Assessment of Efficacy and Quality of Two Albendazole Brands Commonly Used against Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections in School Children in Jimma Town,Ethiopia

BackgroundThere is a worldwide upscale in mass drug administration (MDA) programs to control the morbidity caused by soil-transmitted helminths (STHs): Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and hookworm. Although anthelminthic drugs which are used for MDA are supplied by two pharmaceutical companies through donation, there is a wide range of brands available on local markets for which the efficacy against STHs and quality remain poorly explored. In the present study, we evaluated the drug efficacy and quality of two albendazole brands (Bendex and Ovis) available on the local market in Ethiopia.Conclusion/SignificanceThe study revealed that differences in efficacy between the two brands of albendazole (ABZ) tablets against hookworm are linked to the differences in the in-vitro drug release profile. Differences in uptake and metabolism of this benzimidazole drug among different helminth species may explain that this efficacy difference was only observed in hookworms and not in the two other species. The results of the present study underscore the importance of assessing the chemical and physicochemical quality of drugs before conducting efficacy assessment in any clinical trials to ensure appropriate therapeutic efficacy and to exclude poor drug quality as a factor of reduced drug efficacy other than anthelminthic resistance. Overall, this paper demonstrates that “all medicines are not created equal”.     

保护性耕作对稻田土壤有机质的影响

研究使用常规犁耕-休闲(DTF),常规犁耕-小麦(DTW),保护耕作-休闲(CTF),保护耕作-小麦(CTW)4个处理,评价连续实验10a后保护性耕作对稻作区SOM的影响。结果表明:垄作、免耕和小麦种植的结合是稻作区一种较好的保护性耕作实践。它不仅显著增加SOM在土壤表层的聚集,而且它也通过改变SOM的组成和结构显著影响土壤胡敏酸的光谱和热解特性。相比其他处理,垄作免耕(稻麦)在0～10cm土层拥有最多的SOM含量,但随着土层厚度的增加,这一含量下降的也较为迅速。垄作免耕(稻麦)土壤胡敏酸在波长665nm处的光密度为0.122,465nm处为0.705,而常规平作(中稻)在这两个波长处却分别为0.062和0.321。垄作免耕土壤胡敏酸DTA曲线在360～365℃处放热峰的焓变值比常规平作低,1000～1050cm-1吸收峰常规平作也比垄作免耕强。垄作免耕土壤腐殖质的氧化稳定系数增高,表明长期垄作免耕土壤腐殖酸的缩合度增高,芳构化程度增强。通过保护性耕作和作物实践可以管理稻田土壤,维持充分的SOM积累,缓解土壤有机碳的丢失。     

重庆岩溶区土壤景观多样性

不同土壤发生类型塑造了异质的景观格局,而土壤类型上不同的土地利用实践又对原有景观格局进行重构。研究的目的是利用景观指数识别重庆岩溶区土壤多样性的景观特征。结果表明：重庆市岩溶区土壤景观多样化和空间异质化程度不高,各景观分布比例不均匀;土壤景观嵌块体呈现复杂的几何形状,黄壤、石灰土和黄棕壤是主要的土壤类型;除山地草甸土以林地和草地,棕壤以林地为主要景观外,其余9种土壤类型都以耕地和林地为主要景观;农、林用地在重庆岩溶区土壤景观空间格局的结构和功能中起主导作用;但因各类土壤性质和分布特点的不同,耕地和林地在各类土壤上的分配比例上存在明显差异;人类活动在诱导耕地嵌块体数急剧增多的同时,居民工矿用地、林地、未利用地嵌块体数目也相应增加;研究可为岩溶区土地利用决策与调控提供科学依据,加深人们对岩溶区土壤多样性的理解。     

