长安区7—18岁农村学生形态发育10年变化分析

目的分析长安区农村学生身体形态发育的10年动态变化和规律,为学校卫生管理部门制定相应政策提供科学的依据。方法采取分层、整群随机抽样方法,选取长安区农村学生1990年与1999年身高、体重两项指标进行统计分析。结果10年间长安区农村学生身体形态发育有明显改善,7—18岁男、女学生身高10年平均增长2.23cm、1.93cm,体重平均增长1.74kg、1.21kg,其增长幅度均低于全国农村学生水平。1999年最大年增长值和最大年增长率均低于1990年,身高、体重发育高峰年龄女生分别提前0.77岁、0.32岁,男生推后0.52岁、0.60岁。结论本地区农村学生身体形态发育仍处于生长长期趋势中,但增长速度已经减慢,学生生长发育的潜力有待充分发挥。     

哈萨克族学生体质发育状况的10年比较分析

报道新疆阿勒泰地区1995年2589名城镇7—18岁哈萨克族(哈族)中小学生身高、体重、胸围、坐高、肩宽、骨盆宽6项体质发育指标的调查结果。男女生体质发育指标随年龄增加而增长,各项指标的年均增长值皆为男生大于女生。与1985年比较,哈族学生的身高、体重、胸围皆有不同程度增长。哈族男女生的身高突增年龄仍分别为14岁和10岁,但是其身高增长却不伴有相应比例的坐高增长,女生部分年龄组的肩宽和男女生各年龄组的骨盆宽呈现负增长,提示哈族学生的体型与10年前相比已经开始有所改变。

不同龄级划分方法对种群存活分析的影响——以水灾迹地油松和华山松种群生存分析为例

 生命表、存活曲线和生存分析是研究种群动态的重要工具,其关键就是科学正确地划分龄级。该文研究了水灾迹地不同龄级划分方法对油松（Pinus abulaeformis）和华山松（P. armandii）种群存活曲线和生存分析函数曲线的影响。华山松以实际年龄作为龄级划分指标时,存活曲线为Ⅱ型;地径和树高作为划分指标时,存活曲线为Ⅲ型。生存函数和累计死亡率函数也发生类似的类型变化。油松实际年龄、地径和树高作为龄级的划分指标时,存活曲线(Ⅱ型)、生存率函数和累计死亡率函数类型一致,均为直线型。死亡率函数和危险率函数在不同树种和不同龄级划分方法间不存在明显差异。因此,华山松地径和树高作为龄级划分的代用指标不可行,而油松可行。其主要原因是华山松树高和地径与年龄的关系为指数函数关系,而油松则为直线函数关系。在此基础上把华山松地径和树高取自然对数后重新划分龄级,则存活曲线关系在地径、树高和实际年龄之间不存在差异,均为Ⅱ型。从而得出结论,地径、树高和年龄之间线性关系与否是地径和树高作为实际年龄代用指标可行性和准确性的关键。因此,在植物种群统计研究中,大小作为龄级划分代用指标要慎用。在未来研究中,种群个体年龄和大小关系及其影响因素的研究对植物种群数量动态分析和种群统计学的发展具有重要意义。     

A survey on growth and sexual development of adolescent students in Changhua City: growth of body height and weight

In order to understand the physical growth and sexual development of contemporary adolescents, a cross-sectional survey was conducted during the period September 1983 to May 1984. The population came from all the pupils from 4th grade up, and all the junior and senior high students of Changhua City. By using stratified cluster sampling, 1419 boys and 1599 girls participated, ranging in age from 8 to 19 years. Body weight and height were measured. Growth spurt is a unique event during adolescence. It is well shown in the distance curves and pseudo-velocity curves of body height and weight. In boys, the growth spurt of height spanned from 12.0 to 14.8 years, with peak height velocity (PHV) at 13.5 years. In girls it was from 10.0 to 12.6 years and peaked at 11.5 years. The growth spurt of weight occurred from 12.0 to 15.9 years in boys with peak weight velocity (PWV) at 14.5 years, while girls had a growth spurt at 10.0-12.7 years with PWV at 11.5 years. Girls entered into the growth spurt about 2 years earlier, and also entered into PHV, PWV, two and three years earlier respectively than boys, while boys had a more intense and longer growth during the growth spurt than girls. Between 10.0-13.0 years girls were taller than boys, and between 12.0-13.0 years they were heavier than boys. However, from 13.5 years onward girls were soon surpassed by boys both in height and weight. Growth in height after 16.5 years in boys and after 15.5 in girls was minimal. Growth in weight in boys also became minimal after 16.5 years while girls weight even dropped a little bit after 16.5 years. At the mean age of 17.5 years, boys were 168.1 cm, girls were 156.2 cm in average, boys being 12 cm taller than girls after reaching their final height.     

