    Abstract Background: With the growing challenge of an aging population, emerging technologies are increasingly being integrated into the production, organization, and delivery of aged care services. Geographic Information System (GIS), a computer-based tool for spatial information analysis and processing, has made significant strides in the allocation of care recources and service delivery for older adults, a notably vulnerable group. Despite its growing importance, cross-disciplinary literature reviews on this theme are scare. This scoping review was conducted to encapsulate the advancements and discern the future trajectory of GIS applications in aged care services.
    Methods: A comprehensive search across nine databases yielded 5941 articles. Adhering to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, 61 articles were selected for a detailed analysis.
    Results: The 61 articles span from 2003 to 2022, with a notable increase in publications since 2018, comprising 41 articles (67% of the total) published between 2018-2022. Developed countries contributed 66% of the papers, with 45% focusing on accessibility issues. In the domain of aged care services, GIS has been predominantly utilized for model construction, mapping, and site selection, with a growing emphasis on addressing the unique needs of different subgroups of older adults.
    Conclusion: The past two decades have seen substantial growth in the application of GIS in aged care services, reflecting its increasing importance in this field. This scoping review not only charts the historical development of GIS applications in aged care services but also underscores the need for innovative research approaches. Future directions should emphasize the integration of GIS with diverse methodologies to address the heterogeneous needs of older adults and improve the overall delivery of aged care services. Such advancements in GIS applications have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency, accessibility, and quality of care for the aging population.

    Abstract Background: Home-and community-based integrated care has been developing rapidly in China in recent years. However, empirical research on the demand from older people is insufficient. Most studies have failed to identify or differentiate the heterogeneity of older people, resulting in poor understanding of their needs and fragmentation of services. This study seeks to identify latent classes of demand for home-and community-based integrated care among older Chinese adults and the predictors that differentiate these demands.
    Methods: From January to March 2021, a questionnaire was administered to older people (aged ≥60 years) in community-based service centers for older people in six districts of Changsha City, Hunan Province. Participants were selected through purposive and incidental sampling. Latent profile analysis was used to categorize older people's demand for home-and community-based integrated care. By extending Andersen's behavioral model of health service use, and running multinomial logistic regression analyses, we explored which factors influenced the latent classes of demand.
    Results: A total of 382 older people were included in the analyses: 64.4% were women and 33.5% were aged 80-89. The demand from older people for home-and community-based integrated care was classified into four latent classes: high health and social interaction demand (30% - 115/382); high comprehensive demand (23% - 88/382); high care service demand (26% - 100/382), and high social participation and low care demand (21% - 79/382). Taking this last class as the reference group, the other three latent classes differed significantly in the factors of predisposition, enabling, need, and perception of aging.
    Conclusion: The demand from older people for home-and community-based integrated care is multifaceted and heterogeneous. Services for older people should be designed with different sub-models of integrated care.

    Abstract Rationale: During the past 3 years of the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, COVID-19 has been recognized to cause various neurological complications, including rare posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). In previously reported cases of PRES associated with COVID-19, the majority of patients had severe COVID-19 infection and known predisposing factors for PRES, such as uncontrolled hypertension, renal dysfunction, and use of immunosuppressants. It remains unclear whether these risk factors or infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) contributes to the development of PRES in these patients. Here we report a special case of PRES associated with COVID-19 without any known risk factors for PRES, indicating the SARS-CoV-2's direct role in the pathogenesis of PRES associated with COVID-19.
    Patient concerns: An 18-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Preliminary investigations showed no abnormalities, except for positive results in novel coronavirus nucleic acid tests using oropharyngeal swabs. However, the patient subsequently developed tonic-clonic seizures, headaches, and vomiting on the second day. Extensive investigations have been performed, including brain MRI and lumbar puncture. Brain MRI showed hypointense T1-weighted and hyperintense T2-weighted lesions in the bilateral occipital, frontal, and parietal cortices without enhancement effect. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid analyses yielded negative results. The patient had no hypertension, renal insufficiency, autoimmune disease, or the use of immunosuppressants or cytotoxic drugs.
    Diagnoses: PRES was diagnosed based on the clinical features and typical MRI findings of PRES.
    Interventions: Symptomatic treatments such as anticonvulsants were administered to the patients.
    Outcomes: The patient fully recovered within 1 week. The initial MRI abnormalities also disappeared completely on a second MR examination performed 11 days later, supporting the diagnosis of PRES. The patient was followed up for 6 months and remained in a normal state.
    Lessons: The current case had no classical risk factors for PRES, indicating that although the cause of PRES in COVID-19 patients may be multifactorial, the infection of SARS-CoV-2 may play a direct role in the pathogenesis of PRES associated with COVID-19.

