摘要 目的：探讨独一味胶囊对复发性口腔溃疡（ROU）大鼠免疫功能和溃疡组织核因子-κB（NF-κB）炎症通路蛋白表达的影响。方法：将60只SD大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组和独一味胶囊低、中、高剂量组,每组12只。除正常组外其余各组均采用免疫法建立ROU模型,建模8周后独一味胶囊低、中、高剂量组分别灌胃给予0.01 mg/mL、0.02 mg/mL、0.03 mg/mL独一味胶囊溶液治疗,正常组和模型组灌胃给予等量生理盐水,均连续治疗20 d。记录各组大鼠口腔溃疡数目、持续时间和口腔溃疡面积,采用酶联免疫吸附法检测血清白介素（IL）-1β、IL-6、肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）水平,流式细胞术检测外周血CD3⁺、CD4⁺、CD8⁺百分比并计算CD4⁺/CD8⁺比值,免疫印迹法检测口腔黏膜组织NF-κB p65、磷酸化NF-κB抑制蛋白α（p-IκBα）、IkappaB激酶α（IKKα）蛋白水平。结果：正常组未出现口腔溃疡,模型组、独一味胶囊低剂量组、独一味胶囊中剂量组、独一味胶囊高剂量组溃疡数目依次降低,持续时间依次缩短,溃疡面积依次缩小（P＜0.05）。模型组、独一味胶囊低剂量组、独一味胶囊中剂量组、独一味胶囊高剂量组、正常组IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α、CD8⁺、NF-κB p65、p-IκBα、IKKα水平依次降低,CD3⁺、CD4⁺、CD4⁺/CD8⁺依次升高（P＜0.05）。结论：独一味胶囊能显著减少ROU大鼠口腔溃疡数目和面积,缩短愈合时间,且效果呈剂量依赖性,其机制可能与改善免疫功能和抑制NF-κB炎症通路有关。

铜绿假单胞菌二鸟苷酸环化酶SiaD突变体的功能研究

【目的】铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonas aerugionsa)二鸟苷酸环化酶SiaD调控着铜绿假单胞菌的生物被膜形成等表型。在研究过表达siaD对生物被膜的调控作用时发现,与野生型siaD基因回补菌株相比,一株回补菌株的生物被膜产量显著升高。本文的目的即是探究该菌株生物被膜产量升高的原因,并对该菌株的其他表型进行研究。【方法】通过测序确定突变位点;利用生物被膜定性和定量实验对发生点突变的菌株表型进行分析;利用Western blotting实验检测SiaD^R119M蛋白表达水平;利用GST-pull down实验检测SiaC蛋白与SiaD^R119M蛋白在体外的结合能力;针对siaD^R119M点突变基因进行融合蛋白表达载体的构建,表达并纯化该蛋白,利用高效液相色谱检测SiaD^R119M的酶活;为了进一步研究c-di-GMP与细菌运动能力的关系,对细菌的运动能力进行检测。【结果】测序比对结果显示,序列的第119个氨基酸发生了突变,由精氨酸突变成了甲硫氨酸。生物被膜定性和定量实验显示,与野生型siaD回补菌株相比,siaD^R119M的回补菌株生物被膜产量增加,siaD^R119A的回补菌株生物被膜产量低于siaD^R119M的回补菌株,siaD^R201A回补菌株生物被膜含量显著增加,siaD^{R119M R201A}双突变回补菌株生物被膜的含量低于siaD^R201A回补菌株。Western blotting和GST-pull down实验证明,与野生型SiaD蛋白相比,SiaD^R119M蛋白表达水平无差别,SiaC和SiaD^R119M蛋白之间存在特异的相互作用。高效液相色谱结果显示SiaD^R119M蛋白酶活降低。运动能力检测实验中,与siaD野生型回补菌株相比,siaD^R119M回补菌株运动能力减弱,siaD^R201A、siaD^{R119M R201A}回补菌株运动能力无差别。【结论】siaD^R119M突变导致生物被膜合成增强,酶活降低,运动能力减弱。我们推测突变后表型的变化可能是因为突变在体内会影响SiaD蛋白与下游效应蛋白的相互作用,加强了下游效应蛋白的信号传导能力,然而具体机制有待进一步探索。

Combined effects of temperature,food (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Chlorella vulgaris</Emphasis>) concentration and predation (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Asplanchna girodi</Emphasis>) on the morphology of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Brachionus havanaensis</Emphasis> (Rotifera)

The combined effect of temperature, food level and the presence of an invertebrate predator on the body size of the rotifer Brachionus havanaensis were tested in this study. B. havanaensis was cultured at 15, 20, and 25°C under three different Chlorella vulgaris levels (0.5 × 10⁶, 1.0 × 10⁶ and 2.0 × 10⁶ cells ml⁻¹) in the presence and in the absence of Asplanchna girodi. For each treatment we maintained three replicates and constant (0.4 ind ml⁻¹) population density of B. havanaensis. In treatments containing A. girodi, the predator was separated from the prey by a mesh (pore size 50 μm). On the last day of the experiment, a portion of the B. havanaensis population was sampled for several morphometric measurements (adult lorica length, width, posterior spine length, body volume, and the egg volume). Size measurements were done by drawing the specimens using a calibrated camera lucida. Statistically significant impact of temperature as well as the predator’s presence was observed on the lorica length, posterior spine, and egg volume of B. havanaensis. The interactions of food × temperature, or predator′s presence × food × temperature were non-significant (P > 0.05) for lorica length, spine length, body volume, and egg volume. Regardless of the type of treatment, there was a direct positive correlation between lorica length and width. Egg volume was linearly related to the adult size. Notably long posterior spines were observed in treatments containing the presence of A. girodi. Guest editors: S. S. S. Sarma, R. D. Gulati, R. L. Wallace, S. Nandini, H. J. Dumont & R.

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.
