Environmental Kuznets Curve: Empirical Relationship between Energy Consumption and Economic Growth in Upper-Middle-Income Regions of China.

This paper examines the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in upper-middle-income regions of China with the panel data of 21 provinces from 2000 to 2017. The influence mechanism of socio-economic factors on the EKC of these regions is also detected. The results show that the energy consumption EKC fitting map in these regions conforms to the classical environmental Kuznets curve, which is an inverted "N" type, and the inflection point is ahead and more accurate after adding spatial effects.

Deleted in breast cancer 1 as a potential prognostic biomarker in human cancers: a pooled analysis of 2,254 patients.

Background: Deleted in breast cancer 1 (DBC1) is believed to be involved in human cancers. However, it is still uncertain whether DBC1 expression can be regarded as a prognostic factor in patients with various cancers. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relationship between high levels of DBC1 and prognosis in tumor patients.
