Protectionism,currency multilateralism,decentralization of financial decision-making power and the nationalism of resources are gaining ground.The emerging economies are on the rise.The world power order is becoming multi-polar.Relations between countries are growing more diverse.The global governance model is undergoing fundamental changes.Global governance mechanisms,which are more representative and reflective of the diverse interests(such as the G20 and the UN climate change conference),along with a reform of the international monetary system,will also help shape the future world order.展开更多

We need a new kind of cultural self-awareness and cultural self- confidence. Globalization has two aspects: internationalization and "worldization." These attributes determine our two-fold task of developing and making use of international cultural resources to reconstruct Chinese culture, and of Chinese cultural resources to reconstruct world culture. At the same time, the dual nature of globalization also determines the duality of the cross-cultural. Here we find the very grounds for China's strategy for cultural development to deal with globalization.展开更多

From a world- historical perspective, all other necessary features of advanced culture in contemporary China represent the logical unfolding of these three requirements. A full and correct grasp of the three elements constituting the world-historicality of this advanced culture is of important methodological significance in clarifying the world-historical mode of the construction of contemporary Chinese culture and the path to cultural innovation.展开更多

Methods: In mice, blood biochemistry and histopathology were assessed in carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)-induced oxidative hepatic injury in vivo. The animal groups included vehicle-treated control, CCl4, SKT 500 mg/(kg·day) CCl4+SKT 200 or 500 mg/(kg·day). In Hep G2 cell, tert-butyl hydroperoxide(t BHP) induced severe oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro. The cyto-protective effects of SKT were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay, fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis and western blotting. Results: The administration of SKT prevented liver damage induced by CCl4 in mice, by inhibition of hepatocyte degeneration and inflammatory cell infiltration as well as plasma parameters such as alanine aminotransferase(P〈0.01). Moreover, treatment with t BHP induced hepatocyte death and cellular reactive oxygen species production in hepatocyte cell line. However, SKT pretreatment(30–300 μg/m L) reduced this cell death and oxidative stress(P〈0.01). More importantly, SKT inhibited the ability of t BHP to induce changes in mitochondrial membrane transition in cell stained with rhodamine 123(P〈0.01). Furthermore, treatment with SKT induced extracellular signal-regulated kinases-mediated nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf2) activation as well as the expressions of heme oxygenase 1 and glutamate-cystein ligase catalytic, Nrf2 target genes. Conclusion: SKT has the ability to protect hepatocyte against oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage mediated by Nrf2 activation.展开更多

文摘In the paper, the formation and causes of world economic system and order are deeply analyzed. Professor Su quotes some experts on international relations to prove his arguments. In the last part of his paper, Dr. Su spends a lot to expound the world economic system and the rise of the developing world in the new century.
