Objective To investigate the correlation and lag effect between atmospheric particulate matter and the risk of hospitalization for chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods The daily hospitalization data for CKD in 9 hospitals in Urumqi from Jan.1,2019,to Dec.31,2020,and the air pollution and meteorological data during the same period were collected.The relationship between PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations and CKD incidence was analyzed after controlling for long-term trends,meteorological factors,and potential confounding factors such as the"day of the week effect"by using the generalized additive model(GAM).The effects of single-day lag of 0-7 d(lag0-lag7)and cumulative lag of 0-7 d(lag01-lag07)were analyzed,and subgroup analyses were conducted for gender,age,and season.On the basis of the single pollutant model,other pollutants were included(at most 2 pollutants were included at a time),and a double pollutant model was constructed to evaluate the stability of the model.Results For every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration,the highest risk of CKD hospitalization occured when lagged alone at lag2(relative risk[RR]=1.014,95％confidence interval[CI]1.006-1.023)and lagged cumulatively at lag04(RR=1.018,95％CI 1.007-1.029).For every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 concentration,the risk of CKD hospitalization was highest when lagged alone at lag0 and lagged cumulatively at lag07(RR=1.012,95％CI 1.007-1.017;RR=1.024,95％CI 1.016-1.032).In gender stratification,for every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration,the cumulative lag at lag04 indicated that males had the highest risk of CKD hospitalization(RR=1.023,95％CI 1.008-1.038);for every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 concentration,the highest risk of CKD hospitalization was observed in males when lagged alone at lag0(RR=1.013,95％CI 1.006-1.020),and in females when lagged alone at lag1(RR=1.013,95％CI 1.006-1.020).In age stratification,for every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration,the risk of CKD hospitalization was highest in people 65 years old with single-day lag at lag3 and cumulative lag at lag04(RR=1.016,95％CI 1.007-1.026;RR=1.022,95％CI 1.010-1.035);for every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 concentration,the cumulative lag at lag07 indicated that individuals aged＜65 years old and ≥65 years old had the highest risk of CKD hospitalization(RR=1.027,95％CI 1.017-1.037;RR=1.015,95％CI 1.001-1.028).In seasonal stratification,for every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration during the cold season,the risk of CKD hospitalization was highest when lagged alone at lag3 and lagged cumulatively at lag07(RR=1.020,95％CI 1.011-1.029;RR=1.025,95％CI 1.011-1.038).For every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 concentration during the cold season,the risk of CKD hospitalization was highest when lagged alone at lag2(RR=1.013,95％CI 1.007-1.019).For every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 concentration during the warm season,the risk of CKD hospitalization was highest when lagged alone at lag7(RR=1.015,95％CI 1.006-1.024).In the dual pollutant model,the effects of PM2.5 adjusting PM10,SO2,O3 and CO,and PM10 adjusting NO2,SO2,O3,and CO on the risk of CKD hospitalization were still significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increase in atmospheric particulate matter concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 can lead to an increased risk of CKD,and there is a lag effect.Men,people under the age of 65 years old,and those in cold seasons(heating periods)are more sensitive to exposure to PM2.5 and PM10.

Objective To investigate the effect of diurnal temperature difference on hospitalization volume of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Urumqi City. Methods The daily hospitalization data for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Urumqi City from 2019-2021, and meteorological and pollutant data for the same period were collected. The relationship between diurnal temperature range and hospitalizations for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was analyzed using a distribution lag non-linear model (DLNM), controlling for the long-term trends, the day-of-week effects and other factors. Results The greater the diurnal temperature range, the longer the lag time, and the higher the risk of hospitalization for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The lag effect increased significantly when the maximum diurnal temperature range reached 21.0°C. The risk effect appeared on the day of exposure and lasted until day 20, with a maximum RR of 1.266 (95% CI: 1.129-1.421) at a lag of 13 days. At very high diurnal temperature range, the risk of hospitalization for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was higher in the cold season than that in the warm season. Results after stratified analysis by sex and age showed that men and people aged ≥65 years were more susceptible to diurnal temperature range. Conclusion Extremely high diurnal temperature range is a potential trigger for hospitalization for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Urumqi. Men and people aged ≥65 years are more vulnerable to the impact of diurnal temperature range. In the cold season, more attention should be paid to protecting vulnerable people from the impact of the extremely high diurnal temperature difference.

To develop a new recombinant hepatitis E vaccine, we used Hansenula polymorpha expression system to express recombinant hepatitis E virus-like particles (HEV VLPs), to construct a recombinant engineered strain HP/HEV2.3. The fermentation conditions and purification process were studied next. The first working seed lots were fermented in liquid culture, and the fermentation products were collected, then crushed, clarified, purified by ultrafiltration, silica gel adsorbed and desorbed, concentrated by ultrafiltration, purified by liquid chromatography and sterilized by filtration. The purity reached 99% with a yield of 33%. Electron microscopy analysis revealed that both the purified recombinant HEV VLPs from HP/HEV2.3 and natural hepatitis E virus particles appear identical of being 32 nm. The resulting DNA sequence obtained from VLPs is identical to the published HEV sequence. The SDS-PAGE analysis has revealed that the protein molecular weight of the HEV VLPs is 56 kDa, and the expression product HEV VLPs were accumulated up to 26% of total cellular protein. The expression level is 1.0 g/L. Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results of the protein and ED₅₀ of the vaccine showed that the HEV VLPs have good antigenicity and immunogenicity. In summary, the recombinant HEV VLPs from Hansenula polymorpha can be used in the manufacture of a new genetically engineered vaccine against hepatitis E.
