高原鼠兔氧化传导征的实验研究

本实验采用国外新近提出的一项能综合评价机体气体交换系统中各氧降阶差时运氧能力的适应水平高低的重要指标－－氧比传导（ＭＯ２－ＳＣ）,研究了高原鼠兔气体交换系统运氧能力的低氧适应特征及规律。结果表明,对照条件下,在吸入气（Ｉ）至肺泡气（Ａ）（Ｉ→Ａ）、Ａ至动脉血（ａ（Ａ→ａ）,ａ至混合静血（ｖ＾－）（ａ→ｖ＾－）及Ｉ→ｖ＾－各阶差中,以Ａ→ａ的ＭＯ２－ＳＣ运氧能力最大。低氧１５ｍｉｎ后,Ｉ→Ａ及ａ→Ｖ     

低氧对高原鼠兔肝细胞内质网和心肌肌浆网Ca^2＋泵的影响

模拟高原低氧条件研究高原鼠兔肝细胞内质网（Ｅｎｄｏｐｌａｓｍｉｃｒｅｔｉｃｕｌｕｍ,ＥＲ）和心肌肌浆网（Ｓａｒｃｏｐｌａｓｍｉｃｒｅｔｉｃｕｌｕｍ,ＳＲ）钙泵功能变化。实验设对照组（海拔２３００ｍ）和两个低氧实验组（模拟海拔５０００ｍ和７０００ｍ）。２４ｈ急性低氧时,海拔５０００ｍ组高原鼠兔ＥＲ的Ｃａ２＋泵活性无变化,海拔７０００ｍ组高原鼠兔ＥＲＣａ２＋泵活性下降２９．０２％。７ｄ亚急性低氧时高原鼠兔ＳＲ的Ｃａ２＋泵活性无显著变化。高原鼠兔ＥＲ的Ｃａ２＋泵活性在海拔５０００ｍ组和７０００ｍ组分别升高３２．５０％和３３．３３％。２５ｄ慢性低氧时高原鼠兔ＥＲ,ＳＲ的Ｃａ２＋泵活性均无显著变化．表明：急性低氧对Ｃａ２＋泵功能有抑制作用,低氧７ｄ后抑制缓解,至２５ｄ低氧时趋于恢复。     

β－内啡肽对低氧引起的促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子分泌的影响

本文研究了模拟高原低氧条件下内源性阿片肽β－内啡肽（βｅｎｄｏｒｐｈｉｎ,βＥＰ）对大鼠和高原土著动物高原鼠兔（Ｏｃｈｏｔｏｎａｃｕｒｚｏｎｉａｅ）促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子（ｃｏｒｔｉｃｏｔｒｏｐｉｎｒｅｌｅａｓｉｎｇｆａｃｔｏｒ,ＣＲＦ）分泌的影响。７０００ｍ低氧２ｈ,正中隆起（ｍｅｄｉａｎｅｍｉｎｅｎｃｅ,ＭＥ）和下丘脑（Ｈｙｐｏｔｈａｌａｍｕｓ,Ｈｙ）ＣＲＦ含量水平降低。脑室注射βＥＰ后,海拔７０００ｍ低氧暴露２ｈ,大鼠和高原鼠兔ＭＥ处的ＣＲＦ含量升高,大鼠Ｈｙ的ＣＲＦ含量也升高,而高原鼠兔下丘脑ＣＲＦ含量下降。βＥＰ的作用被纳洛酮反转。上述结果提示,βＥＰ有抑制由低氧引起的大鼠ＣＲＦ分泌的作用。     

强啡肽对脊髓原生型与诱生型一氧化氮合成酶活性、分布和基因表达的影响及机制

蛛网膜下腔注射（ｉ．ｔ．）强啡肽Ａ１－１７（Ｄｙｎ）引起剂量依赖性后肢和尾部瘫痪及甩尾甩足抑制。脊髓背角（侧）ＮＭＤＡ受体和ＮＯＳ／ＮＯ功能活性下降可能与Ｄｙｎ镇痛作用有关,脊髓腹角（侧）ＮＭＤＡ受体－Ｃａ２＋－ＮＯＳ／ＮＯ通路过度激活及ｃ－ｆｏｓ高表达可能与Ｄｙｎ致脊髓损伤（ＳＣＩ）作用有关。在Ｄｙｎ致ＳＣＩ机制中,过量ＮＯ（细胞水平）具有神经毒性作用,脑源性ＮＯＳ主要在早期,诱生型ＮＯＳ主要在后期起作用,而内皮细胞源性ＮＯＳ和适量ＮＯ（血管水平）可能具有保护作用。在原代培养脊髓神经元中,高浓度Ｄｙｎ可通过ＮＭＤＡ受体和κ受体直接引起细胞内Ｃａ２＋超负荷,低浓度Ｄｙｎ只通过κ受体抑制高钾刺激性Ｃａ２＋内流     

