L’agriculture itinérante sur brûlis, une menace sur la forêt tropicale humide ? by Serge Bahuchet, Jean-Marie Betsch

“…(Kleinman et al. 1995).In the context of the announcement of the creation of the National Park of the South of French Guiana, an interdisciplinary program (ecology, pedobiology, ethnology; MNHN-CNRS-IRD) Effects of the traditional cultural practices on soils and forest (French Environment Ministry) studied the effects of the itinerant agriculture on slash-and-burn field from an analysis of the conditions which allow Amerindian communities to satisfy their material and spiritual needs in a forest system.This program set up the following points:– the fine practices of this agriculture, constituting a real strategy, supply efficiently the mineral elements in the cultures, without purchase of fertilizers, and ensure a rapid forest recovery after at least 10 years; the cycles short culture - long fallow allow the self regeneration of an agroforestry system registered since millenniums in the forest dynamics of the river banks;– the adoption of the long fallow limits the spatial extent of every family to 10-15 hectares at most;– the transportation on foot of the harvest towards the village limits the extent of the agriculture to a 3-4 km band from the river; beyond, the forest is protected from an agricultural pressure;– the absence of the market does not lead to an increase of the cultivated surfaces and the pressure on the forest is not increasing thus at present;– the forest of the hinterland includes wide zones restricted by strong social taboos; the conservation of the social organization of the Amerindian ethnic groups is the first condition of the preservation of the forest domain.The real solution for the preservation of the forest heritage in the South of French Guiana, obviously social, was thus already political, before the creation of the “Amazonian Park of Guyana” (2007).…”

D型肉毒毒素灭鼠剂对棕背雪雀危害机理的试验研究 by 李生庆, 李淑萍, 胡国元, 雷萌桐, 韩生义, 刘成录, 王林业

“…结果显示:棕背雪雀对D型肉毒毒素的敏感性介于高原鼢鼠与青海田鼠之间,LD₅₀为2.71万～3.16万MLD/kg(95%可信限为1.69万～4.88万MLD/kg); 大白鼠胃肠内容物对D型肉毒毒素的破坏强度明显高于高原鼠兔及棕背雪雀; 在基因编码区序列推导的氨基酸序列水平上,棕背雪雀体内的VAMP1氨基酸序列(GenBank No.GQ905710)与昆明系小鼠完全相同,VAMP1氨基酸序列在第48号氨基酸位点(为48M型,而非48Ⅰ型)属于D型肉毒毒素敏感型氨基酸,表明棕背雪雀对D型肉毒毒素具有一定的敏感性,在现地鼠害防治中应精准控制鼠药投放剂量,建议采取药物警戒色趋避鸟类食毒饵。…”

Compound identification of Shuangxinfang and its potential mechanisms in the treatment of myocardial infarction with depression: insights from LC-MS/MS and bioinformatic prediction by Yize Sun, Yize Sun, Haibin Zhao, Zheyi Wang

“…Then the targets of PCF compounds were searched on Swiss target database, and the targets of depression and MI were predicted on TTD, OMIM, GeneCards, DrugBank and PharmGkb database. All the targets were intersected to construct the Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network on Metascape platform and the herb-compound-target (HCT) network on Cytoscape, to identify the hub targets. …”
