    Abstract The objective of this study was to estimate the association of depressive and anxiety symptoms with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle-aged and older Chinese women and to further evaluate whether the association was influenced by sociodemographic factors. This cross-sectional study included 9544 women aged 40 to 70 years from the eastern, central, and western regions of China in 2018. Logistic regression models were utilized to examine odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for depressive and anxiety symptoms with CVD risk. Depressive (OR = 1.89) and anxiety symptoms (OR = 1.55) were independently associated with an increased risk of CVD after adjusting for potential confounders. Stratified analyses found that depressive symptoms were only significantly associated with higher risk of CVD in women aged over 50 years and with lower levels of education and household income, whereas anxiety symptoms were only significantly associated with an elevated risk of CVD in women aged 60 to 70 years, and living in rural areas, and with lower levels of education and household income. Our findings emphasize the improvement of recognizing and managing depressive and anxiety symptoms to reduce the risk of CVD in middle-aged and older women, particularly in older women of low socioeconomic status.

    Abstract In the past two decades, the method of endovascular therapy, particularly utilizing covered stents, has been widely employed to treat arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) following traumatic injury. In this report, we present a case study of a patient with post-traumatic femoral arteriovenous fistula treated using a Viabahn endoprosthesis, during which a rare occurrence of stent deployment obstruction was overcome via successful endovascular intervention. Leveraging the unique release line-based deployment mechanism of the Viabahn stent, we were able to adroitly respond to this emergency situation by adopting a suitable approach via minimally invasive endovascular means, and ultimately resolving the impasse. This approach averted the significant trauma associated with open surgical procedures.

    Abstract Isobavachalcone (IBC) is a flavonoid component of the traditional Chinese medicine Psoraleae Fructus, with a range of pharmacological properties. However, IBC causes some hepatotoxicity, and the mechanism of toxicity is unclear. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the possible mechanism of toxicity of IBC on HepG2 cells and zebrafish embryos. The results showed that exposure to IBC increased zebrafish embryo mortality and decreased hatchability. Meanwhile, IBC induced liver injury and increased expression of ALT and AST activity. Further studies showed that IBC caused the increase of ROS and MDA the decrease of CAT, GSH, and GSH-Px; the increase of Fe

    Abstract What is already known about this topic?: Cervical cancer is a significant public health problem with approximately 570,000 cases and 311,000 deaths occurring in 2018 globally. It is imperative to raise awareness of cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV).
    What is added by this report?: Compared to previous studies, this is one of the largest cross-sectional studies of cervical cancer and HPV in Chinese adult females in recent years. We found that knowledge level of cervical cancer and HPV vaccine was still inadequate among women aged 20-45 years old, and the willingness to receive HPV vaccination was highly associated with knowledge level.
    What are the implications for public health practice?: Intervention programs should aim to improve awareness and knowledge about cervical cancer and HPV vaccines, primarily focusing on women of lower socio-economic status.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the association of hypertension with depressive and anxiety disorders in middle-aged and older Chinese women, and to further assess whether the association was influenced by socioeconomic status (SES).
    Design: Nationwide cross-sectional study.
    Setting: Six provinces of the eastern, central and western regions of China.
    Participants: Women aged 40-70 years were included by a multistage stratified random cluster sampling in 2018 (N=9900).
    Primary outcome measures: Depressive and anxiety disorders were measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, respectively. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the OR and 95% CI for hypertension and the odds of depressive and anxiety disorders.
    Results: 18.5% of participants reported having hypertension; 20.9% and 15.3% of women experienced depressive and anxiety disorders, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, women diagnosed with hypertension were more likely to have depressive (OR=1.27, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.45) and anxiety disorders (OR=1.48, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.71) than those without hypertension. Stratified analyses demonstrated that hypertension was significantly associated with higher odds of depressive disorders in women living in rural areas (OR=1.34, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.59), with lower levels of education (OR=1.28, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.46) and with average monthly household income <¥3000 (OR=1.33, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.59), while hypertension was significantly correlated with increased odds of anxiety disorders in women living in urban (OR=1.41, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.79) and rural areas (OR=1.53, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.84), with lower levels of education (OR=1.47, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.70), and with average monthly household income <¥3000 (OR=1.45, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.75) and ≥¥3000 (OR=1.49, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.86).
    Conclusions: Hypertension was associated with increased odds of depressive and anxiety disorders among middle-aged and older women, especially in those with low SES. Effective strategies and actions for identification and management of hypertension and depressive and anxiety disorders are needed.

