Ecological well-being performance (EWP), a novel concept in sustainable development research, diverges from traditional ecological efficiency in terms of perspectives, core content, and driving factors. However, research on EWP remains insufficiently comprehensive, particularly the corresponding theoretical and methodological investigations into driving pathways. To address this gap, this study develops an "economy-environment-health" framework, incorporating air pollution and associated health losses into the evaluation system, and employs a two-stage Super-NSBM and Window DEA model for reevaluating EWP.

The question of whether environmental regulation fosters technological innovation and green development, as a nuanced extension of the Porter hypothesis, constitutes a focal point in contemporary research. Despite this attention, the literature often omits a multifaceted evaluation framework for green development and fails to consider multiaspectual environmental regulation and technological innovation. This study develops a comprehensive model of green total factor productivity (GTFP), situating the Chinese economy within an economy-environment-health nexus.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the changes in village clinic doctors' turnover intention following the new health care system reform (NHCSR).

Methods: All the data were obtained from three surveys conducted in 2012, 2015, and 2018 in a province in eastern China. Descriptive analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the changes in village clinic doctors' turnover intention.

Background: Part-solid nodules (PSNs) have gradually shifted to defining special clinical subtypes. Commonly, the solid portions of PSNs show various radiological morphologies, of which the corresponding pathological basis and prognosis are unclear. We conducted a radiological-pathological evaluation to determine the histopathologic basis of different consolidation radiographic morphologies related to prognosis.

Objective: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are found in a variety of malignancies and affect the growth of tumors, but few studies have addressed their role in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). We aimed to evaluate clinical features associated with TLSs in patients with LAC.

Methods And Materials: A collection of resected pulmonary nodules in patients with LAC was retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Immunotherapy is becoming a standard of care for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Checkpoint inhibitor-associated pneumonia (CIP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening event that can occur at any time during tumor immunotherapy. However, there may be differences in the radiological patterns and prognosis of CIP during different periods.

Purpose: this study attempts to identify the independent risk factors that can predict lymph node metastasis for the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and guide doctor adoption of individualized treatment for such patients.

Materials And Methods: This study was approved by the Hospital's Ethics Committee and all patients had signed informed consent forms. We retrospectively reviewed NSCLC patients who had undergone surgical resection from December 2008 to December 2013.

Hypoxic tumor microenvironment is the bottleneck of the conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and significantly weakens the overall therapeutic efficiency. Herein, versatile metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets (DBBC-UiO) comprised of bacteriochlorin ligand and Hf(µ-O)(µ-OH) clusters to address this tricky issue are designed. The resulting DBBC-UiO enables numerous superoxide anion radical (O ) generation via a type I mechanism with a 750 nm NIR-laser irradiation, part of which transforms to high toxic hydroxyl radical (OH•) and oxygen (O) through superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mediated catalytic reactions under severe hypoxic microenvironment (2% O), and the partial recycled O enhances O generation.
