With rapidly increasing urbanization and motorization in China, the effect of commuting on residents’ subjective well-being (SWB) is likely growing. We used 13,261 individual, 124 city, 401 neighbourhood samples from 2014 China Labour-Force Dynamics Survey (CLDS 2014) applied multilevel mixed-effects ordered probit regressions to investigate relationship between SWB. found huge differences urban rural areas relation commuting. Urban respondents’ daily average time was 0.56 h while 0.41 h....

Beta-carboline alkaloids such as harmine are present in medicinal plants Peganum harmala that have been used folk medicine anticancer therapy. In our study, 9 derivatives (including harmine) were investigated for their antitumor effects and acute toxicities mice, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) was also analyzed. Administration of these compounds resulted tumor inhibition rates 15.3-49.5% mice bearing Lewis Lung Cancer, sarcoma180 or HepA tumor, with highest value 49.5% from...
