China, the Awakened Giant

The history of Chinese medicine is as long and legendary as that of the country itself. Its origins date back 3000 years [1]. Scientific knowledge and medical practice has gone through numerous stages. Between the 8th and 3rd centuries BC, China went through a period of great cultural and intellectual development called the “Hundred Schools of Thought” [2]. An attempt was made to seek the explanation of the phenomena of the universe in nature itself, leaving aside explanations based on magic and myths [2]. The new ideas discussed and developed during this period have profoundly influenced philosophical views and lifestyles up to the present day in East Asian countries. A fundamental milestone was the publication of “Huangdi Neijing“. Also known as the “Inner Canon of Huangdi“ or “Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor“, it is the earliest surviving work on Chinese medicine[3]. Its author, Emperor Huangdi, is not only considered the initiator of Chinese Traditional Medicine but also the father of Chinese civilization. Caring for the health of the population has been a priority in this country throughout the centuries. As a history lover, it is difficult for me to find another example of a nation embarking on an unequal war to defend its public health. This happened when the Western powers, led by the British Empire, sought to create opium addiction among the Chinese population in order to balance their trade balance by trafficking drugs [4]. These infamous conflicts went down in history as the “Opium Wars” and cost the lives of thousands of Chinese citizens. In the last decades, China’s healthcare system has made great achievements in the management of medical services and public health for the Chinese people[5]. Average life expectancy at birth was 35 years before the founding of new China, and it reached 77.0 years in 2018 [6]. The projected life expectancy at birth in mainland China in 2035 is 81,3 years [7]. On April 6, 2009, China presented an action plan to undertake a radical and ambitious reform of the health system [8]. The goal is to achieve universal health coverage. The history of shock waves in this country is a reflection of the described dynamism and historical background. The beginnings of its use in China can be traced back to the 1980s in the urological field. Prof. Xing Gengyan was the pioneer of indications in musculoskeletal pathology starting in 1993. Since that moment he has been a promoter not only of research and clinical applications, but also of medical education. In 2019, he organized in Beijing the largest international shock wave congress in history. It is a great honor that he has contributed to this issue by writing about the development of this therapeutic practice in China. In parallel with healthcare and academic development, the Chinese industry has risen to the occasion by providing high-quality devices. The content of this volume reflects not only the ability of our Chinese colleagues but also their openness to the world and their generosity in sharing information. Numerous universities and hospitals from different regions throughout China have collaborated selflessly. This could not have been accomplished without the monumental task of Dr. Sun Wei, our Guest Editor. Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with the phrase “China is a sleeping giant, when she wakes she will shake the world“. Two hundred years later the giant is awake and brimming with energy.

Combination of industry and finance, innovation input and innovation output-An empirical research based on Chinese listed companies

Under the premise of China's gradual transformation from rapid development to high-quality development, the industry-finance combination formed by financial institutions holding entity companies’ shares is of great significance to promoting the technological innovation of entity companies and industrial technology upgrading. By manually collecting the data of financial institutions holding entity companies’ shares, this paper selected China's A-shares non-financial listed companies from 2013 to 2020 to conduct an empirical test on how the combination of industry and finance affects the technological innovation of entity companies. The test results found that financial institutions holding entity companies’ shares significantly promoted the technological innovation output of entity companies, and the innovation input had an intimidating effect on both. Financial institutions holding entity companies’ shares could advance the innovation output of companies by promoting the companies’ innovation input. And the results also verified the moderating effect of executive compensation. Moreover, it integrated China's special political system to examine the influence of property rights nature on both and verified the heterogeneous influence of executive background. This paper provides a premise for the sustainable development of China's industry and enriches the research content of the combination of industry and finance.

SOEs reform and capital efficiency in China: A structural analysis

This paper investigates the effect of state-owned enterprises reform, a policy phrased as “grasping the large, letting the small go”, on firms’ capital efficiency in Chinese industries from 1998–2007. First, we present several stylized facts on investment rates in state and private firms. Second, a dynamic programming problem is proposed and key structural parameters are recovered through simulated moment matching method, so the estimated dynamic model is able to replicate the stylized facts that are directly observable from the firm-level data. Our quantitative analysis shows that the conversion of state firms into private ones reduces capital adjustment costs. Particularly, state firms’ quadratic adjustment cost declines significantly almost by half, and the fixed cost decreases slightly. These findings are robust in various specifications. Hence, the reform in state firms leads to increased capital efficiency. Last, the counterfactual analysis suggests that state and private firm’s output would increase about 9.60% and 1.87% if the capital adjustment costs in state firms were lowered to the same levels in private firms.

