NaCl胁迫下胡杨（Populus euphratica）和群众杨(P.popularis)抗氧化能力及耐盐性

在盐浓度逐渐提高的胁迫条件下,对抗盐的胡杨（Populus euphratica）和盐敏感的群众杨（P.popularis 35~44）1年实生苗木叶片中Na⁺、Cl^-水平、O₂^-•产生速率以及抗氧化酶：超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（APX）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）的动态变化以及抗盐性进行了研究。结果表明,在盐浓度不断提高的胁迫条件下,群众杨叶片中Na⁺、Cl^-浓度持续增加,盐胁迫18d时,群众杨叶中Na⁺、Cl^-含量分别达到对照的17.8和14.6倍,此时O₂^-•产生速率也达到最高水平。而在盐胁迫期间,群众杨叶片SOD活性没有明显提高,CAT活性维持在对照水平以下,只有APX和GR活性在盐胁迫13~18d,即盐害症状出现前才有所上升,属于典型的盐害反应。胡杨与群众杨明显不同：在盐胁迫初期,胡杨叶片Na⁺、Cl^-含量虽然没有明显的变化,但胡杨叶片中O₂^-•产生速率在盐胁7d时明显提高,SOD、APX、CAT活性也都先后相应上升,表明胡杨能响应盐胁迫并上调SOD、APX和CAT等保护酶类,降低盐诱导的膜脂过氧化,从而减少了电解质外渗,最终提高了树木的抗盐性。     

盐胁迫对红麻幼苗生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

为研究不同盐胁迫时间和不同盐浓度胁迫对红麻（Hibiscus cannabinusL.）幼苗的生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响,探寻红麻耐盐的生理机制,为盐碱地种植红麻提供科学依据,本研究对红麻幼苗进行了两种不同条件的盐胁迫处理。一种将红麻幼苗在0（对照组）、140 mmol/L NaCl的半强度Hoagland营养液下分别处理3、6、9 d,另一种是在0（对照组）、70、140、200 mmol/L NaCl的1/2 Hoagland营养液下处理6 d,分别测定两种盐胁迫条件下植株的鲜重、根长、茎长、叶片H2O2、丙二醛（MDA）含量、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）活性。结果显示：（1）在第一种处理条件下,随着盐胁迫时间的延长,处理组红麻幼苗的鲜重相对于对照分别减轻了19.63%、19.35%和39.03%,株高则分别降低了25.59%、19.17%和18.48%,处理组的SOD活性先增后减,POD活性先减后增,MDA和H2O2的含量、CAT和GR活性基本随胁迫时间的增长而增高。（2）在第二种处理条件下,随着胁迫盐浓度的增加,处理组鲜重相对于对照分别减轻了16.79%、19.35%和44.73%,株高则分别降低了11.21%、19.17%和23.62%,处理组SOD活性都稍高于对照,但三者无显著差异,POD活性先减后增,MDA和H2O2的含量、CAT和GR活性基本上随着盐浓度增加而增加。实验表明,在两种不同条件的盐胁迫下,红麻幼苗受盐害的程度基本上随胁迫时间和盐浓度的增加而加重。处理组植株的SOD和POD活性较对照组增加不明显,甚至有所降低,而CAT和GR活性则相对较高,CAT和GR可能在红麻幼苗抵御盐害时起较重要作用。

以不同耐盐性黄瓜品种“长春密刺”和“津春2号”为材料,采用营养液栽培,研究了外源亚精胺(Spd)对NaCl胁迫下黄瓜幼苗叶片与根系中超氧阴离子(O2-.)产生速率、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的影响。结果表明,外源Spd对未经盐胁迫处理(对照)黄瓜幼苗体内O2-.产生速率、SOD、CAT和POD活性均无显著性影响;盐胁迫处理提高了O2-.产生速率,SOD、POD和CAT活性都有不同程度的升高;外源Spd处理进一步提高了盐胁迫下SOD、POD和CAT活性,减缓了O2-.产生速率。与耐盐型“长春密刺”品种相比,盐胁迫对盐敏感型“津春2号”影响较大,外源Spd对盐敏感型黄瓜品种盐胁迫伤害的缓解作用较大。表明盐胁迫下外源Spd可缓解盐胁迫对膜的伤害,从而提高黄瓜幼苗的耐盐性。     

