Instead of only enumerating from the structural perspective, the author illustrated the function of the paratextual epigraph with due attention to the connection between epigraph and the artistic techniques as well as the theme of the novel. It was found that paratextual epigraph bears four artistic functions: foreshadowing, creating satire, and creating metaphor. It is suggested that further study could foreground the importance of paratextual epigraph, in order to have a better understanding of the novel.展开更多

Now in her late 60s, the woman in Shandong Province, eastern China, has suffered an unknown pain in her head since young. She is fortunate in that for the past 20 years, a pharmaceutical company in Jinan, the provincial capital, has done everything it can to relieve her of the pain. Believe it or not, the Dongfeng (meaning East Wind) Pharmaceutical Factory has been producing a "miracle" medicine just for one patient, for Xi, who lives in a mountainous village on the suburbs of Tai’an City, in total disregard of the huge cost involved and the loss thus incurred.展开更多

Methods: Cognitive function was assessed using a 4-item instrument screening for dementia. Each item was scaled from 1 to 4. The Katz Index was used to Participants (N = 680) were asked to return the completed questionnaire in the sealed envelope provided. The study received approval from the human subject’s ethics committee at Osaka University. Results and Conclusion: Participants’ mean age was 78.2 ± 6.5 years old. The age range of participants was 65 to 97 years old. Associations were not statistically significant between cognitive function and family structure. However, associations were significant for ADL items involving excretory failure (OR = 3.5, p = 0.000 in 2004, OR = 2.9, p = 0.000 in 2005;P < 0.05) using a logistic regression analysis adjusted for age. Therefore, we recommend that nurses work to educate the public about treatment-adjusted dementia in the community, teaching family members or caretakers to observe the ADL of the elderly, being watchful for unusual excretory habits, extra clothes, or the smell of elderly persons’ dirty clothing.展开更多

Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of stimulation of antiestrogens and time of hCG administration on the success of IUI in relation to the age of women. During the period between 2008 and 2012, we performed a total number of 793 IUI. Patients were prepared for IUI in the natural cycle and stimulation with antiestrogens (clomiphene citrate-CC). Ovulation was induced by hCG (Ovitrelle) 40 hours before IUI or immediately after the procedure. Sperm was processed through density gradients. The average success rate of IUI was 10.2% of pregnant women per cycle. Significantly the highest number of pregnant women 16.3% was women with a diagnosis of anovulation. Significantly the lowest success rate of IUI was at the immunological cause of infertility and endometriosis. There was no evidence of age dependence for women on the success of IUI. Stimulation of CC did not significantly increase the chance of becoming pregnant. There was also no statistically significant difference in hCG before and after IUI pregnancy success. The most important group of women for whom IUI is a suitable form of assisted reproduction consists of patients of 35 years old with anovulation cause of sterility. Those patients with an immunological cause of infertility and endometriosis have significantly lower chances of conceiving after IUI and it is preferable for them to choose other techniques of assisted reproduction and embryo transfer.展开更多
