摘要Urban populations are increasingly exposed to extreme heat due to climate change and rapid urbanization,heightening health risks in cities worldwide.Accurate heat exposure assessment is essential for public health planning and risk reduction.Most existing approaches rely on a single threshold temperature(e.g.,35℃of daily max temperature),applied uniformly to the entire population.However,this one-size-fits-all assumption overlooks substantial differences in heat sensitivity across population subgroups.In this study,we address this limitation by quantifying subgroup-specific temperature-mortality relationships and using corresponding minimum mortality temperatures(MMTs)to assess heat exposure.Results show that the population-wide MMT was 27.5℃,but it varied greatly across population subgroups.The elderly population(≥65)had an MMT of 24.6℃,much lower than the 28.6℃observed in younger individuals(<65).Females also exhibited a lower MMT that males(25℃versus 28.2℃).However,educational attainment did not significantly affect MMT.Using a uniform MMT resulted in substantial underestimation of heat exposure,ranging from 25.3%in 1990 to 13.9%in 2020,reflecting demographic shifts over time.Spatially,nearly half of the city experienced underestimated heat risk,especially in central and northeastern regions where heat-vulnerable populations are concentrated.These findings underscore the need for more nuanced heat exposure assessments that account for demographic and spatial variability,paving the way for targeted public health interventions to protect the most vulnerable urban populations.

摘要BACKGROUND Despite 5-aminosalicylic acid(5-ASA)being the first-line therapy for ulcerative colitis(UC),there is limited real-world evidence concerning sex-specific differences in the efficacy of 5-ASA therapy and patient prognosis.AIM To investigate sex-disparities in 5-ASA treatment responses and long-term outcomes in a Chinese large-scale UC cohort.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 554 consecutive UC patients treated with 5-ASA at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2003 and June 2023.The rates of endoscopic mucosal healing(EMH)and colectomy were compared between the female and male cohorts,and 1:1 propensity score matching(PSM)was performed for demographics,comorbid conditions and drugs,disease conditions,laboratory parameters,and UC medication use.Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed for survival analyses.RESULTS There were 243 patients in the female cohort(mean age,34.8±11.3 years;21.4%with ulcerative proctitis)and 311 patients in the male cohort(mean age,36.2±13.5 years;22.8%with ulcerative proctitis).After PSM,there was a higher risk of UC flare-up in the male vs female cohort[adjusted odds ratio=2.78,95%confidence interval(CI):1.69-4.55,P<0.001].Male sex was an independent protective factor against EMH[adjusted hazard ratio(aHR)=0.89,95%CI:0.87-0.91,P=0.03]and a risk factor for colectomy(aHR=1.93,95%CI:1.13-3.29,P=0.02).Male patients had longer EMH-free survival(aHR=0.63,95%CI:0.39-1.00,P=0.048)and shorter colectomy-free survival(aHR=1.80,95%CI:1.06-3.05,P=0.027).CONCLUSION Pronounced sex-specific differences exist in 5-ASA therapy efficacy and patient prognosis.Male sex is associated with more frequent relapses,a lower likelihood of EMH,and a higher risk of colectomy.

摘要The land-sea temperature difference(LSTD)serves as a pivotal indicator of thermal contrast in the land-sea interface.Variations in this difference drive an acceleration of the water cycle,increase atmospheric moisture retention,and potentially trigger extreme precipitation events,thereby exerting a profound influence on both regional and global climatic patterns.In this study,Moderateresolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)remote sensing data and meteorological station observations spanning from 2001 to 2021 are employed to investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics of LSTD and extreme precipitation,as well as the relationships between them in eastern China and its three buffer zones of 100 km,200 km and 300 km from the coastline to the land and sea.Results indicate that the LSTD was generally negative in eastern China,with the difference becoming smaller in the buffer zone as it approached the coastline.The variation in LSTD displayed a prevalent downward trend,and the most substantial decline was observed within the 100 km buffer zone.Spatially,the LSTD demonstrated a distinct upward trend north of 26°N,contrasting with a downward trend observed south of this latitudinal boundary.In eastern China,both the very wet day precipitation(R95p)and the number of extremely heavy precipitation days(R25)exhibited a non-significant upward trend,with the most pronounced increase occurring in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.Consecutive dry days(CDD)primarily showed a non-significant decreasing trend,while consecutive wet days(CWD)were characterized as a considerable upward trend only in the coastal area of the northern East China Sea.LSTD commonly correlated positively with R95p and R25 in eastern China,and the regions with significant positive correlation were mainly located in the northern Bohai Sea area and south of 30°N.Moreover,LSTD generally exhibited a negative correlation with CDD and a positive correlation with CWD,but neither correlation was significant in eastern China.These findings offer new insights into the characteristics of land-sea warming disparities and their impacts on precipitation extremes in eastern China,providing crucial references for mitigating and adapting to climate change in this transitional zone between land and sea.

