Global burden of burns and its association with socio-economic development status, 1990-2019.

BACKGROUND: Burns represent important global health problems. Whereas many studies are limited by the difficulties in estimating the burden of burns and instead focus on the causes of burns, such as fire, heat, and hot substances. Therefore, a complete assessment of the burden of all injuries leading to burns is essential to developing reasonable global intervention strategies. METHODS: Data on three classes of burns, including "< 20 % total burned surface area without lower airway burns" (Moderate injury), "> =20 % total burned surface area or > = 10 % burned surface area if head/neck or hands/wrist involved w/o lower airway burns" (Major injury), "Lower airway burns" (Inhalation injury) were collected from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 database. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASR-I) and Years Lived with Disability (ASR-YLDs) for burns has been standardized by removing the influence of population size and age structure. They were extracted and stratified by cause, year, sex, age, socio-demographic index, country, and territory. RESULTS: In terms of ASR-I and ASR-YLDs, burns showed a significant decrease from 1990 to 2019, especially for moderate and major injury. In 2019, the burden of moderate injury was positively correlated with socio-demographic index while major injury was negatively correlated (P < 0.05). We found no correlation between socio-demographic index and the burden for inhalation injury (P > 0.05). Fire, heat, and hot substances were the most important cause of burns except for inhalation injury. The most common association with inhalation injury was falls, which were also a major cause of moderate and major injury. CONCLUSIONS: The Global Burden of Disease 2019 database data can be used to guide the allocation of resources to reduce ASR-I and ASR-YLDs of different burn classes.

EUS development in China: Results from national surveys in 2013 and 2020.

Background and Objectives: EUS has recently gained attraction in mainland China. This study aimed to evaluate the development of EUS from results of two national surveys. Methods: EUS-related information, including infrastructure, personnel, volume, and quality indicator, was extracted from the Chinese Digestive Endoscopy Census. Data from 2012 and 2019 were compared, and differences among various hospitals and regions were analyzed. The EUS rates (EUS annual volume per 100,000 inhabitants) between China and developed countries were also compared. Results: The number of hospitals performing EUS in mainland China increased from 531 to 1236 (2.33-fold), and 4025 endoscopists performed EUS in 2019. The volumes of all EUS and interventional EUS increased from 207,166 to 464,182 (2.24-fold) and 10,737 to 15,334 (1.43-fold), respectively. The EUS rate in China was lower than that in developed countries but showed a higher growth rate. EUS rate varied substantially among different provincial regions (in 2019: 4.9-152.0 per 100,000 inhabitants) and showed significant positive association with gross domestic product per capita (in 2019: r = 0.559, P = 0.001). The EUS-FNA-positive rate in 2019 was comparable between hospitals in terms of annual volume (≥50 or < 50: 79.9% vs. 71.6%, P = 0.704) and practice duration (starting EUS-FNA before or after 2012: 78.7% vs. 72.6%, P = 0.565). Conclusion: EUS has developed considerably in China in recent years but still needs substantial improvement. More resources are in demand for hospitals in less-developed regions and with low EUS volume.

Reflections on development status of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Central Asian countries / 国际中医中药杂志

Central Asia is an important hub connecting the Asian continent and European continent, and one of the key regions for China's foreign exchange and cooperation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Central Asian countries have relatively backward medical conditions, and TCM has become an important part of local healthcare. Regulations on traditional/complementary and alternative medicine have been issued in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan; acupuncture and moxibustion has been covered by medical insurance in Kyrgyzstan; TCM has existed in other Central Asian countries in form of folk medicine. Central Asian countries are extremely rich in medicinal plant resources, but weak in foundation of pharmaceutical industry. Chinese government has signed cooperation agreements on TCM with many Central Asian countries, and the practical cooperation in the field of traditional medicine have continued to expand. At present, the development of TCM in Central Asian countries still faces problems such as weak foundation for the development and utilization of medicinal materials, shortage of professionals talents in TCM education and small scale of TCM clinics. In view of the above, in order to promote the dissemination and development of TCM in Central Asian countries, it is recommended that relevant units promote the establishment of joint laboratories or research centers of Chinese materia medica; give full play to local resource advantages and promote the development of medicinal plant industry; to strengthen the construction of overseas centers of TCM; actively carry out joint education or further education projects, and cultivate localized senior talents.

Present situation and countermeasures of occupational disease diagnosis institutions in China / 环境与职业医学

