莫地的变迁——内城贫困区整体改造与社区治理研究

中国城市贫困区与体制的变迁和产业的兴衰密切相关,如果说发达国家的城市贫困区属于"社会排斥"的产物,那么中国的城市贫困区则是"体制排斥"、"社会排斥"、"产业排斥"和"单位排斥"综合作用的结果。辽宁抚顺莫地社区棚改前后变迁巨大,社会结构因城市居住空间改善而提升,展示了社区变迁、生活重建与社区治理的关系。棚户区改造是政府适度干预的一个典范,政府是棚户区改造的主体,政府的推进是棚户区得以"旧貌变新颜"的主导力量。但面对"后棚改问题",单一的政府支持是无效率的,现有的社区组织在一定意义上发挥了很好的补充作用。构建新的居住空间——社区,是深化棚户区改造的新目标。实践证明,单一的市场运作并不能解决中国的发展问题;单一的制度体系并不能解决政府的效率问题;单一的社区模式并不能解决社区治理问题。"政府主导+市场运作"不仅仅是解决棚户区改造的问题,也不仅仅是解决中国经济的问题,甚至是解决发展中国家、发达国家应对突发性事件或重大危机的有效途径。

Effects of Crude Oil Contamination on Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Momoge Wetland of China

Large oilfields are often coincidentally located in major river deltas and wetlands,and potentially damage the structure,function and ecosystem service values of wetlands during oil exploration.In the present study,the effects of crude oil contamination during oil exploration on soil physical and chemical properties were investigated in marshes of the Momoge National Nature Reserve in Jilin Province,China.The concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons in the marsh soil near the oil wells are significantly higher than those in the adjacent control marsh.Soil water contents in oil-contaminated marshes are negatively correlated with soil temperature and are significantly lower than those in the control area,especially in fall.Crude oil contamination significantly increases the soil pH up to8.0,and reduces available phosphorus concentrations in the soil.The concentrations of total organic carbon are significantly different among sampling sites.Therefore,crude oil contamination could potentially alkalinize marsh soils,adversely affect soil fertility and physical properties,and cause deterioration of the marshes in the Momoge National Nature Reserve.Phyto-remediation by planting Calamagrostis angustifolia has the potential to simultaneously restore and remediate the petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated wetlands.Crude oil contamination affects the soil physical and chemical properties,so developing an effective restoration program in the Momoge wetland is neccesary.

Effect of carotid artery stenting surgery combined with nimodipine on cerebral anterior circulation hemodynamics

Objective To evaluate the effect of carotid artery stenting combined with nimodipine on cerebral hemodynamics by comparing and analyzing the change of anterior cerebral blood flow before and after treatment through transcrania Doppler （TCD）. Methods Twenty patients with ischemic cerebrovascnlar disease were detected in blood flow velocity of bilateral middle cerebral arteries （MCA） and anterior cerebral arteries （ACA） and artery pulsatility index with TCD before and two weeks after treatment. Results After treatment, TCD examination showed dynamic changes in blood flow significantly, lpsilateral MCA flow velocity significantly increased; ipsilateral ACA flow velocity did not change significantly; there was no significant increase in the contralateral MCA flow velocity; flow rate decreased significantly in contralateral ACA. Conclusion Carotid artery stenting combined with nimodipine treatment can cause anterior cerebral hemodynamic changes in ipsilateral hemisphere and significantly improve blood flow