摘要Soil-structural interfaces,such as those between foundations,tunnels,retaining walls,and slopes,serve as critical zones for stress and deformation transfer in geotechnical systems.Although extensive research exists on two-dimensional interface mechanics,the zonal characteristics,non-coaxial behavior,and reversible volumetric deformation mechanisms under three-dimensional(3D)loading remain poorly understood.To address this gap,a series of discrete element method(DEM)simulations focused on the phase-dependent response of shear stress,normal displacement,and microstructural interactions were conducted in this study.The influence of the tangential displacement phase difference Dpon the 3D cyclic shear behavior of gravel-structure interfaces under circular shear paths was investigated based on DEM.The controlling role of shear path geometry in governing non-coaxial behavior and reversible volumetric deformation is explicitly revealed.Specifically,it is demonstrated that stable,hysteretic stress-displacement loops with minimal volumetric hysteresis are promoted by circular shear paths(Dp=π/2,3π/2),whereas abrupt stress reversals and amplified dilatancy-recompression cycles are induced by bidirectional linear paths(Dp=π,2π).Furthermore,periodic oscillations of non-coaxial angles(α3)are observed,transitioning from 90°under pure rotation to peak fluctuations exceeding 30°under phase-shifted shear.These mechanistic understandings are highlighted as being crucial for the advancement of 3D interface constitutive models.

摘要Based on an index system established from the dimensions of ecology,life,and production,this study measures the governance efficiency of rural human settlements in the Yangtze River Economic Belt(YREB)using the super-efficient slack-based measure model.The Gini coefficient,Markov chain,and Tobit regression model are employed to analyze the YREB’s regional disparities,dynamic trends,and influencing factors,providing a theoretical basis for promoting rural revitalization and regional coordination development.The results show that:(1)The overall governance efficiency exhibits a fluctuating uptrend,with a spatial pattern of“downstream>midstream>upstream”.(2)Moreover,regional differences of efficiency show a fluctuating downtrend,with inter-regional disparities as the primary sources.(3)The Markov chain indicates strong convergence in low-efficiency regions and low stability in high-efficiency regions.(4)Finally,governance efficiency can be significantly influenced by financial support,informatization,economic development,and education level.These results demonstrated the need for differentiated policies to narrow regional gaps and enhance synergistic,sustainable improvement in rural human settlements.
摘要Objective:To determine the prevalence,severity,and audiometric characteristics of age-related hearing loss(ARHL)in older Chinese adults attending a tertiary otolaryngology clinic,with emphasis on age-and sex-specific patterns based on the updated World Health Organization(WHO 2020)cri-teria.Methods:In this cross-sectional study,1,000 adults aged≥60 years underwent otologic examination,tympanometry,and pure-tone audiometry at a tertiary medical center between March 2022 and January 2023.Individuals with abnormal tympanograms or evidence of middle ear disease were excluded.Pure-tone averages(0.5,1,2,and 4 kHz)from the better ear were used to define and grade ARHL.Age-and sex-related differences in hearing thresholds were assessed using chi-square tests,t-tests,and two-way ANOVA.Results:Within this tertiary-care outpatient cohort,the prevalence of hearing loss according to WHO 2020 criteria was 84.1%,rising from 78.3%in the 60s to 100%in those aged over 90 years.Hearing thresholds showed a consistent high-frequency-sloping configuration,with high-frequency(8,000 Hz)thresholds declining at nearly double the rate of low-to-mid frequencies(11.7 dB vs.4.5-6.3 dB per decade).The steepest decadal deterioration occurred between the 70s and 80s,characterized by a transition from high-frequency sensory loss to generalized cochlear decline.A sex-dependent"crossover"was observed:females exhibited superior hearing in their 60s and 70s but experienced more rapid deterioration in late life,resulting in comparable or poorer thresholds than males by their 80s and 90s.Conclusion:In this tertiary-care outpatient cohort of older Chinese adults,ARHL demonstrated distinct age-and sex-specific trajectories,including disproportionate high-frequency vulnerability and a late-life sex crossover effect.Adoption of WHO 2020 criteria substantially increased hearing-loss identification,particularly among adults in their 60s and 70s.

