The surge in demand for experimental monkeys has led to a rapid increase in their costs. Consequently, there is a growing need for a cost-effective model of Parkinson disease (PD) that exhibits all core clinical and pathologic phenotypes. Evolutionarily, tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) are closer to primates in comparison with rodents and could be an ideal species for modeling PD.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines carbon emissions from interprovincial transport in China between 2007 and 2021, focusing on the structural characteristics and interactions within a correlation network of emissions.
  • - Key findings show that eastern provinces, like Shanghai and Beijing, are central in the network, mainly receiving emissions, while western provinces emit more to others, revealing a segmentation of roles across different plates in the network.
  • - The analysis identifies important correlation patterns and network influences, highlighting barriers to interregional collaboration for emission reduction and the roles played by various structural and external factors such as government policies and urbanization.

The implementation of a carbon emission trading pilot policy has a positive impact on sustainable development but may lead to pollution transfer by enterprises, thereby affecting sustainability. In this study, based on the panel data of Chinese-listed companies from 2007 to 2017, the carbon emission trading pilot policy was treated as a quasi-natural experiment and the Difference-in-Differences model was used to analyze whether these companies engaged in pollution transfer under the policy shock. The results indicated: first, carbon emission trading pilots lead to pollution transfer within mainland China but not across international borders; second, the power and aviation industries exhibited significant pollution transfer phenomena, and the policy also encouraged pollution transfer by non-green transformation enterprises; third, regional heterogeneity further showed that the central region showed no signs of pollution transfer and instead experienced pollution inflow, while the eastern region exhibited significant pollution transfer.

  • Intravenous (IV) iron is crucial for treating iron deficiency anemia (IDA) when oral iron isn't effective or safe; FDI and FCM are two IV formulations that have been compared for safety and cost-effectiveness.* -
  • A simulation model in China revealed that patients using FDI required fewer infusions and incurred lower overall costs compared to FCM, saving about RMB 206 on iron procurement and administration.* -
  • FDI not only resulted in cost savings but also improved patients' quality of life by reducing the incidence of hypophosphatemia-related fatigue, making it the preferred treatment option over FCM.*

Presently, China is actively endorsing the pilot initiative for the remunerative use and trading of emission. By examining the operation and efficacy of emission trading in the context of water pollution control, one can contribute to the advancement and refinement of this system, thereby facilitating the attainment of regional pollution reduction, carbon reduction, and high-quality development objectives. In pursuit of this objective, we develop a theoretical framework for the local government and sewage enterprises evolutionary game of water pollution control, which includes two scenarios without considering and considering emission trading for studying the influencing factors and evolution trajectory of the game subject's.

As the six central provinces account for 23% of total national carbon emissions (CE), research into the decoupling status of their economic growth (EG) and carbon emissions is critical to achieving the Dual Carbon Goals and the Rise of Central China Plan. This research initially examines the decoupling status between CE and EG using the Tapio decoupling model, based on energy consumption (EC) dataset from six central provinces in China between 2000 and 2019. The decoupling index (DI) is then divided into five decoupling drivers using the LMDI method.
