“跳一跳”争霸赛

<正>当真实的野生动物和你一起玩"跳一跳",你猜,现场会是什么样子?如果要在你和动物中选出跳跃姿势最美、跳跃效果最炫的那一个,谁才是游戏的最终赢家?话不多说,好戏开场!特别福利:为了方便观众评选,参与本场"跳一跳"的野生动物全是走兽,绝对养眼哦!美洲狮擅长跳跃的走兽中,有一位神秘优雅的高手——美洲狮。它主动要求在山涧上"跳一跳"。面对十几米宽的山涧,它优雅地助跑,然后轻轻松松一跃而过,只留下一个潇洒的背影,实在是太酷炫了。退场时,美洲狮表示,它有强健的后腿和又粗又长的尾巴,能在跳跃中既有力量又保持平衡。     

跳蝽──善跳的半翅目昆虫

跳蝽科Saldidae隶属于半翅目Heteroptera细蝽型（Leptopodomorpha）,目前已知共有26属277种,估计该科在全世界可有300多种。作者曾报道过中国的跳蝽2亚科9属34种（1987）[1,2],现已增至2亚科11属41种。跳蝽为世界性分布,大部分种类分布于全北界。目前已较系统地进行过区系调查的包括欧洲、独联体、中国、北美和中美。南美、非洲、南亚、西亚及大洋洲等地区的跳蝽种类只见零星的报道。跳蝽个体小,一般体长3～8mm,黑色或黑褐色,翅上具浅色斑纹,两个复眼大而突出。不同的属一般外貌上差异不大,因此在分类鉴定上有一定的困难。翅多…

蹲跳、反向跳和下落跳的膝关节屈伸肌群肌电信号分析

目的：通过观察肌电图（EMG）的变化,了解运动员与普通中学生在纵跳过程中,膝关节屈伸肌群工作特点,为运动员科学选材提供依据。方法：30名男女青少年运动员和30名男女普通中学生进行各种形式纵跳（蹲跳、反向跳、下落跳）,测试膝关节屈伸肌群的EMG变化情况。结果：主动肌（股外肌）EMG的变化存在性别差异,随着下肢工作强度的增加,男运动员积分肌电图（iEMG)和平均功率频率（Fmean)均没有显著变化,女运动员iEMG增加,Fmean没有显著变化,对抗肌（股二头肌）,随着下肢工作强度的增加。青少年运动员EMG活动变化较小,而普通中学生的EMG活动明显增加。结论：在增加工作负荷的过程中,男运动员膝关节伸肌群以提高效率为主,女运动员以提高肌肉的募集数量为主;运动员的对抗肌协调水平高于普通中学生。

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.     

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     

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.     

鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒研究进展

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).     

Enterovirus 71 3C proteolytically processes the histone H3 N-terminal tail during infection

2. Viral protease 3C is identified as a protease responsible for proteolytically processing the N-terminal H3 tail.
3. Our finding reveals a new epigenetic regulatory mechanism for Enterovirus 71 in virus-host interactions.
