Macrophage MAPK7/AhR/STAT3 Signaling Mediates Mitochondrial ROS Burst and Enterohepatic Inflammatory Responses Induced by Deoxynivalenol Relevant to Low-Dose Exposure in Children.
Environ Sci Technol
October 2024
Department of Toxicology, School of Public Health, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan,Shandong 250012, China.
Article Synopsis
- Deoxynivalenol (DON) exposure can lead to endoplasmic reticulum stress, increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), and changes in macrophage behavior, particularly important for children's health.
- In mice modeling human ages 7-12, low-level DON exposure (0.5 μg/kg bw/day) caused significant liver and gut inflammation after 6 weeks.
- The study identifies a mechanism involving the interaction of proteins MAPK7 and AhR, which drives inflammatory reactions and highlights the potential health risks of DON exposure in children.
Sources and Specified Health Risks of 12 PM-Bound Metals in a Typical Air-Polluted City in Northern China during the 13th Five-Year Plan.

August 2024
Department of Labor Hygiene and Environmental Hygiene, School of Public Health, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan 250012, China.
Article Synopsis
- A continuous study of airborne particulate matter (PM), including 12 metal elements, was conducted in Jinan, China, from 2016 to 2020 to understand air quality and its health impacts.
- The analysis revealed a general decrease in metal concentrations, with winter exhibiting the highest levels of pollutants, and identified four primary sources of PM-bound metals: dust (54.3%), coal and industry (22.3%), vehicles (19.3%), and domestic sources (4.1%).
- Health risk assessments indicated that the cancer risk from certain metals, particularly chromium (Cr) and arsenic (As), exceeded acceptable levels; however, emission reduction measures helped lower these health risks over the study period.
Acute Effects of Low Temperatures and Cold Waves on Elderly Infectious Pneumonia Mortality - Jinan City, Shandong Province, China, 2014-2022.

February 2024
China CDC Key Laboratory of Environment and Population Health, National Institute of Environmental Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China.
What Is Already Known About This Topic?: The mortality rate due to pneumonia varies depending on the infectious agents present in a low- temperature environment.
What Is Added By This Report?: This study aimed to examine the relationship between low temperatures and cold waves and the risk of mortality from infectious pneumonia in the elderly. The findings indicate a significant increase in the risk of infectious pneumonia, specifically bacterial pneumonia, during periods of low temperatures and cold waves.
The Combined Effects of High Temperatures and Ozone Pollution on Medical Emergency Calls - Jinan City, Shandong Province, China, 2013-2019.
China CDC Wkly
January 2024
Department of Scientific Research and Education, Jinan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Jinan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention Affiliated to Shandong University, Jinan City, Shandong Province, China.
What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Studies have extensively documented the separate and independent effects of extreme temperature and ozone on morbidity and mortality associated with respiratory and circulatory diseases.
What Is Added By This Report?: The study revealed a significant association between elevated temperature, ozone pollution, and the combined effect of high temperature and ozone pollution with an increased risk of all-cause medical emergency calls (MECs) and MECs specifically related to neurological diseases.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: Interventional measures should be implemented to mitigate exposure to high temperatures and ozone levels.
Quantifying the effects of cold waves on carbon monoxide poisoning: A time-stratified case-crossover study in Jinan, China.

Centre for Health Management and Policy Research, School of Public Health, Cheeloo. College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Article Synopsis
- * Using emergency call data from 2013 to 2020, researchers applied statistical methods to assess the acute impact of cold wave days on CO poisoning, revealing that lower temperature thresholds significantly elevate the risk.
- * The findings indicate a clear link between cold waves and increased CO poisoning risk, emphasizing the need for timely cold wave warnings and protective measures to safeguard public health.
An urgent health problem of indoor air pollution: results from a 15-years carbon monoxide poisoning observed study in Jinan City.

Department of Research and Education, Jinan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Jinan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention Affiliated to Shandong University, 2 Weiliu Road, Huaiyin District, 250021, Jinan, China.
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a public health concern in developing countries especially in China with a high disease burden. We aimed to focus on non-occupational CO poisoning caused by household coal heating secular trends based on registry data in Jinan, China, and we aim to provide further evidence and suggestions for public health policy. We analyzed the occurrence and development trend and assess the spatial-temporal epidemiological characteristics of non-occupational CO poisoning caused by household coal heating in Jinan between 2007 and 2021.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of extreme cold weather on circulatory disease mortality among older adults in Jinan, analyzing data from 2011 to 2020 to identify vulnerable populations.
- Using a case-crossover method, results showed a significant increase in circulatory disease deaths, particularly during defined cold days and cold waves, with older adults totaling 92,119 deaths in the study period.
- Findings revealed that extreme cold weather has a more pronounced effect on women and older age groups, emphasizing the need for targeted public health policies to address this issue.
