根尖分生组织细胞核大小:一个可能用于植物入侵性评估的新指标(英文)

植物的入侵性与DNA C-值之间存在统计学上的负相关关系。在这种关系中,细胞和细胞核大小可能起关键作用,因此我们推测分生组织细胞核大小在评估植物或至少某些分类群的入侵性方面有潜在的应用价值。本研究以豌豆属(Vicia)5种入侵能力不同的植物为材料,观察了它们的分生组织染色体、细胞核和细胞大小以及有丝分裂速率,同时测定了种子产量、单位种子干重产生的幼苗生物量(近似于幼苗相对生长速率)和生活史的长短。结果显示根尖分生区细胞核较小的植物细胞较小,细胞分裂速率快,单位种子干重产生的幼苗生物量高,种子小而数量多,生活史短。这些结果表明5种豌豆属植物中分生组织细胞核较小的倾向于具有较高的入侵性,其原因主要是:(1)能够产生小而多的种子;(2)具有较高的有丝分裂速率、相对较快的幼苗生长速率和短的生活史。分生组织细胞核大小影响植物入侵性与DNA C-值的作用是一致的,在植物入侵性评估模型中,分生组织细胞核大小在评估植物入侵性方面可能具有潜在的应用价值,而且其测定方便、费用低廉。但是,这一指标的应用范围和条件需要进一步筛选。     

Assessment of the functional method of hip joint center location subject to reduced range of hip motion

Motion analysis of the lower extremities usually requires determination of the location of the hip joint center. The results of several recent studies have suggested that kinematic and kinetic variables calculated from motion analysis data are highly sensitive to errors in hip joint center location. "Functional" methods in which the location of the hip joint center is determined from the relative motion of the thigh and pelvis, rather than from the locations of bony landmarks, are promising but may be ineffective when motion is limited. The aims of the present study were to determine whether the accuracy of the functional method is compromised in young and elderly subjects when limitations on hip motion are imposed and to investigate the possibility of locating the hip joint center using data collected during commonly studied motions (walking, sit-to-stand, stair ascent, stair descent) rather than using data from an ad hoc trial in which varied hip motions are performed. The results of the study suggested that functional methods would result in worst-case hip joint center location errors of 26mm (comparable to the average errors previously reported for joint center location based on bony landmarks) when available hip motion is substantially limited. Much larger errors ( approximately 70mm worst-case), however, resulted when hip joint centers were located from data collected during commonly performed motions, perhaps because these motions are, for the most part, restricted to the sagittal plane. It appears that the functional method can be successfully implemented when range of motion is limited but still requires collection of a special motion trial in which hip motion in both the sagittal and frontal planes is recorded.     

A global optimization method for prediction of muscle forces of human musculoskeletal system

Inverse dynamic optimization is a popular method for predicting muscle and joint reaction forces within human musculoskeletal joints. However, the traditional formulation of the optimization method does not include the joint reaction moment in the moment equilibrium equation, potentially violating the equilibrium conditions of the joint. Consequently, the predicted muscle and joint reaction forces are coordinate system-dependent. This paper presents an improved optimization method for the prediction of muscle forces and joint reaction forces. In this method, the location of the rotation center of the joint is used as an optimization variable, and the moment equilibrium equation is formulated with respect to the joint rotation center to represent an accurate moment constraint condition. The predicted muscle and joint reaction forces are independent of the joint coordinate system. The new optimization method was used to predict muscle forces of an elbow joint. The results demonstrated that the joint rotation center location varied with applied loading conditions. The predicted muscle and joint reaction forces were different from those predicted by using the traditional optimization method. The results further demonstrated that the improved optimization method converged to a minimum for the objective function that is smaller than that reached by using the traditional optimization method. Therefore, the joint rotation center location should be involved as a variable in an inverse dynamic optimization method for predicting muscle and joint reaction forces within human musculoskeletal joints.     

Accuracy of the functional method of hip joint center location: effects of limited motion and varied implementation.

Accurate location of the hip joint center is essential for computation of hip kinematics and kinetics as well as for determination of the moment arms of muscles crossing the hip. The functional method of hip joint center location involves fitting a pelvis-fixed sphere to the path traced by a thigh-fixed point while a subject performs hip motions; the center of this sphere is the hip joint center. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential accuracy of the functional method and the dependence of its accuracy on variations in its implementation and the amount of available hip motion. The motions of a mechanical linkage were studied to isolate the factors of interest, removing errors due to skin movement and the palpation of bony landmarks that are always present in human studies. It was found that reducing the range of hip motion from 30 degrees to 15 degrees did significantly increase hip joint center location errors, but that restricting motion to a single plane did not. The magnitudes of these errors, however, even in the least accurate cases, were smaller than those previously reported for either the functional method or other methods based on pelvis measurements of living subjects and cadaver specimens. Neither increasing the number of motion data observations nor analyzing the motion of a single thigh marker (rather than the centroid of multiple markers) was found to significantly increase error. The results of this study (1) imply that the limited range of motion that is often evident in subjects with hip pathology does not preclude accurate determination of the hip joint center when the functional method is used; and (2) provide guidelines for the use of the functional method in human subjects.     

