内蒙古中部通古尔台地及周边地区古地磁及磁性地层的最新研究

通古尔(Tunggur)台地作为20世纪20—30年代美国自然历史博物馆第三中亚考察团研究过的一个经典的脊椎动物化石地点,在亚洲晚新生代陆相哺乳动物学和生物年代学研究中扮演着重要的角色。20世纪90年代中期以来,在通古尔地区开展了大量的野外工作,发现了数个以小型哺乳动物为主的动物群,建立了从早中新世至上新世哺乳动物演化序列的框架。这一框架有可能成为东亚新近纪陆相哺乳动物群对比的标尺。通古尔地区动物群的演替,对于深入认识这一地区古环境和动物地理的分化也十分重要。2005年8月的野外工作,主要在通古尔台地的两个地点——奥尔班和阿勒特希热进行,目的是寻找新生代中晚期的脊椎动物化石和根据古地磁极性年代标尺确定化石的时代。最厚的古地磁采样剖面在奥尔班(Aoerban,43°20′21．6″N,113°54′48．6″E)。取样点起自43°20′36．4″N,113°54′48．6″E,终于43°20′52．7″N,113°54′23．1″E。测试结果显示,剖面上50 m的粘土岩、粉砂岩和细砂岩的互层,除近底部5 m厚的褐棕色粘土岩外均为负极性时。负极性段大致可与国际标准古地磁柱的5Dr或6r对比,相当于18—20 Ma。该剖面上同时进行了小哺乳动物化石的采集;据初步鉴定,化石组合包括了晚渐新世和大量早中新世的成员。因此,奥尔班动物群极有可能代表内蒙古中部地区新近纪哺乳动物群序列中时代最早的一个新成员。阿勒特希热(Aletexire,43°47′21．6″N,113°05′25．0″E)采样剖面始于43°47′53．6″N, 113°04′51．1″E,终于43°47′52．9″N,113°04′42．2″E。剖面厚约13 m,以粉砂岩和细砂岩为主,含有与推饶木动物群相同的成员。测试结果显示,整个剖面记录为正极性时。这便与王晓鸣等于2003年把阿勒特希热剖面古地磁测试的结果与默尔根剖面的对比产生了一些矛盾。原因可能是阿勒特希热的采样间隔过大,或两剖面根本就不是同一时代的产物。同样的问题似乎也出现在与推饶木剖面的对比上。看来有必要对这一地区的古地磁测试作更深入的工作。

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.

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.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
