Cervical cancer occurs with high morbidity and mortality in Uyghur women in the Xinjiang region, which is considered a high incidence disease in Xinjiang (Ma et al., 2001;...

We investigated the relationships between paraoxonase genetic polymorphisms and essential hypertension in carotid artery atherosclerotic patients. The study included 353 Han participants and 240 Uighur participants from Xinjiang; they were further divided into two groups: essential hypertension with carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAAD group) and essential hypertension without carotid artery at...

Though HIV-1 CRF07_BC rapidly spread in China, there have been few reports about this subtype since its first genetic characterization nearly 10 years ago. It was urgent and necessary to know the current gene variation of circulating CRF07_BC strains. Xinjiang was the main region for the CRF07_BC epidemic and also an ideal region for research on the viral gene evolution. The strains of Ulumuqi ...

Platystethus Mannerheim, currently comprising 53 species, is a widespread genus of the subfamily Oxytelinae in Northern Hemisphere. Platystethus species are most commonly found in dung and other decaying plant materials, occasionally on stream banks. In this paper, we reviewed all 12 species currently known from China. Three species are described as new to science: P. bucerus sp. nov. (from Xiz...

Global warming accelerates water cycle with features of regional difference. However, little is known about the physical mechanism behind the phenomenon. To reveal the links between water cycle and climatic environment, we analyzed the changes of water cycle elements and their relationships with climatic and environmental factors. We found that when global warming was significant during the per...

This paper seeks to contribute to the literature on Han-Uyghur inequality by comparing Han and Uyghur migrants in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Drawing from a survey of 30 sites of service activities and approximately 600 respondents in Urumqi, conducted in 2008, the authors argue that in addition to state-orchestrated migration that has been considered a source of Han-Uyghur inequality, it is also importa...

This paper analyzes a sample from the 2005 mini-census of Xinjiang to examine ethnic stratification in China's labor markets, with a special focus on how ethnic earnings inequality varies by employment sector. We show that Han and Uyghur Chinese dominated different economic sectors. Excluding those in agriculture, Uyghurs were more likely to work in government or institutions than either Han lo...
