Protective Role of <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-Arginine Against Free-Radical Mediated Oxidative Damage in Patients with Unstable Angina

Unstable angina is a critical condition of heart resulting from narrowing of vessels supplying blood to heart. Ischemia of the myocardium leads to oxidative stress and severe tissue damage. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of l-arginine administration on the oxidant–antioxidant homeostasis which otherwise gets imbalanced in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The results obtained, show improvement in the oxidant–antioxidant levels of the subjects upon incorporation of l-arginine. Our findings suggest that supplementation of l-arginine along with regular anti-anginal therapy may be beneficial to the patients of unstable angina.     

菌物生物多样性与人类可持续发展

文章对菌物生物多样性从下列三个角度进行了论述。首先,在自然界生物圈中的生物多样性包括物种、基因和生态系统三个层次;而物种多样性则是最基础和关键的。菌物是自然界物种多样性最丰富的两大类生物之一。其次,菌物分类学是研究菌物物种多样性的重要工具。第三,生物信息、菌种以及菌物原型参证的三个存取系统,作为菌物分类学的研究成果,是人类可持续发展所需要的可再生的生物资源的重要支撑系统。最后,为了加强对菌物物种多样性和基因多样性的研究、保护和开发,作者提出了4点建议。     

中国海洋微生物多样性研究

海洋占地球表面积的71%,蕴藏着丰富的、最具优势和特色的海洋微生物资源。多样性研究是挖掘和利用海洋微生物资源的关键。关注海洋微生物的物种多样性和遗传多样性,发现功能多样的新颖代谢产物,揭示海洋微生物的关键次生代谢过程和主要调控机制,开发生物合成新技术,是发现创新药物和开发特色功能产品的重要基础。本文对中国海洋环境微生物的物种、遗传、化学和代谢多样性4个方面的研究进展进行了综述。     

物种间体育的动物权利与人类义务

人类与动物共同参与的体育活动被称为“物种间体育”,参与形式丰富多样,主要包括人类与动物互斗、人类捕获或猎杀动物以及人类利用动物作为运输工具进行赛跑或技能比赛三类,在物种间体育中,人类与动物的关系呈现出两种主要形态：一是主导动物的行为模式,二是剥夺动物的生命。借助哲学、伦理学、社会学的相关理论,对权利、伤害等基础性概念进行深入探讨,在此基础上,阐明动物权利的正当性,梳理人类与动物关系的应然性。结合物种间体育的形式与表现,提出应坚决抵制剥夺动物生命的所谓“血腥体育”,允许主导动物行为模式的物种间体育适度存在,但人类应尽到保护与照顾义务,尽量避免使动物遭受不必要的伤害     

浅谈马克思主义的人性观及其现实意义

人性是人之为人的根本。在人性的问题上,古今中外的哲学家有不同的看法,本文重点从人的类本质和人的社会关系本质的统一来阐述马克思的人性观,并对马克思的人性观的特点进行了探讨,进而在构建社会主义和谐社会的背景下来阐述马克思主义人性观的现实意义。     

Is ‘the posthuman’ educable? On the convergence of educational philosophy,animal studies,and posthumanist theory

Formal education in Western society is firmly rooted in humanist ideals. ‘Becoming human’ by cultivating certain cognitive, social, and moral abilities has even symbolised the idea of education as such in Enlightenment philosophical traditions. These ideas are increasingly coming under scrutiny by posthumanist theorists, who are addressing fundamental ontological and epistemological questions about defining an essential ‘human nature’, as well as the elastic boundary work between the human and nonhuman subject. This paper responds to the ongoing discussions on the diverse articulations of posthumanism in education theory and animal studies by investigating possibilities of a shared conceptual framework that allows for a productive dialogue between them. By analysing some of the meanings attached to the notion of posthumanism in education theory and animal studies, the paper begins to identify some instabilities of humanist traditions/ideals of education and explores posthumanist challenges to research on the institutionalised production, mediation, and development of knowledge.     

从族谱看客家社会与风水话语

客家学一般认为客家是从中原南迁的民系,而客家社会的风水思想也是他们祖先从中原带过来的风俗,就是说,客家社会风水是作为中原的符号。本文将风水符号本身"能记(signifiant)"与"所记(signifie)"分开考虑,特别讨论风水的"所记"侧面。换言之,本文讨论风水话语(discourse)的侧面,当代本地人说风水的社会背景。用人类学的研究方法,比较考察福建永定湖坑李氏族谱和广东河源龙川李氏族谱,讨论在客家社会风水话语作为"文化装置"的功能。
