武汉东湖水生植被春恢复途径探讨

１９９２－１９９３年对武汉东湖三个主要湖区水生植被的调查表明,该湖区共有水一植 物３２种优势种为大茨藻、狐尾藻、苦草和菱。金鱼藻呈不断扩大的趋势。     

武汉东湖水生植物生态学研究 Ⅱ.后湖水生植被动态与水体性质

报道１９９１－１９９３年武汉东湖子湖后湖区水处植被和水体理化性质的调查结果。上前后湖水生植物较东湖其它湖区丰富,共记载了４７种,３年间水生植物生物量和水生植被分布面积变动剧烈。１９９１年水生植被分布面积约为该湖区面积的８．４％;１９９２年高达３８１ｈｍ＾２,覆盖面积达８０％;而１９９３年水生植被面积不到１％。经分析,认为目前影响后湖水生植被的扩要因子是草食性鱼类,只要停止放养     

东太湖水生植被及其沼泽化趋势

１９９６年东太湖水生植被调查结果表明,沉水植被、挺水植被及浮叶植被面积分别为７３．８、４５．５和６．７ｋｍ２。有９个群丛,其中微齿眼子菜（Ｐｏｔａｍｏｇｅｔｏｎｍａａｃｋｉａｎｕｓ）群丛、菰（Ｚｉｚａｎｉａｌａｔｉｆｏｌｉａ）群丛、伊乐藻微齿眼子菜（ＥｌｏｄｅａｎｕｔａｌｉＰｏｔａｍｏｇｅｔｏｎｍａａｃｋｉａｎｕｓ）群丛和芦苇（Ｐｈｒａｇｍｉｔｅｓｃｏｍｍｕｎｉｓ）群丛分布面积较大,分别占东太湖总面积的３９３９％、２８２７％、１１２０％和６４０％。与１９６０年相比,水生植被变化极为明显,突出表现为环湖水陆交错带的芦苇群丛严重退化和消失,菰群丛发展迅速并向湖心蔓延占据了东太湖总面积的２８２７％;微齿眼子菜取代了竹叶眼子菜（Ｐｏｔａｍｏｇｅｔｏｎｍａｌａｉａｎｕｓ）、黑藻（Ｈｙｄｒｉｌａｖｅｒｔｉｃｉｌａｔａ）及苦草（Ｖａｌｉｓｎｅｒｉａｎａｔａｎｓ）,成为沉水植被的优势种,占据了东太湖整个湖心区;外来种伊乐藻（Ｅｌｏｄｅａｎｕｔａｌｉ）侵入,并形成一定规模的群丛。综观该湖区水生植被演化过程,可知东太湖已经出现沼泽化趋势,应引起足够重视     

高密度网围养鱼对水生植被的影响及生态对策探讨

研究了东太湖高密度网围养鱼实验区周围水生植被退化情况,影响范围半径＞６００ｍ,在中心带优势种微齿眼子菜为黑藻、金鱼藻和穗花狐尾藻所代替,并引起水绵严重发生,丧失了饲料生产能力．养鱼污染可导致水生植被退化,１４．３ｈｍ２网围面积上年Ｎ、Ｐ污染负荷量分别达２４２ｇ·ｍ（－２）·ａ（－１）和２７．４ｇ·ｍ（－２）·ａ（－１）．网围对风浪、水流的作用和水草收割的障碍效应是水生植被退化的另一重要原因．应对湖泊中网围养鱼的规模进行严格限制,并通过网围的小型、分散和短期化来减弱其环境效应的时空叠加,加强对网围周围水草的收割管理以防止植被退化和湖泊营养化．

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.     

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.     

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

Highlights
1. The N-terminal tail of histone H3 is specifically cleaved during EV71 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.     

Detection of EBV and HHV6 in the Brain Tissue of Patients with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis

Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare pediatric neurological disorder, and the exact etiology is not clear. Viral infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of RE, but conflicting results have reported. In this study, we evaluated the expression of both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpes virus (HHV) 6 antigens in brain sections from 30 patients with RE and 16 control individuals by immunohistochemistry. In the RE group, EBV and HHV6 antigens were detected in 56.7% (17/30) and 50% (15/30) of individuals, respectively. In contrast, no detectable EBV and HHV6 antigen expression was found in brain tissues of the control group. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in 20.0% (6/30) of individuals. In particular, a 4-year-old boy had a typical clinical course, including a medical history of viral encephalitis, intractable epilepsy, and hemispheric atrophy. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in neurons and astrocytes in the brain tissue, accompanied by a high frequency of CD8⁺ T cells. Our results suggest that EBV and HHV6 infection and the activation of CD8⁺ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of RE.     

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).     

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.
