Serologic and molecular survey of horses to Coxiella burnetii in East of Iran a highly endemic area

There are few reports about Q fever in horse populations worldwide. This study aimed to detect the C. burnetii infection by serologic and molecular confirmation using commercial ELISA kit and real-time PCR in the East of Iran a region highly endemic. A total of 177 blood samples and 115 vaginal swabs were randomly collected from horses in East of Iran. The sera samples were analyzed for anti C.burnetii Ig G antibodies by a commercial ELISA kit and nucleic acid extraxted from vaginal samples were used to determine the C. burnetii DNA by real-time PCR assay. Antibodies were detected in 5.64 % (10/177) of sera samples and C. burnetii DNA was detected in 7.82 % (9/115) of horse vaginal samples. There was no significant difference in seroprevalence in different sex, age and breed groups. Our study showed that horses could be considered as a mild potential reservoir of C. burnetii which may be effective on horse health status. However, additional studies are needed to assess whether the horse could be considered as a relevant transmission risk indicator for Q fever.     

Mapping the current and future distributions of Onosma species endemic to Iran

Climate change may cause shifts in the natural range of species especially for those that are geographically restricted and/or endemic species. In this study, the spatial distribution of five endemic and threatened species belonging to the genus Onosma (including O. asperrima, O. bisotunensis, O. kotschyi, O. platyphylla, and O. straussii) was investigated under present and future climate change scenarios: RCP2.6 (RCP, representative concentration pathway; optimistic scenario) and RCP8.5 (pessimistic scenario) for the years 2050 and 2080 in Iran. Analysis was conducted using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to provide a basis for the protection and conservation of these species. Seven environmental variables including aspect, depth of soil, silt content, slope, annual precipitation, minimum temperature of the coldest month, and annual temperature range were used as main predictors in this study. The model output for the potential habitat suitability of the studied species showed acceptable performance for all species (i.e., the area under the curve (AUC)>0.800). According to the models generated by MaxEnt, the potential current patterns of the species were consistent with the observed areas of distributions. The projected climate maps under optimistic and pessimistic scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5, respectively) of 2050 and 2080 resulted in reductions and expansions as well as positive range changes for all species in comparison to their current predicted distributions. Among all species, O. bisotunensis showed the most significant and highest increase under the pessimistic scenario of 2050 and 2080. Finally, the results of this study revealed that the studied plant species have shown an acute adaptability to environmental changes. The results can provide useful information to managers to apply appropriate strategies for the management and conservation of these valuable Iranian medicinal and threatened plant species in the future.     

我国中央山系东段演化及其对黄河河道及东平湖的影响

根据2603a有史记载以来黄河河道变迁和春秋以来东平湖演变历史，本文提出我国中央山系东段碰撞和松弛导致的地势上升和下降是影响黄河河道变迁和东平湖演变的重要因素。山系碰撞上升造成黄河河道向北西迁移，东平湖湿地北漫；山系松弛下降导致黄河河道向东南迁移，东平湖南泛。     

Magnetic resonance imaging of a brain abscess in a 10-month-old filly

The purpose of this paper was to correlate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of a mature brain abscess in a horse with histopathologic alterations of brain tissue. Eight months after the onset of clinical signs, MRI of the brain of a 10-month-old filly was performed. A large space-occupying lesion in the right cerebral hemisphere was identified. This space-occupying lesion was delineated by a thick and well-defined capsule that was isointense to brain parenchyma on the T1-weighted images and with a markedly hypointense on the T2-weighted images. The identification of such a capsule is highly diagnostic of a mature brain abscess. The lesion seen on MR images was confirmed at necropsy where a large abscess of the right hemisphere was observed. Streptococcus zooepidemicus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from the abscess. Based on histopathologic examination, the signal characteristics of the capsule on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images were found to be due to the presence of numerous hemosiderin-laden macrophages. These results are in agreement with previous studies on human patients. This report confirms the value of MRI in the diagnosis of equine brain diseases.

内蒙古中南部先秦两汉时期人群龋病与生业模式初探

本文对内蒙古中南部先秦两汉时期11组古代人群的龋病状况做了统计与分析,在与我国北方地区16组古代人骨材料对比的基础上,进一步讨论了其生业模式与龋患的关系。龋病的罹患情况是反映人群摄入碳水化合物含量的有效指标,龋病与人类社会生产力发展以及农业出现相关,内蒙古中南部地区先秦两汉时期不同生业模式人群的碳水化合物食物摄取量的多寡决定了其龋齿发病率的高低,以农业经济为主的人群龋齿发病率最高,并随着时代发展而进一步增加;以畜牧或渔猎采集经济为生的古代人群龋病发病率较低;农牧兼营的混合经济人群龋齿发病率居中,并且因农业经济所占比重的不同,其变异范围较大。     

国家中心城市基础设施承载力评价及障碍因素诊断

[目的]定量分析国家中心城市2006—2017年基础设施承载力的具体情况,为促进国家中心城市建设良性健康发展提供科学依据。[方法]选取2006—2017年国家中心城市基础设施承载力面板数据,从压力和状态两个层面构建城市基础设施承载力评价指标体系。运用熵权TOPSIS方法和障碍度模型对2006—2017年国家中心城市基础设施承载力和障碍因素进行评价和诊断,并基于基础设施承载力评价结果,定量测度基础设施承载力状况并诊断其障碍因子。[结果] 2006—2010年国家中心城市的基础设施承载力水平总体上大幅度提升,2011—2017年基础设施承载力的增长速度有所减缓,北京、上海、成都、郑州、西安的基础设施承载力大幅度提高,广州市的基础设施承载力改善幅度最小;随着国家中心城市的人口持续增加,基础设施的承载压力也持续增加,通过障碍度模型分析发现制约国家中心城市基础设施承载力的主要因素为人均绿地面积、人均家庭年生活用水量和城市移动电话普及率。[结论]随着中国经济的发展,中心城市对人口的虹吸作用越加强烈,人均绿地面积、城市移动电话普及率以及人均家庭年生活用水量可能与城市的经济与人口规模产生脱钩现象,无法满足人们日常的基础设施需求。
