    Abstract With increasing demand for green growth globally, the escalating economic growth of China is also needed to be accompanied with environmental protection. From an environmental upgrading perspective, current study developed a nexus amid Green Total Factor Energy Productivity (GTFEP), Economic Opening-up (EOU), Environmental Regulations (ER), Rent of Natural Resources (RNR) and Green Innovation (GI) of China. Using annual data from 1990 to 2020 and applying a bound testing approach for Auto-regressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) along with an error correction model, current study investigated short and long run dynamics amid variables of concern. The results confirmed cointegration between GTFEP and all other variables, and Granger causality analysis revealed uni-directional causality, running from independent variables towards GTFEP. Concluding the results, both long and short-run findings suggested effectiveness of EOU, ER, RNR and GI on GTFEP of China, and the results are statistically significant. Thus, the policies should be aimed to improve opening-up, environmental regulations and green innovation.

    2020  Volume 20, Issue 1, Page(s) 167

    Abstract Background: In medical research and practice, the p-value is arguably the most often used statistic and yet it is widely misconstrued as the probability of the type I error, which comes with serious consequences. This misunderstanding can greatly affect the reproducibility in research, treatment selection in medical practice, and model specification in empirical analyses. By using plain language and concrete examples, this paper is intended to elucidate the p-value confusion from its root, to explicate the difference between significance and hypothesis testing, to illuminate the consequences of the confusion, and to present a viable alternative to the conventional p-value.
    Main text: The confusion with p-values has plagued the research community and medical practitioners for decades. However, efforts to clarify it have been largely futile, in part, because intuitive yet mathematically rigorous educational materials are scarce. Additionally, the lack of a practical alternative to the p-value for guarding against randomness also plays a role. The p-value confusion is rooted in the misconception of significance and hypothesis testing. Most, including many statisticians, are unaware that p-values and significance testing formed by Fisher are incomparable to the hypothesis testing paradigm created by Neyman and Pearson. And most otherwise great statistics textbooks tend to cobble the two paradigms together and make no effort to elucidate the subtle but fundamental differences between them. The p-value is a practical tool gauging the "strength of evidence" against the null hypothesis. It informs investigators that a p-value of 0.001, for example, is stronger than 0.05. However, p-values produced in significance testing are not the probabilities of type I errors as commonly misconceived. For a p-value of 0.05, the chance a treatment does not work is not 5%; rather, it is at least 28.9%.
    Conclusions: A long-overdue effort to understand p-values correctly is much needed. However, in medical research and practice, just banning significance testing and accepting uncertainty are not enough. Researchers, clinicians, and patients alike need to know the probability a treatment will or will not work. Thus, the calibrated p-values (the probability that a treatment does not work) should be reported in research papers.

    Abstract Objective: By reviewing the literature analyzing vancomycin powder for preventive surgery, the effect of this method on reducing the infection rate after TJA was systematically evaluated to provide a basis for future clinical work.
    Methods: Using PubMed, Medline, Elsevier, and CNKI, with the following mesh words: "vancomycin", "local / intraoperative / topical / intrawound", "TJA", "TKA", "THA", "total joint arthroplasty", "total knee arthroplasty", "total hip arthroplasty", "infection", and "SSI", to search for case-control research papers on the impact of prophylactic application of vancomycin powder on the incidence of postoperative infection, we compared the overall infection rate in the literature by using RevMan 5.3 meta-analysis software and analyzed the impact of vancomycin on the infection rate of different parts and types of TJA according to different subgroups.
    Results: A total of 22 qualified studies were selected; twenty-five studies compared the effect of prophylactic use of vancomycin powder on infection rates after TJA. There were 23,363 cases in total, including 9545 cases in the vancomycin group and 13,818 cases in the control group. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the possibility of postoperative infection after prophylactic use of vancomycin powder was significantly lower than that without vancomycin risk ratio: 0.38 [0.23,0.59], P < 0.01). However, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed no significant effect of vancomycin on postoperative infection (P = 0.52).
    Conclusion: Based on the retrospective studies, local prophylactic use of vancomycin powder in TJA can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative infection. High-quality RCTs should be carried out to further evaluate these results.

