神锢的松动

正如前所述,欧洲历史上的中世纪是个"黑暗时代"。作为当时封建社会的精神支柱,基督教教会把上帝当做绝对的权威,建立了一套严格的等级制度。人的一切思想和行为都必须依《圣经》而为,否则就要受到教会的制裁,甚至被教会设立的宗教审判所处以各种残酷的死刑。在教会的管制下,中世纪的文学艺术死气沉沉,科学技术也没有多少进展。11世纪以后的欧洲,随着经济的复苏与发展、城市的兴起以及生活水平的提高,人们逐渐

A parameter uniform essentially firsorder convergent numerical method for a parabolic system of singularly perturbed differential equations of reaction—diffusion type with initial and Robin boundary conditions

In this paper,a class of linear parabolic systems of singularly perturbed second-order differential equations of reaction-diffusion type with initial and Robin boundary conditions is considered.The components of the solution u→ of this system are smooth,whereas the components of αu→/αx exhibit parabolic boundary layers.A numerical method composed of a classical finite difference scheme on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh is suggested.This method is proved to be first-order convergent in time and essentially first-order convergent in the space variable in the maximum norm uniformly in the perturbation parameters.

Insulin resistance in diabetes: The promise of using induced pluripotent stem cell technology

Insulin resistance(IR)is associated with several metabolic disorders,including type 2 diabetes(T2D).The development of IR in insulin target tissues involves genetic and acquired factors.Persons at genetic risk for T2D tend to develop IR several years before glucose intolerance.Several rodent models for both IR and T2D are being used to study the disease pathogenesis;however,these models cannot recapitulate all the aspects of this complex disorder as seen in each individual.Human pluripotent stem cells(hPSCs)can overcome the hurdles faced with the classical mouse models for studying IR.Human induced pluripotent stem cells(hiPSCs)can be generated from the somatic cells of the patients without the need to destroy a human embryo.Therefore,patient-specific hiPSCs can generate cells genetically identical to IR individuals,which can help in distinguishing between genetic and acquired defects in insulin sensitivity.Combining the technologies of genome editing and hiPSCs may provide important information about the genetic factors underlying the development of different forms of IR.Further studies are required to fill the gaps in understanding the pathogenesis of IR and diabetes.In this review,we summarize the factors involved in the development of IR in the insulin-target tissues leading to diabetes.Also,we highlight the use of hPSCs to understand the mechanisms underlying the development of IR.     

基于染色体计数和ITS序列初步探讨横断山区柴胡属植物(伞形科)的系统发育

横断山区是中国柴胡属Bupleurum植物的分布中心。本文对横断山区6个种2变种进行了染色体记数报道,其中4个种2变种是首次报道。对横断山区的10个种4个变种、中国北方（河北和黑龙江）的3个种的nrDNA ITS进行测序,同时从GenBank里面下载同属的来自非洲和地中海西部的16个nrDNA ITS序列数据,结合染色体数目变化结果,初步探讨了横断山区柴胡属植物的系统发育。结果表明横断山区可能是现代柴胡属植物的频度中心和多样分布中心之一。它们的祖先种可能是非洲北部的木本柴胡属植物B.fruticosum,或者是地中海西部的柴胡属植物,推测是通过中东和高加索扩散而形成的,其中与非洲南部特有种B.mundtii的亲缘关系也较近;染色体基数演化趋势是：8是较原始基数,6和7是次生基数,其染色体异基数变异和多倍化可能是物种形成、进化以及向外扩散的主要方式;在ITS系统发育树中,中国柴胡属植物染色体基数为8的种类聚为一支,染色体基数为6和7的种类聚为了一支,不支持舒璞等（1998）关于中国柴胡属的属下分类系统。结合已有的形态学、细胞学、孢粉学证据和ITS系统发育树,建议窄竹叶柴胡B.marginatum var.stenophyllum独立成种。     

Current methods for the maturation of induced pluripotent stem cellderived cardiomyocytes

Induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs) were first generated by Yamanaka and colleagues over a decade ago. Since then, iPSCs have been successfully differentiated into many distinct cell types, enabling tissue-, disease-, and patientspecific in vitro modelling. Cardiovascular disease is the greatest cause of mortality worldwide but encompasses rarer disorders of conduction and myocardial function for which a cellular model of study is ideal. Although methods to differentiate iPSCs into beating cardiomyocytes(iPSC-CMs) have recently been adequately optimized and commercialized, the resulting cells remain largely immature with regards to their structure and function,demonstrating fetal gene expression, disorganized morphology, reliance on predominantly glycolytic metabolism and contractile characteristics that differ from those of adult cardiomyocytes. As such, disease modelling using iPSC-CMs may be inaccurate and of limited utility. However, this limitation is widely recognized, and numerous groups have made substantial progress in addressing this problem. This review highlights successful methods that have been developed for the maturation of human iPSC-CMs using small molecules,environmental manipulation and 3-dimensional(3 D) growth approaches.     

Dynamical behaviors of the generalized hematopoiesis model with discontinuous harvesting terms

This paper is concerned with the generalized hematopoiesis model with discontinuous harvesting terms.Under the framework of Filippov solution,by means of the differential inclusions and the topological degree theory in set-valued analysis,we have established the existence of the bounded positive periodic solutions for the addressed models.After that,based on the nonsmooth analysis theory w让 h Lyapunov-like approach,we employ a novel argument and derive some new criteria on the uniqueness,global exponential stability of the addressed models and convergence of the corresponding autonomous case of the addressed models.Our results extend previous works on hematopoiesis model to the discontinuous harvesting terms and some corresponding results in the literature can be enriched and extended.In addition,typical examples with numerical simulations are given to illustrate the feasibility and validity of obtained results.

