An efficacy-linked strategy for the quality evaluation of traditional medicine: Chaenomeles speciosa as an example
“Do Not Fight the Swans”: Gender Politics and Moral Norms Across Media
In recent years, we have witnessed a growing body of research focusing on identity politics, public shaming, and social outrage in the contemporary media landscape. Morality is often at the core of these debates. Recent studies show how all media types are rich sources of moral statements, producing an endless stream of moral discourse on all imaginable topics and themes. Yet, how these discourses are shaped in media production and what audiences…

Mainstreaming Decolonial Perspectives in Media and Communication
Over the past two decades, there have been many calls and efforts to decolonize and de-westernize research in media and communication (Aouragh & Chakravartty 2016; Couldry & Mejias 2019; Ricaurte 2019). While these efforts have generated valuable academic centers, community-driven projects, and South-to-South networks (e.g., CARGC, FemLab, Tierra Comun), the field is still dominated by (implicit) universalist perspectives. Often the Anglo-America…
Global Perspectives on Platforms and Cultural Production
While digital platforms have reconfigured the institutions and practices of cultural production around the globe, current research is dominated by studies that take as their reference point the Anglo-American world--and, to a lesser extent--China (Cunningham & Craig 2019; Kaye et al. 2021; Poell et al. 2021; Zhao 2019). Aside from totalizing theories of platform imperialism (Jin, 2013), the “rest of the world” has thus received relatively scant a…
When Industry Lore Doesn't Work: Exploring McNs' Limited Intermediary Roles in Promotional Culture
Originating as supplementary firms that operate in and around YouTube’s advertising infrastructure, Multichannel Networks (MCNs) have become a renewed form of cultural intermediaries shaping platform-based cultural production (Lobato 2016; Craig and Cunningham 2019). The emergence of MCNs represents “an opportunity to revisit some elements of the theory base around intermediaries and update it for the platform economy” (Lobato 2016, 350). To hold…
Dahuang-Gancao decoction ameliorates testosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia in mice
Both oral and external application of DGD can promote the proliferation of HFSCs by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. External application of DGD can promote the hair follicles to enter the anagen phase, which can ameliorate the symptoms of alopecia in AGA mice. Therefore, compared to oral DGD, external application of DGD is an effective and safer way of administration for the treatment of AGA

Associations of area-level socioeconomic status and individual factors with mortality in China: A nationwide prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: Although socioeconomic inequality in mortality has long been a public health focus, the associations of area-level socioeconomic status (SES) and individual-level factors with mortality have not been well investigated, especially in China with rapid industrial development. METHODS: In this nationwide, population-based, prospective cohort study, adults aged over 40 from 29 counties were included in the China Cardiometabolic Disease and…
Influencers’ Instagram imaginaries as a global phenomenon: Negotiating precarious interdependencies on followers, the platform environment, and commercial expectations
Instagram has become a place of work for many content creators, including influencers; however, the inherent power imbalance between creator and platform dictating influencers’ success, requires creators to negotiate user expectations and the platform environment for their potential (commercial) success. Therefore, this article proposes approaching the influencer industry from the framework of platform imaginaries by developing a mixed qualitativ…
“Being pretty does not help your success”: Self-representation and aspiration of China’s female showroom livestreamers
China’s showroom livestreaming is highly gender-segregated, in which young women working as showroom livestreamers are often stigmatized and criticized as hypersexual or vulgar. Situating female streamers’ practices in the sociocultural environment of contemporary China and comparing them to other wanghong creators such as fashion or beauty bloggers in China’s digital economy, we investigate how female streamers construct a particular type of gen…

With…
Inhalation of Citrus Reticulata essential oil alleviates airway inflammation and emphysema in COPD rats through regulation of macrophages
Douyin's playful platform governance: Platform's self-regulation and content creators’ participatory surveillance
To mediate the tensions between state regulation and content-creator incentives, Chinese social media platforms have developed an interesting practice of using platform official accounts to communicate their rules to the creator community. These accounts anthropomorphize platforms, enabling platforms to represent their regulatory bodies using fictional human characters or animated figures. The phenomenon of platform anthropomorphization in the Ch…

Navigating the economy of ambivalent intimacy: Gender and relational labour in China’s livestreaming industry
By examining female streamers’ everyday interactions with their viewers and their experiences as showroom livestreamers (xiuchang zhubo) in China’s livestreaming industry, this article adopts—but also re-examines—the premises of relational labour in order to investigate the gendered power relations involved in the showroom livestreaming sector. Based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with female livestreamers, we argue that showroom livestre…

Association of education levels with the risk of hypertension and hypertension control: A nationwide cohort study in Chinese adults
BACKGROUND: Education attainment can improve life expectancy and guide healthy behaviours throughout an entire lifetime. A nationwide longitudinal study of the association of education status with the risk of hypertension and its control in China is lacking. METHODS: The China Cardiometabolic Disease and Cancer Cohort Study is a multicentre, population-based, prospective cohort study. We performed the baseline survey from 2011 to 2012. A follow-u…
Health seeking behavior and associated factors among individuals with cough in Yiwu, China: A population-based study
The present study found that age, sex, living areas and features of cough were associated with health seeking behavior. It is worth noting that those who coughed for too long (e.g. > 8 weeks) were less likely to seek medical treatment. Targeted measures should be developed based on the key factors found in this study to guide persons to seek medical treatment more scientifically
Streamer-Interface-Viewer Entanglement: An Analysis on the Discursive and Affective Live-streaming Chatroom Interface
In China, the live-streaming industry has a distinctive model of cultural production: showroom live-streaming. It is often adopted by social media platforms to complement other social networking activities. This study reveals the ways in which social media platforms (specifically, Douyin and Momo) design their showroom livestreaming interfaces and aff ordances to normalise and commodify the aff ective interactions between female streamers and the…
