在不同营养条件下铜绿微囊藻对模拟微重力胁迫的响应

通过测定在不同重力水平和营养条件下培养的铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)的各项生理生化指标,研究了培养基的营养物质浓度对微囊藻细胞响应模拟微重力胁迫的影响。结果表明,在正常浓度的BG-11(富营养)和营养盐浓度减为1/10的BG-11(贫营养)培养基中培养的微囊藻对模拟微重力胁迫都很敏感,培养2d后多项生理生化指标显著改变;但是在富营养和贫营养条件下,模拟微重力的作用效果是截然不同的。对培养在BG-11中的微囊藻细胞来说,模拟微重力抑制其生长和光合活性,导致细胞内色素(叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素)、蛋白(藻蓝蛋白和可溶性蛋白)和毒素含量显著升高,向外分泌的毒素含量降低;而对培养在1/10BG-11中的藻细胞来说,模拟微重力促进其生长和光合活性,导致细胞内色素、蛋白和毒素含量降低,并使得毒素分泌增强。模拟微重力或营养限制单独作用所造成的影响相似,且后者的作用效果强于前者。当二者同时存在时,模拟微重力可以部分抵消营养限制对微囊藻生长和代谢的影响,这可能是由于模拟微重力下藻细胞的生长受到抑制而导致营养需求降低,也可能是由于模拟微重力提高了藻细胞利用营养物质的效率。总之,微囊藻对模拟微重力胁迫的响应与培养基的营养条件有关。

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.

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.     

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).
