    Амьсгалын замын цочмог хамшинжийг үүсгэгч коронавирусээр (SARS-CoV-2) үүсгэгдсэн КОВИД-19 өвчний (COVID-19) халдварын цар тахал нь Хятадын Хубей мужийн Ухань хотод 2019 оны 12 сард анх дэгдсэн. SARS-CoV-2 нь Betacoronavirus-ийн бүлэгт хамаарагддаг бөгөөд генийн болон фенотипийн бүтцээрээ SARSCoV-79.5% гомологи, MERS-CoV-50% гомологи буюу ижил байна. 2019 оны сүүлээс КОВИД-19 өвчний халдварын тархалт дэлхий даяар хяналтгүй тархсан ба энэ нь вирусын шинэ мутаци үүсэх цаашлаад илүү хор хөнөөлтэй болон эмчилгээнд тэсвэртэй вирусын омог үүсэх нөхцөлийг бүрдүүлж байна. Вирусын омог тогтвортойгоор мутацид орсноор дэлхий даяар вирусын шинэ мутацийн омог тархаж эхэлсэн байна. SARS-CoV-2-ийн шинэ хувилбар нь бусад вирусын хувилбарыг бодвол хурдан, хялбар тархаж байгаа нь уг өвчний халдварын тохиолдлыг ихсэхэд хүргэж байна. SARS-CoV-2 олон тооны хувилбарууд дэлхийн дахинд тархсаар байна. 2020 оны намар Англи улсад B.1.1.7 гэх шинэ мутаци бүхий том хувилбар гарч ирэв. Энэ шинэ хувилбар нь дэлхийн маш олон оронд илэрсэн. Өмнөд Африкт B.1.351 гэж нэрлэгдэх өөр нэг хувилбар гарсан бөгөөд энэ нь B.1.1.7 хамааралгүйгээр үүссэн байна. Энэ хувилбар нь зарим B.1.1.7 агуулсан мутацид оролцдог. Бразилд гарсан Р.1 хувилбар нь 17 төрлийн мутаци агуулдаг түүнчлэн сэртэнт уураг нь рецептор холбогдох 3 домэйнийг агуулдаг.

    Portable HEPA filter air cleaner use during pregnancy and children's behavior problem scores: a secondary analysis of the UGAAR randomized controlled trial
    BACKGROUND: Developmental exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution may impair children's behaviors. Our objectives were to quantify the impact of reducing indoor PM using portable HEPA filter air cleaners during pregnancy on behavioral problems in children and to assess associations between indoor fine PM (PM2.5) concentrations during pregnancy and children's behavior. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of a single-blind parallel-group randomized controlled trial in which we randomly assigned 540 non-smoking pregnant women to receive 1 or 2 HEPA filter air cleaners or no air cleaners. We administered the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC-3) to caregivers when children were a mean age of 23 months, and again at a mean age of 48 months. Primary outcomes were the four BASC-3 composite scales: externalizing problems, internalizing problems, adaptive skills, and the behavioral symptoms index. We imputed missing data using multiple imputation with chained equations. The primary analysis was by intention-to-treat. In a secondary analysis, we evaluated associations between BASC-3 composite indices and modeled trimester-specific PM2.5 concentrations inside residences. RESULTS: We enrolled participants at a median of 11 weeks gestation. After excluding miscarriages, still births and neonatal deaths, our analysis included 478 children (233 control and 245 intervention). We observed no differences in the mean BASC-3 scores between treatment groups. An interquartile increase (20.1 µg/m3) in first trimester PM2.5 concentration was associated with higher externalizing problem scores (2.4 units, 95% CI: 0.7, 4.1), higher internalizing problem scores (2.4 units, 95% CI: 0.7, 4.0), lower adaptive skills scores (-1.5 units, 95% CI: -3.0, 0.0), and higher behavior symptoms index scores (2.3 units, 95% CI: 0.7, 3.9). Third trimester PM2.5 concentrations were also associated with some behavioral indices at age 4, but effect estimates were smaller. No significant associations were observed with PM2.5 concentrations during the second trimester or for any of the BASC indices when children were 2 years old. CONCLUSION: We found no benefit of reducing indoor particulate air pollution during pregnancy on parent-reported behaviors in children. Associations between indoor PM2.5 concentrations in the first trimester and behavioral scores among 4-year old children suggest that it may be necessary to intervene early in pregnancy to protect children, but these exploratory findings should be interpreted cautiously.

