YAN TING 한국중국언어문화연구회 2022 한중언어문화연구 Vol.- No.64

This study is about the death narrative of <The New Yorker>in Bai xianyong's novels,And summed it up as the three main themes of death narrative: Choose death, wait for death,transcend death. Bai Xianyong is good at describing the living conditions of Chinese wandering overseas in detail. The motifs of his works - joy for prosperous life, reluctance for death and loss, run through his creations, due to his complex life experience and cultural origins. Death narratives are presented in various ways in his novels. This article starts with the type of death narrative in The New Yorker, and sorts out its creative background and symbolic meaning from works. Through the analysis of the same series of short stories, it explores his view on death. Life cognition of life: In the state of life in which the body is born and the soul dies, the active choice of death has redemptive significance. The death narrative presented in The New Yorker is full of life pain, grief, and compassion for people. The New Yorker has obvious existential care in the writing context. Human consciousness and death are a necessary part of existence. Only by understanding death and earnestly appreciating the value of human existence before reaching the end of life, can the meaning of birth be highlighted. 本論文是關於白先勇小說《紐約客》死亡敘事的相關研究,死亡敘事是指作家將死亡作為主題展現在作品中,以死亡作為切入點觀察人生、探求生命意義的書寫方式。白先勇擅長對海外飄零的華人生命狀態進行細緻描寫,他的作品體現了對繁華生命的歡喜,對消亡傷逝的不捨,死亡敘事貫穿其創作的始終。由於他複雜的人生經歷、文化淵源的多重性,死亡敘事在他的小說中有多種樣態的呈現。本文以《紐約客》中死亡敘事類型入手,以<謫仙記>、<骨灰>、<Danny Boy>為代表作來梳理其創作背景和象征意義,透過對同系列短篇小說的剖析,探尋他以死觀生的生命認知在不同創作階段的變化:呈現在《紐約客》中的死亡敘事,其中飽含身世之痛、家國之殤、傷逝之情和對人的悲憫。論者將之歸納為三個主基調:選擇死亡、等待死亡和超越死亡。人在現實與理想的衝突中,選擇死亡來反抗生存的局限性;在靈魂已死的精神狀態中等待死亡來臨,以此反映生存的無奈;通過救助他人實現對死亡的超越。三個階段死亡觀都反映出存在主義思想的影響:以死觀生,死亡是存在的一部分,寫死亡是為了喚起人生命的自覺,只有了解死亡,在抵達必死的生命終點之前認真體味人生存的價值,才能凸顯出生命的意義。

In countries with severe gun regulations, soldiers and police officers are commonly attacked by sharp weapons. The current personal protective equipment is too heavy, and therefore, in this study, mechanically strong Kevlar® fibers,nylon fibers, and Low-melting-point polyester (LMPET) fibers are needle punched to make thin, light, and comfortablenonwoven fabrics. Hot-baking and hot-pressing heat treatments are used for thermal bonding fibers, which subsequentlygenerate a dense and rigid surface because nonwoven fabrics are subjected to damaged structure by needle punch or aslippery state due to the fibers’ properties. The results of the air permeability, tensile strength, and quasi-static stab resistancetestings verify that the dense surface is correlated with hot-pressing heat treatment.

Effects of a novel marine natural product: pyrano indolone alkaloid fibrinolytic compound on thrombolysis and hemorrhagic activities in vitro and in vivo

Ting Yan,Wen-Hui Wu,Tongwei Su,Jiajie Chen,Quangang Zhu,Chaoyan Zhang,Xiaoyu Wang,Bin Bao 대한약학회 2015 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.38 No.8

