Efficacy and safety of Mudan granules for treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Mudan granules are Chinese patented medicines approved by the National Medical Product Administration, used to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) with Qi deficiency and collateral obstruction syndrome. However, placebo-controlled studies definitively establishing efficacy and safety are lacking. AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mudan granules as an adjunct treatment for DPN with qi d…
A Reversible Compression Coding Method for 3D Property Volumes
3D (three-dimensional) property volume is an important data carrier for 3D land administration by using 3D cadastral technology, which can be used to express the legal space (property rights) scope matching with physical entities such as buildings and land. A 3D property volume is represented by a dense set of 3D coordinate points arranged in a predefined order and is displayed alongside the parcel map for reference and utilization by readers. To…
Factors affecting the medication literacy of older adults and targeted initiatives for improvement
Introduction This study explored the state of rational drug use among older adults in central China, aiming to unveil factors influencing their medication literacy and proposing targeted improvement measures. Methods A cross-sectional study involving 454 participants aged 60 and above was conducted in Hubei province between February 1 and May 30, 2023, with data collected through face-to-face interviews by pharmacists. Multiple logistic regressio…
Visibility-Based R-Tree Spatial Index for Consistent Visualization in Indoor and Outdoor Scenes
(1) Background: The smart city management system, with GIS technology as its core, is based on realistic visualization of multiple types of 3D model data syntheses. However, the efficiency barriers to achieving smooth and continuous visualization from outdoor scenes to small indoor scenes remain a challenge. (2) Methods: This paper uses the visibility prediction method to obtain potential visual sets at three levels—outdoor, indoor and outdoor co…
A Density-Peak-Based Clustering Method for Multiple Densities Dataset
Clustering methods in data mining are widely used to detect hotspots in many domains. They play an increasingly important role in the era of big data. As an advanced algorithm, the density peak clustering (DPC) algorithm is able to deal with arbitrary datasets, although it does not perform well when the dataset includes multiple densities. The parameter selection of cut-off distance dc is normally determined by users’ experience and could affect …
Arbidol is associated with increased in-hospital mortality among 109 patients with severe Covid-19
BACKGROUND: The antiviral therapy has been considered as an ordinary intervention for COVID-19 patients. However, the effectiveness of antiviral therapy is uncertain. This study was designed to determine the association between the antiviral therapy and in-hospital mortality among severe COVID-19 patients. METHODS: This study enrolled severe COVID-19 patients admitted to four designated hospitals in Wuhan, China. The use of antiviral treatments, …

Map generalization is a process of reducing the contents of a map or data to properly show a geographic feature(s) at a smaller extent. Over the past few years, the fractal way of thinking has emerged as a new paradigm for map generalization. A geographic feature can be deemed as a fractal given the perspective of scaling, as its rough, irregular, and unsmooth shape inherently holds a striking scaling hierarchy of far more small elements than lar…
Understanding Chinese Urban Form
Urban form can be reflected by many city elements, such as streets. A street network serves as the backbone of a city and reflects a city’s physical structure. A street network’s topological measures and statistical distributions have been widely investigated in recent years, but previous studies have seldom characterized the heavy-tailed distribution of street connectivities from a fractal perspective. The long-tail distribution of street connec…
Spatial Context-Based Local Toponym Extraction and Chinese Textual Address Segmentation from Urban POI Data
Georeferencing by place names (known as toponyms) is the most common way of associating textual information with geographic locations. While computers use numeric coordinates (such as longitude-latitude pairs) to represent places, people generally refer to places via their toponyms. Query by toponym is an effective way to find information about a geographic area. However, segmenting and parsing textual addresses to extract local toponyms is a dif…
Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding echinococcosis in Xizang Autonomous Region, China
Xizang Autonomous Region is an epidemic area of Echinococcosis. The prevalence of the disease has been largely due to the lack of knowledge, awareness, and poor hygiene practice in local residences. Therefore, effective disease prevention education and awareness campaigns in community will be significantly helpful in prevention and control of echinococcosis
Spatiotemporal Transmission Patterns and Determinants of Dengue Fever
Dengue fever is one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the world and is mainly affected by the interaction of meteorological, human and land-use factors. This study aims to identify the impact of meteorological, human and land-use factors on dengue fever cases, involving the interplay between multiple factors. The analyses identified the statistically significant determinants affecting the transmission of dengue fever, employing cross-co…
Ladm-based modeling of the unified registration of immovable property in China
Glycemic control among patients in China with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving oral drugs or injectables
Less than one third of the patients had achieved the goal of HbA1c <7.0%. Glycemic control decreased and insulin use increased with the duration of diabetes
Prevalence of Diabetes among Men and Women in China
BACKGROUND: Because of the rapid change in lifestyle in China, there is concern that diabetes may become epidemic. We conducted a national study from June 2007 through May 2008 to estimate the prevalence of diabetes among Chinese adults. METHODS: A nationally representative sample of 46,239 adults, 20 years of age or older, from 14 provinces and municipalities participated in the study. After an overnight fast, participants underwent an oral gluc…
