Abstract Previous studies of China’s civil war have concentrated on different aspects and causes leading to the Communist victory and focused on political, economic, and military explanations. Few studies, however, have examined the features of foreign intervention and assistance to the Communist Party of China and their contribution to the latter’s success. Sino-Soviet relations and cooperation during the war have received the attention of several studies, but the role of North Korea in the war has remained obscure. As information regarding North Korea’s actions during China’s civil war remains largely inaccessible, few studies have debated the question of whether North Korea had ever deployed its forces in China’s Northeast in order to assist their Chinese comrades. Relying on military and intelligence documents from the Republic of China, this article shows how by the time of the Soviet withdrawal from China’s Northeast, the USSR had become resolute about turning North Korea into a militarized state in order to protect its own interests in the region and assist the Chinese Communists.

This article discusses the situation in Chinese linguistics before the founding of the Republic of China, the status of the Baihua language, the “may 4 movement” for the Baihua language and its consequences. As a result of the widespread introduction of the Baihua language, which served as an important factor in the formation of the modern Chinese language, a number of reforms were carried out in Chinese linguistics. The relevance of each reform gained practical significance.

TFP is a lipophilic antipsychotic drug. The drug will first encounter with cell membrane when adding it into a cell suspension. The effect of TFP on plasma membrane of the gel-filtered human platelet was investigated by : 1) scanning electron microscopy (SEM); 2) measuring theleakiness of marker enzymes and compound; 3) estimating its solubility in membrane. The cells were suspended in the modified Tyrode's buffer containing 0.1% dextrose, 0.2% of bovine serum albumin and without calcium. The SEM study showed that platelet changed shape from disc to ellipsoid in 10 μM TFP.,Increasingthe TFP concentration from 20 μM to 50 μM resulted in changing thecell from ellipsoid to sphere with a wavy surface. The drug did not cause any significant change in the cell volume. TFPof 70 μM caused platelet becoming a round ball shape with a spongy-like cell surface. 100 μM TFP caused more than 90% of cells to lyse and to agglutinate with each other. The time courseof morphological change of the TFP-affected platelets showed that the cellsswelled into irregular shape within 2 min. Apparent leakiness of serotonin was observed at 20 μM TFP, while the leakages of both lactate dehydrogenase and acid hydrolase were found at 40 μM TFP. The TFP uptake study showed that platelet was permeable to TFP by simple diffusion. The partition coefficient of TFP in platelet membrane was estimated to be 1 x 104. These results indicate that TFP molecules are solubilized in membrane. The extent in perturbation of the membrane structure depends on concentration of the drug used.
