Researchers from Harbin Engineering University have conducted a study on the pragmatic stance in drug negotiation discourse concerning the national medical insurance catalogue in China. The study aims to deepen the understanding of negotiation discourse in the context of medical insurance negotiations and analyzes the conveyance of information, affection, and attitude. The research is of practical significance and provides a multi-perspective and multi-context analysis. For more information, the full article can be accessed through the Athens Journal of Health and Medical Sciences. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Guilin Medical University have published a study on the measurement of China's public health level. The study aims to develop a comprehensive index system to evaluate public health status and provide recommendations for improvement. The researchers utilized data from 2011 to 2020 and developed a multi-level public health index system, including the Public Health Service Index, Public Health Resource Index, and Population Health Level Index. The study found that public health in China has been improving, and there is a positive spatial spillover effect on surrounding areas. The constructed index system can be widely utilized in other areas of public health research. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study from Nanjing Audit University in China explores the use of blockchain technology and advanced encryption methods to protect the privacy of electronic medical records (EMRs). The study addresses concerns about the potential misuse of medical data by cloud service providers (CSP) and unauthorized access by doctors. The proposed solution, called blockchain-based multi-keyword searchable encryption (BMSE), integrates blockchain technology, advanced encryption standard (AES), and attribute-based encryption (ABE) to enhance privacy and search efficiency. The research concludes that BMSE improves search efficiency and verifies its safety through safety analysis. [Extracted from the article]

A report from Peking University Third Hospital discusses the current state and development needs of emergency medicine (EM) in China. The research conducted an anonymous electronic survey, which included 722 hospitals. The findings revealed that EM in China has established a mature disciplinary system and refined sub-specialties. However, there is a need to improve teaching and research capacities, including the development of master's and doctoral programs in EM. The research suggests that more training should be provided to promote the rapid growth of EM in China. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co. Ltd. explores the effectiveness of a combined active and passive safety system in protecting pedestrians from head injuries in vehicle collisions. The study constructs a "vehicle-pedestrian" interaction system and analyzes the impact of the exterior airbag and braking control systems on pedestrian head injury. The results show that the exterior airbag can effectively protect the pedestrian's head and reduce the head injury criterion (HIC). The study proposes a hierarchical design strategy and a rapid prediction method for HIC, providing a theoretical basis for parameter design and selection. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University in China focused on the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid (BP), an autoimmune disease. The study found that T helper cells, specifically Th2 and Th17 cells, play a significant role in the pathogenesis of BP. Cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-17, and IL-23 were found to be involved in various aspects of the disease, including eosinophil recruitment, antibody production, pruritus, blister formation, and inflammation. The researchers concluded that a better understanding of these cytokines could lead to potential therapeutic targets for BP. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers at Peking University conducted a study on the effects of ability tracking, a practice of grouping students based on their test scores, on students' academic and non-academic outcomes in rural junior high schools in China. The study found that ability tracking had no statistically significant effect on students' academic or non-academic outcomes overall. However, it did help reduce math anxiety among high-ability students. The study also found that ability tracking was associated with lower math scores for low-ability boarding students compared to non-boarding students in comparison schools. The research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]
