China's innovation and research contribution to combating neglected diseases: a secondary analysis of China's public research data.

Background: Many emerging and developing economies, such as China, have played the important roles in combating global neglected diseases (NDs). This study aims to explore China's public landscape of research projects and funding of NDs and to provide empirical evidence on promoting China's participation in addressing global health priorities that disproportionately affect developing countries.

Methods: We systematically sourced China's public funding information from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and provincial science and technology agency websites up to August 16, 2019.

Reproductive Toxicity and Teratogenicity of Fluorene-9-bisphenol on Chinese Medaka (): A Study from Laboratory to Field.

Fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF), a bisphenol A (BPA) substitute, has been increasingly used as a material in syntheses of polymers that are widely used in road markings, artificial tracks, coating floors, building paints, etc., increasing the likelihood of BHPF contamination in the aquatic environment due to its release from the products. However, to date, it is unknown whether it may have actual impacts on fish in real environments.

Residential greenness and prevalence of chronic kidney disease: Findings from the China National Survey of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Green space is associated with many health benefits, but evidence concerning the effects on chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been investigated. Using the nationwide cross-sectional study of 47,204 adults from the China National Survey of Chronic Kidney Disease dataset and residential greenness assessed by the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), this study evaluated the association between residential greenness and CKD prevalence. An interquartile range increase in NDVI (0.

The Role of Interpersonal Relationships and Household Socioeconomic Status in the Association Between Sexual Orientation and Health: A Moderated Mediation Analysis.

Emerging studies indicate that sexual minority youths experience worse health than their heterosexual peers, but few studies have examined the intervening mechanisms linking sexual orientation and health status. This study hypothesizes that interpersonal relationships, moderated by household socioeconomic status (HSES), are important mediators in the association between sexual orientation and health status. A total of 49,084 youths, consisting of 9499 youths who identified as sexual minority individuals and 39,585 youths who identified as heterosexual, were sampled from a national study on sexual and reproductive health conducted in China.

An investigation of pharmacovigilance and reporting of adverse drug reactions in hospitals: a cross-sectional study in China.

Background: Pharmacovigilance is a science that plays a significant role in reducing ADRs and helps predict adverse reactions to drugs in community. To safely use drugs in treatment and prevention of disease, adverse drug reaction has been paid more attention.

Objectives: To evaluate the future needs of existing systems, the paper investigated the current state of pharmacovigilance and the reporting of ADR in Chinese hospitals.

Sexual and reproductive health and attitudes towards sex of young adults in China.

Background: The study aimed to discuss the importance of socioeconomic status (SES) and family sexual attitudes and investigate their association with sexual and reproductive health in a large sample of Chinese young adults.

Methods: We analysed a large sample of 53 508 youth aged 15-24 years from an internet-based survey from November 2019 to February 2020. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to examine the association between SES, family sexual attitudes, and sexual and reproductive health (SRH), stratified by sex and adjusting for potential confounders.

The relationship between urban form and heat island intensity along the urban development gradients.

There is an increasing demand for urban form optimization to mitigate urban heat island (UHI) effect under the background of global climate change and urbanization. However, there is still a lack of understanding about how the relationship between urban form and UHI intensity changes under diverse urbanization contexts. This study aims to show the change patterns of the relationship between urban form and UHI intensity along the urban development gradient based upon the investigation of a total of 150 urban areas in the Jing-Jin-Ji region in China in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015.
