Digital transformation and enterprise low-carbon innovation: A new perspective from innovation motivation.

From the perspective of innovation motivation, low-carbon innovation is divided into substantive low-carbon innovation and strategic low-carbon innovation. On this basis, this study empirically investigates the impact and mechanism of digital transformation on enterprise low-carbon innovation using data from China's A-share listed enterprises from 2005 to 2019. The results show that digital transformation promotes the overall level of enterprise low-carbon innovation, substantial low-carbon innovation, and strategic low-carbon innovation, with a more significant impact on strategic low-carbon innovation.

Unimolecular Cascaded Multienzyme Conjugates Modulate the Microenvironment of Diabetic Wound to Promote Healing.

An abnormal microenvironment underlies poor healing in chronic diabetic chronic wounds. However, effectively modulating the microenvironment of the diabetic wound remains a great challenge due to sustained oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Here, we present a unimolecular enzyme-polymer conjugate that demonstrates excellent multienzymatic cascade activities.

Green credit and low-carbon development in China: Fresh evidence on spatial spillover insights.

The promulgation and execution of green credit (GC) policies have had a significant influence on the development of the economy and society, and their impact on low-carbon development (LCD) needs to be taken seriously. On the basis of elaborating the mechanism of the role of GC on LCD, this study constructs a panel fixed effects (FE) model to test the direct impact of GC on LCD by using Chinese provincial-level data from 2007 to 2020. An intermediary effect model is constructed to investigate its indirect effects.

Does digital finance enhance industrial green total factor productivity? Theoretical mechanism and empirical test.

The development and application of digital finance has brought profound changes to the real economy, and its impact on industrial green total factor productivity is worthy of attention and evaluation. The industrial green total factor productivity of each province in China is measured by using EBM-ML index with the provincial panel data collected from 2011 to 2020. The panel fixed effects model is used to estimate the impact of digital finance on industrial green total factor productivity.

How does digital economy affect green total factor productivity? Evidence from China.

To date, digital economy has become an emerging driving force of economic growth in various countries. To further explore the green value of digital economy, full array polygon graphic index method and Global Malmquist productivity index are used to evaluate China's digital economy development and green total factor productivity respectively. Based on a comprehensive explanation of the influence mechanism, spatial econometric model and intermediary effect model are constructed to test the spatial spillover effect and transmission mechanism between digital economy and green total factor productivity.

The impact of national values on the prevention and control of COVID-19: An empirical study.

The outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of 2019 has become the most devastating public health event of the 21st century. The different performances of governments and people in different countries and regions show that national values may play an important role in the prevention and control of COVID-19. Based on data from the seventh wave of World Values Survey (WVS-7) and the Human Freedom Index (HFI) report in 2020, three national value factors are extracted in this manuscript, including religious belief, government satisfaction and individual freedom.

The "Local Neighborhood" Effect of Environmental Regulation on Green Innovation Efficiency: Evidence from China.

Current research has generally concentrated on the motivations of environmental policies on local green innovation while ignoring the effect they may have on green innovation in neighboring places. To obtain a thorough understanding and explanation of the influencing mechanism of environmental regulation (ER) on green innovation efficiency (GIE), the super-slack based measure-data envelopment analysis (Super-SBM-DEA) method was applied to evaluate Chinese provinces' GIE, a spatial Durbin model was developed to evaluate the effect of ER on GIE from the perspective of the "local neighborhood" effect, and a mediating effect model was built to analyze the transmission mechanism of the neighborhood effect of ER on GIE. The study indicated that China's regional GIE is high in the east and low in the west, with large spatial variability and significant positive spatial clustering characteristics.

The impact of land price distortion on green development efficiency: mechanism discussion and empirical test.

Based on the panel data of 30 Chinese provinces, the Cobb-Douglas production function and GML index were constructed to measure the degree of land price distortion and green development efficiency, respectively, in China, and the System Generalised Method of Moments model was employed to explore the relationship between land price distortion and green development efficiency, and a mediating effect model was further constructed to analyse the transmission mechanism. The results show that, first, land price in China is characterised by a negative distortion, but the degree of negative distortion tends to decrease after 2010. Second, land price distortion significantly inhibits the improvement of green development efficiency; this conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests, and land price distortion significantly promotes the progress of green technology, while significantly inhibiting the improvement of green technology efficiency.

Evodiamine Induces Apoptosis in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 Cells by Suppressing NOD1 Signal Pathway.

Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) is a lethal malignancy with poor prognosis and easy recurrence. There are few agents with minor toxic side effects that can be used for treatment of HCC. Evodiamine (Evo), one of the major bioactive components derived from fructus , has long been shown to exert anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity by suppressing activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).

Contralateral C7 Nerve Root Transfer for Function Recovery in Adults: A Meta-analysis.

Background: Root avulsion to all 5 roots of the brachial plexus is a common presentation and keeps a major reconstructive challenge. The contralateral C7 (CC7) nerve transfer has been used in treating brachial plexus avulsion injury (BPAI) since 1986. However, the effectiveness of the procedure remains a subject of controversy.

An Analysis of Paravertebral Ossification in Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement: A Novel Classification Based on Computed Tomography.

Objective: Cervical artificial disc replacement (CADR) is a new technology in cervical spine surgery. However, CADR may result in paravertebral ossification (PO) after surgery and affect the mobility of the related spinal segments. The present widely used assessment method based on X-ray tomography cannot provide the position information of PO, and also PO detection rates by X-ray are low.

Lumbar spine superior-level facet joint violations: percutaneous versus open pedicle screw insertion using intraoperative 3-dimensional computer-assisted navigation.

Background: Percutaneous pedicle screw use has a high rate of cranial facet joint violations (FVs) because of the facet joint being indirectly visualized. Computer-assisted navigation shows the anatomic structures clearly, and may help to lower the rate of FVs during pedicle screw insertion. This study used computed tomography (CT) to evaluate and compare the incidence of FVs between percutaneous and open surgeries employing computer-assisted navigation for the implantation of pedicle screw instrumentation during lumbar fusions.
