  • Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords
    Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords Yimin Lu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Yimin Lu (2009) ii Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords Yimin Lu, Ph. D Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto, 2009 Abstract Warriors are a less visible topic in the study of imperial China. They did not write history, but they made new history by destroying the old. The fall of the first enduring Chinese empire, the Han, collides with the rise of its last warriors known as the “talons and fangs.” Despite some classical or deceptive myths like the Chinese ideal of bloodless victories and a culture without soldiers, the talons and fangs of the Eastern Han warlords demonstrated the full potential of military prestige in a Confucian hierarchy, the bloodcurdling reality of dynastic rivalry, as well as a romantic tradition infatuated with individual heroism. iii Table of Content： Introduction (1-22) Chapter One (23-68) The Age of Warlords 1.

  • History of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Ancient China: a Narrative Review Yang Yu, Xiaojie Liu, Li Juan Wang, Sudena Wang and Hushan Ao*
    Yu et al. Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery (2020) 15:50 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13019-020-1086-5 REVIEW Open Access History of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in ancient China: a narrative review Yang Yu, Xiaojie Liu, Li Juan Wang, Sudena Wang and Hushan Ao* Abstract Modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) comprises an open airway, artificial ventilation, chest compressions and, if necessary, defibrillation. CPR has been intensively studied and tested to perfect an integrated and effective resuscitation system in the West. However, CPR efforts in China has been understudied and underreported. CPR has been performed for more than 2000 years in China. As early as the third century BC, a Chinese doctor named Zhongjing Zhang presented a detailed program to save patients from suicide by hanging in the book entitled “Synopsis of the Golden Chamber”. Dr. Zhang proposed “not only to save the body, but also to save the spirit”, which remains a guiding principle in modern resuscitation: to not only ensure cardiopulmonary recovery but also preserve the brain function. We aim to review and summarize efforts of CPR in China from a historic point of view.

Email: [email protected]. Highlights Compared with donepezil, the long-term treatment of kidney-nourishing (the change of pathological state of kidney deficiency by means of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment and so on) formula in TCM can significantly improve the Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale score and the activities of daily living score. Traditionality The description of dementia-related symptoms can be found in historical book entitled Zuo Zhuan (The Spring and Autumn Annals) (722 B.C.E.–468 B.C.E.) in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and the name of Chidai was first proposed by Sun Simiao in Huatuo Shenyi Mizhuan (Biography of Hua Tuo's Medicine) (618 B.C.E.–907 C.E.), a Chinese medicine classical book published in the Tang Dynasty. The Chinese medicine classical book entitled Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic) (221 B.C.E.–220 C.E.) provides a theoretical basis for establishing a link between kidney and dementia. Therefore, nourishing kidney has become an important treatment for dementia by TCM clinicians nowadays.
