The data on the prevalence of kidney stones in mainland China are still lacking. We performed the present meta-analysis to assess the stone prevalence in mainland China from 1990 through 2016. A total of 18 articles were included. The pooled overall prevalence was 7.54% (95% CI, 5.94-9.15). The prevalence in age groups of <20 years, 20-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, and 60 years and older was 0.27%, 3.15%, 5.96%, 8.18%, 9.14%, and 9.68%, respectively, showing that it increased with age. Moreover, the prevalence was 10.34% in males and 6.62% in females, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.63 [95% CI: 1.51-1.76], indicating that males are more likely to suffer from this disease than females. However, urban areas (6.03%, 95% CI: 3.39-8.68) and rural areas (7.48%, 95% CI: 3.39-11.57) did not differ in the stone prevalence rate (OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.42-1.68). The prevalence in the year groups of 1991-2000, 2001-2010, and 2011 to date was 5.95%, 8.86%, and 10.63%, respectively, which indicated an increasing trend. Further high-quality surveys throughout mainland China are needed to confirm these findings.

Although microenvironments surrounding single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been widely demonstrated to have a remarkable effect on their catalytic performances, it remains unclear whether the local structure beyond the secondary coordination shells works as well or not. Herein, we employed a series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well-defined and tunable second-beyond coordination spheres as model SAC electrocatalysts to discuss the influence of long-distance structure on the ammonia synthesis from nitrate, which were synthesized and denoted as Cu-NDI-X (X = NMe, H, F). It is first experimentally confirmed that the remote substitution of function groups beyond the secondary coordination sphere can remarkably affect the activity of ammonia synthesis.

The single-atom skeletal editing technology is an efficient method for constructing molecular skeletons, which has broad coverage in synthetic chemistry. However, its potential in the preparation of energetic heterocyclic molecules is grossly underexplored. In this work, an unexpected one-step reaction for the synthesis of novel energetic molecules was discovered which combines single-atom skeletal editing, -dinitromethyl functionalization, and zwitterionization in one step.
