采用热休克方法对中华绒螯蟹进行了三倍体、四倍体的人工诱导研究。结果表明,在卵子受精后（发育水温２０±１℃）１０～２５分钟,用３８～４１℃的高温处理１～２分钟,三倍体的平均诱导率为１０％～５０％,而对受精后３０分钟的卵子进行诱导,或在４０℃下处理超过２５分钟和处理温度高于４２℃诱导１５分钟的各试验组,均未检测到有三倍体胚胎。依据诱导三倍体的适宜诱导温度和处理时间,将受精后８１／２～９５／６小时的卵子用４０℃热休克处理１５分钟,均获得了一定比例的四倍体胚胎,其中四倍体最高诱导率为５２９６％。检查卵受精后８５／６小时经热休克处理所孵得的氵蚤状幼体,其四倍体的出现频率约为１９７％。讨论了热休克处理促使第一极体保留生产三倍体和抑制第一次卵裂诱导四倍体的条件和技术关键,以及诱导参数与胚胎发育、胚胎存活的相互关系等问题。     

鱼类染色体组操作的研究 Ⅱ.静水压处理和静水压与冷休克结合处理诱导水晶彩鲫四倍体

采用静水压处理和静水压与冷休克结合处理两种方法进行了抑制第一次卵裂诱导水晶彩鲫四倍体的研究。水晶彩鯽受精卵在受精后(发育水温14—15℃)50、54、55和60min时的静水压(650kg/cm~2)处理(3min)组中都出现了四倍化胚胎,而在受精后48和48min以前的相同处理组中都没有观察到四倍化胚胎。在受精后(发育水温16-18℃)48、50、52、55、56和60min时的静水压与冷休克结合处理组中,也都出现了四倍化胚胎,且四倍化率比仅用静水压处理高,但存活率更低。在经过处理而发育形成的胚胎中,既有四倍体、次四倍体和4n/2n嵌合体,也有二倍体和次二倍体,并在一些次二倍体和次四倍体中期相中还观察到休克处理致使染色体断裂的痕迹——染色体片段。在抑制卵裂诱发加倍的效应期内,可能存在瞬间对休克耐受性较强的时期,而在此前后,对休克更为敏感。在少数处理组中,已筛选出了数尾四倍体鱼。文中还对鱼类四倍体的诱导技术、抑制卵裂诱发染色体组加倍的效应期以及四倍化胚胎的存活率和生命力等有关问题进行了分析和讨论。     

白鲫（♀）×红鲫（♂）异源四倍体鱼的倍性操作及其生殖力的研究

采用热休克调控技术诱导出103尾第一代白鲫（♀）×红鲫（）异源四倍体鱼,并对其生殖力进行了研究。1或2龄的四倍体雄鱼能产生精子,而雌鱼不能产生正常的卵。将异源四倍体雄鱼与二倍体白鲫雌鱼交配产生倍间三倍体鱼,染色体检查证明是整三倍体（3N＝150）,但其受精率很低（11．4—51．3％,平均32．4％）．网箱养殖结果表明,倍间三倍体白鲫的生长速度比白鲫快30％以上,雌雄均不育．并用冷休克处理回收异源四倍体4N（）×白鲫2N（♀）受精卵的第二极体产生了新的四倍体鱼．文中还对第一代异源四倍体鱼的批量生产、生殖能力以及异源三倍体鱼的生产应用进行了讨论．     

热休克诱导虹鳟四倍体

虹鳟卵受精后5—9小时期间,用热休克处理,12月龄时检查,四倍体出现频率为5％。较高的温度处理可导致卵的高死亡率。2n=60的虹鳟核型中,有中部和亚中部着丝点染色体22对,近端着丝点染色体1对,端部着丝点染色体7对,总臂数NF=104。4n=120的虹鳟四倍体核型中,有22套中部和亚中部着丝点染色体,1套近端着丝点染色体,和7套端部着丝点染色体,总臂数NF=208。未发现有染色体倍性镶嵌的个体。分析比较了二倍体和四倍体两类鱼的红细胞及其核的9个度量值(DNA相对含量,细胞及核的长轴、短轴,面积和体积),为应用红细胞鉴定四倍体虹鳟提供了倍性标准。在形态、解剖和生长速度方面未发现两类鱼有什么差别。     

