    Abstract Social distancing and ventilation were emphasized broadly to control the ongoing pandemic COVID-19 in confined spaces. Rationales behind these two strategies, however, were debated, especially regarding quantitative recommendations. The answers to "what is the safe distance" and "what is sufficient ventilation" are crucial to the upcoming reopening of businesses and schools, but rely on many medical, biological, and engineering factors. This study introduced two new indices into the popular while perfect-mixing-based Wells-Riley model for predicting airborne virus related infection probability - the underlying reasons for keeping adequate social distance and space ventilation. The distance index

    Abstract As the primary energy source for a plant host and microbe to sustain life, sugar is generally exported by Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) to the host extracellular spaces or the apoplast. There, the host and microbes compete for hexose, sucrose, and other important nutrients. The host and microbial monosaccharide transporters (MSTs) and sucrose transporters (SUTs) play a key role in the "evolutionary arms race". The result of this competition hinges on the proportion of sugar distribution between the host and microbes. In some plants (such as

    Abstract Exposure of phthalate has adverse effects on child health. Currently, the field measurement on PAEs concentration in children’s bedrooms were limited, and the test of PAEs is laborious. Based on the data of home detection in 454 residences from March 2013 to December 2014 in Shanghai, the association of PAEs in children's bedroom and building characteristics, residents’ lifestyle and indoor environment characterization were built by Spearman correlation. According to the Spearman correlation coefficient method, the concentration of PAEs, such as residential area was significantly correlated with DMP, BBP and DiBP in children’s bedroom (sig <0.05, sig <0.01, sig <0.01; r> 0), and the use of chemicals was significantly associated with DEP and DiBP in children’s bedroom (sig <0.05, sig <0.05; r> 0). Then a gradient-boosting decision tree model with higher prediction accuracy is established. The influencing factors of the studied PAEs were determined by comprehensive consideration of the current study and literature review. 11 influencing factors of PAEs concentrations from three aspects were finally established in this study. The training model of GBDT has a reasonable accuracy( R2>0.9). This paper provides a reference for the prediction of PAEs concentration in the residential bedroom and the influence degree of influencing factors.

    Abstract Household dust mites (HDMs) are the important allergens causing allergic diseases in children. A predictive model can help us understand the concentration of HDMs in different areas of China to better prevent and control this kind of allergen. This study used 454 household inspection samples in childrens’ room obtained from China, Children, Homes, Health (CCHH) phase 2 study, conducted during 2013-2014. Spearman correlation and multiple logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors of HDMs concentrations, by comprehensively considering residents’ lifestyle, building characteristics, environmental exposure, especially dampness-related exposures. This study used the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree(GBDT) algorithm to build the prediction model. The data from CCHH were used to established the prediction model. It was found that there were some differences in the influencing factors between two types of HDMs. The concentration of HDMs were found a significant correlation (p<0. 05)with the number of indoor moisture indicators. 17 influencing factors of HDMs concentrations from four aspects were finally established in this study. The training model of GBDT has a reasonable accuracy(R2>0. 9). This paper provides a reference for predicting the HDMs concentrations in children's bedrooms and the influence of the influencing factors.

    Abstract Background: Aortic dissection and atherosclerosis are two common pathological conditions affecting the aorta. Aortic biomechanics are believed to be closely associated with the pathological development of these diseases. However, the biomechanical environment that predisposes the aortic wall to these pathological conditions remains unclear.
    Methods: Sixteen ascending aortic specimens were harvested from 16 human subjects and further categorized into three groups according to their disease states: aortic dissection group, aortic dissection with accompanied atherosclerosis group and healthy group. Experimental stress-strain data from biaxial tensile testing were used to fit the anisotropic Mooney-Rivlin model to determine material parameters. Computed tomography images or transesophageal echocardiography images were collected to construct computational models to simulate the stress/strain distributions in aortas at the pre-dissection state. Statistical analyses were performed to identify the biomechanical factors to distinguish three groups of aortic tissues.
    Results: Material parameters of anisotropic Mooney-Rivlin model were fitted with average R
    Conclusion: Changes of stress and strain values during the cardiac cycle are good biomechanical factors for predicting potential aortic dissection and aortic dissection accompanied with atherosclerosis.

