China California Heart Watch collaborated with Beijing’s Fu Wai
Hospital and Research Institute (Fu Wai) and Dali Medical
University Affiliate Hospital (Dali MU) to complete research on the
comparative prevalence and extent of coronary atherosclerosis in
Beijing city residents and Yunnan rural farmers. Dr. Hui Li Cao
(left) of Fu Wai led the research team. She was assisted by her
mentor, Professor Bin Lu, also of Fu Wai and by Professors Tian
Zhao Ouyang and Xin Hua Wu of Dali MU and by Professor Jing Qian Lu
of Kunming Medical University and by Professor Robert Detrano of
University of California, Irvine. Dr. Cao is working with
bio-statisticians at the University of Southern California to write
a manuscript that she hopes to present to the American Journal of
Epidemiology.
The mission of the China California Heart Watch includes
researching heart disease and its risk factors among the rural poor
of Yunnan Province, China. China Cal has now sponsored five
peer-reviewed reports published in international scientific
journals over the past five years. The most recent report was
accepted last month in the International Journal of Diabetes. Two
China Cal interns, Linh Nguyen (left) of the Washington University
School of Public Health and Shireen Khalife (right) of the
University of California, Irvine, Program in Public Health led the

The research team also included, Professor Dayi Hu of Peking
University and former President of the Chinese Cardiovascular

What does a child prodigy do after the hoopla has died? Marc Yu’s
answer is: “You know about fame, and hard work, and the business
dimension. But this is all mixed up with idealism because of your
age and because of the nature of music. Or, at least, that’s how it
worked out for me.”
Marc attends school and music studies, while continuing his
commitment to making the world a better place. He started
humanitarian activities during his child prodigy days by doing
charity fundraisers. He will reminisce about being on the front
page of the LA Times; playing for Ellen, Leno, and Oprah; giving
concerts for BBC Proms or the National Geographic; and being the
subject of documentaries on highly gifted children. But he also
remembers being able to move people at fundraise
China Cal will be sponsoring the training of village doctors in
Dehong Prefecture, Liang He County during the first week of May,
2013. The training will focus on hypertension and diabetes. Chinese
village doctors are farmers who study basic health care for between
three and 24 months after high school. This study is not heavily
focused on chronic disease like hypertension and diabetes, both of
which are becoming more important health problems in rural
China.
We thank the American College of Chest Physicians for funding
this session and the Liang He County Health Department for
additional funding. We are grateful to Drs. Cheng Loh (right) and
Donald Hastings of the Bless China International (BCI) organization
for leading the sessions and also to Professor Renli Qiao (left)of
the University of Southern California for participating on its
faculty. China Cal is planning similar training sessions later this
year.

每次回到大理都会结识些新朋友，这次先认识了DAVID，经由他又认识了DETRANO教授。
David早在1987年就来到了云南，去了很多偏僻但很美的地方。那时他高中毕业后先游学一年，然后再开始大学学习，他花了3个月的时间在中国，最终还是觉得大理最佳，于是这么多年过去了，再来中国大理始终是首选。
David中文讲得是相当不错，遇到不明词语立刻电子词典查阅，很是好学，他设定的目标是讲中文能够脱口而出，于是一年前特别到台湾学习中国文化，这是个明智的选择
