    Abstract Background: The health condition during childhood has been shown to influence an individual's health and socioeconomic status in adulthood. Understanding the concentration and persistence patterns in children's healthcare expenditures is crucial for providing risk protection and promoting the well-being of children. Studies regarding the concentration and persistence of health expenditures have focused mainly on elderly individuals in developed regions. To gain insights into factors that contribute to childhood health expenditures, this article examined children with high costs (that is, in the top 10% of the expenditure distribution) and explored the characteristics and spending patterns that distinguished them from other patients in the context of the largest developing economy-China.
    Methods: By using a unique individual-level administrative claims dataset over a 5-year observation period, this study identified spending concentrations and the proportion of children whose costs remained high over five years using a linear probability model and logit regression analysis.
    Results: Teenagers from 12 to 17 years old were more likely to persist in the high-cost group than any other age groups in the study. Pediatric complex chronic conditions and other severe health ailments were predictive factors for entry into and persistence in the high-cost category. More than half of the total health expenditures were attributed to children in the top 10% expenditure group. In addition, risk protection and healthcare insurance support for high-cost children was found to be inadequate, particularly for children from low-income families.
    Conclusions: Healthcare support for children impacts individual development and family financial status. This study described the characteristics and spending patterns of children patients in the largest developing country. The fact that over half of total expenditures are concentrated toward 10% of patients makes it valuable to consider relevant support for this group, especially for families whose medical costs are higher than income.

    Abstract In this paper, a one-step hot extrusion dual-stage solution treatment method is employed to fabricate high-strength and tough T-shaped complex cross-section 7055 (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr) alloy profiles, and a detailed investigation is conducted on the microstructure and mechanical properties. The results indicate that the comprehensive mechanical properties of the 7055 aluminum extruded alloy using the two-stage solution aging treatment are excellent. This is particularly evident in the balance between strength and ductility, where outstanding strength is accompanied by a plasticity that is maintained at 13.2%. During the extrusion process, the deformation textures are mainly composed of brass and copper, forming a 15.1% recrystallization texture Cube. In addition, the equilibrium phase η(MgZn

    Abstract Rapid and sensitive detection of foodborne pathogens in food products is paramount for ensuring food safety and public health. In the ongoing effort to tackle this issue, detection methods are continually researched and upgraded to achieve rapidity, sensitivity, portability, and cost-effectiveness. This review addresses the critical need for improved technique by focusing on Raman spectroscopy-based microfluidic platforms, which have shown potential in revolutionizing the field of foodborne pathogen analysis offering point-of-care diagnosis and multiplex detection. The key problem lies in the persistent threat of compromised food quality and public health due to inadequate pathogen detection. The review elucidates the various trapping strategies employed in a microfluidic platform, including optical trapping, electrical trapping, mechanical trapping, and acoustic trapping for the capture of microbial cells. Subsequently, the review delves into the key aspects of the application of microbial detection in food products, highlighting recent advances and challenges in the field. The integrated technique allows point-of-care application assessment, which is an attractive quality for in-line and real-time detection of foodborne pathogens. However, the application of the technique in food products is limited and requires further research to combat the complexity of the food matrix, reduced costs of production, and ensure real-time use for diverse pathogens. Ultimately, this review aims to propel advancements in microbial detection, thus promoting enhanced food safety through state-of-the-art technologies.

    Abstract Objectives: Recently, radial cartilage incision (first-stage) at an early age combined with free auricular composite tissue grafting (second-stage) can effectively correct the concha-type microtia with the moderate or severe folded cartilage in the middle and upper third auricle, but radial cartilage incision's effects on the growth of the ear remain to be determined. The authors aimed to evaluate the effects of radial cartilage incision in young rabbits model.
    Methods: Ten New Zealand white rabbits were included in our experiment. Two ears of each rabbit were divided randomly into two groups. The experimental group was operated with radial cartilage incision, and no intervention was given to the control group. The ear width, length, and perimeter were noted every two weeks. Auricular surface area was noted at 4 and 22 weeks old. The repeated measures ANOVA was used to describe ears' growth trend. A paired-sample's t test is conducted to test whether there are significant differences among the variables through the SPSS25.0 software.
    Results: The growth tendencies of the ear length, width, and perimeter were observed and analyzed. The growth curves of the experimental ears were similar to that of the control. There was no significant difference in the increased ratio of surface area among the two groups. The cartilage of the experimental ears showed no change in biomechanical properties compared to that of control group.
    Conclusion: This study shows that radial cartilage incision at an early age does not influence the growth of rabbit ear length, width, perimeter, and surface area and also does not change the biomechanical properties of the cartilage.
