The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973
No full textThis thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role

COMPARISON OF CHROMOSOMAL IMBALANCES DETECTED BY COMPARATIVE GENOMIC HYBRIDIZATION IN ARSENIC-INDUCED AND NON-ARSENIC-INDUCED TRANSITIONAL CELL CARCINOMA
No full textIn order to compare the chromosomal imbalances between
arsenic-induced and non-arsenic-induced TCC, we analyzed 24
arsenic-induced and 25 non-arsenic-induced TCC by comparative
genomic hybridization. More arsenic-induced TCCs had at least one
chromosomal imbalance (100%) than non-arsenic- induced TCCs (70%).
The number of chromosomal imbalances (mean + standard error) was
also significantly higher in the arsenic- induced TCCs (5.7+0.6) than
non-arsenic-induced TCCs (2.9+0.5). Arsenic exposure is significantly
associated with an increased number of chromosomal imbalances after
adjustment for cigarette smoking and grade and stage of TCCs in the
multiple linear regression analysis. We also found a significantly higher
frequency of chromosome gains at 1p12-13, 3q24-25, 4q12-13, 7q112
and 8q22 in arsenic-induced TCCs than in non-arsenic-induced ones. In
addition, the frequency of chromosome losses in 16p132-p133 and
17p13 was also significantly higher in arsenic-induced TCCs than non-arsenic-induced ones