外源ATP对盐胁迫下油菜幼苗生长的影响

研究了外源ATP处理对盐胁迫下油菜幼苗生长的影响,探讨了过氧化氢(H_2O_2)和钙离子(Ca~(2+))作为信号分子在ATP对油菜幼苗耐盐性调控过程中的作用。结果表明:与单独Na Cl处理相比,ATP+Na Cl处理降低了油菜幼苗死细胞数量、ROS(■和H_2O_2)含量、离子(Ca~(2+)、Na~+、Cl~-)含量、MDA含量及Na~+/K~+比和相对电导率,增加了叶片中叶绿素、脯氨酸、可溶性糖含量和抗氧化酶(SOD、POD、CAT、APX)活性,提高了抗氧化酶基因(CAT、SOD、APX、GR)、NADPH氧化酶基因(RBOHD、RBOHF)、P5CS1基因、MAPK激酶基因(MAPK3、MAPK6)、耐盐基因(NHX1、SOS1)转录;与ATP+Na Cl处理相比,ATP+Na Cl+抑制剂(DPI、DMTU和EGTA)处理下油菜幼苗中相对电导率、MDA、叶绿素、脯氨酸、可溶性糖含量和抗氧化酶(SOD、POD、CAT、APX)活性及上述基因表达量均呈不同程度降低,表明外源ATP可提高Na Cl胁迫下油菜叶片细胞活性、ROS含量、离子含量、叶绿素含量、渗透调节物质、抗氧化酶活性及相关基因的表达量,缓解膜质损伤。此外,H_2O_2和Ca~(2+)信号分子也参与了ATP增强油菜幼苗耐盐性过程的调控。

盐胁迫下胡杨和合作杨悬浮细胞端粒酶与抵御氧化损伤的关系

胡杨是我国西北干旱盐碱荒漠和戈壁地带唯一能形成森林的高大乔木树种,具有较高抗盐性。旨在探究盐胁迫下细胞端粒酶活性变化与氧化损伤的关系,以抗盐的胡杨和盐敏感的合作杨悬浮细胞为材料,检测了Na Cl盐胁迫条件下胡杨和合作杨细胞生长、超氧阴离子自由基与丙二醛含量以及端粒酶活性的变化。结果表明,在正常生长条件下,胡杨和合作杨细胞符合S型生长曲线,且合作杨细胞的生长量高于胡杨细胞;在盐胁迫100 mmol/L时胡杨在培养7 d内细胞活力高于对照(0 mmol/L),即使盐浓度达到300 mmol/L时15 d胡杨细胞依然保持一定的细胞活力,而较低盐处理对合作杨细胞活力影响即较大,当盐浓度达到300 mmol/L时合作杨在第5 d细胞活力已接近零;与合作杨相比,低浓度盐胁迫(100 mmol/L)使胡杨细胞内超氧阴离子自由基含量增加,端粒酶活性较高,而合作杨丙二醛含量显著增加;低浓度(20 mmol/L)H2O2诱导了胡杨细胞端粒酶活性,合作杨的变化则不显著,但高浓度(200 mmol/L)Na Cl和高浓度(50 mmol/L)H_2O_2可能造成了胡杨和合作杨氧化损伤,端粒酶活性降低。抗盐性强的胡杨细胞端粒酶对抵御细胞内氧化损伤具有一定作用。     

外源γ-氨基丁酸对低氧胁迫下甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响

以甜瓜品种‘西域一号’幼苗为材料,采用营养液水培方法,设置正常通气(对照)、正常通气+GABA(5mmol.L-1)、低氧胁迫、低氧胁迫+GABA(5mmol.L-1)4个处理,研究了外源γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)对正常通气和低氧胁迫下甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响。结果表明:与正常通气处理相比,低氧胁迫处理导致甜瓜幼苗体内O2.-产生速率和H2O2、MDA含量显著增加,同时SOD、POD、CAT、APX、GR等抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物质AsA、GSH含量显著提高。低氧胁迫下外源GABA能显著提高甜瓜幼苗叶片SOD、CAT、APX、GR等酶活性和AsA、GSH含量,降低了植株体内O2.-产生速率和H2O2、MDA含量;而正常通气条件下添加外源GABA处理对甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响较小,仅CAT、GR活性和AsA、GSH含量显著提高,而H2O2、MDA含量显著降低。结果证明,添加外源GABA可以通过显著提高低氧胁迫下抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物质含量来降低甜瓜幼苗活性氧积累,维持其细胞膜结构稳定性,从而有效减轻低氧胁迫对甜瓜幼苗的伤害。     

