Cold, cough, allergy, bronchodilator, and antiasthmatic drug products for over-the-counter human use; amendment of final monograph for over-the-counter nasal decongestant drug products. Final rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the final monograph (FM) for over-the-counter (OTC) nasal decongestant drug products (drug products used to relieve nasal congestion due to a cold, hay fever, or other upper respiratory allergies) to remove the indication "for the temporary relief of nasal congestion associated with sinusitis" and to prohibit use of the terms "sinusitis" and "associated with sinusitis" elsewhere on the labeling. This final rule is part of FDA's ongoing review of OTC drug products.     

Revocation of status of specific products; Group A streptococcus. Direct final rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is removing the regulation applicable to the status of specific products; Group A streptococcus. FDA is removing the regulation because the existing requirement for Group A streptococcus organisms and derivatives is both obsolete and a perceived impediment to the development of Group A streptococcus vaccines. The regulation was written to apply to a group of products that are no longer on the market. We are taking this action as part of our continuing effort to reduce the burden of unnecessary regulations on industry and to revise outdated regulations without diminishing public health protection. We are issuing the removal directly as a final rule because it is noncontroversial, and there is little likelihood that we will receive any significant adverse comments. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a companion proposed rule under our usual procedures for notice and comment in the event that we receive any significant adverse comments on the direct final rule. If we receive any significant adverse comments that warrant terminating the direct final rule, we will consider such comments on the proposed rule in developing the final rule.

少数民族审美文化的现实困境与相关理论的探讨

由于少数民族社会的现代转型造成文化传统的失落与神话思维的崩解,其审美文化的原创性面临着破坏与消解的危险.少数民族审美文化在现代化背景下所面临的"保存与发展"的困境,应首先从理论上进行探讨.少数民族审美文化研究应以民族文化活动为基点,以集中体现民族审美意识的民族艺术为中介,在田野工作的基础上广泛运用民族心理学、民族伦理学、民族语言学、文化人类学以及民族社会学等相邻学科的方法,建立艺术哲学的比较视野,以取得该学科领域的新突破,拓展美学研究的范围.     

云南佛教文化的多民族性

云南佛教文化具有多民族性的特点.佛教最初传入云南的地区多是少数民族聚居区,有很多少数民族都接受了佛教的影响,同时又在其中注入本民族的文化要素,使之呈现出多种文化交融的特点.云南佛教文化的多民族性特点不仅反映为文化的多样性,而且还表现为文化的一体性,这折射出云南民族文化的本质特征,也揭示出云南民族文化的发展趋势.
