柔毛淫羊藿愈伤组织诱导及其总黄酮和淫羊藿苷含量测定

本研究旨在探讨柔毛淫羊藿愈伤组织的最佳诱导条件和愈伤组织中总黄酮、淫羊藿苷含量。采用正交试验设计方法研究不同外植体、培养基、培养温度和光照条件对柔毛淫羊藿愈伤组织诱导的影响,分光光度法测定愈伤组织中总黄酮含量,高效液相色谱法测定其中淫羊藿苷含量。结果显示,以幼叶为外植体,培养基为N6+2, 4-D 3 mg/L+6-BA 1 mg/L+NAA 0.5 mg/L,在黑暗或弱光(1 000 Lx)和(21±1)℃条件下愈伤组织诱导效果最好;愈伤组织中总黄酮和淫羊藿苷含量分别达5.24%和0.564%,与叶中含量无显著差异。初步建立了柔毛淫羊藿愈伤组织诱导的适宜培养条件,为高产淫羊藿总黄酮和淫羊藿苷的组培苗生产和细胞悬浮培养体系的建立提供了依据。     

荧光光谱法研究淫羊藿苷和淫羊藿次苷Ⅰ与牛血清白蛋白的相互作用

在模拟生理条件下应用荧光光谱学方法分别研究了淫羊藿苷和淫羊藿次苷Ⅰ与牛血清白蛋白（BSA）间的结合作用. 根据荧光强度数据,计算出了结合常数KA,结合位点数n和热力学参数（△G, △H 和△S）. 实验结果表明,淫羊藿苷和淫羊藿次苷Ⅰ都能显著猝灭BSA的内源荧光,猝灭机制均为形成基态复合物的单一静态猝灭过程. 不同温度下（17 ℃, 27 ℃, 37 ℃）得到的KA和n值,表明淫羊藿次苷Ⅰ与BSA的结合强于淫羊藿苷. 从得到的热力学参数判断,淫羊藿苷与BSA间的主要作用力是氢键作用和范德华力,而疏水作用和静电引力在淫羊藿次苷Ⅰ与BSA形成复合物过程中起主导作用.而且同步荧光光谱显示,淫羊藿苷和淫羊藿次苷Ⅰ与BSA的结合导致BSA构象发生了变化.

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.

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).