    Who benefits most from a prenatal HEPA filter air cleaner intervention on childhood cognitive development? The UGAAR randomized controlled trial
    BACKGROUND: Air pollution exposure during pregnancy affects children's brain function. Maternal stress and nutrition, socioeconomic status, and the child's sex may modify this relationship. OBJECTIVE: To identify characteristics of children with the largest increases in full-scale IQ (FSIQ) after their mothers used HEPA filter air cleaners during pregnancy. METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial we randomly assigned women to receive 1-2 air cleaners or no air cleaners during pregnancy. We analyzed maternal hair samples for cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). When the children were 48 months old, we measured FSIQ with the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. We evaluated ten potential modifiers of the intervention-FSIQ relationship using interaction terms in separate regression models. To account for correlations between modifiers, we also used a single regression model containing main effects and intervention x modifier terms for all potential modifiers. RESULTS: Among 242 mother-child dyads with complete data, the intervention was associated with a 2.3-point increase (95% CI: -1.5, 6.0 points) in mean FSIQ. The intervention improved mean FSIQ among children of mothers in the bottom (5.4 points; 95% CI: -0.8, 11.5) and top (6.1 points; 95% CI: 0.5, 11.8) cortisol tertiles, but not among those whose mothers were in the middle tertile. The largest between-group difference in the intervention's effect was a 7.5-point (95% CI: -0.7, 15.7) larger increase in mean FSIQ among children whose mothers did not take vitamins than among children whose mothers did take vitamins (interaction p-value = 0.07). We also observed larger benefits among children whose mothers did not complete university, and those with lower hair DHEA concentrations, hair cortisol concentrations outside the middle tertile, or more perceived stress. CONCLUSION: The benefits of reducing air pollution during pregnancy on brain development may be greatest for children whose mothers who do not take vitamins, experience more stress, or have less education.

    Portable HEPA filter air cleaner use during pregnancy and children's autistic behaviors at four years of age: The UGAAR randomized controlled trial
    BACKGROUND: Developmental exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) may increase children's risk of developing autism spectrum disorder. We quantified the impact of reducing PM exposure during pregnancy on the development of autistic traits in children. We also assessed associations between indoor fine PM (PM2.5) concentrations during pregnancy and autistic traits. METHODS: In this parallel-group randomized controlled trial, we randomized 540 non-smoking pregnant women to receive HEPA filter air cleaners or to a control group, which did not receive air cleaners. We administered the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) to caregivers when children were a median of 48 months (range: 48 to 51 months). Our primary outcome was the SRS-2 total T-score. We imputed missing data using multiple imputation with chained equations and our primary analysis was by intention to treat. In secondary analyses, we estimated associations between full pregnancy and trimester-specific indoor PM2.5 concentrations and T-scores. RESULTS: We enrolled participants at a median of 11 weeks' gestation. Our analysis included 478 children (233 control, 245 intervention). The intervention reduced average indoor PM2.5 concentrations by 29 % (95 % CI: 21, 37 %). The mean SRS-2 total T-score was 0.5 units lower (95 % CI: -2.5, 1.5) among intervention participants, with evidence of larger benefits for children at the high end of the T-score distribution. An interquartile range (9.6 µg/m3) increase in indoor PM2.5 during pregnancy was associated with 1.8-unit (95 % CI: 0.3, 3.2) increase in mean SRS-2 total T-score. Effect estimates for PM2.5 concentrations by trimester were smaller and confidence intervals spanned no effect. CONCLUSION: Reducing indoor PM during pregnancy had little impact on mean autism-related behavior scores in children. However, indoor PM2.5 concentrations during pregnancy were associated with higher scores. Exposure to particulate matter during pregnancy may influence the development of autistic traits in childhood. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01741051.