Suspected Resistance against Moxidectin in Sheep Strongylid Nematodes in Austria

Loss of efficacy due to resistance development against anthelmintics in livestock parasites is a growing concern worldwide. The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of moxidectin, a frequently-used macrocyclic lactone, against gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep in Austria. Individual faecal samples were collected from 243 adult sheep from 16 flocks in Styria and Salzburg before deworming and egg excretion （EPG （eggs per gram） of faeces） was determined using a modified McMaster technique. The animals were randomly assigned to a treatment group which received 0.2 mg/kg of body weight of moxidectin （Cydectin , Zoetis Schweiz GmbH, Zurich, Switzerland）, and an untreated control group. Fourteen days after deworming a FECRT （faecal egg count reduction test） for detection of anthelmintic resistance was performed. Before deworming, the infection rate for gastrointestinal strongylids was 94.7%, with EPG values of 0-5,800. The FECRT showed reduction rates between 93.08% and 99.78% and was sufficient in 15/16 flocks. The lower confidence interval was 70.0-100%. In 3/16 flocks this value was below the minimum for sufficient efficacy （70.0%, 79.0%, 85.0%）, and in two flocks the value （90,0%） was near the limit. These results indicated a （suspected） reduced efficacy of moxidectin in 5/16 examined flocks.

Variation Trend and Characteristics of Anthropogenic CO Column Content in the Atmosphere over Beijing and Moscow

The anthropogenic CO column content in the atmosphere is derived from measurements with infrared grating spectrometers in Beijing,China,and Moscow,Russia,during 1992–2012.Some specific variation characteristics and long-term variation trends of the CO column content in the atmosphere in these regions are discussed.An evident variation trend of anthropogenic CO in the atmosphere for the Beijing region is not observed during 1992–2012,while for the Moscow region,it decreases yearly by about 1.4% for the same period.High CO concentrations appear quite frequently in Beijing,but much less frequently in Moscow,except during the natural fire events in summer 2010.From back trajectory analysis,the high CO concentration observed in Beijing can be attributed to the intensive CO emission sources in its surrounding areas.

Crustal Thickness and Velocity Ratio beneath National Seismic Stations in the Sichuan-Yunnan Area Based on Receiver Function Analysis

By using the teleseismic receiver function method, this paper analyzes the crustal thickness and Vp/Vs ratios beneath the 4 National seismic stations （KMI, TNC, CD2 and PZH） in the Sichuan-Yunnan area. This study gives the variance of Moho depths and velocity ratios of the 4 stations in different directions. The results show that the Moho depth beneath the Kunming station is around 50km, and the vdocity ratio varies between 1.62 and 1.69. The thickness of crust and the velocity ratio do not change much with the direction. The crust beneath Tengchong station shows clear directivity, being 40.7km thick in the northeast and 49.7km thick in the southeast. The difference of the Vp/Vs values is remarkable between the two directions, reaching 0.2. The Chengdu station also has shallow Moho, about 40km, but is 8km deeper in the northeast and southwest and the vdocity ratio has a change of 0.13 between the two directions. The crust beneath the Panzhihua station is stable. In all directions, the Moho depth is around 60km and the Vp/Vs ratio doesn＇t change significantly.

Peace and War in Mozambique： The Colonial Power and Islam＇s Impact （Twentieth and Twenty-First Century）

This paper studies the Islam＇s impact in relation to the violence of the colonial and post-colonial state at the centre and north of Mozambique in particularly at the Zambezia and Tete Provinces. Revisiting and cross-checking sources available in the archives, especially the Mozambique Historical Archive, it is possible to determine Islam＇s expansion by analysing the reports of the colonial administration, interviewing the social participants of this process, and understanding the complexity of the phenomenon before and after the independence, thus enabling the rethinking of the violence, reconstruction, and reconciliation within the Mozambican society. The confrontation of the material produced by the colonial authorities in reports of the civil administration, of the so-called native business between the army and the police and the independent movements, especially the Mozambique Liberation Front （FRELIMO）, suggests a clandestine operational network with initiatives of Mozambican identity affirmation under the designation of ＂subversive＂ in the colonial days. A fact worth noting： the ＂control＂ function of the Muslim communities, both in the colonial state apparatus and in the post-colonial times, as a phenomenon of continuity.

