应用微孔滤膜法检测尿液细菌的实验

本文应用微孔滤膜法和标准白金耳直接法平行培养检查了１２８例中段尿。提示在临床细菌检验工作中,一般用于鉴别尿路感染所做的尿液细菌计数采用标准白金耳法为好,因其操作简便,并可取得同样满意的结果。若受感染者正在接受抗菌药物治疗或患侧输尿管梗阻,尿液被过度稀释及某些细菌繁殖力低等因素,均可使每毫升尿液的细菌数小于１０４,如此情况用微孔滤膜法可相对提高阳性检出率。本文应用上述两法检测了奈瑟氏淋菌,其结果说明：微孔滤膜法较白全耳法检出例数明显增高,两者比较有显著差异。

采用80MeV／u^20Ne^10 叶离子束贯穿处理豆科与禾本科牧草种子,从实验室种子萌发和根尖细胞的观测分析,随着贯穿剂量的增加,幼苗生长明显减弱,呈负相关性;而染色体总畸变率和徽核率随剂量的增加而显著增加,呈正相关性。结果表明：禾本科牧草比豆科牧草对重离子辐射敏感性强,禾本科牧草适宜剂量为20Gy～30Gy,豆科牧草辐照剂量应高于150Gy。     

核重编程机制的影响因素

哺乳动物体细胞核移植技术在农业、生物技术、医药生产和濒危动物保护等方面具有很大的潜力和应用价值,已成为目前发育生物学研究的重要方法。但是核重编程仍是核移植技术的关键因素,制约了重构胚胎干细胞的研究。只有供核发生完全重编程,重构胚胎才能正常发育。核重编程与供核者的年龄,供核细胞的组织来源、分化状态、细胞周期、传代次数,供核细胞的表观遗传标记以及供卵者的年龄、卵子的成熟度等因素有关。创造各种适于核重编程的条件有利于从更高的起点开展核移植胚胎干细胞的研究,提高重枸胚胎干细胞建系效率。     

体细胞核移植后核重编程的影响因素

近年来,人类核移植胚胎干细胞建系成为一项炙手可热的研究,用再生医学的理念治疗退行性疾病及器官移植为这一研究带来无穷的魅力和生命力;但是核重编程仍是核移植技术的瓶颈,制约了重构胚胎干细胞的研究。核重编程是指供体细胞核移入卵母细胞后必须停止本身的基因表达程序并恢复为胚胎发育所必需的特定的胚胎表达程序。只有供核发生完全重编程,重构胚胎才能正常发育。核重编程与供核者的年龄,供核细胞的组织来源、分化状态、细胞周期、传代次数,供核的表遗传标记以及供卵者的年龄、卵子的成熟度等因素有关。一般来说,颗粒细胞作为核供体最易被核重编程。供核者为胎体或新生体,供核细胞处于低分化状态或已传数代,供核细胞经过去表遗传标记处理,供卵者性成熟且年龄轻、卵子核与胞浆都成熟等均为有利于核重编程的因素。重构胚胎的培养方法对核重编程也至关重要,目前主张使用序贯培养及体细胞化培养。创造各种适于核重编程的条件有利于从更高的起点开展核移植胚胎干细胞研究,提高重构胚胎干细胞建系效率。     