摘要China's requisition-compensation balance strategy has dramatically reshaped cropland spatial patterns,drawing multidisciplinary research attention.However,existing studies predominantly emphasize horizontal distribution,overlooking the significant influence of slope gradient on cropland spatial patterns.This paper proposes a slope location quotient(SLQ)index that reflects the relative advantage of cropland distribution and explores the slope grade difference of cropland spatial patterns in China at the county scale.The analysis adopts 30-m resolution digital elevation model with land cover data,taking 2672 counties with cropland ratio>1%as study units.The temporal scope covers 1990 and 2020,with slope gradients categorized into five grades:0°~2°,2°~6°,6°~15°,15°~25°,and 25°~90°.Results show that:1)The inverse correlation between cropland area and slope gradient remained stable throughout the study period,with the variation in cropland area frequency across slope grades being less than 1%.2)The spatial patterns of SLQ in 1990 and 2020 both transited stepwise with slope gradient,while≤2°and>6°slopes exhibited opposing patterns.3)The mean absolute variation of SLQ during 1990-2020 increased with slope gradient(R2=0.926,p15°,the mean absolute variation reached 0.26(for 15°~25°)and 0.43(for 25°~90°),respectively,and displayed a distinct southward-increasing and northwarddecreasing pattern.This study offers novel slopegradient perspectives for analyzing cropland spatial patterns.To enhance cropland protection benefits,reversing the steep cropland SLQ surge in southern China is recommended.

摘要This paper presents an efficient and automated Overset Grid Assembly(OGA)method for the structured grid,and investigates high-order interpolation methods for inter-grid boundaries with the cell-centered finite difference method.Four enhancements are introduced:a hybrid holecutting approach integrates the efficiency of approximate hole-cutting and the accuracy and robustness of direct-cutting,effectively addressing challenges such as small gaps and thin cuts;an improved implicit hole boundary optimization method,incorporating quality comparison,can significantly reduce donor search workloads;an improved implicit interpolation cell cancellation algorithm minimizes overlap regions,particularly beneficial for high-order interpolation with large stencils;an algorithm for identifying and eliminating islands without using wall distances,effectively removes islands.The OGA results of a multi-element airfoil,a circular array of cylinders,multiple spheres,and a wing-pylon-store configuration indicate that the proposed method would be a suitable selection for multi-body problems,even in the presence of small gaps and thin geometries.Additionally,for high-order interpolation at inter-grid boundaries,this study presents an optimized interpolation method designed to minimize spectral property errors.Numerical results indicate that for periodic problems frequently crossing inter-grid boundaries,the optimized interpolation is more accurate than classical Lagrange interpolation and would be a suitable selection.

摘要The mirror energy difference(MED)of the mirror state,particularly for states exhibiting the Thomas-Ehrman shift,serves as a sensitive probe of mirror symmetry breaking.We employ the Gamow shell model,which includes the inter-nucleon correlation and continuum coupling,to investigate the MED for sd-shell nuclei by taking18Ne∕18O and19Na∕19O as examples.Our GSM provides good descriptions of the excitation energies and MEDs for the18Ne∕18O and19Na∕19O.Furthermore,our calculations also reveal that the large MED of the mirror states is caused by the significant occupation of the weakly bound or unbound s1∕2waves,giving the radial density distribution of the state in the proton-rich nucleus greater extension than that of mirror states in deeply bound neutron-rich nuclei.In addition,our GSM calculation shows that the contribution of the Coulomb interaction is different for the low-lying states in proton-rich nuclei,which significantly contributes to the MEDs of mirror states,as is well recognized.Finally,our GSM calculation indicates that the contributions of the nucleon-nucleon interaction are different for the mirror state,especially for the state of proton-rich nuclei bearing the Thomas-Ehrman shift,which also contributes to the significant mirror symmetry breaking with a large MED.

