生命中的永恒旋律

人生旅途的每一站,音乐如影随形。它见证并陪伴着我们的每一个情感瞬间,成为我们快乐、悲伤与沉思时刻的真挚伙伴,并构筑起生命中不朽的声音记忆。1 Music is like a friend I can always count on,showing me the way and making me feel good.When I was a little girl,it would help me fall asleep with calm songs.As I grew up,the tunes my mom and dad loved filled our house,getting me to like old hits and learn about new ones.

The Collision of Individualism in Chinese and American Talent Shows——A Case Study of American Idol and Super Girls

Recently,American talent shows with its unique glamour and huge profit have attracted many Chinese TV stations to imitate.The process of imitation is essentially a collision of American and Chinese cultures.This study focuses on American Idol and Super Girls,discusses their different manifestations of individualism and analyzes the reasons behind it.The analysis shows that the differences of the two countries'cultural background contribute to the different manifestations of individualism.In a word,during the process of imitating American talent shows,the problems of Chinese talent shows indicate that American individualism has its positive as well as negative effects.Consequently,Chinese people should hold a critical attitude toward American individualism.

Thyroid carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation: Case presentation of a young man

Ectopic thymic tissue can be present in the thyroid gland and a carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation(CASTLE) may arise from such tissue. We are reported the case of a 26-year-old man with CASTLE, with cervical subcutaneous nodules relapse, who showed a good response to treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The problematic aspect of this case was the diagnosis; only on review were we able to make a final diagnosis. CASTLE is a very rare neoplasm. It is important to differentiate this cancer from others tumors such as primary or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck or squamous cell thyroid carcinoma, because the therapy and prognosis are different.Diagnosis is complicated and requires careful histological analysis(CD5- and P63-positive with presence of Hassall's corpuscles); unfortunately there is no gold standard treatment so, in this case, we administered a sandwich of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Gene body demethylation increases expression and is associated with self-pruning during grape genome duplication

A colchicine-induced autotetraploid grapevine exhibiting potentially valuable agronomic traits for grape production and breeding,including self-pruning,was identified.This study investigated DNA methylation variation and its role in gene expression during self-pruning in the autotetraploid grapevine.We used RNA-Seq to estimate differentially expressed genes between diploid and autotetraploid grapevine shoot tips.The genes showing increases in the autotetraploid were mainly related to stress response pathways,whereas those showing decreases in the autotetraploid were related to biological metabolism and biosynthesis.Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing was performed to produce single-base methylomes for the diploid and autotetraploid grapevines.Comparison between the methylomes revealed that they were conserved in CG and CHG contexts.In the autotetraploid grapevine,hypodifferentially methylated regions(DMRs)and hyper-DMRs in the gene body increased or decreased gene expression,respectively.Our results indicated that a hypo-DMR in the ACO1 gene body increased its expression and might promote self-pruning.This study reports that hypo-DMRs in the gene body increase gene expression in plants and reveals the mechanism underlying the changes in the modifications affecting gene expression during genome duplication.Overall,our results provide valuable information for understanding the relationships between DNA methylation,gene expression,and autotetraploid breeding in grape.

MECHANISM OF ACUPUNCTURE IN SUPPRESSING EPILEPTIC SEIZURES

Suppression of epileptic seizure byacupuncture was described early in the an-cient medical literature,and now this treat-ment is occasionally seen reported.The chiefadvantage of the acupuncture treatment isabsence of side-effects which antiepilepticdrugs usually have.Patients showing no re-sponse to drugs have been reported curedwhen treated by acupuncture.

ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT OF ACUTE STAGE PERIPHERAL FACIAL PARALYSIS

The use of electro-acupuncture in treatingperipheral facial paralysis during the acute stagehas been a controversial issue among acupunc-turists.Since 1970,100 cases of acute stage peri-pheral facial paralysis(1-10 days after onset)have been treated with electro-acupuncture witha curs rate of 84% and an effective rate of 100%,no cases showing aggravation of symptoms aftertreatment.Electro-acupuncture is therefore usefulin the treatment for acute stage peripheral facialparalysis.

Theoretical Proposal for a Planar Single-Layer Carbon That Shows a Potential in Superconductivity

Single-layer superconductors[1]have been the subject of considerable interests as they are ideal systems for the fundamental understanding of two-dimensional(2D)physics and for device applications.A few singlelayer superconductors are experimentally achieved(e.g.,FeSe,MoS2,and NbSe2[2-4]in the field where either charge doping or tensile strain is often required to promote the superconductivity.

MODELLING OF MECHANICAL MECHANISM OF CHROMATOGRAPHIC SYSTEM AND THEORETICAL EQUATIONS SHOWING DYNAMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHROMATOGRAPHY

A simple model of chromatographic mechanical mechanism is present, and then a scrics of theoretical chromatographic equations and fundamental Formulae are derived. These theoretical equations and formulae not only reserve thermodynamic characteristics in the current fundamental chromatographic formulae, but also introduce one or more kinetic parameter, so it is possible to make the macroscopic-control on the effect of kinetic characteristics on chromatographic system.

＂A＂ New Museum of Indonesian Batik： An Architectureof ＂Showing off＂

For the ＂A＂ New Museum of Indonesian Batik, Ivan Saputra was the architect winner of the Museum Design Competition in 2013. Preparation for the competition required architectural design guidelines, which were an important part of the terms of reference for the project. This paper aims to provide an overview of the issues surrounding the work involved in the collaboration work between the Indonesian government and multi-disciplinary participants to establish museum design guidelines for this competition. By articulating and elaborating the characteristics of several famous museums design in the world, by defining relevant architectural theories, and by exploring an in-depth analysis of ＂batik＂, which UNESCO designated as Intangible Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO in 2009, the architectural design guidelines were developed based onfindings revealedby inserting ＂batik＂ itself as the museum storyline into contemporary architecture. By referring to trans-disciplinary methods and concepts, then the process of batik making is potentially a kind of architectural ＂showing off＇ to expose the uniqueness of Indonesian batik as well as the Architecture-Event theory promoted by French philosopher Jacques Derrida.

Systems for Showing and Repurposing： A Second-Order Cybernetic Reflection on Some Cellular Automata Projects

Over the course of the past 70 years, the objectives of CA （cellular automata） research shifted from speculative and illustrative purposes without immediate goals outside of given implementations to the more utilitarian scientific and engineering objectives of simulating, controlling and predicting other phenomena. Looking back at our own 10-year history of CA related work, however, we recognize a generally inverse tendency from utilitarian objectives to finding more illustrative and speculative value. In this paper, we present a reflection on our own body of CA work, and we discuss the qualities of the various outcomes and insights we gained from a second-order cybernetic perspective. We argue that much of our own CA work may best be understood as creating machines for showing and for repurposing that allow their observers to gain new （second-order cybernetic） ways of seeing from interacting with them.

Opinions and attitudes toward targeted temperature management in the emergency department and intensive care unit in a developing country: a survey study

INTRODUCTION The past two decades have witnessed one of the most contentious scientific debates in the field of temperature management after cardiac arrest in adults.It started in 2002,following the publication of two groundbreaking trials showing lower mortality rates and improved neurologic recovery with the use of active cooling.[1,2]International recommendations advocate active cooling in the range of 32–34℃for comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).[3,4]The year2013 marked the tipping point with the release of the TTM 1 trial.
