ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To prepare Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the artificial breeding technology of Poecilobdella manillensi. METHODS: The environment of producing area and breeding technology, the control of diseases, reserving seeds for breeding, harvesting and processing,the standard of the product quality and supervision for the standardization breeding of Poecilobdella Manillensis was studied. RESULTS: The average yield of vital specimen of Poecilobdella Manillensis was 420.88 kg/mu, the natural hirudin in 1kg of the living specimen of Poecilobdella Manillensis contained 430,000 AT-U, and the quality index and hygienic standard of all products complied with the regulations and standards of the State. CONCLUSION: SOP is applicable for the breeding of Poecilobdella manillensi for Guangxi district.

Nature of Chinese materia medica is the nucleus in the theory of Chinese material medica, according to the recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is the character of the drug related on curative effect. Nature and efficacy of a drug is through the medical material, then, physical environment, including the temperature, humidity, atmospheric water, wind, topography, soil, micro-organism, and so on, influence the growth and development of the medical meterial. In this paper, we researched the explanation on nature of Chinese materia medica in the medical books of past dynasties, combined with the modem research, analyzed the relationship between generative reception and physical environmental factors, and discussed the effect of physical environmental factors on nature of Chinese materia medica. We indicated that the formation of Chinese materia medical nature is that the drug receptive the change of physical environmental factors, and resulted by the synthetic action of the factors, such as climate, soil, biology, topography, etc.

Marcus Barros talks about how tropical diseases influenced his decision to study medicine. He tells a number of stories about his family, which moved from Alto Juruá to Manaus to escape malaria and other fevers. He says it is essential to adopt homeopathy, acupuncture, and other indigenous knowledge and practices in treating disease. Barros also talks about measures taken when he was president of Brazil's national environmental institute, Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (Ibama)--all part of an effort to prevent and combat these diseases and halt deforestation and burn-offs.

Biological reactions occur regularly at the right time, on the right place and in the right quantity. How does this biological order work? Mechanicistics and vitalists fail to explain it and holism is an alternative that misses the very point. Our investigation is restricted to the relation between the organism and its specific environment, stressing their mutual penetration, common to twins. The twin organisms/environment in organisms as a whole, in the cellular environment of DNA and around the biological clock.

There have been four larger populations of wild water deer (Hydropotes inermis) in China, but all the populations lie in the endangered status. Most of populations are very small, and their distrbution ranges have already been broken up into many isolated patches. Furthermore, their habitats have been deteriorating. So it is very necessary to enhance the protection of habitat in the first place. Some endangered and small populations of wild water deer can be saved by inflows of domestic health deer. It is a valid way between conservation and utilization.

Marcus Barros fala sobre a influência que as doenças tropicais exerceram em sua escolha pela carreira de médico. Conta várias histórias, como a da mudança da família do Alto Juruá para Manaus, fugindo da malária e de outras febres. Diz ser fundamental adotar a homeopatia, a acupuntura e os conhecimentos e práticas indígenas na cura de doenças. Relata as atividades que exerceu como presidente do Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (Ibama), visando a prevenção e o combate a essas doenças, bem como as medidas de controle ambiental que adotou: a repressão ao desmatamento, levando à sua diminuição nos últimos anos, e a prisão de funcionários públicos corruptos.

O modelo mundial vigente de produção de alimentos é baseado na utilização de grandes quantidades de insumos sintéticos e alta tecnologia, visando a produção extensiva. Na década de 90 a sociedade começou a perceber os danos econômicos, sociais e ambientais gerados pelo modo de produção convencional, que compreendem respectivamente concentração dos lucros gerados, excesso de urbanização devido ao êxodo rural e desequilíbrio do ecossistema como consequência da modificação radical do ambiente natural e das diversas formas de contaminação. O modelo de Produção Orgânica caracterizado pela mobilização harmoniosa dos recursos naturais e não utilização de produtos quiímicos sintéticos, bem como outros aspectos que visam a sustentabilidade vem de encontro às necessidades do homem atual. Todos os organismos envolvidos no processo (plantas e animais) devem estar o mais próximo possível da sua condição natural. A homeopatia, fitoterapia e acupuntura são as terapêuticas permitidas, e o uso de antibióticos é banido nesse sistema. Dessa forma, a produção orgânica de um alimento transcende a não utilização de agrotóxicos e aditivos químicos, visa a sustentabilidade, o equilíbrio dos recursos naturais e, como resultado final, um alimento saudável.

O autor discute o controverso tema dos "obstaculos a cura", a partir de perspectivas diferenciadas. Ele percorre conceitos estabelecidos da Homeopatia, como a dinamica miasmatica e os parametros miasmaticos de cura, atraves de uma visao critica que procura confrontar a teoria e a pratica da Homeopatia com alguns dados da contemporaneidade. Para tanto, o autor tenta relativizar as dogmatizacoes da chamada doutrina homeopatica, problematizando os conceitos num vertice de abertura em que as certezas ficam em xeque e as duvidas sao redimensionadas.

Les polluants atmospheriques, les toxiques industriels (metaux lourds) et les medicaments sont a l'origine d'un certain nombre de pathogenesies accidentelles et de maladies iatrogenes. L'utilisation de tres faibles doses, voire des dilutions "non materielles"de l'agent inducteur peut etre une alternative therapeutique efficace et non toxique a ces maladies de l'environnement.
