“One Belt One Road”Initiative and China and the Middle East Media Exchanges

The proposal of the“One Belt One Road”initiative has brought historic opportunities for media exchanges between China and the Middle East,and has also put forward higher requirements for media cooperation between the two sides.At present,media exchanges between China and the Middle East have made positive progress,but there are still some problems.To do a good job in media exchange and cooperation between China and the Middle East,we should start with the implementation and improvement of existing mechanisms,the transformation of media working methods and concepts,the broadening of communication channels,the concern for interests,and the strengthening of personnel training,so as to continuously improve the effectiveness of media exchange and cooperation between the two sides and promote the healthy development of bilateral relations.

Thermal Diversities of Two Na^+/H^+ Exchanges in Guinea Pig Red Cells

Objective\ To test the effect of hypothermia on Na+/H+ exchange, activated by shrinkage and cytoplasmic acidosis. Method\ Amiloride-sensitive Na+ influx in guinea pig red cells was traced with isotope 22Na and intracellular Na+ concentration was measured by emission flame photometry. Result\ Amiloride-sensitive Na+ influx decreased linearly as a function of temperatures (about 37℃) in shrunken cells, but increased in acidified cells. The up-regulation of acid-induced Na+/H+ exchange by elevated temperature was enhanced by hypo-osmolarity. Less sensitivity of intracellular H+ site at 41℃ may be the mechanism for the inhibition of shrinkage-induced Na+/H+ exchange by elevated temperature. Heating-mediated explosive increase in the activity of acid-induced Na+/H+ exchange may be due to enhanced extracellular Na+ sensitivity and lower intracellular pH caused by acidic metabolites. Acid-induced Na+/H+ ewxchange contributes to cytoplasmic Na+ accumulation. Conclusion\ These two modes of Na+/H+ exchange with different response to elevated temperature may play different roles in the cellular pathogenesis of heatstroke.

Nanjing’s Cultural Exchanges with Foreign Countries

AS an ancient capital city,Nanj-ing has a long history of cul-tural exchanges with foreigncountries.The ruler of the Kingdom ofEastern Wu(222-280 A.D.)sent en-voys to over 100 states in Hainan andSoutheast Asian islands.Some of thestates paid return visits.For instance,in243 the ruler of Funan(present-dayCambodia)sent a musical group to theEastern Wu King,who then built aFunan Music Hall for court maids tolearn Funan music and dances.Dur-ing the Southem Dynasties(420-589A.D.)exchanges with foreign countriesincreased and Funan sent envoysto Jianye and Jiankang(present-dayNanjing)over 30 times.Ancient SriLanka,which was known as the LionState in ancient China,Tianzhu(an-cient India).Persia,the Korean Penin-
