农业科技期刊在线审稿存在问题及优化措施——以《浙江农业学报》为例

随着网络化和数字化的推进,农业科技期刊在线审稿方式已逐渐普及,但在线审稿过程中专家缺审和拒审现象时有发生,有必要深入了解专家缺审和拒审稿件的具体情况,剖析其原因,以期为提高稿件审回率寻求有效对策。选取了2010—2014年《浙江农业学报》的稿件在线审稿情况为研究对象,统计并分析了专家拒审和缺审稿件的频次,发现专家缺审和因研究方向不符、工作繁忙等原因被拒审的现象普遍存在,导致稿件审回率逐年降低,给编辑部的送审工作带来了不少困难。为此,分析总结了在线审稿中缺审和拒审发生的原因,并相应地提出合理可行的提高稿件审回率的优化方案,采取有效措施以促进农业科技期刊的长远发展。

Dual protective role of HO-1 in transplanted liver grafts:A review of experimental and clinical studies

Liver transplantation is considered as the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease.However,serious complications still exist,particularly in two aspects:ischemia and subsequent reperfusion of the liver,causing postoperative hepatic dysfunction and even failure;and acute and chronic graft rejections,affecting the allograft survival.Heme oxygenase(HO),a stressresponse protein,is believed to exert a protective function on both the development of ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI) and graft rejection.In this review of current researches on allograft protection,we focused on the HO-1.We conjecture that HO-1 may link these two main factors affecting the prognosis of liver transplantations.In this review,the following aspects were emphasized:the basic biological functions of HO-1,itsroles in IRI and allograft rejection,as well as methods to induce HO-1 and the prospects of a therapeutic application of HO-1 in liver transplantation.

A short review of malabsorption and anemia

Anemia is a frequent finding in most diseases which cause malabsorption. The most frequent etiology is the combination of iron and vitamin B12 deficiency. Celiac disease is frequently diagnosed in patients referred for evaluation of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), being reported in 1.8%-14.6% of patients. Therefore, duodenal biopsies should be taken during endoscopy if no obvious cause of iron defi ciency (ID) can be found. Cobalamin defi ciency occurs frequently among elderly patients, but it is often unrecognized because the clinical manifestations are subtle; it is caused primarily by food-cobalamin malabsorption and pernicious anemia. The classic treatment of cobalamin deficiency has been parenteral administration of the vitamin. Recent data suggest that alternative routes of cobalamin administration (oral and nasal) may be useful in some cases. Anemia is a frequent complication of gastrectomy, and has been often described after bariatric surgery. It has been shown that banding procedures which maintain digestive continuity with the antrum and duodenum are associated with low rates of ID. Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection may be considered as a risk factor for IDA, mainly in groups with high demands for iron, such as some children and adolescents. Further controlled trials are needed before making solid recommendations about H pylori eradication in these cases.

The Research On The Control Self- Assessment-Base On The Assessment Report

Internal control self-assessment is an internal control audit method which consists of the auditors＇ audit and entity managers together constitute an evaluation team. then result in a report of CSA which include the defects finding and improvement plan. As the product of it. research on the CSA report is very important. In this research base on the real data to study, and analysis shows that the quality of report in Chinese CSA were not high.

Experiments that led to the first gene-edited babies: the ethical failings and the urgent need for better governance

The rapid developments of science and technology in China over recent decades, particularly in biomedical research, have brought forward serious challenges regarding ethical governance. Recently, Jian-kui HE, a Chinese scientist, claimed to have "created" the first gene-edited babies, designed to be naturally immune to the human immunodeficiency virus(HIV). The news immediately triggered widespread criticism, denouncement, and debate over the scientific and ethical legitimacy of HE’s genetic experiments. China’s guidelines and regulations have banned germline genome editing on human embryos for clinical use because of scientific and ethical concerns, in accordance with the international consensus. HE’s human experimentation has not only violated these Chinese regulations, but also breached other ethical and regulatory norms. These include questionable scientific value, unreasonable risk-benefit ratio, illegitimate ethics review, invalid informed consent, and regulatory misconduct. This series of ethical failings of HE and his team reveal the institutional failure of the current ethics governance system which largely depends on scientist’s self-regulation. The incident highlights the need for urgent improvement of ethics governance at all levels, the enforcement of technical and ethical guidelines, and the establishment of laws relating to such bioethical issues.

Understanding the defect chemistry of oxide nanoparticles for creating new functionalities:A critical review

This work presents a critical review on the studies of defect chemistry of oxide nanoparticles for creating new functionalities pertinent to energy applications including dilute-magnetic semiconductors,giant-dielectrics,or white light generation.Emphasis is placed on the relationships between the internal structure and defective surfaces of oxide nanoparticles and their synergy in tailoring the materials properties.This review is arranged in a sequence:(1) structural fundamentals of bulk oxides,using TiO2 as a model simple oxide to highlight the importance of polymorphs in tuning the electronic structures;(2) structural features of simple oxide nanoparticles distinct from the bulk,which show that nanoparticles can be considered as a special solid under the compression as originated from the surface defect dipole-dipole interactions;and(3) new functions achieved through extending the defect chemistry concept to the assembled architectures or multi-component oxide nanoparticles,in which defect surfaces enable the localized electrons or intermediate levels to produce giant dielectric performance or tunable light generation.It is concluded that understandings of defect chemistry provide diverse possibilities to manipulate electrons in oxide nanoparticles for functionalities in energy-relevant applications.
