About

Li Min is an Associate Professor in the UCLA Department of Anthropology. His major field of research is the archaeology of prehistoric and Bronze Age China, with a focus on state formation, social memory, storytelling, place-making, and religious and social responses to climatic change. He also studies the maritime archaeology of the Asiatic Trade in the Early Modern Era (13th to 17th centuries), using research on ceramic production and trade in coastal China and Southeast Asia to document the transformations in material culture brought by the inauguration of early global trade. He teaches graduate seminars in archaeology theories and several undergraduate courses on anthropological archaeology and ancient civilizations of China. These classes are offered through Anthropology, Asian Languages and Cultures, and the Interdepartmental Program of Archaeology. Li Min is also co-director of the Wen-Si River Basin archaeological survey project, a collaboration between UCLA and archaeologists in China. His most recent book is 'Social Memory and State Formation in Early China,' published by Cambridge University Press in 2018. His research interests include social archaeology and cultural history of continental East Asia focusing on the emergence of early civilizations in Neolithic and Bronze Age China, historical anthropology, material culture, and conceptions of the past in early modern China, as well as landscape archaeology integrating systematic survey, analysis of archaeological…

• Association of Intensive vs Standard Blood Pressure Control With Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers of Alzheimer Disease

  JAMA Neurology · 2021 · 69 citations

  Importance: Meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials have indicated that improved hypertension control reduces the risk for cognitive impairment and dementia. However, it is unclear to what extent pathways reflective of Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology are affected by hypertension control. Objective: To evaluate the association of intensive blood pressure control on AD-related brain biomarkers. Design, Setting, and Participants: This is a substudy of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention T…

  preprintOpen access

  <sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Long-term remote patient monitoring, particularly of weight, pulse, and blood pressure, has been shown to significantly reduce mortality and hospitalization rates due to cardiovascular issues in heart failure patients. Despite its proven effectiveness, maintaining patient engagement in remote monitoring programs remains a challenge. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This study aims to evaluate the impact of two-way mobile text-based communication in prompting…

• Transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms by VA CLC residents: A multisite prospective study

  Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology · 2023-06-01

  articleOpen access

  Background: Veterans Health Administration (VHA) community living centers (CLCs) provide postacute and long-term care. CLC veterans visit myriad locations outside their rooms (eg, rehabilitation, dialysis). Pathogen transmission during out-of-room visits is unknown. Methods: We recruited newly admitted veterans at 3 CLCs. After obtaining informed consent, we cultured nares, groin, hands, and 7 surfaces in the patient rooms. We accompanied veterans to up to 5 out-of-room visits and cultured patie…
