Marginal literature, the overseas Chinese writers' self-images in exile
No full textgrantor:
University of TorontoOverseas Chinese literature, a form of marginal literature, has emerged under these circumstances: the exile's complex state of mind, the ambiguity of modern Chinese nationness, and the influences of Western imperialism. It is the literature at margin that is both neglected by Chinese conventions and unrecognized in the foreign host country. Its struggles for recognition and identity are often reflected in the overseas writers' self-images in exile. The main focus of my thesis is therefore on the tragic sense of marginal writers' self-images in their work while in exile will be emphasized. I will concentrate on the continuity of the ancient exiled poet, Qu Yuan, whose tragic sense of life is projected in the self-images of two contemporary overseas writers, Zhang Cuo and Wang Dingjun. It is presented as a case study in the overseas Chinese writers' search for meaning and identity enclosed in their tragic yet heroic self-image of exile.M.A

Phenotypic characterization of GPR120-expressing cells in the interstitial tissue of pancreas
No full textGPR120 functions as a plasma membrane receptor for unsaturated long-chain free fatty acids and involves in GLP-1 secretion, adipogenesis and the control of energy balance. Pancreas is the key organ in fuel and energy metabolism. Here GPR120 expression in human and rat pancreas was observed by RT-PCR, and the distribution and phenotypes of GPR120-positive cells in human and rat pancreas were shown by immunohistochemical staining. GPR120 mRNA expression was found in human and rat pancreas. GPR120-positive cells were scattered mainly in the interstitial tissues of human and rat pancreas, and they were not co-localized with nestin, vimentin, alpha-SMA and glucagon, respectively. However, GPR120 was distributed on the cells positively stained by CD68, the specific marker of macrophages, and on the cells positive stained by CD34 and CD117, the markers of interstitial cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the expression of GPR120 in pancreas and shows the distribution of GPR120 in human and rat pancreas
