Using fs/QCA to explore the influencing factors of urban green infrastructure development and its combinational drivers: the case of the Yangtze River Delta region of China.

High levels of urban green infrastructure (UGI) development can help mitigate the climate, biodiversity, and habitat crises faced by cities and support the achievement of sustainable urban development. Based on the relevant data of 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta region obtained from 2011 to 2020, this study measured the development level of natural and geographic conditions, economic development, urban construction, social and cultural development, and eco-environment quality and urban green infrastructure (UGI); evaluated the development trend of UGI in the region during the 12th Five-Year Plan and 13th Five-Year Plan by using entropy TOPSIS; and used fs/QCA to explain the high-level development path of each city toward the achievement of a green infrastructure. The results showed that (1) the development level of UGI in the Yangtze River Delta region decreases from southeast to northwest, and gradually decreases from Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other central cities. (2) There were several different configurations of high levels and non-high levels of UGI development drivers across regions, confirming the existence of multiple causality and asymmetry indices in the drivers of UGI. (3) During the "12th Five-Year Plan" and the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the conditions needed to achieve a high level of UGI gradually became stricter, expanding from nature-social culture and urban construction-eco-environmental drivers to nature-urban construction, nature-social culture-eco-environmental, urban construction-economy-social culture-eco-environmental drivers. Research findings can provide greater guidance and implications for future sustainable urban development.

Factors Influencing Students' Career Intentions in the Hospitality and Tourism Industries: A Meta-Analysis.

This study adopted a meta-analysis to generalize and compare the effect of influencing factors on hospitality and tourism management students' career intentions from 34 studies. After 13 existing factors were classified into four categories, the results revealed that 11 of them significantly impact students' career intentions. In general, the influences of social identity and self-perception are more important, followed by school education and work conditions. A subgroup analysis further identified the sample students' grades as dynamics that partially moderate some of the influencing factors, while no statistical changes in the relative influences were observed after the COVID-19 outbreak. Finally, suggestions are provided for hospitality and tourism management education and industries.

Correlation analysis between TSP2, MMP-9 and perihematoma edema, as well as the short-term prognosis of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND: To analyze the correlation between thrombospondin-2 (TSP2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, and perihematomal edema, as well as the short-term prognosis of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS: The clinical data of 114 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to February 2020 were collected and divided into groups according to the levels of TSP2 and MMP-9. We compared edema indexes in patients with different levels of TSP2 and MMP-9, and analyzed the correlation between TSP2, MMP-9 and relative edema volume index (REI), edema change index (AEI). We also assessed the TSP2 and MMP-9 levels in patients with different prognoses, and analyzed the predictive value of TSP2 and MMP-9 for poor prognosis of patients. RESULTS: (I) There was no difference in the REI and AEI values between the low and high TSP2 groups at admission and 24 h after admission (P>0.05), while the REI and AEI values of the high TSP2 group at 5 and 15 d after admission were significantly lower than those of the low TSP2 group (P<0.05); (II) the REI and AEI values of patients with different MMP-9 levels were not different between admission and 24 h after admission (P>0.05), while the REI and AEI values of the high MMP-9 group were significantly higher than those of the low MMP-9 group at 5 and 15 d after admission (P<0.05); (III) Pearson correlation analysis showed that MMP-9 was positively correlated with REI and AEI, while TSP2 was negatively correlated (P<0.05); (IV) among 114 patients, 39 had poor prognosis, 75 had good prognosis The MMP-9 levels of patients with a poor prognosis were significantly higher than those of patients with a good prognosis, and the TSP2 level was the opposite (P<0.05); (V) receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the sensitivity, specificity and the area under the curve (AUC) of the TSP2 + MMP-9 combination in the diagnosis of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were significantly higher than when TSP2 and MMP-9 were tested separately (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, TSP2 is negatively correlated with edema around the hematoma, while MMP-9 is positively correlated.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of continuous cerebrospinal fluid drainage on keyhole surgery during the perioperative period.

BACKGROUND: Lumbar continuous drainage of fluid (LCDF) has become more widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases in recent years. The use of LCDF can enable a better understanding of the patient's condition and reduce the incidence of related complications. LCDF can also affect complications of perforation surgery, including mortality during hospitalization, cerebral vasospasm (CVS), bleeding, and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS: Articles published from library construction to April 2021 were searched for in the English-language databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with LCDF and hole locking surgery were meta-analyzed using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS: Ten RCTs involving 1,092 patients (continuous drainage group, n=585; control group, n=507) were included in the meta-analysis. For the statistical different in incidence of perioperative cerebral infarction in the two groups, the odds ratio (OR) was 5.42 [95% confidence interval (CI): (2.71, 10.83); P<0.00001], and for the statistical difference in the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage, the OR was 4.76 [95% CI: (2.11, 10.76); P=0.0002]. Perioperative complications were fewer in the LCDF-treated drainage group than in the conventional group. DISCUSSION: This meta-analysis of 10 RCTs confirmed that LCDF compared with other treatments is associated with a lower incidence of perioperative complications, such as cerebral hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, and cerebral infarction, as well as increased Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS).