罗氏沼虾四倍体诱导的研究

对罗氏沼虾卵子极体排出时间和第一次卵裂时间进行了观察,并在此基础上,采用热休克和细胞松弛素 B(C,B)两种诱导方法成功诱导出了罗氏沼虾四倍体。石蜡切片显示,当罗氏沼虾卵子完全成熟时,第一极体已经 排出。第二极体排出的时间约在受精后55min。经过雌性原核和雄性原核的联会,第一次卵裂的时间约在受精后 210-230min。设计了多种处理条件,其中热休克诱导罗氏沼虾四倍体的最好条件是:受精后210min,用40℃水温处 理胚胎1．5min,在这种条件下,最高可以得到35．86％的四倍体率;而C．B诱导罗氏沼虾四倍体的最好条件是:受精 后230min,用1．0mg/L的C．B处理胚胎10min,此时最高四倍体诱导率达33．78％。     

热休克预处理对TNF-α诱导的RAW264.7巨噬细胞迁移的影响

热休克反应是机体中一个重要的内源性保护机制,但其对TNF-α诱导的单核/巨噬细胞迁移有无影响目前尚不清楚.采用酶联免疫吸附实验观察TNF-α(20μg/L)刺激RAW264.7巨噬细胞4h后炎症因子IL-1β、IL-6、IL-15的表达情况;Western blot验证热休克预处理诱导热休克蛋白表达的增加;利用细胞趋化实验观察热休克预处理(42℃,1h)对TNF-α所致巨噬细胞迁移的影响.研究发现,TNF-α可明显促进RAW264.7细胞株中IL-1β、IL-6、IL-15等炎症因子的释放;热休克预处理诱导热休克蛋白HSP70、HSP90、HSP25表达增加;细胞趋化实验发现TNF-α处理的RAW264.7细胞迁移能力较正常对照组明显增强,而热休克预处理组巨噬细胞的迁移能力较单纯TNF-α处理组明显减弱.上述结果表明,热休克预处理抑制TNF-α所致巨噬细胞的迁移.     

热休克预处理提高猪成肌细胞自体正常肌肉移植后的生存率

研究表明成肌细胞移植有可能用于治疗Duchenne型肌营养不良(Duchenne muscular dystrophy, DMD)、心衰和严重肌肉损伤. 移植后成肌细胞快速大量的死亡是影响该方法疗效的一个主要难题. 细胞在受到各种刺激后会过度表达热休克蛋白(heat shock protein, HSP). 体外和体内实验均已证实HSP能帮助细胞对抗多种有害刺激. 本实验针对HSP的过度表达能否提高猪成肌细胞自体正常肌肉移植后的存活率进行研究. 猪成肌细胞经过42℃, 1 h的热休克后会过度表达HSP. 通过Western blot 和流式细胞仪来定量检测猪成肌细胞中HSP的表达; 同时分析细胞中的CD56和结合蛋白含量, 从而了解休克后细胞的肌源性有无变化. 利用放射性H³定量分析移植后细胞的生存率. 借助慢病毒载体(Lentivector Lac Z)监测移植后成肌细胞与宿主细胞的融合情况. 结果表明热休克预处理后成肌细胞的HSP70显著增高(P<0.01), 并且细胞的肌源性无变化. 成肌细胞体内移植后(n=7), 24 h时热休克组和非热休克组的细胞存活率无显著性差异((67.69 ± 8.35)% vs (58.79 ± 8.35)%, P>0.05). 48 h时热休克组细胞存活率比非热休克组的高2倍((53.32 ± 8.22)% vs (28.27 ± 6.32)%, P<0.01). 120 h时热休克组细胞存活率比非热休克组的高3倍((26.33 ± 5.54)% vs (8.79 ± 2.51)%, P<0.01). 组织学检查显示; 热休克细胞和非热休克细胞均能与宿主细胞融合. 这些结果提示热休克预处理能增强成肌细胞HSP70的表达, 并可提高成肌细胞自体移植后的生存率. 体外热休克预处理是一个简单有效的能改善猪成肌细胞自体移植生存率的方法. 这也许是一个解决成肌细胞移植后存活率低的方法.

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).
