The efficacy and safety of Longmu Tang granule for the treatment of atopic dermatitis: study protocol for a single-centred, double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing skin disease that has long-term physical and mental health impacts on children with this condition. Current treatments mainly include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-allergic interventions, systemic therapy, and recently emerging target-focused agents. However, these treatments have limited effectiveness and unwanted side effects.

The Impact of Medical Insurance on Household Stock Market Participation: Evidence From China Household Finance Survey.

This paper explores the impact of medical insurance on the possibility of household participation in the stock market and the portfolio share of equity, applying Probit, and Tobit models with the data from China Household Finance Survey (CHFS). The empirical results highlight that participating in medical insurance can significantly increase the possibility of households participating in the stock market and the portfolio share of equity, and have passed the robustness tests, including propensity score matching (PSM), altering estimation methods, replacing explained variables, and eliminating samples. Besides, heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of medical insurance on household stock market participation is more significant in eastern region, urban areas, and households with higher income level.

Formation of different shell structures in lithium-rich layered oxides and their influence on electrochemical properties.

A lithium-rich layered oxide with different shell structures was synthesized by a simple wet-chemical surface deposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and other techniques were applied to characterize the crystal structure, morphology, and micro-structure of the samples. The surface of the lithium-rich layered oxide can successively produce island-like spinel, ultra-thin spinel, and thick two-phase (spinel and amorphous manganese oxides) separation shell layers with an increase in the coating amount.
