This study aimed to investigate the effects of particulate matter (PM) on pulmonary function in schoolchildren, as well as the relationships of these effects with interleukin-8. Morning peak expiratory flow (PEF) was measured daily in 399 children during April-May 2012, and in 384 of these children during March-May 2013. PEF's association with the daily levels of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and PM < 2.5 mm (PM2.5) was estimated using a linear mixed model. Interleukin-8 promoter activity was assessed in THP-G8 cells stimulated by fallen PM collected at Tottori University Hospital during four periods (two in 2012 and two in 2013). An increase of 14.0 mg/m³ in SPM led to PEF changes of -2.16 L/min in 2012 and -0.81 L/min in 2013, respectively. An increment of 10.7 mg/m³ in PM2.5 was associated with PEF changes of -2.58 L/min in 2012 and -0.55 L/min in 2013, respectively. These associations were only significant in 2012. Interleukin-8 promoter activity was significantly higher in both periods of 2012 than in 2013. There was a significant association between pulmonary function in schoolchildren and daily levels of SPM and PM2.5, but this association may differ depending on the PM's ability to elicit interleukin-8 production.
本研究旨在调查颗粒物(PM)对学童肺功能的影响,以及这些影响与白细胞介素-8的关系。2012年4月至5月期间,对399名儿童每日测量晨峰呼气流量(PEF),2013年3月至5月期间,对其中384名儿童进行测量。使用线性混合模型估计PEF与每日悬浮颗粒物(SPM)和直径小于2.5毫米的颗粒物(PM2.5)水平之间的关联。在鸟取大学医院四个时间段(2012年两个时间段和2013年两个时间段)收集的沉降PM刺激的THP-G8细胞中评估白细胞介素-8启动子活性。SPM每增加14.0毫克/立方米,导致2012年和2013年的PEF变化分别为-2.16升/分钟和-0.81升/分钟。PM2.5每增加10.7毫克/立方米,分别与2012年和2013年的PEF变化-2.58升/分钟和-0.55升/分钟相关。这些关联仅在2012年具有显著性。2012年的两个时间段白细胞介素-8启动子活性均显著高于2013年。学童肺功能与SPM和PM2.5的每日水平之间存在显著关联,但这种关联可能因PM引发白细胞介素-8产生的能力不同而有所差异。