Heritabilities and genetic correlations for estimated growth curve parameters in maritime pine

Height growth curves and several other characters were measured in five maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait) progeny tests aged from 18 to 27 years (about half the rotation age), with sample sizes of 272–1555 trees. These curves were fitted with a reparametrized Lundqvist-Matèrn sigmoidal growth function with global estimation of two of the four parameters. Each curve was characterized by two parameters:

the maximal growth rate (r), approximately proportional to the stem height at age 16 years, and essentially determined by the height increments around age 6 years.

the asymptote (A), which is an extrapolation of growth after the measurement age. A is essentially determined by the latter growth period (around age 20 years), and is also related to the shape of the observed curve.

The modelling framework appeared to be well suited to the characteristics of the data studied, and the estimation standard errors of the parameters were reasonably low. The heritabilities yielded for the growth curve parameters were high, similar to the heritabilities of cumulative heights. The genetic correlation between r and A was low, pointing to a poor juvenile-mature correlation. Discrepancies from one trial to another in heritabilities and in the correlation pattern were observed, they probably originated from environmental stresses. Maritime pine is actually selected using height and butt angle of lean at age 10 years as criteria. Improvements in the breeding program are suggested.     

秦岭水灾迹地油松和华山松更新种群数量特征

 不同植物种群种间比较研究利于揭示种群的形成机制和影响因素。该文研究了秦岭地区蔡玉河流域范家庄段水灾迹地恢复17年后群落优势种油松(Pinus tabulaeformis) 和华山松(P. armandii)的种群数量特征。水灾灾后第一年（1989年）就有油松和华山松个体进入迹地,由于较大的高生长速度和侧生长速度,油松种群的平均高度和地径高于华山松,占据了较大的垂直和水平空间。相对来说, 油松和华山松高度结构和径级结构模式不同,二者均是小个体数量居多,大个体数量极少,但油松中等大小个体多于华山松。油松和华山松种群的年龄结构模式不同,油松的为单峰右偏曲线,华山松的则近似于正态分布。坡向对油松的年龄结构模式没有影响,但对华山松种 群有影响。油松和华山松种群不同高度级、径级和年龄级之间存在显著正或负相关关系,缺少一致性,表明种群大小结构不一定反映年龄结构。油松和华山松种群的密度动态和存活曲线类型一致,均为Ⅱ型,表明二者具有相同的种群动态。总体上说,油松和华山松具有不同的树种生物学特性,使得种群的大小结构和年龄结构不同,但对种群更新存活动态没有影响。     

Some aspects related to conception of the Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata)

The season of birth, age of the first parturition, gestation period, and vaginal bleeding and mating after conception were surveyed with Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata). The analyses of the former two items were dependent on the birth records in the Ohirayama troop collected from 1957 to 1973, and the analyses of the latter two items were dependent on data obtained by a 48-hour mating in a laboratory. Birth in the Ohirayama troop converged into the months from March to July, especially from April to June. The age of the first parturition was three years and 11 months at the earliest, and nine years and two months at the latest. The monkeys giving their first birth at the age of five or thereabouts were most frequently observed (68.6%), and most of the monkeys had their first parturition from about the age of four years to about the age of six years. The gestation period calculated from 17 cases, which was defined as the period from the first day of a 48-hour mating to the day before parturition, was 173 ± 6.9 days ranging from 161 to 188 days. In 25 out of 28 cases, the vaginal bleeding was observed after conception. It began slightly later (between 16 and 24 days after mating) than the forecasted time of the next menstrual hemorrhage, and usually lasted longer than bleeding of the usual menses. Each of three female monkeys caged together with a male monkey 30 days after conception was observed to have copulated, and the male was observed to have ejaculated.     

Progressive deceleration in growth as an early sign of delayed puberty in boys

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prepubertal growth pattern in boys with delayed puberty. METHODS: Growth curves for height and height velocity covering the age range 4-14 years were constructed on the basis of retrospectively obtained data in 85 boys with delayed puberty, who attained a normal final height. RESULTS: Between the age of 4 and 14 years the height in this cohort progressively deviated from the normal reference. At the age of 4 years, the height SDS was already significantly lower (median -0.8; p < 0.001) and progressively diminished during childhood, resulting in a median height SDS of -1.1 at the age of 12 years (p < 0.001). The median final height of this cohort (-0.4) was not different from their target height (-0.2). The degree of deceleration in growth during childhood was not determined by birth weight or birth height and did not influence final height. The decline of the height velocity with age in this group of boys with delayed puberty was significantly smaller (p < 0.001) than predicted by the model of Rikken and Wit. CONCLUSION: Late-maturing boys often show a prepubertal deceleration in growth that starts at an early age but that does not affect final height.
