We found that there is a discrepancy between different regions＇ labor resources and their stages＇ of economic development. In central and western regions, the average quality of labor is significantly higher than in eastern regions, but labor force utilization is less efficient. Slow in economic growth and laggard in industrial upgrading, central and western regions have failed to provide their high-quality labor forces with adequate and suitable job opportunities, leading to the discrepancy between labor resource quality and economic development. Resolving this discrepancy might help coordinate economic development across different regions in China.展开更多

Theoretical and empirical studies have shown that agglomeration promotes dynamic efficiency, which in turn is conducive to the long-term prosperity of a country＇s economy. Compared with most countries, in China is very low, and Chinese cities the spatial concentration of various industries are relatively small and equal-sized. Thus, it is unnecessary to contain the agglomeration of economic activities in China. Widening regional gaps since pro-market reforms and opening-up in China should be ascribed to institutional barriers rather than agglomeration. Therefore, China should refrain from containing agglomeration and instead focus on integrating product and factor markets and improving education and health care in less developed areas.展开更多

Concerns of possible hydatid systemic dissemination as a result of direct vascular breaches are raised. We suggest that avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) if that possible is beneficial for the treatment. If not possible then the excision and clearance of the hydatid cyst should be done in the first place before going on bypass.展开更多

F3, an immuno regulatory component of Astragalus membranaceus was shown capable of potentiating LAK cell activity induced by rIL-2. The LAK cells killing activity against Hs294T melanoma cell line induced by 50 U/ml rIL-2 in the Presence of F3 (55 μg/ml) reached 64%, which was comparablc to that (60%) induced by 500 U/ml of rIL-2alone. With F3 and rIL-2, the effcctor to target ratio could be reduced to one-half in order to obtain an equivalent level of cytotoxicity induced by rIL-2 alone.In some patients whose Peripheral blood Iymphocytes were relatively inert of rIL-2, F3 could make them responsive to rIL-2 induction. These results imply that F3 may be useful to potentiate LAk cell activity, reduce the dosage of rIL-2 and thus minimize the later's toxic side effects when used in vivo.展开更多
