Povezanost med rakom in onesnaževali, ki nastanejo v procesih sežiga in sosežiga odpadkov: krovni pregled literature
Teja Oblak, Tanja Carli, Vesna Zadnik, Niko Samec, Andreja Kukec, 2023, review article

Abstract: Izhodišča: V procesih sežiga in sosežiga odpadkov ter proizvodnje cementa se v okolje sproščajo izpusti, ki vsebujejo različna onesnaževala. Z namenom oceniti povezanost med rakom pri poklicno izpostavljenih in okoliških prebivalcih ter izpostavljenostjo okoljskim onesnaževalom iz sežigalnic, naprav za sosežig in cementarn smo si za cilj zadali izdelavo krovnega pregleda literature. Metode: V krovni pregled literature so bile vključene metaanalize in sistematični pregledi literature v angleščini v obdobju od leta 1980 do leta 2023. Iskanje je bilo izvedeno v štirih podatkovnih zbirkah (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews). Kakovost je bila ocenjena z orodjema AMSTAR-2 (metodologija) in GRADE (dokazi). Rezultati: Izmed 7.701 opredeljenih dokumentov jih je bilo v končno analizo vključenih 14 (pet metaanaliz, devet sistematičnih pregledov). Obstajajo nizki do zmerni dokazi o povezanosti med sarkomom mehkih tkiv in ne-Hodgkinovim limfomom z izpostavljenostjo dioksinom v okolici sežigalnic I. generacije, česar študije niso dokazale za sežigalnice naslednjih generacij. Zaenkrat ne razpolagamo z dokazi za sosežig. Pri delavcih v cementarnah I. do II. generacije obstaja nekaj zmernih dokazov o povezanosti med incidenco vseh rakov, pljučnega raka, raka ustne votline in žrela, prostate in želodca z izpostavljenostjo šestvalentnemu kromu. Velika večina dokazov je omejenih zaradi mešanih rezultatov, razlik v tehniki vprašanj, heterogenosti in potencialni pristranosti. Zaključek: Obstajajo omejeni dokazi o povezanosti med rakom in izpostavljenostjo onesnaževalom iz sežigalnic I. in cementarn I. do II. generacije. Za oceno morebitne povezanosti med rakom in onesnaževali iz najsodobnejših naprav za sosežig je smiselno načrtovati ciljane epidemiološke študije in študije notranje izpostavljenosti z uporabo humanega biomonitoringa.

Epidemiology and risk factors of self-reported systemic allergic reactions to a Hymenoptera venom in beekeepers worldwide : a protocol for a systematic review of observational studies
Tanja Carli, Igor Locatelli, Mitja Košnik, Andreja Kukec, 2022, review article

Abstract: Introduction Systemic allergic reaction (SAR) to a Hymenoptera venom is a potentially life-threatening disorder. The rate of SAR between beekeepers in comparison with a healthy individual is different. The risk for an SAR is particularly high in beekeepers due to their persistent or seasonal exposure to the stinging Hymenoptera. We aim to provide a critical appraisal and a synthesis of evidence-based data from epidemiological observational studies, focusing on SARs to a Hymenoptera venom and the associated risk factors for SARs in beekeepers worldwide. Methods and analysis Searching will include seven electronic databases for published studies without language restrictions, from inception up to 3 August 2021, and it will be rerun for all electronic databases prior publication. Only epidemiological observational studies in beekeepers will be included. The risk of bias in the included studies will be appraised by using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, adapted for cross-sectional studies. For the certainty of evidence, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach will be used. Qualitative synthesis will be presented in a tabulated format with the selected characteristics across primary studies and the main outcome of interest. A meta-analysis is planned to be performed if there will be a sufficient number of homogeneous studies with complete data. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols 2015 statement will guide the reporting of this systematic literature review. Ethics and dissemination No ethics approval is needed to conduct the systematic literature review since it will be solely based on the published literature. Findings will be disseminated through the relevant conferences, peer-review and open-access journals.

Natural history of the hymenoptera venom sensitivity reactions in adults : study design
Simona Perčič, Lidija Bojanić, Mitja Košnik, Andreja Kukec, 2022, original scientific article

Abstract: Background: Allergic reactions to Hymenoptera stings can have varying levels of severity, according to the Müller grading system. Methods: By an epidemiological concept, this is a retrospective cohort study. The observed cohort was represented by patients referred to the University Clinic Golnik due to Hymenoptera allergic reaction in the period from 1997 to 2015. From the immunological database of the University Clinic Golnik, we obtained laboratory data (sIgE, skin tests and basophil activation test). The clinical characteristics of patients were obtained from BIRPIS. With the help of a questionnaire, which was sent to each patient in the period from May 2019 to April 2021, we obtained epidemiological data. For the assessment of the association between the severity of allergic reaction for the observed outcome, the severity of the first allergic reaction after Hymenoptera sting was used. Other variables were grouped according to risk factors. Discussion: We will identify the risk factors that could play an important role in a severe systemic reaction: the aetiology of the Hymenoptera sting, sex, age, history and severity of previous systemic reactions, being re-stung in an interval of two months, the frequency of re-stings, atopy, genetic predisposition, preventive medication use, other medication use, beekeeping or living next to beehives and why immunotherapy was not taken. Laboratory data will also be analysed to determine if there is any association with laboratory tests and the severity of the allergic reactions after Hymenoptera stings. Conclusions: Several new approaches are introduced in the study design. The most important is that the protocol covers epidemiological data gained from the questionnaire, as well as clinical data gained from the Immunological database and BIRPIS database. We expect to obtain significant results that will explain the risk factors for the natural history of Hymenoptera sting allergic reactions and will help allergologists, as well as general doctors, when facing those patients allergic to Hymenoptera venom without immunotherapy.
