新疆蒙古族对糖精和乙酰水杨酸尝味能力的分析

对710名（男328人,女382人）新疆蒙古族进行了糖精和乙酰水杨酸尝味能力的检测分析。结果表明,蒙古人群中的糖精味盲率为4.648％,没有尝味能力的隐性基因频率为0.2156,具有尝味能力的显性基因频率为0.7844,平均尝味阈值为8.009 ±1.34（0.108mol/L）。乙酰水杨酸的尝味阈值分布出现了非常明显的双峰一谷分布,表明该性状是单基因决定的性状,谷底7号液（3.00X10-4mol/L）是味盲的界限,味盲的峰值在1号液（1.7X10-2mol/L）,尝味者的峰值在11号液（1.25X10-5mol/L）,味盲率为90.282％,。经x2检验,男、女性的味盲率元显著差异（P>0.90）,表明决定乙酰水杨酸尝味能力的基因位于常染色体,对该基因的显隐性等特点尚需通过家系分析进行确定。     

乌鲁木齐维吾尔人两种物质味盲基因频率

1996年5月,我们在新疆乌鲁木齐市天山区测定了维吾尔族群体中糖精（saccharin）和乙酰水杨酸（acetosal．aspirin,APS）味盲频率和隐性基因频率,调查对象为10～21岁,身体健康,父母同族的大、中、中学学生。糖精测定时以2号液（254×10-2mol／L）为味盲界限,乙酰水杨酸测定时以2号液（0.85×10-2mol／L）为味盲界限,具体阈值分布情况见表1。用阈值法,在维吾尔族群体中糖精测试者512人,其中男241人,女271人,味盲总数30人,占调查人数的5．86％。乙酸水杨酸测试者340人,其中男186人,味盲75人,占40．4％;女154人,味盲引人,占…     

A prourokinase-RGDS chimera——Construction, expression and characterization

A tetrapeptide, RGDS, was inserted into proUK kringle domain G118-L119 by the construction of a mutant proUK-RGDS gene. The gene was expressed in the baculovirus expression system. Immunoaffinity chromatography was used to purify the chimera and protein with purity over 90% was achieved. The chimera was tested for its platelet membrane binding function and showed a calcium-dependent platelet binding activity. Amidolytic activity of the chimera was tested. The result indicated that specific amidolytic activity of plasmin activated chimera was 62000 IU/mg, comparable to the previously reported 65 355 IU/mg of plasmin activated natural proUK. Activation of plasminogen by the chimera after plasmin treatment followed Micbieal-Menten kinetics, and the Km was 0.97 μmol/L, which was also comparable to 1.64 μmol/L of native urokinase. The chimera also showed intensive ability to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro. These results indicate that this chimera might be useful as a bifunctional thrombolytic agent.     

Determination of n-l-1 Gamete Transmission Rate of Trisomics and Location of Gene Controlling 2n Gamete Formation in Chinese Cabbage （Brassica rapa）

A set of trisomics of Chinese cabbage was used for determining the n-I-1 gamete transmission rate and locating the gene controlling 2n gamete formation on the corresponding chromosome. The results showed that the transmission rates of extra chromosomes in different trisomics varied from 0% to 15.38% by male gametes and from 0% to 17.39% by female gametes. Of the nine F2 populations derived from the hybridizations between each trisomic and Bp058 （2n gamete material）, only Tri- 4xBp058 showed that the segregation ratio of plants without 2n gamete formation to plants with 2n gamete formation was 10.38：1, which fitted the expected segregation ratio of the trisomics （AAa） based on the 7.37% of n＋l gamete transmission through female and 5.88% through male. In other populations the segregation ratios varied from 2.48：1 to 3.72：1, which fitted the expected 3：1 segregation ratio of the bisomics （Aa）. These results suggested that the gene controlling 2n gamete formation in Chinese cabbage Bp058 was located on chromosome 4. Further trisomic analysis based on the chromosome segregation and the incomplete stochastic chromatid segregation indicated that the gene locus was tightly linked to the centromere.     

