Genome-wide association study identifies toll-like receptor four protein-mediated metabolic remodelling affecting gout pathogenesis
Background: Obesity is a major risk factor for gout, but the biological mechanisms linking adiposity to crystal-driven inflammation remain largely unknown. Identifying genetic mediators of this relationship is crucial for developing targeted therapies. Methods: We conducted an integrative multi-omics study anchored by observational analysis of 9,700 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and focused on genetic causal inf…

Using a unique database of customer behaviors extracted from the top 2000 mobile apps developed by companies in China, this study investigates the impact of mobile apps on inefficient corporate investments. The results indicate that metrics such as active user count, usage duration, and app launch frequency can mitigate inefficient i…
Research on Companion-Based Forest Therapy and Its Physiological and Psychological Benefits to College Students
With the growing pressures of modern society, physical and mental health issues have emerged as critical global concerns. Forest therapy (FT), a novel health management model that integrates natural environments with physical and mental healing, has gained increasing attention in recent years. However, mainstream FT approaches often overlook the psychological value of interpersonal interaction. Building upon traditional FT, this study proposes a …
Social Network, Cognition and Participation in Rural Health Governance
Rural health governance is an important part of low-carbon green life, which is also related to the sustainable development and population health project in rural areas. Based on the survey data of 2343 rural residents in China, this study adopted a binary logistic regression model to explore the effects of rural residents' social network and cognition on their participation in rural health governance. The research results show that only less tha…
Community Resilience Governance on Public Health Crisis in China
The COVID-19 pandemic has immensely affected economic and social order in not only China but the entire world, seriously threatening peoples' lives and property. In China's fight against COVID-19, the community is at the front line of joint prevention and control of the disease, yet it faces the problem of insufficient resilience. We explored the manifestations and formation mechanism of the problem of insufficient resilience in community public …
Suzhi (human quality) and individualization amongst short-term Kung Fu students in China
This paper examines how the discourse on suzhi (human quality) has been imagined, reconstructed, and negotiated by short-term martial arts students and their parents in Dengfeng, a county-level city in central China. Dengfeng was home to 48 Shaolin martial arts schools and more than 70,000 full-time students in 2012. Aside from the full-timers, who board throughout the year, short-term students are provided martial arts learning for several weeks…

Catastrophes and primary school drawing course design for moral education in China
This paper examines how drawing classes can contribute to moral education in primary schools. This paper uses class observation, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of students’ work to highlight how the students articulate moral concerns by drawing and designing future-oriented architectures, which aims at preventing natural and social catastrophes. It suggests that the design of this drawing class provides new possibilities of d…
Capitalising on Silver Tongues
This article explores why Chinese parents are keen to urge their children to advance themselves by actively participating in elocution training, a popular form of shadow education. Drawing on 14 in-depth interviews with parents in north-east China, this study highlights that these parents hope that their children will accumulate cultural capital by exercising their oratorical skills. Many parents expect their children to articulate cultural capit…
A “Feel-Good” Future
This article examines how a group of martial arts students in China make sense of their futures and how their hopes toward a “feel-good” future reveal and affect their perceived class identities. Twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in Dengfeng, a county-level city in central China. Dengfeng was home to 48 registered martial arts schools and more than 70,000 full-time students in 2012. By uncovering the hopes, aspirations, and pe…
Capital in Transition
Migrant children are an unintended consequence of the widened rural-urban gap in China. In Dengfeng, a county-level city in central China, many of the 70,000 full-time martial arts students were rural-to-urban migrant children ‘floating’ with their parents from one place to another. Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork, this paper explores why these migrant children ‘migrated’ to martial arts schools for educational purposes and how the…
Home(Lessness) in Urbanizing China
This article examines how martial arts students retell their stories about being left behind and how they have experienced, viewed, and struggled with the invisible violence. Popularly known as the “hometown of Chinese martial arts,” Dengfeng is home to 48 registered martial arts schools and more than 70,000 full-time students. Drawing on 12-month-long fieldwork, this article highlights how martial arts students have (re)constructed the meaning o…
From State Predation to Market Extraction
Despite some progress in the past three decades, China’s rural economy still suffers from a lack of sound financial intermediation in terms of the coverage, quantity, and quality of financial services. This article offers a study of the political economy of rural finance in China, a historical and political analysis of the reform process on a systemic level, as well as an assessment of China’s reform strategies and programs. We argue that the pat…
Being Tough and Belonging
Literary masculinity has dominated Chinese society for thousands of years. Even in today's academic schools, boys with good academic performance have a higher status than those who are seen as ‘aggressive’ or ‘tough’. In this article I examine how students reconstruct the hierarchy of literary/martial masculinity in Shaolin martial arts schools, an alternative form of education in China. Rather than being disciplined into socially useful subjects…
Symbolic Interactionism in Sociology of Education Textbooks in Mainland China
17 textbooks are examined for the quantity and quality of their material pertaining to ideas in the symbolic interaction tradition. Most of the textbooks fail to discuss at least some of the ideas in this tradition. In the 5 exceptions, the texts only include material from the Chicago school of this tradition with only a little inclusive information from the Iowa school. Thus, the ideas about symbolic interaction that students receive from these …
