TAVR for Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis with LVOT Stenosis: A Case Report
No full textQing Zhang, Yao Xu, Hao Wang, Xuelian Pang, Qingfeng Meng Department of Cardiology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Qingdao, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Xuelian Pang; Qingfeng Meng, Email [email protected]; [email protected]: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been recently indicated for the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis in all risk profiles. At present, TAVR has become mature at home and abroad, but the relevant experience is deficient in the treatment of aortic valve stenosis with outflow tract stenosis. One case of a high-risk surgical patient was included in this paper who suffered from severe aortic valve stenosis with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) stenosis. In this case, TAVR was performed with deep implantation of a new valve and both aortic valve stenosis and LVOT stenosis were treated through a single TAVR procedure. This case highlights the vital role of such treatment in dealing with both aortic valve stenosis and LVOT stenosis through a single TAVR procedure, thus providing valuable information for similar cases.Keywords: severe aortic valve stenosis, left ventricular outflow tract, LVOT, stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, TAV
Migrant workers, collaborative research and spatial pressures : an interview with Meng Yue
No full textIn July last year I had the opportunity to interview Meng Yue, literary scholar and author of Shanghai and the Edges of Empire (2006). Meng Yue has been collaborating with Toronto-based architect and artist Adrian Blackwell for a number of years, with their students from literature and architecture undertaking highly interesting research on the peripheral zones of Beijing. Questions of peri-urban food production, land use, resource distribution and the multiplication of labour skills have framed these investigations. The interview below is extracted from a considerably longer discussion we had in Beijing during the late summer of 2007, half of which was lost to the faulty battery of an ipod (the rest remains to be transcribed from video…)
Implementing the Emerging Mobile Technologies in Facilitating Mobile Exam System
No full textBecause of the wide possession of the handheld mobile devices, the application of the mobile technologies in enhancing learning activities attracts much research interest. This investigation aims at implementing students faced mobile technologies into test and exam to simplify the exam management and performance assessment. The research work focuses on the aspects of mobile device and platform oriented design, light-weight and efficient application, fast and convenient question navigation, and performance assessment, etc. In order to conduct an appropriate information service to the heterogeneous resource limited devices, the context-aware service notion is introduced to the system design. The user profile and device information are modeled and managed efficiently according to the data characteristics and their interrelationships for information adaptation. The assessment module can provide statistical results for learning performance analysis. A prototype system named Mobile Exam System (MES) is implemented on Apple iOS and Google Android OS in the current stage. Based on the work finished, some mobile oriented functions based on promising mobile technologies are suggested for next stages. The test and analysis demonstrate that the implementation of latest mobile technologies into exam is a successful attempt toward pervasive mobile learning and assessment

Sequels to honglou meng : how gu taiqing continues the story in honglou meng ying
No full textAfter Honglou meng (1791) was published, a number of sequels appeared that redefined its major characters, rewrote its ending, and continued the story of life within the two Jia households. One of these was Honglou meng ying (1877), by female poet, Gu Taiqing. Despite its status as the earliest extant novel written by a woman, few studies have been devoted to examining it. Building on research that Ellen Widmer has provided on Gu Taiqing and her work, including Honglou meng ying, I will explore the novel further in terms of its relationship to the parent work and to other sequels written by men, and also examine it on its own terms as a literary work. Some of the main questions that I will address include: how does it compare to other sequels to Honglou meng? How does Gu Taiqing’s continuation of Honglou meng depart from the parent novel? I have organized my discussion by providing an introduction to Gu Taiqing, whilst providing contextual information about women’s education, their relationship to fiction, and the impact of Honglou meng. Chapter One will deal with the broad issue of sequels in the Chinese context, the popularity of writing sequels during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and conclude with some observations about Honglou meng sequels in particular. The second chapter will deal exclusively with Gu Taiqing’s Honglou meng ying, evaluating it in terms of how the author continues the parent work, how she refashions its characters and themes, and how her sequel reflects her own unique concerns (which may not have been part of the original parent work). Finally, I will conclude with some remarks about Honglou meng ying in terms of its relation to sequel writing in late imperial China and its contribution to our understanding of women’s reading and writing in the final years of the Qing dynasty.Arts, Faculty ofAsian Studies, Department ofGraduat

On Meng Sen's teaching and lecture notes of Ming and Qing history at Peking University during the 1930s
No full textWhile teaching the histories of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Meng Sen (1869-1937), developed three textbooks in the 1930s: Lecture Notes on the Ming History (.... Mingshi jiangyi), Lecture Notes on the Qing History (.... Qingshi jiangyi), and Lecture Notes on the History of the Founding of the Manchu State (....... Manzhou kaiguo shi jiangyi). In these book titles, the term " history" refers specifically to "standard history."In tracing Meng Sen's original intention in producing these textbooks, all three works suggest the author's desire to write history. He wrote Lecture Notes on the Ming History to prepare a future revision of the History of the Ming (.. Mingshi); similarly he wrote Lecture Notes on the Qing History and Lecture Notes on the History of the Founding of the Manchu State with the intention to revise the Draft History of the Qing (... Qingshi gao). Meng Sen summarized Sima Guang's (..., 1019-86) view of history as " imitating the good and avoiding the bad," which he believed represented the "essential meaning of history." Meng followed Sima Guang's model in compiling the Lecture Notes on the Ming History and Lecture Notes on the Qing History, as shown in their style and format. By comparison, his writing of the Lecture Notes on the History of the Founding of the Manchu State attempted to merge the traditional annals-biographic style with narrative history from the West, or to pour old wine into a new bottle. Meng Sen presented his innovative efforts at Peking University, introducing young scholars to standards for history writing, and doing his utmost to guide and encourage his students; some of whom became noted scholars in the study of Ming and Qing histories.A&HCIARTICLE2119-1545
