Artemisinin （or Qinghaosu in Chinese） is isolated from a plant called sweet wormwood （Artemisia annua; or Qinghao in Chi- nese） which has been used as an antipyretic remedy for more than 1500 years in China. Artemisinin has impressive parasiticidal properties in vitro and in vivo, and is now one of the most important class of antimalarial agents [2, 3]. ATO is a common, naturally occurring substance which had been used in China for a long time as a therapeutic agent for some severe diseases with the ancient philosophy of ＇treating an evil with a toxic＇ [4]. In 1990s, ATO was shown to be able to cause partial differentiation at low dose and apoptosis at high concentration of acute promyelocytic leukemia （APL） cells [5], and induce complete remission in 90% of patients with relapsed or refractory APL [6-8]. These paradigms suggest that TCM is the treasure house not only for the Chinese people, but also for the whole human beings. It is our responsibility to develop evidence-based therapeutic approaches from TCM for diseases with poor prognosis.展开更多

Based on the theory of new economy geography, this paper investigates the relationship between infrastructure construction and market segregation using the Spatial Panel Dubin Model(SPDM) based on China's interprovincial panel data of 1993-2012. As shown by empirical result, the beggar-thyneighbor problem existed persistently within China, infrastructure construction helped remove market segregation and should be enhanced, infrastructure construction had heterogeneous spatial spillover effects across periods, and market segregation behaviors were heterogeneous across regions or localities. China should enhance infrastructure to narrow regional gaps and step up cooperation among investors across regions to reduce the adverse impact of geographical boundary, and create modern service-based local governments, allowing the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation.展开更多
