  • Let's Experience a Special Romance in This Lovely Multicultural Vicinity
    The Marriage of East and West in St. Anthony’s Parish Let’s experience a special romance in this lovely multicultural vicinity where you’ll see beautiful urban space with charming Portuguese and Chinese buildings and their enchanting stories. Attractions to explore: 1. Ruins of St. Paul’s After the completion of St. Paul’s Church, it caught fires in 1595 and 1601 respectively. Afterwards, the Jesuits re- constructed the Church in 1602 and was completed in 1644. The re-constructed Church was massive in scale, with a grand façade full of design details. From the bottom the façade has five tiers. A Catholic saint is engraved in each of four tabernacles between columns of the second tier. The walls are covered with bas-reliefs in various patterns, such as chrysanthemum and peony, moon, sun as well as Chinese inscriptions. The whole façade has been acknowledged as a perfect fusion of western and eastern cultures. In 1835, the Church was destroyed by fire. The façade which was left after the fire becomes the world famous monument – the Ruins of St. Paul’s. At the back of the façade is the Museum of Sacred Art and Crypt. Opening hours: Museum of Sacred Art and Crypt 09:00 – 18:00, last admission at 17:30, closed on Tuesdays after 14:00, open during public holidays. Admission: Free 2 Section of Old City Wall This surviving segment of the city’s defence structures is a remnant of an early Portuguese defensive wall system around their port settlements. The construction of the Wall was strictly forbidden in the early Ming Dynasty and thus it was built and then demolished for a couple of times.

    Characterization of metabolome-wide biomarkers associated with kidney function in the Chinese population Hongquan Peng ( [email protected] ) Kiang Wu Hospital Xun Liu The Third Aliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University Chi wa Ao Ieong Kiang Wu Hospital Tao Tao Kiang Wu Hospital Tsung yang Tsai Kiang Wu Hospital Ngai kam Leong Kiang Wu Hospital hao I Cheang Kiang Wu Hospital Zhi Liu University of Macau Peijia Liu The Third Aliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University Research Article Keywords: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), glomerular ltration rate (GFR), creatinine, biomarker, plasma clearance rate, metabolome, metabolites Posted Date: April 12th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-407149/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem. Identifying sensitive ltration biomarkers is a key diagnostic value contributing to an understanding of CKD at the molecular level. A metabolomics study indicated a snapshot of the biochemical activity of the human body at a particular time in the progression of CKD. This metabolome-wide biomarker study veried whether plasma or serum metabolite proles are signicantly different in CKD at various stages and characterized potential markers to assess kidney function in the Chinese population. Methods: An analysis of plasma and serum metabolites using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was performed on 198 participants (53 serum samples and 145 plasma samples) based on their measured GFR (by iohexol plasma clearance). Participants started recruiting in late 2019, and untargeted metabolomics assays (N ¼ 214) were conducted at the Calibra-Metabolon Joint Laboratory (Hangzhou, China) using Metabolon's HD4 Discovery untargeted metabolomics platform in early 2021.

  • The Historic Monuments of Macau
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1110.pdf UNESCO Region: ASIA AND THE PACIFIC __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: The Historic Centre of Macao DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 15th July 2005 STATE PARTY: CHINA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Decisions of the 29th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (ii): The strategic location of Macao on the Chinese territory, and the special relationship established between the Chinese and Portuguese authorities favoured an important interchange of human values in the various fields of culture, sciences, technology, art and architecture over several centuries. Criterion (iii): Macao bears a unique testimony to the first and longest-lasting encounter between the West and China. From the 16th to the 20th centuries, it was the focal point for traders and missionaries, and the different fields of learning. The impact of this encounter can be traced in the fusion of different cultures that characterise the historic core zone of Macao. Criterion (iv): Macao represents an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble that illustrates the development of the encounter between the Western and Chinese civilisations over some four and half centuries, represented in the historical route, with a series of urban spaces and architectural ensembles, that links the ancient Chinese port with the Portuguese city. Criterion (vi): Macao has been associated with the exchange of a variety of cultural, spiritual, scientific and technical influences between the Western and Chinese civilisations. These ideas directly motivated the introduction of crucial changes in China, ultimately ending the era of imperial feudal system and establishing the modern republic.
