Objective: Arthritis poses a significant public health challenge, contributing to increased healthcare resource utilization and reduced quality of life. C-reactive protein (CRP), a key inflammatory biomarker, plays a critical role in monitoring disease progression and guiding health promotion strategies. This study aims to investigate the association between CRP levels and all-cause mortality in Chinese arthritis patients, highlighting its implications for public health education and intervention programs.

However, climate change might also interact with management practices to alter NO emission and emission factors (EFs), adding further uncertainties to estimating mitigation potentials. Here, we developed a new hybrid modeling framework that integrates a machine learning model with an ensemble of eight process-based models to project EFs under different climate and nitrogen policy scenarios.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cytoreductive surgery for patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer by meta-analysis.
Methods: All relevant studies were systematically searched through The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) up to December 2019.
Epithelial sodium channels are disputed in renal cell carcinoma, but its functions and effects on clinical outcomes are not well understood. IHC and PT-PCR were used to detect ENaCα, β, γ, AVPR2, AQP2, and MR expression in the primary tumor and peritumoral tissues. GEPIA online tool was used to analyze the relationship between epithelial sodium channels and clinical-pathological characteristics.