在基于BAC的EB病毒基因组中引入突变

为了在Epstein-Barr病毒(EBV)172kb的基因组中引入突变以研究基因功能,建立了一种简单有效的基因操作方法.在载体pcDNA3.1( )上操作,将两端含有重组蛋白FLP识别位点(FRT)的卡那霉素筛选标记基因(kan)与鼻咽癌(NPC)来源的、包含LMP1基因全长ORF的gDNA"无缝"连接(无外源序列插入).连接后的kan-LMP1线性DNA片段经转化、由λ噬菌体中redαβγ系统介导在E.coli中发生同源重组(ET克隆),用kan-LMP1替代了BAC-EBV(p2089)中相应的LMP1基因区域,然后经过重组蛋白FLP对FRT-kan-FRT特异性的识别,切除了引入的kan基因,留下一个69bp的FRT"疤痕".通过抗性筛选和对菌液进行PCR扩增可以鉴定突变子.这种经改进并程序化的方法.也适应于引入其它突变或在其它BAC-疱疹病毒基因组中引入突变.     

Sieve element occlusion provides resistance against Aphis gossypii in TGR-1551 melons

Feeding behavior and plant response to feeding were studied for the aphid Aphis gossypii Glover on susceptible and resistant melons(cv.Iroquois and TGR-1551,respectively).Average phloem phase bout duration on TGR-1551 was<7% of the duration on Iroquois.Sixty-seven percent of aphids on TGR-1551 never produced a phloem phase that attained ingestion(EPG waveform E2)in contrast to only 7% of aphids on Iroquois.Average bout duration of waveform E2(scored as zero if phloem phase did not attain E2)on TGR-1551 was<3% of the duration on Iroquois.Conversely,average bout duration of EPG waveform El(sieve element salivation)was 2.8 times greater on TGR-1551 than on Iroquois.In a second experiment,liquid nitrogen was used to rapidly cryofix leaves and aphids within a few minutes after the aphids penetrated a sieve element.Phloem near the penetration site was then examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy.Ninety-six percent of penetrated sieve elements were occluded by protein in TGR-1551 in contrast to only 28% in Iroquois.Usually in TGR-1551,occlusion was also observed in nearby nonpenetrated sieve elements.Next,a calcium channel blocker,trivalent lanthanum,was used to prevent phloem occlusion in TGR-1551,and A.gossypii feeding behavior and the plants phloem response were compared between lanthanum-treated and control TGR-1551.Lanthanum treatment eliminated the sieve element protein occlusion response and the aphids readily ingested phloem sap from treated plants.This study provides strong evidence that phloem occlusion is a mechanism for resistance against A.gossypii in TGR-1551.

Kinematics Modeling and Experiments of Pectoral Oscillation Propulsion Robotic Fish

A robotic fish driven by oscillating fins, "Cownose Ray-I", is developed, which is in dorsoventrally flattened shape withouta tail. The robotic fish is composed of a body and two lateral fins. A three-factor kinematic model is established and used in thedesign of a mechanism. By controlling the three kinematic parameters, the robotic fish can accelerate and maneuver. Forwardvelocity is dependent on the largest amplitude and the number of waves in the fins, while the relative contribution of fin beatfrequency to the forward velocity of the robotic fish is different from the usual result. On the other hand, experimental results onmaneuvering show that phase difference has a stronger effect on swerving than the largest amplitude to some extent. In addition,as propulsion waves pass from the trailing edge to the leading edge, the robotic fish attains a backward velocity of 0. 15 m·s^-1.     

植物细胞器间遗传信息转移

真核生物细胞质中有多种执行特定功能的细胞器, 其中线粒体和质体含有独立的基因组, 但细胞器的遗传信息储量有限, 其多数结构和功能蛋白质仍然由核基因组编码.来自植物的相关研究表明, 细胞核与细胞器间不仅在功能上相互依存, 而且遗传信息分子能跨越生物膜屏障, 在细胞核与细胞器间及不同的细胞器间进行传递, 并由此可以引起部分遗传信息在细胞内定位及基因表达等方面的相应改变.细胞器间遗传信息转移机制的研究将为深入认识核质相互作用及真核生物的进化提供重要的线索.

基于叶绿体DNA trnL-F序列研究肋果沙棘的谱系地理学

由于青藏高原的地理效应,第四纪冰期气候的反复变化应对现今该地区生物的地理分布及其居群遗传结构产生重大影响。肋果沙棘Hippophae neurocarpa是青藏高原地区的一个特有种,根据叶上的附属物（星状鳞毛或者鳞片状鳞毛）分为两个亚种：肋果沙棘亚种subsp.neurocarpa和密毛肋果沙棘亚种subsp.stellatopilosa。依据母系遗传的叶绿体DNA片段对该物种谱系地理学进行研究不仅能阐明该物种冰期避难所,而且对于理解两个亚种的母系分化也具有重要意义。共对两个亚种14居群的70个个体的trnL-F序列进行了测序,共发现8种单倍型,其中5种单倍型出现在肋果沙棘亚种中,4种出现在密毛肋果沙棘亚种中,两个亚种共享一种单倍型。种内谱系分化与两个亚种形态上的分化不一致。嵌套进化分支把8种单倍型分为三支：一支为肋果沙棘亚种,其他两支中两个亚种单倍型嵌套组成,且肋果沙棘亚种处于进化末端。我们的研究结果还表明肋果沙棘在冰期可能在高海拔地区存在多个避难所,并且存在来自避难所的邻域扩张。
