    Abstract Although China's 2009 New Healthcare Reform aimed to correct the imbalance in the spatial allocation of healthcare resources with a focus on the county level, its impact on county-level allocative efficiency evolution and convergence remains unclear. This paper for the first time performs a spatial analysis to explore the distribution, evolution, and convergence of the allocative efficiency of healthcare resources with county-level data. This paper uses the sample data of 158 countries in Henan Province, China, to evaluate the evolution and convergence of the allocative efficiency of healthcare resources. Based on the estimated Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) allocative efficiency, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and spatial descriptive analysis, we explore the county heterogeneity and efficiency evolution; a spatial panel model is then utilized to test the county-level convergence of the allocative efficiency of healthcare resources. Although the number of efficient counties has not increased, the number of inefficient individuals keeps decreasing, and the allocative efficiency of municipal districts is lower than that of nonmunicipal counties. There exists a positive spatial correlation of allocative efficiency in Henan Province, and significant and robust convergence results can be found at the county level after China's 2009 reform. This study reveals a diversified picture of China's county-level spatial evolution of allocative efficiency in healthcare resources, showing a more balanced spatial distribution of allocative efficiency since the triggering of China's 2009 reform. However, long-term investment incentives and a targeted allocation of healthcare resources are still needed to promote further efficiency convergence and increase the number of counties with efficiency.

    Abstract Since 2010, China has been exploring descending resources reform in order to correct the imbalanced allocation of healthcare resources and promote coordinated economic development among regions. This paper for the first time estimates the impact this reform has had on the reallocation of healthcare resources by using prefecture-level cities panel data from Zhejiang Province, China, which implemented the reform province-wide in 2013. The time-varying difference-in-differences (DID) method was used to estimate the reform's policy effects. The data used in this paper is from published statistical yearbooks and local governments, which include panel data from 11 prefecture-level and higher cities in Zhejiang Province as the treated group and 46 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu, Henan, and Sichuan Province as the control group. The entropy weight method was used to construct the supply index and demand index to incorporate multiple inputs and outputs, and efficiency indicators were constructed using the ratio method. This research found that the reform has had a positive effect on outpatient visits in different prefecture-level cities with vast rural areas. However, this reform exerted no significant impact on inpatient services or supply-side or resource allocation efficiency. Several robust tests support the above conclusions, and one theoretical explanation is provided. The descending health resources reform can be a valuable reform path in promoting more balanced healthcare resource allocation; however, the resultant disparities in its effects should be considered when implementing it.

    Abstract In the Tibetan Plateau (TP) soil water and heat transfer process, soil organic carbon (SOC) and gravel content are considered as the most influential soil texture factors. However, the issues of underestimating SOC and neglecting gravel effect affected the simulation performance of CLM5.0 on soil moisture (SM) and soil temperature (ST). This paper proposed a new parameterization scheme, the organic carbon-gravel (OC-G) scheme, to simulate ST and SM from 1990 to 2018. The results showed that correlation between the simulated and observed ST or SM was higher, and the error was smaller, after the modification of the parameterization scheme. This improvement justifies the applicability of the scheme for soil hydrothermal simulations on the TP. The experiment described that ST and SM were more sensitive to changes in SOC content. And changes in gravel or SOC content had the “Same-Frequency” effect in the northeast and southeast TP. When the SOC and gravel content changed at the same time, the effects on ST and SM were a “cumulative” effect. The change directly affected the memory time of ST and SM in summer. Specifically, when the SOC content was increased, the memory time of SM increased in the northwest and decreased in the southeast. When gravel content was increased, the memory time of SM decreased in the northwest but increased in the southeast, but the memory time of ST remained largely unchanged. Changes to the abnormal duration may alter summer weather and climate in Eastern China.

    Abstract We developed a three-step matching algorithm to enhance the between-group comparability for comparative drug effect studies involving prevalent new-users of the newer study drug versus older comparator drug(s). The three-step matching scheme is to match on: (1) index date of initiating the newer study drug to align the cohort entry time between study groups, (2) medication possession ratio measures that consider prior exposure to all older comparator drugs, and (3) propensity scores estimated from potential confounders. Our approach is illustrated with a comparative cardiovascular safety study of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1ra) versus sulfonylurea (SU) in type 2 diabetes patients using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database 2003-2015. 66% of 3195 GLP-1ra users had previously exposed to SU. The between-group comparability was well-achieved after implementing the matching algorithm (i.e., standardized mean difference < 0.2 for all baseline patient characteristics). Compared to SU, the use of GLP-1ra yielded a significantly reduced risk of the primary composite cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.71 [0.54-0.95], p = 0.022). Our matching scheme can enhance the between-group comparability in prevalent new-user cohort designs to minimize time-related bias, improve confounder adjustment, and ensure the reliability and validity of study findings.

