3. Unique feature of
the journal
The journal reports geochemical diseases happened in China or
seriously threatening people’s health (Keshan disease, Kaschin-Beck
disease, Iodine Deficiency Disorders, Endemic Fluorosis, and Endemic
Arsenism), and endemic natural focal diseases (plague, brucellosis,
and epidemic hemorrhagic fever etc). The journal reports not only
experience on endemic disease control, but also theory and advance
on etiology and pathogenesis of the diseases.
Due to diversity in geographic condition, ecological environment,
and resident’s habits and customs, endemic diseases in China have
some characteristic different from the same types of diseases in
other countries or regions. Keshan disease, Kaschin-Beck disease,
coal-burning type of fluorosis, coal-buring type of arsenism, and
drinking-tea type of fluorosis reported in the journal are unique
in the world. These diseases are related to deficiency or poisoning
of many essential trace elements such as iodine, selenium, fluorine,
and arsenic which are involved in the life process. In recent years,
the journal published many papers describing chemical elements menace
human health, such as brain damage induced by iodine deficiency
or excess and its molecular mechanism; selenium deficiency and Keshan
and Kaschin-Beck diseases and preventive effect of selenium supplement;
geographic distribution of high-fluorine and high-arsenic water
and possible reasons; disease-causing mechanism of fluorine and
arsenic on molecular level. Progress made in those respect is far
beyond the field of endemic diseases, and pushed the development
of related subjects. The journal has many audience and authors in
China, and we believe it will also interest audience and authors
in other parts of the world.
