高山红景天细胞悬浮培养中红景天甙生物合成代谢调控Ⅱ：真 …

考察了６种真菌诱导物对高山红景天（Ｒｈｏｄｉｏｌａ ｓａｃｈａｌｉｎｅｎｓｉｓ,Ｂｏｒ）细胞生长与红景天甙积累的影响。其中以黑曲霉诱导物效果最好。在细胞培养初期添加浓度为４０ｍｇ（ｃａｒｂｏｈｙｄｒａｔｅ）Ｌ的黑曲霉诱导物能使培养细胞中红景天甙含量提高到０．９９５％。前体与诱导物调控组合运用最终使红景天甙产量达到１６７．４ｍｇ／Ｌ,是对照培养的３．８倍。另外,对真菌诱导物的作用机理也进行了探讨,真     

温室栽培光强和光质对高山红景天生物量和红景天甙含量的影响

为探讨光强及光质对高山红景天(Rhodiola sachalinensis)生物量和红景天甙含量的影响。于2000年4月至6月在东北林业大学温室内以移栽于大兴安岭加格达奇圃地人工种植生长3a的高山红景天为材料,通过纱布遮荫及遮以不同颜色的滤光膜分别进行了光强、光质控制实验(处理45d)。随着光强的降低,高山红景天全株生物量、根生物量、根的红景天甙含量和产量以及叶中叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素的含量均有降低的趋势,但叶绿素含量变化很小,不同光强及对照之间的差异均未达到显著水平。相对光强为67．75％和44．71％的两种处理下的全株生物量、根生物量、根的红景天甙含量和产量差异不显著,它们的全株生物量和红景天甙含量与对照(全光照)的差异也不显著,但根生物量和红景天甙产量与对照的差异显著。当相对光强减弱至31．96％,全株生物量、根生物量、根的红景天甙含量和产量均大幅度下降,根冠比显著增加。4种滤光膜处理均使高山红景天的全株生物量及根生物量显著降低,蓝膜和绿膜处理的降低幅度大于红膜和黄膜处理的。红膜处理的红景天甙的含量和产量均高于对照,但黄膜、蓝膜和绿膜处理的红景天甙含量和产量则低于对照。通过计算去除4种滤光膜的光强因素,仅从光质的作用看。4种滤光膜处理仍是减小了全株生物量和根生物量,红膜和绿膜处理提高了红景天甙的含量和产量,而黄膜处理降低了红景天甙的含量和产量,蓝膜处理几乎没有效果。4种滤光膜处理均使叶绿素含量增加,但只有蓝膜处理的与对照差异显著。红膜处理不仅显著提高根中红景天甙的含量(为对照的3．42倍),而且对根生物量的影响较小(为对照的90．24％)。因而提高了高山红景天根的红景天甙产量,这意味着在生产上可能会有一定的实践意义。     

大海林地区不同生境高山红景天根部红景天甙含量的差异

在黑龙江省大海林地区海拔１４００－１６２０ｍ的高山上,依据高山红景天的生境于岳桦林内、高山草甸、苔原上选择了６个样地,测定了高山红景天根部的红景天甙含量。生境不同的高山红景天,根部红景天甙的含量有明显差异,红景天甙含量范围内０．１０１％－０．６８４％。从测定结果看,光照条件好、土壤肥沃的生境下高山红景天根部的红景天甙含量较高。     

遮荫和红膜处理对高山红景天根生物量及红景天甙含量季节变化的影响

采用纱布遮荫(覆以透明膜)和红色滤光膜处理人工种植生长3年和4年的高山红景天,观察了根生物量和红景天甙含量的季节变化结果表明,纱布遮荫处理(相对光强为全光照的51．8％)下根的生物量显著下降;红景天甙含量略有增加,红景天甙产量(红景天甙含量与根生物量乘积)则有所降低,但差异均不显著,红色滤光膜处理(相对光强为全光照的51．8％)与纱布遮荫处理相比,根生物量减少但不显著,红景天甙的含量和产量则显著增加,生长季末前者的红景天甙含量为后者的1．63倍(生长3年)和1．55倍(生长4年),红景天甙产量为后者的1．44倍(生长3年)和1．45倍(生长4年)。     