摘要Objective:Autism spectrum disorder(ASD)has become an increasingly serious global public health challenge,with a continuously rising disease burden and marked sex differences.This study aims to evaluate the long-term trends and global distribution patterns of sex differences in the burden of ASD and to project future changes,thereby providing evidence for ASD prevention and management.Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease(GBD)2021 data,disability-adjusted life years(DALYs)for ASD were extracted for 204 countries and territories.Combined with the sociodemographic index(SDI),the average annual percentage change(AAPC)was used to analyze sex differences in temporal trends and spatial distribution of ASD burden from 1990 to 2021,and to project trends from 2022 to 2050.Results:From 1990 to 2021,the global age-standardized DALY rate(ASDR)for ASD was significantly higher in males than in females,and this pattern is projected to persist through 2050.The absolute difference(AD)in ASDR ranged from 103.5 to 105.3 per 100000,and the relative difference(RD)ranged from 1.0 to 1.1,with the most pronounced sex differences observed in East Asia and high-SDI regions.The male ASDR showed an increasing trend from 1990 to 2021,whereas the female ASDR is projected to increase after 2021,particularly in Africa.In 2021,global DALYs for ASD peaked among children under 5 years of age(221.9 per 100000 in males and 112.8 per 100000 in females),and the relative difference in DALYs increased with age.The absolute difference in DALYs during adulthood generally declined but increased among young adults and those aged≥70 years,consistent with the pattern observed for relative differences.At the national level,sex differences were positively correlated with SDI and universal health coverage(UHC),and negatively correlated with the gender inequality index(GII)(all P<0.001).Spain,Japan,Singapore,South Korea,and China were identified as outliers to these associations.Conclusion:Sex differences in the burden of ASD persist globally and increase with age.Targeted prevention and control strategies tailored to different sexes and age groups are warranted.

摘要Understanding the cellular and molecular distribution of cannabinoids can address a highly contentious perspective in the pain neuroscience field:whether cannabinoids are viable in pain relief.Due to insufficient evidence for cannabinoids in reducing pain in clinical trials and gaps in knowledge across the translational research process,the International Association for the Study of Pain(IASP)published a position statement in 2021 recommending against the general use of cannabinoids to treat pain.A possible mechanistic reason for the lack of translatability is interspecies differences in the expression of the cannabinoid type 1 and type 2 receptors at the tissue and cellular levels.Additionally,the anatomical site that is most important for analgesia has been elusive.This review aims to provide a deeper understanding of the anatomical distribution of cannabinoid receptors throughout the nervous system across species.We traverse historical and contemporary literature to illustrate the progression of methodology and perspectives.We discuss co-localized markers on cannabinoid receptor-expressing cells to elucidate possible anatomically dependent roles of the endocannabinoid system.We also discuss differences in cannabinoid receptor expression across species that may contribute to challenges in translatability between rodents and humans.Lastly,we cover how various types of pain can differentially alter the expression of cannabinoid receptors and how this may impact cannabinoid-based therapeutics.

摘要Due to the complex and dynamic nature of multi-phase interfaces,accurately capturing interface evolution remains one of the key challenges in multi-phase flow simulations,particularly in modeling bubble rising.In this study,a fully Lagrangian method is developed by using the Generalized Finite Difference(GFD)scheme,which we refer to as Finite Difference Particle Method(FDPM),and the Continuum Surface Force(CSF)model to simulate bubble dynamics.In this framework,the fluid is represented by particles,and all partial differential terms in the Navier–Stokes equations are discretized into symmetric linear systems using the GFD scheme.Notably,the interface curvature required by the CSF model is computed directly via the Laplacian of the color function,rather than through the divergence of the unit normal vector.The bubble relaxation cases with various density ratios(up to 1000)are tested,revealing that the pressure distributions inside and outside the bubbles generally agree with theoretical predictions.Finally,simulations of rising bubbles with a high density ratio(1:1000)and Reynolds number of 25 demonstrate that the time evolution of the bubble’s center of mass by FDPM is consistent with results obtained by the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH)and the Finite Element Method(FEM)approaches.

摘要Hyperspectral image(HSI)denoising is a crucial preprocessing step that significantly enhances the performance of downstream applications,such as object detection and classification.Whereas deep neural networks have achieved remarkable performance in HSI denoising,many existing models rely mostly on vanilla convolutions,which often fail to capture fine-grained noise patterns and structural details in real-time HSIs.To address these limitations,we propose a novel Center-Difference Convolutional Network(CDCN)designed to effectively suppress various noise types while preserving the inherent structure of HSIs.By leveraging center-difference convolution(CDC),our model captures both gradient and intensity information in the spatial domain,enabling better discrimination of subtle noise characteristics.The CDCN architecture processes 3D HSI cubes through separable 3D convolutions,efficiently extracting spatial-spectral features with minimal computational overhead.Additionally,a spatial-spectral attention mechanism is integrated to further refine feature representation.We evaluate the proposed method on one simulated dataset(Kennedy Space Center)and two real-world datasets(Pavia Center and Houston-2018).Experimental results demonstrate that CDCN consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches,achieving superior denoising performance while maintaining spectral-spatial information.Ablation studies also validate the effectiveness of CDC and attention mechanisms in enhancing denoising capability over standard convolutional baselines.
