When Failed Motherhood Threatens Womanhood
Elaine Yin-Ling Tsui,Jo Oi-Yue Cheng 숙명여자대학교 아시아여성연구원 2018 Asian Women Vol.34 No.2
Historically, motherhood has long been the defining aspect of womanhood. Chinese traditional culture emphasized that continuation of the bloodline is the filial responsibility of sons and daughters-in-law. Thus, infertility is often socially stigmatized as the loss of ability of a woman as a whole. Assisted reproductive technology through the use of donated gametes provides an alternative option for women to reconfigure womanhood through the process of childbearing. In 2014, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight women who have experienced donor-assisted conception (DAC) and successfully given birth to a child. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, a unique framework of how DAC acculturates and protects compromised womanhood among Chinese females emerged. Findings presented in this paper shed light on how infertility affects womanhood, and the extent to which DAC affects women’s social and self-identities.
Bactericidal Activity of Soymilk Fermentation Broth by In Vitro and Animal Models

Soybean fermentation broth (SFB) exhibits potent antibacterial activity against different species of bacteria in in vitro assays and animal models. Four isoflavone compounds—daidzin, genistin, genistein, and daidzein—of SFB were analyzed and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. In the in vitro test, daidzin and daidzein had more potent antibacterial activity than genistin. The minimum inhibition concentration values for these bacteria of SFB ranged from 1.25%to 5%, and the minimum bactericidal concentration values of strains ranged from 2.5% to 10%, depending on the species or strain. Vancomycin-resistant Entercoccus faecalis (VRE) strains were also tested for susceptibility to SFB in two species of animal model: the Sprague–Dawley rat and the BALB/c mouse. SFB-fed Sprague–Dawley rats showed excellent elimination efficiency against VRE, close to 99% compared with the phosphate-buffered saline–fed control group. In the BALB/c mouse model, SFB antibacterial activity was 65–80% against VRE compared with the control. In conclusion, SFB contains natural antibacterial substances such as daidzin, genistin, and daidzein that inhibit bacterial growth.
