Article Abstract
Objectives: For the development of the 2021 global air quality guidelines, the World Health Organization (WHO) commissioned a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to assess the association between exposure to air pollution and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. One of these reviews, which we aim to update, focused on the effects of long-term exposure to PM and PM on all-cause and cause-specific mortality.
Methods: The protocol for this study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023425327). We searched the PubMed and Embase databases for studies published between September 2018 and May 2023. Study-specific effects were pooled using random-effects models.
Results: We included 106 studies in the meta-analysis, 46 studies from the previous review and 60 from this update. All exposure-outcome pairs analysed showed positive and significant associations, except for PM and cerebrovascular mortality. The certainty of the evidence was rated as high for the majority of exposure-outcome pairs.
Conclusion: We included a large number of new cohorts, and provided new concentration-response functions that will inform WHO advice on the use of this information for air pollution health risk assessments.

Transplantation of Autologous Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis: A Real-World Evidence Study in a Population-Based Cohort.
Gut Liver

Background/aims: Despite medical advances in recent decades, the mortality rate of advanced liver cirrhosis remains high. Although liver transplantation remains the most effective treatment, candidate selection is limited by donor availability and alcohol abstinence requirements. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) transplantation has shown promise for the treatment of advanced cirrhosis.

To expand the application scope of carbon steel, imparting superhydrophobicity to its surface offers an effective strategy to overcome its inherently poor corrosion resistance. However, in marine environments, conventional superhydrophobic coatings often suffer from limited mechanical durability and inadequate long-term corrosion protection. In this study, a durable superhydrophobic bilayer coating composed of PDMS-MWCNTs (top layer) and PDMS (bottom layer) was developed to address these challenges.

Department of Biostatistics, Brown University School of Public Health, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.
Background: Opioid exposure during cancer therapy may increase long-term unsafe opioid prescribing. This study sought to determine the rates of coprescription of benzodiazepine and opioid medications and new persistent opioid use after surgical treatment of early-stage cancer.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among a US veteran population via the Veterans Affairs Corporate Data Warehouse database.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of prenatal fear stress on placental amino acid transport and emotion and cognition development in offspring rats.
Methods: Thirty pregnant Wistar rats were randomized equally into control and fear stress (induced using an observational foot shock model) groups. In each group, placental and serum samples were collected from 6 dams on gestational day 20, and the remaining rats delivered naturally and the offspring rats were raised under the same conditions until 8 weeks of age.
Live zoster vaccination and hepatobiliary risk reduction: a nationwide South Korean study.
Korean J Intern Med

Division of Gastroenterology, ChungAng University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: Herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination is primarily administered to prevent shingles, yet its systemic immunomodulatory effects may offer protection against other organ-related diseases, including hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. Therefore, this emulated target trial aimed to evaluate whether live HZ vaccination reduces the long-term risk of hepatobiliary diseases in older adults.
Methods: We conducted a nationwide, population-based cohort study in South Korea (n = 2,207,784 individuals aged ≥ 50 years) from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021, with follow-up until January 31, 2024.
