  • A Day in the Life of the Vice-Chancellor
    A Day in the Life of the Vice-Chancellor rofessor Joseph J.Y. Sung has been Vice-Chancellor of CUHK for several months, and so far, a hectic schedule is the norm rather Pthan the exception. One day in November 2010, he treated patients, taught students, gave lectures, received University guests, officiated at a ceremony, and attended a student gathering. From dawn to dusk, he shifted between his many roles, but always with zeal and composure. 8:15 am. The Vice-Chancellor cast a towering shadow at the entrance to the CUHK-PWH Medical Centre in the morning light, his doctor’s coat a reminder of the role by which Hong Kong first knew him. He had not just arrived. He had been at the Prince of Wales Hospital since 7:30 am for a meeting. He was scheduled to see patients at the medical centre, something he said he would continue to do before taking up the vice-chancellorship. ‘Good morning, Vice-Chancellor. How are you? You seem so much busier than when you were a professor. Thanks for making time to see me.’—A typical greeting as such is a valid proof of patients’ awareness of the many hats the doctor is wearing. Two Year 5 medical students joined Sung at the clinic. He spoke to the patient in Cantonese and explained the condition to the students in English. At one point, he spent eight minutes explaining the pros and cons of two drugs, as well as the correct dosage and the criteria for choosing one over the other.

  • Academic Freedom in Hong Kong Since 2015: Between Two Systems
    Academic Freedom in Hong Kong since 2015: Between Two Systems Kevin Carrico January 2018 Hong Kong Watch Academic Freedom in Hong Kong 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The state of academic freedom in Hong Kong is a microcosm of the state of “one country, two systems” as a whole. It is alive, and generally well, but only due to constant public vigilance against growing threats. Hong Kong’s students and scholars played a central role in the 2014 Occupy protests for political reform. As a result, since early 2015, a growing top-down backlash has attempted to limit academic freedom and bring academia under the authorities’ control. This post-Occupy retribution is manifested in the following trends: • Controversial academic figures have been removed from their posts, seen promotions blocked, or faced extra-legal campaigns to pressure their removal. These were all driven by political motivations. • State-appointed and politically connected figures have governed universities in a manner divorced from the will of students and faculty. • There is a growing push to place limits on freedom of speech, without any legal basis. Although academic work in Hong Kong remains considerably freer than in the rest of the People’s Republic of China, these trends suggest that elements of academic control in place elsewhere in China are gradually being incorporated into the Hong Kong system, threatening the city’s academic freedom and thus its universities’ reputations. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS • Educators must directly and openly confront “taboo” topics in Hong Kong, or run the risk of enabling a censorship regime that will continually expand, swallowing up new topics as forbidden.

  • Digestive Diseases 063 LI KA SHING INSTITUTE of HEALTH SCIENCES PROGRESS REPORT 2016
    Appendix: Digestive Diseases 063 LI KA SHING INSTITUTE OF HEALTH SCIENCES PROGRESS REPORT 2016 01 Research Progress Summary DIGESTIVE DISEASES A. Molecular pathogenesis 1. Using a genome-wide shRNA screen in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells with mutations in APC and KRAS, the team identified a novel oncogenic candidate SLC25A22. SLC25A22 plays an important role in tumour metabolism in KRAS-mutant CRC by promoting biosynthesis of the nonessential amino acid aspartate. SLC25A22 protein and mRNA levels were independent prognostic markers associated with poor survival in KRAS-mutant CRC patients. 2. Whole genome sequencing has identified solute carrier family 12 member 5 (SLC12A5) as a novel amplification gene in colorectal cancer. SLC12A5 possessed oncogenic properties by promoting tumour proliferation and metastasis, and inhibiting cell apoptosis. SLC12A5 protein overexpression was found to be an independent prognostic factor associated with shortened survival in colorectal cancer patients. 3. Using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation array, the team identified Carbonic Anhydrase 4 (CA4) as a novel tumour suppressor gene silenced in colorectal cancer through promoter methylation. CA4 inhibited Wnt signalling pathway via WTAP–WT1–TBL1 axis, thereby suppressing colorectal cancer development. The team also found that methylation status of CA4 may serve as an independent biomarker for the recurrence of CRC. 4. Sequencing of fimH gene of Escherichia coli (E. coli) leads to the identification of α-hemolysin-positive (hly+) type 1 E.coli that contributes to adenomagenesis and CRC in human females. Hly+ type 1-E. coli were more prevalent in stools from females with adenoma and CRC and their abundance was correlated with poor survival. Feeding hly+ type 1-E.
