Methods: A historical, population-based cohort study was conducted based on the Beijing Medical Claim Data for Emplo…
The Earlier Apoptosis in Human Sperm
The combination of Syto16/7-AAD allows the detection of apoptosis at an earlier stage than that of annexin V/7-AAD. The effects of the earlier apoptosis of spermatozoa on fertilization rate and post-embryonic development have not been investigated systematically. The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between the earlier apoptosis of spermatozoa in IVF patients and seminal parameters (concentration and morphology), to assess th…

Translation of Chinese Classical Poetry in the Perspective of Intertextuality
Based on intertextuality theory which emphasizes the interdependence and influence of texts on each other. According to the theory founder Kristeva, each text is a mosaic of quotations, and each text is the absorption and transformation of other texts. This paper discusses the translation of Chinese classical poetry and argues that poetry translation is characterized by a great deal of intertextuality in terms of text, imagery and allusions, and …
Impact of Exposure to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Pollution on Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
The impact of exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) on the incidence of knee osteoarthritis is unclear, especially in Beijing which is a highly polluted city. We conducted a time-series study to examine the correlation between PM 2.5 exposure and outpatient visits for knee osteoarthritis in Beijing. Changes (in percentage) in the number of outpatient visits corresponding to every 10-μg/m 3 increase in the PM 2.5 concentration were determi…

Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults
Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities 1,2 . This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity 3–6 . Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean B…
Haplotype and Haplotype-Environment Interaction Analysis Revealed Roles of SPRY2 for NSCL/P among Chinese Populations
