The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
No full textThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour
DataSheet_1_A Chinese Prescription Yu-Ping-Feng-San Administered in Remission Restores Bronchial Epithelial Barrier to Inhibit House Dust Mite-Induced Asthma Recurrence.pdf
No full textClinically, the treatments against asthma like β2 agonist focus on controlling the symptoms rather than inhibiting recurrence radically. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of a potent Chinese prescription Yu-Ping-Feng-San (YPFS) against asthma recurrence. We here established an optimized house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma recurrence mice model with typical asthmatic responses such as significantly augmented airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), elevated serum IgE, pulmonary type 2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 levels, pathological changes including thickening bronchial wall, inflammatory infiltration of lung tissue, etc. Moreover, all typical asthmatic pathological features were prominently alleviated by YPFS applied during remission phase ahead of second elicitation, which was even more effective than three different types of medications dexamethasone, montelukast and salbutamol, which were commonly applied in clinical practice, administered during recurrence phase. Besides, we found that desmoglein 1 (DSG1) remained deficient when asthmatic responses regressed whereas tight junction (TJ) claudin 1 (CLDN1) or adherin junction (AJ) E-cadherin restored spontaneously. In vitro, DSG1 interference resulted in increased thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) secretion, and epithelial barrier compromise evidenced by significantly elevated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and increased 4-kDa FITC-dextran influx. YPFS could downregulate TSLP production and restore HDM-induced DSG1 deficiency and barrier destruction, which was further reversed by shDSG1. Collectively, administration of YPFS in remission prominently alleviated HDM-induced asthma relapse by restoring DSG1 and decreasing TSLP overexpression, which might be the key factors contributing to chronic asthma relapse. Our data not only demonstrated the pivotal role of DSG1 in asthma pathogenesis, but also provided a novel and potent therapeutic strategy against chronic asthma.</p
Effects of Yu-Ping-Feng polysaccharides on animal growth performance and immune function: a review
No full textYu-Ping-Feng polysaccharides (YPF-P) is the primary component of Yu-Ping-Feng San (YPF-S) medicine prescription, which consists of three polysaccharides from Astragalus Membranaceus polysaccharide (AM-P), Atractylodes Macrocephala polysaccharide (AM-P), and Saposhnikovia Divaricata polysaccharide (SD-P). The use of Yu-Ping-Feng polysaccharides dates back to the Yuan Dynasty when Yilin Wei first utilized it. The remedy is included in “Effective Formulae Handed Down for Generations” and “The Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China.” Yu-Ping-Feng polysaccharides is known to promote growth and enhance the body’s immune function in animals. As such, it has promising application prospects in animal husbandry. This review mainly introduces the main components and characteristics of Yu-Ping-Feng polysaccharides, its effects on animal production, and its impact on animal immune function. Additionally, this paper offers a preliminary discussion on the development and utilization of Yu-Ping-Feng polysaccharides, laying the foundation for further research and application. This review may also provide insight and reference for the development of the farming industry, reducing production costs and improving productivity

DataSheet1_Yu-Ping-Feng Formula Ameliorates Alveolar-Capillary Barrier Injury Induced by Exhausted-Exercise via Regulation of Cytoskeleton.pdf
No full textBackground: Yu-ping-feng powder (YPF) is a compound traditional Chinese medicine extensively used in China for respiratory diseases. However, the role of YPF in alveolar-capillary barrier dysfunction remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect and potential mechanism of YPF on alveolar-capillary barrier injury induced by exhausted exercise.Methods: Male Sprague–Dawley rats were used to establish an exhausted-exercise model by using a motorized rodent treadmill. YPF at doses of 2.18 g/kg was administrated by gavage before exercise training for 10 consecutive days. Food intake-weight/body weight, blood gas analysis, lung water percent content, BALF protein concentration, morphological observation, quantitative proteomics, real-time PCR, and Western blot were performed. A rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell line (PMVEC) subjected to hypoxia was applied for assessing the related mechanism.Results: YPF attenuated the decrease of food intake weight/body weight, improved lung swelling and hemorrhage, alleviated the increase of lung water percent content and BALF protein concentration, and inhibited the impairment of lung morphology. In addition, YPF increased the expression of claudin 3, claudin 18, occludin, VE-cadherin, and β-catenin, attenuated the epithelial and endothelial hyperpermeability in vivo and/or in vitro, and the stress fiber formation in PMVECs after hypoxia. Quantitative proteomics discovered that the effect of YPF implicated the Siah2-ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway, Gng12-PAK1-MLCK, and RhoA/ROCK, which was further confirmed by Western blot. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD032737.Conclusion: YPF ameliorated alveolar-capillary barrier injury induced by exhausted exercise, which is accounted for at least partly by the regulation of cytoskeleton.</p
The Poetry of Ping-Pong
No full textIn this chapter, the author looks at the poetry of Ping-Pong, his favorite sport. According to Marty Reisman, the game of Ping-Pong died in Bombay, India, in 1952. Reisman, nicknamed “The Needle,” was favored to win the World Table Tennis Championship that day. The author says he has always loved Ping-Pong because you can get into a rhythm, hit the ball back and forth across the net for hours, with any racquet, and simply talk. Ping-Pong, like poetry, is a players' sport, not ideal for spectators. Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor of The New Yorker, claims that there is palpable humor in the game. With Ping-Pong, the author insists that we are all capable of attuning ourselves to the hidden life of sports, a relationship that is about kinesthesia and embodiment.</p
