Abstract

To analyze the status and trend of injury deaths in Chinese people, and provide basic evidence for injury interventions. Data came from 2004-2005 the 3rd national retrospective sampling survey of death cause and covered 31 province-level regions and 160 surveillance spots in the interior of China, Total 142 660 482 person years were investigated. To describe the status of injury deaths, the crude death rate, years of potential life lost (YPLL), working years of potential life lost (WYPLL) and the standardized death rate were calculated. The population used for standardization was from census in 2000 and each five-year was counted as an age group; To analyze the trend of injury deaths, the constitution of the death causes were calculated based on the data of 1991-2000 national disease surveillance system which covered more than 10 000 000 population and 145 surveillance spots. The total number of residents in survey districts died of injury between 2004 and 2005 was 87 753 (male 59 664, female 28 089, urban 23 308, rural 64 445); the crude death rate of injury in China 2004-2005 was 61.51/100 000 and accounting for 10.10% of all deaths; the standardized death rate was 58.45/100 000, ranking the fourth among the main cause of dea...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