    Abstract Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in China at the end of 2019. Several case studies have documented a probable association between infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and acute pancreatitis (AP). The objective of this study was to provide a complete analysis of existing literature that compares the clinical outcomes of AP in patients with COVID-19 and those without COVID-19. The intention was to further our understanding of the involvement of SARS-CoV-2 in the development of pancreatitis.
    Methods: Between January 2019 and December 2022, we searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus. Nine studies (3,160 patients) were included. In this meta-analysis, Stata 12.0. was utilized. The information provided in this study is presented following the MOOSE reporting checklist.
    Results: Mortality [odds ratio (OR) =3.95, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.87, 5.43, P<0.001], intensive care unit (ICU) administration (OR =3.74, 95% CI: 2.26, 6.20, P<0.001), mechanical ventilation (OR =4.84, 95% CI: 2.14, 10.96, P<0.001), severe pancreatitis (OR =2.71, 95% CI: 1.04, 7.04, P=0.042), etiology of idiopathic and unknown (OR =4.75, 95% CI: 1.80, 12.56, P=0.002), necrotizing pancreatitis (OR =1.88, 95% CI: 1.28, 2.76, P=0.001), and length of hospital stay [weighted mean difference (WMD) =5.10, 95% CI: 2.79, 7.41, P<0.001] were more significantly increased in AP cases with COVID-19 than those without it.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate a potential worsening of AP outcomes in patients affected by COVID-19.

    Abstract To realize the resourceful use of soilbags filled with graphite tailings, their load-bearing and deformation characteristics must be fully understood. In this study, the following results were obtained by performing geometric testing of water-filled sealing bags and uniaxial compression tests of soilbags filled with graphite tailings. The volume of the soilbag expressed in rectangular form was approximately 0.773 times the actual volume. The types of compression damage to soilbags can be defined as surface damage and overall damage. The surface damage load increases with decreasing filling density and decreases with decreasing soilbag size. Moreover, the higher the tensile capacity of the soilbag material and the lower the friction between the soilbags, the greater the surface damage load. The overall damage load increased with an increase in the tensile strength of the soilbag material and decreased with an increase in the degree of filling; the overall damage load was greater for large-sized soilbags at high degrees of filling. Thus, the existing theoretical calculation method cannot accurately calculate the damage load of soilbags filled with graphite tailings, and the test results deviate from the theoretical calculation results, with the latter showing an increasing damage load with a decreasing filling degree.

    Abstract Adipose tissue is a highly attractive reservoir of stem cells due to its accessibility and abundance, and the SVF within it holds great promise for stem cell-based therapies. The use of mechanical methods for SVF isolation from adipose tissue is preferred over enzymatic methods, as it can be readily applied in clinical settings without additional processing steps. However, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal approach for mechanically isolating SVF. This comprehensive review aims to present and compare the latest mechanical isolation methods for SVF from adipose tissue, including centrifugation, filtration/washing, emulsification, vibration, and mincing/adiponizing. Each of these methods possesses unique advantages and limitations, and yet, no conclusive evidence has emerged demonstrating the superiority of one approach over the others, primarily due to the dearth of well-controlled prospective studies in this field.

    Abstract Modeling complex contagion in networked systems is an important topic in network science, for which various models have been proposed, including the synergistic contagion model that incorporates coherent interference and the simplicial contagion model that involves high-order interactions. Although both models have demonstrated success in investigating complex contagions, their relationship in modeling complex contagions remains unclear. In this study, we compare the synergy and the simplest form of high-order interaction in the simplicial contagion model, known as the triangular one. We analytically show that the triangular interaction and the synergy can be bridged within complex contagions through the joint degree distribution of the network. Monte Carlo simulations are then conducted to compare simplicial and corresponding synergistic contagions on synthetic and real-world networks, the results of which highlight the consistency of these two different contagion processes and thus validate our analysis. Our study sheds light on the deep relationship between the synergy and high-order interactions and enhances our physical understanding of complex contagions in networked systems.
