Abstract	Concentrating on environmental issues in financial statement auditing is the main way for auditors to fulfill their environmental protection responsibilities. By studying the impact of environmental information disclosure on audit fees and audit opinions, we can infer how closely the auditors focus on environmental matters to some extent. In this paper, listed companies with serious pollution in A-share market in China from 2014 to 2019 are selected as research samples to explore the correlation among environmental-related information disclosure, audit fees and audit opinions. Through empirical analysis, it is found that the level of environmental information disclosure of listed companies in heavily polluted industries is positively correlated with the audit fees, and negatively correlated with the publication of non-standard audit opinions.

Abstract	The Middle–Late Triassic climates have attracted the attention of paleontological and geological scientists for the Carnian pluvial event in the early Late Triassic. The event is well-documented in the pelagic and epi-continental marine deposits of the Tethys, Gondwana, and Laurasia. However, inland terrestrial deposits are less frequently depicted, with high-resolution palynological biostratigraphy constraints. In this study, we report the palynological records from the YC8-1 and YC7-3 sub-members of the Yunmeng profile in the Ordos Basin, China, where the YC7-3 was dated at 236.0–234.1 Ma. Two palynological assemblages were recognized and named the Lundbladispora watangensis–Taeniaesporites combinatus assemblage and Lundbladispora communis–Discisporites granulus assemblage for the YC8-1 and YC7-3 sub-members, respectively. Their ages were determined to be the latest Ladinian and early Carnian, respectively, for their stratigraphic correlations with the global boundary stratotype section and point (GSSP) of the base of Carnian in Europe and additional co-occurring floras with condonts in the Upper Triassic of South China. The coexistence of Cyathidites minor (Couper, 1953), Dictyophyllidites harrisii (Couper, 1958), Apiculatisporis bulliensis (Helby ex De Jersey, 1972), Aratrisporites xiangxiensis (Li and Shang, 2011), Piceaepollenites omoriciformis (Bolkh.) (Xu and Zhang, 1984), Podocarpidites ornatus (Pocock, 1962), Discisporites granulus (Zhang, 1984), and Classopollis (Pflug, 1953) is equivalent to the Carnian palynostratigraphic criterion reported in the North China palynofloristic realm. Vegetational changes, especially those occurring at the boundary between Ladinian and Carnian, account for approximately 70% of ferns and over 30% of gymnosperms lost. These were discovered and attributed to the strong seasonal arid climate, indicated by the emergence of Cheirolepidiaceae and Pinuspollenites. We thus know that the climate during the latest Ladinian and early Carnian was “hot house” with seasonal aridity. ...

Abstract	Background Medical students are vulnerable to anxiety. Identifying its key influencing factors can potentially benefit both students and their future patients. Trait emotional intelligence (EI) and perceived stress may play important roles in anxiety. The main objective of this study was to examine the associations between trait EI, perceived stress and anxiety among Chinese medical students. Materials and methods Self-report questionnaires, consisting of the Chinese versions of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form, the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and demographic section were distributed to 1500 students at three medical universities in China. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed to examine the associations between trait EI, perceived stress and anxiety. Asymptotic and resampling strategies were utilized to examine the mediating effect of perceived stress. Results A total number of 1388 medical students became final participants. After adjustment for demographics, while trait EI was strongly and negatively associated with anxiety, accounting for 21.1% of its variance, perceived stress was strongly and positively related to anxiety, explaining an additional 10.0% of the variance. Stress appeared to have a mediating effect on the association between trait EI and anxiety in students with high and moderate levels of stress, but not in low stress group. Conclusions Both constructs of trait EI and perceived stress could be of vital importance to understand anxiety in medical students. Evidence-based strategies to enhance trait EI and reduce perceived stress might be undertaken to prevent and treat anxiety in the students.

Abstract	Background: Postoperative mortality plays an important role in evaluating the surgical safety of esophagectomy. Although postoperative mortality after esophagectomy is partly influenced by the yearly hospital surgical case volume (hospital volume), this association remains unclear. Methods: Studies assessing the association between hospital volume and postoperative mortality in patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer were searched for eligibility. Odds ratios (ORs) were pooled for the highest versus lowest categories of hospital volume using a random effects model. The dose-response association between hospital volume and the risk of postoperative mortality was analyzed. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO. Results: Fifty-six studies including 385,469 participants were included. A higher-volume hospital significantly reduced the risk of post-esophagectomy mortality by 53% compared with their lower-volume counterparts (odds ratio, 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-0.54). Similar results were found in subgroup analyses. Volume-outcome analysis suggested that post-esophagectomy mortality rates remained roughly stable after the hospital volume reached a plateau of 45 esophagectomies per year. Conclusions: Higher-volume hospitals had significantly lower post-esophagectomy mortality rates in patients with esophageal cancer, with a threshold of 45 esophagectomies per year for a high-volume hospital. This remarkable negative correlation showed the benefit of a better safety in centralization of esophagectomy to a high volume hospital.

