Exploring the effective substances and mechanisms of action of ChaiHu ShuGan San in treating perimenopausal syndrome based on in vivo exposure profiles and steroid hormone metabolic networks
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Perimenopause is a transitional period in women marked by hormonal fluctuations, often resulting in symptoms such as hot flashes and mood disturbances. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these symptoms are linked to liver stagnation and kidney deficiency, and ChaiHu ShuGan San (CSS), a classical multi-herbal formulation, has been traditionally used to alleviate mood-related symptoms and modulate endocrine f…
Rethinking the Legitimacy of British Botanizing in Late Qing China (1840–1912)
British bioprospecting in the last decades of imperial China was propelled not merely by natural history and commerce, but significantly by China’s evolving foreign relations under international treaties. This article unravels the legal dimension of British naturalists’ collecting activities in late Qing China, challenging indiscriminate associations of their presence with imperialist or illicit plunder of natural resources. While the Sino-Britis…

Carving out a niche for Chinese fungi
The history of a large collection of Chinese fungi at Cornell University, repatriated to Beijing in 2009, can be traced back to 1928. From this year the Cornell-trained mycologist Deng Shuqun began to send specimens of Chinese fungi and his publications to Cornell, while benefiting from Cornell’s support for his research on fungi and for the acquisition of scientific literature. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 he contributed t…

From Dung to Food
This article traces the rise of the French art of raising mushrooms in beds, its introduction to Britain and its subsequent evolution in the eighteenth century. This outcome of Anglo-French agrotechnological interaction, exemplifying the dynamic exploration and exchange of edibles occurring in early modern Europe, laid the foundation for the present-day British mushroom industry. During the early decades of the eighteenth century, mushrooms were …
Depression in children
Reasons for the increased incidence of depression in Chinese children remain poorly understood. Therefore, this study explored the influence of paternal companionship and peer relationships on depression in children based on OLS method using data reported by 2498 children from China (children Mage 10.7; 52.1% girls). We found that both variables could alleviate depression among children, but the effect of peer relationships was significantly grea…
Post-retirement employment behavior and older people’s expenditure
Using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this research investigates how post-retirement employment influences older people’s expenditure in urban China. By broadening the understanding of post-retirement employment behaviour from a consumer welfare perspective, this study expands the literature on retirement consumption and provides theoretical explanations, empirical insights and policy recommendations. The findings re…
Assessing the impact of 24-hour activity behaviors on cardiorespiratory fitness in the older adult
Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) serves as a critical measure of the cardiovascular system's efficiency in delivering oxygenated blood to tissues and organs. Understanding the relationship between various activity behaviors and CRF is essential for devising effective health interventions for the older adult population. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between 24-h activity behaviors and CRF in older adult indi…
Analyzing the Spatial Pattern and Driving Factors of Urban Digital Economy
The digital economy has recently emerged as a potent force for reorganizing resources and transforming the economic structure. Although the existence of the digital divide has been confirmed in various nations and regions, most existing research has only examined it at a single geographic scale, leaving out consideration of multiscale dynamics. To fill this gap, this work attempts to construct a multiscale dynamic analytic framework for the digit…

Vitamin D Status Is Negatively Related to Insulin Resistance and Bone Turnover in Chinese Non-Osteoporosis Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Background and Objectives Vitamin D status is closely related to blood glucose and bone metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Vitamin D affects bone density and bone metabolism, leading to osteopenia and osteoporosis. Insulin resistance increases the risk of osteoporosis in patients with T2DM. Our previous studies have shown a negative correlation between insulin resistance and 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels. The aim of the p…
Rediscovering a Jesuit Legacy of Natural History
The French Jesuit missionary Pierre-Martial Cibot stood conspicuous in Sino-European exchange of natural knowledge. However, his exploratory research on Chinese fungi, which is significant to the body of mycological knowledge, remains largely undiscussed and needs to be reappraised in the cross-cultural and historical context. Drawing on Cibot’s 1770s writings on Chinese fungi, this article provides a microhistorical treatment of their intricate …
The Imperial Maritime Customs and Sino-British exchange of materia medica, 1850s-1900s
The Imperial Maritime Customs under British influence accomplished and facilitated much work on the transmission of new samples and first-hand information on Chinese drugs to Britain and beyond. It also participated in the shaping of China's tariff and trade regulation, and quantified China's drug trade with Britain and others in terms of modern statistics. Its intersection with the British presence was in part characteristic of the dissemination…
History of Epidemics in China
The global pandemic of COVID -19 as a zoonotic disease invites new reflections on the human-animal relationship in the history of epidemics. Historians have explored medical concepts, social impacts, and other aspects of epidemics in China at different geographical and temporal scales. Relevant research significantly enriches historical understanding, yet animals seldom occupy the center of attention despite the fact that a variety of human infec…
Local Food and Transnational Science
This article focuses on new boundary issues that have emerged from the encounter of modern science from abroad and local foodstuffs exemplified by the caterpillar fungus in Republican China (1912–49). The caterpillar fungus was believed in premodern Chinese society to be able to reversibly transform from a blade of grass to a worm, thereby crossing boundaries between two species. It had different uses, ranging from a culinary ingredient to a medi…
‘Homoeopathy flourishes in the far East’
Homeopathy and its transnational transmission have received significant attention from historians of medicine. But the emergence of homeopathy in modern Chinese society has remained little explored. This article identifies the homeopathic practitioners arriving in nineteenth-century China, and then explores their origins, efforts and sense of professional identity in a transnational context. The history of homeopathy in China is found to begin in…
