Previous epidemiological studies have reported seasonal variation patterns of depression symptoms, which may be influenced by bad weather conditions, such as a lack of sunlight. However, evidence on the acute effects of sunshine duration on outpatient visits for depression is limited, especially in developing countries, and the results are inconsistent. We collected daily outpatient visits for depression from the local mental health centre in Suzhou, Anhui Province, China, during 2017-2019.

Method: This cross-sectional study used an online survey to assess mental health problems of 461 confirmed COVID-19 patients in a Jianghan Fangcang shelter from February 15 to 22, 2020.

The epidemic characteristics and spatial autocorrelation analysis of hand, foot and mouth disease from 2010 to 2015 in Shantou, Guangdong, China.

Background: Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is the highest incidence of infectious diseases in China. Shantou is one of the most infected cities. Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand the epidemic characteristics and distribution trend of HFMD in Shantou.

Cu-Catalyzed carbamoylation versus amination of quinoline N-oxide with formamides.

An efficient, direct carbamoylation and amination of quinoline N-oxides with formamides to access 2-carbamoyl and 2-amino quinolines has been developed through copper-catalyzed C-C and C-N bond formations via cross-dehydrogenative coupling reactions. The reaction proceeds smoothly over a broad range of substrates with excellent functional group tolerance under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction is initiated by formamide radical or decarbonylative aminyl radical formation in the presence of TBHP, according to the different substituent on the N atom of formamide.

The application of meteorological data and search index data in improving the prediction of HFMD: A study of two cities in Guangdong Province, China.
