It may present as an exclusive symptom, or be con-comitant with other congenital malformations nd even some fatal birth defects. Clinically, ACF is fea-tured by drooping of the intact corner of the mouth during crying, while the face appears symmetric at rest. The facial nerve function is symmetric, as determined by frowning, forehead wrinkling, eye closure, and nasolabial fold depth. When ACF alone is present, the cause is often compression of the mandibular branch of the facial nerve that is prob-ably due to birth trauma or abnormal fetal posture in utero. ACF with other congenital anomalies is usually caused by hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle (DAOM) on one side of the mouth.展开更多

Oedipa Maas. the protagonist, a housewife, started her journey and soon found herself enmeshed in a worldwide conspiracy, meeting some extremely interesting and absurd characters, quite beyond her imagination and self-knowledge. These characters came from different walks of life and social classes, but all have some defects and deficiencies in one way or another, both physically or mentally. Meanwhile, they seemed to be busy involving themselves in some ridiculous and meaningless tasks or missions of work or life, lingering and struggling, with uncertainty and hopelessness for the future. In this way. Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 presents us a chaotic and meaningless postmodern society which gradually turns into decadence and entropy. These absurd and pathetic characters were exactly, without doubt, both products and victims of this materialized, alienated and depressing postmodern society. The fiction is humorous, obscure, and very complicated, involving politics, history., religion, science and art etc.. This paper is to analyse the absurdity of some main characters in this fiction.展开更多

Methods: Sixty cases with night crying were treated with Three-character- scripture School pediatric tuina, followed by observing the efficacy. Results: Forty-nine cases were recovered, 7 cases improved, and 4 cases failed. The total effective rate was 93.3%. Conclusion: Three-character-scripture School pediatric tuina is effective for night crying of infants. It should be spread and applied due to its manipulation with less acupoints, simple operation and no pain for infants.展开更多

By using the spectral theory, we not only analyze the convergence property of the LCRI method, but also obtain the quasi-optimal parameter expression. The efficiency of the new method is further verified numerically.展开更多
