Recurrent Temporary Paralysis Reported After Human Rabies Post‐Exposure Prophylaxis

Adverse events can occur after rabies post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and linkage to causality is often difficult to determine. We report a case of recurrent temporary paralysis that began immediately after the initiation of rabies PEP in a man exposed to a bat. The recurrent temporary paralysis first occurred in the patient after his initial dose and then again after day 3 of his rabies PEP. The PEP was terminated prior to a serologic response. The patient continued to experience numerous discrete episodes of temporary paralysis for over two years.     

基于GIS空间分析技术的人为干扰强度火险评价研究

区域森林火灾的人为干扰主要分为人为负干扰和人为正干扰。通过基于GIS的空间分析方法,对人为火源的危险程度和人为正干扰的影响进行了分析与评价,确定了人为负干扰火险指标为农事烧荒、农事炼山造林、上坟、旅游与基本活动,人为正干扰火险指标为投入人力和投入资金,并确定了指标权重、指标度量算法和评价模型,并在实验区进行了验证,以火险等级区划图的形式进行了结果评价。     

福建寿宁县兽害猖獗的成因及对策初探

1998～2006年,以寿宁县为调查对象,运用机械抽样法调查样带69条,运用访问调查法调查猎户农户100余户,运用点面互换法调查全县范围内农田作物受害程度。结果表明,全县近半数的村,15%的耕地存在兽害,99%的兽害及其损失源于野猪的活动。分析表明,兽害的成因有种群爆发、物种灭绝和生态系统衰败诸多因素,而人为干扰是各种现象的起因。最后提出治理山区兽害的对策,尤其应加强生态系统恢复和自然保护区建设。     

Socio-economic significance of reed forests in a rural community: A case study from the greater Sylhet Region of Bangladesh

The reed forests that are the subject of this study are scattered over five thanas of the Sunamganj and Sylhet Districts of the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh. Their total area is 23,590 ha and they have great ecological, economic, commercial and socio-economic importance due to the diversified resources they supply. However, the forests are commonly encroached on by local people who are perceived to be seriously depleting the resource. This paper deals with the socio-economic status of the people residing near these reed forests, and examines their dependency on the resources provided by the reed forests. A socio-economic survey, participatory rural appraisal and interviews were used to obtain baseline data of the reed forest resource and the local communities. The study reveals that the communities in the study region have higher income than other areas of Bangladesh. Most survey respondents have other occupations in addition to farming. The literacy rate is 28.8%. Among the illiterate, 68% engage in collecting reeds. Although the Forest Department has a management plan for sustainable use of the reed forests, encroachers receive backing from political leaders and local elites, so their eviction is difficult. In order to achieve long-term productivity and sustainability from the reed forests, this study recommends a strategy of developing an integrated joint management plan between the Forest Department and the local people.     

Traditional homegardens of Kerala: a sustainable human ecosystem

An analogue approach to analysing the traditional homegardens of Keralavis-à-vis natural climax ecosystems is adopted. The traditional homegarden is apparently a climax ecosystem, where ecological succession is consciously manipulated by human beings. High intensity of vertical and horizontal space use, the highly dynamic chronological structure and the capacity to perform essential ecological processes make this ecosystem relatively sustainable. Homegardens in Kerala effectively serve as human ecosystems with their low input demand, staggered supply of outputs, and enhancement of habitat quality. However, recent trends in agrarian structure and the high market orientation exert pressures on the homegarden, and its sustainability as a human ecosystem is in question.This joint paper is based on part of the research conducted by Darley Jose for the degree of M.Sc. (Natural Resource Management) at the Agricultural University of Norway under the guidance of N. Shanmugaratnam.     

Schisandrin B protects against solar irradiation-induced oxidative injury in BJ human fibroblasts

The effects of schisandrin B (Sch B) and its analogs on solar irradiation-induced oxidative injury were examined in BJ human fibroblasts. Sch B and schisandrin C (Sch C) increased cellular reduced glutathione (GSH) level and protected against solar irradiation-induced oxidative injury. The photoprotection was paralleled by decreases in the elastases-type protease activity and matrix-metalloproteinases-1 expression in solar-irradiated fibroblasts. The cytochrome P-450-mediated metabolism of Sch B or Sch C caused ROS production. The results suggest that by virtue of its pro-oxidant action and the subsequent glutathione antioxidant response, Sch B or Sch C may offer the prospect of preventing skin photo-aging.     

人为干扰对额济纳胡杨林群落组成及更新的影响

额济纳绿洲是我国西北干旱地区的一道强大的生态防线。但由于水资源匮乏和人为干扰影响,绿洲中胡杨林已严重退化。我们认为人为干扰会对胡杨群落的组成和更新造成影响。应用双向指示种分析法(TWINSPAN)和典范对应分析(CCA),从人为干扰角度对额济纳不同地区胡杨群落进行了分类和排序。结果表明:人为干扰会影响群落林下物种多样性和根孽幼苗生长情况;林下物种多样性主要受旅游干扰影响,并与总干扰强度的关系遵循"中度干扰假说";根孽幼苗生长情况与放牧干扰呈负相关,当根孽幼苗数多的时候,一定程度上能够抵御外界干扰对其生长状况的影响;适度的人为干扰可以增加物种多样性,但要保证胡杨林的繁殖更新,需要以消除放牧干扰影响为前提。     

城市人居环境与经济发展协调度评价研究——以乌鲁木齐市为例

选取与城市人居环境和经济发展水平密切相关的23个指标建立综合评价指标体系,然后利用综合性协调度评价方法构建协调度模型,定量分析两系统的协调度,并对各年份的协调度进行等级划分。结果表明：乌鲁木齐市1998-2002年间人居环境与经济发展协调度均处于低水平的协调阶段,经济发展相对滞后,但是有明显的上升趋势,并于2003年达...
