Soil Salinization in Some Irrigated Areas of the Kingdom of Bahrain

Monitoring and assessment of agricultural land degradation is of vital importance for better land and water management planning and reclamation. It requires setting baseline information and basic analysis at specific time and space. About 33 geo-referenced soil sampling spots were selected in two agricultural production locations in the Kingdom of Bahrain to assess the status and preliminary causes of land degradation. Soil samples were taken from 13 sites in Diraz location while 19 samples were taken from Budayyi location. The samples were taken to 90 cm depth at 30 cm intervals. Standard procedures were followed to determine soil physiochemical properties. In addition, field observations on farm condition, distance from the sea, method of irrigation and irrigation water source were taken. Some of the soil samples were deliberately taken from outside the irrigated basins among trees compared with samples taken from inside the actively growing area for comparison. The results indicated that the salinity level was significantly （P 〈 0.001） higher at the 0-30 cm soil depth compared with 30-60 cm or 60-90 cm depths in both locations. The distance from the sea did not show clear correlation with surface soil salinity in Budayyi area compared with Diraz. Both locations showed significantly higher salinity levels on samples taken outside the actively growing areas compared with those taken from within. The effect is more prominent at the 0-30 cm depth. The observed variability on salinity levels may be attributed to farm management practices and deteriorating quality of ground water. Thus, agricultural land degradation in Bahrain cannot be attributed to ground water deterioration alone. The use of tertiary treated sewage water （TSE） may ease the pressure on ground water, but the pH of the TSE should be carefully monitored and managed with proper studies on leaching requirements to avoid further salinity complications.

普瑞巴林治疗不宁腿综合征的Meta分析

目的:系统评价普瑞巴林治疗不宁腿综合征(Restless leg syndrome,RLS)的疗效与安全性。方法:在Pubmed,EMBASE,OVID和中国期刊全文数据库(CNKI)中检索关于普瑞巴林治疗RLS的随机对照研究。分别对普瑞巴林和安慰剂组以国际RLS研究组评分量表(International RLS Study Group Rating Scale,IRLS)、总睡眠时间(Total Sleep Time,TST)、改变的加权均差(Weighted Mean Difference,WMD)和临床总体印象量表-总结改善(Clinical Global Impression-Improvement,CGI-I)显著率的相对危险度(Relative Risk,RR)为疗效评估指标,同时以不良事件的相对危险度为安全性评估指标。结果:最终纳入3项研究,共556位参与者,其中普瑞巴林组326例,安慰剂组220例。Meta分析显示普瑞巴林组相对于对照组的IRLS评分和TST的WMD分别为3.85(Z=5.47,P0.00001)、44.57(Z=6.07,P0.00001),CGI-I显著率RR=1.35(Z=4.76,P0.00001);两组在不良事件RR=1.25(Z=0.93,P=0.35)。结论:普瑞巴林是治疗RLS的有效且安全的药物。

“巴林特小组”在医患沟通中的运用

巴林特小组(Balint groups)是一个重要的国际上知名的医生培训方法。巴林特小组是由匈牙利心理学家、精神病学家米歇尔·巴林特Michael Balint于20世纪50年代在英国伦敦创建。巴林特主张让医生在短时间内理解病人,理解医生自己的行为对病人造成的影响,并理解病人对医生心理的影响。通过开展巴林特小组活动实践,提高各科医师对患者心理问题的认知,改善医患的关系。
