革鲀科鳞片构造的扫描电镜观察和比较研究

革鲀科的鳞片构造不同于一般真骨鱼类的骨鳞,由特化的基板和鳞棘两部分组成。中国有革鲀科鱼类12属19种,本文研究了其中10属14种的鳞片构造,运用扫描电镜进行了观察和比较。根据基板表面棱突的特征,可将革鲀科基板构造分为3个式型、2个亚型;根据鳞棘数目、形状及排列方式的不同,可以划分为4个式型。革鲀科各种间的鳞片具有不同的性状,而且比较稳定,因此可以作为分类鉴定的依据之一。     

直瓣苣苔属、筒花苣苔属和吊石苣苔属4个种的核形态学研究

本文报道了苦苣苔科直瓣苣苔属Ancylostemon、筒花苣苔属Briggsiopsis和吊石苣苔属Lysionotus 中4个种的染色体数目和核形态。凹瓣苣苔A．aureus的染色体数目为n=34,与其近缘种凸瓣苣苔 A．convexus的染色体数目相同。该种的核型公式为2n=20m(1sat)+14sm,核型类型属于2A。间期核 为复杂染色中心型(complex chromocenter type);细胞有丝分裂前期的染色体为近基型(proximal type) 我国特有单种属筒花苣苔属Briggsiopsis的间期核为简单—复杂染色中心型(simple-complex chromocenter type);细胞有丝分裂前期的染色体为中间—渐变型(interstitial—gradient type);核型公式为2n=34=25m +6sm+3st,与近缘类群——粗筒苣苔属Briggsia染色体数目2n=34,68相比,无论染色体数目还是核 型均显示比较原始的特征。吊石苣苔属的蒙自吊石苣苔L．carnosus和翅茎吊石苣苔L．serratus D． Don var．pterocaulis的核型公式分别是2n=30=21m+5sm+3st+1t和2n=32=21m+10sm+1t。核 型类型分别属于2A和2B。间期核均为简单—复杂染色中心型(simple-complex chromocenter type);细胞 有丝分裂前期的染色体为渐变型(gradient type)。     

菝葜科种皮微结构特征及其分类学意义

在光学显微镜和扫描电镜下对菝葜科Smilacaceae3个属(菝葜属Smilax、肖菝葜属Heterosmilax和Ripogonum属)共53种5变种植物的种子形态及种皮微形态特征进行了研究。结果表明其种子形状为球形、半球形或钝三角形。在扫描电镜下种子表皮纹饰可分为7种类型,即脑纹型、粗脑纹型、网纹型、细网纹型、孔穴型、密孔穴型和细条纹型。根据种皮微形态的特征,对菝葜科内属间和属内组间的关系进行了探讨。种皮形态分析结果支持将Ripogonum属从菝葜科中分离、独立成科,支持将肖菝葜属与菝葜属合并的观点,这与孢粉学和分子证据的分析结果一致;推测肖菝葜属和菝葜属的土茯苓组sect.Coilanthus及草本组sect.Coprosmanthus的多数种类之间亲缘关系较近,菝葜组sect.China和圆锥组sect.Macranthae的大多数种类之间的亲缘关系较为密切,但种皮形态证据不支持Koyama将菝葜属分为6个组的观点。

中国蕨类植物细胞分类学研究概况

中国蕨类植物类群十分丰富,由63科230属约2600种组成,其中约有10％的种类为中国特有。迄今为止,中国蕨类植物进行过染色体计数的种类约有395种,仅占中国蕨类植物总数的15％,其中48％为多倍体。本文对中国蕨类植物细胞分类学研究的历史和现状进行了综合评述。文中论述了蕨类植物染色体数目和染色体基数在系统学上的应用以及蕨类植物染色体组型分析、多倍化、无融合生殖、多倍体复合体及网状进化的研究概况。中国20多年的蕨类植物细胞分类学研究表明,蕨类植物的染色体数目、基数、组型分析、多倍化及其繁殖方式对蕨类植物的分类、起源和演化的研究都有重要作用,对种及种复合体的鉴定、科属的划分也有重要的参考价值。并对中国蕨类植物细胞分类学研究提出了一些建议。     

