A real-world analysis of 1,823 hospitalized osteoporotic fractures in Northeast China.

Context: There are limited real-world data evidence assessing the clinical characteristics of hospitalized osteoporotic fractures in China.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of hospitalized major osteoporotic fractures in Northeast China.

Methods: We identified hospitalized fracture patients aged 50 and over from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022.

Regional antimicrobial resistance gene flow among the One Health sectors in China.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global health, with its spread intricately linked across human, animal, and environmental sectors. Revealing the antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) flow among the One Health sectors is essential for better control of antimicrobial resistance.

Results: In this study, we investigated regional ARG transmission among humans, food, and the environment in Dengfeng, Henan Province, China by combining large-scale metagenomic sequencing with culturing of resistant bacterial isolates in 592 samples.

Medical management of a child treated for two unique envenomation episodes via captive snakes in a 60-day period: A case report.

Venomous snake bites can result in irreversible damage, leading to respiratory dysfunction, bleeding disorders, kidney damage, or serious complications. In recent years, with the popularity of online shopping in China, snakes can be easily purchased and kept as pets, even if some areas are not natural habitats for certain kinds of snakes. A 13-year-old boy purchased two venomous snakes online as pets.

Isomerism Effect of 3D Dimeric Acceptors for Non-Halogenated Solvent-Processed Organic Solar Cells with 20 % Efficiency.

Organic photovoltaic materials that can be processed via non-halogenated solvents are crucial for the large-area manufacturing of organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the limited available of electron acceptors with adequate solubility and favorable molecular packing presents a challenge in achieving efficient non-halogenated solvent-processed OSCs. Herein, inspired by the three-dimensional dimeric acceptor CH8-4, we employed a molecular isomerization strategy to synthesize its isomers, CH8-4A and CH8-4B, by tuning the position of fluorine (F) atom in the central unit.

Hidden Spread of Rare Serovars Isolated from Healthy Individuals - Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, 2013-2022.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: The emergence of rare multidrug-resistant serovars is increasingly common in developing countries, posing a significant public health risk.

What Is Added By This Report?: This report identified five rare serovars in China for the first time and using whole-genome sequencing, identified their hidden spread among healthy individuals. Additionally, antibiotic resistance genes and virulence genes were identified.
