Ca2+-dependent inhibitory effects of Na+ and K− on Ca2+ transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles

Effects of Na⁺ and K⁺ on Ca²⁺ transport by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were studied in a medium containing high Mg²⁺ and ATP (2mM) and low Ca²⁺ (0.44μM) concentrations. Under these conditions, Na⁺ and K⁺ inhibit Ca²⁺ uptake. ATPase activity and membrane phosphorylation by ATP. Since the concentrations of ATP and Ca²⁺ used are consistent with relaxation in vivo, the results suggest that under physiological resting conditions the Ca²⁺ pump of the sarcoplasmic reticulum operates below its maximal capacity.     

几种不同浓度的离子及单糖对中华鲟精子活力的影响

本文研究在不同浓度Na 、K 、Ca2 、Mg2 、Cu2 及葡萄糖、果糖溶液中,中华鲟(Acipenser sinensisGray)精子活动情况。结果表明:Na 浓度为2‰时,中华鲟精子寿命时间(Life time,LT)最长,为347s,而Na 浓度为1‰时,中华鲟精子剧烈运动时间(Acute movement time,AT)最长,为98.67s,精子激活率在Na 浓度小于等于2‰时,为100%,随着Na 浓度的增加中华鲟精子激活率明显下降;与Na 溶液不同,在K 浓度为0.005‰时中华鲟精子活力最佳,其AT和LT最长,分别为80s和174s。而精子激活率随K 浓度增加而增强,在浓度为0.005‰时激活率最强为60%,然后快速下降;在Ca2 、Mg2 、Cu2 三种溶液中,随着三种溶液浓度的增加,中华鲟精子剧烈运动时间和寿命逐渐缩短,精子激活率逐步下降;与Ca2 、Mg2 、Cu2 三种溶液完全不同的是,随着葡萄糖和果糖两种单糖浓度的增加,中华鲟精子AT及精子LT逐渐延长。结果说明适量浓度的Na 、K 可以延长中华鲟精子AT及其LT,激活精子活力;而Ca2 、Mg2 、Cu2 三种溶液即使在较低浓度下都表现出对中华鲟精子AT、精子LT及其激活率明显的抑制作用;而葡萄糖和果糖则能有效地延长中华鲟精子AT和LT。     

亚硒酸钠对巨噬细胞内游离Ca2+和Mg2+的影响

短期NaCl胁迫对不同小麦品种幼苗K+吸收和Na+、K+积累的影响

为研究盐胁迫下小麦幼苗生长及Na⁺、K⁺的吸收和积累规律,以中国春、洲元9369和长武134等3种耐盐性不同小麦品种为材料,采用非损伤微测技术检测盐胁迫2 d后的根系K⁺离子流变化,并对植株体内的Na⁺、K⁺含量进行测定。结果表明:短期(2d)盐胁迫对小麦生长有抑制作用,且对根系的抑制大于地上部,耐盐品种下降幅度小于盐敏感品种。盐胁迫下,小麦根际的 K⁺大量外流,盐敏感品种中国春K⁺流速显著高于耐盐品种长武134,最高可达15倍。小麦幼苗地上部分和根系均表现为Na⁺积累增加,K⁺积累减少,Na⁺/K⁺比随盐浓度增加而上升。中国春限Na⁺能力显著低于长武134,Na⁺/K⁺则显著高于长武134。综上所述,盐胁迫下造成小麦组织器官中Na⁺/K⁺比上升的主要原因是根系K⁺大量外流和Na⁺的过量积累,耐盐性不同的小麦品种间差异显著,并认为根系对K⁺的保有能力可能是作物耐盐性评价的一个重要指标。

