Recharge sources and hydrogeochemical evolution of groundwater in a heterogeneous karst water system in Hubei Province, Central China

Wrase and Schmidt (2006) established the genus Sinometrius Wrase & Schmidt, 2006 to include the new species S. turnai Wrase & Schmidt, 2006 from Hubei province, central China. They placed the new genus in the Paussine tribe Metriini, and compared it to the Nearctic genus Metrius Eschscholtz, 1829. Deuve (2020) described a second species S. jaroslavi Deuve, 2020 from Chongqing province.

Disequilibrium Theory

Central China is progressively paving its way to the second carrier of Chinese population after the east coastal areas with disequilibrium theory as the guidance of provincial spatial development. Based on ESDA (exploratory spatial data analysis) with statistical data of GDP per capita of Hubei Province by county-level (2000-2010), this paper reveals the spatial differentiation characteristics of economic differences among counties in Hubei Province. According to global analysis of ArcGIS and GeoDA095i, economic space of the county presents the trend of climbing up and then declining. Besides, differences between counties are remarkable. The LISA clean-cut indicates different developed and underdeveloped districts. Finally, contrasting to policy response that the provinces cope with disequilibrium theory in Central China, the results show that the Central China continues to promote disequilibrium development is a reasonable choice, and it’s also indispensible to pay attention to controlling magnification of differences in regional development.

A New Species

This report provides a description of Primula sunhangii from the Shennongjia Forestry District, Hubei Province in Central China, which is categorized as a new species of the primrose family. Primula sunhangii is morphologically similar to P. involucrata Wall. ex Duby in terms of its simple umbel, efarinose, and prolonged bracts. However, P. sunhangii is distinguished by its glabrous sepal, short petiole (compare with blade) and cylindrical calyx and capsule. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear and cpDNA genes demonstrates that P. sunhangii and P. involucrata are closely related. Combining genetic and morphological data, the recognition of P. sunhangii as a unique new species is supported.

Background The prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in low and middle-income countries is a significant public health and social concern. TB is a common infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, which has a widespread infection rate. Health care-seeking delay maybe one of the most important neglected risk factors for the spread of TB. Objectives The aim of this study was to understand the situation of health care-seeking delay among rural tuberculosis patients in Hubei Province, and explore its risk factors. Methods A total of 1408 rural tuberculosis patients were surveyed using a standard structured questionnaire in three cities of Hubei Province during the past two years. Results For the 1408cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, 39.70% of them were health care-seeking delayed. Logistic regressions indicate that the Han nationality, farming careers, the over 45 min walk to the township’s hospital, and awareness of the national TB free treatment policy, were significantly associated with higher odds of a delay in care seeking. Conclusions The prevalence of health care-seeking delay among tuberculosis patients was high in rural areas. It is essential to take comprehensive targeted interventions to reduce care-seeking delay.
