improve our understanding and treatment of CKD. This narrative review summarises current understanding of multi-omic research alongside recent experimental and analytical approaches, discusses current challenges and future perspectives, and offers new insights for CKD.

[PMID: 35462193 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A large body of evidence has linked air pollution and temperature with chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence and hospitalizations. However, most studies have focused on the influence of heat stress on CKD prevalence, and the potential effect modification of temperature on the association between air pollution and CKD has not been well-investigated. In this study, we examined the associations of the whole temperature spectrum and air pollution with CKD-related hospital visits and explored whether temperature modifies the short-term association of air pollution with CKD-related hospital visits. METHODS AND FINDINGS We collected 40 276 CKD-related hospital visits from the first Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and Anhui Provincial Hospital in Hefei, China, during 2015-2019. A two-stage time-series design was conducted to investigate the associations of air pollution and daily mean temperature with CKD-related hospital visits. First, we estimated the associations between air pollution and CKD-related hospital visits as well as temperature and CKD-related hospital visits. Second, we analyzed the associations of air pollution with CKD hospital visits at different temperatures. We found that NO2 exposure and low temperature were associated with an increased risk of CKD-related hospital visits. Low temperature enhanced the association between NO2 exposure and CKD-related hospital visits, with an increase of 4.30% (95% CI: 2.47-5.92%) per 10 μg/m3 increment in NO2 at low temperature. Effect modification of the association between NO2 and the risk of CKD-related hospital visits was stronger at low temperature across the whole population. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that low temperature-related chronic kidney damage should be of immediate public health concern. Impact of NO2 exposure on the risk of CKD-related hospital visits may increase under the low temperature, which suggests the need for NO2 exposure mitigation strategies in the context of climate change and an enhanced understanding of the mechanisms underlying the temperature variance of air pollution effect to help reduce the magnitude of the CKD burden on the healthcare systems.

Abstract
Humans are constantly exposed to exogenous chemicals throughout their life, which can lead to a multitude of negative health impacts. Advanced materials can play a key role in preventing or mitigating these impacts through a wide variety of applications. The tunable properties of hydrogels and hydrogel nanocomposites (e.g., swelling behavior, biocompatibility, stimuli responsiveness, functionality, etc.) have deemed them ideal platforms for removal of environmental contaminants, detoxification, and reduction of body burden from exogenous chemical exposures for prevention of disease initiation, and advanced treatment of chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this review, three main junctures where the use of hydrogel and hydrogel nanocomposite materials can intervene to positively impact human health are highlighted: 1) preventing exposures to environmental contaminants, 2) prophylactic treatments to prevent chronic disease initiation, and 3) treating chronic diseases after they have developed.

[PMID: 35135544 PMCID: PMC8822715 DOI: 10.1186/s12940-021-00827-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ambient fine particulate matter (PM < 2.5 μm, PM2.5) is gaining increasing attention as an environmental risk factor for health. The kidneys are considered a particularly vulnerable target to the toxic effects that PM2.5 exerts. Alteration of kidney function may lead to a disrupted homeostasis, affecting disparate tissues in the body. This review intends to summarize all relevant knowledge published between January 2000 and December 2021 on the effects of ambient PM2.5 and the adverse effects on kidney function in adults (≥ 18 years). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Studies published in peer-reviewed journals, written in English, regarding the effects of PM2.5 on kidney function and the development and/or exacerbation of kidney disease(s) were included. Of the 587 nonduplicate studies evaluated, 40 were included, comprising of studies on healthy or diagnosed with pre-existing disease (sub)populations. Most of the studies were cohort studies (n = 27), followed by 10 cross-sectional, 1 ecological and 2 time-series studies. One longitudinal study was considered intermediate risk of bias, the other included studies were considered low risk of bias. A large portion of the studies (n = 36) showed that PM2.5 exposure worsened kidney outcome(s) investigated; however, some studies show contradictory results. Measurement of the estimated glomerular filtration rate, for instance, was found to be positively associated (n = 8) as well as negatively associated (n = 4) with PM2.5. LIMITATIONS AND CONCLUSION The main limitations of the included studies include residual confounding (e.g., smoking) and lack of individual exposure levels. The majority of included studies focused on specific subpopulations, which may limit generalizability. Evidence of the detrimental effects that ambient PM2.5 may exert on kidney function is emerging. However, further investigations are required to determine how and to what extent air pollution, specifically PM2.5, exerts adverse effects on the kidney and alters its function. REGISTRATION The systematic review protocol was submitted and published by the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; CRD42020175615 ).

Residential greenness and prevalence of chronic kidney disease: Findings from the China National Survey of Chronic Kidney Disease. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 806:150628. [PMID: 34592294 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Green space is associated with many health benefits, but evidence concerning the effects on chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been investigated. Using the nationwide cross-sectional study of 47,204 adults from the China National Survey of Chronic Kidney Disease dataset and residential greenness assessed by the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), this study evaluated the association between residential greenness and CKD prevalence. An interquartile range increase in NDVI1000m (0.26) was associated with decreased odds of CKD for all participants with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73-0.86). Subgroup analyses demonstrated more apparent inverse associations in younger adults <65 years, male participants, people in higher socio-economic status, as well as people with smoking and alcohol drinking habit. In addition, more apparent inverse associations were found in regions with higher fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration levels, with OR of 0.56 (95% CI: 0.49, 0.65) for higher pollution regions, and OR of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.83, 1.09) for lower pollution regions (P for interaction <0.001). The exposure-response curves captured more apparent declines in OR of CKD when in lower NDVI1000m exposure ranges (<0.6), even controlling for the PM2.5 concentration. Our results indicated that residential greenness might be beneficial for the prevention and control of CKD at the population level, suggesting the positive significance of strengthening green space construction, particularly in regions with low greenness.