    Abstract Background: Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of para-Hisian accessory pathways (APs) can be challenging due to proximity to the conduction system.
    Methods: A total of 30 consecutive patients with para-Hisian AP were enrolled for ablation in three centers, 12 (40%) of whom had previously failed attempted ablation from the inferior vena cava (IVC) approach. Ablation was preferentially performed using a superior approach from the superior vena cava (SVC) in all patients.
    Results: The para-Hisian AP was eliminated from the SVC approach in 28 of 30 (93.3%) patients. In the remaining two patients, additional ablation from IVC was required to successfully eliminate the AP. There were two patients experienced reversible complete atrial-ventricular block and PR prolongation during the first RF application. Long-term freedom from recurrent arrhythmia was achieved in 29 (96.7%) patients over a mean follow-up duration of 15.6 ± 4.6 months.
    Conclusion: Catheter ablation of para-Hisian AP from above using a direct SVC approach is both safe and effective, and should be considered especially in patients who have failed conventional ablation attempts from IVC approach.

    Abstract Background: Several studies have reported that childhood prevalence of eczema has been increasing worldwide. However, none study quantitatively evaluated prevalence trends of eczema among children and adults in the last 30 years in China.
    Methods and findings: Via a systematic review of literature databases in English and Chinese, we summarized all studies reporting eczema prevalences from 1985 to 2015 in China as well as diagramed prevalence and eczematous population trends against year for different age groups. A total of 93 studies and 17 studies (16 for children and one for adults) were selected for qualitative and quantitative synthesis, respectively. Childhood lifetime-ever eczema prevalences ranged from 10.0% to 30.0%. Prevalences among 3-12-year-olds children showed increasing trends in most specific cities, but national lifetime-ever eczema prevalences among 13-14-year-olds children decreased from 10.6% in 2001 to 8.6% in 2009 in mainland China. We estimated that about 1.5 million children aged 13-14-year-olds in 2009 and 15.5 million children aged 3-6-year-olds in 2012 had lifetime-ever eczema in mainland China. Similar studies were too few to ascertain time-trends of eczema prevalence among adults. About 39.4, 20.0, and 11.6 million adults aged 15-86-year-olds in 2010 had contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis in the mainland China, respectively.
    Conclusions: The burden of eczema became heavier in young children, whereas perhaps had been reduced in adolescent in China. More studies for eczema prevalence in adults are warranted.

    Abstract Objective: Phthalate acid esters (PAEs) have been identified to be associated with children's health. Present study was conducted to assess associations between PAEs in household dust and childhood rhinitis.
    Methods: Based on phase II of CCHH study (China, Children, Home, Health) conducted in Shanghai, China, 266 indoor dust samples were collected from participants' families. Concentrations of PAEs in dust samples were measured by chemical treatment and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Information about individuals and residences was surveyed by questionnaires. Logistic regression models were applied to obtain the associations between PAEs and childhood rhinitis.
    Results: Higher concentrations of benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) were found in those families with children who had diagnosed rhinitis. Significantly higher concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and PAEs with high molecular weight (HMW-PAEs) were found in the positive group of lifetime rhinitis. Using the multiple and ordinal logistic regression models adjusted by covariates, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), DEHP, and HMW-PAEs were found to be significantly associated with diagnosed rhinitis. Boys who exposure to higher concentrations of DBP, DEHP, HMW-PAEs, and total PAEs have significant associations with diagnosed rhinitis compared with girls who exposure to lower concentration of PAEs.
    Conclusions: Present observational study indicated that exposure to high concentrations of DBP, DEHP, and HMW-PAEs in house settled dust was a risk factor for rhinitis for children, especially for boys.
