Spatio-temporal pattern and the evolution of the distributional dynamics of county-level agricultural economic resilience in China.

Because the complexity of the external environment has put great pressure on the agricultural economy, making it vulnerable, it is necessary to promote a system of resilience in the agricultural economy so that Chinese agriculture can continue to persevere in the face of serious external uncertainties. Therefore, this paper investigates the spatio-temporal pattern and evolution of the distributional dynamics of China's county-level agricultural economic resilience based on 2000-2020 data covering 2,545 counties. The results are as follows: first, from 2000 to 2020, the mean value of China's county-level agricultural economic resilience showed an obvious upward trend, which indicates that China's agricultural economy gradually increased its ability to resist risks and continued to develop in a favourable manner. Specifically, the county-level agricultural economic resilience index of the northeast region grew the most significantly, while the index of county units in the western region was relatively low. Second, the centre of gravity of the spatial distribution of China's agricultural economic resilience gradually migrated to the northwest, showing a dominant direction from northeast to southwest and a tendency to develop from southeast to northwest. Third, the spatial differences in China's agricultural economic resilience generally showed an upward trend, while county-level differences were the main source of the overall differences, followed by inter-provincial differences, inter-municipal differences and inter-regional differences. Additionally, the contribution of county-level differences to the overall differences fluctuated within the range of 54%-58%. Fourth, there is a possibility of localized convergence in China's agricultural economic resilience, which is continuous in spatial effects and has obvious positively correlated spatial effects at different times and in different county spaces.

Robot-assisted laminectomy in spinal surgery: a systematic review.

This study aimed to summarize the current progress in the field of robot-assisted laminectomy in spinal surgery. A systematic search of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, PubMed, Embase, Web of science, The Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biomedicine Literature Database (CBM-SinoMed) was performed for papers related to robotic-assisted laminectomy. A total of 27 articles were selected for inclusion in our study. Among the articles, 10 robotic system, 2 bone cutting strategies, 6 state recognition strategies were founded. The most commonly adopted type of robot system was the Nathoo A type (6/10). Bone cutting strategies were mainly formulated based on force information and medical image information, and state recognition was based on a variety of factors, including force, sound, vibration, medical images, current or a combination of parameters. Early research on robot-assisted laminectomy did not reflect good continuity, and the studies mainly focused on the type of robotic system. In recent years, more researchers have chosen the Nathoo A as the robot system type, and the focus of research has gradually shifted to laminectomy path planning and safety control strategies, such as state recognition. Although these studies have been able to perform laminectomy without penetrating the inner cortex of the lamina, most experiments have been performed in vitro, and clinical application is still untested.

Analysis of residents' food safety satisfaction from the perspective of income heterogeneity.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people, while food safety is the priority. Facing the increasingly serious food safety problems in China, how to improve food safety has become the responsibility of the whole society, and also the obligation of social development. Based on the 8000 residents' survey data, the ordinal logistic model was used to analyze the residents' satisfaction with food safety. The results show that residents are generally worried about food safety, and there is a strong demand for safe food. Gender, age, educational background, supervision, publicity, and complaint handling significantly affect residents' food safety satisfaction. In terms of income heterogeneity, low-income residents have the highest degree of satisfaction with food safety. With the improvement of income level, their degree of satisfaction is decreasing. The high-income class residents have a strong consciousness of rights safeguarding after purchasing unsafe food. For low-income residents, their awareness of rights protection is declining due to insufficient income. In the way of rights protection, most respondents choose to return or refund money after negotiation with the seller. The lack of punishment for unscrupulous sellers is one of the main reasons for the frequent occurrence of food safety problems in China.

In Vitro Dissolution and In Vivo Bioequivalence Evaluation of Two Metformin Extended-Release Tablets.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the bioequivalence between generic and branded metformin extended-release (ER) tablets in Chinese subjects. We tested bioequivalence in vitro and in vivo using a comparative dissolution study and a comparative pharmacokinetic trial. Safety assessments were conducted throughout the entire trial period. The dissolution profiles of the generic formulation expressed obvious extended-release properties, similar to those of the branded formulation (f2 > 60.0%). Consistent with the result of the in vitro study, no remarkable differences were found in terms of pharmacokinetic profiles between generic and branded formulations. The 90% confidence intervals of Ln AUC0-36 h , Ln AUC0-∞ , and Ln Cmax from generic formulation versus branded formulation were 91.4% to 105.0%, 91.3% to 104.7%, and 101.2% to 119.4%, respectively. During the entire trial period, 4 subjects experienced 11 adverse events. All these were mild and spontaneously resolved. The results obtained from the present study suggest that the generic and branded metformin ER tablets were bioequivalent in Chinese subjects.

Phyto-mediated synthesized multifunctional Zn/CuO NPs hybrid nanoparticles for enhanced activity for kidney cancer therapy: A complete physical and biological analysis.

Cancer in human society is one of the most problematic health issue responsible for outnumbered deaths worldwide. The consumption of developed NPs in cancer diagnosis is a rapidly emerging field of bio-medical nanotechnology. Recent years, greener synthesized metal oxide hybrid nanoparticles have attracted great attention in cytotoxicity to different cancer therapy. Herein, we report that Duchesnea indica plant mediated green synthesis plant extract mediated Zn doped CuO (Zn/CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by hydrothermal method and these physico-chemical properties were characterized by XRD, UV-DRS, FTIR, and SEM with EDAX analytical techniques. The XRD pattern findings indicated that the crystal structure of the base CuO matrix are not distorted by the substitution of Cu2+ (0.73 Å) ions by Zn2+ (0.65 Å) ions. The average crystallite size of undoped and Zn/CuO NPs samples are found to be in between the range of 23 to 36 nm. And we can see that the Zn/CuO NPs are large aggregates, containing small particles with sizes of 100-300 nm with spherical shaped morphology by SEM and TEM microscopic images. The normal cell viability and cancer cell inhibition results on A-498 cancer cells and also normal human epithelial cells exhibited that no significant changes in the cell viability with normal kidney epithelial cells and doped NPs given excellent cell inhibition treated on A-498 kidney tumor cells.
