Article Synopsis
- A study in Eastern China aimed to determine how many couples with at least one child under three years old would like to have more children and whether a planned monthly cash subsidy would influence their fertility intentions.
- Before hearing about a monthly ¥1000 cash subsidy, only 15.1% of the respondents expressed interest in having more children, but that number increased by 8.5% after learning about the subsidy.
- Conducted in early 2022, the survey included 144,893 eligible respondents and examined factors such as sociodemographic traits, household expenses, and reasons behind the reluctance or willingness to increase family size.
Background: As one of the leading causes of child mortality, deaths due to congenital anomalies (CAs) have been a prominent obstacle to meet Sustainable Development Goal 3.2.
Objective: We conducted this study to understand the death burden and trend of under-5 CA mortality (CAMR) in Zhejiang, one of the provinces with the best medical services and public health foundations in Eastern China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the physiological health of Chinese children during the COVID-19 lockdown by comparing data from health checkups before (2019) and during (2020) the pandemic.
- - Results indicated that children in 2020 had worse health indicators, showing higher rates of overweight/obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and vitamin D deficiency, while experiencing lower levels of hemoglobin and triglycerides compared to 2019.
- - Statistical analyses revealed significant year-related correlations for various health metrics, suggesting that the pandemic negatively impacted children's health outcomes.

The unearthing of a large number of red-yellow colored stones in Yuhui Site, Bengbu city, Anhui province of China, which was the only site of Longshan culture appointed by "Origin of the Chinese Civilization Project" in the Huaihe River basin, has drawn a widespread attention in archaeology. The present research was undertaken to examine elements, mineral composition and thermal history of one red-yellow color stone in different positions, classified according to specialized colors, by means of synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SR-XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS), electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) and thermoluminescence (TL). The results show that the main body of the color stone is limonite with a large amount of quartz inclusion.
