Improved medical protective clothing comfort for medical staff facing high-intensity infectious diseases
Introduction: During outbreaks of respiratory infectious diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers are frequently required to wear medical protective clothing (MPC) for prolonged periods. Traditional MPC, however, prioritizes protective efficacy while neglecting wearer comfort. Its poor air permeability can induce physical fatigue and dehydration in medical staff during extended use, thereby exacerbating their burden when managin…

SiNiSan Ameliorates the Depression-Like Behavior of Rats That Experienced Maternal Separation Through 5-HT1A Receptor/CREB/BDNF Pathway
Background: Early adverse life stress is an important dangerous factor in the development of psychiatric disorders, particularly depression. Available clinical antidepressant agents, such as fluoxetine, [a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)], are unsatisfactory because of their side effects. SiNiSan (SNS) is a classic Chinese medicine prescription regarded to disperse stagnated liver qi to relieve qi stagnation. Therefore, this study w…
Combining Spatial Analysis and a Drinking Water Quality Index to Evaluate Monitoring Data
Drinking water monitoring is essential for identifying health-related risks, as well as for building foundations for management of safe drinking water supplies. However, statistical analyses of drinking water quality monitoring data are challenging because of non-normal (skewed distributions) and missing values. Therefore, a new method combining a water quality index (WQI) with spatial analysis is introduced in this paper to fill the gap between …

Predicting the Water Rebound Effect in China under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways
The rebound effect exists widely in the fields of energy, irrigation, and other resource utilizations. Previous studies have predicted the evolution of different resource utilizations under the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), but it is still unclear whether total water use has a rebound effect. This study uses the SSPs as the basic prediction framework and evaluates the water resources and economic status of the provinces in China using the…
