论“性小康”的科学与“理”

中国当前处在一个“性观念重大变化”的时期。“变化”的背后隐藏了什么样的规律和动因?是什么力量在推动着这个“变化”?“变化”的具体路径是什么?如果认识和掌握了这些规律和必然性,知道是哪些力量在起作用,那么人们就可以采取措施,主动应对。这也是科学的价值。作为国内唯一公开发行的以“性”为刊名、以“性”为研究对象的权威性刊物,《中国性科学》密切关注中国以及世界各国发生的与“性”相关的社会现象,从科学的角度,而不是从艺术或信仰的角度发掘和探讨其背后的规律和原理。其目的,还是要促进中国的性文明建设。最终的意义,则是要立足于提高个体的生命质量,促进社会的和谐和进步。以去年中国性学会成立十周年庆典为缘起,一个新的概念——“性小康”,在网络媒体以及平面媒体上引起了较大的兴趣,也引发了不少争议,并被学术界所关注。从本期开始,争鸣栏目拟针对“性小康”这一概念,以及这一现象开展做集中的学术讨论。在这一期首先约请“性小康”概念的提出者、前《公益时报》记者李扁先生撰写了这篇题为“‘性小康’的科学与‘理’”的文章,提出问题,抛砖引玉。希望感兴趣的专家学者针对这一话题提出自己的意见,在学术范围内,本着“双百”方针,开展积极的探讨和论争。本栏目现在面向社会征文,并将陆续刊出有代表性的论文。如果必要,也可以组织专题研讨。总之是希望得到科学和严肃的结论,可用于指导实践,最终有利于中国现代性观念的建设。     

Exploration of "alternative" and "natural" drugs in dermatology

OBJECTIVE: To review some of the promising natural remedies within dermatology to explore their potential clinical benefit in supplementing conventional drugs. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE searches from January 1966 through October 2000 and Science Citation Index searches from January 1974 through October 2000 were conducted. STUDY SELECTION: Primary importance was given to in vivo and in vitro controlled studies, the results of which encourage further exploration. DATA EXTRACTION: The controls used, the statistical approach to analysis, and the validity of the experimental method analyzed were considered particularly important. Data were independently extracted by multiple observers. DATA SYNTHESIS: Natural remedies seem promising in treating a wide variety of dermatologic disorders, including inflammation, phototoxicity, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and poison oak. CONCLUSIONS: The alternative medications presented seem promising, although their true effects are unknown. Many of the presented studies do not allow deduction of clinical effects. Further experimentation must be performed to assess clinical benefit.     

Cryptic "chromo-fibroma"

Chromoblastomycosis is an uncommon chronic fungal infection capable of presenting in a variety of clinical guises. Herein, we present the histopathological features of an unusual dermal response engendered by this organism, consisting of dermal effacement by a spindle cell proliferation arranged in sweeping fascicles.     

谈“废物”、“动物”、“人物”——与史成礼教授商榷

《中国性科学》2004年第13卷第1期载史成礼教授一文,题为“我的性学观点”,其中第19条为:“有性能力的人是人物,无性能力的人是废物,性能力过强的人(性混乱和纵欲)是动物。”笔者认为此观点是很值得商榷的。性学是研究人类性行为与活动及其规律的科学。但这门科学的确立,在内涵和外延上至今还都不是很明确的, 因此尚未形成公认的体系。但其理论基础来源于生物学、