利用高山红景天培养细胞生物转化外源酪醇生产红景天甙的研究

高山红景天（ＲｈｏｄｉｏｌａｓａｃｈａｌｉｎｅｎｓｉｓＡ．Ｂｏｒ．）培养细胞中,甙元酪醇在细胞生长静止期大量积累,而此时糖基化反应的效率很低,因而红景天甙（ｓａｌｉｄｒｏｓｉｄｅ）产量较低。考虑到培养细胞中酪醇葡萄糖基转移酶的活性在指数生长期达到最高,考察了在指数生长期添加外源酪醇生物转化生产红景天甙的可能性,并探讨了酪醇添加浓度、添加方法及细胞密度对酪醇转化率及红景天甙产量的影响。结果表明,细胞在酪醇浓度为１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ的培养基中培养２４ｈ后可使酪醇转化率达到９５％;过高的酪醇浓度（＞３ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）对细胞生长及酪醇转化率都有明显抑制作用;通过较低浓度酪醇的３次重复添加,可使细胞密度为６ｇＤＷ／Ｌ、１２ｇＤＷ／Ｌ及１８ｇＤＷ／Ｌ的培养物中的红景天甙产量分别达到１３２０ｍｇ／Ｌ、１７４０ｍｇ／Ｌ和１９８０ｍｇ／Ｌ。

光强和光质对野外栽培高山红景天生物量和红景天甙含量的影响

为探讨野外条件下光强及光质对高山红景天 (Rhodiola sachalinensis)生物量和红景天甙含量的影响 ,于 2 0 0 1年 5月 8日至 9月 16日在大兴安岭加格达奇的高山红景天种植圃地 ,利用纱布及红色、蓝色和绿色的滤光膜遮光处理 ,对生长 3a和 4 a的高山红景天进行了光强、光质控制实验。与温室实验类似 ,遮荫显著抑制高山红景天根的生长 ,并使红景天甙的含量略有提高。红膜处理使光强大约降低一半 ,但仅从光质的角度而言 ,红膜处理对根的生长影响不大 ,却显著增加了根中的红景天甙含量和产量 ,不过效果不如温室实验明显。绿膜处理未表现出对红景天甙积累的促进作用 ,这与温室实验结果不同。红膜处理不同天数的结果表明 ,处理时间对红景天甙含量提高的程度影响很小。这意味着在野外种植的情况下 ,可以在临近收获的最后一段时间用红膜对高山红景天进行处理 ,这样既可避免红膜处理对高山红景天根生长的抑制 (由于减弱了光照 ) ,又可显著提高根的红景天甙含量 ,从而达到大幅度提高红景天甙产量的目的。

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.

Detection of EBV and HHV6 in the Brain Tissue of Patients with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis

Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare pediatric neurological disorder, and the exact etiology is not clear. Viral infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of RE, but conflicting results have reported. In this study, we evaluated the expression of both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpes virus (HHV) 6 antigens in brain sections from 30 patients with RE and 16 control individuals by immunohistochemistry. In the RE group, EBV and HHV6 antigens were detected in 56.7% (17/30) and 50% (15/30) of individuals, respectively. In contrast, no detectable EBV and HHV6 antigen expression was found in brain tissues of the control group. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in 20.0% (6/30) of individuals. In particular, a 4-year-old boy had a typical clinical course, including a medical history of viral encephalitis, intractable epilepsy, and hemispheric atrophy. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in neurons and astrocytes in the brain tissue, accompanied by a high frequency of CD8⁺ T cells. Our results suggest that EBV and HHV6 infection and the activation of CD8⁺ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of RE.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).     

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.
