北京地区黑线仓鼠年龄鉴定及种群年龄组成的研究

鼠类种群年龄组成的研究是种群生态学的基础内容。种群年龄组成的变化,直接关系到鼠类数量的波动。黑线仓鼠(Cricetulus barabensis)是北京地区农田的主要害鼠之一,为探讨该鼠种在农田生态系统中的作用,并控制其危害,研究其种群年龄组成及变化是非常必要的。     

仙湖苏铁种群年龄判断及年龄结构特征

根据苏铁类植株体残存的营养叶叶基数、开花痕数以及生长单元发生率等茎干特征, 建立了仙湖苏铁种群年龄判断方法,计算出该种群年龄. 进一步采用年龄结构图、年龄分布 曲线和曲线估计等方法,从基株和无性系水平探讨了仙湖苏铁种群的年龄结构特征.年龄结构 图显示,仙湖苏铁无性系种群为稳定种群,基株种群为衰退种群;年龄分布曲线和曲线估计结 果则表明仙湖苏铁无性系和基株种群均为衰退种群. 综合3种方法的分析结果,仙湖苏铁 种群为衰退种群,必须采取一定措施予以保护.     

黑线仓鼠种群年龄组成及其数量季节消长的研究

本文对黑线仓鼠的上臼齿磨损程度进行了系统观察,共采标本553只,结合生殖系统的解剖记录,确定以右侧上臼齿的磨损程度将黑线仓鼠划分为5个年龄组。探讨了年龄与体长、体重及繁殖力的相互关系,以及种群数量季节消长与气候条件及种群结构的关系。结果表明,黑线仓鼠年龄越大,雌鼠的繁殖力越高,但平均怀仔量并不随年龄增大而增加。体重、体长不易作为划分黑线仓鼠年龄组的指标。种群数量与大降雨量呈明显的负相关,但种群的年龄结构对数量消长起着主要作用。

格氏栲种群个体年龄与胸径的时间序列模型研究

本文提出格氏栲种群以年轮确定种群个体年龄并与胸径、树高确定种群个体年龄有机结合的时间序列预测个体年龄方法。通过时间序列分析,确定出格氏栲种群个体年龄与胸径关系的ＡＲＩＭＡ（１,２,０）模型,经检验该模型的相似性系数为９３．４８％,即该模型预测胸径生长量是可靠的。同时,通过ＡＲＩ－ＭＡ（１,２,０）模型预测结果与实际调查材料组合起来,建立较为准确反映个体年龄的组合模型：Ａ＝１０．１５４５１＋１．１１３８５１Ｄ＋０．０４２２００４９Ｄ２－０．０００２２７３０３Ｄ３式中Ｄ为格氏栲种群个体胸径,Ａ为格氏栲种群个体年龄,相关指数为０．９９９８。可见,组合模型的格氏栲种群个体胸径与年龄回归关系极显著,效果理想,为相应研究提供一个较为可靠的方法。     

紫萁年龄判断及其种群年龄结构分析初探

根据紫萁地下根状茎长度、叶残基痕迹及叶柄基径等与年龄相关的性状特征,该文建立了紫萁年龄判断模型,用以计算广西越城岭地区紫萁种群个体年龄,并采用年龄结构图方法,探讨该地区紫萁种群的年龄结构特征。结果表明:紫萁这种多年生草本蕨类植物达到一定年龄后,地上部分性状趋于稳定,对其年龄判断,只能选择地下根状茎作为研究对象;蕨类植物没有活跃的维管形成层,不能形成完整的次生维管结构,其地下根状茎的直径与年龄之间无显著相关关系,判断其年龄可根据地下根状茎的长度确定。越城岭山脉一带的紫萁种群趋于老龄化,幼龄级个体缺乏,更新能力弱,大量采摘或挖掘紫萁植株,极大地影响了紫萁天然更新和种群结构。     

用粪便形态特征初步研究新疆塔里木马鹿种群年龄和性别

塔里木马鹿分布在干旱地区,是唯一的适应干旱荒漠环境的特殊马鹿亚种之一.目前,塔里木马鹿种群面临着栖息地退缩和片段化的双重影响,这不仅导致了种群数量的锐减,而且也因物种遗传漂变和近亲繁殖的不断增加,进一步加剧其濒危程度.为了有效地保护该物种,全面了解种群结构是至关重要.对塔里木马鹿粪便的长度、宽度、长度/宽度比例和体积等参数进行了测量,并采用判别分析方法划分种群年龄.结果表明,塔里木马鹿粪便形态在不同性别之间有差异,一般雌性的粪便大于雄性(P<0.05).同时根据粪便形态对种群年龄划分为成年雄性、成年雌性和幼体等3个年龄组.     

用鳞片和耳石鉴定鲫年龄的比较研究

两观测者独立观测了分别采自洪湖的175尾和洞庭湖的168尾鲫样本的鲜片和耳石,结果显示鳞片适于鉴定年龄组成简单、生长较快的洞庭湖鲫种群的年龄,两观测者年轮读数的总吻合率可达90.5%,与耳石上年轮读数的吻合率也可高达91.7%;但用鳞片鉴定年龄结构复杂、生长缓慢的洪湖鲫种群年龄,两观测者总吻合率只有50.9%,各龄组吻合率随年龄上升而迅速下降。与耳石上年轮读数总吻合率也仅为56.6A%,存在比耳石低估高龄个体年龄的问题,用耳石鉴定鲫年龄具有易于识别、精确度高的优点,用之鉴定洪湖和洞庭湖鲫种群年龄,两观测者年轮读数的总吻合率都很高,分别为92.7%和97.0%,且随年龄上升,依然可保持较高的精确度,对洪湖鲫种群应用耳石为宜。

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).