Fungi fibrinolytic compound 1 (FGFC1) is a novel marine natural product as a low-weight fibrinolytic pyranoindole molecule, whose thrombolytic effects were evaluated on FITC-fibrin (Fluorescein isothiocyanate, FITC) degradation methods in vitro and on acute pulmonary thromboembolism animal model in vivo. We determined the FGFC1 induced thrombolysis that stems from its fibrin(ogen)olytic activities as measured by fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDPs) experiment, acute pulmonary thromboembolism animal model experiment, and euglobulin lysis assay. In vitro, measurement of FITCfibrin degradation revealed that fibrin hydrolysis occurred in a concentration-dependent manner of FGFC1 from 5 to 25 l mol/L. In vivo test of a classical acute pulmonary thromboembolism model in rat showed that when the injected dose was 5 mg/kg or above, FGFC1 was effectivein dissolution of extrinsic FITC-fibrin induced blood clots. Euglobulin lysis time (ELT) in FGFC1-treated rats was shortened 30 s compared with rats in the positive control group, which were injected with clopidogrel sulfate and single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator. As compared to the control, FGFC1 (5–25 mg/kg) did not significantly alter the formation of fibrinogen and FDPs in vivo. Our research indicates that FGFC1 presents pharmacodynamic action in both the thrombolysis and the hemolytic procedure, which can be characterized by fibrinogenolysis in blood and FDPs in plasma. In vivo, increasing fibrinolytic doses of FGFC1 from 5 to 25 mg/kg did not induce fibrinogenolysis when compared with control group, this result corresponds to that FGFC1 did not induce the increasing of FDPs (compared with the salinetreated control). It indicates that the FGFC1 may act as a novel thrombolytic agent and represent an effective approach to the treatment of thrombus without significant risk of hemorrhagic activity.

Background: In China, secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCR) has been widely used in ovarian cancer (OC) over the past two decades. Although Gynecologic Oncology Group-0213 trial did not show its overall survival benefit in first relapsed patients, the questions on patient selection and effect of subsequent targeting therapy are still open. The preliminary data from our pre-SOC1 phase II study showed that selected patients with second relapse who never received SCR at recurrence may still benefit from surgery. Moreover, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) maintenance now has been a standard care for platinum sensitive relapsed OC. To our knowledge, no published or ongoing trial is trying to answer the question if patient can benefit from a potentially complete resection combined with PARPi maintenance in OC patients with secondary recurrence. Methods: SOC-3 is a multi-center, open, randomized, controlled, phase II trial of SCR followed by chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance vs chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance in patients with platinum-sensitive second relapsed OC who never received SCR at recurrence. To guarantee surgical quality, if the sites had no experience of participating in any OC-related surgical trials, the number of recurrent lesions evaluated by central-reviewed positron emission tomography–computed tomography image shouldn't be more than 3. Eligible patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either SCR followed by 6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance or 6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance alone. Patients who undergo at least 4 cycles of chemotherapy and must be, in the opinion of the investigator, without disease progression, will be assigned niraparib maintenance. Major inclusion criteria are secondary relapsed OC with a platinum-free interval of no less than 6 months and a possibly complete resection. Major exclusion criteria are borderline tumors and non-epithelial ovarian malignancies, received debulking surgery at recurrence and impossible to complete resection. The sample size is 96 patients. Primary endpoint is 12-month non-progression rate. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03983226

Ting-Ting Li,Shuang-Shuang Geng,Hui-Yan Xu,Ao-Lin Luo,Peng-Wei Zhao,Huan Yang,Xing-Wei Liang,Yang-Qing Lu,Xiao-Gan Yang,Ke-Huan Lu 대한수의학회 2020 Journal of Veterinary Science Vol.21 No.1

Currently, the systems for culturing buffalo spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in vitro are varied, and their effects are still inconclusive. In this study, we compared the effects of culture systems with undefined (foetal bovine serum) and defined (KnockOut Serum Replacement) materials on the in vitro culture of buffalo SSC-like cells. Significantly more DDX4- and UCHL1-positive cells (cultured for 2 days at passage 2) were observed in the defined materials culture system than in the undefined materials system (p < 0.01), and these cells were maintained for a longer period than those in the culture system with undefined materials (10 days vs. 6 days). Furthermore, NANOS2 (p < 0.05), DDX4 (p < 0.01) and UCHL1 (p < 0.05) were expressed at significantly higher levels in the culture system with defined materials than in that with undefined materials. Induction with retinoic acid was used to verify that the cultured cells maintained SSC characteristics, revealing an SCP3+ subset in the cells cultured in the defined materials system. The expression levels of Stra8 (p < 0.05) and Rec8 (p < 0.01) were significantly increased, and the expression levels of ZBTB16 (p < 0.01) and DDX4 (p < 0.05) were significantly decreased. These findings provided a clearer research platform for exploring the mechanism of buffalo SSCs in vitro.

