Many famous classical writers think that the East and the West has formed two different ways when commenting on the historical process from primitive society to enter the civilized society. These two different ways are represented by Ancient Greece of "Classical Ancient", and represented by ancient Eastern countries of "Ancient Asia". Specifically, the development path of "Classical Ancient" is from clan to private property and then to state, individual private ownership breaks through the clan organization, state replaces the clan. In the absence of digestion of the original clan organization, the "Ancient Asia" directly develops into slavery countries, and consanguinity clan system integrates with national organization form. Different paths of historical development have created different cultural characteristic, therefore there are many differences between Eastern and Western culture. "Cultural Comparison" is a major problem, limited to textual length, in this article we will mainly do some research on different rational thinking mode, social governance mode, human nature theory and other issues of Eastern and Western ethical culture, and study the social causes behind cultural differences. For example, while Western culture highlights the cultural system of scientific rationality, Eastern culture focuses on the thinking system of value rationality; Eastern social governance follows a path different from the Western contract legal system; in the theory of human nature, the Western advocates of evil of human nature, the Eastern of Confucian advocates of good of human nature. Therefore, the result is "politics of spread the goodness" in Western in comparison with "politics of restrain the evil" in Eastern of Confucian. The existence of every culture has its realistic reasons and historical reasons for its existence. Investigating the significant differences between Eastern and Western culture and studying the deep reasons of these differences has important significance for understanding the differences between Eastern and Western culture, also better understanding Chinese culture, Korean culture, Western culture, accommodating Eastern and Western Culture to get better development of human culture. The social and material condition of production determines the mode of social life, and also the ideology and culture of the mode of social life. If we want to understand the history and ideology culture of East and West, and if we want to understand the Confucianism which guides and influences the history and culture of Eastern, we must make deep research on background of the social and historical causes of the Confucianism of East to analyze the specific social and historical conditions. From the view of different ways which generate the Eastern and Western history road, "Classical Ancient" is formed on the basis of private ownership after the collapse of the system "Ancient Asia" is transformed from the clan public ownership of land into state ownership of land. Direct transition from the clan to the state makes the whole social structure of generating legacy system of clan, which is linked by consanguinity. This is the key issue to understand the mode of production, social system, ideology and culture of the ancient Orient, and especially it is the direct historical basis to study the formation and characteristics of Confucianism. The history road of "Asian" shows that public ownership of land in ancient orient and the forms of social organization that determined by low productivity, makes the national publics function created in the absence of complete differentiation and disintegration of the clan organization. Thus, the country`s social structure naturally depends on the natural consanguineous organization. "Classical Ancient" is from the family to private property and then to the state. The family is replaced by state. "Ancient Asia" is from family to the state and the state is mixed with the family. Clan exists as prototype organization for the nation. The state is established by the relationship of clan consanguinity, the rule mode, which can be learned from and imitated, is also directly derived from the clan rule mode. The strong legacy system of clan in state`s political system makes the social structure, cultural spirit and historical process of ancient orient with great particularity. The Confucianism founded by Confucius is a theoretical reflection of real existence of clan (patriarchal clan system) of the Ancient Oriental state and another extension of the history road of "Asian" in the ideological field. Today, as a very profound way, globalization is gradually reconstructing the social life of different countries and nations all over the world. Due to the historical and practical reasons, the Eastern and Western has developed two different historical paths, creating their own characteristics objectively. How to grasp the demands of cultural accommodation in the world of globalization, how to get better development in the cultural conflict and cultural integration of these two different culture, it is the question which must be answered in the study of comparative subject of Eastern and Western culture.

Chen, Qi,Xia, Hong-Wei,Ge, Xiao-Jun,Zhang, Yu-Chen,Tang, Qiu-Lin,Bi, Feng Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.12

Background: Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. FOLFOX is the most common regimen used in the first-line chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer, but only half of the patients respond to this regimen and we have almost no clue in predicting resistance in such first-line application. Methods: To explore the potential molecular biomarkers predicting the resistance of FOLFOX regimen as the first-line treatment in advanced colorectal cancer, we screened microRNAs in serum samples from drug-responsive and drug-resistant patients by microarrays. Then differential microRNA expression was further validated in an independent population by reverse transcription and quantitative real-time PCR. Results: 62 microRNAs expressing differentially with fold-change >2 were screened out by microarray analysis. Among them, 5 (miR-221, miR-222, miR-122, miR-19a, miR-144) were chosen for further validation in an independent population (N=72). Our results indicated serum miR-19a to be significantly up-regulated in resistance-phase serum (p=0.009). The ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity of serum miR-19a to discriminate the resistant patients from the response ones was 66.7%, and the specificity was 63.9% when the AUC was 0.679. We additionally observed serum miR-19a had a complementary value for cancer embryonic antigen (CEA). Stratified analysis further revealed that serum miR-19a predicted both intrinsic and acquired drug resistance. Conclusions: Our findings confirmed aberrant expression of serum miR-19a in FOLFOX chemotherapy resistance patients, suggesting serum miR-19a could be a potential molecular biomarker for predicting and monitoring resistance to first-line FOLFOX chemotherapy regimens in advanced colorectal cancer patients.