Background China is facing enormous challenges of occupational disease prevention and control and high incidences of occupational diseases. Occupational disease diagnosis is an important part of occupational disease prevention and control. However, the current situation of occupational disease diagnosis service system in China is not optimistic. Relevant national laws, regulations, policies, and plans require to improve the current technical support system of occupational disease diagnosis and treatment, and to establish a sound occupational disease diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation network on the foundation of existing medical and health institutions. Objective To analyze the development status and existing problems of occupational disease diagnosis institutions in China, and propose countermeasures and suggestions. Methods All occupational disease diagnosis institutions in China were surveyed by questionnaire using comprehensive census. The Occupational Health Center of the National Health Commission organized the preparation of the questionnaire and the participation of all relevant institutions in the survey. All data collected in the survey were for the year 2020 and available as of December 31, 2020. The questionnaire covered the overall situation, service provided, staffing of certified physicians for providing occupational disease diagnosis, and instruments in selected categories of occupational disease diagnosis institutions. Results As of December 2020, there were 587 occupational disease diagnosis institutions in China; the highest average number of enterprises served by an occupational disease diagnosis institution was 39000, and that of employees served by an occupational disease diagnosis institution was 2.15 million in Chongqing. There were a total of 5809 physicians certified to diagnose occupational diseases in China, with 20.4 doctors per specified occupational disease prevention and treatment hospital, 9.5 doctors per general hospital, and 8.3 doctors per disease control and prevention center. Only 87.7% of the institutions were equipped with digital radiography (DR), 58.1% with computed tomography (CT), and 96.4% with pulmonary function meters; the equipment rate of computed radiography (CR) was only 6.5%, and that of CT was only 14.6% in all-level disease control and prevention centers; 45 disease control and prevention centers were not equipped with any common x-ray machine, CR, DR, or CT. Conclusion In the face of the still serious situation of prevention and treatment of occupational diseases, the overall distribution of institutions is uneven around China, the number of institutions in some regions is relatively insufficient, and the comprehensive capacity of centers for disease control and prevention at all levels needs to be improved. Strengthening comprehensive capacity building of occupational disease diagnosis institutions and training of relevant physicians would be helpful to ensure the accuracy and scientificity of diagnosis. At the national level, further increasing policy guidance and financial input would help occupational disease diagnosis institutions upgrade their techniques and service capacity, and protect workers' occupational health rights.

The development status and analysis of TCM in Latin America Countries / 国际中医中药杂志

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has become an important part in the healthcare system of Latin American countries, especially the TCM therapy represented by acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture and moxibustion has been included in the medical insurance system of Brazil and Ecuador, and many universities in Brazil, Cuba, Mexico and other countries offer courses related to traditional medicine, including acupuncture and moxibustion courses. Latin American counties are rich in medicinal plant resources. Argentina, Chile, Colombia and other countries have publicized regulations related to the use of herbs.China has signed cooperation agreements on TCM with many Latin American countries and, they have showed desire to strengthen cooperation with China. At present, the development of TCM in Latin American countries faces some problems, such as the scale of TCM clinics is small, the quality of TCM training are unbalanced, and there are many restrictions on TCM products entering the Latin American market. In order to promote cooperation with Latin American countries in TCM and expand its scale and development, it is suggested that China should carry out in-depth cooperation on global public health governance at the national level, plan the layout of overseas centers of TCM in Latin America and promote the construction, while scientific research institutions of TCM should carry out joint research on TCM with Latin American countries, and strengthen cooperation in running schools to standardize TCM education.

PEST analysis and countermeasure research on the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Lancang Mekong area / 国际中医中药杂志

This paper uses PEST analysis method to analyze the macro environment of the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the Lancang-Mekong area. China has stable political relations with the other five countries in the Lancang-Mekong area, and governments attach great importance to TCM. TCM can reduce the economic burden of patients in the Mekong countries, and the five countries have extensive market. The Mekong countries recognize traditional medicine, and their local cultures and customs are similar to China. The medical level and pharmaceutical technology of TCM have advantages in the Mekong countries, and the registration standards of TCM and TCM practitioners are friendly. However, TCM also faces problems such as limited scale, insufficient service capacity, lack of policy guarantee and insufficient talents in the Mekong countries.Therefore, it is suggested to rely on intergovernmental cooperation to further tap the development potential of TCM in the Mekong countries; take advantage of overseas Chinese groups to promote the development of TCM; encourage enterprises to enter and expand the market of TCM; and actively cultivate international TCM talents.

The Relationship between Early Alcohol Use Behaviors and Adolescent Pubertal and Psychosocial Development: A Latent Growth Analysis.

OBJECTIVE: The present longitudinal study examines how age of alcohol initiation and regular use (weekly drinking for ≥6 months) relates to adolescent physiological development, social behaviors, psychological functioning, and substance use patterns. Method: Data are drawn from a prospective sample of 295 youth (42% female) who completed a 15-year longitudinal study. The current investigation uses data collected at 4 timepoints from ages 12-19. Results: Latent growth modeling revealed earlier age of alcohol initiation is associated with (1) a more advanced stage of pubertal development, more self-reported dating experience, and greater externalizing behaviors at ages 12-13 (study entry); (2) a slower rate of change in pubertal development; and (3) greater rate of increase in externalizing and internalizing symptoms from ages 12 to 19. These relationships were not moderated by gender. Conclusion: Early alcohol initiation appears to be associated with early onset pubertal development and dating behaviors. Over time, early alcohol use behaviors may delay pubertal development while exacerbating psychological risk behaviors (i.e. externalizing and internalizing behaviors). These findings suggest the importance of delaying alcohol initiation and may be beneficial for improving existing adolescent substance use prevention efforts.

Review on Auricularia auricula-judae as a Functional Food: Growth, Chemical Composition, and Biological Activities.

Although the application of Auricularia auricula-judae (AAJ) for health purposes has a long tradition in Asia, there is a lack of research on the functional nutrition of AAJ; the current research focused on polysaccharides has been too unitary compared to other mushrooms in recent years. Identification, extraction, and large-scale production of biologically active substances have emerged as critical determinants that determine AAJ becoming a functional food. AAJ is being treated in a restrained manner, despite having significant potential as a drug or a source of pure bioactive substances. Functional ingredients of mushrooms and AAJ have emerged as a new impetus for researchers interested in developing functional foods. This review presents an overview of current studies relevant to nutrition and the application of AAJ. The physiological conditions of AAJ and the corresponding functional ingredients beneficial to human health are reviewed to better understand the function and mechanisms of different nutrient contents. Relevant methods for evaluating the efficiency of extraction are also summarized. Finally, current limitations and the future scope for functional ingredients of AAJ are identified and discussed.
