Utilization of crop straw resources in Anhui Province, Eastern China. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 1302-1310 Returning straw to fields is one of the most effective ways of maintaining and improving soil fertility. However, straw burning is a recurring phenomenon in China. To better understand the current situation facing the utilization of straw resourc- es in Anhui Province, a total of 731 typical fields and farmers were surveyed on a provincial scale in 2011 along a national highway, provincial highway and county road. Moreover, a total of 344 fields and farmers were surveyed on a county scale in three typical counties, i.e., Mengcheng County, Dingyuan County and Xuanzhou District. The average rates of straw return- ing were generally low in Anhui Province, with 30.2% for single-middle-season rice, 16.1% for early rice, 14.3% for wheat, 2.9% for rape, 1.8% for late rice and 1.8% for maize, respectively. The average return rate of wheat in the three typical counties was 13.2%, lower than the rates of the entire province; however, the return rates of other crops in the counties were all higher than those of the entire province.

  • Association Between Tirofiban Monotherapy and Efficacy And
    Tao et al. BMC Neurology (2021) 21:237 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12883-021-02268-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Association between tirofiban monotherapy and efficacy and safety in acute ischemic stroke Chunrong Tao1†, Yuyou Zhu1†, Chao Zhang1, Jianlong Song1, Tianlong Liu1, Xiaodong Yuan1, Wenwu Luo2, Changchun Chen3, Dezhi Liu4, Yuanyuan Zhu5, Jie Liu5* and Wei Hu1* Abstract Background: Studies have suggested that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists such as tirofiban are beneficial for patients with acute coronary syndromes. However, it is still uncertain about the efficacy and safety of tirofiban in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: In this prospective non-randomized study, 255 AIS patients were recruited from 4 comprehensive stroke centers in China between January, 2017 and May, 2018. Among them,169 patients were treated with aspirin plus clopidogrel and 86 patients were treated with tirofiban. The primary functional outcome was the distribution of the 90 days’ modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The safety outcomes included the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) at discharge and mortality at 3 months. Results: In the propensity score matched cohort, tirofiban alone was noninferior to the dual antiplatelet with regard to the primary outcome (adjusted common odds ratio, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.46 to 2.04; P = 0.93). Mortality at 90 days was 10% in the dual antiplatelet group and 8% in the tirofiban group (adjusted odds ratio 0.75; 95% CI 0.08 to 7.40, p = 0.81). There was no difference of the ICH rate between two groups (adjusted odds ratio 0.44; 95% CI 0.13 to 1.48, p = 0.18).

This estimate is derived from quasi-experimental variation in PM10 generated by China’s Huai River Policy, which provides free or heavily subsidized coal for indoor heating during the winter to cities north of the Huai River but not to the south. The findings are derived from a regression discontinuity design based on distance from the Huai River, and are robust to using parametric and non-parametric estimation methods, different kernel types and bandwidth sizes, and adjustment for a rich set of demographic and behavioral covariates. Furthermore, the shorter lifespans are almost entirely due to elevated rates of cardiorespiratory mortality, suggesting that PM10 is the causal factor. The estimates imply that bringing all of China into compliance with its Class I standards for PM10 would save 3.7 billion life years. * Ebenstein: Department of Environmental Economics and Management, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, [email protected].