North-south regional differential decomposition and spatiotemporal dynamic evolution of China's industrial green total factor productivity.

"Green development" has become the way for countries around the world to strengthen industries, and it is an important part of China's high-quality economic development. The key for China to strike a balance between economic growth and environmental management is to optimize green total factor productivity (GTFP). This paper measures the GTFP of industry in 30 provinces of China from 2003 to 2019, based on the perspective of energy and carbon emission constraints. It empirically examines the spatial disequilibrium and dynamic evolution of industrial GTFP in China using Dagum Gini coefficients, Kernel density estimation, and Markov chain analysis. The study finds that, (1) although China's industrial GTFP is not high, it shows an increasing trend. The industrial GTFP in the southern region is higher than that in the northern region. (2) Technical efficiency is the shortcoming of China's industrial GTFP improvement. Technological progress is the main driving force of China's industrial GTFP improvement. (3) The relative and absolute differences in China'' industrial GTFP, technical efficiency, and technological progress have all shown a widening trend. Regional differences between the southern and northern regions are the main source of relative differences in industrial GTFP, technical efficiency, and technological progress. (4) China's industrial GTFP shows a clear "club convergence" phenomenon and the "Matthew effect." However, after the introduction of the spatial factor, the "club convergence" phenomenon and the "Matthew effect" have weakened. The driving effect of industrial GTFP on neighboring provinces is stronger in the south than in the north. This paper enriches the analysis of industrial GTFP and provides an important basis for the coordinated regional development of Chinese industry.

Industrial museums with Chinese characteristics: theories and practices

ABSTRACT Industrial museums are experiencing fast development in China, where they play important roles in industrial heritage preservation, the promotion of industrial culture, and nation-building. These uses, together with the particularities of the Chinese industrialisation process, have shaped new models in industrial museography. In this paper, we describe how some Western ideas regarding industrial museums and heritage have been adapted in China, and how the development of such ideas in theory and practice has resulted in different types of museums. In doing so, we use bibliometry, statistics, and quantitative and qualitative analyses to study the factors behind the growth of industrial museums in China, the scientific literature on the topic produced in the country, and basic data about 249 museums. As a result, we delimitate the specificities of the industrial museums with Chinese characteristics, which can enrich the international discussion on the subject with approaches less explored in the West.

Research on the Heterogeneity of Green Biased Technology Progress in Chinese Industries: Decomposition Index Analysis Based on the Slacks-based measure integrating

<p><big>Green-biased technological progress takes into account the influence of energy input and pollution emissions, which is of great significance to China's green development. This paper decomposes technological progress into two categories: green input-biased technological progress (IBTC) and green output-biased technological progress (OBTC), using the Slacks-based measure integrating (SBM) model. The factor bias in technological progress is determined based on data from 34 industries in China from 2000 to 2015. The results show that green-biased technological progress exists significantly in the industry, and most of it promotes the growth of green total factor productivity. IBTC first tends to consume energy to pursue capital between capital input and energy input, while it tends to save energy after the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. Between labor input and energy input, it is biased towards saving labor and consuming resources. OBTC is biased towards promoting industrial growth and curbing pollution emissions. Medium and light-polluting industries are biased toward promoting industrial growth and curbing pollution emissions, while heavy-polluting industries are biased towards emitting more pollution.</big></p>

A novel process of reverse flotation-hydrogen reduction for preparation of high-purity iron powder with superior magnetite concentrate

A novel process of reverse flotation-hydrogen reduction for preparation of high-purity iron powder with superior magnetite concentrate was developed. The ultra-pure magnetite concentrate with 72.12 % Fe and 0.19 % SiO2 was obtained by reverse flotation, and the Fe recovery reached 82.3 %. Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses revealed that the reduction ability of H2 was stronger than that of CO at T > 810 °C, and hydrogen reduction was easier to occur than coal-based reduction. The reduction behavior of ultra-pure magnetite concentrate showed that compared with traditional Höganäs process reduction, iron powder with higher purity could be obtain at lower temperature by hydrogen reduction. The whiskers and nodular irons were formed on the surface of magnetite particle during coal-based reduction and hydrogen reduction, respectively. The interparticle bonding caused by nodular irons was weaker than that by whiskers, which was favorable to H2 diffusion. Under the optimal conditions, the high-purity iron powder was obtained by hydrogen reduction, whose Fe grade, MFe content and metallization rate achieved 99.16 %, 97.86 % and 98.69 %, respectively. This iron powder can meet the FHY200 grade in the Chinese industry standard of reduced iron powder for powder metallurgy (YB/T 5308-2011), and it also can be used as iron source to prepare lithium iron phosphate with high purity and good electrochemical performance by coprecipitation method.

