Estimated Excess Deaths Due to COVID-19 Among the Urban Population of Mainland China, December 2022 to January 2023.

Mainland China experienced a major surge in SARS-CoV-2 infections in December 2022-January 2023, but its impact on mortality was unclear given the underreporting of coronavirus disease 2019 deaths. Using obituary data from the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), we estimated the excess death rate among senior CAE members by taking the difference between the observed rate of all-cause death in December 2022-January 2023 and the expected rate for the same months in 2017-2022, by age groups. We used this to extrapolate an estimate of the number of excess deaths in December 2022-January 2023 among urban dwellers in Mainland China. In December 2022-January 2023, we estimated excess death rates of 0.94 per 100 persons (95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.54, 3.16) in CAE members aged 80-84 years, 3.95 (95% CI = 0.50, 7.84) in 85-89 years, 10.35 (95% CI = 3.59, 17.71) in 90-94 years, and 16.88 (95% CI = 0.00, 34.62) in 95 years and older. Using our baseline assumptions, this extrapolated to 917,000 (95% CI = 425,000, 1.45 million) excess deaths among urban dwellers in Mainland China, much higher than the 81,000 in-hospital deaths officially reported from 9 December 2022 to 30 January 2023. As in many jurisdictions, we estimate that the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic had a much wider impact on mortality than what was officially documented in Mainland China.

Review and prospect of traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of hypertension

Hypertension, a primary cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, has become a major global public health problem and caused a heavy burden of health economics on the society. In "the 20 Most Important and Most Preventable Health Problems" released by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, hypertension was ranked the second. Due to the disease complexity, many hypertension patients need to take antihypertensive drugs for life. Although significant progress has been achieved in blood pressure lowering by western medicines, the problems including adverse reactions, poor compliance due to long-term medication, and ineffective mitigation in clinical symptoms related to hypertension remain to be addressed. In the last decade, the research on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment of hypertension has received much attention and achieved remarkable progress. The TCM treatment of hypertension is the most active area of research with integrated Chinese and western medicine in China. In addition to lowering blood pressure smoothly, TCM can alleviate clinical symptoms, reverse risk factors, improve the quality of life, and protect target organs from the damage caused by hypertension. This article systematically reviews the research progress of TCM in treating hypertension in the last decade from the following four aspects: consensus on guideline, clinical trial, experimental study, and systematic review/Meta-analysis. It summarized the evidence of TCM in reducing blood pressure and clarified the mechanism of TCM in reducing blood pressure, aiming to provide a reference for the TCM diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and the development of new drugs.

Further strengthening the construction of the public health system in the GBA will play an important reference role in the optimization and upgrade of China's public health system in the future. Based on the key consulting project of "research on the strategy of the modern public health system and capacity building in China" by Chinese Academy of Engineering, this paper deeply analyzes the current status and existing problems of public health system construction in GBA and suggests to improve and innovate the mechanisms of collaborative prevention and control of public health risks, resource coordination and joint research and result sharing, information sharing and exchange, personnel training and team building in order to comprehensively improve the capacity of public health system in GBA, and promote the construction of Healthy China.

Shuangqing Forum on carbon neutrality in construction and architecture.

The Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) held the 326th Shuangqing Forum on 22 February 2023. As the first forum of 2023 and one of the first in-person activities post-COVID, a topic of national and global significance was chosen: the challenges, for basic sciences, of reaching carbon neutrality in construction and architecture. National Science Review (NSR) attended this forum, as several presentations related to materials science and information science would appeal to the broad audience of NSR. In the plenary session, four members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), Profs. Jiaping Liu, Jianguo Wang, Weimin Zhuang and Hongyuan Mei, provided an overview of the challenges facing construction and architecture industries in the run-up to carbon neutrality.

The future of carbon-neutrality science and technology from an industrial transformation perspective: an interview with Hou-Liang Dai.

