Background. Miscarriage is a very common complication during early pregnancy. So far, clinical therapies have limitation in preventing the early pregnancy loss. Chinese Medicine, regarded as gentle, effective, and safe, has become popular and common as a complementary and alternative treatment for miscarriages. However, the evidence to support its therapeutic efficacy and safety is still very limited. Objectives and Methods. To summarize the clinical application of Chinese Medicine for pregnancy and provide scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicines for miscarriage, we located all the relevant pieces of literature on the clinical applications of Chinese Medicine for miscarriage and worked out this systematic review. Results. 339,792 pieces of literature were identified, but no placebo was included and only few studies were selected for systematic review and conducted for meta-analysis. A combination of Chinese medicines and Western medicines was more effective than Chinese medicines alone. No specific safety problem was reported, but potential adverse events by certain medicines were identified. Conclusions. Studies vary considerably in design, interventions, and outcome measures; therefore conclusive results remain elusive. Large scales of randomized controlled trials and more scientific evidences are still necessary to confirm the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicines during early pregnancy.

“…The host-country benefits regarded by students in the United States and Canada as superior to those in China and as a disincentive to their returning included: better career opportunities, high salaries, and preparation to enter the workforce (Dimmock and Leong 2010;Kellogg 2010;Tung 2007; Downloaded by [FU Berlin] at 12:20 25 June 2015 Wadhwa et al 2009aWadhwa et al , 2011Zeithammer and Kellogg 2013); a higher quality of education, especially for children, and better opportunities for children (Tung 2007;Wadhwa et al 2009aWadhwa et al , 2009b; and a better quality and way of life (Tung 2007;Wadhwa et al 2009b). Chinese students in New Zealand did not intend to repatriate (Bai 2008), in part to gain a return on their investment in their education through working for at least a short time in New Zealand or other countries (33%). Career opportunities, family life, children's education, and a happy settlement into a Western lifestyle were strong barriers to the return to China of graduates living in Australia (Yang and Welch 2010).…”

This review examines why mainland Chinese students who study abroad repatriate to China, how they fare on reentry to China, and whether they reexpatriate. We show that Chinese students are motivated not only by career and economic considerations when deciding to repatriate, but also by social and psychological concerns. They are chiefly pulled home by China's attractions (e.g., career and economic opportunities, family and friends, national cultural identity) and, to a lesser extent, are pushed away from the host country by deterrents (e.g., dissatisfaction with career and economic opportunities, lack of cultural assimilation). They are also pulled to stay in their host country by its attractions (e.g., career opportunities, children's educational opportunities). On return, foreign graduates may suffer negative reactions, including reverse culture shock, poor cross-cultural readjustment, and unmet expectations, and a small but significant minority will reexpatriate. The study concludes with a set of potential research questions.

“…The New Zealand university environment has also changed for Chinese learners. For example, since the late 1990s the numbers of Chinese students in New Zealand has grown (Bai, 2008). The type and duration of Chinese students' experiences abroad have also changed because of New Zealand government regulations which allow students to come to New Zealand at an earlier age.…”

There are increasing numbers of Chinese students in New Zealand tertiary institutions. These students are challenged to adjust to new learning environments but, at the same time, staff are challenged to adjust to their teaching to include these students. The Student Approaches to Learning (SAL) theory provides a means to consider literature that is relevant in understanding the motives and strategies that these students bring to New Zealand and the process of change in a new learning environment. This knowledge may allow tertiary educators to consider their role in facilitating desirable approaches to learning in diverse student groups.
