Sentencing Parricides: Text and Context; Rhetoric and Silence

This article considers the sentencing of two eighteenth centuryparricides, one committed by a daughter, the other by a son. In eachcase the sentencing remarks are first subject to generic analysis,derived from the work of Rukiya Hasan and Susan Urmston Philips. Withinthose thematic structures there is a traditional rhetorical analysis. Bycombining both types of analysis one can demonstrate the salientfeatures of each set of judicial remarks. The focus of the article thenshifts from these texts to their contexts, and reveals features in theiroffence narratives which have been omitted in these otherwise powerfulrhetorical utterances. Explanations for these silences are given.     

电针督脉对缺血性脑损伤大鼠神经细胞凋亡的影响

目的：揭示电针治疗在缺血性脑血管疾病中的分子机制。方法：采用原位标记法，研究电针督脉的大椎、百会经穴对缺血性脑损伤的保护作用。凝闭大鼠大脑中动脉致局灶性脑缺血10h后，选择末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导dUTP缺口末端标记法（TUNEL）检测神经细胞的凋亡状况，并观察电针对其影响。结果：电针组大脑皮质梗死区内TUNEL染色阳性细胞显减少，与模型组比较，差异有显性意义（P＜0．01）。结论：电针可抑制脑缺血后脑内神经细胞凋亡。
