PYONGYANG -- The official media of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Tuesday called on the Republic of Korea (ROK) to avoid any action that could harm the on-going inter-Korean rapprochement.Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the DPRK, called a ceremony recently held marking the 8th anniversary of the sinking of ROK warship Cheonan "an unpardonable confrontational act of throwing a wet blanket over the atmosphere of improved inter-Korean relations."High-ranking authorities and officials, opposition parties and the commander of the US troops in ROK attended the ceremony held at the State Taejon Hyonchung Cemetery.The daily, a newspaper of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, called the ceremony an anti-DPRK confrontational farce invented by South Korean conservatives to completely destroy north-south relations."Nevertheless, the present South Korean authorities ... are chiming in on the anti-DPRK smear incident," the daily said.The Cheonan sunk in 2010. Of the 104 soldiers onboard, 46 were killed. Seoul said the corvette was sunk by torpedoes fired by the DPRK, a charge repeatedly denied by Pyongyang.The two Koreas held a high-level dialogue last week, agreeing to hold a summit between ROK President Moon Jae-in and top DPRK leader Kim Jong-un on April 27 in Panmunjom. silicone allergy braceletwholesale rubber braceletsprinted wristbandsbracelet en silicone nikebracelet maker rubber

[Photo/VCG] BEIJING - A national epidemiological survey report on the prevalence of mental disorders among Chinese adults was published on the latest issue of the international journal The Lancet Psychiatry. The report shows that the prevalence of seven kinds of mental disorders including mood and anxiety disorders between 2013 and 2015 was over 1 percent higher than in 1982. Professor Huang Yueqin of the No. 6 Hospital of Peking University, who is the first writer of the report and lead researcher, said the survey offers national data and analysis for policymakers and healthcare professionals to explore and address the factors that affect mental health in China. The samples were taken from 157 representative population-based disease surveillance areas in 31 provincial regions on the Chinese mainland. Face-to-face interviews with 32,552 respondents were conducted by trained interviewers and psychiatrists. Anxiety disorders were the most common class of disorders both in the 12 months before the interview and in the respondents' lifetime, with a prevalence rate of 4.98 percent. The weighted prevalence of dementia in people aged 65 years or older was 5.6 percent. The research, supported by government authorities, involves 43 Chinese psychiatric hospitals and research institutes.