人椎间盘髓核来源的诱导多能干细胞重编程及功能的研究

椎间盘退变始发于髓核组织,获得足够有功能的髓核细胞是研究及治疗椎间盘退变的关键.而人诱导多能干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cell,iPSC)不仅为建立疾病模型以研究疾病发生发展机制开辟了道路,还在再生医学领域展现出了广阔的应用前景.我们首先从椎间盘退变患者微创手术获得的髓核组织内分离髓核细胞,将携带OCT3/4、SOX2、KLF4和c-MYC的仙台病毒(Sendai virus,Se V)转染髓核细胞,重编程获得iPSC.通过检测多能细胞特异性标志、体内成瘤实验、甲基化及核型分析对所获得的iPSC进行鉴定.并以皮肤成纤维细胞来源iPSC作为对照,在二维和三维水凝胶中对iPSC进行定向分化,检测髓核细胞相关蛋白和基因的表达,比较分析2种iPSC向髓核细胞的分化效率.结果显示,iPSC能表达多能细胞特异性标志,具有正常的二倍体核型,畸胎瘤实验显示三个胚层的出现.诱导分化后的iPSC表达髓核相关基因和蛋白,在水凝胶中诱导培养后,iPSC表达更多的髓核相关基因和蛋白.髓核来源的iPSC与成纤维细胞来源的iPSC相比,可表达更多的髓核相关基因和蛋白.本研究首次将患者退变髓核细胞重编程成iPSC,并在水凝胶内将其诱导分化为髓核样细胞,为椎间盘退变个体化细胞治疗奠定基础.

低能重离子在作物种胚内射程分布的研究技术

我国科学工作者率先将低能重离子束成功地应用于作物诱变育种,并建立了能量,质量和电荷三因子作用机制体系,但至今有关理论射程很短的低能重离子注入生物体后如何通过信息传递而诱发生物学效应的机理尚不完全清楚,低能重离子在作物种胚内的实际射程分布迄今仍是一个颇有争议的热点问题,而该项研究就直接触及低能离子束与生物组织细胞的原初作用机制,应用低能放射性束或具有可探测放射性的核反应产物,通过超薄切片和逐层分析测定,即可定量计算不同能量的低能离子束在作物种胚内的射程分布,本文还探讨了激光共聚焦扫描显微镜,原子力显微镜,X-射线能谱分析技术,单粒子微束技术和图像处理等技术途径在该项研究中的应用。

Assessment of Pollution-Induced Microbial Community Tolerance to Heavy Metals in Soil Using Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria and Biolog Assay

This study attempted to investigate if the tolerance of soil bacterial communities in general, and autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in particular, evolved as a result of prolonged exposure to metals, and could be used as an indigenous bioindicator for soil metal pollution. A soil contaminated with copper, chromium, and arsenic (CCA) was mixed with an uncontaminated garden soil (GS3) to make five test soils with different metal concentrations. A modified potential ammonium oxidation assay was used to determine the metal tolerance of the AOB community. Tolerance to Cr, Cu, and As was tested at the beginning and after up to 13 months of incubation. Compared with the reference GS3 soil, the five CCA soils showed significantly higher tolerance to Cr no matter which form of Cr (Cr³⁺, CrO₄ ^2?, or Cr₂O₇ ^2?) was tested, and the Cr tolerance correlated with the total soil Cr concentration. However, the tolerance to Cu²⁺, As³⁺, and As⁵⁺ did not differ significantly between the GS3 soil and the five CCA soils. Community level physiological profiles using Biolog microtiter plates were also used to examine the chromate tolerance of the bacterial communities extracted after six months of exposure. Our results showed that the bacterial community tolerance was altered and increased as the soil Cr concentration was increased, indicating that the culturable microbial community and the AOB community responded in a similar manner.

An Investigation of the Soil Property Changes and Heavy Metal Accumulation in Relation to Long-term Wastewater Irrigation in the Semi-arid Region of Iran