汉族人群中三种物质尝味能力的分析

以苯硫腺(PTC) 糖精(Saccharin)和乙酞水杨酸（Aspirin）分别对同一汉族群体进行味14测定,结果表明苯硫脉与塘精的苦味感受无正相关性,糖精味盲率4.55%,隐性味盲基因频率为0.2132,x²检验r>0.05。乙酞水杨酸的酸味盲存在,味盲率31.07%,隐性味盲基因频率为0.5574,x²检验P>0.050糖精与乙酷水杨酸测试中男、女性味盲率无显著性差异。乙酸水杨酸的男、女性尝味能力经t测验无显著差异,糖精测试中则有显著差异。     

cDNA微阵列制作的优化

为了优化筛检cDNA微阵列中靶基因的最适长度、浓度及点样溶液的种类,设计持家基因beta actin和GAPDH RT-PCR 3对引物,产物长度在189～1 078 bp之间,以乙肝病毒DNA片段为阴性对照,扩增纯化后分别溶于3×SSC、50%DMSO及0.5mol/L碳酸盐缓冲液（pH=9.0）中,调整浓度分别为0.5μg/μL、1.0μg/μL和1.5μg/μL,比较上述不同条件的杂交结果。结果表明,杂交具有较好的特异性,阴性对照（乙肝病毒）和空白对照（点样溶液）均未见杂交信号;3种长度的同一靶基因杂交信号强度无明显差别（beta actin P=0.378;GAPDH P=0.866）;3种点样溶液中以50%DMSO杂交信号最好,较强且均匀一致(P=0.0001),其余2种差异不显著(P=0.142);3种浓度靶基因杂交信号差异不显著(P=0.648),浓度高者信号略强。短片段靶基因（200 bp左右）可获得与长片段靶基因（1 000 bp以上）一样较好的杂交信号,点样溶液以50%DMSO效果最好,靶基因浓度为0.5μg/μL时即可得到较好的杂交结果。 Abstract:To optimize and screen the most suitable target gene length,concentration and printing solution in cDNA microarray,housekeeping genes,such as beta actin and GAPDH,were selected as targets and hepatitis B virus gene as negative control.The RT-PCR primers that spanned at least one intron and whose products were at between 189 bp and 1 078 bp were designed with primer premier 5.0,so did the hepatitis B virus gene PCR primer.After polymerase chain reaction,the products were purified with ethanol and dissolved in 3×SSC,50% DMSO and 0.5mol/L carbonate buffer（pH=9.0）respectively.The concentrations of target genes were adjusted at 0.5μg/μL,1.0μg/μL and 1.5μg/μL.The hybridization signals had a good specificity.No signal showed in either negative control (HBV) or blank control (printing solution only).There was no significant difference in target gene lengths.The P value of beta actin (189 bp,491 bp,974 bp) and GAPDH (227 bp,552 bp,1 078 bp) was 0.378 and 0.866 respectively.There was no significant difference among concentrations（P=0.648）,too.However,the higher the concentration was,the stronger the signals would be.Among the three kinds of printing solution,50% DMSO was the best（P=0.0001）,while the other two had no difference by multi-comparison(P=0.142).The target gene at length between 200 bp and 1 000 bp has got the same hybridization signals.50%DMSO printing solution and the target gene concentration of 0.5μg/μl are suitable for good hybridization.     

Sublethal effects of imidacloprid and pymetrozine on population growth parameters of cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae on rapeseed, Brassica napus L.

Efficiency of imidacloprid and pymetrozine on population growth parameters of cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae L. （Homoptera： Aphididae） was determined using demographic toxicology by leaf dip method. At first, bioassay tests were performed. The LC50 value and confidence limit for imidacloprid and pymetrozine were 1.61 × 10^-5 mol/L （0.74 × 10^-5-2.66 × 10^-5） and 2.14 × 10^-4 mol/L （1.24 × 10^-4-3.40 × 10^-4）, respectively. To evaluate the sublethal effect of two insecticides on population growth parameters of cabbage aphid, LC30 concentrations of imidacloprid and pymetrozine were used at 5 mol/L and 30 mol/L. The experiments were carried out in a incubator at 20±1℃, 60% ± 5% RH and 16：8 （L：D） photoperiod on canola seedlings, Brassica napus L. var. ＇PF＇. Net fecundity rate decreased in both insecticide-treated populations. Intrinsic rates of increase （rm） were lower in imidacloprid and pymetrozine treatments than in controls. Intrinsic birth rates also decreased in treated populations. There was a relative increase in intrinsic death rates of treated populations. The mean generation times and doubling time were also lower in populations treated with insecticides than in controls. There was a considerable reduction in the average numbers of nymphs reproduced per female as compared with the control. The average longevity of female adults in the control was significantly different from those treated with imidacloprid and pymetrozine. However, there was no significant differences in aphid life-table parameters between the two insecticide-treated populations （P 〉 0.01）.     

