Associations between air pollution and outpatient visits for allergic rhinitis in Lanzhou, China.

There is emerging evidence indicating that short-term exposure to air pollution is associated with the development and occurrence of allergic rhinitis (AR), but limited studies have been conducted in China, and their results were inconsistent. So, quasi-Poisson time series regressions with distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) were applied to evaluate the lag association between six air pollutants and daily outpatient visits for AR in Lanzhou, China, from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2019. Stratified analyses were further performed by gender, age, and season.

Long noncoding RNA HOXD-AS1 in various cancers: a meta-analysis and TCGA data review.

Unlabelled: HOXD antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA (HOXD-AS1) was reported to be upregulated in various cancers, such as gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and glioma. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis and The Cancer Genome Atlas data review to investigate the clinicopathologic and prognostic value of HOXD-AS1 in patients with malignant tumors. Systematic literatures were searched from PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE database, Ovid, Chinese CNKI, and the Chinese WanFang database.
