The narrator, Anling, a middle-aged Chinese woman, may be Ha Jin's invention, but she serves as assistant to a well-documented real-life character, Minnie Vautrin, an American missionary from Illinois who served as acting head of Jinling College.
Ha Jin may be the most disorienting writer working in English today.
In a funny way, says the Chinese-American novelist Gish Jen, the timeless quality of Jin's writing may be among the few really new things happening in American fiction right now.
They suspect blind courtesan Mei (Zhang Ziyi) may be a secret member of the Daggers, so Jin, posing as a citizen, busts her out of jail and goes on the run with her, pursued by Leo and numerous expendable officers.
This may be a function of the first-person narration, which Jin uses here for the first time in a novel: an omniscient narrator's distance from the story also allows the reader some perspective.
The overexpression of c-Myc alone was not sufficient to induce premature mitosis; this may be primarily because the inhibitory phosphorylations of Cdc2 are independently regulated (Jin et al, 1996).
In addition, high levels of intracellular Hsp70 in lymphocytes may be a danger marker, as observed in late-stage patients with cerebral infarction (Jin et al. 2004b).
Of note, these helices also form an interface between NTD dimers (Jin et al., 2009; Sobolevsky et al., 2009), which may be disrupted by TARP association in the AMPAR tetramer (orange region in Figure S4B).
Overexpression of CREB may be required for the proliferation and survival of human cancers (Bonni et al, 1999; Siu and Jin, 2007).
Jin et al. reported that, in addition to 11q13 amplification, loss of distal 11q may be important for biological aggressiveness of head and neck carcinomas [40].
The discordance between these two studies may be partially due to the different sample sizes: 672 patients were recruited in this study compared with 229 in the study by Jin et al. [ 23].
