摄食对南方鲇耗氧和氨氮排泄的影响

采用流水式呼吸仪,在水温27.0±0.5℃条件下同时测定了南方鲇(Silurus meridionalisChen)摄食前后的耗氧率和排氨率。实验结果表明:摄食前标准耗氧率和标准排氨率分别为116.4±6.4mgO2/kg/h和6.9±1.4mgNH4 /kg/h。摄食后耗氧率和排氨率均呈现迅速上升,到达最大值后再缓慢下降,然后恢复到静止水平的变化趋势:最大值分别为358.8±11.4mgO2/kg/h和76.1±2.5mgNH4 /kg/h;最大值出现时间分别为10.8±1.4h和10.1±0.9h;摄食后耗氧率和排氨率发生改变的持续时间分别为36.0±2.3h和37.2±2.8h;耗氧总增量和排氨总增量分别为88.3±2.7mgO2和23.1±1.7mgNH4 。实验结果显示,鱼类排氨率在摄食后的变化过程与其耗氧率的特殊动力作用(SDA)具有类似的特征,表明二者在能量代谢机制上相互关联;南方鲇的SDA总耗能的79.4%由蛋白质分解代谢所提供。

水温和体重对白斑红点鲑临界游泳速度和游动耗氧率的影响

为了揭示水温和体重对白斑红点鲑(Salvelinus leucomaenis)临界游泳速度和游动耗氧率的影响,利用试验生态学方法测定了不同体重(1龄组、2龄组和3龄组)的白斑红点鲑在4、8、12、16、20和24℃共6个水温的临界游泳速度和游泳耗氧率。结果表明:水温和体重对临界游泳速度的单独效应均显著(P0.05),但水温和体重交互作用效应却不显著(P0.05),在相同水温下白斑红点鲑临界游泳速度均随着年龄的增长(体重增加)而增加。水温4℃时3个年龄组白斑红点鲑临界游泳速度均最低,分别为(21.6±1.06)、(22.93±0.61)和(30.27±1.29)cm/s,随着水温的升高临界游泳速度均不断增加,当水温升高到16℃时临界游泳速度达到最大值,分别为(39.6±0.80)、(46.80±0.80)和(53.73±1.22)cm/s,此后随着水温进一步升高到20℃,临界游泳速度虽出现略微降低,但经统计分析16℃和20℃时临界游泳速度无显著性差异(P0.05),当水温达到24℃时却出现明显降低。水温和流速以及二者的交互作用对游泳耗氧率的影响均达到显著水平(P0.05),白斑红点鲑在适宜的相同水温和流速时体重越大其游泳耗氧率越低,整体观察3个年龄组白斑红点鲑鲑游泳耗氧率均随着水温和流速的增高而增高,但当水温和流速升高到一定值游泳耗氧率却出现降低。研究得出体重较大的个体在相同水温下抵抗水流的游泳能力较强,3个年龄组白斑红点鲑适宜的最高水温不应超过20℃,最高流速依次不应超过32、40和48 cm/s。

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.

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.
