Child Road Safety in Transition
Child road safety is a major international concern, with traffic injuries being a top cause of child deaths. This study examines the connection between economic development and child road fatalities by travel mode to determine if the Kuznets curve-a phenomenon whereby fatalities first increase then decrease with economic development-exists for children. Based on 129-country (1990-2021) data stratified by the Inequality-adjusted Human Development …
Effects of rock outcrops on runoff and erosion from karst slopes under simulated rainfall
Rock outcrops play a crucial role in affecting hydrological and erosion processes on karst hillslopes. However, due to various difficulties in constructing runoff plots on field rocky slopes, previous studies used small metal flumes to simulate outcropped slopes, which greatly differed from the natural rock outcropped slopes. In this study, the effects of rock outcrops on runoff and erosion were studied on karst slopes with natural soil–rock cond…
Terrestrial moisture sources dominate summer precipitation fluctuations in Northwest China
Northwest China (NWC), is characterized by its arid and semi-arid environment, and exhibits high sensitivity to precipitation variations. Recent research indicates a wetting tendency over NWC, yet quantifying its moisture source remains challenging. Here, employing a 40 year simulation with Community Atmosphere Model version 5.1 (CAM5.1) coupled to an atmospheric water tracer algorithm, we ascertain that the dominant source of summer moisture ove…
A synergistic ozone-climate control to address emerging ozone pollution challenges
Tropospheric ozone threatens human health and crop yields, exacerbates global warming, and fundamentally changes atmospheric chemistry. Evidence has pointed toward widespread ozone increases in the troposphere, and particularly surface ozone is chemically complex and difficult to abate. Despite past successes in some regions, a solution to new challenges of ozone pollution in a warming climate remains unexplored. In this perspective, by compiling…
Evidence of interactive effects of late-pregnancy exposure to air pollution and extreme temperature on preterm birth in China
Perinatal exposure to heat and air pollution has been shown to affect the risk of preterm birth (PTB). However, limited evidence exists regarding their joint effects, particularly in heavily polluted regions like China. This study utilized data from the ongoing China Birth Cohort Study, including 103 040 birth records up to December 2020, and hourly measurements of air pollution (PM 2.5 , NO 2 , and O 3 ) and temperature. We assessed the nonlinea…
All-cause mortality attributable to long-term changes in mean temperature and diurnal temperature variation in China
Previous studies have demonstrated an association between short-term exposure to ambient temperature and mortality. However, the long-term effects of elevated temperature and temperature variability on mortality have remained somewhat elusive in epidemiological studies. We conducted a comprehensive epidemiological study utilizing Chinese population census data from 2000 and 2010. Census-derived demographic and socioeconomic factors were paired wi…

This presents not only an issue to address the unmet medical needs of patients, but also a hurdle for pharmaceutical and biotech industry to continue R&D in this disease area. Fundamental pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles provide an understanding of the drug exposure, target binding and pharmacological activity at the target site of action for a…
Electric Bicyclist Injury Severity during Peak Traffic Periods
Accidents involving electric bicycles, a popular means of transportation in China during peak traffic periods, have increased. However, studies have seldom attempted to detect the unique crash consequences during this period. This study aims to explore the factors influencing injury severity in electric bicyclists during peak traffic periods and provide recommendations to help devise specific management strategies. The random-parameters logit or …
Quantifying the contribution of temperature anomaly to stroke risk in China
Epidemiological studies have quantitatively linked adverse health outcomes, including stroke, to ambient temperature. However, such analyses cannot be applied to estimate disease burden attributable to climate change, because they assume a theoretical minimum risk reference based on an optimal temperature, which is a post hoc estimator that cannot be generalized to the unstudied locations. In this study, we used temperature anomaly (TA), an alter…

Perception of foreign cigarettes and their advertising in China
The previous restrictions on cigarette advertising in China failed to prevent a large portion of the population from seeing and understanding the advertisements. Before the 1995 advertising ban took effect, strict limitations on imports of foreign cigarettes notwithstanding, certain highly advertised brands such as Marlboro achieved wide recognition and even consumer preference. Stricter restrictions are suggested as previous ones have failed to …
