Environmental deterioration in the age of industrialization and production: do industrial competition and renewable energy reduce the ecological burden?

The modern era of globalization, economic development, and increase in manufacturing activity pose severe risks to the natural environment. In this context, industries must prioritize sustainable economic growth and development. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide insight into industrial competition, renewable energy, economic freedom, manufacturing value added, economic growth, and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2 emissions) in the top ten high-income countries from 1997 to 2019. The results from panel cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL), augmented mean group (AMG), and common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) techniques revealed that economic growth and industrial production have a harmful influence on CO2 emissions. Meanwhile, industrial competitiveness, renewable energy, and economic freedom are all negatively associated with CO2 emissions. This specifies that industrial competitiveness, renewable energy, and economic freedom are favorably related to environmental sustainability by limiting CO2 emissions in the top ten high-income countries. These findings imply that governments and responsible authorities/policymakers develop strategies to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing value addition and economic growth in the top ten high-income countries and allocate more financial resources to renewable energy and promote industrial competition.

Research Progress of Lymph Node Micrometastasis in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer / 中国肺癌杂志

The incidence and mortality of lung cancer rank top in China. One important factor is the occurrence of metastasis. With the development of science technology, the effect of surgical treatment on lung cancer is improved. Moreover, the use of targeted therapy has achieved a new height for the treatment of lung cancer. However, the recurrence rate remains high even the tumor was completely resected at early stage. The occurrence of lymph node micrometastasis is considered as one of the plausible explanations. The difficulty indetecting micrometastasis has been greatly reduced. Although studies dig deeper into the lymph node micrometastasis, there are still some controversies including the selection of surgical procedures, the pathological staging and prognosis about patients with lymph node micrometastasis. This review manages to generalize the latest research progress of lymph node micrometastasis.
