Regional inequality: An analysis under the core–peripheral model

Desmet, Gumpert, and Ort?n have analyzed regional development using the Ricardian model or the Heckscher–Ohlin theorem. However, aspects such as consideration of combined wages, substitution elasticities, marginal costs, fixed costs, and number of companies were completely ignored. This study investigates the underdevelopment of regions in light of Krugman`s core–peripheral model. The extension of the model is intended to analyze the aspects that have so far been ignored and their influence on the benefits of the two regions. The following aspects characterize the model. Two regions with two sectors are considered for the model. The regions are characterized by different technological equipment. The first region is industrial. The second region has an agricultural character. When a new technology is available, both regions can benefit under certain conditions. The financial transfers lead to a convergence of wages.     

An Expert System for the Diagnose of peripheral Nerovus Conduction

To promote automation of diagnoses for the pherpheral nervous conduction,byartificial in telligence technique,an expert system of diagnose is formed. This expert system is madefrom the experiences of the soecialists in the field,which constitute the rcasoning rules and k nowl-edge-based of the system,and the database managemnt system.The tests show that the efficiencyand correctness are obviously improved.     

Effects of perioperative saphenous and sciatic nerve blocks,lumbosacral epidural or morphine–lidocaine–ketamine infusion on postoperative pain and sedation in dogs undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy

ObjectiveTo compare the quality of postoperative analgesia and sedation after preoperative saphenous and sciatic nerve blockade, preoperative lumbosacral epidural injection and perioperative intravenous (IV) morphine, lidocaine and ketamine infusions in dogs undergoing stifle arthroscopy and tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) under general anesthesia.Study designProspective, blinded, randomized, clinical comparison study.AnimalsA total of 45 dogs weighing 33.9 (15.9–56.7) kg and aged 5.2 (1.0–12.0) years, mean (range), undergoing elective unilateral TPLO for spontaneous cranial cruciate ligament rupture.MethodsClient-owned dogs were enrolled. Dogs were randomly assigned to one of three groups: group MLK, perioperative IV morphine, lidocaine and ketamine infusion; group EPID, lumbosacral epidural with ropivacaine and morphine; or group SSNB, saphenous and sciatic nerve blockade with ropivacaine. Routine stifle arthroscopy followed by TPLO surgery was performed. Sedation and pain scores were assessed at 0, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours following extubation. Rescue analgesia was administered as prescribed by Glasgow composite pain score–short form score >5.ResultsSedation scores for MLK were higher than EPID and SSNB. Pain scores for SSNB were lower than those for EPID and MLK. No significant differences were found in anesthesia duration or surgery duration among groups. No dogs required rescue analgesia.Conclusions and clinical relevanceAlthough analgesia was adequate in all groups, the best combination of analgesia without increased sedation was recorded for SSNB.     

Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, leukocytes secrete immunoreactive adrenal corticotropin hormone (ACTH)

The interrelationships between the neuroendocrine and immune systems are becoming more understood, at least in mammalian systems. The most characterized of these relationships is that of hormonal signaling within the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. CNS-perceived signals stimulate the release of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) which in turn stimulates the release of pituitary corticotropin (ACTH) and ultimately the release of adrenal-cortex-derived corticosteroids. We demonstrate that channel catfish peripheral blood mononuclear cells, a channel catfish B-cell line (1G8) and a T-cell line (28S.1), constitutively and in response to CRF, secrete a molecule that is reactive with a mammalian RIA for ACTH (irACTH). The T-cell line was the most responsive to CRH and may provide a valuable model for understanding the interrelationships between the neuroendocrine and immune systems in lower vertebrates. Lymphoid derived ACTH, or ACTH-like products, in fish, as well as higher vertebrates, may represent a paracrine or autocrine control on lymphocyte function and immune regulation.     

淋巴细胞转化试验在鸭体上的应用——Ⅱ.鸭瘟病毒对鸭外周血淋巴细胞转化能力的影响

试验鸭32只分4组,第1组接种鸭瘟强毒,第2组接种鸭瘟弱毒,第3组先接种鸭瘟弱毒,2周后再接种鸭瘟强毒,第4组为对照。采用外周血淋巴细胞转化试验,检测鸭瘟病毒对鸭外周血淋巴细胞转化能力的影响,结果鸭瘟强毒和鸭瘟弱毒对鸭淋巴细胞的PHA反应性均有抑制作用。其中鸭瘟强毒的作用迅速而且强烈,在很短的时间内即造成宿主淋巴细胞对PHA的反应剧烈下降,并很快导致动物死亡,出现典型的鸭瘟病变,但也有个别鸭能够耐过强毒的攻击而生存下来,耐过鸭淋巴细胞对PHA的反应性逐渐恢复正常,剖检未见有鸭瘟病变;鸭瘟弱毒的抑制作用是暂时的,宿主淋巴细胞对PHA的反应性很快即恢复正常,剖检也未见有鸭瘟病变;对于接种鸭瘟弱毒以后再攻强毒的鸭,其对PHA刺激的反应性未受到影响,攻毒后2周,宿主还表现出对PHA的反应能力有增强的趋势,剖检未见有鸭瘟病变。此结果与其他病毒所致的PHA反应抑制和加强作用相类似。

传染性法氏囊病疫苗免疫种鸡后子代雏鸡的免疫学变化

应用现代免疫学新技术对传染性法氏囊病 (IBD)疫苗免疫种鸡后 ,其子代雏鸡外周血液和免疫器官组织的免疫学变化进行了动态研究。结果发现 :传染性法氏囊病疫苗免疫种鸡后 ,其子代雏鸡外周血液 T、B细胞数量和 Ig G,Ig M,Ig A含量及免疫器官组织的 T细胞、Ig G,Ig M,Ig A抗体生成细胞数量均不同程度地高于未免疫的相应对照雏鸡 ,表明 IBD疫苗免疫母鸡后 ,子代雏鸡外周血液和免疫器官组织的体液免疫和细胞免疫功能明显增强。而传染性法氏囊病超强毒攻击子代雏鸡后 ,未免疫的子代雏鸡 ,外周血液和免疫器官组织的上述各项指标均明显低于疫苗免疫的子代雏鸡 ,这与 IBDV感染雏鸡后 ,其免疫器官组织严重损害 ,淋巴细胞变性坏死等有关 ,也是导致感染雏鸡免疫抑制的基础
