In mainland China, cancer registration relies on household-registered populations, overlooking migrant populations. Estimating cervical cancer incidence among permanent residents, including migrants, offers a more accurate representation of the true burden. The data from 487 cancer registries across China in 2016 were analyzed using a Bayesian spatial regression model with the integrated nested Laplace approximation-stochastic partial differential equation method.

Given the prevalence of health misinformation, it is essential to develop interventions to correct misinformation and reduce its negative influence. Emerging research has investigated the use of narratives as both prebunking and debunking strategies, but the findings are mixed regarding their effectiveness. This systematic scoping review aimed to examine the role of narratives in countering health misinformation, drawing on evidence from 19 studies.

Winter and spring temperatures have commonly been used to explain spring phenology shifts, but we still lack a solid understanding of the effects of interactions between conditions in different seasons. This study utilizes normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and meteorological data to examine the effects of changes in winter and spring temperatures and precipitation on the start of the vegetation growing season (SOS) at high latitudes in China from 1982 to 2015.

Although numerous fluorescent probes have been developed to image autophagy, these environment-responsive probes suffer from inherent deficiencies such as inaccuracy and limited versatility. Here, we present a modular macrocyclic amphiphile Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) platform (SC6A12C/NCM, SN), constructed through the amphiphilic assembly of sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SC6A12C) with N-cetylmorpholine (NCM) for lysosome targeting.

These two protocols feature great scalability, functional group tolerance, and relatively mild reaction conditions. Notably, the robust methodologies could also provide valuable opportunities for assembling azepine-fused benzothiophene, indole-fused benzothiophene, and indole-fused benzimidazole, which may have potential applications in the synthesis of related pharmaceuticals or polymeric materials.

We first explored the efficacy of single-molecule nanopore DNA sequencing in the early diagnosis of suspected TB patients and analyzed the advantages in differentiating and diagnosing MTB and non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM).
Methods: In this cohort study, we reviewed the clinical data of suspected TB patients admitted from December 1, 2021, through April 15, 2022.
Acute Q fever, caused by , is a zoonotic infection presenting with non-specific symptoms such as high fever, severe headache and myalgia, making it challenging to diagnose. Traditional diagnostic methods often fall short due to their time-consuming nature and limited sensitivity. A 26-year-old male presented with severe headache, persistent high fever and nausea following a hiking trip.

A common objective in spatial transcriptomics data analysis is to identify spatially variable genes within predefined cell types or regions within the tissue. However, these regions are often implicitly one-dimensional, making standard two-dimensional coordinate-based methods less effective as they overlook the underlying tissue organization.

Although photocatalytic disinfection can avoid secondary pollution and other shortcomings compared to traditional disinfection methods, its development is seriously hindered by poor charge separation and transfer efficiency. Herein, we design a Zn-NC (single Zn atoms embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon) bridged ZnO/CN Z-scheme heterojunction (ZnO/Zn-NC/CN) with robust interface contact by a multi-interfacial engineering strategy to achieve highly efficient separation and transfer of charge. Experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that the tightly integrated interface and excellent electrical conductivity of Zn-NC electron bridges ensure effective transfer of photogenerated charge carriers.
