Association of individual green space exposure with the incidence of asthma and allergic rhinitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The association between allergic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR), and green space (GS) remains controversial. Our study aimed to summarize and synthesize the association between individual GS exposure and the incidence of asthma/AR. We systematically summarized the qualitative relationship between GS exposure and asthma and AR. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used to estimate the effect of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) on asthma and AR. A total of 21 studies were included for systematic review, and 8 of them underwent meta-analysis. In the meta-analysis of current asthma, the 0?<?radius?≤?100 m group, 100?<?radius?≤?300 m group, and 500?<?radius?≤?1000 m group presented weak negative associations between the NDVI and current asthma. For ever asthma, slight positive associations existed in the 0?<?radius?≤?100 m group and 300?<?radius?≤?500 m group. In addition, the NDVI might slightly reduce the risk of AR in radius of 100 m and 500 m. Our findings suggest that the effects of GS exposure on asthma and AR were not significant. Differences in GS measurements, disease diagnoses and adjusted confounders across studies may have an impact on the results. Subsequent studies should consider potential confounding factors and use more accurate GS exposure measurements to better understand the impact of GS exposure on respiratory disease in the population.

     

The widening urbanization gap between the Three Northeast Provinces and the Yangtze River Delta under China’s economic reform from 1984 to 2014

Urbanization has created a significant gap between the Three Northeast Provinces (TNP) and the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) since China’s reform and opening-up. In this study, we explain this problem by employing an urban expansion index, spatial hierarchical clustering, the Zipf-PLE model, fractal theory, and time-series analysis. Statistical data on the built-up area, population, and gross domestic product were downloaded from the National Bureau of Statistics of China. The results revealed the following. (1) During the stage of the planned economy, as a result of the significant government investment in development, the urban built-up areas in the TNP and the YRD reached 1867 and 757 km², respectively, in 1984. (2) During the stage of the socialist market economy, the urban built-up area of the YRD experienced rapid growth over the 30 years from 1984 to 2014 with a rate of increase of 668.8%, which was higher than that of the TNP (139.9%). In 2014, the urban built-up areas of the TNP and the YRD were 4479 and 5820 km², respectively. (3) Locational advantages had significant effects on urban development after China’s economic reform. The coastal cities of the YRD had higher rates of increase of the built-up areas. By contrast, the border cities of the TNP had lower rates of increase. Finally, this paper finds that the socialist market economy exhibited more efficiency in promoting urban expansion and economic development. The results are significant for generating balanced and sustainable regional development strategies in the future.     

碲化镉量子点(CdTe QDs)对肝细胞的毒性效应及线粒体介导的毒性机制研究

本文探讨了碲化镉量子点(CdTe QDs)对肝细胞的毒性效应及其影响因素,为探索量子点的肝毒性机制提供一定依据。采用人肝癌细胞(Hep G2)和人正常肝细胞(L02)为细胞模型,设置0、25、50和100μmol·L-14个浓度组,采用CCK-8法检测细胞生存率,石墨炉法检测细胞内镉元素含量,采用流式细胞术,装载荧光探针DCFH-DA检测细胞内活性氧水平,采用FITC/PI检测细胞凋亡以及JC-1检测细胞ATP水平。研究结果显示:CdTe QDs诱导2种肝细胞生存率降低,细胞凋亡率升高,细胞对QDs的摄入水平具有时间依赖性,细胞内活性氧水平显著升高,线粒体膜电位降低和ATP含量显著减少,且2种肝细胞比较发现L02细胞损伤程度更为严重。CdTe QDs对2种肝细胞造成损伤,对L02细胞损伤更明显,其原因是L02细胞对CdTe QDs摄取更多,导致进入细胞的QDs引发更为严重的损伤效应。

Prenatal identification of a 45,X/46,Xder(Y) mosaicism and confirmation by high resolution cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization

A 45,X/46,Xder(Y) mosaicism detected prenatally was shown to have a rare Y inversion- duplication or Y/Y translocation which can only be identified by a combination of high resolution cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The present data indicate the usefulness and importance of chromosome-specific probes in the identification and characterization of chromosome rearrangements.