    Abstract Nanomaterials integrating a variety of excellent properties (such as controllable/suitable size, surface modifier, and multifunctionality) have attracted increasing attention in the biomedical field and have been considered a new generation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs). In recent years, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials with specifically responsive ability have been synthesized as MRI CAs, which can significantly improve the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy depending on their outstanding performance. Furthermore, the inherent tumor microenvironment (TME) of malignant tumor is considered to possess several unique features, such as low extracellular pH, redox condition, hypoxia, and high interstitial pressure, that are significantly different from healthy tissues. Hence, constructing nanomaterials for TME-responsive MRI as an emerging strategy is expected to overcome the current obstacles to precise diagnosis. This review focuses on recent advances of nanomaterials in their application of TME-responsive MRI that trigger the diagnostic function in response to various endogenous stimulations, including pH, redox, enzyme, and hypoxia. Moreover, the future challenges and trends in the development of nanomaterials serving as TME-responsive MRI CAs are discussed.

    Abstract Depression is a genetical disease characterized by neuroinflammatory symptoms and is difficult to diagnose and treat effectively. Recently, modification of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) at the gene level was shown to be closely related to immune regulation. This study was conducted to explore the effect of m6A modifications on the occurrence of depression and composition of the immune microenvironment. We downloaded gene expression profile data of healthy and depressed rats from the Gene Expression Omnibus. We described the overall expression of m6A regulators in animal models of depression and constructed risk and clinical prediction models using training and validation sets. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using gene ontology functions, gene set enrichment analysis, gene set variation analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and protein-protein interaction networks. We used CIBERSORT to identify immune-infiltrating cells in depression and perform correlation analysis. We then constructed two molecular subtypes of depression and assessed the correlation between the key genes and molecular subtypes. Through differential gene analysis of m6A regulators in depressed rats, we identified seven m6A regulators that were significantly upregulated in depressed rats and successfully constructed a clinical prediction model. Gene Ontology functional annotation showed that the m6A regulators enriched differentially expressed genes in biological processes, such as the regulation of mRNA metabolic processes. Further, 12 hub genes were selected from the protein-protein interaction network. Immune cell infiltration analysis showed that levels of inflammatory cells, such as CD4 T cells, were significantly increased in depressed rats and were significantly correlated with the depression hub genes. Depression was divided into two subtypes, and the correlation between hub genes and these two subtypes was clarified. We described the effect of m6A modification on the pathogenesis of depression, focusing on the role of inflammatory infiltration.

    Abstract Propofol has been documented to exhibit anti-tumor effects in cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms of its inhibition remain unclear. We conducted this study to investigate the effect of propofol on lncRNA GAS5 in glioma cells, and to probe the role of GAS5 in the anti-tumor effects of propofol. Human glioma cell line U251 were treated with propofol. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle and apoptosis were evaluated, and the expression of GAS5 was measured. After that, we knockdown the expression of GAS5 in U251 cells by using siRNA and treated them with propofol, detected above indicators again and measured the expression of GAS5-related proteins. We found that propofol significantly reduced U251 cells proliferation, migration and invasion, induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis while promoted GAS5 expression. These affects could be attenuated when GAS5 was down-regulated. Moreover, propofol increases the expression of P21, decreases the expression of c-Myc and GSTM3 through elevating GAS5 expression. In total, the anti-tumor activity of propofol on glioma cells was verified in this study. One possible mechanism involved was preliminary revealed: propofol up-regulates the expression of GAS5, thus stimulating P21 pathway, blocking c-Myc and GSTM3 pathways.

    Abstract Introduction: Rapid and accurate detection of food-borne pathogens on mutton is of great significance to ensure the safety of mutton and its products and the health of consumers.
    Objectives: The feasibility of short-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging (SWIR-HSI) in detecting the contamination status and species of
    Materials and methods: The hyperspectral images of uncontaminated and contaminated mutton samples with different concentrations (10
    Results and discussion: The best full band model was the 1D-CNN model with the convolution kernels number of (64, 16) and the activation function of tanh established by the original spectra, and its accuracy of training set, test set and external validation set were 100.00, 92.86 and 97.62%, respectively. The optimal simplified model was genetic algorithm optimization support vector machine (GA-SVM). For discriminating the pathogen species, the accuracies of SVM models established by full band spectra preprocessed by 2D and all 1D-CNN models with the convolution kernel number of (32, 16) and the activation function of tanh were 100.00%. In addition, the accuracies of all simplified models were 100.00% except for the 1D-CNN models. Considering the complexity of features and model calculation, the 1D-CNN models established by original spectra were the optimal models for pathogenic bacteria contamination status and species. The simplified models provide basis for developing multispectral detection instruments.
    Conclusion: The results proved that SWIR-HSI combined with machine learning and deep learning could accurately detect the foodborne pathogen contamination on mutton, and the performance of deep learning models were better than that of machine learning. This study can promote the application of HSI technology in the detection of foodborne pathogens on meat.