Genomic imbalances in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma identified by molecular cytogenetic techniques

This review summarizes the chromosomal changes detected by molecular cytogenetic approaches in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the ninth most common malignancy in the world. Whole genome analyses of ESCC cell lines and tumors indicated that the most frequent genomic gains occurred at 1, 2q, 3q, 5p, 6p, 7, 8q, 9q, 11q, 12p, 14q, 15q, 16, 17, 18p, 19q, 20q, 22q and X, with focal amplifications at 1q32, 2p16-22, 3q25-28, 5p13-15.3, 7p12-22, 7q21-22, 8q23-24.2, 9q34, 10q21, 11p11.2, 11q13, 13q32, 14q13-14, 14q21, 14q31-32, 15q22-26, 17p11.2, 18p11.2-11.3 and 20p11.2. Recurrent losses involved 3p, 4, 5q, 6q, 7q, 8p, 9, 10p, 12p, 13, 14p, 15p, 18, 19p, 20, 22, Xp and Y. Gains at 5p and 7q, and deletions at 4p, 9p, and 11q were significant prognostic factors for patients with ESCC. Gains at 6p and 20p, and losses at 10p and 10q were the most significant imbalances, both in primary carcinoma and in metastases, which suggested that these regions may harbor oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Gains at 12p and losses at 3p may be associated with poor relapse-free survival. The clinical applicability of these changes as markers for the diagnosis and prognosis of ESCC, or as molecular targets for personalized therapy should be evaluated.     

Coccidian parasites (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from insectivores. II. Six new species from Japanese shrew moles (Talpidae)

Thirty-eight of 51 (74.5%) shrew moles collected in Japan were infected with from one to four species of Eimeria and/or Isospora including six of six Dymecodon pilirostris and 32 of 45 (71.1%) Urotrichus talpoides. Four eimerians and two isosporans were identified and all are described as new species. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria amorphospora n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 21.1 x 17.9 (18-25 x 16-21) micrometers. Sporocysts were amorphous, gelatinoid envelopes greater than or equal to 20.3 x 7.5 (17-24 x 7-9) micrometers. Sporozoites were enclosed together within a membrane in each sporocyst. This species was found in 9 of 45 (20%) U. talpoides. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria gonocilia n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 28.8 x 24.4 (25-30 x 21-28) micrometers; a highly ornate outer oocyst wall gave the appearance of a ciliated ball. Sporocysts ovoid, pointed at both ends, were 17.0 x 9.9 (15-19 x 7-11) micrometers; this species was found in 4 of 45 (8.9%) U. talpoides. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria talpoidei n. sp. were asymmetrical ovoid, 20.6 x 13.3 (18-23 x 12-15) micrometers, with sporocysts lacrimiform, 12.0 x 5.8 (10-14 x 5-7) micrometers. This species was found in 7 of 45 (15.6%) U. talpoides. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria honshuensis n. sp. were ellipsoid, 15.5 x 11.4 (13-18 x 10-13) micrometers, with sporocysts ovoid, 9.1 x 5.2 (8-10 x 4-6) micrometers. This species was found in 10 of 45 (22.2%) U. talpoides and in 5 of 6 (83.3%) D. pilirostris. sporulated oocysts of Isospora dymecodi n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 15.8 x 12.6 (13-17 x 11-13) micrometers, with sporocysts ovoid, 9.1 x 5.2 (8-10 x 4-6) micrometers. This species was found in 10 of 45 (22.2%) U. talpoides and in 5 of 6 (83.3%) D. pilirostris. Sporulated oocysts of Isospora dymecodi n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 15.8 x 12.6 (13-17 x 11-13) micrometers, with sporocysts ellipsoid, 10.9 x 6.9 (10-13 x 6-8). This species was found in six of six D. pilirostris. Sporulated oocysts of Isospora urotrichi n. sp. were spheroid/subspheroid, 13.4 x 12.4 (11-16 x 9-14) micrometers, with sporocysts ovoid, 9.2 x 6.3 (8-11 x 5-7) micrometers. This species was found in 27 of 45 (60%) U. Talpoides. Only 14 of 38 (36.8%) infected hosts (one D. pilirostris, 13 U. talpoides) were seen to be naturally infected with only one coccidian species when sampled.     

