AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 245 death cases from advanced schistosomiasis japonica in the Dongting Lake area between 1985 and 1990.
- Patients had an average survival of 5.16 years, with those having ascitic type experiencing shorter lifespans, while splenomegalic patients showed improved longevity after spleen removal.
- Among the cases, 43.64% tested positive for HBsAg, and 19.18% had liver cancer, with a high HBV infection rate of 61.70% in the cancer group.
Article Abstract
This study collected records of 245 cases of death due to advanced schistosomiasis japonica in the eastern Dongting Lake area between 1985 and 1990. The mean survival of the patients was 5.16 years. The patients with ascitic type had a shorter expected life while the life span of splenomegalic type patient markedly improved after splenectomy. The HBsAg positive rate was 43.64%; the rate of those complicated with carcinoma of liver was 19.18%. The latter group had a HBV infection rate as high as 61.70%.

The stepped paddy fields (SPFs) are important for food security and sustainable development. The unique spatial structure and complex hydrological processes in this system make it difficult to understand the migration of pollutants. In this study, microplastic pollution was investigated in the water and soil from Ziquejie SPFs, China.

Neonicotinoid pesticides (NNs) are increasingly used in agriculture, which may pose significant threats to aquatic organisms in receiving rivers. However, no studies have explored their entire process from application and transport to receptors within river basins. Here, we estimated the usage and loss of NNs in the Dongting Lake Basin in China using modeling approaches, and assessed NNs-associated aquatic ecological risks.

The detrimental impact of emerging pollutants, specifically microplastics (MPs), on the ecological environment are receiving increasing attention. Freshwater ecosystems serve as both repositories for terrestrial microplastic (MP) sources and conduits for their subsequent entry into marine environments. Consequently, it is imperative to rigorously investigate the toxicological effects of MPs on freshwater ecosystems.

In the context of global warming and intensified human activities, the loss and fragmentation of species habitats have been exacerbated. In order to clarify the trends in the current and future suitable wintering areas for hooded cranes (), the MaxEnt model was applied to predict the distribution patterns and trends of hooded cranes based on 94 occurrence records and 23 environmental variables during the wintering periods from 2015 to 2024. The results indicated the following.
