Objective: To learn the prevalence rate and distribution of bronchial asthma of Li nationality in Hainan by epidemiological survey so as to provide rationales for preventing and treating asthma.
Methods: A total of 13 050 subjects of Li nationality in Hainan were investigated by random sampling of stratified cluster method with an unequal ratio according to the medical records, physical signs and symptoms and pulmonary function tests. Then the prevalence was analyzed according to different population characteristics.
Results: The prevalence rate of asthma was 3.38% for Li nationality in Hainan. And it increased with an advancing age. It was much higher in agricultural population (4.08%) than that in cultivation and commercial populations (2.52% and 1.97%, P < 0.01). The asthma prevalence rate was in the highest at 4.62% in rubber workers. And it was much higher in rural areas than that in urban areas (3.85% vs 2.63%, P < 0.01).
Conclusions: The epidemiological distribution of asthma of Li nationality in Hainan has been determined. And asthma remains a severe problem locally. The efforts of preventing and treating asthma and its education should be strengthened.

Inhibition of cuproptosis contributes to the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expression of RNA-binding motif protein 15 (RBM15) is upregulated in NSCLC. Nonetheless, its relationship with cuproptosis remains unclear.

Molecules that exhibit excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) have demonstrated great promise in fluorescent probes. The electronic effect of substituents has an important influence on the ESIPT process. In this study, we investigated the effects of substituents on the ESIPT mechanism and the photophysical behavior of single-benzene fluorophore (SBF) derivatives with computational chemistry methods.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a label-free technique that enables the visualization of the spatial distribution of thousands of ions within biosamples. Data denoising is the computational strategy aimed at enhancing the MSI data quality, providing an effective alternative to experimental methods. However, due to the complex noise pattern inherent in MSI data and the difficulty in obtaining ground truth from noise-free data, achieving reliable denoised images remains challenging.

Catharanthus roseus contains nearly 200 bioactive monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) that are effective in treating cancer and other diseases. Ethylene plays a significant role in enhancing MIA biosynthesis, and we have found that it greatly induces the accumulation of anhydrovinblastine. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this process are not yet fully understood.