Toxicity Testing Organisms for Marine Ecotoxicological Research in China

Since the late 1970s, marine ecotoxicology began to sprout and develop in China. Based on the principles of dose-response relationships, some marine organisms are used in toxicity tests to evaluate the impact of marine pollutants on marine organisms and marine ecosystems. At the early stage, marine ecotoxicological research mainly focused on the bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and biodegradation of traditional pollutants such as heavy metals, radioactive elements, organotin, petroleum hydrocarbons, and pesticides, as well as their toxic effects on survival, growth, and other physiological indicators. With the development of Chinese industry, marine pollution has become increasingly serious. In addition to the traditional marine pollutants, toxicological research has been conducted on emerging pollutants with potential risks to marine ecosystems, such as POPs, emerging organic pollutants, nanomaterials, and microplastics. Moreover, the species of marine organisms used in toxicity testing have become more diverse. The selection of testing organisms is essential for evaluating toxicity correctly. The toxicity tests should be conducted on a variety of organisms from different trophic levels to ensure the comprehensive understanding of the impact of pollutants on marine ecosystems. The major types of marine organisms used in the toxicity testing include marine alga, protozoa, rotifera, annelida, mollusc, echinoderma, arthropoda, cephalopoda, and marine fish, which have been used in the toxicological studies of various marine pollutants. The outcome results can serve as the scientific basis for the ecological risk assessment of marine pollutants and the establishment of seawater quality criteria. It should be noted that the sensitivity of different testing organisms to different types of pollutants is quite diverse. Therefore, in addition to conducting a battery of tests on a variety of species which play important roles in marine ecosystems, elucidating the toxic mechanisms in different species is also important for marine ecotoxicological studies. The application of the above-mentioned organisms in marine ecotoxicology research in recent years is briefly reviewed here. Particularly, the six commonly used marine model species (Skeletonema costatum, Euplotes vannus, oysters, sea urchins, Tigriopus japonicus, and Oryzias melastigma) used in toxicity testing are introduced in detail.

DH-Mammo PET: a dual-head positron emission mammography system for breast imaging

Objective. To develop a simultaneous positron emission tomography-Optical (OPET) breast imaging dual-head PET subsystem, called DH-Mammo PET, for accurate, early diagnosis and efficacy assessment of breast cancer with high resolution and sensitivity. Approach. We developed a breast-dedicated PET based on LYSO crystal, silicon photomultiplier array and multi-voltage threshold sampling technique. It consists of two detector heads, each with a detection area of 216 mm × 145.5 mm. The distance between the detector heads is fixed at 120 mm. In order to extract coincidences and correct data, GPU-based software coincidence processing, random, scatter, normalization, gap-filling and attenuation corrections were applied in turn. The images were reconstructed using maximum likelihood expectation maximization with depth of interaction (DOI) modeling. The performance of DH-Mammo PET was evaluated referring to NEMA NU 4–2008, NU 2–2007 and Chinese industry recommended standard YY/T 1835–2022. Besides, several clinical patient images of DH-Mammo PET were compared with those of a whole-body PET/CT. Main results. The energy resolution was 14.5%, and time resolution was < 1.31 ns. Indicated by the 22Na point source imaging, its spatial resolution was 2.60 mm (5.40 mm), 1.00 mm (1.04 mm), and 0.96 mm (0.93 mm) in the X, Y and Z directions, respectively, using the system response matrix with (without) DOI modeling. Indicated by the Derenzo phantom imaging, the spatial resolution was ∼3.0 mm, <1.2 mm, and <1.2 mm in the X, Y and Z directions. The system sensitivity was 6.87%, 4.89% and 3.37% with an energy window of 100–800, 250–750 and 350–650 keV, respectively. The scatter fraction was 26.43%, and the peak NECR was 162.6 kcps at 24.1 MBq for the modified rat-like phantom. As for the recovery coefficients, they ranged from 0.15 to 1.04 for rods between 1 and 5 mm obtained with a NEMA image quality phantom. The spill-over ratio for the air-filled and water-filled chamber was 0.05 and 0.11, respectively. DH-Mammo PET can provide more image details in clinical experiments and fulfil a fast scan with 60–120 s acquisition time. Significance. Good spatial resolution and high sensitivity of DH-Mammo PET would enable fast and accurate PET imaging of the breast. Besides, combining the DH-Mammo PET with the diffuse optical tomography would make full use of tumor metabolic imaging and tissue endogenous optical imaging, which would improve the accuracy of early clinical diagnosis of small lesions of breast cancers.
