Global trends in incidence of caries in permanent teeth of children aged 5 through 14 years, 1990 through 2019.

Background: School-aged children are in the stage of permanent tooth eruption to replace primary teeth and this can be reached at a life stage when their health habits are being formed due to a large amount of time in school. However, data on the global trend in incidence of caries in permanent teeth in school-aged children are sparse.

A case of multiple ART intolerance responds to Albuvirtide and Dolutegravir: Case report and literature review.

Upon confirming an HIV diagnosis, patients need to start life-long antiretroviral therapy (ART) as soon as possible. During HIV treatment, ART drugs can cause intolerable adverse reactions, leading to poor medication compliance, treatment failure, and advancement of the HIV stage. Herein, we report a case of AIDS intolerant to multiple antiviral drugs due to side effects that we finally stabilized with the Albuvirtide (ABT) and Dolutegravir (DTG) combination.

It was observed that while the incidence rate of depression among women decreased by an average of 0.

The relationship between social support and depression among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in China: the chain mediating role of psychological flexibility and hope.

Introduction: HIV and mental health problems are a global syndemic. One key issue is that the significant mental health problems among people vulnerable to acquiring or living with HIV have not been fully addressed.

Trends in mortality of liver disease due to hepatitis B in China from 1990 to 2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study.

Background: Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both potentially life-threatening acute and chronic liver disease. China has the world's largest burden of hepatitis B and is considered to be a major contributor toward the goal of World Health Organization (WHO) of eliminating hepatitis B virus (HBV) as a global health threat by 2030. This study aimed to analyze data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) to determine the trends in mortality of liver disease due to hepatitis B in China between 1990 and 2019 and the gap with the WHO's goal.

Aging, generational shifts, and energy consumption in urban China.

China is recognized as the largest energy consumer and is also the country with the largest and fastest-aging population. Ongoing demographic changes may reshape China's household-based energy consumption patterns because of the large gap in consumption behavior between the elderly and the young as well as varying attitudes toward the environment among generations. However, when the impact of China's aging population on energy consumption is projected, the heterogeneous cognitive norms of generations in the process of demographic transition are not well understood.

Countdown on hepatitis B elimination by 2030: the global burden of liver disease related to hepatitis B and association with socioeconomic status.
