>Large-scale cluster of ancient tombs discovered
廣西發(fā)現(xiàn)7萬平米大型古墓群

Archaeologists recently discovered a large-scale cluster of ancient tombs dating back to the Six Dynasties period to the Sui and Tang Dynasties (222-907) in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Covering an area of 70,000 square meters, the cluster of some 200 tombs is located in Dashugen Village, Fucheng Township of Beihai City.
考古工作者在廣西壯族自治區(qū)北海市銀海區(qū)福成鎮(zhèn)古城村委大樹根村發(fā)現(xiàn)7萬平方米古墓葬群，初步調(diào)查勘探大樹根古墓群約有200座古墓，專家推測該墓葬群的年代約在六朝至隋唐時期。

The most prominent feature of the cluster is that most tomb chambers were constructed with stone pieces, but some tombs were made of brick and stone.
據(jù)介紹，該墓葬群最突出的特征是墓室普遍采用一種俗稱”砂輪片”的石片構(gòu)筑，也有部分墓葬以磚石合構(gòu)。

Relics including pottery with diversified patterns, ironware and bricks with inscriptions were excavated from the tombs.
墓地采集遺物有陶器、瓷器、鐵器等類。此外還發(fā)現(xiàn)少量”窅亭”銘文磚。

Experts said that these archaeological discoveries are of great research value.
專家稱該墓葬群具有較高的研究價值。

>Autoimmune diseases spread
全球自身免疫性疾病病例激增

Autoimmune diseases range from type 1 diabetes to rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis.
自身免疫性疾病包括1型糖尿病、類風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎、炎性腸病和多發(fā)性硬化癥。

In each case, the immune system gets its wires crossed and turns on healthy tissue instead of infectious agents.
上述每種疾病都會使免疫系統(tǒng)出現(xiàn)錯亂，攻擊自身健康組織而非病原體。

In the UK alone, at least 4 million people have developed such conditions, with some individuals suffering more than one.
僅在英國，就有至少400萬人患上這類疾病，有些人出現(xiàn)不止一種病癥。

Internationally, it is now estimated that cases of autoimmune diseases are rising by 3% to 9% a year.
據(jù)估計，目前全球自身免疫性疾病病例每年增長為3%至9%。

Most scientists believe environmental factors play a key role in this rise.
大多數(shù)科學(xué)家認(rèn)為環(huán)境因素在其中發(fā)揮重要影響。

Fast-food diets lack certain important ingredients, such as fiber, and evidence suggests this alteration affects a person’s microbiome – the collection of micro-organisms that we have in our gut and which play a key role in controlling various bodily functions.
快餐飲食缺乏某些重要營養(yǎng)成分，如膳食纖維，有證據(jù)表明這種飲食改變會影響人體內(nèi)的微生物群(腸道微生物群)，它們對調(diào)節(jié)身體各方面功能起著關(guān)鍵作用。

These changes in our microbiomes are then triggering autoimmune diseases, of which more than 100 types have now been discovered.
微生物群的這些變化便會引發(fā)自身免疫性疾病，目前已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了100多種該類型疾病。
