Related health burden with the improvement of air quality across China.
Substantial progress in air pollution control has brought considerable health benefits in China, but little is known about the spatio-temporal trends of economic burden from air pollution. This study aimed to explore their spatio-temporal features of disease burden from air pollution in China to provide policy recommendations for efficiently reducing the air pollution and related disease burden in an era of a growing economy. ⋯ The disease burden from O3 is lower than that of PM2.5, the O3-contribution has a significantly increasing trend with the growth of economy and O3 concentration.

Progress and perspective of organoid technology in breast cancer research.
Breast cancer, a malignant tumor with a high incidence in women, lacks in vitro research models that can represent the biological functions of breast tumors in vivo. As a new biological tool, the organoid model has unique advantages over traditional methods, such as cell culture and patient-derived xenografts. ⋯ The emergence of breast cancer organoids has provided new tools and research directions in precision medicine, personality therapy, and drug research. In this review, we summarized the merits and demerits of organoids compared to traditional biological models, explored the latest developments in the combination of new technologies and organoid models, and discussed the construction methods and application prospects of different breast organoid models.