Fatty acid structural requirements for activity of arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase

We have examined the fatty acid substrate specificity of arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase from human platelet membranes. A variety of positional isomers and chain-length analogs of arachidonic acid [20:4(5, 8, 11, 14)] were synthesized, and assayed for their ability to inhibit arachidonoyl-CoA formation or to serve as substrates for the synthetase. The chain-length specificity of the synthetase for delta 8,11,14 trienoic fatty acids was C19 greater than C18 = C20 much greater than C21 greater C22. Inhibition activity by positional isomers of arachidonate was 20:4(5, 8, 11, 14) approximately equal to 20:4(6, 9, 12, 15) = 20:4(7, 10, 13, 16) much greater than 20:4(4, 7, 10, 13), however, Vmax for arachidonate was greater than that for 20:4(6, 9, 12, 15). The enzyme apparently "counts" double bonds from the carboxyl terminus. As counted from the methyl terminus we found that several n-6,-9,-12 fatty acids were ineffective as inhibitors [18:3(6, 9, 12); 19:4)4, 7, 10, 13); 21:3(9, 12, 15)], whereas all methylene-interrupted tri- and tetraenoic fatty acids which contained delta 8 and delta 11 double bonds were potent inhibitors. The delta 11 double bond was best associated with optimal inhibition: 20:3(5, 11, 14) had a lower Ki than 20:3(5, 8, 14). 13-Methyl-20:3(8, 11, 14) did not inhibit the enzyme. Partially purified enzyme from calf brain, depleted of nonspecific long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, exhibited the same fatty acid specificity as crude platelet enzyme.     

WOOD ANATOMY OF THE NEW GENUS MANGLIETIASTRUM LAW OF MAGNOLIACEAE FROM CHINA IN RELATION TO ALLIED GENERA

The present paper contributes the knowledge of wood structure of Manglie- tiastrum sinicum Law, a new monotypic genus of the family Magnoliaceae. The anatomical feature of this wood is described as follows: Diffuse-porous wood ; pores 15-25 per sq. mm, solitary or in radial multiples of 3- 4 (may be up to 6) pore cluster also occur but rare, more or less angular in shape, perforation plates scalariform, with 6-12 bors (may be up to 17), generally 7-8 or 10, intervascular pittings scalariform with fine spiral thickenings; vessel elements 748-1224, generally 876 longl wood rays heterogeneous, type IIA with 1-2, sometimes 3-4 rows of upright cells on both margins, uniserate rays 3-7 cells (may be up to 13) or 193-230u high, the multiseriate rays 3-5 cells or 68-119.2u wide, and 16-22 cells or 340-748u height; oil cells absent, fiber-tracheids 0.8-2.8 mm, generally 1.5 mm long; wood parenchma terminal, narrow banded (generally 7-8 cells wide, may be up to 12), rarely scanty paratracheal.     

