Objective:
To investigate the risk factors of road traffic injuries caused by electric bicycles, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control of road traffic injuries.
Methods:
A case-control study was performed (cases to controls ratio of 1∶2). The riders of electric bicycles with road-traffic injuries in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality during the period between June 2020 and May 2021 were included in the case group, and age-, gender- and occupation-matched riders of electric bicycles without road-traffic injuries in the same study area during the same study period served as controls. Participants' demographic data, living habits, health status, awareness of safe riding and riding behaviors were collected using questionnaire surveys, and the risk factors of road-traffic injuries caused by electric bicycles were identified using a multivariable conditional logistic regression model.
Results:
There were 167 participants in the case group, including 122 men (73.05%) and with an age of 38 (21) years, and 334 participants in the control group, including 244 men (73.05%) and with an age of 32 (18) years. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis identified sleep duration of less than 8 h (OR=1.760, 95%CI: 1.111-2.786), occasional/frequent anxiety (OR=5.140, 95%CI: 1.067-24.750), unawareness of riding speed limit of 25 km/h (OR=2.352, 95%CI: 1.460-3.788), having been warned or punished for violating traffic rules (OR=2.246, 95%CI: 1.243-4.060), running a red light (OR=1.725, 95%CI: 1.043-2.852), riding speed of ≥ 30 km/h (sometimes, OR=2.409, 95%CI: 1.475-3.933; often, OR=4.711, 95%CI: 2.153-10.309) as risk factors of electric bicycle road-traffic injuries.
Conclusions
Electric bicycle road-traffic injuries is associated with sleep duration, anxiety, awareness of traffic rules, and unsafe riding behaviors. Traffic safety education and law enforcement is required to be reinforced among riders of electric bicycles.

Racemic (±)-F18 (10-chloromethyl-11-demethyl-12-oxo-calanolide A), an analog of nature product (+)-calanolide A, is a new anti-HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcript inhibitor (NNRTI). A successful enantioseparation of (±)-F18 offering (R)-F18 and (S)-F18 was achieved by a chiral stationary phase prepared HPLC. Their absolute configurations were determined by measurement of their electronic circular dichroisms combined with modem quantum-chemical calculations. Further investigation revealed that (R)-F18 and (S)-F18 shared a similar anti-HIV activities, however, (R)-F18 was more potent than (S)-F18 against wild-type virus, K101E mutation and P225H mutation pseudoviruses.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of thunder-fire moxibustion for hypomenorrhea after induced abortion. Methods: A total of 74 patients with hypomenorrhea after induced abortion were randomized into two groups, with 37 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional hormone sequential therapy, and the observation group was treated with thunder-fire moxibustion. The course of treatment was 3 menstrual cycles. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, menstrual volume, endometrial thickness and the sex hormone levels were observed before and after treatment. The clinical efficacy was compared after treatment. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group and the control group was 91.4% and 73.5%, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM symptom scores in both groups decreased significantly (all P<0.05), and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The menstrual volume, endometrial thickness and each sex hormone level of the patients in both groups were significantly improved after treatment (all P<0.05), and the improvements in the observation group were more significant than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Thunder-fire moxibustion can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients with hypomenorrhea after induced abortion; it can increase menstrual volume and endometrial thickness, and regulate the sex hormone levels, producing a better curative effect than the conventional hormone sequential therapy.
