    This paper makes an in-depth analysis of the "Peaky Blinders" from the aspects of role setting and plot arrangement from the standpoint of feminism, and tries to explain the breakthrough of the play in reshaping the female image and constructing the main body of female mainstream ideology. In the "Peaky Blinders", we can see the development process of feminist creative ideas from "the initial stage of essentialism tendency" to "the transitional stage of collision and integration of different feminist ideas" to "the experimental stage of trying a variety of feminist expressions" and then to "the personality stage of giving up ideas and free expression" which reflects women's recovery of initiative, women are the core and master their own emotional life. Through the analysis of the origin and development of feminism and the creation of female characters in the "Peaky Blinders", this paper reveals the great significance of female characters and tries to provide ideas for the process of creating them in film and television works for the long-term production. European and American female TV dramas can be regarded as an early and systematic bold practice of "she culture" in the field of film and television popular culture, providing rich content and various types of image texts. The image world in European and American female TV dramas corresponds to the real life under "her culture". It can be seen that European and American female TV dramas are new cultural products, which are closely related to the culture of the times and echo each other, which are its advantages. However, how to develop and improve in the future, how to develop new ideas and enrich the meaning of the text, and maintain fresh vitality and keen cultural insight are what European and American female TV dramas should think and adjust at this stage.</jats:p

    Background: Cardio-and Cerebrovascular Disease Event Surveillance System (CDESS) was established in Guangzhou in 2013. It provided important information of the stroke hospitalization and set up a platform for further research on stroke. Objective: To describe the characteristics of stroke hospitalizations in Class 2 and 3 hospitals, examine crude and standardized hospitalization rates by age, sex and stroke subtypes, identify problems in the first year database through the analysis and make recommendations for further improvements Design: Case-series study Setting: Guangzhou, China Subjects: 32324 stroke hospitalizations in Class 2 and 3 hospitals Methods: Descriptive statistics were used to describe the distributions of stroke hospitalizations by age, sex and subtypes. Chi-square test, One-way ANOVA and two-independent sample t-test were conducted to compare differences in sex and age in total strokes and 3 main subtypes. Crude rates, age- and sex-specific hospitalization rates were calculated using the 2010 Guangzhou Census population. Age-standardized rates were calculated by direct standardization method using the WHO world population. Results: The mean age±SD for total strokes was 70.33±12.26 for all subjects, 68.95±12.56 for men and 72.19±11.59 for women. CBI and the 75-79 year age group accounted for the largest proportions in total strokes. The mean age of women was significantly greater than men for total stroke. The crude hospitalization rate of total strokes was 275.22 for men, 224.16 for women and 250.85 for all. The age-standardized rate of total strokes was 308.2 in men, 202.2 in women and 253.5 in all. Conclusion: Because the stroke hospitalization data combined first-ever and recurrent strokes, incident hospitalization rates could not be calculated. The present study also could not distinguish fatal hospitalizations from nonfatal ones. Hence, bed days and hospital charges analysis would not yield meaningful results. The CDESS needs to be improved by collecting information to clarify whether the hospitalization is first-ever or recurrent, and the survival status at discharge. The mortality data from death registration in CDC should be used to check with CDESS data for stroke death outside the hospitals Community based studies are needed to identify strokes not admitted into Class 2 and 3 hospitals. The problems identified in CDESS or WHO STEP Stroke should be discussed with other hospitals in China, such as Hangzhou and Shanghai so that the problems can be tackled together.published_or_final_versionPublic HealthMasterMaster of Public Healt

    Prefrontal cortex (A) and hippocampus (B) were collected from rats fed iron-loading or control diet and homogenized for western blot analysis to determine the expression levels of subunits of non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate (AMPA) receptor: Glu1A and Glu2A. Relative intensities of protein bands normalized to actin were determined using Image Lab. Empty and closed bars represent control (Con) and iron-loaded (IL) rats, respectively. Data were presented as means ± SEM (n = 4 per group) and were analyzed using two-sample t-test. * P < 0.05.</p
