烟碱对脑钾、钠和钙通道表达的调节作用

目的:利用基因表达芯片检测反复摄取烟碱对大鼠脑内钾、钠和钙通道基因表达的调节作用.方法:大鼠每天两次皮下注射烟碱(1.2 mg/kg),连续用药两周后取全脑,提取RNA,逆转录合成cDNA,转录合成生物素化RNA,并将其片断化后与芯片杂交,对荧光信号扫描分析.结合RT-PCR方法对芯片分析结果进行验证.结果:反复摄入烟碱,大鼠脑内钾、钠和钙通道的基因表达均发生变化:电压依赖性K 通道中外向整流K 通道和Ca2 激活的K 通道表达下调,而Kv2.3r等电压依赖性K 通道表达上调;电压依赖性Na 通道中β2亚基表达增加,而α和β1亚基基因表达减少;电压依赖性Ca2 通道的β3亚基基因表达增加.结论:反复摄取烟碱诱导脑N受体失敏时,可引起相关钾、钠和钙通道基因表达发生改变.     

海葵毒素对心肌钠通道开放模式、动作电位及心电图QT间期的影响

应用膜片箝技术记录游离豚鼠心肌细胞钠通道电流, 细胞内微电极技术记录心室乳头肌的动作电位和心电图机记录豚鼠的心电图。使用与心肌细胞钠通道有高度亲和力的海葵毒素(sea anemone toxin, ATXⅡ)改变钠通道开放的动力过程, 从三个水平来研究钠通道、动作电位、心电图变化的关系, 并试图探讨长QT综合征(long QT syndrome, LQTs)的发病机制。结果显示: ATXⅡ使钠通道的开放频率增加, 钠通道中“长时间开放模式”的开放时间常数增大, 动作电位的持续时间APD50和APD90也分别增加了23%和27%。 ATXⅡ使动物心电图QT间期延长18.6%, QTc (校正的QT间期)增大18.9%。这些结果提示, 钠通道动力过程的变化对动作电位和心电图QT间期有重要影响, 钠通道功能或结构的变异可能是临床上部分长QT综合征产生的原因。     

膜表面电荷学说及唾液酸对Na+、K+通道门控特性的影响

Ca2 等二价及三价阳离子可使Na 、K 通道的电压依赖性激活及失活特性移向去极化方向。Frankenhaeuser及Hodgkin认为阳离子是通过结合或覆盖了通道表面或膜磷脂上的固定负电荷而发挥作用的 ,即膜表面电荷学说。后来的研究排除了膜磷脂的作用 ,将其定位在通道蛋白上靠近电压感受器的带负电的唾液酸上。以唾液酸酶或分子生物学的方法减少某些Na 、K 通道表面的唾液酸水平 ,通道门控特性参数同样移向去极化方向 ,同时通道对Ca2 的敏感性降低。通道唾液酸含量的改变可能与可兴奋组织兴奋性变化有关的疾病如心律失常、心衰的发生有一定关系     

青藏铁路、公路对野生动物活动的影响

2003年8月和2004年8月,在不冻泉保护站(35°17′N;93°16′E)至五道梁(35°13′N;93°04′E)一带调查青藏公路的运营和青藏铁路的建设对野生动物活动的影响,并分析了野生动物对青藏铁路上所建立的动物通道的利用情况。结果表明,青藏铁路的建设增加了青藏公路的交通运输量,青藏公路在铁路修建期间会对藏羚羊(Pantholops hodgsoni)、藏原羚(Procapra picticaudata)和藏野驴(Equus kiang)的活动产生部分影响。同时,野生动物通过自身的适应和行为调节可以减少环境改变产生的影响,如公路两侧动物的活动高峰正好是公路上车流量较少的时段、动物可以利用野生动物通道来通过青藏铁路等。藏野驴、藏羚羊与藏原羚均可利用通道穿越铁路,而藏羚羊对通道的利用频次和通道到公路的距离显著的正相关(p<0.5),大多数的动物通道因其高度、宽度和到公路的距离以及人类活动等因素的影响而不能被动物利用。总的看来,动物能够通过自己的适应和行为调节,可以适应青藏铁路修建对该地区的环境所带来的变化。

