Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry

Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer
Full text linkThis thesis examines the way Wang Meng has developed as a writer from the 1950s to the 1990s in the context of New China's political and literary background. It looks at the compromises he was forced to make between his political beliefs in the Communist Party and his chosen role as a professional writer. After his disastrous early foray into what was deemed to be unacceptable political criticism with The Young Newcomer in the Organisation Department in the 1950s, when the opportunity came to start publishing again in the late 1970s he was boldly innovative in style, helping to transform New Period literature, but conservative in content, sticking to politically acceptable topics. It was only with Hard Porridge in 1989 that he ventured again, and very successfully, into political comment. There is no outstanding leading writer in contemporary China, but Wang Meng is a leading contender for the title
Scleromitrion diffusum (Willd.) R. J. Wang Inhibits Gastric Cancer via ERBB2/ERBB3/PI3K/AKT Pathway
No full textBackground/Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the anticarcinogenic potential of Scleromitrion diffusum (Willd.) R. J. Wang (SD) extracts in vitro, along with exploring the underlying compatibility mechanisms.
Materials and Methods: Scleromitrion diffusum (Willd.) R. J. Wang extract was prepared and gastric cancer (GC) cells were treated to detect the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50)/proliferation and migration/invasion by MTS method and transwell assay. The compatibility mechanisms of SD were analyzed by systems pharmacology strategy, combined with cellular experimental validation.
Results: Scleromitrion diffusum (Willd.) R. J. Wang extract showed inhibitory ability on the proliferation of the GC cell lines dose- and time-dependently. A total of 3 active ingredients are involved in anti-gastric cancer effects of SD, based on the top 50 pathways. The “herb-composition-target-pathway” network showed the multi-target and multi-pathway characteristics of SD. There were 52 related targets shared by SD and GC. The cellular experiments supported that SD significantly reduced ERBB2 and ERBB3 expression levels in GC cells. The overexpression of ERBB2 or ERBB3 partially offset the anti-tumor effects of SD.
Conclusion: Scleromitrion diffusum (Willd.) R. J. Wang inhibited gastric cancer growth and metastasis in vitro, which may be related to the inhibition of the ERBB2/ERBB3/PI3K/AKT pathway

Akanthomyces zaquensis Y. H. Wang, W. J. Wang, Ke Wang, C. H. Dong, J. R. Hao, P. M. Kirk & Y. J. Yao, sp. nov.
No full textAkanthomyces zaquensis Y.H. Wang, W.J. Wang, Ke Wang, C.H. Dong, J.R. Hao, P.M. Kirk & Y.J. Yao, sp. nov. (Figs. 2–4) Fungal Names registration: FN570746. Etymology:— zaquensis, referring to the collecting site near the Za Qu River. Colonies on PDA were rapidly growing, attaining a diameter of 25–28 mm and 30–34 mm within 10 days at 20 and 25 ºC, respectively, round, flat, white. Reverse primrose to pale yellow. Colonies on MEA and PCA attained a diameter of 23–28 mm and 28–31 mm within 10 days at 20 and 25ºC, respectively, round, flat, white. Reverse pale yellow (FIGURE 2). The vegetative hyphae on PDA medium were delicate, hyaline, smooth-walled, 0.4–2.0 μm wide. Phialides occurring directly on the aerial hyphae; simple, 8.0–40.0 µm long, rarely over 100 µm, 0.6–1.2 µm at the base, tapering to about 0.4 µm at the tips. The conidia produced on the three media were one-celled, smooth-walled, hyaline; (1.5–)3.0–6.0(–7.0) × 0.5–1.2(–1.5) µm; adhering in heads at the apex of the phialides, long-ellipsoidal to almost cylindrical (FIGURE 3). The optimum temperature for growth was 5–37 ºC on three media (17–34 mm diameter in 10 d at 15–30 ºC), little growth (usually less than 10 mm diameter) at ≤10 ºC, no growth at ≥ 33 ºC (FIGURE 4). Notes: Akanthomyces zaquensis was isolated from O. sinensis. The species differed from A. lecanii by having bigger conidia. Furthermore, A. zaquensis produced single and lanceolate or narrowly lageniform phialides directly from the aerial hypha. Sexual state:—Unknown. Holotype:— CHINA.