    Abstract The efficient and sustainable recovery of rare earth resources from spent NdFeB magnets has received considerable and increasing attention. However, the currently prevalent NdFeB magnets recovery techniques focus only on the recovery for rare earth elements (REEs), some of which also recover cobalt (Co) or boron (B). Herein, a simple mechanochemical strategy was proposed to recover REE, Co, and B from spent NdFeB magnets by mixing the NdFeB magnets powder and FeCl

    Abstract Small towns are the bridge between urban and rural areas, and their sewage treatment is the focus and problem of urban construction. With Chongqing as the research object, this study explores the influencing factors and the characteristics of temporal and spatial changes in sewage treatment rates of 756 small towns in Chongqing from 2014 to 2020 from four aspects: the overall situation, space, population, and industry. The results show that 1) the sewage treatment rates of small towns showed a certain trend of improvement since 2014 and that the polarization between small towns continued to decrease. 2) The sewage treatment rates of small towns presented a significant spatial correlation in their entirety, but the correlation weakened year by year. In 2014, the sewage treatment rates of small towns were mainly high-high clusters, while those in 2017 were mainly low-low clusters and those in 2020 were low-low clusters in a scattered manner. 3) The sewage treatment rates of small towns with a population of 40,000–60,000 and over 60,000 in 2014 were relatively high, but the gap narrowed year by year. Small towns with more than 60,000 people had the highest sewage treatment rate in 2020, but the gap between the lowest values was reduced to 11.94%. 4) In 2014, small towns with tourism as the leading industry had a significant advantage, but three types of small towns, including industrial and mining towns, were improving fast. 5) Land urbanization, the radiation effect of county towns, the investment in urban construction, population size, and leading industries all had notable driving effects on the increase in sewage treatment rates of small towns, but the impact of urban construction investment was relatively weak because it contained a large scale of real estate investment.

    Abstract Background: The existence of amino acid metabolic reprogramming in tumor cells is well established. However, the potential correlation between blood amino acids and the risk of colon adenocarcinoma remains largely unexplored.
    Methods: We utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to examine the association between 20 amino acids in the blood and the risk of colon adenocarcinoma. Additionally, reverse MR analysis was employed to identify the presence of reverse causality. A two-step MR analysis was conducted to ascertain the potential mediating effect. Lastly, the alanine detection data from colon adenocarcinoma patients in our hospital were utilized to investigate the differences in alanine levels among healthy individuals and patients with colon cancer, as well as among patients with different stages and locations of colon cancer. Furthermore, a Kaplan-Meier curve was employed to examine the correlation between alanine and overall survival, followed by the implementation of COX univariate analysis.
    Results: The results of our study indicate that there is an inverse correlation between alanine and the risk of colon adenocarcinoma. Additionally, we found no significant evidence to support a causal relationship between colon adenocarcinoma and alanine. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and blood glucose do not act as mediators in this causal pathway. Moreover, individuals diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma exhibited a significant decrease in alanine levels, particularly in cases of stage IV colon adenocarcinoma with distant metastasis. Additionally, elevated alanine levels were associated with improved overall survival rates among colon adenocarcinoma patients.
    Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that alanine exhibits protective characteristics against the onset of colon adenocarcinoma and may play a role in promoting a more favorable disease prognosis. Consequently, dietary interventions aimed at increasing alanine intake may serve as a potential strategy for the prevention and treatment of colon adenocarcinoma.

    Abstract Summary: Lead (Pb(II)) contamination is common in liquid foods and can result from Pb(II) being present in the raw materials or during handling processes. However, due to the complexity of food matrices, there is limited data available concerning Pb(II) ion removal from food sources. This study focused on fabricating a PVA/PAA/DMTD electrospun nanofibrous membrane (ENFM) to efficiently and selectively remove Pb(II) ions from liquid foods. The PVA/PAA/DMTD ENFM had a maximum adsorption capacity of 138.3 mg/g for Pb(II) ions and demonstrated high selectivity toward the removal of Pb(II) ions. Negative values of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) showed that the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process was feasible at different temperatures. Moreover, it successfully removed Pb(II) ions from selected samples of commercially available drinks. Therefore, this adsorbent exhibits significant potential for removing Pb(II) ions from liquid food products, thereby reducing daily dietary exposure to Pb(II).
