This paper compares the Chinese translations of Hoshi Shinichi’s fiction published between 1980 and 2014 with the publishing condition of the Japanese versions and discusses how the Chinese versions were received in China from three standpoints. First of all, by investigating the change or distribution type of the conditions of Hoshi Shinichi’s fiction over different years, which means the given examples of the Chinese translation collection, magazines and fiction in other publications, we can deduce how his fiction was received in China. Next, we put forward two features of the Chinese translations, namely, the translating boom period and the sudden change in the genre of works translated. Here we see the translation and publication of Hoshi’s works undergo boom and stagnation periods, and the works are categorized as either science fiction of short-short stories. Investigating the reasons behind these two features, we can put light on the characteristics of Chinese translations and their publication. In addition, the fact that Hoshi’s fiction is taken up in Chinese school 2 5textbooks suggests the uniqueness of how it has been received in China. That is to say, Hoshi’s fiction is highly regarded in Chinese educational circles and his audience is becoming younger. By comparing the adoption of Hoshi’s fiction in both Chinese and Japanese school textbooks, we were able to analyze the reasons why the works were adopted and thus discuss the characteristics of his Chinese readers. To a conclusion, based on the materials which collected during 30 years from now on and produced by the Chinese translation and reception condition of Hoshi Shinichi’s fiction in China, this article is to interpret the 3 characters: the boom of the translating, the change of the works’ genera and the younger-age trend of the reception readers., 本論文は1980年から2014年までに中国で出版された中国語訳の星新一小説の状況と，日本における星新一小説の出版状況とを比較し，星新一小説の中国における受容の特徴を三つの面に分けて論ずるものである。第一に，中国語訳の作品集，雑誌及びその他の出版物に収録された星新一小説の翻訳点数と出版点数を挙げ，星新一小説出版の年代による変化や類型分布などの状況の分析を行い，それを通して中国における星新一小説の出版現状を明らかにする。第二に，星新一小説の中国における翻訳時期の集中及び翻訳された作品のジャンル区分の突然の変化という二つの特徴を取りあげる。すなわち，中国における星新一小説の翻訳及び出版には明らかにブームと停滞期があり，彼の作品を「SF」に分類するか「ショートショート」に分類するかという区分の変化も中国における独特の現象である。この二つの特徴の原因を分析し，星新一小説の中国語訳出版の特徴を論ずる。第三に，星新一の小説は中国で教科書に収録されたことに見られるように，中国における星新一小説の受容対象には顕著な特徴がある。すなわち，教育界からの高い評価を受けたことで，星新一小説の受容対象もより若くなる傾向があるのである。中日両国における星新一作品の教育用図書における採用状況を比較し，その原因を分析し，中国における星新一小説受容対象の特徴を論ずる。以上，本論文は，現在までの30年間に，中国における星新一小説の中国語訳及びその受容状況には，中国社会国有の特徴，すなわち，翻訳時期の集中，作品ジャンル区分の変化，および受容対象の低年齢化という三つの顕著な特徴が存在したことについて論述したものである。

Background: Diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis through undefined molecular mechanisms. Hyperglycemia induces formation of advanced glycation end product (AGE)-modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Anti-AGE-LDL autoantibodies favor atherosclerosis (AS) progression in humans, while anti oxidized LDL immunization inhibits AS in hypercholesterolemic, non-diabetic mice. We here investigated if AGE-LDL immunization protects against AS in diabetic mice. Methods: After diabetes induction with streptozotocin and high fat diet, both low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)(-/-) and apoE female mice were randomized to: AGE-LDL immunization with aluminum hydroxide (Alum) adjuvant; Alum alone; or PBS. Results: AGE-LDL immunization: significantly reduced AS; induced specific plasma IgM and IgG antibodies; upregulated splenic Th2, Treg and IL-10 levels, without altering Th1 or Th17 cells; and increased serum high density lipoprotein(HDL) while numerically lowering HbA1c levels. Conclusions: Subcutaneous immunization with AGE-LDL significantly inhibits atherosclerosis progression in hyperlipidemic diabetic mice possibly through activation of specific humoral and cell mediated immune responses and metabolic control improvement.

The deposit is hosted by metamorphosed Devonian oceanic volcanic rocks ranging from Na-rich subalkalic mafic to felsic in composition. Lithogeochemical data suggest that volcanism occurred within an intraplate setting. Volcanic rocks near the orebodies include flows, breccia, tuffs, volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks and subvolcanic rocks while chemical sedimentary rocks such as marble and Fe-, Mg- and Ca-bearing carbonates are closely associated with the ore, which is located near the top of the volcanic sequence. The orebodies are mainly stratiform and lenticular in shape, occurring where felsic volcanic flows grade into clastic rocks along strike and chemical or volcaniclastic sediments down-dip. Ores have been folded at the same time as the strata and hydrothermal alteration has usually developed in the footwall. Ores exhibit banded, massive, mottled, brecciated, disseminated and veinlet textures. The main ore mineral is magnetite with gangue quartz, plagioclase, garnet, diopside and amphibole. Geological and geochemical characteristics suggest that the deposit is best classified as syngenetic volcanic exhalative, with conversion to oxide-phase ores having taken place during subsequent regional metamorphism and related deformation., The deposit is hosted by metamorphosed Devonian oceanic volcanic rocks ranging from Na-rich subalkalic mafic to felsic in composition.
