UnknownPrevalence of tobacco dependence and associated factors in China: Findings from nationwide China Health Literacy Survey during 2018-19.

Background

Tobacco dependence is the key barrier to successful smoking cessation. However, little is known about its prevalence, sociodemographic characteristics and determinants. We aimed to estimate the prevalence, associated factors and burden of tobacco dependence in China.

UnknownMethane and nitrous oxide budget for Chinese natural terrestrial ecosystems.
China's natural terrestrial ecosystems (NTEs) are significant sources and sinks of methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O), two potent non-CO₂ greenhouse gases. This article reviews CH₄ and N₂O inventories for China's NTEs, derived from site-specific extrapolation and models, to elucidate their spatio...

UnknownThe experience of tobacco withdrawal symptoms among current smokers and ex-smokers in the general population: Findings from nationwide China Health Literacy Survey during 2018-19.

Objective

To clarify the extent to which smokers in the general population experience tobacco withdrawal symptoms and whether such experience differs in those who continue to smoke and those who stopped smoking.

Methods

We included relevant questions in the nationally-representative C...

UnknownClinical practice guideline for transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia (2021 Edition).
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is highly prevalent among older men, impacting on their quality of life, sexual function, and genitourinary health, and has become an important global burden of disease. Transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate (TUPKP) is one of the foremost surgical proce...

UnknownExtracting the femtometer structure of strange baryons using the vacuum polarization effect.
One of the fundamental goals of particle physics is to gain a microscopic understanding of the strong interaction. Electromagnetic form factors quantify the structure of hadrons in terms of charge and magnetization distributions. While the nucleon structure has been investigated extensively, data on...

UnknownProbing CP symmetry and weak phases with entangled double-strange baryons.
Though immensely successful, the standard model of particle physics does not offer any explanation as to why our Universe contains so much more matter than antimatter. A key to a dynamically generated matter-antimatter asymmetry is the existence of processes that violate the combined charge conjugat...

UnknownUltrahigh-energy gamma-ray emission associated with black hole-jet systems.
Black holes (BHs), one of the most intriguing objects in the universe, can manifest themselves through electromagnetic radiation initiated by the accretion flow. Some stellar-mass BHs drive relativistic jets when accreting matter from their companion stars, forming microquasars. Non-thermal emission...

UnknownExpanded encyclopaedias of DNA elements in the human and mouse genomes.
The human and mouse genomes contain instructions that specify RNAs and proteins and govern the timing, magnitude, and cellular context of their production. To better delineate these elements, phase III of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project has expanded analysis of the cell and tissue ...

UnknownPerspectives on ENCODE.
The Encylopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project launched in 2003 with the long-term goal of developing a comprehensive map of functional elements in the human genome. These included genes, biochemical regions associated with gene regulation (for example, transcription factor binding sites, open chr...