耕作方式对紫色水稻土轻组有机碳的影响

以位于西南大学实验农场的长期免耕试验田为研究对象,通过0—60cm分层采集土壤样品的方法,探讨了不同耕作方式———冬水田平作(DP)、水旱轮作(SH)、垄作免耕(LM)及垄作翻耕(LF)对土壤轻组有机碳的影响。结果表明,重组有机碳是土壤总有机碳的主体,约占土壤总有机碳的69.56%—95.66%,在土壤剖面上随土壤深度的增加其分配比例逐渐升高;其次是自由轻组有机碳,约占土壤总有机碳的5.03%—26.43%,从土壤表层向下,其分配比例迅速下降;闭合轻组有机碳最低,仅占土壤总有机碳的1.37%—4.93%,其分配比例随土壤深度的变化不明显。在0—60 cm土壤深度内,不同耕作方式下自由轻组有机碳的平均含量为LM(4.36 g/kg)>DP(2.11 g/kg)>LF(1.74 g/kg)>SH(1.46 g/kg),相应的有机碳分配比例分别为17.1%、14.0%、12.2%和11.3%;闭合轻组有机碳的平均含量为LM(0.82 g/kg)>DP(0.51 g/kg)>LF(0.36 g/kg)>SH(0.34g/kg),相应的有机碳分配比例分别为3.36%、3.45%、2.71%和3.00%。因此,在西南地区紫色水稻土上实行垄作免耕能提高轻组有机碳的含量及其分配比例,从而改善土壤有机碳质量。另外,与土壤总有机碳、重组有机碳及闭合轻组有机碳相比,自由轻组有机碳对耕作方式的变化最敏感,是指示土壤有机碳变化的良好指标。

采用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)对常绿阔叶林灌木层广布种川鄂连蕊茶(Camellia rosthorniana)在缙云山3个群落类型(毛竹林、针阔混交林和常绿阔叶林)中的遗传结构和DNA多样性进行了研究。10个引物共扩增出138个产物,其中115个是多态性的,多态位点比率为83．33％。Shannon指数估算的3个种群的遗传多样性为常绿阔叶林0．3345,毛竹林0．3148,针阔混交林0．3085,遗传分化为8．12％;Nei指数计算的3个种群的基因多样性为常绿阔叶林0．2095,毛竹林0．1981,针阔混交林0．1934,遗传分化为7．51％。种群间遗传距离在0．0177～0．0393之间。川鄂连蕊茶在3个群落中的种群大小和生长状况不同,各种群遗传多样性的高低可能是对所处群落生境的适应。     

不同耕作方式对稻田土壤动物、微生物及酶活性的影响研究

以长期定位试验为基本材料,研究了不同耕作方式对土壤动物、微生物及酶活性的影响．结果表明,0～20cm土壤层内大、中、小型土壤动物垄作免耕为14700个·m^-22,冬水免耕为10450个·m^-22水旱轮作为7950个·m^-22常规平作为6275个·m^-22,垄作免耕处理土壤动物的数量是常规平作的2．34倍．土壤微生物数量和土壤微生物生物量氮因季节而异,总体上是春秋多而夏季少,土壤酶活性表现出表层高,底层低．土壤微生物数量、土壤微生物生物量氮及土壤酶活性不同处理间仍是垄作免耕>水旱轮作>冬水免耕>常规平作,表明垄作免耕有利于改善稻田土壤生态环境。有利于土壤肥力的提高。     

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification with different mixed nitrogen loads by a hypothermia aerobic bacterium

Microorganism with simultaneous nitrification and denitrification ability plays a significant role in nitrogen removal process, especially in the eutrophic waters with excessive nitrogen loads. The nitrogen removal capacity of microorganism may suffer from low temperature or nitrite nitrogen source. In this study, a hypothermia aerobic nitrite-denitrifying bacterium, Pseudomonas tolaasii strain Y-11, was selected to determine the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification ability with mixed nitrogen source at 15 °C. The sole nitrogen removal efficiencies of strain Y-11 in simulated wastewater were obtained. After 24 h of incubation at 15 °C, the ammonium nitrogen fell below the detection limit from an initial value of 10.99 mg/L. Approximately 88.0 ± 0.33% of nitrate nitrogen was removed with the initial concentration of 11.78 mg/L and the nitrite nitrogen was not detected with the initial concentration of 10.75 mg/L after 48 h of incubation at 15 °C. Additionally, the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification nitrogen removal ability of P. tolaasii strain Y-11 was evaluated using low concentration of mixed NH₄⁺-N and NO₃^?–N/NO₂^?–N (about 5 mg/L-N each) and high concentration of mixed NH₄⁺–N and NO₃^?–N/NO₂^?–N (about 100 mg/L-N each). There was no nitrite nitrogen accumulation at the time of evaluation. The results demonstrated that P. tolaasii strain Y-11 had higher simultaneous nitrification and denitrification capacity with low concentration of mixed inorganic nitrogen sources and may be applied in low temperature wastewater treatment.
