Methods- The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the treatment for CP/CPPS all over the world were searched. MEDLINE (January 1966 to June 2007), EMBASE (January 1988 to June 2007), and 4 Chinese databases were electronically searched. The studies included in the refer- ences of eligible studies were additionally searched. Two reviewers independently screened the studies for eli- gibility, evaluated the quality and extracted the data from the eligible studies, with confirmation by cross- checking. Divergences of opinion were settled by discussion or consulted by the experts. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 4.2 software. Results: Twelve original studies involving 1 003 participants met inclusion criteria. Compared with placebo, alpha-blockers could improve the symptoms of CP/CPPS obvious- ly with WMD of NIH-CPSI, total score and pain score were -4.10 (95%CI: -6. 92 to -1.28) and -1.68 (95 %CI: -2.54 to -0. 82). Antibiotics could not improve the symptoms obviously with WMD of NIH-CP- SI; total score and pain score were -2.71 (95%CI: -4. 78 to -0. 64) and -0.86 (95%CI: -2.07 to 0.36). Flavoxate could not improve the NIH-CPSI total score obviously, but could relieve the pain, with WMD of NIH-CPSI total score and pain score being -2.96 (95%CI: -5.17 to -0. 74) and --2.31 (95%CI.. -4.05 to 0.03). Prostat could improve the NIH-CPSI total score obviously, but could not relieve the pain, with WMD of NIH-CPSI total score and pain score being --7. 60 (95%CI.. -9. 97 to -5.23) and -2. 02 (95%CI: -4.07 to 0. 04). Conclusion: Drug intervention could improve total symptoms of CP/CPPS in some degree, but no universally effective treatment is available that can prove significant lasting benefit for all the symptoms of CP/CPPS. Future RCT must use an appropriate sample size and optimal duration and fol- low-up of participants. It is important to improve the quality of internal original studies.展开更多

In this study,the Crested Ibis Nature Reserve co-management model namely "companies + farmers + Nature Reserve" model is proposed and evaluated with demonstration investigation methods,including continuous six-year fixed-site socio-economic development data of surrounding community,company sales revenue data and monitored data of Crested Ibis Nature Reserve.The results show that farmers' income and conservation awareness increased greatly from 2003 to 2008;company sales revenue has increased by about 20% annually in the recent years;management level has noticeably improved in Nature Reserve,the scope of Crested Ibis habitat has expanded 50 hm2;chemical composition of habitat reduced year after year;and the number of Crested Ibis had been growing annually.At the end,the success of the model is evaluated,and problems in implementation of the model are discussed from the following aspects:management system,co-management concept,economic base of partners,marketing mechanism,technical capacity and so on.展开更多
