Tai Ji Quan for the aging cancer survivor: Mitigating the accelerated development of disability,falls, and cardiovascular disease from cancer treatment

Currently there are more than 13.7 million cancer survivors living in the U.S., and that figure is projected to increase by 31% in the next decade, adding another 4 million cancer survivors into the healthcare system. Cancer is largely a disease of aging, and the aging of the population will sharply raise the proportion of older cancer survivors, many of whom will be long-term survivors (5+ years post diagnosis). This review will address the potential utility of exercise to address three health problems that are of particular concern for the aging cancer survivor and the healthcare system, i.e., disability, falls, and cardiovascular disease, because the development of these age-related problems may be accelerated by cancer treatment. While there are many different modes of exercise that each produce specific adaptations, Tai Ji Quan may be a particularly suitable strategy to mitigate the development of age- and cancer-treatment-related problems. Based on studies in older adults without cancer, Tai Ji Quan produces musculoskeletal and cardiometabolic adaptations and is more easily performed by older adults due to its low energy cost and slower movement patterns. Since cancer survivors are mostly older, inactive, and often physically limited by the lingering side effects of treatment, they need to engage in safe, practical, and effective modes of exercise. The dearth of published controlled trials examining the efficacy of Tai Ji Quan to mitigate cancer-treatment-related musculoskeletal and cardiovascular side effects points to ample research opportunities to explore the application of this non-Western exercise modality to improve long-term outcomes for aging cancer survivors.     

《隆平集》版本考略

《隆平集》是记载北宋太祖至英宗史事的重要文献，文章以时代为序，对《隆平集》各版本进行考证，并梳理其版本源流，阐明各本关系。     

“几何”曾经不是几何学明末“几何”及相关学科命名新探

徐光启和利玛窦一起翻译了《几何原本》,这是一个中西数学、科学甚至文化首次实质性交流的重大历史事件。然而学界目前对“几何”的中西来源及其含义以及与之相关学术的研究颇多值得商榷之处。本文从已有研究出发,通过对原始文献的详细解读,对“几何”、“几何府”、“几何家”、“几何之学”、“几何原本”等词汇的来源和含义提出了与以往不同的观点。     

“囚久羊里”,“演《周易》”——关中第一思想家姬昌

本文从史实出发 ,考察了周文王姬昌“演《周易》”的历史过程及其在思想文化方面的重大贡献     

《诗三家义集疏》标点斠例

1987年中华书局出版的校点本王先谦<诗三家义集疏>在使用中发现王氏所征引的毛<传>、郑<笺>部分标点有不妥之处.这些标点错误归纳起来,有不当断而断、当断而不断、当属上而属下、当属下而属上、因不明假借字而误断、因不明古今字而误断、因不明语法而误断,因不明名物而误断、因不明礼制而误断等九个方面.     

维新思想在西北的传播——以甘肃《群报辑要》为核心的考察

1898年农历四月光绪帝下达《定国是诏》开启百日维新,三个月后,甘肃民间出现了第一份近代报刊《群报辑要》;该报以维新变法为主要内容,属文摘性质,从内容选择和自身传播特点能看出维新思想在西北的传播虽呈现出碎片化特征,但仍能重点突出,并运用比较全面和相对进步的新式媒体要素进行传播。     

陆机文的特质

陆机"不能持事"的性格与强烈的事功意志之间的内在矛盾,在其入洛之后的感物念故的题材书写中,不仅没有弱化陆文的表现力,而且构成陆文特质的重要方面。陆机奉行两汉儒家旧贯之精神,在体物观览、察时变化、应感触类上,理在物先,呈现出某种机械反应论特点,而作为个体的主体性并不明显。陆文的情感抒发不是高扬情志,迥异于魏晋"尚尚文辞""重智术"一派。陆机是儒门从经术到文章转变的重要一环,它上承蔡邕、王粲,下开杜甫,在文的情理结构、表达方式及文辞文律等方面,做了有益探索。     

从《纪晓岚批点唐诗》看纪晓岚的唐诗文艺观

在《纪晓岚批点唐诗》中,可以梳理出纪晓岚唐诗文艺观。主要体现为:指出唐诗"气韵天成、兴象天然",对盛唐气象标举、敬仰;认为唐诗"雄浑开阔、深妙圆融",对唐诗意境首肯、探索;"论诗以世",对唐诗发展、诗风流变把握评价;"不压于盛名",对唐诗进行实事求是的批评。梳理纪晓岚唐诗文艺观,对纪晓岚研究、唐诗研究都有积极意义。     

“词典体”文学文本--基于《马桥词典》的思考

韩少功的《马桥词典》借用“词典”的形式,把马桥的人事物理、轶闻趣事、风俗民情做了新的安排、装配,称为词典体小说的代表。词典体小说打破了传统小说整一性的故事结构和主线因果导控的模式。寻找到了一种新的编纂方式即敞开的、不被“主导性”独霸的多重因果线索交叉的,读者能够参与的方式。该文试从文学形式、编纂者、读者角度来阐述文学作品运用词典形式的可行性。     

民国三种“陆机年谱”平议

陆机为“太康之英”,而其年谱迟至民国始有人编纂。民国的三种“陆机年谱”,李泽仁《陆士衡史》最先在《尚友书塾季报》发表,校补后经志景书塾铅印出版,其中不乏创见;朱东润《陆机年表》厘清了西晋平吴后陆机被俘等关键问题,最具影响力;何融《潘陆年谱》大约与朱谱同时完成,考证简略,刊登于总共出版两期的《知用丛刊》上,长期以来淹没不闻。厘清民国三种“陆机年谱”的版本情况和学术价值,有助于认识“陆机年谱”的编修历史,对陆机研究的某些观点进行重新评价和定位。