选取健康的性成熟雄性宽体沙鳅,运用JSM 6510LV型扫描电镜、H-7500型透射电镜及Motic-BA210数码显微镜分别观察了宽体沙鳅精子的超微结构及不同浓度Na~+、K~+、Ca~(2+)对其精子活力的影响。结果显示,宽体沙鳅精子头部圆球形,无顶体,细胞核后端有一植入窝凹陷,凹陷深度为细胞核长径的1/6。中片由中心粒复合体和袖套组成。中心粒复合体分为近端中心粒和基体,两者呈"L"型排列;袖套呈两侧不对称分布,一侧狭长,另一侧肥厚。尾部主要由轴丝组成,为典型的"9+2"型双联微管结构,微管动力蛋白臂明显。以Na Cl、KCl和Ca Cl_2浓度分别为75 mmol·L~(-1)、0.5 mmol·L~(-1)和5 mmol·L~(-1)作为宽体沙鳅精子的激活介质,效果最佳。建议实际生产中选取合适的激活介质进行人工授精。     

NaCl胁迫对4种豆科树种幼苗生长和K+、Na+含量的影响

以合欢、刺槐、国槐和皂荚4种豆科树种盆栽实生幼苗为试验材料,研究了NaCl胁迫下4个树种幼苗的生长、耐盐临界浓度和Na⁺、K⁺含量的变化,并对其耐盐性进行了比较.结果表明：NaCl胁迫抑制了4个树种幼苗的生长,苗木的干物质积累量减小、根冠比增大,尤其对合欢和皂荚的影响较大;以相对干质量降至对照组50%时的NaCl浓度作为生长临界NaCl浓度(C₅₀)指标,4个树种的耐盐强弱顺序为：刺槐(5.0‰)＞国槐(4.5‰)＞皂荚(3.9‰)＞合欢(3.0‰);随NaCl浓度的增加,各树种幼苗根、茎、叶中Na⁺含量逐渐增加,K⁺含量先增加后减小（合欢根除外）,而K⁺/Na⁺差异较大.相同浓度NaCl胁迫下,幼苗器官的Na⁺分布为根＞茎＞叶,K⁺因树种和NaCl浓度不同而各异,以叶片中较多,K⁺/Na⁺为叶＞茎＞根.NaCl胁迫下,刺槐的K⁺含量和K⁺/Na⁺较高,地上部分Na⁺含量较低,幼苗干物质量大,耐盐性较强;而合欢的K⁺/Na⁺较小,高浓度NaCl胁迫下地上部分的Na⁺含量较高,幼苗干物质量小,耐盐性较差.苗木地上部分对K⁺的积累和根部对Na⁺的滞留是影响豆科树种耐盐性能的主要因素.     

野生中华鲟水族馆驯养观察

2005年4月3日~7月31日期间以捕捞于长江宜昌江段的野生中华鲟(Acipenser sinensis)为研究材料,对其在水族馆中的驯养方法进行了研究。结果表明,野生中华鲟摄食的饲料品种由1种逐渐增加至6种,日摄食量由120 g逐渐增加至2 000 g并逐渐趋于稳定,说明水族馆驯养池的环境适合野生中华鲟的生存。     

不同喂食方法对产后野生中华鲟的摄食促进

2006年1月13日~7月15日,研究了不同喂食方法对产后野生雌性中华鲟(Acipenser sinensis)的摄食促进效果。研究表明,经人工繁殖后的中华鲟身体较虚弱,在人工环境下无主动摄食行为。野生中华鲟对投洒的人工配合饲料及天然饲料均无摄食反应,水下直接喂食天然饲料的效果依赖于中华鲟主动摄食能力的恢复,而采用导管喂食方法可以实现中华鲟的被动摄食,摄食量由76g逐步增加至382g,20d后开始出现主动摄食行为,日食量逐步上升至1822g并趋于稳定。导管喂食过程中健康状况也逐步得到改善,胸围和腹围开始提高,主动摄食后健康状况得到彻底改善。实验表明产后野生中华鲟的体能恢复有望在水族馆较好的环境条件中得以实现。     

North American Green and European Atlantic Sturgeon: Comparisons of Life Histories and Human Impacts

Green and European Atlantic sturgeon are listed as a vulnerable and a critically endangered species, respectively. These anadromous species inhabit different continents but have many similar life history traits and demographic characteristics, including wide geographic ranges, similar migratory and foraging behavior, age and size structures of reproductive stocks and, historically, diverse population structures. The differences are limited to tetraploid genome and much larger egg size and lower fecundity in green sturgeon, reflecting the adaptations to different geomorphology and biota of the Pacific region. Both species have been affected by over-harvest and habitat losses but the severity of these impacts have been greater and lasted longer for the European Atlantic sturgeon, resulting in loss of diversity and extirpation of all but one stock. From the comparison of human impact on two species we conclude that preventive actions should be taken at the early warning signs of changes in population and recruitment. These should mitigate multiple factors of human activity affecting sturgeon stocks and their habitats.     