Ge Tian,Li Xiong,Wenhua Lin,Jinghao Han,Xiang-Yan Chen,Thomas Wai Hong Leung,Yannie Oi Yan Soo,Lawrence Ka Sing Wong 대한신경과학회 2016 Journal of Clinical Neurology Vol.12 No.3

Background and PurposezzExternal counterpulsation (ECP) is a noninvasive method used to enhance cerebral perfusion by elevating the blood pressure in ischemic stroke. However, the response of the beat-to-beat blood pressure variability (BPV) in ischemic stroke patients during ECP remains unknown. MethodszzWe enrolled recent ischemic stroke patients and healthy controls. Changes in the blood fow velocities in bilateral middle cerebral arteries and the continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure before, during, and afer ECP were monitored. Power spectral analysis revealed that the BPV included oscillations at very low frequency (VLF; <0.04 Hz), low frequency (LF; 0.04– 0.15 Hz), and high frequency (HF; 0.15–0.40 Hz), and the total power spectral density (TP; <0.40 Hz) and LF/HF ratio were calculated. ResultszzWe found that ECP signifcantly increased the systolic and diastolic blood pressures in both stroke patients and controls. ECP decreased markedly the systolic and diastolic BPVs at VLF and LF and the TP, and the diastolic BPV at HF when compared with baseline. Te decreases in diastolic and systolic BPV reached 37.56% and 23.20%, respectively, at VLF, 21.15% and 12.19% at LF, 8.76% and 16.59% at HF, and 31.92% and 23.62% for the total TP in stroke patients, which did not difer from those in healthy controls. Te change in fow velocity on the contralateral side was positively correlated with the total TP systolic BPV change induced by ECP (r=0.312, p=0.035). ConclusionszzECP reduces the beat-to-beat BPV when increasing the blood pressure and cerebral blood fow velocity in ischemic stroke patients. ECP might be able to improve the clinical outcome by decreasing the beat-to-beat BPV in stroke patients, and this should be explored further in future studies.

X. J. Chen,J. C. Xu,H. X. Jin,D. F. Jin,B. Hong,H. L. Ge,X. Q. Wang 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2017 NANO Vol.12 No.5

In this paper, ordered mesoporous SBA-15 silica was synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and then a series of CoFe2O4/SBA-15 nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile impregnation method. X-ray diffraction and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms were used to characterize the microstructure and morphology of SBA-15 and CoFe2O4/SBA-15 nanocomposites. CoFe2O4 nanoparticles presented spinel phase structure and existed in the mesopores of SBA-15. The magnetic response of CoFe2O4/SBA-15 nanocomposites was characterized with vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The adsorption efficiency of CoFe2O4/SBA-15 nanocomposites for methylene blue increased firstly with the increasing CoFe2O4 content, and then decreased. Sample-2 (SBA-15: CoFe2O4 = 1: 0.1 in the precursor) not only presented the best adsorptive performance, but also could be separated and retrieved effectively by magnetic separation technique.

Liu, Jia,Ge, Yang-Yang,Zhu, Hong-Cheng,Yang, Xi,Cai, Jing,Zhang, Chi,Lu, Jing,Zhan, Liang-Liang,Qin, Qin,Yang, Yan,Yang, Yue-Hua,Zhang, Hao,Chen, Xiao-Chen,Liu, Zhe-Ming,Ma, Jian-Xin,Cheng, Hong-Yan,S Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.16

Radiation therapy is an important treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, how to promote radiation sensitivity in HNSCC remains a challenge. This study aimed to investigate the radiosensitizing effects of fenofibrate on HNSCC and explore the underlying mechanisms. HNSCC cell lines CNE-2 and KB were subjected to ionizing radiation (IR), in the presence or absence of fenofibrate treatment. Cell growth and survival, apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated. In addition, CNE-2 cells were xenografted into nude mice and subjected to IR and/or fenofibrate treatment. The expression of cyclinB and CDK1 was detected by Western blotting. Our results showed that fenofibrate efficiently radiosensitized HNSCC cells and xenografts in mice, and induced apoptosis and G2/M arrest via reducing the activity of the CDK1/cyclinB1 kinase complex. These data suggest that fenofibrate could be a promising radiosensitizer for HNSCC radiotherapy.

