楝科物质对亚洲玉米螟幼虫取食和生长发育的影响

近年来植物成分对昆虫行为和生长发育的影响很受人们重视。对印楝(Azadirachta indica)的研究证明其含有多种杀虫物质(Schmutterer和Ascher等,1981)。国外报道与印楝为近缘种的苦楝(Melia azadirach)也对昆虫有拒食和干扰生长发育的作用(Schmutterer,1981;Tu和Rueda等,1981),并从中分离出了多种活性物质(Cox,1981)。我国也曾研究应用苦楝防治害虫(中国土农药志编辑委员会,1959),最近证明川楝(Melia toosendan)中成分对水稻三化螟有内吸致毒和拒食作用(赵善欢和张

关于茭白黑粉菌的正名问题

茭白黑粉菌在文献中出现Yenia esculenta(P.Henn.)Liou及Ustilago esculenta P.Henn.两个名字。现经形态发生学的研究以明确新名字是否有效。此菌冬孢子没有休眠期,孢子成熟后在适宜的环境中即可萌发。萌发的最适pH值为6;最适温度为25％;不需要外界光的诱导,在黑暗条件下也能正常萌发;培养基中的营养成份对孢子萌发的速率有一定影响。冬孢子在不同的环境条件下,其萌发形态及方式都是稳定的:孢子萌发时产生有隔的担子或先菌丝(promycelium)。该先菌丝起初可以是无隔的,但生长到一定程度,便产生分隔,分隔多为2—4个。初生的先菌丝和小孢子是单核的,但成熟的先菌丝、小孢子及短菌丝细胞内均是双核的。可以认为,该菌的双核期在整个生活史中占有相当长的时间,它只有短暂的单核期。没有发现先菌丝、小孢子彼此之间或相互间融合的现象;未见到双核的融合及减数分裂过程。茭白黑粉菌在人工组合培养基上生成厚壁的孢子,较自然界中的冬孢子为大,但萌发方式则相同。最后作者等认为茭白黑粉菌仍应保留在Ustilago属中,而Yenia esculenta(P.Henn.)Liou的名字是无效的。

Stochastic-rheological Simulation of Free-fall Arm Impact in Children: Application to Playground Injuries

The aim of this study was to develop and pilot a stochastic-rheological biomechanical model to investigate the mechanics of impact fractures in the upper limbs of children who fall in everyday situations, such as when playing on playground equipment. The rheological aspect of the model characterises musculo-skeletal tissues in terms of inertial, elastic and viscous parameters. The stochastic aspect of the model allows natural variation of children's musculo-skeletal mechanical properties to be accounted for in the analysis. The relationship of risk factors, such as fall height, impact surface, child mass and bone density, to the probability of sustaining an injury in playground equipment falls were examined and found to closely match findings in epidemiological, clinical and biomechanical literature. These results suggest that the stochastic-rheological model is a useful tool for the evaluation of arm fracture risk in children. Once fully developed, information from this model will provide the basis for recommendations for modifications to playground equipment and surface standards.     

Digestive and metabolic utilization of lauric,myristic and stearic acid in cows,and associated effects on milk fat quality

A study was carried out to examine the effect of dietary supplementation of oregano essential oil on performance of broiler chickens experimentally infected with Eimeria tenella at 14 days of age. A total of 120 day-old Cobb-500 chicks separated into 4 equal groups with three replicates each, were used in this study. Two groups, one infected with 5·10⁴ sporulated oocysts of E. tenella and the other not, were given a basal diet and served as controls. The other two groups also infected with E. tenella were administered diets supplemented with oregano essential oil at a level of 300 mg/kg, or with the anticoccidial lasalocid at 75 mg/kg. Following this infection, survival rate, bloody diarrhoea and oocysts excretion as well as lesion score were determined. Throughout the experimental period of 42 days, body weight gain and feed intake were recorded weekly, and feed conversion ratios were calculated. Two weeks after the infection with E. tenella supplementation with dietary oregano oil resulted in body weight gains and feed conversion ratios not differing from the non-infected group, but higher than those of the infected control group and lower than those of the lasalocid group. These parameters correspond with the extent of bloody diarrhoea, survival rate, lesion score and oocyst numbers and indicated that oregano essential oil exerted an anticoccidial effect against E. tenella, which was, however, lower than that exhibited by lasalocid.     

Delay and failure in treatment seeking after first onset of mental disorders in the World Health Organization's World Mental Health Survey Initiative

Data are presented on patterns of failure and delay in making initial treatment contact after first onset of a mental disorder in 15 countries in the World Health Organization (WHO)''s World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys. Representative face-to-face household surveys were conducted among 76,012 respondents aged 18 and older in Belgium, Colombia, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, People''s Republic of China (Beijing and Shanghai), Spain, and the United States. The WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) was used to assess lifetime DSM-IV anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders. Ages of onset for individual disorders and ages of first treatment contact for each disorder were used to calculate the extent of failure and delay in initial help seeking. The proportion of lifetime cases making treatment contact in the year of disorder onset ranged from 0.8 to 36.4% for anxiety disorders, from 6.0 to 52.1% for mood disorders, and from 0.9 to 18.6% for substance use disorders. By 50 years, the proportion of lifetime cases making treatment contact ranged from 15.2 to 95.0% for anxiety disorders, from 7.9 to 98.6% for mood disorders, and from 19.8 to 86.1% for substance use disorders. Median delays among cases eventually making contact ranged from 3.0 to 30.0 years for anxiety disorders, from 1.0 to 14.0 years for mood disorders, and from 6.0 to 18.0 years for substance use disorders. Failure and delays in treatment seeking were generally greater in developing countries, older cohorts, men, and cases with earlier ages of onset. These results show that failure and delays in initial help seeking are pervasive problems worldwide. Interventions to ensure prompt initial treatment contacts are needed to reduce the global burdens and hazards of untreated mental disorders.
