    Abstract Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder worldwide and a leading cause of liver-related mortality. Prior studies have linked per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure to liver dysfunction and alterations in metabolic pathways, but the extent of a PFAS-NAFLD relationship is unclear. Thus, the aim of the current study was to examine whether there were associations between PFAS exposures and NAFLD in the US adult population over a 16-year period.
    Methods: Data from 10,234 persons who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2003 and 2018 were analyzed. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using multivariable logistic regression for the associations between PFAS and NAFLD, defined by the Hepatic Steatosis Index (NAFLD-HSI), the Fatty Liver Index (NAFLD-FLI), and by Transient Elastography with Controlled Attenuation Parameter (NAFLD-TE-CAP).
    Results: Overall, there was a significant inverse association between total PFAS and NAFLD-HSI (
    Conclusions: The current study found no evidence of a positive association between the most common PFAS and NAFLD in the US population.

    Abstract Carbon capture from flue gas by adsorption processes requires a suitable isotherm model for use in process simulators. Comparative physical adsorption isotherm models are here tested on an adsorption equilibrium loading data set for Zeolite 13X (Z13X) between 298 and 348 K. Dry flue gas mixture adsorption was found to involve enhanced adsorption of N2 by up to 85% relative to levels of N2 mixture adsorption predicted with pure species parameters. This relative N2 deviation was found strongly dependent upon the amount of adsorbed CO2 and suggested to be caused by optimization of molecular quadrupole interactions in the adsorbate layer. A supplemental isotherm expression dependent upon mixture fitting parameters characterized the phenomenon. Prediction of wet flue gas mixture adsorption on Z13X was tested with different numbers of adsorption sites in the α-cavity and logistic formulations to exclude CO2 and N2 from hydrophilic adsorption sites but without success. Shielding the affinity of Z13X toward coadsorbates using the moisture content in the gas mixture improved regression residuals. This method of sticking parameter adjustment described the influence of adsorbed H2O hydrogen-bonded clusters on CO2 and N2 and may provide a path to humid mixture adsorption prediction through studies of pure H2O in porous materials.

    Abstract Previous analyses within the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) II and III cycles suggested an association between blood lead levels (BLLs) and lung cancer mortality, although the evidence was limited by small case numbers. To clarify this relationship, we conducted updated analyses of 4,182 and 15,629 participants in NHANES II and III, respectively, (extending follow-up 20 and 8 years) aged ≥20 with BLL measurements and mortality follow-up through 2014. We fit multivariable Cox models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) relating BLLs and lung cancer with adjustment for smoking and other factors. We did not observe an overall association between BLLs and lung cancer after adjustment for smoking (both surveys) and serum cotinine and environmental tobacco smoke exposure (NHANES III), although suggestive associations were observed among women (NHANES II: HR 2.7, 95% CI 0.7, 10.0 for ≥20.0 µg/dl vs. <10.0 µg/dl, P

    Abstract Purpose: There is increasing evidence that coffee consumption is related to reduced risks for some cancers, but the evidence for renal cancer is inconclusive. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to summarize the cohort evidence of this relationship.
    Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed and Embase through February 2021. Meta-analyses using a random effects model were conducted for reported relative risk estimates (RRs) relating coffee intake and renal cancer incidence or mortality. We also performed a two-stage random effects exposure-response meta-analysis. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed.
    Results: In a meta-analysis of the ten identified cohort studies, we found a summary RR of 0.88 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78-0.99] relating the highest vs. the lowest category of coffee intake and renal cancer, with no significant between-study heterogeneity observed (I
    Conclusions: Our findings from this meta-analysis of the published cohort evidence are suggestive of an inverse association between coffee consumption and renal cancer risk.

    Abstract Researchers are often interested in understanding the disease subtype heterogeneity by testing whether a risk exposure has the same level of effect on different disease subtypes. The polytomous logistic regression (PLR) model provides a flexible tool for such an evaluation. Disease subtype heterogeneity can also be investigated with a case-only study that uses a case-case comparison procedure to directly assess the difference between risk effects on two disease subtypes. Motivated by a large consortium project on the genetic basis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes, we develop PolyGIM, a procedure to fit the PLR model by integrating individual-level data with summary data extracted from multiple studies under different designs. The summary data consist of coefficient estimates from working logistic regression models established by external studies. Examples of the working model include the case-case comparison model and the case-control comparison model, which compares the control group with a subtype group or a broad disease group formed by merging several subtypes. PolyGIM efficiently evaluates risk effects and provides a powerful test for disease subtype heterogeneity in situations when only summary data, instead of individual-level data, is available from external studies due to various informatics and privacy constraints. We investigate the theoretic properties of PolyGIM and use simulation studies to demonstrate its advantages. Using data from eight genome-wide association studies within the NHL consortium, we apply it to study the effect of the polygenic risk score defined by a lymphoid malignancy on the risks of four NHL subtypes. These results show that PolyGIM can be a valuable tool for pooling data from multiple sources for a more coherent evaluation of disease subtype heterogeneity.

    Abstract Objectives: Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among active duty US military servicemen. Occupational risk factors may play a role in TGCT aetiology, although the evidence is inconclusive. The objective of our study was to investigate associations between military occupations and TGCT risk among US Air Force (USAF) servicemen.
    Methods: This nested case-control study among active duty USAF servicemen obtained information on military occupations for 530 histologically confirmed TGCT cases diagnosed during 1990-2018 and 530 individually matched controls. We determined military occupations using Air Force Specialty Codes ascertained at two time points: at case diagnosis and at a time point on average 6 years earlier. We computed adjusted ORs and 95% CIs from conditional logistic regression models to evaluate associations between occupations and TGCT risk.
    Results: The mean age at TGCT diagnosis was 30 years. Increased TGCT risk was observed for pilots (OR=2.84, 95% CI: 1.20-6.74) and servicemen with aircraft maintenance jobs (OR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.03-3.31) who held those jobs at both time points. Fighter pilots (n=18) and servicemen with firefighting jobs (n=18) at the time of case diagnosis had suggestively elevated TGCT odds (OR=2.73, 95% CI: 0.96-7.72 and OR=1.94, 95% CI: 0.72-5.20, respectively).
    Conclusions: In this matched, nested case-control study of young active duty USAF servicemen, we found that pilots and men with aircraft maintenance jobs had elevated TGCT risk. Further research is needed to elucidate specific occupational exposures underlying these associations.

    Abstract The rising concentration of CO₂, emitted into the atmosphere from power plant flue gas, is a major contributor to global warming. Silica gel is an important adsorbent to dry wet flue gas prior to sending the dried gas (CO₂/N₂ mixture) for carbon capture. In the present work, a comprehensive experimental and simulation study is undertaken to establish the adsorption and diffusion of N₂ and CO₂ and their mixture on silica gel at pressures and temperatures relevant to vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) processes. The adsorption equilibrium of pure N₂ and CO₂ is captured well by the single component Langmuir isotherm model. Carefully designed controlled experiments are conducted to show that the transport mechanism for the adsorption of pure N₂ in silica gel pores is governed by Knudsen flow, while for CO₂, it is a combination of Knudsen and surface flow. Binary mixture experiments are performed to confirm the mixture equilibrium and kinetic models necessary to simulate the dry product end of a column in a VSA process for drying wet flue gas. For binary mixture equilibrium of these gases, there is no effect of competition from the other gas present in the mixture, implying that they exhibit noncompetitive adsorption on silica gel. Transport of CO₂/N₂ mixture in silica gel pores is well captured by the mechanism established from the single component study.
