After the breakfast, the family of four went aboard a coach traveling from Jiaozuo in central China’s Henan Province to the provincial capital Zhengzhou. Li and his wife would help their two daughters fulfill their wish—to visit their "mother" at the Zhengzhou Center for Street Urchin Protection. As the coach was speeding along the highway against the cold wind. thonghts and emotions surged through the couple’s minds like the tides. Watching their simple and lovely daughters who appeared eager to see "mother", they recalled what happened six months ago. Years passed since Li’s ex-wife died. She left him a daughter, Caixia, who is now 14 years old. On the evening of July 27, 2002, Caixia talked back to her stepmother because of a trifle. The father blamed the daughter: So, Caixia harbored a grudge against the couple and vowed to "teach them a lesson".展开更多

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of three different synthetic bone grafts (Cerasorb, Fortoss and Perioglass) on sisters chromatide exchanges (SCEs) in peripheral lymphocytes. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood samples taken from 68 patients (45 females and 23 males), who underwent oral surgery procedures, such as apical resection, cyst enucleation or periodontal curretage, were obtained for SCE a day before and two months after the surgeries. A control group included 30 patients, while the study group was made of the patients who underwent bone grafting with Cerasorb? (11 patients), Fortoss? VITAL (10 patients) or Perioglass? (17 patients). Results: Comparing with the results of the study group before and after the treatment, it was concluded that the results were statistically significant (p = 0.001). In the Perioglass? subgroup, a greater statistical significance (p = 0.003) was noted, than that in either the Cerasorb? (p = 0.620) or Fortoss? (p = 0.210) subgroups, in which there was no statistical significance. Conclusions: Although further investigations may be necessary, our results suggest that the synthetic bone grafts might have an influence on SCE in peripheral lymphocytes.展开更多

Amidst the crowd, a red banner at- tracted peoples＇ eyes. On it were written four golden characters： ＂Jinlin Big Sisters.＂ Under the banner was a group of hundreds of women workers organized by the Jilin Women＇s Employment Guidance Center, the first group of Jilin Big Sisters organized in 2013 to work in Guangzhou. A team leader said, ＂We send out over 100 teams like this every year.＂ How is such a large group of women workers organized？ It all starts with the hard work and great effort put forth by the Women＇s Employment Guidance Center of Jilin Province over the last 10 or more years to take care of des- titute women.展开更多
