Background: The purpose of the study was to compare the incidence of urinary stones of She minority and Han nationality and analyze the composition of urinary stones.
Methods: The study was performed in 381 cases with 181 She minority and 200 Han nationality. The composition of stones was mainly analyzed by infrared absorption spectrum. The incidence of urinary stones at different ages, different gender and different parts was compared between She minority and Han nationality.
Results: The urinary stone incidence of males was about twice as high as in women in She minority and Han nationality, and the incidence reached its maximum between the ages of 41 and 60, but the incidence decreased after 60 years of age. The distribution characteristics of urethra stones between She minority and Han nationality showed a significant difference (p < 0.05). The differences of carbonate apatite and struvite in male and female were statistically significant between She minority and Han nationality (p < 0.05). The level of Ca2+ and HPO42- in serum showed significant difference between She minority and Han nationality (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: According to these results, we put forward corresponding preventive measures of urinary stones in She minority.

Background: Currently, there is no national consensus on how to identify individuals with probable dementia in community-based settings. With the rapid increase of aging populations-particularly ethnic minorities-there is an urgent need to create a process to effectively identify individuals with probable dementia to adequately plan for dementia care. The aim of this study was to evaluate a dementia screening approach applied to a recent immigrant community, Korean Americans.

We examined the impact of ethnic essentialism on psychological compatibility among minority and Han Chinese college students and investigated the roles of ethnic identity and self-construal. A moderated mediator analysis was used and a multigroup comparison of the moderated mediator model across ethnic groups was conducted. The results indicate that ethnic essentialism significantly and negatively predicts psychological compatibility.

This paper presents the preparation of the parental experimental alloy, featuring a standard composition of TiYZrFeNiMn, via the vacuum induction melting technique. Subsequently, the TiYZrFeNiMn alloy, with an addition of 2 wt% Ni, underwent mechanical ball milling to yield a TiFe-based composite for experimental purposes. The results of the experimental tests indicate that the composite alloy's phase composition comprises the TiFe primary phase, with a minor quantity of ZrMn phase segregated on the surface of the primary TiFe phase, as well as Ni phase.
