Background: The association between greenness exposure and semen quality and the underlying mechanism are unclear.
Objectives: To assess the association between greenness exposure and semen quality and whether the association is mediated by air pollutant exposure.
Methods: We collected data from 10,273 men in Zhejiang, China, whose wives received assisted reproductive technology from 2015 to 2021.
Purpose: The impact of air pollution on semen quality has been confirmed, yet the joint effect remains unclear. We evaluate the individual and joint associations of particulate (PM and PM) and gaseous pollutants (NO, SO, O and CO) with semen quality.
Methods: We included 5,114 men in this study from 2014 to 2022.
Background: Most prostate cancers(PCa) rely on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for biopsy confirmation, but the accuracy needs to be further improved. We need to continue to develop PCa prediction model with high clinical application value.
Methods: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer data were obtained from the Chinese National Clinical Medical Science Data Center for retrospective analysis.
Objectives: Understanding the prevalence and genotype distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) is critical for managing HPV vaccination programmes. Using a retrospective cross-sectional study, we examined long-term trends of HPV prevalence in Wenzhou, a coastal city in China.
Setting And Participants: Cervical exfoliated cells were collected from 127 938 women who underwent cervical cancer screening at the gynaecology outpatient clinic of Wenzhou People's Hospital from January 2011 to December 2020.

Background: In China, the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer are increasing. In this study, we analyzed the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of prostate cancer incidence and mortality in China and explored the potential associations of socioeconomic, ecological, and meteorologic conditions.
Methods: Spatial-temporal scan statistics were used to analyze the spatial-temporal patterns of prostate cancer in China from 2012 to 2016.

The high incidence and mortality and the increasing trend of prostate cancer has been one of the public health issues in many countries and regions. Meanwhile, the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of prostate cancer implies that lifestyle and ecological changes may be associated with prostate cancer, however, sufficient evidence is still lacking. This paper tried to reveal the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of prostate cancer in China and explore the potential associations with related socioeconomic and natural condition factors.

However, the available evidence of association needs to be strengthened, and some studies have conflicting results.

This study determined whether better environmental quality improved semen quality in this region. We recorded semen quality data from 22 962 infertile males from January 2014 to November 2019 at the Center for Reproductive Health of The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (Wenzhou, China).

Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine disrupting chemical, is becoming a focus of studies and receiving increasing attention. Because of its wide use in food packaging materials, receipt paper, dental sealant and other products, people contact it through the skin, respiratory tract, digestive system and other routes. A large number of studies at home and abroad have shown that BPA exposure can adversely affect male reproductive function, including semen quality, spermatogenesis, sperm epigenetic inheritance, etc.