Since China announced that it will strive to achieve its carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, it has determined to take steps, which will establish low carbon development and a transition to carbon neutrality, as part of its long-term strategy for sustainable development and prosperity. This will be both a huge challenge and an opportunity. To achieve the dual-carbon goals, the whole society must undergo a broad and profound systemic transformation, involving changes in energy, technology, economy, industry and lifestyle, etc. Carbon-neutrality science and technology should be the foundation of the transformation. Now, dual-carbon goals have become the focus, not just of scientific and technological circles [1], but of all society. Some Chinese scientists have put forward the concept of green carbon science (GCS) to promote rational and systematic scientific thinking on carbon science and sustainable development [2,3]. Additionally, hundreds of scientists and senior experts have participated in formulating the action plan and guiding the outline of basic research on the dual-carbon strategy and pathways, helping the country to formulate a timetable, roadmap and implementation plan for achieving carbon-peaking and carbon-neutralization goals in industries [4,5]. Among them, Hou-Liang Dai, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), took part in a major consulting project of the CAE. He is famous for the development and application of highly efficient and environmentally friendly aromatic hydrocarbon technology and also a leader in high-quality development of the petrochemical industry [6]. He has been working in the petroleum and chemical industry for almost 40 years. Currently, he is the chairman of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). NSR spoke to Hou-Liang Dai on the future of carbon-neutrality science and technology.

Investigating the mentorship effect on the academic success of young scientists: An empirical study of the 985 project universities of China

• Scientists’ research performance significantly affects their academic titles. • Mentor's academic titles increase a student's chance of academic success. • Mentors with academician titles have the highest moderating effects. • This is manifested through the social influence of the mentors’ status. This study intends to uncover the mentorship effect by investigating the impact of mentors’ academic titles and research performance on the academic success of young scientists. Drawing on the data of chemical scientists from China's 985 project universities, we demonstrate that the probability of young scientists acquiring academic success increases if their mentors are qualified Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) or Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) academicians. However, this positive effect may be insignificant or negative for improved academic performance. Additionally, the role of the mentors’ research performance in moderating the relationship between the young scientists' research performance and the probability of acquiring an academic title is not significant and may even be negative. Remarkably, our empirical results suggest that mentors with a CAS or CAE academician title and an increase of the young scientists’ H-index by 20 have equal effects on the probability that young scientists win an Excellent title. This raises concerns about the mentorship effect in China. The results have solid practical implications that are clarified at the end of this research.

Insulin Treatment Increased Fatality in COVID-19 Patients with Diabetes

Background: COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread rapidly around the world, causing severe multi-organ injury and high mortality in a subset of patients. Individuals with diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and worse outcomes than the general population without diabetes. While glucose control was observed to be associated with attenuated mortality, limited evidence is available to determine whether glucose control by insulin was beneficial for COVID-19 patients with diabetes.Methods: This retrospective study focused on a cohort of 689 COVID-19 patients from Wuhan, China, diagnosed with diabetes, and assessed the clinical outcomes associated with insulin treatment. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and proportional Cox regression were employed to analyze the influence of insulin treatment on all cause death.Results: Among the 689 diabetic patients infected with COVID-19, 106 patients died (fatality was 15.4%). The fatality of COVID-19 patients with diabetes treated with insulin was significantly higher than those without insulin treatment (27.2% vs. 3.5%, p Conclusion: According to this retrospective study, insulin treatment increases the mortality in COVID-19 patients with diabetes. Thus, close observation especially glucose and vital signs monitoring are very important when COVID-19 patients with diabetes treated with insulin.Funding: This work was supported in part by projects from Ministry of Science and Technology of China (No. 2020YFC0844500), Nature Science Foundation of China (Nos. 31130031), Emergency project fund of Chinese Academy of Sciences (No. 2020YJFK0105) and Chinese Academy of Engineering and Ma Yun Foundation (No. 2020-CMKYGG-05).

New SI and precision measurements: an interview with Tianchu Li.

