Article Abstract
Background: There are scanty population-based studies investigating the incidence and prevalence rates of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Taiwan.
Aims: This study aimed to estimate the nationwide prevalence and incidence of IBD and identify its noticeable trends in Taiwan between 2016 and 2020.
Methods: A retrospective study by analyzing the data from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan.
Results: A total of 2595 patients with catastrophic IBD illness were registered from 2016 to 2020 in Taiwan (CD, 880; UC, 1715). The male-to-female ratio in the study sample was 1.83:1 for CD and 1.69:1 for UC. The median age of those registered with CD and UC was 37 and 47 years, respectively. The incidence rate of CD was 0.65 per 100,000 persons in 2016 and it was increased to 0.81 per 100,000 persons in 2020. The incidence rate of UC was 1.16 per 100,000 persons in 2016 and it was increased to 1.53 in 2020. Overall, the incidence of IBD was increase from 1.81 per 100,000 persons to 2.34 per 100,000 persons between 2016 and 2020. Overall, the prevalence rates of IBD was increase from 14.95 per 100,000 persons to 20.02 per 100,000 persons between 2016 and 2020.
Conclusion: The epidemiological stages of IBD in Taiwan was considered in the acceleration in incidence stage, during which incidence rises and prevalence is relatively low. Understanding these geographical differences is important for the rising global burden of IBD.

Surface passivation of materials based on nanosized zero-valent iron (nZVI) limits the reductive reactivities of such materials at near-neutral pH. To overcome this, a reactivation strategy was developed involving adding aqueous Fe(II) to a silica-coated nZVI (nZVI@SiO) system, which markedly increased the nitrobenzene reduction efficiency. The Fe(0) core in nZVI@SiO acted as the main reductant, and Fe(II) sorbed to the SiO coating acted as a reactivating agent that facilitated electron conduction mainly through the 'chemi-conductor' mechanism.

Organic nucleophile-assisted natural seawater electrolysis has emerged as a promising strategy for green hydrogen production by significantly reducing energy consumption. Among Ni-based electrocatalysts, NiMoO has drawn attention for its activity in both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR). However, its practical application is hindered by severe surface passivation, particularly at industrial current densities (e.

Alpine ecosystems are critical for water regulation but highly sensitive to climate change. In the Three-River Source Region (TRSR) of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, changes in temperature, precipitation, and large-scale ecological restoration have significantly altered vegetation phenology-including the start (SOS), end (EOS), and length (LOS) of the growing season, as well as vegetation growth status (GS). These shifts affect hydrological processes such as evapotranspiration, soil moisture, snowmelt, and runoff.

Municipal sludge, characterized by its high-water-content and viscous texture, poses significant environmental challenges due to inefficient dewatering and poor flowability. The freeze-thaw (F/T) method is an effective and environmentally friendly pretreatment approach. It is crucial to apply rheological analysis to examine the influence of refrigeration temperature on dewatering effects and to investigate the underlying mechanisms.

Background: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is characterized by severe metabolic disturbances; however, the specific metabolomic features and their predictive value on 90-day prognosis remain unclear.
Aim: To identify serum metabolomic changes in patients with ACLF with different prognoses to support clinical prediction of outcomes and treatment decisions.
Methods: This non-interventional, observational case-control study enrolled 58 patients with ACLF.
