灵芝多糖对人脐血LAK细胞活性的影响

本文研究了灵芝多糖（ＧＬＰ）对人脐血ＬＡＫ（ＣＢ—ＬＡＫ）细胞活性的影响,结果发现,单独ＧＬＰ能刺激人脐血单个核细胞（ＣＢＭＣ）增殖,但不能诱导ＬＡＫ活性,当与５０ｕ／ｍｌｒＩＬ—２伍用时,可增殖ＣＢ—ＬＡＫ细胞诱导活性,不同剂量ＧＬＰ（０．５—１００μｇ／ｍｌ）影响作用不同,以１０μｇ／ｍｌ浓度最好．在不同浓度ｒＩＬ—２（１０—１００ｕ／ｍｌ）诱导ＣＢ—ＬＡＫ细胞过程中加入ＧＬＰ（１０μｇ／ｍｌ）,可明显提高细胞增殖能力,减少ｒＩＬ—２用量。ＧＬＰ亦能促进效应阶段ＣＢ—ＬＡＫ细胞对Ｒａｊｉ肿瘤靶细胞的杀伤作用（Ｐ＜０．００１）。由此看出,ＧＬＰ具有增强ＣＢ—ＬＡＫ细胞活性的作用,是一很好的生物反应调节剂（ＢＲＭ）,有必要进行深入的研究。     

中缝隐核投射至中脑导水管周围灰质腹侧部的递质分析

实验在戊巴比妥钠麻醉大鼠上进行。双侧中脑导水管周围灰质腹侧部（ｖＰＡＧ）微量注射１μｇ／μｌ肾上腺素（每侧０．１μｌ）,刺激中缝隐核（ＮＲＯ）引起的降压反应明显增强,但该效应可被ｖＰＡＧ预先注射心得安所阻断,而注射酚妥拉明对上述效应无明显影响;ｖＰＡＧ内单独微量注射１μｇ／μｌ心得安（每侧０．１μｌ）,可部分阻断ＮＲＯ降压反应,而注射１μｇ／μｌ酚妥拉明（每侧０．１μｌ）无明显影响;双侧ｖＰＡＧ微量注射１０μｇ／μｌ吗啡或０．１ｍｏｌ／Ｌ５－ＨＴ（每侧０．１μｌ）,基础血压无明显变化,ＮＫＯ的降压反应幅度减小（Ｐ＜０．０５）。提示,ＮＫＯ对ｖＰＡＧ的兴奋作用的可能递质为肾上腺素,通过β受体介导;吗啡或５－ＨＴ则可减弱ＮＲＯ对ｖＰＡＧ的兴奋性投射作用。

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

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.
