Comparative Pathological and Comparative Anatomical Studies on African Great Apes in Congo

1.在刚果，每年估计有400-600只大猩猩被森林和经济部自然保护局杀害和食用。该局正在通过水边行动努力阻止上述孤儿外流。应自然保护局的要求，提交人对1991年7月受保护后冷冻保存的18具死亡孤儿大猩猩遗骸中的3具进行了尸检。这三具遗骸的常见尸检结果是消化道中没有任何内容物，肾上腺皮质肥大明显。在这3具遗体中未发现致命的胸腔内和腹腔内病变。上述发现和大猩猩的全身乏力导致这3名死亡孤儿被诊断为神经性厌食症，可能是由于可怕的杀害父母而造成的精神损害，而孤儿院没有照顾两只大猩猩，孤儿院的最初战略是将其遗体带到孤儿院。在1991年夏天建立大猩猩孤儿院之前和期间，大猩猩孤儿死于压力引起的神经性厌食症。1992年夏天，珍古道尔研究所黑猩猩孤儿院在国家刚果动物园内成立，并将名为“珍”的普通黑猩猩遗体冷冻保存。简除了肺部有轻微的肺炎症状外，其他器官没有明显的致命变化。6月，5头西部低地大猩猩和1头矮黑猩猩在人类流感流行下死亡。8月，有4人感染了小儿麻痹症，这是一种人类传染病。两个愈合的头部有后遗症的腿后麻痹。动物的死因从1991年的神经性厌食症变为1992年的人媒传染病。这一事实表明，保护类人猿孤儿需要采取健康婴儿、预防接种各种传染病疫苗等措施。

1. Each year in the Congo an estimated 400-600 gorillas are killed and consumed by the Bureau of Nature Conservation, Ministry of Forest & Economy. The Bureau is making efforts to check overseas outflow of the above orphans by means of water's edge operations. At request of the Bureau of Nature Conservation, the authors carried out autopsy of 3 out of 18 remains of dead orphan gorilla kept under freeze-preservation following their protection at July 1991. Common autopsy findings to these three remains were none of the contents in digestive tract and remarkable adrenocortical hypertrophy. No lethal intrathoracic and intraperitoneal lesions were note in these 3 remains. The above findings and gorilla's general hyposthenia led to the diagnosis of these 3 dead orphans as ANOREXIA NERVOSA, probably caused by mental damage through terrible of killing parent and two gorillas were not care of in Orphanage and the remain was brought to the Orphanage at its beginning stratagem.2. Before and during the period of establishment of the Gorilla orphanage of in summer 1991, Gorilla orphans died of stress-induced anorexia nervosa. In summer 1992, the Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Orphanage was established within the National Congo Zoological Garden and had the remains of common chimpanzee named "JANE" freeze-preserved. Beside slight pneumonic symptom in her lungs, Jane showed no remarkable lethal change in other organs. In June, 5 heads of Western lowland gorilla and 1 head of Bonobo died under the prevalence of human influenza. In August, 4 heads contracted polio, a human infectious disease. Two healed heads have sequel of behind leg palsy. There exists a change in the animal's cause of death from anorexia nervosa in 1991 to man-mediated infectious disease in 1992. This fact suggests that the protection of Great apes orphans requires such approaches as health infants, prophylactic vaccination for various kinds of infectious diseases, etc.
