The berry fruits are also capable of modulating signaling pathways involved in inflammation, cell survival, neurotransmission and enhancing neuroplasticity. The neuroprotective effects of berry fruits on neurodegenerative diseases are related to phytochemicals such as anthocyanin, caffeic acid, catechin, quercetin, kaempferol and tannin. In this review, we made an attempt to clearly describe the beneficial effects of various types of berries as promising neuroprotective agents.展开更多

Although he received public acclaim chiefly for his longer works, such as The Sound and the Fury, Sartoris, and Light in August, Faulkner found himself again and again writing short stories. In "Barn Burning," which appeared in 1938, he created the seed story of the whole Snopes trilogy that was to constitute his last great creative accomplishment. This story not only looks forward to the Snopes stories, but also shares some of the themes recurring in the early parts of the Yoknapatawpha saga—the legendary matrix in which Faul-展开更多

By 1994, the number of foreign-funded enterprises approved by the city exceeded 10, 000, the foreign capital actually used amounted to US $ 1.9 billion, and exports totalled US $ 2.1 billion, representing three major breakthroughs. In 1994, 2, 675 foreign-funded enterprises were approved, involving展开更多

In other words, all the five religions in China have believers here. In particular, there are 16 villages with altogether 10,000 Catholics living in compact communties. It so happens that most religious people live in mountainous or hilly areas in the district, where adverse natural conditions once rendered them poor.展开更多
