Xueshan Township,Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County of Yunnan Province,located in the alpine valley of Jinsha River,is a major township with wide and deep poverty,and the incidence of poverty is up to 45. 00%. In recent years,Xueshan Township has insisted on the battle against poverty,made effort to develop the Codonopsis pilosula industry,and successfully developed a road to poverty alleviation through C. pilosula industry,and formed a unique industrial poverty alleviation model by the end of 2018,the incidence of poverty dropped to 0. 74%. Based on field survey and interview,this paper analyzes and summarizes the specific practices,main results,practical experience and promotion and application measures of the poverty alleviation model of C. pilosula planting industry in Xueshan Township,in the hope of providing certain reference for the targeted poverty alleviation in similar areas in Yunnan Province and other provinces of China.展开更多

Methods: Ninety-nine healthy sea-level residents rapidly ascended to Tibet plateau (3 675 m altitude) by airplane from Chengdu plain (560 m altitude). ANS function was tested in plain and day 2–4 in Tibet by heart rate variability (HRV), cold pressor test (CPT). AMS was evaluated by clinic symptomatic scores. All subjects were divided into non-AMS group (57, scores≤4) and AMS group (42, scores>4). Results: Compared with non-AMS group, AMS group had higher standard deviation of normal to normal intervals (SDNN), root mean square of delta RR (rMSSD), low-frequency (LF) power, and normalized low-frequency (LFnu) power in plain (P<0.05). After arrival at 3 675 m altitude, AMS group had greater reduction in percentage of delta RR>50 ms(PNN50), rMSSD (P<0.01) and SDNN, LF, total power (TP) (P<0.05). Although no significant differences in the increase of SP and DP during CPT were found between 2 groups in plain, the SP increase during CPT of AMS group was less than non-AMS group (P<0.05) at 3 675 m altitude. AMS symptomatic scores was not only positively correlated with SDNN, rMSSD, LF/HF in plain (P<0.05), but also negatively correlated with HFnu in plain (P<0.05). Conclusion: During the initial high altitude exposure, ANS modulation is generally blunted, but the relatively predominant sympathetic control is enhanced, and this characteristic change of ANS function is positively correlated with the development of AMS.展开更多

The results showed certain significant aspects. (1) As long as water resources in the oasis keep stable and their utilization efficiency can be maintained or gradually increased, the primary productivity could be continuously increased and the natural primary productivity keeped relatively stable. In this case, it is considered that the oasis is stable and its sustainable development can be achieved at regional scale. (2) Considering the availability of water resources in the oases, the oases on the alluvial-diluvial fans are highly stable. In the alluvial plain downstream of the groundwater overflowing zones the oases are moderately stable and in the lacustrine deltas or dry lacustrine deltas the oases are lowly stable. (3) Enlargement of oases and the increase of water resources and vegetation coverage in the oasis will certainly enhance the 'cold-island effect' of the oasis and increase the stability of oases.展开更多

To make a primary investigation about the mice models, which are respectively provoked by exhaustive exercise, cold and fatigue, and epinephrine. Methods Divide the Kunming mice into 8 groups in random, with 10 in a single group, control group in plain; exhaustive exercise group in plain; fatigue & cold group in plain; epinephrine stimulating group in plain; control group in plateau; exhaustive exercise group in plateau; fatigue & cold group in plateau; epinephrine stimulating group in plateau. To simulate the condition when people travel to Lhasa whose altitude reaches 3700m, those mice were carried there during a five-day period. Day 1: Weight the mice after fasting for 12hrs, then treated different with corresponding methods. Day 2: Collect the data of mortality in each group and sacrifice the alive. Weight the cardiac, pulmonary and cerebral tissues and calculate for the Viscera Index. Results After the journey to the plat- eau, the weight of mice decreases significantly, in exhaustive exercise group and fatigue & cold group also with the increase of pulmonary and cerebral index and decrease of cardiac index compared with groups in plain. As for those who are stimulated with epinephrine, the ones in plateau suffer more from pneumonedema but have a longer life span. The sensitivity to epinephrine can decrease in female mice in plateau, which can be reversed in plain. Con- clusions After the journey to plateau, acute plateau pneumonedema and cerebral edema can be provoked by ex- haustive exercise, fatigue and cold, and starvation; The severity of pneumonedema caused by epinephrine are relat- ed to the environment, strength and gender.展开更多
