Previous studies on Cryptosporidium in China have mainly focused on diarrhea sufferers, children, and immunodeficient individuals such as HIV/AIDS patients. However, the epidemiological characteristics of Cryptosporidium in the population in rural areas remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the prevalence of, and risk factors for, Cryptosporidium in rural areas of Binyang County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, and genetically characterized the Cryptosporidium isolates we obtained. Methods: From August to December 2016, two villages in Binyang County, Guangxi, were sampled using a random cluster sampling method. Fresh fecal samples were collected from all eligible residents (residence time > 6 months). Molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium was carried out based on its SSU rRNA, gp60, actin and hsp70 gene sequences. Fisher’s exact test were conducted to assess the risk factors for Cryptosporidium infection. Results: A total of 400 fecal samples were collected from 195 males (48.8%) and 205 females (51.2%). Two samples (0.5%) were positive for Cryptosporidium and were identified as C. viatorum and C. occultus respectively. Moreover, a new C. viatorum subtype XVaA3h was identified based on the sequence of the gp 60 gene. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. viatorum and C. occultus infections in humans in China and of C. viatorum subtype XVaA3h. The findings provide important information on the prevalence of Cryptosporidium in the Chinese population, and expand the range of Cryptosporidium species known to infect people in China.

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.

  • The Research on the Inheritance Value Management of the Fire-Dragon Culture
    2019 3rd International Conference on Education, Management and Social Science (EMSS 2019) The Research on the Inheritance Value Management of the Fire-Dragon Culture Yuan Huang School of Wuhan University of Technology, Hubei 430070, China [email protected] Keywords: Fire-dragon Festival, Value Management, Culture Inheritance Abstract: Different cultural heritages nourish different people, and it is one of the important links between people and society. The long history of the "Fire-dragon Festival" is a folk cultural activity, and its extensive masses enable it to be passed down. In order to explore the inheritance of the artillery culture, we conducted field research and found that the inheritance of the artillery culture appeared crisis. While the relevant laws and regulations are not perfect, the cultural inclusiveness and the cultural connotation are weakened. The study concluded that we should strengthen the traditional culture inheritance Value management, increase the scientific research of the Fire-dragon culture in Binyang, and take the road of folklore protection and nationality inheritance. 1. Introduction China has a history of 5,000 years. Perhaps it is too long and long, which makes our nation not cherish, has too much, and is indifferent to our persistence, customs and complexities, so we unknowingly left the traditional culture, this is the sorrow of our nation. Nowadays, the loss of Chinese traditional culture is serious, and modern people's concern for culture is far from enough. It’s necessary to develop the economy and protect traditional culture meanwhile. Different cultural heritages nourish different people, and it is one of the important links between people and society.

  • China, Das Chinesische Meer Und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia
    China, das Chinesische Meer und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia Horses of the Xianbei, 300–600 AD: A Brief Survey Shing MÜLLER1 iNTRODUCTION The Chinese cavalry, though gaining great weight in warfare since Qin and Han times, remained lightly armed until the fourth century. The deployment of heavy armours of iron or leather for mounted warriors, especially for horses, seems to have been an innovation of the steppe peoples on the northern Chinese border since the third century, as indicated in literary sources and by archaeological excavations. Cavalry had become a major striking force of the steppe nomads since the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 AD, thus leading to the warfare being speedy and fierce. Ever since then, horses occupied a crucial role in war and in peace for all steppe riders on the northern borders of China. The horses were selectively bred, well fed, and drilled for war; horses of good breed symbolized high social status and prestige of their owners. Besides, horses had already been the most desired commodities of the Chinese. With superior cavalries, the steppe people intruded into North China from 300 AD onwards,2 and built one after another ephemeral non-Chinese kingdoms in this vast territory. In this age of disunity, known pain- fully by the Chinese as the age of Sixteen States (316–349 AD) and the age of Southern and Northern Dynas- ties (349–581 AD), many Chinese abandoned their homelands in the CentraL Plain and took flight to south of the Huai River, barricaded behind numerous rivers, lakes and hilly landscapes unfavourable for cavalries, until the North and the South reunited under the flag of the Sui (581–618 AD).3 Although warfare on horseback was practised among all northern steppe tribes, the Xianbei or Särbi, who originated from the southeastern quarters of modern Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, emerged as the major power during this period.

  • Inscribing the Unspeakable Publication Date：07/01/1999 by Line: Alice W
    Inscribing the Unspeakable Publication Date：07/01/1999 By line: Alice W. Cheang "Blood cannot be washed away--whether it is blood at Feishui Bridge or blood on Tiananmen Square.... And bloodstains in the minds of the people are especially indelible." --Zheng Yi Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China is an extraordinary book. An abbreviated translation of Zheng Yi's Hongse jinianbei by a group of writers using the joint pseudonym of T.P. Sym, the book is in a sense very much the epitome of its author, who is both novelist and journalist, for it combines examples of investigative journalism at its best with the intense subjectivity of an autobiography. In its less than two hundred pages (condensed from the Chinese original of nearly seven hundred pages), Scarlet Memorial gives a graphic and highly personalized account of incidents of cannibalism in five counties of Guangxi Province at the height of the Cultural Revolution in 1968, researched between 1986 and 1988 by Zheng Yi and his wife, the poet Bei Ming, and written while in hiding after the suppression of the 1989 pro-democracy movement. While making an effort to relate the specific occurrences of cannibalism to local history and cultural context, Zheng Yi clearly wishes the reader to conclude, with him, that there was only one cause--a perverted yet wholly understand able response to totalitarian dictatorship--and that, though cannibalism was documented only in Guangxi, "Guangxi is not only Guangxi. Guangxi is China! The cannibals were not merely individual cannibals, they were and they are our entire nation!" Although Scarlet Memorial in its shortened form does not draw an explicit connection between its writing and the aftermath of the massacre of June 4, 1989, the contemporary reference is inescapable: in crying out against the unleashing of mass slaughter and cannibalism as a political weapon in the 1960s, Zheng Yi is also decrying the incumbent regime's failure, yet again, to take anything but a despotic and adversarial stance vis-a-vis its own people.

In this paper, use Nanning city as an example to show application of Background information database in drought monitoring. A near-real time drought monitoring approach is developed using Terra-Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectoradiometer (MODIS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) products. The approach is called Vegetation Temperature Condition Index (VTCI), which integrates land surface reflectance and thermal properties. VTCI is defined as the ratio of LST differ- ences among pixels with a specific NDVI value in a sufficiently large study area; The ground-measured precipitation data from a study area covering Nan- ning in Guangxi , CHINA, are used to validate the drought monitoring ap- proach. Taking the result of drought monitoring in background information of Nanning city ,the area of farmland drought of Mild drought Moderate droughts Severe drought were 223607.2 Ha ,310596.9 Ha and 513.2 Ha.
