Cultural expectations of thinness in Chinese women.

The present study examined the ideal woman's figure among Chinese people in Hong Kong over the past three decades by analyzing the data from the Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant from 1975-2000. Results indicate that Miss Hong Kong Pageant winners and Miss Photogenic winners have always been taller and thinner than average women in Hong Kong. The data also suggest that a curvaceous body shape with a narrow waist set against full hips appears to be an important component of feminine beauty among the Chinese. This ideal matches closely to what has been depicted in classical Chinese literature and challenges the commonly held belief that Chinese feminine beauty standards value plumpness.

Six-month results of small vessel stenting (2.0-2.8 mm) with the Biodivysio SV stent.

We report the 6-month follow-up results of our initial retrospective experience with the Biodivysio small vessel (SV) stent (Biocompatibles, Galway, United Kingdom) designed for 2.0-2.8 mm vessel diameters. This stent is manufactured with a smaller stainless-steel tube (1.0 mm) and is coated with phosphorylcholine. Procedural success was 95.7% and the major adverse cardiac events at 6 months were 20%. We conclude that the Biodivysio SV stent is a safe device that does not induce excessive acute thrombosis or early restenosis.
