Abstract	Background: Asthma is closely associated with lower socioeconomic status (SES), while the causal relationship between asthma and SES is undetermined. We aim to examine bidirectional relationships between asthma and SES using two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) for assessing potential causal inference. Methods: Education attainment (years of schooling), household income, and Townsend deprivation index (TDI) were 3 indicators of SES considered in our study. The genetic summary data for SES and asthma were retrieved from publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWASs) conducted in participants of European ancestry. The MR estimates from each genetic instrument were combined using random effects inverse variance weighted (IVW) meta-analysis, with alternate methods (eg, MR-Egger, weighted median). Horizontal pleiotropy was assessed by sensitivity analyses. Analyses were performed using the package TwoSampleMR in R. Results: The genetically instrumented years of schooling, household income, and TDI were not associated with the risk of asthma. However, according to the IVW method, 1.72 times increase in the odds ratio (OR) for asthma will lead to 0.024 standard deviation (SD) decrease in the years of schooling, 0.026 SD decrease in the household income, and 0.016 SD increase in the TDI. Although the substantial heterogeneity may undermine the reliability of results to some extent, sensitivity analyses further supported the causation of low household income by asthma. Conclusion: Our study indicated that genetically predicted asthma may play a causal role in lowering the household income. However, the causal role of lower SES in asthma development was not supported by our MR analyses. Considering the heterogeneity in the current study, additional MR studies are needed to validate the results in the future.

Abstract	Purpose: The detrimental effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on women's reproductive health have been widely recognized. However, the detailed association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and the incidence of infertility remains under-explored. This investigation focuses on exploring this potential connection. Methods: For this analysis, we extracted data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, covering the years 2013 to 2018, focusing on individuals with recorded serum cotinine levels and infertility information. ETS exposure and fertility status were analyzed as independent and dependent variables, respectively. We applied weighted multivariate logistic regression method to evaluate the impact of ETS on infertility, including subgroup analyses for more detailed insights. Results: The study encompassed 3,343 participants. Logistic regression analysis revealed a notable positive correlation between ETS exposure and infertility, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.64 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.14-2.36). We observed a non-linear relationship between ETS exposure and infertility risk. Notably, infertility risk increased by 64% in serum cotinine levels above 0.136 compared to that in serum cotinine levels below 0.011. Further, subgroup analysis and interaction tests showed consistent results across different segments, underscoring the robustness of the ETS-infertility link. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that environmental tobacco smoke exposure may be a contributing factor to infertility. These results reinforce the recommendation for women in their reproductive years to avoid ETS exposure, especially when planning for pregnancy.

Abstract	Fiscal decentralization, widely believed to be one essential tool to boost economic growth, is typically presented as something that works for developed countries. However, this needs to be investigated, which is what this paper aims to do. This paper investigates the relationship between fiscal decentralization and economic growth, specifically focusing on its applicability in both developed and developing countries. Using cross-sectional data from 23 African and 23 OECD countries, we employ two-stage estimation methods, including two-stage least squares (2SLS), Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), and Limited Information Maximum Likelihood (LIML), to address concerns related to endogeneity. The inclusion of instruments representing country size, ethnoreligious diversity, and administrative structure enhances the analysis. The dependent variable is based on average values for the five-year period between 2015 and 2019, while the explanatory variables are derived from data in 2017, representing the midpoint of the 2013–2021 period. The results highlight the effectiveness of the 2SLS method in estimating the relationship between fiscal decentralization, control variables, instrument variables, and per capita GDP. Empirical findings indicate significant positive impacts of both expenditure decentralization and revenue decentralization on per capita GDP, holding true for both developed and developing countries, with a slightly stronger effect observed in the latter. These results underscore the potential benefits of fiscal decentralization across diverse economies and offer valuable insights for policymakers.The study uses cross-sectional data from 23 African and 23 OECD countries and applies two-stage estimation methods to effectively address the endogeneity issue in the modeling. A variety of such methods in two-stage least squares (2SLS), Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), and Limited Information Maximum Likelihood (LIML) are applied and compared against the ordinary least squares (OLS) method. Variables that ...

