Hypomania: a transcultural perspective

This study examined the transcultural robustness of a screening instrument for hypomania, the Hypomania Checklist-32, first revised version (HCL-32 R1). It was carried out in 2606 patients from twelve countries in five geographic regions (Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe, South America and East Asia). In addition, GAMIAN Europe contributed data from its members. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the transregional stability of the measurement properties of the HCL-32 R1, including the influence of sex and age as covariates. Across cultures, a two-factor structure was confirmed: the first factor (F1) reflected the more positive aspects of hypomania (being more active, elated, self-confident, and cogni-tively enhanced); the second factor (F2) reflected the more negative aspects (being irritable, impulsive, careless, more substance use). The measurement properties of the HCL-32 R1 were largely invariant across cultures. Only few items showed transcultural differences in their relation to hypomania as measured by the test. F2 was higher among men and in more severe manic syndromes; F1 was highest in North and East Europe and lowest in South America. The scores decreased slightly with age. The frequency of the 32 items showed remarkable similarities across geographic areas, with two excep-tions: South Europeans had lower symptom frequencies in general and East Europeans higher rates of substance use. These findings support the interna-tional applicability of the HCL-32 R1 as a screening instrument for hypomania.     

剑麻提取物的细胞毒活性研究

用溶剂萃取法对剑麻的95%乙醇提取物进行分段处理,利用MTT法测定各提取部位的体外细胞毒活性。正丁醇提取物对肿瘤细胞株K-562、SMMC-7721和SGC-7901显示有生长抑制活性,IC50值分别为5.6、23.8和26.8μg/mL,而石油醚、乙酸乙酯和水溶性部位则没有活性。     

栎金钱菌活性提取物抗衰老研究

用栎金钱菌活性提取物灌胃衰老模型小鼠,观察其对小鼠血清SOD活性、肝组织MDA和脂褐素的含量、脾指数、胸腺指数和肾指数的影响。结果表明,栎金钱菌活性提取物能使雄性小鼠血清SOD活性提高40.16%,肝MDA含量减少47.12%,肝脂褐素含量减少89.48%,脾指数增加35.13%,胸腺指数增加48.92%,肾指数增加11.26%,表明栎金钱菌活性提取物具有良好的抗衰老作用。栎金钱菌活性提取物800mg/kg·d的剂量具有最好的抗衰老效果,且具有性别的差异,对雄性小鼠的抗衰老作用略优于对雌性小鼠的。     

在新疆发现两种珍稀野鸭

1白头硬尾鸭(Oxyura leucocephala)作为IUCN/ICBP鸟类红皮书内的国际性受胁鸟类(EN),白头硬尾鸭(Oxyura leucocephala)一直受到国际上的密切关注。湿地国际(Wetlands International)与鸟类国际(BirdLife International)等国际组织都曾经在欧、亚、非洲组织过对白头硬尾鸭的普查(Hughes et al,2006)。作为特邀参加调查者之一,笔者曾经绞尽脑汁、