Dynamics and Liver Disease Specific Aspects of Quality of Life Among Patients with Chronic Liver Disease in Yunnan, China

Che, Yan-Hua,You, Jing,Chongsuvivatwong, Virasakdi,Li, Li,Sriplung, Hucha,Yan, Yuan-Zhi,Ma, Si-Jia,Zhang, Xiaoli,Shen, Ting,Chen, He-Min,Rao, Shao-Feng,Zhang, Ru-Yi Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.12

Background: Patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD) may have compromised health related quality of life (HRQoL). Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has long been the leading cause of CLD including liver cancer and cirrhosis. Knowledge on different symptom profiles of CLD should help in development of comprehensive treatment and patient care plans. Objective: To access the facets of HRQoL in chronic liver diseases throughout their spectrum of severity. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University in Yunnan Province of China. Both out- and inpatients undergoing treatment protocols for different HBV related liver disease states were consecutively collected from December 2012 to June 2013. ANOVA was used to compare the mean scores of EQ-5D and chronic liver disease questionnaire (CLDQ) among 5 disease groups. The relationship between demographic variables predicting global CLDQ scores and the domains of CLDQ was analysed. Results: A total of 1040 patients including 520 without complications, 91 with compensated cirrhosis, 198 with decompensated cirrhosis, 131 with HCC and 100 with liver failure were recruited. All domains of CLDQ, the means of EQ-5D value and EQ VAS exhibited significant decline with worsening of disease severity from uncomplicated HBV to liver failure. The multivariate regression demonstrated the reduction of mean scores of CLDQ domain at advanced stage. Patients with liver failure and HCC had more HRQoL impairment than other disease states. No effect of patient gender was found. Patient age was associated with 'fatigue' and 'worry' domains (p=0.006; p=0.004) but not with other domains and global scores of CLDQ and ED-5D. Conclusions: The HRQoL in chronic hepatitis B patients is greatly affected by disease states. Care for HBV-related diseases should consider not only the outcomes of treatment strategies but also improvement in patient wellbeing.

Experimental Study and Fine-Tuned Simulation of Cable-Joint Pair Slipping in the Cable-Supported Structure

Renzhang Yan,Chunling Yan,Shuai Wang,Chongsheng Cheng,Ting Liu,Hongbo Liu 한국강구조학회 2023 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.23 No.1

During the tensioning process of the cable-supported structure, the sliding friction between cable wires and joint will have a great influence on the mechanical properties of the structure. However, due to the complex structure of the cable and the combined action of bending deformation and large pre-tension at the cable-strut joint, it is difficult to accurately determine the coefficient of sliding friction (CSF) between cable wires and joint, and thus the overall mechanical properties of the structure cannot be accurately evaluated. Based on the twisting characteristics of the cable, this paper establishes a friction-slip test model and a refined numerical model to carry out detailed study of the mechanical behavior of contact between cable wires and joint during the tensioning process. Firstly, combined with the calculation results of contact mechanics, it is finds that the stress distribution at straight and curved sections of the cable are non-uniform along its axis and each cross section, and the non-uniformity coefficient of the internal force distribution of the cable is further quantified. At the same time, the local bending of the cable will intensify the uneven stress distribution in the circumferential direction of the cable. The non-uniformity of stress reveals the contact working mechanism of the cable-joint pair. Then, the change of the prestress loss between cable wires and joint with the tensioning process is analyzed, and the parametric analysis is conducted to reveal the effect of the cable included angle, tensile force, and lay length on the CSF. The results find that the prestress loss increases approximately linearly with the increase of tension force and decreases with the increase of the cable included angle, but the CSF is less affected by the lay length during the tensioning process. Finally, a method for valuing the CSF of the cable-supported structure is developed.
