It argues that China’s illiberalism characterized by concurrent cultural liberalization and ideological control both enables the staging of homosexuality in the Chinese musical and displaces the liberationist undertone from the original production. It foregrounds kinship relations as central to the musical’s renderings of queer politics. In the convergence of consumerist culture and kinship-centered activism, this chapter observes new ways of imagining queer identities but also emerging locally-specific patterns of homonormativity.","PeriodicalId":53534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"73-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147902718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of patients, and whole exome sequencing was used for gene sequencing. EDA1 (ectodysplasin A1) wild-type and mutant expression plasmids were constructed. Protein expression levels were detected by Western blotting. The effect on downstream NF-κB pathway activity was detected by dual luciferase analysis. The data was analyzed with SPSS 20.0 software. RESULTS: We identified a novel EDA c.649_666del (p.Pro217_Pro222del) mutation. Compared with wild-type EDA1, the mutant EDA1 protein can be expressed and secreted normally, but its transcriptional activation of downstream NF-κB pathway was significantly decreased(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study identified a novel deletion mutation of EDA gene, which expanded the mutation spectrum of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and can be helpful for prenatal consultation, diagnosis and correction.","PeriodicalId":53534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147903789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The interview-based Specific Activity Scale classified cardiac patients into four functional classes based on ability in performing the specific activities with symptom consideration. This tool is widely used by occupational therapist in evaluating the functional performance in cardiac rehabilitation program but it has not been translated into Chinese language. Objective: The objective is to study concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the Specific Activity Scale Hong Kong Chinese version (SASHKCV) on patients with heart diseases in Hong Kong. Methods: This was a prospective study where cardiac patients were recruited in day cardiac rehabilitation centres. SASHKCV was conducted twice within 7 days. Metabolic Equivalent (MET) in stress test was collected within study period. Results: 179 patients had completed the SASHKCV and stress test. Patients with recent Myocardial Infarction (MI) during initial assessment were classified as MI group. The other patients were sorted into non-MI group. The results of the test-retest reliability of the MI group was 0.948 (p<0.001), and that of the non-MI group was 0.933 (p<0.001). Total group correlation was 0.944 (p<0.001). Furthermore, the correlation between the functional class of SASHKCV and MET in MI group was 0.459 (p<0.001) and non-MI group was 0.536 (p<0.001). Overall correlation coefficient was 0.496 (p<0.001).
