鸭呼肠孤病毒强毒株致鸭胚原代成纤维细胞凋亡的研究

通过光镜、电镜、DNA Ladder法、流式细胞术、荧光染色对鸭呼肠孤病毒(DRV)诱导鸭胚原代成纤维细胞(DEF)凋亡情况进行检测.结果显示,光镜可见细胞形态学上出现细胞皱缩,染色质浓染边移;电镜观察到细胞胞浆浓缩,细胞核染色质凝聚、部分形成凋亡小体;荧光染色结果显示,在感染后24h有激发绿色荧光的凋亡细胞出现,随着时间的推移,激发红色荧光的死亡细胞数量增多;DNA Ladder检测到感染后24～144h的DNA样品呈梯形条带;流式细胞术于感染后24h检测到凋亡细胞,其数量在72～96h达到高峰,144h开始下降.研究结果表明,DRV在DEF增殖的过程中具有诱导宿主细胞凋亡的作用.     

真菌诱导子对茶条槭细胞没食子酸积累的影响

茶条槭（Acer ginnala Maxim.）叶片中含有没食子酸,但含量较低。真菌诱导子可以增加植物中一些次生代谢产物的含量,但其机理尚不十分清楚。本研究在茶条槭细胞悬浮培养的对数期加入内生真菌（Phomopsis sp.）诱导子,茶条槭细胞中没食子酸含量在24 h后开始增加,48 h时没食子酸含量达到峰值,最高含量为12.2 mg·g^-1 DW,是对照的1.58倍。茶条槭细胞对内生真菌诱导子的防御反应不同于对病原和非生物胁迫。真菌诱导子不提高培养液中pH值,也不明显增加胞内Ca²⁺浓度,但增大细胞膜通透性。培养液电导率差异显著,细胞核发生分裂,说明真菌诱导子可能促进茶条槭细胞核内有丝分裂,促使茶条槭细胞对培养液中的无机盐离子的吸收,以满足细胞生长的需要。PAL酶活性升高,在48 h时为对照的1.75倍,说明PAL酶可能参与了真菌诱导没食子酸的合成。

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.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.
