Associations of workplace violence with depression and anxiety among health-care workers
BACKGROUND: Workplace violence (WPV) is a pervasive occupational hazard in health-care settings and has increasingly been recognized as a major threat to health-care workers' mental health. Previous studies have consistently shown that WPV is associated with a range of adverse psychological outcomes, including depression and anxiety. However, despite the growing body of evidence documenting these associations, the underlying mechanisms through wh…
Exposure to outdoor artificial light at night is associated with a higher risk of ulcerative colitis
Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract, and environmental factors are believed to play an important role in its pathogenesis. Exposure to outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) has been linked to the globally increasing incidence and prevalence of several diseases; however, its relationship with IBD remains unclear. We aimed to estimate the long-term risk of IBD associated w…
The Deepest Well
This study underscores the lasting impact of ACEs on SLE in later life. The moderating effects of wealth and depressive symptoms highlight the role of adult socioeconomic and psychological conditions in shaping this association. Reducing ACEs and promoting financial security and mental health in later life may enhance positive expectations of aging and support healthier aging trajectories
High transmission risk in HIV-1 molecular transmission network among MSM is related to unsafe sexual behavior and adverse childhood experiences
Background: Molecular transmission networks enable successful identification of core transmitters compared to traditional epidemiological surveillance; however, behavioral characteristics and psychological drivers of these spreaders remain poorly characterized. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are significantly more common among HIV-positive individuals than in the general population; yet empirical evidence showing that ACEs increase transmis…
Night shift work increases the risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome
Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder associated with a substantial disease burden. Night shift work has become increasingly common and is related to various human diseases. This study investigates the relationship between night shift work and the risk of incident IBS. Methods 266,605 participants from the UK Biobank were included in our analysis. Data on shift work patterns, IBS incidence, and releva…
Development of a personal health management system integrating digital twin technology and smart wearables in China
Introduction: Traditional health management primarily focuses on treating existing diseases, while neglecting early intervention, prevention, and proactive health maintenance. In contrast, modern Personal Health Management (PHM) emphasizes on prevention alongside treatment. However, the effectiveness of PHM is constrained by several challenges, including limited awareness of proactive health management, the complexity of physiological data genera…
Strengthening financial protection through multitiered health coverage
INTRODUCTION: Low-income households face disproportionate out-of-pocket hardship when accessing healthcare, undermining equity and universal health coverage. To address these challenges, China implemented a three-tiered health coverage system-basic medical insurance, catastrophic medical insurance and medical assistance-but its comprehensive impact on the financial protection remains underexplored. METHODS: We analysed Shaanxi Province's Medical …
Decomposing disparities in the utilization of basic public health services between locals and internal migrants in China
To reduce inequities in the utilization of basic public health services between locals and internal migrants, measures need to be taken to improve knowledge about the basic public health services and to help migrants integrate into the local community
Geographic disparities in inpatient service in primary care and patients' choice of first point of consultation
Our findings suggest that inpatient service in primary care enhancement exhibits heterogeneous effects on FPC rates across China's geographic and socioeconomic strata. Policy prioritization should focus on targeted interventions in underserved rural regions with medical resource scarcity, potentially yielding greater equity dividends in healthcare access. Improving the capacity of primary care services should remain a key direction of health syst…
Associations of exposure to volatile organic compounds with sleep health and potential mediators
Objective The effect of environmental pollution on sleep has been widely studied, yet the relationship between exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sleep health requires further exploration. We aimed to investigate the single and mixed effect of urinary VOC metabolites on sleep health and identify potential mediators. Methods Data for this cross-sectional study was collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys …
The association of Chinese and American antenatal care utilization indices with birth outcomes
Objective: Few comparisons have been implemented between different prenatal care utilization indices and their effects on adverse outcomes. This study investigated the appropriateness of Chinese antenatal care (ANC) regulations and compared Chinese and American adequacy of prenatal care utilization (APNCU) scores. Methods: From 2010 to 2022, the medical records of 60,114 pregnant women were collected from the electronic medical record system (EMR…
Maternal educational inequalities about adverse pregnancy outcomes observed in a rural area of a province of China during a time period (2010–2018)
BACKGROUND: The relationship between maternal education and adverse pregnancy outcomes is well documented. However, limited research has investigated maternal educational disparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes in China. This study examined maternal educational inequalities associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in rural China. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study using participants enrolled in the National Free Preconcepti…

The Impact of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill upon Lung Health—Mouse Model-Based RNA-Seq Analyses
We used a transcriptomic approach to interrogate the effects of a saline-accommodated fraction from the Macondo 252 well (MC252) oil and Corexit dispersants on lung tissue. Wild-type C57BL/6 male and female mice were exposed on days 0, 7 and 13 by oropharyngeal aspiration to saline accommodated fractions (SAF) of crude oil from the Macondo (MC252) well, Corexit 9500, Corexit 9527, 9500+oil and 9527+oil or a saline solution as the vehicle control.…
Understanding the Influence of Crop Residue Burning on PM2.5 and PM10 Concentrations in China from 2013 to 2017 Using Modis Data
In recent years, particulate matter (PM) pollution has increasingly affected public life and health. Therefore, crop residue burning, as a significant source of PM pollution in China, should be effectively controlled. This study attempts to understand variations and characteristics of PM 10 and PM 2.5 concentrations and discuss correlations between the variation of PM concentrations and crop residue burning using ground observation and Moderate R…
Measurements of POI-based mixed use and their relationships with neighbourhood vibrancy
Although mixed use is an emerging strategy that has been widely accepted in urban planning for promoting neighbourhood vibrancy, there is no consensus on how to quantitatively measure the mix and the effects of mixed use on neighbourhood vibrancy. Shannon entropy, the most commonly used diversity measurement in assessing mixed use, has been found to be inadequate in measuring the multifaceted, multidimensional characteristics of mixed use. And la…
Quitting cigarettes completely or switching to smokeless tobacco
The Swedish results are not replicated in the United States. Both male and female US smokers appear to have higher quit rates for smoking than have their Swedish counterparts, despite greater use of smokeless tobacco in Sweden. Promoting smokeless tobacco for harm reduction in countries with ongoing tobacco control programmes may not result in any positive population effect on smoking cessation