Efficacy of acupuncture in combination with medicine for mild cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction:a randomized controlled trial

Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture in combination with medicine in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction as well as the impact on patients＇ daily living ability. Methods Seventy-two patients, in accordance with random number table, were divided into two groups, acupuncture combined with western medicine group （group A） and western medicine group （group B）, each group with 36 patients. In combination with nimodipine tablets, acupuncture which can regulate the mind and reinforce the intelligence [making Baihui （百会 GV 20）, Sishencong （四神聪EX-HN 1）, Sibai （四白 ST 2）, Fengchi （风池 GB 20）, Wanggu （完骨 GB 12）, Tianzhu （天柱 BL 10）, Shenmen （神门 HT 7）, Neiguan （内关 PC 6）, Shuigou （水沟 GV 26）, Sanyinjiao （三阴交 SP 6）, Taichong （太冲 LR 3）, Fenglong （丰隆 ST 40） as the main acupoints] was given in the treatment group （group A） while only nimodipine tablets were given in the control group （group B）. The efficacy of these two groups was evaluated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment （MoCA） Scale after the continuous treatment for three months. Results The remarkably effective rate was 69.4%.and the total effective rate was 91.7% in the treatment group, while the remarkably effective rate was 55.6% and the total effective rate was 80.6% in the control group; the differences between the two groups were statistically significant （P〈0.05）. When comparing the MoCA score before and after treatment, which was 20.23±4.67 before treatment and 26.84±3.87 after treatment in group A; 19.82±3.56 before treatment and 23.33±2.78 after treatment in group B, it was found that the score for both groups became higher after treatment than that before treatment. Furthermore, the increase of the score was higher in the treatment group （6.61±0.80） than that in the control group （3.51±0.78） and the differences were statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Acupuncture, which can regulate the mind and reinforce the intelligence, combined with nimodipine tablets is an effective therapy for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction, which is superior to single treatment with nimodipine tablets.

Changes in and effective factors of microtubule associated protein 2 in traumatic neurons

Objective To investigate alterations in the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) of neurons in Wistar rats and the effect of nimodipine (Nim), D-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (D-AP-5) and mild hypothermia on neuronal MAP-2 following fluid percussion injury (FPI).Methods Alterations of MAP-2 in Wistar rat neurons following FPI were measured by a confocal laserscanning microscope using MAP-2 immunofluorescence staining as a MAP-2 indicator.Results MAP-2 immunofluorescence staining was limited to the cell bodies and dendritic compartments of neurons and more intense in dendrites than in cell bodies. The loss of MAP-2 was marked at 3 h posttrauma ( P ＜ 0.01 ), and reached a maximum at 48 h post-trauma. Afterwards, fluorescence recovered partly at 72 h post-trauma. The application of Nim markedly reduced the loss of MAP-2 immunoreectivity within 1 h post-trauma ( P ＜ 0.01 ), and the application of D-AP-5 markedly reduced the loss of MAP-2immunoreactivity within 10 h post-injury ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The application of mild hypothermia decreased the loss of MAP-2 immunoreactivity within 1 h post-injury (P＜ 0.05).Conclusions The partial recovery of fluorescence at 72 h post-trauma indicate that the partial structure of the neuronal microtubules can be repaired by itself. Nim, D-AP-5 and mild hypothermia reduce the degradation of MAP-2 by different mechanisms. The treatment of neuronal cytoskeleton degradation following FPI must employ multiple therapeutic approaches.

Direct chiral separation of azelnidipine by HPLC with Pirkle-type column

Direct chiral separation of azelnidipine enantiomers with Pirkle-type Sumichiral OA-2500 column was studied by normal phase and reserve phase conditions. By normal phase, azelnidipine enantiomers were well separated with Rs as 4.0 using hexane–ethanol （90：10, v/v） as mobile phase, and Rs as 2.7 in shorter time （no more than 13 min） using hexane–ethanol （60：40, v/v） as the recommended mobile phase. They were only partially separated by reverse phase using methanol or methanol containing 0.05 mol/L ammonium acetate. Using same chiral column, the chiral separation of other dihydropyridine calcium antagonist analogues almodipine and nimodipine were also studied and showed partial chiral separation in normal phase.

