This study evaluated the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (APPCAP) in China using 2000-2023 data. The average annual PM concentration dropped from 46.11 ± 16.18 µg/m to 31.75 ± 14.22 µg/m (P < 0.05) after APPCAP, with components showing a similar decline. Temporal analysis via Mann-Kendall test indicated a decreasing trend (Z < 0, P < 0.05), seasonally peaking in winter and lowest in summer. Spatially, APPCAP reduced concentration distribution, with key regions improving but areas like Shandong and Henan still facing severe pollution. The main PM driver shifted from human (e.g., population density) to meteorological (e.g., temperature) factors post-APPCAP, and anthropogenic influence varied across regions. In summary, APPCAP has curbed PM pollution, yet SO, NO, and NH remain relatively high, and the increasing human impact in central and southeastern China demands attention in future policies.

Background: Severe postoperative complications still occur following hepatectomy among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). There is a need to identify high-risk patients for severe complications to enhance patient safety. We sought to evaluate the combined impact of pre- and postoperative albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score and Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index trends to predict severe complications after HCC resection.

Introduction: Metonymy has gained increasing attention for its role in shaping language, thought, and communication. Despite its prominence, the thematic evolution and future directions of metonymy research remain underexplored. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing metonymy research published between 2000 and 2023, providing a comprehensive overview of its key trends and emerging themes.

Black carbon in major global source areas from 2000 to 2023: Spatiotemporal variation, vertical distribution, and extreme case analysis.

Black carbon (BC) emissions in regions such as Eastern China (EC), the Indian Subcontinent (IS), Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and Central South America (CSA) notably affect global air quality, climate change, and human health, owing to intensive anthropogenic activities and biomass burning. Using modern-era retrospective analysis for research and applications, version 2 reanalysis data and emission inventories, we quantified the long-term spatiotemporal variations and vertical distributions of atmospheric BC and anthropogenic emissions across various sectors (2000-2023). In addition, we explored the formation mechanisms of extreme cases in representative cities (such as Beijing, Delhi, Luanda, and Sucre).

Background: The association between preoperative imaging and postoperative pathological tumor size disparity, and cancer-specific survival (CSS) among patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. We sought to evaluate this association and identify predictors of size disparity.

Method: Patients undergoing curative-intent hepatectomy for HCC (2000-2023) were identified from an international, multi-institutional database.
