然而,分析数据后发现,孩子出生时如果家里养了猫,这一基因的风险影响就会降低。
In other words, if you're unlucky enough to have the particular gene that doubles your chances of getting asthma, getting a cat early can help mitigate that risk.
换句话说,如果你不幸携带特定的基因使得你患哮喘的几率翻倍,那么小的时候家里养只猫可以帮助减轻这种风险。
The exact process behind the added protection isn't clear. Allergens could be directly interfering with the gene's expression, or maybe it's more convoluted, involving microbes in the cat's microflora.
这一现象背后的确切过程尚不清楚。过敏原可能会直接干扰基因的表达,也可能更复杂,涉及猫体内菌群的微生物。
Whatever it is that cats shed, puppies don't have it. There was no similar decrease in asthma risk for those newborns who shared their home with a dog.
不管猫咪在其中发挥了怎样的作用,小狗都无法发挥同样的作用。这体现在对于那些家里养狗的新生儿,哮喘风险并没有类似的下降。
While the research doesn't point directly to a preventative treatment for asthma, it does emphasise how complicated disease development can be.
虽然这项研究并没有直接指向哮喘的预防性治疗,但确实强调了疾病发展的复杂程度。