高原特有条鳅鱼类两新种在广西的发现及其动物地理学意义

描述了采自广西都安县红水河水系的条鳅亚科鱼类2个新种：丽纹云南鳅yhnnanilus pulcherrimussp．nov．在侧线长度、鳞片分布、鳍条数目、尾型、吻须长度等方面与侧纹云南鳅yunnanilus pleurotaenia(Regan,1904)最为相似,但新种独特的斑纹和上下唇的长乳突可明显与之区别,二者在一些度量特征上也有区别。黄体高原鳅Triplophysa flavicorpus sp．nov．与同分布于西江水系的南丹高原鳅T．nandanensis Lan et al．较为相似,并以下列特征组合与高原鳅属所有已知种相区别：背鳍分枝鳍条10根、臀鳍分枝鳍条6～7根、体被细鳞、侧线完全、具6条宽横斑和1条沿侧线的细纵纹、尾鳍深分又、尾鳍基具1半圆形黑斑、尾鳍上下叶各具2条黑色横斑、腹鳍末端后伸超过肛门、腋部具发达的肉质鳍瓣、上唇中央完全中断等。云南鳅属和高原鳅属均是高原特有类群,前者仅分布于云南东中部地区,后者则集中分布于青藏高原。两个新种的分布地均远离这两个属的分布中心,而且呈间断分布。通过各自相近种谱系关系分析,推测这种特殊的分布格局是通过隔域分化形成的。

ZOO-FISH Suggests a Complete Homology between Human and Capuchin Monkey (Platyrrhini) Euchromatin

Chromosome comparisons usingin situhybridization of all human chromosome-specific libraries on Capuchin monkey (Cebus capucinus,Cebidae, Platyrrhini) metaphases were performed with a new technique simultaneously revealing a G-banding and chromosome “painting.” A complete homology between human (HSA) andC. capucinus(CCA) chromosomes was demonstrated, except for constitutive heterochromatin. ElevenC. capucinuschromosomes are homologous to 11 human chromosomes: CCA 2 = HSA 4; CCA 3 = HSA 6; CCA 12 = HSA 9; CCA 16 = HSA 11; CCA 10 = HSA 12; CCA 11 = HSA 13; CCA 20 = HSA 17; CCA 8 = HSA 19; CCA 23 = HSA 20; CCA 24 = HSA 22; and CCA X = HSA X. TenC. capucinuschromosomes are homologous to parts of human chromosomes: CCA 13 = HSA 8q; CCA 14 = HSA 2q; CCA 15 = HSA 1p + 1q proximal; CCA 17 = HSA 7 part; CCA 18 and 19 = HSA 3 part; CCA 21 and 22 = HSA 1q distal; CCA 25 = HSA 10p; and CCA 26 = HSA 15q part. SixC. capucinuschromosomes are homologous to parts of two human chromosomes: CCA 1 = HSA 5 + 7 part; CCA 4 = HSA 2p + q proximal + 16q; CCA 5 = HSA 10q + 16p; CCA 6 = HSA 14 + 15 part; CCA 7 = HSA 8p + 18; and CCA 9 = HSA 3 part + 21. Many previous banding comparisons were confirmed but several cryptic or complex rearrangements could be identified. With theC. capucinuskaryotype having been shown to be fairly ancestral, this comparison opens the possibility to compare human chromosomes to most Cebidae species.     

Synthesis, spectral analysis and in vitro microbiological evaluation of novel ethyl 4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-2-oxo-6-arylcyclohex-3-enecarboxylates and 4,5-dihydro-6-(napthalen-2-yl)-4-aryl-2H-indazol-3-ols

A series of ethyl 4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-2-oxo-6-arylcyclohex-3-enecarboxylates 8-14 and 4,5-dihydro-6-(naphthalen-2-yl)-4-aryl-2H-indazol-3-ols 15-21 were synthesised and characterised by their spectroscopic data. In vitro microbiological evaluations were carried out for all the newly synthesised compounds 8-21 against clinically isolated bacterial and fungal strains. Compounds 9, 12 and 20 against Staphylococcus aureus, 10, 12, 20 against β-haemolytic streptococcus, 11, 17 against Bacillus subtilis, 12, 16 and 20 against Vibreo cholerae, 13, 16 against Escherichia coli, 13, 16, 18, 19 against Salmonella typhii, 12, 18 against Shigella flexneri, 10 against Salmonella typhii, 10, 13, 17, 18 against Aspergillus flavus, 12, 17, 21 against Aspergillus niger, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20 against Mucor, Rhizopus and Microsporeum gypsuem exhibit potent antimicrobial activity.
