Aiming at the anti-poverty outline of China and the human–environment sustainable development, we propose a multidimensional poverty measure and analysis methodology for measuring the poverty-stricken counties and their contributing factors. We build a set of multidimensional poverty indicators with Chinese characteristics, integrating A–F double cutoffs, dimensional aggregation and decomposition approach, and GIS spatial analysis to evaluate the poor’s multidimensional poverty characteristics under different geographic and socioeconomic conditions. The case study from 11 counties of Hechi City shows that, firstly, each county existed at least four respects of poverty, and overall the poverty level showed the spatial pattern of surrounding higher versus middle lower. Secondly, three main poverty contributing factors were unsafe housing, family health and adults’ illiteracy, while the secondary factors include fuel type and children enrollment rate, etc., generally demonstrating strong autocorrelation; in terms of poverty degree, the western of the research area shows a significant aggregation effect, whereas the central and the eastern represent significant spatial heterogeneous distribution. Thirdly, under three kinds of socioeconomic classifications, the intra-classification diversities of H, A, and MPI are greater than their inter-classification ones, while each of the three indexes has a positive correlation with both the rocky desertification degree and topographic fragmentation degree, respectively. This study could help policymakers better understand the local poverty by identifying the poor, locating them and describing their characteristics, so as to take differentiated poverty alleviation measures according to specific conditions of each county.

Background: Infantile fever is a common symptom of the pediatric diseases, which is often caused by cold, food accumulation, or other pathogenic factors. Pediatric tuina is regarded as an acceptable non-pharmaceutical therapy for children with optimal effects, which has been widely used for infantile fever around China. But there is still a lack of systematic evaluation and research on its safety and effectiveness during the treatment of infantile fever. Thus the protocol is to collect clinical evidence and demonstrate the efficacy and safety of antipyretic manipulation by pediatric tuina. Methods: The systematic electronic search will be executed in Cochrane Library (1991–2020.6), EMBASE (1980–2020.6), PubMed (1996–2020.6), WHOICTRP (2004–2020.6), Web of Science (1900–2020.6), CNKI (1994–2020.6), CBM (1994–2020.6), WANFANG (1980–2020.6), and VIP (2000–2020.6) Database. The Review Manager (V.5.3) will be use to assess the risk of bias and data analyses. The methodological quality will be assessed by using the online GRADEpro tool. If the quality of numeric data is favorable, a meta-analysis will be carried out. Results: A high-quality evidence of pediatric tuina for the treatment of infantile fever. Conclusion: The systematic review will provide a reliable basis for judging whether pediatric tuina is safe and effective in the treatment of pediatric fever.