On 13–16 November 2018, the 26th General Conference of Weights and Measures (CGPM) was held in Paris. The conference adopted Resolution A on ‘Revision of the International System of Units (SI).’ According to Resolution A: four of the SI basic units, namely kilograms, amps, kelvin and mole, are defined by the Planck constant h, the basic charge constant e, the Boltzmann constant k and the Avogadro constant NA, respectively. This establishes the basic quantities and units in SI on a series of constants. The new SI was officially launched on 20 May 2019. This is the most significant change and a milestone in the history of metrology since the Metre Convention was signed in 20 May 1875. Professor Tianchu Li, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has been working on time and frequency standards for 37 years. In this interview, Prof. Li reviews the quantization and constant evolutions of the second and meter, and introduces the redefinitions of ampere, kelvin, kilogram and mole, and their significance for precision measurements.

Origin and Operation of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: An Interaction between Expertise and Politics

ABSTRACTThe Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) is one of the most important engineering institutions for Chinese engineers. The formal establishment of CAE, from its original conception in 1978 to its final birth in 1994, took almost 20 years. At present it has been in existence for two decades. Both the former decades-long emergence and the latter decades-long operation of CAE can be interpreted in terms of an interaction between expertise and politics. To understand the CAE’s origins and operation, this paper will first examine how ‘engineering’ and ‘engineer’ have slightly different meanings in the historical and cultural context of China than in the West. Then it will focus on the decades-long creation of the CAE. In the 1970s, the proposal for a Chinese engineering academy was initiated by scientist and engineer members of the Chinese Academy of Science, as a result of both domestic and international influences. Through the 1980s and 90s, a few politicians jointly with those scientists and engineers made a crucial contribution to the founding of the CAE. Finally, the article offers an account of CAE’s structure and operation during the first twenty years of its existence.

The Flow Network of Chinese Scientists and Its Driving Mechanisms Based on the Spatial Development Path of CAS and CAE Academicians

Scientists are a core element of regional technological innovation and economic growth. Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) are outstanding representatives of Chinese scientists. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the characteristics of Chinese scientists’ space migration, depict the structural topology of their flow network and to analyze the driving mechanisms behind the characteristics of their space migration. We mainly used spatial statistics, complex network analysis, and a modified location quotient. Our main conclusions are as follows: (1) The spatial distribution of Chinese scientists at different development stages tends to converge. The Chinese scientists’ birthplaces are highly concentrated in the eastern coastal areas and the Yangtze River basin. Education locations are highly consistent, with clusters of global high-level educational resources at home and abroad, and their workplaces are mainly distributed in economically developed cities. (2) In terms of network characteristics, the spatial heterogeneity of the growth of Chinese scientists is obvious. Only a few cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing, have higher degrees of node centrality, strength centrality, and betweenness centrality, so their networks’ hierarchical structures are pyramid-shaped and their core-periphery structures are prominent. By identifying the roles of the cities as network nodes, we found that only Beijing plays accomplished and stable roles, whereas other cities play a single role. (3) Regarding driving mechanisms, Chinese scientists’ spatial migration has been influenced by national policy, regional economic level, education level, and individual traits at national, regional, and personal scales. Therefore, the combined effects of various forces have driven the evolution of the flow network of Chinese scientists.

Toward Intelligent Machine Tool

Abstract With the development of modern information technology—and particularly of the new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology—new opportunities are available for the development of the intelligent machine tool (IMT). Based on the three classical paradigms of intelligent manufacturing as defined by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the concept, characteristics, and systemic structure of the IMT are presented in this paper. Three stages of machine tool evolution—from the manually operated machine tool (MOMT) to the IMT—are discussed, including the numerical control machine tool (NCMT), the smart machine tool (SMT), and the IMT. Furthermore, the four intelligent control principles of the IMT—namely, autonomous sensing and connection, autonomous learning and modeling, autonomous optimization and decision-making, and autonomous control and execution—are presented in detail. This paper then points out that the essential characteristic of the IMT is to acquire and accumulate knowledge through learning, and presents original key enabling technologies, including the instruction-domain-based analytical approach, theoretical and big-data-based hybrid modeling technology, and the double-code control method. Based on this research, an intelligent numerical control (INC) system and industrial prototypes of IMTs are developed. Three intelligent practices are conducted, demonstrating that the integration of the new generation of AI technology with advanced manufacturing technology is a feasible and convenient way to advance machine tools toward the IMT.