    Abstract Low global warming potential hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-ionic liquid (IL) mixtures are a promising type of environmentally friendly binary working pair that can overcome the drawbacks of traditional mixtures. To compensate for the high-grade power consumption of its applicable compression-assisted absorption refrigeration systems, a novel combined absorption system with a compression booster for the cogeneration of power and refrigeration (CAPRC) is proposed via this study. The system operates efficiently by utilizing low-grade heat sources in a cascaded manner. It was studied using energy, exergy, and economic analyses with verified models. 1,1-difluoroethane/1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(triflfluoromethylsulfonyl)imide was first pre-selected from potential working pairs due to its superior thermodynamic properties and highest performances in absorption systems. The performances of the CAPRC under typical space-cooling conditions were then analyzed theoretically for various operating modes and control parameters. Noted in cold mode, CAPRC could produce a constant cooling load by enhancing the utilization of heat sources through the adjustment of compression ratio and expansion ratio, indicating its outstanding adaptability to time-variable low-grade heat sources. The CAPRC could also generate 80.91% more net power than the reference system and offered 12.87% and 10.68% higher effective energy and exergy efficiencies, respectively, under optimized base-case control parameters in dual-output mode. A subsequent sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess its power and cooling production and effective efficiencies under various external conditions. The shortest payback period was finally estimated to be 6.43 years, which is 19.28% less than the reference system, further demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of the proposed system.

    Abstract While clustering has been commonly used to profile the building electricity consumption data, its application to HVAC system data is relatively less. Based on the operation data of a residential ground source heat pump (GSHP) system, a pre-processing procedure was set up, including acquisition, cleaning, missing-data fill-in, and standardization. Then hierarchical clustering was used, based on the dynamic time warping (DTW) distance calculation method. A new index, the sum of squares of errors based on DTW, was used to determine the best cluster number. The patterns were extracted based on clustering results. The heat exchange on the user-side during one cooling season was processed as a case study. We obtained 5 valid clusters and extracted patterns from each. For the studied case, the result based on the DTW method yields a better homogeneity compared to the Euclidean method. The method is then applied to a five-year operation data, where 9 and 6 patterns were obtained for the cooling and heating seasons, respectively. They mainly differed in shape, and the cooling patterns fluctuate more. Overall, clustering and pattern extraction can reduce the data dimension, and provide a data-driven view of how the system supplies the cooling and heating.

    Abstract The phase change cooling (PCC) technology combined with porous media is a promising way to enhance the performance of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system. Nevertheless, the application of this method is rarely mentioned in PV/T system. This paper aims to build a new phase change self-circulation (PCSC) PV/T system based on PCC technology and porous media. The system is constructed under outdoor conditions using commercial solar panel with the size of 550 mm × 460 mm × 25 mm. The performance of the system is accessed from energetic and exergetic concept under varying operating conditions (such as solar irradiance, mass flow rates, operating temperature). The obtained data shows that the proposed system is feasible with an average cooling efficiency of 34.6%, and the maximum panel temperature difference is 4.2 °C. The average daily electrical energies of the PCSC PV/T system under mass flow rates of 0.004 kg/s, 0.007 kg/s, 0.009 kg/s are 95.36 W/m², 94.68 W/m², and 95.79 W/m², respectively. The results are competitive compared with other works. In addition, the results also prove that the attached glass cover is beneficial to harvest thermal energy but not to electrical energy. Moreover, LCOE results indicate that the proposed system is economical compared with reference PV system.

    Abstract Carbon dioxide heat pump is considered a potential low-carbon combined cooling and heating solution. However, there is a strong need for simple methods to improve the energy efficiency of the carbon dioxide heat pump due to the larger throttling losses that result in poor performance. Given this, a compact water-cooled subcooler-assisted carbon dioxide heat pump for combined cooling and heating is designed in this paper. An experimental test platform is built, where experimental investigations are performed to reveal the working performance. Furthermore, a matching control strategy is developed and verified as well. The experiments demonstrated that the adoption of the water-cooled subcooler has significantly improved the cooling performance. The cooling capacity (Q̇c) and cooling coefficient of performance (COPc) are increased by up to 20.2% and 31.5%, respectively. Moreover, the optimal discharge pressure is lowered by 0.5 MPa. However, the heating performance is somewhat degraded, for which the control strategy with the synergistic variation of subcooling degree and compressor rotation speed is developed. The deteriorated heating performance is thus mitigated. The developed control strategy has been verified in practice, and the carbon dioxide heat pump performance could be maintained at the highest possible level. Q̇c and COPc are further improved by a maximum of 40.7% and 37.7%, respectively. The heating and overall coefficient of performance could reach 2.55 and 5.10 at the return water and outlet water temperatures of 40 °C and 75 °C, respectively.