Concentrations and spatial distribution of Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb along two landscapes including a wastewater-irrigated area and a control area were determined to assess the impact of long-term wastewater irrigation and landscape properties on heavy metal contamination. Some disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were taken from soil trenches and soil cores, located on three main landscape positions (upper slope, midslope, and lower slope) in northwestern Iran. The investigation showed that the mean concentration of the heavy metals followed the order Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd in the wastewater-irrigated soil and Pb > Zn > Cu > Cd in the control soils. On average, compared to similar positions in the control region, the wastewater-irrigated regions contained 3.0 (midslope) to 4.9 (lower slope), 2.7 (midslope) to 4.6 (lower slope), 3.3 (upper slope) to 4.1 (lower slope), and 1.7 (upper slope) to 2.6 (lower slope) times higher amounts of Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb, respectively. Significant positive relationships (P < 0.05) were recorded between the heavy metals concentration with <0.002 mm particle-size fraction and organic matter content, the fractions linked to runoff and soil erosion. It is believed that the two soil fractions play a crucial role in the distribution of the metals along the wastewater-irrigated landscape. Despite the significant increase of heavy metals (P < 0.05) in the wastewater-irrigated soils compared with control soils, the concentration of all evaluated metals was below the maximum accepted limits (Zn < 300 mg/kg, Cu < 100 mg/kg, Cd < 5 mg/kg, and Pb < 100 mg/kg), and grouped as “not-enriched” to “moderately-enriched” categories regarding the topsoil enrichment index. Overall, the lower slope was shown to be more contaminated with the heavy metals compared to the other positions.

Constitutive Expression of Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) Protein by Human Amniotic Membrane Cells Leads to Formation of the Heavy Chain (HC)-Hyaluronan (HA)-PTX3 Complex

Heavy chain (HC)-hyaluronan (HA), a complex formed by the covalent linkage between HC1 from the inter-α-trypsin inhibitor (IαI) and HA, purified from the human amniotic membrane (AM), is responsible for the anti-inflammatory, antiscarring, and antiangiogenic actions of the AM. This HC-HA complex is produced by constitutive expression of TNF-stimulated gene 6 and endogenous production of IαI by AM cells. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a prototypic long pentraxin that plays a non-redundant role in innate immunity against selected pathogens, also helps stabilize HC-HA to ensure female fertility. Here we noted strong positive PTX3 staining in the AM epithelium and compact stroma. PTX3 was constitutively expressed and secreted by cultured AM epithelial and stromal cells and, further, greatly up-regulated by TNF and IL-1β. Using an agarose overlay to trap the HA-containing matrix, the HC-HA-PTX3 complex was formed, as analyzed by Western blot analysis, by AM cells but not human skin fibroblasts, despite being cultured in the presence of serum and TNF. However, exogenous PTX3 helps human skin fibroblasts form the HC-HA-PTX3 complex with an agarose overlay. Furthermore, PTX3 can be coimmunoprecipitated with the HC-HA complex from agarose-overlaid AM cell extracts by an anti-human IαI antibody. Such a HC-HA-PTX3 complex can be reconstituted in vitro and exhibit similar effects as those reported for AM HC-HA-PTX3 on polarization of M2 macrophages. The tight binding between PTX3 and AM HC-HA withstands four runs of CsCl ultracentrifugation in the presence of 4 m GnHCl. These results indicate that PTX3 is constitutively expressed and secreted by AM cells as an integral component of the AM HC-HA-PTX3 complex and contributes to the biological function of AM HC-HA-PTX3.     

Study and Identification of Retention Process of Heavy Metals by Adsorption on Agricultural Byproducts

This present study considers the adsorption of cations of heavy metals (zinc, cadmium, copper) which are frequently encountered in industrial wastewaters. The solid material used as adsorbent is nonactivated carbon obtained from a local cereal byproduct. In order to assess this material, adsorbents obtained from other agricultural byproducts, such as almond and peanuts shells, have also been tested. Adsorption isotherms have been determined and the influence of various parameters, such as the particle size, the solid‐liquid contacting time, the pH of the solution, the initial concentration, the mixing velocity, the temperature and the ratio solid mass over solution volume, have been considered. The case of simultaneous presence of metallic cations in the solution has also been considered in order to examine their affinity towards the adsorbent. An attempt to determine whether the retention of the cations is a pure adsorption or an ion exchange has also been carried out. Retention yield values exceeding 90 % have been reached with an initial concentration of 10 mg/L, a temperature of 20 °C, a particle size smaller than 0.1 mm, a mixing velocity of 600 rev/min, a ratio of 0.5 g adsorbent over 50 ml of solution and a pH varying between 3 and 6.
