  • Transformation of Health Care in the People's Republic of China Meei-Shia Chen
    26 The Great Reversal: Transformation of Health Care in the People's Republic of China Meei-shia Chen On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) from the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tienanmen) of its capital, Beijing. During the three decades after 1949, the PRC, under Mao's leadership, developed a central planning socialist system that emphasized public ownership and welfare, mass-based collectivism and egalitarianism, and de- emphasized the role of the market in the delivery of various services and products. But in 1978 Deng Xiaoping took over the leadership of China and set China onto a new course: the PRC has been undergoing dramatic market reform, privatizing formerly public systems, enterprises, and institutions, de- collectivizing rural communes, emphasizing individual responsibilities, and allowing an increase in social inequality (Hinton 1990; Leung 1994; Wong 1994; Weil 1996; MacFarquhar 1997; Meisner 1999). This political, economic, and social transformation was described as ``the great reversal'' by Hinton (Hinton 1990), the author of the classic, Fanshen: A Documentary of Revolution in a Chinese Village (Hinton 1966). During Mao's era, the PRC impressed the world by developing an innovative and successful health care system, with a great emphasis on preventive public health. This system included the development of the cooperative medical system; the use of barefoot doctors; the implementation of health programs through mass movements; the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine; and increased emphasis on the health of the rural population. How- ever, during the past two decades of market reform, the PRC transformed its health care system into a very different one.

  • The Web That Has No Weaver
    THE WEB THAT HAS NO WEAVER Understanding Chinese Medicine “The Web That Has No Weaver opens the great door of understanding to the profoundness of Chinese medicine.” —People’s Daily, Beijing, China “The Web That Has No Weaver with its manifold merits … is a successful introduction to Chinese medicine. We recommend it to our colleagues in China.” —Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China “Ted Kaptchuk’s book [has] something for practically everyone . Kaptchuk, himself an extraordinary combination of elements, is a thinker whose writing is more accessible than that of Joseph Needham or Manfred Porkert with no less scholarship. There is more here to think about, chew over, ponder or reflect upon than you are liable to find elsewhere. This may sound like a rave review: it is.” —Journal of Traditional Acupuncture “The Web That Has No Weaver is an encyclopedia of how to tell from the Eastern perspective ‘what is wrong.’” —Larry Dossey, author of Space, Time, and Medicine “Valuable as a compendium of traditional Chinese medical doctrine.” —Joseph Needham, author of Science and Civilization in China “The only approximation for authenticity is The Barefoot Doctor’s Manual, and this will take readers much further.” —The Kirkus Reviews “Kaptchuk has become a lyricist for the art of healing. And the more he tells us about traditional Chinese medicine, the more clearly we see the link between philosophy, art, and the physician’s craft.” —Houston Chronicle “Ted Kaptchuk’s book was inspirational in the development of my acupuncture practice and gave me a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

  • Association Between Dietary Patterns and Chronic Kidney Disease in a Middle-Aged Chinese Population
    Public Health Nutrition: 23(6), 1058–1066 doi:10.1017/S1368980019002805 Association between dietary patterns and chronic kidney disease in a middle-aged Chinese population Shan-Shan Xu1, Jun Hua2, Yi-Qian Huang3 and Long Shu4,* 1School of Medicine, Huainan Union University, Huainan, Anhui, People’s Republic of China: 2Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Huainan Eastern Hospital, Huainan, Anhui, People’s Republic of China: 3Department of Digestion, Zhejiang Hospital, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, People’s Republic of China: 4Department of Nutrition, Zhejiang Hospital, Xihu District, Hangzhou 310013, Zhejiang, People’s Republic of China Submitted 29 January 2019: Final revision received 14 June 2019: Accepted 19 June 2019: First published online 2 October 2019 Abstract Objective: To explore the relationship between dietary patterns and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Chinese adults aged 45–59 years. Design: Dietary data were collected using a semi-quantitative FFQ. Factor analysis was used to identify the major dietary patterns. Logistic regression models were applied to clarify the association between dietary patterns and the risk of CKD. Setting: The present study population was a part of the population-based Nutrition and Health Study performed in the city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, eastern China. Participants: A total of 2437 eligible participants (45–59 years) were enrolled in the present cross-sectional study from June 2015 to December 2016. Results: Three major dietary patterns were identified: ‘traditional southern Chinese’, ‘Western’ and ‘grains–vegetables’ patterns, collectively accounting for 25·6 % of variance in the diet. After adjustment for potential confounders, partici- pants in the highest quartile of the Western pattern had greater odds for CKD (OR = 1·83, 95 % CI 1·21, 2·81; P < 0·05) than those in the lowest quartile.

  • Viral Reflections
    2 Viral Reflections Placing China in Global Health Histories Mary Augusta Brazelton There are few narratives as compelling, or as contested, as the beginning of an epidemic. Where did it come from? How did it spread? The history of medicine suggests that these questions are usually impossible to answer definitively and often only reinforce harmful stigmas and misconceptions.1 Nonetheless, the origin of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has attracted a wealth of attention and speculation from scientists, government officials, and media commentators. The exact means of zoonotic transmission remain unclear, but there is a broad consensus that the condition caused by the virus, known as COVID-19, first appeared in Wuhan in late 2019. The role attributed to the government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in responding to the outbreak has varied greatly, ranging from accusations of negligence in allowing the virus to spread outside its borders to assertions of its success in controlling the outbreak through extensive quarantine and rapid resource mobilization. Distinct cultures and politics of science and medicine have contributed to strikingly variable national responses to this global crisis. In South Korea and Taiwan, epidemiologists have employed contact tracing, border surveillance, and increased dissemination of face masks. In the United States, federal authorities imposed barriers to early diagnostic testing, and President Donald Trump promoted 24 : THE PANDEMIC: PERSPECTIVES ON ASIA the drug hydroxychloroquine despite a lack of evidence for its therapeutic efficacy. Swedish officials have articulated the concept of herd immunity, in contrast to standard epidemiological usage, as a means by which the majority of a population might gain immunity to COVID-19 by contracting it.
