Evaluation of long-term care insurance pilot city policies in China
Background: The acceleration of China's aging process makes examining policy experiences from LTCI pilot cities highly significant for advancing the LTCI system in China and other emerging nations. Methods: Policy documents were gathered using Citespace 6.3.R1, with primary data sources obtained from official government websites. A comparative study of LTCI policies in pilot cities was conducted, focusing on policy support, participation scope, f…
The impact of parental migration on left-behind children’s tooth health in China
The study highlights that although parental migration does not increase the prevalence of dental caries among left-behind children, it contributes to inequities in their access to treatment. Given the serious implications of untreated dental caries, targeted efforts are needed to improve treatment rates among left-behind children

Factors influencing cataract awareness and treatment attitudes among the middle-aged and older in western China's rural areas
Purpose This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge about cataracts and the associated factors among adults aged 50 and above in rural areas of Qingcheng county in Gansu Province of Western China, 2020. Methods A large community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among the randomly selected 1,503 adults aged 50 and above from October to December 2020. Data were collected by conducting eye examinations and face-to-face inte…
The impact of parental migration on left-behind children’s vision health in rural China
Our findings suggest that parental migration, while not increasing the prevalence of myopia in left-behind children, has led to inequity in myopic left-behind children's correction. Given the severe consequences of uncorrected myopia, action is required to enhance the correction rate of myopic left-behind children
Knowledge of cataracts and eye care utilization among adults aged 50 and above in rural Western China
Background: Cataracts are highly prevalent in rural China, but patient utilization of eye care services is low. Cataract knowledge is regarded as an important factor in eye care utilization. Few studies, however, have been conducted to measure the level of cataract knowledge and its relationship with eye care utilization among older adults in rural China. Hence, we described cataract knowledge and investigated the relationships between cataract k…
Effect of Eyeglasses on Student Academic Performance
Although eyeglasses have been considered a cost-effective way to combat myopia, the empirical evidence of its impacts on improving learning outcomes is inconsistent. This paper provides empirical evidence examining the effect of providing eyeglasses on academic performance between provinces with a different economic level in western China. Overall, we find a significant impact in Intention-to-Treat analysis and a large and significant local avera…
Impact of Teacher Incentive Intervention on Students’ Vision Healthcare Uptake
Less than one-third of rural Chinese children with refractive error own or wear eyeglasses. To study the effect of teacher incentives on the acceptance of vision care offered to rural students with uncorrected refractive error, we conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial in 18 townships in one county in Shaanxi Province. Primary and junior high schools within each township were assigned to either intervention (all teachers received an ince…
Health Seeking Behavior among Rural Left-Behind Children
More than 60 million children in rural China are “left-behind”—both parents live and work far from their rural homes and leave their children behind. This paper explores differences in how left-behind and non-left-behind children seek health remediation in China’s vast but understudied rural areas. This study examines this question in the context of a program to provide vision health care to myopic rural students. The data come from a randomized …
The Effect of Providing Free Eyeglasses on Children’s Mental Health Outcomes in China
If children with common vision problems receive and use eyeglasses, their educational performance rises. Without proper treatment, visually impaired children may not achieve educational gains and could suffer from poor mental health. We use a randomized controlled trial to study the impact of an eyeglasses promotion program in rural China on the mental health of myopic primary school students. Three measures of mental health are used: learning an…
Biodegradation of 2-methylisoborneol by single bacterium in culture media and river water environment
2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB) is a typical odorant in water sources. It is difficult for conventional water treatment to remove it. In this study, three strains capable of removing 2-MIB were isolated from activated carbon of sand filter. They were identified to be Shinella zoogloeoides, Bacillus idriensis and Chitinophagaceae bacterium based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The biodegradation of 2-MIB was improved with the presence of external c…
