Use of Cataract Surgery in Urban Beijing: a Post Screening Follow-up of the Elderly with Visual Impairment due to Age-related Cataract

Objective To understand the perception for the use of cataract surgical services in a population acceptors and non-acceptors of cataract surgery in urban Beijing. Methods From a community-based screening program a total of 158 patients with presenting visual acuity of less than 6/18 on either eye due to age-related cataract were informed about the possibility of surgical treatment. These patients were interviewed and re-examined 36 to 46 months after initial screening. The main reasons for not accepting surgery were obtained using a questionnaire. Vision function and vision-related quality of life scores were assessed in those who received and did not receive surgery. Results At the follow-up examination 116 of the 158 patients were available and 36 （31.0%） had undergone cataract surgery. Cases who chose surgery had higher education level than those who did not seek surgery （OR=2.64, 95% CI： 1.08-6.63, P=0.02）. There were no significant differences in vision function （P=0.11） or quality of life scores （P=0.16） between the surgery group and the non-surgery group. Main reasons for not having surgery included no perceived need （50.0%）, feeling of being ＂too old＂ （19.2%）, and worry about the quality of surgery （9.6%）. Cost was seeking surgery. cited by 1 （1.9%） subject as the main reason for not

Revitalizing Old Industrial Base of Northeast China:Process, Policy and Challenge

Northeast China is the largest old industrial base of China that endured persistent influence of the past planned economy system. This region has lost its leading place since the reform and opening up, and became a backward region by contrast with the coastal areas. This paper elaborates the evolutionary process of the old industrial base of Northeast China, analyses the main reasons for the decline, gives a preliminary evaluation on the revitalizing polices in recent years, and points out major long-term challenges for future revitalization. It concludes that for Northeast China, a relative declining area: 1) it is indispensable to get the long-term policy support from the central government; 2) system reform and structure adjustment are the crucial strategies, particularly the reform of the large and medium state-owned enterprises; and devel-oping new industries is as important as upgrading traditional advantaged industries; 3) the local governments should play an indirect role, avoiding from any unnecessary intervention on economic activity; and 4) social security and investment climate must be improved simultaneously. In addition, the author stresses that the lack of knowledge on the nature of old industrial base had led to failures of the past initiatives, and revitalizing the old industrial base should be treated as a holis-tic regional project including economy growth, society progress and environment improvement.

Supply-Side Structural Reforms of China's Industries

Supply-side structural reforms are structural adjustments and institutional reforms to address the mismatch between supply and demand and improve TFP. The mismatch is exhibited at the supply side and arises from structural contradictions and must be addressed through reforms. Supply-side structural reforms can be analyzed at the levels of firms, industries and government to arrive at theoretical and systematic conclusions that offer practical guidance. Based on this perspective, this paper proposes policy recommendations on how to deal with zombie firms, reduce cost for manufacturing companies, deepen SOE reforms, eliminate overcapacity, implement ＂Made in China 2025＂ and Internet＋ strategies, promote Beijing-l^anjin-Hebei integrated development, as well as develop the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the old industrial bases of the northeast.

The Comparative Approach on Outdoor Leisure Behavior of Urban Elderly People:A Case Study in Beijing

With the income increase of elderly people in Beijing and the improvement of leisure facilities since 2000, the quality of elderly people leisure life in Beijing has obviously increased com- pared to ten years ago. According to the investigation and com- parative analysis on more than 900 elderly people, who usually exercise in public parks in Beijing City, we have found out several new features of elderly people＇s outdoor recreation in Belting： the increase of the leisure time, the expansion of leisure space, the in- dividuation of interest and the diversification of consumption. The leisure life quality evaluation index system of urban elderly people can be built based on these analyses. In order to accommodate the development tendency of elderly people＇s demand for leisure diversification, we should strengthen the organization and manage- ment of elderly people＇s leisure activity in urban construction, and pay more attention to function complementation between commu- nities and parks.

