- To investigate the potential associations between household renovation and allergic diseases among preschool children in Wuhan, we conducted a large cross-sectional questionnaire survey among 9455 preschool children aged 3-6 years in Wuhan during November to December 2019. Data on demographics, health status, and home decoration conditions were analysed based on a questionnaire. Compared with tiles/stone/cement floor covering, the use of composite floor significantly increased the risk of diagnosed rhinitis and eczema among children (rhinitis: AOR, 95% CI: 1.36, 1.06-1.73; eczema: AOR, 95% CI: 1.47, 1.17-1.85). Household renovation had significant associations with diagnosed eczema (within 1 year before pregnancy: AOR, 95% CI: 1.34, 1.20-1.50; during pregnancy: AOR, 95% CI: 1.25, 1.08-1.44). This study suggests that use of artificial synthetic materials in home renovation during early childhood and pregnancy may be potential risk factors for childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema.

- Magnetic hydrogel that can respond to a magnetic stimulus is a promising biomaterial for tissue regeneration and cancer treatment. In this study, a novel magnetic hydrogel is formed by simply mixing bisphosphonate (BP)-modified hyaluronic acid (i.e., HA-BP) polymeric solution and iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticle dispersion, in which the hydrogel networks are cross linked by BP groups and iron atoms on the surface of particle. The iron BP coordination chemistry affords a dynamic network, characterized by self-healing, shear-thinning, and smoothly injectable properties. Moreover, the HA-BP-Fe3O4 magnetic hydrogel demonstrates heat-generation characterization under an alternating magnetic field. The animal experiments confirm the biocompatibilities of HA BP center dot Fe3O4 hydrogel, which presents the hydrogels potential for tissue regeneration and anticancer treatment applications.