A comparison of methods to determine center of mass during pregnancy

Balance changes during pregnancy likely occur because of mass gains and mass distribution changes. However, to date there is no way of tracking balance through center of mass motion because no method is available to identify of the body center of mass throughout pregnancy. We compared methods for determining segment masses and torso center of mass location. The availability of a method for tracking these changes during pregnancy will make determining balance changes through center of mass motion an option for future pregnancy balance research. Thirty pregnant women from eight weeks gestation until birth were recruited for monthly anthropometric measurements, motion capture analysis of body segment locations, and force plate analysis of center of pressure during quiet standing and supine laying. From these measurements, we were able to compare regression, volume measurement, and weighted sum methods to calculate body center of mass throughout pregnancy. We found that mass changes around the trunk were most prevalent as expected, but mass changes throughout the body (especially the thighs) were also seen. Our findings also suggest that a series of anthropometric measurements first suggested by Pavol et al. (2002), in combination with quiet standing on a force plate, can be used to identify the needed components (segment masses and torso center of mass location in three dimensions) to calculate body center of mass changes during pregnancy. The results of this study will make tracking of center of mass motion a possibility for future pregnancy balance research.

A sensitivity analysis of the calculation of mechanical output through inverse dynamics: a computer simulation study

The purpose of this study was to systematically determine the effect of experimental errors on the work output calculated using two different methods of inverse dynamics during vertical jumping: (a) the conventional (rotational) method and (b) the translational method. A two-dimensional musculoskeletal model was used to generate precisely known kinematics. Next, the location of each joint center (JC) and the location of each segment's center of mass (CM) were manipulated by +/-10% of segment length to simulate errors in the location of joint centers (delta JC) and errors in the location of segment's center of mass (delta CM), respectively. Work output was subsequently calculated by applying the two methods of inverse dynamics to the manipulated kinematic data. The results showed that the translational method of inverse dynamics was less sensitive (up to 13% error in total work output) to delta JC and delta CM than the rotational method (up to 28% error in total work output). The rotational method of inverse dynamics was particularly sensitive to simulated errors in JC.     

日本鳗鲡精卵的超微结构以及受精过程观察

通过扫描电镜和透射电镜对经人工催产获得的日本鳗鲡(Anguilla japonica)精子、卵膜的超微结构以及受精过程进行了观察。实验观察到,除一般硬骨鱼类的精子特性外,日本鳗鲡精子有其独特的结构。精子头部为不规则的梨形,有背腹面之分。一个巨大的球形线粒体位于头部顶端。精子中段向后伸出一支根,支根位于袖套腔外精子的背侧,前端向精子头部线粒体方向延伸,支根的微管结构为"8+2"结构,并在精子入卵过程中起到切断鞭毛的作用。精子的尾部由鞭毛和鞭毛末端的结组成。鞭毛横切面呈圆形,无侧鳍,鞭毛微管结构为"9+0"结构。受精卵的整个表面密布着无规律延伸的脊、脊包围形成的窝和窝中的孔所组成的脊孔复合体,但无典型特征的受精孔。受精卵超薄切片观察发现,日本鳗鲡卵膜分为外层壳膜和内层卵黄膜。壳膜与卵黄膜间为卵周隙。壳膜只观察到放射带,未见透明带。放射带可分为三个亚层:最外层为脊孔复合体的脊,中间层为皱纹层,最内层为致密的平滑层。脊孔复合体的孔横穿整个放射带,在放射带内层形成一个乳突状结构。日本鳗鲡的卵膜不仅具有保护卵子的作用,而且还参与了受精。实验还通过扫描电镜观察了日本鳗鲡精子的入卵过程。观察结果认为:日本鳗鲡精子入卵过程可分为卵膜对精子的吸引、精子对卵膜的锚定、精核的进入和孔封闭等4个阶段。但由于研究只观察到受精过程中日本鳗鲡精子和卵膜的形态变化,因此对精子穿过卵膜的方式和特征等尚需做进一步的研究。整个受精过程为1min30s左右。此外,研究还探讨了日本鳗鲡精子结构的特殊性和受精过程的特殊性,为进一步突破日本鳗鲡人工育苗技术提供了理论依据。       

Magnetic resonance study of the structure and functions of cytochrome P450

Cytochrome P450 is a membrane-bound enzyme providing oxidation of numerous organic compounds in organisms. The objective of this review is to show the wide possibilities that are provided by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques to the study of the structure and functions of this unique enzyme. High sensitivity of ESR spectra of cytochrome P450 to its functional state and interaction with substrates and inhibitors is illustrated. NMR and proton relaxation make it possible to obtain unique information about the structure of the active center of cytochrome P450 under physiological conditions. ESR and NMR methods allow one to obtain structural data on location of substrates, inhibitors, and their spin-labeled analogs with respect to Fe3+ ions in the enzyme-active center. Of special interest seems to be coupling of ESR with the affinity modification method. For this purpose, the spin-labeled analogs of cytochrome P450 substrates containing alkylating groups were used. As a result, an important datum has been obtained on the structure of active centers of cytochrome P450 in microsomes and in a highly purified state. In conclusion, the problems of the structure and functions of cytochrome P450, which can be most efficiently resolved with the use of magnetic resonance methods, are discussed.