Problems of elderly health care and welfare arrangement --Case study of demand on elder care in northeastern of Thailand

This research attempted to explain the problems of elderly health care, the problems and suggestion in elder welfare arrangement and the demand on elder care. The survey underlying this study was conducted in Muang district, Khon Kaen province, Thailand. Eighteen subdistricts were interviewed in the study area. Data were collected in two areas of Khon Kaen province, that are, the city of Khon Kaen and the outside Thesaban Nakhon Khon Kaen. The random sample consisted of 386 elders： 112 elders lived in the city of Khon Kaen and 234 elders lived outside Thesaban Nakhon Khon Kaen, Muang district, Khon Kaen. The analysis of the demand on elderly welfare gave an interesting result that the elders demanded on monthly income to support living cost and medical services at high level; The demand on housing was at low level; The demand on education, religion and culture the demand on club, sport and entertainment, and the demand on job and art were at the moderate level; The main problem of elderly welfare arrangement was the scarcity of budget support, the weakness of elder health, and activities announcement. The analysis of pattern of elder welfare： The case study of elder care identified that 31.87 percent of the elders had demand on elder care. Price of the elder care at 100 Baht per day was mostly selected about one-fourth of all the case occurred. Female elder selected the elder care at 100 Baht per day, while male elder choose at a higher price level, which were 200 Baht per day and 150 Baht per day respectively. The female elder care was the most popular. The elder care age between 30-39 years was mostly selected. Finally, most of elders purposed the working day of the elder care depend on their appointment.

Marketization,social transformation and "care rotation" for the rural elderly in the suburbs of urban areas:an analysis of the children's recollections

Through in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys of rural residents on the periphery of the city of Baoding, Hebei Province, this study examines the living conditions of old couples with two or more married sons in the last years of their lives. This study indicates that adult sons＇ setting up their own homes is a precondition for elderly couples＇ becoming ＂empty nesters,＂ a situation which in turn leads to contracts for ＂care rotation.＂ Many factors, including marketization, the transformation of social structure and the rising status of daughters-in-law in family decision-making are responsible for elderly people＇s loss of their role in such decision-making. Therefore, during the life course of the elderly, ＂care rotation＂ is in fact an arrangement imposed on elderly parents rather than their own choice.

Aboveground biomass and seasonal patterns of aboveground net primary productivity in five bamboo species in northern Laos

Aims Accurate estimates of bamboo biomass and net primary productivity(NPP)are required to evaluate the carbon sequestration potential of bamboo forests.However,relevant data that are important for climate change mitigation,have rarely been collected in regions outside of East Asia and India.Information on seasonal patterns of NPP and its components will enable the quantification of factors that influence the carbon balance in bamboo forests.In this study,we quantified the aboveground biomass(AGB)and aboveground NPP of five major bamboo species in northern Laos using monthly data collected over a 12-month period.Methods All live culms in 10,2 m×2 m plots(for one monopodial bamboo species:Indosasa sinica)and 30 clumps per species(for four sympodial bamboo species:Bambusa tulda,Cephalostachyum virgatum,Dendrocalamus membranaceus and Gigantochloa sp.)were numbered and measured at breast height.We set 10 or 20 litter traps per species to collect litterfall.Censuses of dead and recruited culms and litterfall collection were performed once per month for 12 months.Important Findings The AGB was highest in I.sinica(59.87 Mg ha^(-1))and lowest in C.virgatum(11.54 Mg ha^(-1)),and was mostly below the plausible global range for bamboos(32–256 Mg ha^(-1)).The sympatric distribution of multiple bamboo species at the study sites may have suppressed the AGB in four of the five studied species.The aboveground NPP estimates were between 3.43 and 14.25 Mg ha^(-1) yr^(-1);those for D.membranaceus(8.20 Mg ha^(-1) yr^(-1))and I.sinica(14.25 Mg ha^(-1) yr^(-1))were comparable to mean global estimates for temperate evergreen forests(8.78 Mg ha^(-1) yr^(-1))and tropical moist forests(10.56 Mg ha^(-1) yr^(-1)).High culm recruitment rates(15.20–23.39%yr^(-1))were major contributors to aboveground NPP estimates.Seasonal patterns of aboveground NPP were largely influenced by the phenology of the new culms.In the four sympodial bamboo species,new culms began to emerge following the onset of persistent rainfall,mainly in July and August.However,the sprouting of new culms in the monopodial species I.sinica followed a trend of increasing temperatures,mainly in March and April.Thus,our results indicate that bamboos have considerable potential for sequestering carbon in northern Laos,but that this potential may be affected by climate change.
