Trends in parkinson's disease mortality in China from 2004 to 2021: a joinpoint analysis.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the trends of Parkinson's disease (PD) mortality rates among Chinese residents from 2004 to 2021, provide evidence for the formulation of PD prevention and control strategies to improve the quality of life among PD residents.

Methods: Demographic and sociological data such as gender, urban or rural residency and age were obtained from the National Cause of Death Surveillance Dataset from 2004 to 2021. We then analyzed the trends of PD mortality rates by Joinpoint regression.

Potential uses of auditory nerve stimulation to modulate immune responses in the inner ear and auditory brainstem.

Bioelectronic medicine uses electrical stimulation of the nervous system to improve health outcomes throughout the body primarily by regulating immune responses. This concept, however, has yet to be applied systematically to the auditory system. There is growing interest in how cochlear damage and associated neuroinflammation may contribute to hearing loss.

NosZI microbial community determined the potential of denitrification and nitrous oxide emission in river sediments of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Denitrification in river sediments is the hotspot of nitrogen removal and nosZI gene is essential for reducing nitrous oxide (NO) emissions. However, few studies tried to link nosZI communities with variations of denitrification rates in sediments along the high-elevation rivers. Here, we investigated the spatial variation of potential denitrification rates of sediments along a section (hereafter YJ) of the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