Adjuvant Radiotherapy after Breast Conserving Treatment for Breast Cancer:A Dosimetric Comparison between Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy

Liu, Zhe-Ming,Ge, Xiao-Lin,Chen, Jia-Yan,Wang, Pei-Pei,Zhang, Chi,Yang, Xi,Zhu, Hong-Cheng,Liu, Jia,Qin, Qin,Xu, Li-Ping,Lu, Jing,Zhan, Liang-Liang,Cheng, Hong-Yan,Sun, Xin-Chen Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.8

Background: Radiotherapy is an important treatment of choice for breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery, and we compare the feasibility of using dual arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT2), single arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT1) and Multi-beam Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (M-IMRT) on patients after breast-conserving surgery. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with breast cancer (half right-sided and half left-sided) treated by conservative lumpectomy and requiring whole breast radiotherapy with tumor bed boost were planned with three different radiotherapy techniques: 1) VMAT1; 2) VMAT2; 3) M-IMRT. The distributions for the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs) were compared. Dosimetries for all the techniques were compared. Results: All three techniques satisfied the dose constraint well. VMAT2 showed no obvious difference in the homogeneity index (HI) and conformity index (CI) of the PTV with respect to M-IMRT and VMAT1. VMAT2 clearly improved the treatment efficiency and can also decrease the mean dose and V5Gy of the contralateral lung. The mean dose and maximum dose of the spinal cord and contralateral breast were lower for VMAT2 than the other two techniques. The very low dose distribution (V1Gy) of the contralateral breast also showed great reduction in VMAT2 compared with the other two techniques. For the ipsilateral lung of right-sided breast cancer, the mean dose was decreased significantly in VMAT2 compared with VMAT1 and M-IMRT. The V20Gy and V30Gy of the ipsilateral lung of the left-sided breast cancer for VMAT2 showed obvious reduction compared with the other two techniques. The heart statistics of VMAT2 also decreased considerably compared to VMAT1 and M-IMRT. Conclusions: Compared to the other two techniques, the dual arc volumetric modulated arc therapy technique reduced radiation dose exposure to the organs at risk and maintained a reasonable target dose distribution.

African Maternal Origin and Genetic Diversity of Chinese Domestic Donkeys

Lei, Chu-Zhao,Ge, Qing-Lan,Zhang, Hu-Cai,Liu, Ruo-Yu,Zhang, Wei,Jiang, Yong-Qing,Dang, Rui-Hua,Zheng, Hui-Ling,Hou, Wen-Tong,Chen, Hong Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2007 Animal Bioscience Vol.20 No.5

The origin of domestic donkeys in China has been controversial. To clarify the origin of Chinese domestic donkeys, we investigated the partial mitochondrial D-loop sequences of 126 samples from 12 native breeds. The results revealed two mitochondrial origins, lineage Somali and lineage Nubian of African wild ass detected in Chinese domestic donkeys. Lineage Somali was predominant in Chinese domestic donkey breeds. The pattern of genetic variation in ass mtDNA D-loop sequences indicated that the two lineages Somali and Nubian from China had undergone population expansion events. In a combined analysis of lineages Somali and Nubian between previously published sequences from other countries/regions and sequences of Chinese domestic donkeys, the results indicated that the two lineages of Chinese domestic donkeys were from Africa and supported the African maternal origins of Chinese domestic donkeys. There was no obvious geographical structure in Chinese domestic donkey breeds, but the population showed abundant mtDNA diversity. The spread routes of Chinese domestic donkeys were also discussed.

Effect of High Energy Shot Peening on the Microstructure and Mechanical Property of AZ31B Mg Alloy/HSLA350 Steel Lap Joints

Rui Li,Xinjian Yuan,Ting Li,Miao Hong,Shiwei Tao,Zhuo Chen,Ge Wang 한국정밀공학회 2021 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.22 No.5

When using high energy shot peening (HESP) technology, the surface layer of the welded joints produced grain breakage and residual compressive stress. When the shot peening strength is the optimal parameter 0.10 MPa, the residual compressive stress reaches a maximum value of 74.02 MPa, dislocation density in welded joints increased significantly and the tensile shear strength of the joint was increased by 18.6% compared to the joint without HESP treatment (205 MPa), and the fracture position of the welded joint was located in the Al alloy base material, these were brought by fi ne grain strengthening and strain strengthening. When the shot peening strength was 0.05 MPa, the strength of the joint was also improved, but the fracture position of the joint was the same as that without HESP treatment, and they were all in the fusion zone. However, when the shot peening strength was further increased to 0.15 MPa, severe cracks appeared inside the joint, which deteriorates the strength of the Mg/steel joint.