Disaster Risk Reduction Knowledge Service: A Paradigm Shift from Disaster Data Towards Knowledge Services

Earthquakes have caused tremendous damage in China and around the world; the Wenchuan earthquake that occurred in China 10 years ago is among the deadliest earthquakes in history. The importance of earthquake monitoring and seismic data analysis is now recognized in China. However, the effective dissemination of earthquake-related disaster risk reduction (DRR) knowledge to decision-makers and the public has not been adequately addressed. Under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the International Knowledge Centre for Engineering Science and Technology (managed by the Chinese Academy of Engineering) launched the Disaster Risk Reduction Knowledge Service in 2016. This service, based on the development of disaster metadata standards, was constructed to share disaster information and provide thematic knowledge services; it facilitates the integration and sharing of disaster data, disaster maps, expert opinions, institutional knowledge, research literature, and videos. A series of earthquake DRR knowledge services applications have been implemented using this knowledge service platform, including (1) a global earthquake daily distribution map service, (2) a spatiotemporal map of historical earthquakes in the One Belt One Road region, (3) a Wenchuan earthquake disaster relief knowledge service, and (4) a thematic knowledge service for disaster relief work and contingency planning during the Jiuzhaigou earthquake. In the long term, this system will support the conversion of disaster data into DRR knowledge and provide services for international organizations, government institutions, research and educational institutions, enterprises, and the general public.

The results showed the following:(1) renewable resources are insufficiently utilized, and the maximum proportion of renewable resources in the total emergy utilization was only 7.95%; (2) non-renewable resources are consumed too extensively, and the minimum proportion of non-renewable resources in total emergy utilization was 56.95%; (3) the traditional agricultural structure in the Taihu Lake city cluster, except the city of Suzhou, must be adjusted urgently because that the minimum proportion of meat and aquatic products in renewable resource products has reached 63.08%; (4) we should accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries as a minimum of 88.02% are currently producing products from non-renewable resources, primarily cement and steel; (5) we must accelerate the opening up of trade to the outside world, because the maximum proportion of input emergy is only 36.27% and merchandise import and export exhibits a favorable trade balance; (6) the level of waste emission and utilization needs to be improved, because the current maximum ratio of waste emergy to renewable emergy is only 12.8%, and the minimum ratio of waste emergy to total emergy utilization is only 0.19%; (7) within the Taihu Lake city cluster, the city of Huzhou has greater potential for sustainable development, because its sustainable index (ESI) and emergy sustainable development index (EISD) are 1.59 and 2.99, respectively; (8) the city of Suzhou exhibits a low level of health of the cities in the Taihu Lake city cluster, with a health emergy index (EUEHI) and an improved health emergy index (EUEHI') of 8.22 and 1.65, respectively. Based on the above results, this paper proposes some countermeasures to advance the sustainable development of the ecological-economic system in the Taihu Lake city cluster. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

Tackling climate change and promoting the energy revolution

Following the Paris Agreement, green and low-carbon development has entered into a new stage. China’s international responsibility to combat climate change is consistent with the inherent sustainable development needs of the country. In this paper, the reasonability of China’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) is examined and the fact that lowcarbon development can lead to modernization is demonstrated based on data analysis of energy economics from developed countries. Considering the fact that such an energy revolution forms the basis for China’s low-carbon transition, a roadmap of the China’s energy utilization is presented. Based on research results from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the three historical stages of China’s energy structure reform are analyzed. Promoting a low-carbon transition through an energy revolution is a long-term and arduous process that requires a genuine transformation of development outlook and patterns. By empirically analyzing situations at home and abroad, a conclusion is made that economic development and a lowcarbon transition can be achieved simultaneously; specifically, low-carbon development fosters new points of economic growth and gives rise to different development paths.