Abstract	Thermal-acoustic devices have great potential as flexible ultrathin sound sources. However, stretchable sound sources based on a thermal-acoustic mechanism remain elusive, as realizing stable resistance in a reasonable range is challenging. In this study, a stretchable thermal-acoustic device based on graphene ink is fabricated on a weft-knitted fabric. After optimization of the graphene ink concentration, the device resistance changes by 8.94% during 4000 cycles of operation in the unstretchable state. After multiple cycles of bending, folding, prodding, and washing, the sound pressure level (SPL) change of the device is within 10%. Moreover, the SPL has an increase with the strain in a specific range, showing a phenomenon similar to the negative differential resistance (NDR) effect. This study sheds light on the use of stretchable thermal-acoustic devices for e-skin and wearable electronics.

Abstract	Autologous fat grafting has been widely used for soft tissue filling in plastic surgery. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) could play a wide role in health and disease because of containing a variety of growth factors and cytokines. Although previous studies have described the positive effect of autologous PRP mixed with fat grafts, only minimal improvements in fat graft survival have been reported. The present study is aimed at comparing the effects of PRP and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) on the survival and quality of fat grafting. We built a 180-day nude mouse model implanted with a fat graft supplemented with PRP, PPP, or saline, respectively. The above reagents (PRP, PPP, or saline) were injected two additional times after the initial engraftment. The survival ratio of the fat grafts and the capillary density in the PRP group were significantly higher than those in the PPP group and the saline group (control group) at 15, 30, 90, and 180 days posttransplantation (P<0.05). The survival ratio of the PPP group was higher than that of the saline group (P<0.05), but the capillary density in the PPP group was not significantly different from that in the saline group at any time point (P>0.05). We hence conclude that the repeated application of PRP or PPP three times can enhance the survival of fat grafts within 180 days. Moreover, the effect of PRP is superior to that of PPP.

Abstract	The extant Keteleeria is endemic to east and southeast Asia, while Keteleeria -like trees were widely distributed in the northern hemisphere in Earth’s history. In this paper, we reported a novel wood fossil of Keteleerioxylon changchunense Shi, Sun, Meng et Yu sp. nov., collected from the middle part of the Yingcheng Formation, Yingcheng Coal Mine, Changchun City, Jilin Province, northeast China. The quantitative growth-ring analyses of K. changchunense indicate that it was evergreen with a leaf longevity of 1–3 years, which is consistent with the foliar retention of extant Keteleeria . Its high ring-markedness index (RMI) indicates that the climate seasonality was pronounced during the Early Albian period in the Songliao Basin, northeast China. The fossil records of Keteleeria and closely related taxa indicate that this group might have originated from high latitudes in the northern hemisphere, then spread and migrated southward during the Late Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, gradually decreased in the Cenozoic period, and so far only survives in east and southeast Asia.

Abstract	Two homogenous polysaccharides extracted from Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. were investigated by water extraction (AMP-FW) and alkali solution extraction (AMP-FA) after purification by anion exchange column and size exclusion chromatography. The molecular weight of AMP-FW and AMP-FA were 2874 Da and 3438 Da, respectively, estimated by high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC). The monosaccharide compositions of AMP-FW and AMP-FA were glucose and fructose at a molar ratio of 0.11:0.89 determined by high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC). The functional groups, glycosidic linkages and the chemical structure were characterized by FT-IR, GC–MS and NMR, which comprehensively indicated a similar inulin-type fructan structure of the two polysaccharides from A. macrocephala. However, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed different microstructures that irregular lamellar shape for the AMP-FW and spheroid shape for the AMP-FA. The further studies on immunomodulation showed that AMP-FW at 50 μg/mL could significantly (P < 0.05) stimulate RAW 264.7 cells by enhancing the mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, which had a relative high immunomodulatory potential when compared to AMP-FA. Their activation on different toll-like receptors (TLR) also indicated their different roles in the immunoregulation. Overall, these findings reported here will serve as the basis for further structure-activity relationship studies.