低氧、血管紧张素Ⅱ对肺内小动脉平滑肌细胞膜Ca2 ┐ATPase活力的影响

本课题观察了低氧及血管紧张素Ⅱ（ａｎｇｉｏｔｅｎｓｉｎⅡ,ＡｎｇⅡ）对分离培养家兔肺内小动脉平滑肌细胞（ＰＡＳＭ－Ｃｓ）膜Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的影响,同时用钙通道阻断剂维拉帕米（ｖｅｒａｐａｍｉｌ,ＶＰ）进行干预,进一步了解细胞内钙与Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的关系。结果表明：ＰＡＳＭＣｓ膜Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力对低氧具有短暂的耐受性,随低氧时间延长,Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力呈时间依赖性抑制;低氧、ＡＮＧⅡ均能抑制Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力（Ｐ＜０．０１）低氧＋ＡⅡ对Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的抑制具叠加效应（Ｐ＜０．０５）;ＶＰ可逆转低氧、ＡｎｇⅡ、低氧＋ＡｎｇⅡ对Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的抑制（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结果提示：低氧,ＡＮＧⅡ可通过抑制肺血管平滑肌细胞膜Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力而可能削弱肺血管平滑肌舒张功能也可能是低氧性肺动脉高压（ＨＰＨ）形成的原因之一。

本工作采用分离培养家兔肺内小动脉平滑肌细胞（ＰＡＳＭＣｓ），观察了外源性血小板活化因子（ｐｌａｔｅｌｅｔａｃｔｉｖａｔｉｎｇｆａｃｔｏｒ，ＰＡＦ）、ＢＮ５２０２１（ＰＡＦ受体拮抗剂）、吲哚美辛、维拉帕米对ＰＡＳＭＣｓ产生血栓素Ａ_２（ＴｘＡ_２）、前列环素（ＰＧＩ_２）及对细胞膜Ｃａ~（２＋）－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的影响。结果表明：（１）基础状态下ＰＡＳＭＣｓ存在花生四烯酸（ＡＡ）代谢。（２）外源性ＰＡＦ通过受体后途径激活环加氧酶促进ＡＡ代谢致ＴＸＡ_２及ＰＧＩ－２增加，ＴＸＡ_２／ＰＧＩ_２比值无明显变化。（３）外源性ＰＡＦ能直接抑制Ｃａ~（２＋）－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力。（４）维拉帕米可逆转ＰＡＦ抑制ＰＡＳＭＣｓ膜Ｃａ~（２＋）－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的效应。     

颈髓损伤后线粒体系列酶活性变化与线粒体功能的关系

为了探讨颈髓损伤后颈髓线粒体系列酶活性变化与线粒体功能的关系,采用Ａｌｅｎ法造成猫颈髓损伤,观察颈髓损伤后线粒体Ｃａ２＋,Ｍｇ２＋－ＡＴＰ酶、Ｎａ＋,Ｋ＋－ＡＴＰ酶、超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）活性及线粒体呼吸功能的变化。结果显示：颈髓损伤后２ｈ至７２ｈ,Ｃａ２＋,Ｍｇ２＋－ＡＴＰ酶、Ｎａ＋,Ｋ＋－ＡＴＰ酶活性、ＳＯＤ活性明显降低,而线粒体呼吸控制率（ＲＣＲ）、磷氧比值（Ｐ／Ｏ）、氧化磷酸化效率（ＯＰＲ）也明显下降。表明颈髓损伤后Ｃａ２＋,Ｍｇ２＋－ＡＴＰ酶、Ｎａ＋,Ｋ＋－ＡＴＰ酶、ＳＯＤ活性与线粒体功能密切相关,提示颈髓线粒体的病理生理改变在颈髓损伤后继发性损害过程中起重要作用。

高原红细胞增多对最大摄氧量和运动能力的影响

在海拔３４１７米地区对１２名高原红细胞增多者（ＨＡＰＣ）的心功能、无氧阈值（ＡＴ）、最大摄氧量（Ｖ·Ｏ２ｍａｘ）、最大运动负荷和最大心排出量（ＣＯｍａｘ）进行了测定,并与２７名健康人进行了对照研究（两组的年龄、身高、体重基本相同）。结果显示：红细胞压积（Ｈｃｔ）与每搏量（ＳＶ）呈显著负相关,ＨＡＰＣ的ＡＴ提早出现,Ｖ·Ｏ２ｍａｘ、ＣＯｍａｘ和最大运动负荷量都明显低于对照组,同时ＳａＯ２明显下降。提示：ＨＡＰＣ的运动能力下降和Ｖ·Ｏ２ｍａｘ降低是由于红细胞过多造成ＣＯ下降和通气／血流比率失调,使机体运氧能力下降和氧的传送系统受限引起的。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.