    IMPORTANCE: Gestational exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution may increase the risk of childhood obesity, but the impact of reducing air pollution during pregnancy on obesity-related outcomes in childhood has not been examined. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of reducing gestational PM exposure on body mass index (BMI) at two years of age. METHODS: In this single-blind, parallel group randomized controlled trial in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia, we randomly assigned 540 pregnant women to receive 1-2 portable high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter air cleaners or no air cleaners. We measured height and weight when children were a mean age of 23.8 months. Our primary outcome was age- and sex-specific BMI z-score based on the World Health Organization 2007 Growth Charts. Secondary outcomes included age- and sex-specific weight z score, overweight/obesity (defined as BMI z-score > 2.00), and catch-up growth (defined using various cut-offs to identify children with relatively low birth weight for sex and gestational age and relatively high age- and sex-specific weight in childhood). We imputed missing outcome data using multiple imputation with chained equations and our primary analysis was by intention to treat (ITT). We estimated intervention effects on continuous and binary outcomes using linear and logistic regression, respectively. RESULTS: After excluding known miscarriages, still births, and neonatal deaths our analysis included 480 children (235 control and 245 intervention). The mean (SD) child BMI z score was 0.79 (1.0); 9.8% of children were overweight or obese. The mean BMI z score of children who were randomly assigned to the intervention group was 0.16-units lower (95% CI: -0.35, 0.04) than children in the control group. The intervention was also associated with reductions in overweight/obesity (odds ratio = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.31, 1.12). Catch-up growth occurred less frequently in the intervention group, but effect estimates varied depending on the specific definition of catch-up growth and confidence intervals consistently spanned no effect. CONCLUSIONS: We found that the use of portable air cleaners during pregnancy was associated with improvements in obesity-related outcomes, although some effect estimates lacked precision. Reducing PM exposure during pregnancy may lead to improvements in cardiometabolic health in childhood.

    BACKGROUND: Developmental exposure to air pollution is associated with diminished cognitive abilities in observational studies, but no randomized controlled trial has examined the effect of reducing air pollution on cognition in children. OBJECTIVES: We sought to quantify the impact of reducing exposure to particulate matter (PM) during pregnancy on children's cognitive performance at 4 y of age. METHODS: In this single-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, we randomly assigned 540 nonsmoking pregnant women (268 intervention and 272 control) to receive 1-2 portable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter air cleaners or no air cleaners. The air cleaners were used from a median of 11 wk gestation until the end of pregnancy. The primary outcome was full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) assessed using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV) when children were a median of 48 months old. We imputed missing outcome data using multiple imputation with chained equations, and our primary analysis was by intention to treat. RESULTS: After excluding known miscarriages, stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and medical conditions that impeded cognitive testing and imputation, 475 (233 control and 242 intervention) children were included in our analyses. In an unadjusted analysis, the mean FSIQ of children who were randomly assigned to the intervention group was 2.5 points [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.4, 5.4 points] higher than that of children in the control group. After adjustment to account for an imbalance in preterm birth between groups, the effect estimate increased to 2.8 points (95% CI: -0.1, 5.7). CONCLUSIONS: Reducing PM air pollution during pregnancy may improve cognitive performance in childhood. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP10302.

    Prenatal exposure to indoor PM2.5 and children's cognitive performance at 4 years of age: an observational analysis from the UGAAR randomized controlled trial
    Outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations during pregnancy are linked to reduced cognitive performance in children. We previously reported that portable HEPA filter air cleaners use during pregnancy improved children's mean full-scale IQ (FSIQ), but no previous studies have evaluated the relationship between indoor PM2.5 during pregnancy and FSIQ in childhood. We conducted an observational analysis using data from the Ulaanbaatar Gestation and Air Pollution Research (UGAAR) randomized controlled trial. Using a previously developed model of weekly indoor PM2.5 concentrations, we estimated the average concentrations in participants' homes over the full pregnancy and in each trimester. When the children were four years old, we measured FSIQ using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-IV). We used multiple linear regression to assess the adjusted relationships between interquartile range (IQR) contrasts in indoor PM2.5 during pregnancy and FSIQ among 475 mother-child dyads. An 8.8 μg/m3 increase in indoor PM2.5 concentration over the full pregnancy was associated with a reduction of 1.4 points (95% CI: -3.4, 0.6) in mean FSIQ. The strongest association between PM2.5 concentrations and FSIQ was in the first trimester, when a 19.1 μg/m3 contrast was associated with a 2.8-point reduction (95% CI: -5.7, 0.2) in mean FSIQ. Indoor PM2.5, particularly during early pregnancy, may impair brain development, leading to lower mean FSIQ scores in four-year old children. These results, combined with our previous analysis of HEPA filter air cleaners, indicate that reducing PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy has beneficial effects on children's cognitive performance.