Landscape characteristics, spatial extent, and breeding bird diversity in Ohio, USA

Abstract. Avian communities are often used by ecologists as indicators of environmental decline over large spatial areas, because of the ease with which birds can be monitored by nonprofessionals and the availability of continent‐wide breeding bird data. The influence of scale on the relationship between bird diversity and the characteristics of the landscape, which can serve as proxies for decline, is receiving greater attention but is still not well understood. We combined data from the Breeding Bird Survey with landscape characteristics derived from the National Land Classification Data for Ohio, USA, to determine the effects of landscape extent on relationships between birds and landscape characteristics. These relationships were determined through previous work to be correlated with avian richness and diversity. We created areas of varying sizes using buffers around each of 58 routes, and calculated diversity for several groups of birds: all birds, five habitat guilds, and three migration guilds. The landscape extent over which landscape characteristics were considered affected the relationship between these characteristics and bird richness and diversity overall, as well as richness and diversity for several of the habitat and migratory guilds. Diversity of woodland birds, Neotropical migrants, and richness of short‐distance migrants were best explained by the landscape characteristics examined here, possibly due to a less homogeneous collection of species in the other guild groups. These results suggest that more attention is required in selecting the appropriate scale when using landscape characteristics to predict or manage avian communities, as some characteristics may be more useful for management activities over small areas versus efforts over larger areas.

Strength, flexibility, and balance characteristics of highly proficient golfers

Despite the emergence of golf-specific training programs and training aids, relatively little research has been conducted examining the physical characteristics that are important to golf performance. We studied the strength, flexibility, and balance characteristics of golfers across 3 proficiency levels based on handicap index (HCP) (<0, 1-9, and 10-20) to determine the physical characteristics unique to highly proficient golfers. A total of 257 (age: 45.5 +/- 12.8 years, height: 180.6 +/- 6.5 cm, weight: 87.9 +/- 12.6 kg) healthy, male golfers participated in the study. Testing included an assessment of strength (torso, shoulder, and hip), flexibility (torso, shoulder, and hip), and single-leg balance. Golfers in the highest proficiency group (HCP < 0) had significantly (p < 0.05) greater hip strength, torso strength, shoulder strength, shoulder flexibility, hip flexibility, torso flexibility, and balance (eyes open) than golfers in the lowest proficiency group (HCP 10-20). The results of this study demonstrate that better golfers possess unique physical characteristics that are important to greater proficiency. These characteristics have also been demonstrated to be modifiable through golf-specific training programs.     

Causes of Polygyny: Ecology, Economy, Kinship, and Warfare

We discuss and test competing explanations for polygyny based on household economics, malecentered kin groups, warfare, and environmental characteristics. Data consist of codes for 142 societies from the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample, including new codes for polygyny and environmental characteristics. An explanatory model is tested for the worldwide sample using regression analysis, and then replicated with regional samples. We obtain convergent results with two different measures of polygyny, cultural rules for men's marriages and the percentage of women married polygynously. We conclude that the best predictors of polygyny are fraternal interest groups, warfare for capture of women, absence of constraints on expansion into new lands, and environmental quality and homogeneity.

Effect of K application on leaf carbonic anhydrase and nitrate reductase activities, photosynthetic characteristics, NPK and NO3 contents, growth, and yield of mustard

In a sand culture experiment on mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern. & Coss) cv. Varuna, all tested characteristics at 60 d stage and yield characteristics at harvest were enhanced by K application as its levels increased from 5 to 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 mM K, with 20 mM K proving best.     

Ecological Analysis of Early Adolescents' Stress Responses to 9/11 in the Washington,DC, Area

This study uses an ecological perspective to explore the unique associations of maternal personal characteristics, parenting behaviors, and adolescents' own characteristics to posttraumatic distress and symptoms of arousal, avoidance, and intrusions, in 97 early adolescents and mothers from the Washington, DC, area to the events of September 11, 2001. Maternal characteristics and/or adolescents' perceptions of parenting behaviors were uniquely related to adolescents' responses, controlling for adolescents' own characteristics. Maternal responses and parenting behaviors play key roles in adolescents' continuing responses to the traumatic events of September 11.