Abstract	Objective Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) imaging technology opens a new idea and method for analyzing stone composition, which can obtain several quantitative parameters reflecting tissue-related information and energy images different from traditional images. However, the application of DECT in diagnosing urinary calculi remains unknown. This study aims to evaluate the value of DECT in diagnosing urinary calculi by meta-analysis. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched to articles published from the establishment of the databases to April 18, 2023. We reviewed the articles on the diagnosis of urinary calculi detected by DECT, established standards, screened the articles, and extracted data. Two researchers carried out data extraction and the Cohen’s unweighted kappa was estimated for inter-investigator reliability. The quality of the literature was evaluated by the diagnostic test accuracy quality evaluation tool (QUADAS-2). The heterogeneity and threshold effects were analyzed by Meta-Disc 1.4 software, and the combined sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic ratio were calculated. The combined receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the value of DECT in the diagnosis of urinary calculi was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC). The meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42023418204). Results One thousand and twenty-seven stones were detected in 1,223 samples from 10 diagnostic tests. The analyzed kappa alternated between 0.78-0.85 for the document’s retrieval and detection procedure. The sensitivity of DECT in the diagnosis of urinary calculi was 0.94 (95% CI [0.92–0.96]). The positive likelihood ratio (PLR) of DECT in the diagnosis of urinary stones was 0.91 (95% CI [0.88–0.94]), and the negative likelihood ratio (NLR) was 0.08 (95% CI [0.05–0.11]). The specificity of DECT for detecting urinary calculi was 0.91 (95% CI [0.88–0.94]). The area under the curve of the summary ...

Abstract	Many symmetric top molecules are among the most important polyatomic molecules. The orientation of a polyatomic molecule is a challenging task, which is at the heart of its quantum control and crucial for many subsequent applications in various fields. Most recent studies focus on the temporary orientation achieved via the quantum revivals. In this study, we reveal the underlying mechanism behind the observed permanent orientation and discuss strategies for a higher degree of permanent orientation. By a careful analysis of symmetry and unitary, it is possible to estimate an upper bound of ⟨⟨cosθ⟩⟩<(2-2)/4≈0.1464 for a molecule in its thermal equilibrium states using a linear field. We show that this bound can be reached for an oblate symmetric-top molecule in the high temperature limit. To demonstrate different possible schemes, we take CHCl

Abstract	Background and objectives: Observational study has found inflammatory bowel disease to be associated with multiple extraintestinal manifestations. To this end, we characterized the causal association between inflammatory bowel disease and extraintestinal manifestations through a Mendelian randomization study and further explored the role of intestinal flora in inflammatory bowel disease and the extraintestinal manifestations associated with it. Materials and methods: We genetically predicted the causal relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and twenty IBD-related extraintestinal manifestations (including sarcoidosis, iridocyclitis, interstitial lung disease, atopic dermatitis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthropathies, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis). We used the full genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics on gut microbiota in 18,340 participants from 24 cohorts to explore its role in the casual relationships between IBD and IBD-related extraintestinal manifestations. Inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the main analytical method to assess the causal associations. We performed Cochran's Q test to examine the heterogeneity. To assess the robustness of the IVW results, we further performed sensitivity analyses including the weighted median method, MR-Egger regression, and Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO) test. The leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was further performed to monitor if significant associations were dominated by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Result: A total of eight extraintestinal manifestations were found to be at elevated risk of development due to inflammatory bowel diseases. A total of 11 causal relationships were found between IBD and gut microbiota, four of which were stable. Between gut microbiota and these eight extraintestinal manifestations, a total of 67 nominal causal associations were identified, of which 13 associations were stable, and notably 4 associations were strongly correlated. Conclusion: Through the two-sample MR analysis, we identified extraintestinal manifestations that were causally associated with inflammatory bowel disease and obtained multiple associations from inflammatory bowel disease and gut microbiota, and gut microbiota and extraintestinal manifestations in further analyses. These associations may provide useful biomarkers and potential targets for pathogenesis and treatment.

Abstract	The control of carbon emissions from agriculture is imperative in addressing the challenges posed by the greenhouse effect. China must develop a specific pathway for reducing its agricultural carbon emissions, accounting for its unique circumstances and considering the impacts of trade liberalization. (1) The study revealing that agricultural trade liberalization (ATL) has a marked effect on lowering China's agricultural carbon emission intensity (ACEI), with robustness and endogeneity tests supporting these findings. (2) In the pursuit of emissions reduction, the crucial role of technology spillovers (TS) and the optimization of industrial structure (OIS) are essential. (3) The reduction in ACEI is particularly notable in coastal regions, areas with low environmental regulations and during periods characterized by more stable agricultural tariffs. This study shows a synergistic association between ATL and ACEI, indicates the potential for a mutually beneficial situation with advantages in both economic and environmental aspects.
