    Abstract: The paper examines the determinants of employment growth, drawing on data available across a sample of Caribbean countries. To that end, the paper analyzes estimates of the employment-output elasticity and the response of employment growth to major sources of labor market determinants, in the long and short run. The main determinants of employment include government investment and private sector credit, while the major determinants of external performance are real effective exchange rate, the price of major exporting commodities, the number of tourists, and growth in major trading partners.

    Abstract: This book brings contemporary Chinese scholarship into Africa, the relations between African states, and the relations between China and Africa into focus. As China becomes the biggest partner for many African states, constructing infrastructure across the continent, Western scrutiny has increased. This book offers a comprehensive look at what Chinese scholars have encountered on the ground, as well as comparative studies of how different nations have engaged with Africa.

    Abstract: The traditional herbal medicine Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (TW) has been widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disease in the clinic. However, adverse reactions of TW including hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity have been frequently reported. Terpenes and alkaloids are among the most important active components in TW. Triptolide (TP), a major terpene in TW, has been found to induce toxicity, and metabolic pathways could lead to detoxification of TP. In this study, whether other major terpenes or alkaloids in TW contribute to its toxicity was investigated. The role of metabolic eliminations in their potential detoxification process was also evaluated. The toxicity of TW and its five major active components (one terpene and four alkaloids) in mice was evaluated in terms of mortality and blood biochemical levels (ALT, AST, BUN and CREA). TP was used as a positive control. Metabolic pathways leading to potential detoxification of TW or its two representative components (triptonide and wilforgine) were evaluated in glutathione (GSH)-depleted (treated with L-buthionine-S,R-sulfoxinine, BSO) and aminobenzotriazole (ABT; a nonspecific inhibitor for P450s)-treated mice. In normal mice, the major metabolic pathways for the terpene compounds TP and triptonide (TN) were hydroxylation and cysteine conjugation, and the alkaloid wilforgine (WG) mainly underwent oxidative metabolism and hydrolysis. In ABT/BSO-treated mice, the hydroxylated metabolites of TP, TN and WG were found at a lower level than normal mice, and the level of cysteine conjugates of TN increased probably due to the stress response. Compared with normal mice, mortality and levels of ALT (but not BUN) were significantly higher (P〈0.01) in TW (or TP)-treated mice (1.2 mg kg(-1)), indicating the acute toxicity (may not nephrotoxicity) of TW and its active component TP. Pretreatment with ABT and/or BSO increased the acute toxicity (including hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity) caused by TW or TP. No significant toxicity was found for TN or four alkaloids in normal mice or ABT/BSO-treated mice. TP was probably the main contributor to the toxicity of TW, and the terpene TN and alkaloids in TW may be of no toxicological concern at dosage levels up to 20-fold of the therapeutic dose. Metabolic eliminations to less reactive metabolites implied a high potential for detoxification of TW, and caution should be taken for TW clinical use during co-administration with other CYP inhibitors or GSH-depleting agents.
