- - This study examined smoking prevalence across China, addressing the lack of comprehensive data by analyzing populations from various regions in 2022 using a Bayesian geostatistical model.
- - Findings revealed significant regional differences, with higher smoking rates and exposure to secondhand smoke in western and northeastern areas, particularly in Tibet, Shanghai, and Yunnan.
- - The research produced detailed prediction maps of smoking risks, which can inform effective policies for smoking cessation and raise awareness of the geographic disparities in smoking prevalence.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on behavior in a rat model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: A total of 45 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: the control, CUMS, and CUMS plus EA groups. Rats in the CUMS and EA groups were subjected to a 3-week CUMS condition, while rats in the EA group received EA at the Baihui (GV 20) acupoint (2 Hz, 0.
The previous study conducted on the as-cast Mg-2Y-1Zn-0.6Zr alloy showed that the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the as-cast alloy were 245 MPa, 135 MPa and 14.4%, respectively.