HPLC determination of Nimodipine in plasma with an improved sample refining method and its application in pharmacokinetic studies

In order to prepare samples for HPLC analysis with maximum drug recovery and impurity elimination, a revised method for the extraction and purification of a target substance from plasma was developed and applied in a pharmacokinetic study with Nimodipine as a model drug. After protein precipitation of a plasma sample using pure methanol and evaporation of the supernatant to dryness, methanol of various concentrations from 10% to 100% were used to dissolve the remaining residues with the goal of maximizing drug recovery and impurity elimination. Through rigorous screening with HPLC peaks from residual impurity and recovered drug as the criteria, a methanol concentration of 30% was chosen. The standard curve was linear （r2〉 0.999） over the range of 2-160 ng/mL with a limit of quantification （LOQ） of 2 ng/mL. Intra- and inter-day precision values were below 15%, and the accuracy ranged from -1.70% to 5.88% at all three quality control （QC） levels. The wavelength of maximum absorption was 238 nm, and a smaller LOQ value of 2 ng/mL was achieved compared with the reported method. The revised method was successfully applied in a pharmacokinetic study of Nimodipine in rats and sample preparations of lidocaine hydrochloride.

Clinical observation on effect of scalp electroacupuncture for mild cognitive impairment

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of scalp electroacupuncture for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the early stage. METHODS: Two hundred and thirty three MCI patients were randomly divided into three groups: the drug group, the scalp electroacupuncture group, and the syndrome differentiation group. For the scalp electroacupuncture group, the points of Baihui (DU 20), Sishecong (EX-HN1), Fengchi (GB 20), and Shenting (DU 24) were selected. For the syndrome differentiation group, specific acupoints were added on the basis of syndrome differentiation and according to the scale for the differentiation of syndromes in vascular dementia (SDSVD) beside the acupoints used in the scalp electroacupuncture group. For the drug group, nimodipine was orally administered. Each patient was treated for two courses, eight weeks. The score differences in minimental state examination (MMSE), picture recognition, and clock drawing test were observed before and after the treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the score differences in MMSE and clock drawing test were of obvious statistical significance among three groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). The score differences in picture recognition were of extremely statistical significance between the scalp electroacupuncture group and the syndrome differentiation group (P<0.01), while the difference was not found in the drug group (P>0.05). There were statistical significant differences in therapeutic effects between the scalp electroacupuncture group and the drug group, and between the syndrome differentiation group and the drug group (P<0.05), while no statistical difference was found between scalp electroacupuncture group and the syndrome differentiation group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: All the three therapies may improve the cognitive function of MCI patients. The therapeutic effects in the scalp electroacupuncture and syndrome differentiation groups were basically the same, but superior to nimodipine.

Neuroprotective effects of nimodipine and MK-801 on acute infectious brain edema induced by injection of pertussis bacilli to neocortex of rats

Objective: To explore the mechanism and type of acute infectious brain edema induced by injection of pertussis bacilli (PB) in rat neocortex, to study the neuroprotective effect of non-competitive antagonist of N-methl-D-aspartate ( NMDA ) receptor ( MK-801 ) and antagonist of Ca 2+ channels ( nimodipine )on brain edema, and to investigate the relationship between percentage of water content and cytosolic free calcium concentration ( i) in synaptosomes or content of Evans Blue (EB). Methods: 95 SD rats were randomly divided into five groups, ie, normal control group, sham-operated control group, PB group, nimodipine treatment group and MK-801 pretreatment group. The acute infectious brain edema was induced by injection of PB into the rats. Quantitative measurements of water content and the concentration of EB were performed. i was determined in calcium fluorescent indication Fura-2/AM loaded neuronal synaptosome with a spectrofluorophotometer. To observe the effect of MK-801 and nimodipine, we administered MK-801 48 hours and 24 hours before the injection of PB in MK-801 pretreatment group, and nimodipine after the injection of PB in nimodipine treatment group. The specific binding of NMDA receptor was measured with -MK-801 in the neuronal membrane of cerebral cortex. Results: The levels of water content and EB content of brain tissues, and i in the neuronal synaptosomes increased more significantly in the PB-injected cerebral hemisphere in the PB group than those of normal control group and sham-operated control group (P< 0.05). The water content and i increased with the duration of infectious brain edema. Nimodipine administered after the injection of PB could significantly decrease the water content, EB and i (P< 0.05). MK-801 could significantly decrease the water content, EB and i in 4 h and 24 h groups (P< 0.05). The Kd values were 30.5 nmol/L ±3.0 nmol/L and 42.1 nmol/L ±4.2 nmol/L in PB group and NS group respectively (P< 0.05), and Bmax were 0.606 pmol/mg.pro ±0.087 pmol/mg.pro and 0.623 pmol/mg.pro ±0.082 pmol/mg.pro respectively, without statistical significance (P> 0.05). Conclusions: The changes in the permeability of blood-brain barrier (BBB) and Ca 2+-overload may participate in the pathogenesis of infectious brain edema. Treatment with nimodipine can dramatically reduce the damage of brain edema and demonstrate neuroprotective effect on brain edema by inhibiting the excess of Ca 2+ influx and reducing the permeability of BBB. MK-801 pretreatment may inhibit the delayed Ca 2+ influx into the neurons. The infectious brain edema is not only cytotoxic brain edema (intracellular edema) but also vasogenic brain edema (extracellular edema) followed by earlier BBB breakdown, so infectious brain edema is complicated with brain edema.