Ethylene Evolution Changes in Tilted Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr. var. japonica Maxim. Seedlings in Relation to Tension Wood Formation

The effects of ethylene on tension wood formation were studied in 3-year-old Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr. var. japonica Maxim. seedlings in two separate experiments. In experiment 1, ethylene evolution of buds and stems was measured using gas chromatography after 0, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 21 d of treatment; in experiment 2, both aminoethoxyvinylglycine （AVG） and AgNO3 were applied to the horizontally-placed stems, and the cell numbers on sites of applications were measured after 40 d. Ethylene evolution from buds was found to be much greater in tilted seedlings than in upright ones. The cell numbers of wood fibers in shoots and 1-year-old stems were reduced in treatments with 12.5×10^-7μmol/L AVG, 12.5×10^-8μmol/L AVG, and 11.8×10^-8μmol/Lmol/L AgNO3; whereas the horizontal and vertical diameters were reduced by treatment of 12.5×10^-7μmol/L AVG. Ethylene evolutions of shoots and 1-year-old stems were inhibited greatly in comparison with the control by applying 12.5×10^-7μmol/L AVG. The formation of a gelatinous layer of wood fibers was affected by neither AVG nor AgNO3 application. These results suggest that ethylene regulates the quantity of wood production, but does not affect G-layer formation in F. mandshurica Rupr. var.japonica Maxim. seedlings.     

Effect of osmotic shock on the redox system in plasma membrane of Dunaliella salina

The unicellular halotolerant alga Dunaliella salina had the ability to oxidize NADH and reduce Fe(CN)6^3-.The redox reactions were to some extent stimulated by slight hyperosmotic shock (2.0mol/L→2.6mol/L NaCl),but markably inhibited by abrupt hyperosmotic shock (2.0mol/L→3.5mol/L NaCl) and hypoosmotic shock (2.0mol/L→1.0mol/L NaCl;2.0mol/L→0.67mol/L NaCl).With the adaptation of algal cells to osmotic shock by accumulating or degraging intracellular grycerol,the plasmalemma redox activities were also restored.The O2 uptake stimulated by NADH could be promoted by FA and SHAM.Hypoosmotic shock increases the basal respiration rate of alga cells,but weakened the stimulating effects of NADH,FA and SHAM on O2 uptake.On the other hand,hyperosmotic shock reduced the basal respiration rate,but relatively enhanced the above effects of NADH,FA and SHAM.H^ extrusion of alga cells was inhibited by NADH and stimulated by Fe(CN)6^3-.Vanadate and DES could inhibit H^ efflux,but had little effect in the presence of NADH and Fe(CN)6^3-.Both hyperand hypoosmotic shock stimulated H^ extrusion.This effect could be totally inhibited by vanadate and DES,but almost unaffected by 8-hydroxyquinoline.It was suggested that H^ -ATPase probably played a more important role in H^ extrusion and osmoregulation under the conditions of osmotic shock.     

Determination of stoichiometry of radioiodination of proteins

A sensitive method for the detection of small quantities of hydrophobic antioxidant free radical scavengers such as butylatedhydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylatedhydroxyanisole (BHA) in aqueous samples is described. The procedure involves extraction of the hydrophobic free radical scavenger into an organic solvent phase, followed by the subsequent reaction of an aliquot of this extract with the stable cation radical tris(p-bromophenyl)amminium hexachloroantimonate (TBACA). In experiments with BHT and BHA, the loss of TBACA absorbance at 730 nm was found to be linearly proportional to the amount of antioxidant added, with quantities of BHT as small as 200 pmol being easily detectable. In aqueous suspensions of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles, assays of the aqueous BHT concentration showed that BHT partitioned strongly into the membrane phase, achieving very high BHT/phospholipid ratios. For a given concentration of BHT, partitioning into the membrane phase was greater in large, multilamellar liposomes than in either small, single-walled vesicles or in purified rat brain synaptic vesicle membranes. Direct assay of BHT and BHA in phospholipid membranes, however, was complicated by a nonspecific interaction between TBACA and the phospholipid.
