Level measurement, regional variations, and the dynamic evolution of active aging in China—analysis based on CHARLS tracking data by Jiru Guo, Xiaoli Zhang, Xiaoli Zhang, Longyin Chen, Hong Yang

“…Older Chinese people exhibit high levels of physical and mental health, but social participation and economic status remain areas of weakness in active aging. (2) Inter-regional differences are the main source of the overall differences in the level of active aging in China. (3) There is a spatial clustering of the active aging level in China, along with a neighborhood effect. (4) The bifurcation phenomenon of active aging in China has intensified over time. …”

Identification of virulence genes and clade-specific markers through pan-genomic analysis of Leptospira by Mohd Abdullah, Mohammad Kadivella, Rolee Sharma, Mirza. S. Baig, Syed M. Faisal, Sarwar Azam

“…In this study, we did whole genome sequencing of one Leptospira isolate and a comparative genomic analysis with 69 other species of Leptospira available in RefSeq database provided insight into taxonomic and evolutionary relationship between species. AAI and whole genome based phylogenomic analysis established 3 clusters of Leptospira i.e. pathogenic, intermediate and saprophytic correlating with level of virulence of species. …”