Effects of cooling and freezing on the motility of Ostrea edulis (L., 1758) spermatozoa after thawing

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of temperature, cryoprotectant agents and freezing curves on sperm motility of Ostrea edulis. All phases of cryopreservation were studied (evaluation of semen motility pattern, choice of cryoprotectants and freezing rates) to restore after thawing the motility characteristics distinctive of fresh semen.To assess the temperature effects on sperm motility, semen was activated using four different temperatures (25, 18, 10 and 3 °C). Sperm aliquots were maintained inactive at these temperatures for 1 and 3 h, then activated with FSW at same temperature of conservation. Sperm was activated and incubated to 3 °C with dimethylsulfoxide (Me₂SO), ethylene glycol (EG), 1–2 propylene glycol (PG) (5%, 7%, 10% and 15% final concentrations), glycerol (GlOH; 5%, 10% and 15% final concentrations) and methanol (MetOH; 4% and 10% final concentrations) for 10, 20 and 30 min. A first evaluation of freezing rates was made by testing four freezing curves: −1, −3, −6 and −10 °C/min. Then, an optimization was made by testing four freezing curves: −2.5, −3.0, −3.5 and −4 °C/min.The selected temperature for short term conservation has been 3 °C, because only this temperature has allowed good sperm motility conservation after 3 h of dry-storage; this is a time sufficient to conduct cryopreservation procedures. The sperm showed a particular sensitivity to GlOH and PG to all tested concentrations and to 15% Me₂SO. EG and MetOH to all concentrations and Me₂SO to concentrations lower than 15% have not shown significant toxic effects. The freezing rate −3 °C/min using 15% EG has shown an highest percentage of RVF (rapid, vigorous and forward) spermatozoa (class 3, about 75% of fresh semen) and an highest sperm motility duration.     

温度对鳊鱼静止代谢和耐低氧能力的影响

以鳊鱼(Parabramis pekinensis)幼鱼[体重(8.13±0.15)g,n=31]为研究对象,以密闭式代谢测定法分别在15、20、25、30℃条件下测定其静止代谢率(Rest Metabolic Rate,RMR),并以双线法推算临界氧浓度Pcrit等相关参数。结果显示,鳊鱼幼鱼的静止代谢水平呈随温度上升而升高的变化趋势[(132.22±4.97)mg O2/(h.kg)(15℃),(182.67±12.49)mg O2/(h.kg)(20℃),(218.44±9.20)mgO2/(h.kg)(25℃),(298.32±9.96)mg O2/(h.kg)(30℃)],除20～25℃间,其他各温度组差异显著(P0.05);Q10值均低于2(15～20℃1.91,20～25℃1.43,25～30℃1.87);本研究还发现,随着温度的升高,鳊鱼幼鱼的Pcrit逐渐下降,而临界氧饱和度Scrit则相对保守[15、20、25、30℃的Pcrit分别为(1.35±0.09)、(1.16±0.19)、(0.97±0.12)和(0.86±0.09)mg O2/L,Scrit分别为13.87%±0.74%、13.32%±1.72%、12.15%±1.35%和11.34%±0.65%。这表明,采用不同指标考察鱼类耐低氧能力可能会得到相异的结论。这种结论的不一致提示,在鱼类应对环境溶氧降低的适应中,相对溶氧水平而不是绝对溶氧水平影响并决定着鱼类的适应性进化,因此采用相对饱和度作为指标研究鱼类耐低氧能力可能更具理论价值。