钙对根际低氧胁迫下黄瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响

钙抑制剂对机械损伤胁迫下合作杨叶片活性氧代谢的影响

药用红花幼苗对盐胁迫的生理响应机制

以红花为材料,研究了不同浓度NaCl(0、50、100和150 mmol·L-1)胁迫对红花幼苗叶片中的可溶性糖(SS)、可溶性蛋白(SP)及抗氧化酶系(T-AOC、SOD、CAT)的影响。结果表明:盐分对红花幼苗生长的抑制作用随NaCl浓度增加而加剧,且对地上部分的抑制作用大于根部。胁迫初期(10 d),各处理红花幼苗中的T-AOC的活性没有明显变化;但高盐胁迫显著提高了CAT的活性。与对照相比,盐胁迫明显提高了红花中的SS、SP的含量及SOD的活性,但各盐处理之间没有明显差异。胁迫中期(20 d),各处理间SOD的活性无明显变化;SS的含量随盐浓度的增加而明显增加,且处理间差异显著;SP的含量和CAT、T-AOC的活性与对照相比均有所增加。盐胁迫后期(30 d),SP和SS的含量在叶片中有积累的趋势,但T-AOC和SOD却相反,其活性较对照处理均有所下降,而盐处理的CAT的活性较对照处理无明显差异。因此,供试红花幼苗在盐胁迫初期主要是通过合成渗透调节物质和活性氧清除机制共同作用来抵御盐分胁迫,随着胁迫时间的延长则主要通过合成渗透调节物质来抵御盐害,其中可溶性糖对盐浓度的响应起到关键作用。     

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.

Cytoskeleton and mitochondrial morphology and function

It has been well established that the cytoskeleton is an essential modulator of cell morphology and motility, intracytoplasmic transport and mitosis, however cytoskeletal linkage to the organelles has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Indeed, cytoskeleton appears to be essential in determining and modulating gene phenotype as a function of cellular environment. According to recent studies, the organization of the cytoskeleton network together with associated protein(s) could be essential in regulating mitochondrial function and particularly the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane to ADP. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the main properties of the cytoskeletal environment of mitochondria and the possible role(s) of this network in mitochondrial function in myocytes.     

Vascular volumes and hematology in male and female runners and cyclists

To examine the hypothesis that foot-strike hemolysis alters vascular volumes and selected hematological properties is trained athletes, we have measured total blood volume (TBV), red cell volume (RCV) and plasma volume (PV) in cyclists (n = 21) and runners (n = 17) and compared them to those of untrained controls (n = 20). TBV (ml x kg(-1)) was calculated as the sum of RCV (ml x kg(-1)) and PV (ml x kg(-1)) obtained using 51Cr and 125I-labelled albumin, respectively. Hematological assessment was carried out using a Coulter counter. Peak aerobic power (VO2peak) was measured during progressive exercise to fatigue using both cycle and treadmill ergometry. RCV was 15% higher (P < 0.05) in male cyclists [35.4 (1.0), mean (SE); n = 12] and runners [35.3 (0.98); n = 9] compared to the controls [30.7 (0.92); n = 12]. Similar differences existed between the female cyclists [28.2 (2.1); n = 9] and runners [28.4 (1.0); n = 8] compared to the untrained controls [24.9 (1.4); n = 8]. For the male athletes, PV was between 19% (cyclists) and 28% (runners) higher (P < 0.05) in the trained athletes compared to the untrained controls. The differences in PV between the female groups were not significant. Although the males had a higher (P < 0.05) TBV, RCV and PV than the females, no differences between cyclists and runners were found for either gender. Mean cell volume was not different between the athletic groups. VO2peak (ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was higher (P < 0.05) in both male [68.4 (1.5)] and female [54.8 (2.1)] runners when compared to the untrained males [47.1 (1.0)] and females [40.5 (2.1)]. Although differences existed between the genders in VO2peak for both cyclists and runners, no differences were found between the athletic groups within a gender. Since the vascular volumes were not different between cyclists and runners for either the males or females, foot-strike hemolysis would not appear to have an effect on that parameter. The significant correlations (P < 0.05) found between VO2peak and RCV (r = 0.64 and 0.64) and TBV (r = 0.82 and 0.63) for the males and females, respectively, suggests a role for the vascular system in realizing a high aerobic power.     

Microbial and bioconversion production of D-xylitol and its detection and application

D-Xylitol is found in low content as a natural constituent of many fruits and vegetables. It is a five-carbon sugar polyol and has been used as a food additive and sweetening agent to replace sucrose, especially for non-insulin dependent diabetics. It has multiple beneficial health effects, such as the prevention of dental caries, and acute otitis media. In industry, it has been produced by chemical reduction of D-xylose mainly from photosynthetic biomass hydrolysates. As an alternative method of chemical reduction, biosynthesis of D-xylitol has been focused on the metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida strains. In order to detect D-xylitol in the production processes, several detection methods have been established, such as gas chromatography (GC)-based methods, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based methods, LC-MS methods, and capillary electrophoresis methods (CE). The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are compared in this review.
