“…Of the 33 reviews included, 20 were classified as high quality and very high quality. Among these, 10 reviews focused on green and blue spaces [ 44 – 49 , 51 , 52 ], 5 on proximity to major roads or high-traffic roads [ 10 , 35 , 40 , 41 , 63 ], 5 on proximity to industry [ 56 , 58 – 61 ], 3 on walkability [ 41 , 44 , 51 ], and 2 reviews each focused on access to infrastructure providing unhealthy food [ 41 , 51 ] and facilities for physical and leisure activities [ 44 , 51 ]. There was only one high-quality review on proximity to landfills [ 57 ].…”

“…Two very high-quality meta-analyses reported increased risks of both mortality and morbidity of leukemia among residents living near petrochemical industrial complexes (PICs), which indicates strong evidence. Boonhat and Lin [ 56 ] found that higher RRs of leukemia incidence existed with follow-up periods of ≥ 10 years. In addition, Jephcote et al [ 60 ] reported inconsistent findings for three NCD outcomes: Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) (RR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.81–1.30), non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) (RR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.97–1.17), and multiple myeloma (MM) (RR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.83–1.63).…”

“…Fourteen of the 33 systematic reviews focused on the associations between NCDs and proximity to major roads [10,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], 11 on green space [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54], 4 on walkability [41,43,44,51], 4 on accessibility to infrastructure providing unhealthy food [41,43,51,55], 6 on proximity to industry [56][57][58][59][60][61], 3 on facilities for physical activity or recreation [43,44,51], and 2 on proximity to landfills [57,62]. Most reviews included studies that measured multiple neighborhood risk factors and NCD outcomes (Additional file 1: Table S5).…”

“…In addition, residential proximity to landfills is associated with CVD, respiratory diseases, breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, and NHL. The pathways may be related to ambient air toxins emitted from industrial sites (e.g., 1,3-butadiene, benzene, and aromatic hydrocarbons) and major roads (e.g., PM 2.5 , NO 2 /NO x , and O 3 ), which are mutagenic, exhibit carcinogenic properties, and increase the risk of diseases, thereby affecting human health [ 34 , 56 , 60 ]. The release of hazardous chemicals through leachates from landfills, such as organic chlorinated compounds, heavy metals, and petrochemicals, also has grievous consequences for the surrounding environment and human life [ 57 , 61 , 65 ].…”

Background With rapid urbanization, the urban environment, especially the neighborhood environment, has received increasing global attention. However, a comprehensive overview of the association between neighborhood risk factors and human health remains unclear due to the large number of neighborhood risk factor–human health outcome pairs. Method On the basis of a whole year of panel discussions, we first obtained a list of 5 neighborhood domains, containing 33 uniformly defined neighborhood risk factors. We only focused on neighborhood infrastructure-related risk factors with the potential for spatial interventions through urban design tools. Subsequently, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic meta-review of 17 infrastructure-related risk factors of the 33 neighborhood risk factors (e.g., green and blue spaces, proximity to major roads, and proximity to landfills) was conducted using four databases, Web of Science, PubMed, OVID, and Cochrane Library, from January 2000 to May 2021, and corresponding evidence for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) was synthesized. The review quality was assessed according to the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) standard. Results Thirty-three moderate-and high-quality reviews were included in the analysis. Thirteen major NCD outcomes were found to be associated with neighborhood infrastructure-related risk factors. Green and blue spaces or walkability had protective effects on human health. In contrast, proximity to major roads, industry, and landfills posed serious threats to human health. Inconsistent results were obtained for four neighborhood risk factors: facilities for physical and leisure activities, accessibility to infrastructure providing unhealthy food, proximity to industry, and proximity to major roads. Conclusions This meta-review presents a comprehensive overview of the effects of neighborhood infrastructure-related risk factors on NCDs. Findings on the risk factors with strong evidence can help improve healthy city guidelines and promote urban sustainability. In addition, the unknown or uncertain association between many neighborhood risk factors and certain types of NCDs requires further research.

Technologies for oil and gas production and transportation of hydrocarbons pose a potential threat to the environment and human health. The aim of this work is to consider the consequences caused by the proximity of oil fields on the health of the population living nearby using the north of the Irkutsk Region as an example. The incidence of the population was analyzed for the Katanga and Ust-Kut oilfield areas of Irkutsk Region based on statistical information from the annual reports of the Ministry of Health of the Irkutsk Region for the period 2015-2019. We analyzed information on general morbidity, eye diseases, diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and malignant neoplasms as well as perinatal and infant mortality and stillbirth. The results obtained indicate the negative impact of oil fields on the health of the population in the immediate vicinity. It is shown that the Katanga Municipality, where the oil field is practically the only type of economic activity, is leading in all the considered indicators of the population morbidity, as well as in perinatal and infant mortality, and stillbirths. It is noted that babies are the most vulnerable group, the infant mortality rate in the area adjacent to the oil field is more than 2 times higher than in the region as a whole, and the stillbirth rate is almost 6 times higher than the corresponding indicators for the region. The obtained data are interpreted by the authors as preliminary and requiring additional research.

Sterile Diet Causes Gut Microbiome Collapse of Cancer Patients Post Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, But Normal Diet Recovers Them

Though sterile diet, post‐transplantation surgery is a clinical strategy for patient care to prevent the infiltration of gut pathogens, less is known about its effects on the gut microbiome. Here, the gut microbiome dynamics of leukemia patients following a 120‐day “sterile‐normal” diet strategy posthematopoietic cell transplantation are examined. In contrast to the traditional idea, a sterile diet leads to the lowest gut microbiota diversity (p < 0.05) and short‐chain fatty acids, promoted the proliferation of potential pathogens such as Streptococcus (up by 16.93%) and Lactobacillus (up by 40.30%), and 43.32% reduction in nodes and an 85.33% reduction in edges within the microbial interaction's network. Interestingly, a normal diet allows the gut microbiome recovery and significantly promotes the abundance of beneficial bacteria. These results indicate that a sterile diet leads to a collapse of the patient's gut microbiome and promoted the proliferation of potential pathogens. This assay is a starting point for a more sophisticated assessment of the effects of a sterile diet. The work also suggests a basic principle for the re‐establishment of microbial equilibrium that supplementation of microbial taxa may be the key to the restoration of the degraded ecosystem.