Objective： To investigate the clinical effects of electroacupuncture （EA） on the head points for improving gnosia in patients with vascular dementia （VD）. Methods： 90 VD patients were randomly divided into a drug group, an EA group and an EA plus drug group. Scoring with the M/VISE scale and detecting the relevant potentials were done before treatment and after a 6-week treatment. Results： Gnosia was improved after treatment in all the three groups with no significant difference by the intergroup comparison. Conclusion： The above three therapies can all improve gnosia, reduce the psychological stress, strengthen attention and shorten the awaiting time for recognition; and EA plus Nimodipine seems to be the best in the curative effect.

Effects of nimodipine on changes of endothelin after head injury in rabbits

Objective: To investigate the effects of nimodipine on changes of endothelin after head injury. Methods: Sixty five adult rabbits were randomized into an injury group (IG, n=30), a nimodipine treatment group (NTG, n=30) and a control group (CG, n=5). With their heads unfixed, the animals in IG and NTG were injured in the frontal parietal zone with BIM II bioimpact. Blood samples and brain tissue were collected before and after injury. The endothelin level was measured with RIA. Results: The endothelin level in plasma and brain tissue was significantly increased 24 hours after injury. At the 8th or/and 24th hours postinjury, the endothelin level was significantly lower in NTG than that in IG. Conclusions: Nimodipine can prevent endothelin from elevation and act as a practical endothelin antagonist after head injury clinically.

Nimodipine alleviates apoptosis-mediated impairments through the mitochondrial pathway after spinal cord injury

Abstract Spinal cord injury （SCI） remains an unsolved human health challenge. To alleviate the impairments of SCI, we studied the therapeutic effect of nimodipine （an L-type Ca^2＋ channel antagonist） on functional recovery from SCI using Nystrom＇s method in a mouse model. Eighty-four mice were divided into three groups： control group in which only vertebral plates were cut off without causing any spinal injuries; SCI; and SCI with nimodipine treatment. We assessed the histopathology, apoptosis detection, cell cycle, mitochondrial transmembrane potential, bcl-2/bax and caspase-3 levels of tissue 8 h, 1 d, 3 d and 4 d after trauma to evaluate rehabilitation. Behavioral performances were also assessed before and after nimodipine treatment. Results from inclined plane tests, motor score assessment and histological observations indicated that mice in the nimodipine-treated group rehabilitated better than those in the SCI group. The ratio of apoptosis, caspase-3 and bax expression in the nimodip- ine-treated group were significantly lower than those in the SCI group. The mitochondrial membrane potential and bcl-2 expression were up-regulated in the nimodipine-treated group. Taken together, our results indicate that the inhibition of calcium flux by nimodipine could reduce apoptosis processes and tissue damage through a mitochondrial pathway after spinal cord trauma [Current Zoology 57 （3）： 340-349, 2011].
