玫瑰茄光周期反应的研究

来源于泰国、中美洲、塞内加尔、印度和埃及的五个玫瑰茄品系,在光周期为8、16和24小时的人工气候室内生长。通过短日照和连续光照诱导开花证实,所有品系均为双光周期。各品系在花、果发育和由短日照转变到长日照后持续地成花诱导中显出差异。短日照和连续光照产生的生理效应和形态效应均不同。在每个叶腋的两个成对芽中,左芽在光周期为8和24小时成花,在光周期16小时保持休眠;右芽在8小时保持休眠,在16小时发育成营养枝,而在24小时发育成花枝。作者讨论了这些资料对亚热带条件下玫瑰茄育种和栽培的重要意义。     

龈下菌斑对种植体周围边缘骨吸收有影响

为探讨龈下菌斑对种植体周围边缘骨吸收的影响,本研究选取2015年2月至2017年10月在我院治疗的80例后牙缺失患者,根据种植后3个月改良菌斑指数(modified plaque index, m PLI)分为A组54例(m PLI为0分)和B组26例(mPLI为1~3分),观察两组种植体周围骨吸收及龈沟出血指数(sulcular bleeding index,SBI),同时检测龈下菌斑微生物。结果表明:A组种植后SBI为(1.06±0.11)分,明显低于B组的(1.20±0.16)分(p0.05);A组近中和远中边缘骨吸收量分别为(1.20±0.16) mm和(1.23±0.18) mm,明显低于B组的(1.40±0.15) mm和(1.37±0.16) mm (p0.05);种植前,A组中间普氏菌、牙龈卟啉单胞菌、福赛拟杆菌和齿垢密螺旋体比例分别为33.33%、18.52%、14.81%和22.22%,明显低于B组的65.38%、61.54%、73.08%和84.62%(p0.05),而直肠弯曲菌和伴放线放线杆菌比例比较差异无统计学意义(p0.05)。本研究初步结论表明龈下菌斑对种植体周围边缘骨吸收有影响,与菌斑微生物可能有一定关系,故在种植体修复时,应注意牙周基础治疗。     

中国人群脂蛋白脂肪酶基因突变与高脂血症的相关性研究

为进行脂蛋白脂肪酶基因突变与中国人群高脂血症的相关性研究,采用单链构象多态性分析结合DNA序列测定的方法,对386例(其中108例高脂血症患者,278例正常对照)中国人群进行突变筛查。结果发现1个新的沉默突变L103L,1个错义突变P207L,3个剪接突变Int3/3′-ass/C(-6)→T和普遍存在的S447X多态性,其中发生在高脂血症组的P207L杂合子为亚洲首报,并对先证者的家系进行了研究,认为P207L是家族性高脂血症的病因之一,而在正常对照组中也有发现的Int3/3′-ass/C(-6)→T,对以往研究认为其是高脂血症易患因素的观点提出了相反的报告,对于普遍认为有益的多态性位点S447X,进一步研究认为其对于正常人群,特别是健康男性的保护作用更强。结论:脂蛋白脂肪酶基因变异与高脂血症的相关性十分复杂多样,大规模的人群筛查具有重要意义。     

茚虫威亚致死浓度对茚虫威敏感性降低的棉铃虫生物学参数及解毒酶活性的影响

【目的】本研究旨在明确茚虫威亚致死浓度对茚虫威敏感性降低的棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera生物学参数及解毒酶活性的影响,以科学有效防治这一害虫,避免其对茚虫威的抗性快速发展。【方法】采用浸叶法测定了茚虫威对棉铃虫茚虫威抗性汰选种群(TP)及其同源对照种群(CP)3龄幼虫的毒力;用两性生命表分析LC₂₀浓度茚虫威对TP种群当代(F₀)生命表参数的影响,并测定了LC₂₀浓度茚虫威处理48 h后CP和TP种群棉铃虫3龄幼虫体内解毒酶［多功能氧化酶(MFO)、羧酸酯酶(CarE)和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GST)］及乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)的活性。【结果】茚虫威对棉铃虫CP种群和TP种群3龄幼虫的LC₂₀分别为2.27和9.91 mg/L。LC₂₀茚虫威处理TP种群后,48 h的生长量、化蛹率、羽化率和成虫畸形率均显著低于未用药对照,而特定年龄生命期望值e_xj高于未用药对照;TP种群棉铃虫3龄幼虫体内GST和MFO活性与CP种群相比显著升高,CarE活性显著降低。【结论】本研究结果表明棉铃虫TP种群在LC₂₀浓度茚虫威胁迫下存在明显的生长与繁殖不利性,同时对其也产生了适应能力。LC₂₀浓度茚虫威处理后,棉铃虫TP种群的GST和MFO活性被显著诱导,说明这两种酶可能与棉铃虫对茚虫威产生抗药性密切相关;而CarE活性被显著抑制,说明该酶可能参与了茚虫威转化成N-脱甲氧羰基代谢物(DCJW)的活化过程。     

Determination of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 peptides presented by the type I diabetes-associated HLA-DQ8 class II molecule identifies an immunogenic peptide motif

Particular HLA class II allelic sequences are associated with susceptibility to type I diabetes. To understand the mechanism, knowledge of the molecular nature of the specific TCR/peptide/class II interactions involved in the disease process is required. To this end, we have introduced the diabetes-associated human class II HLA-DQ8 allele (DQA1*0301/DQB1*0302) as a transgene into mice and analyzed T cell responses restricted by this molecule to an important Ag in human diabetes, human glutamic acid decarboxylase 65. Hybridomas were used to determine the particular peptides from this Ag presented by HLA-DQ8 to T cells and to map the core minimal epitopes required for T cell stimulation. Analysis of these core epitopes reveals a motif and relevant features for peptides that are immunogenic to T cells when presented by HLA-DQ8. The major immunogenic epitopes of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 do not contain a negatively charged residue that binds in the P9 pocket of the HLA-DQ8 molecule. PBMC from HLA-DQ8+ diabetic and nondiabetic individuals respond to these peptides, confirming that the mouse model is a useful tool to define epitopes of autoantigens that are processed by human APC and recognized by human T cells.     

Isolation and functional analysis of a Brassica juncea gene encoding a com-ponent of auxin efflux carrier

Polar auxin transport plays a divergent role in plant growth and developmental processes including root and embryo development, vascular pattern formation and cell elongation. Recently isolated Arabidopsis pin gene family was believed to encode a component of auxin efflux carrier (G(?)lweiler et al, 1998). Based on the Arabidopsis pin1 sequence we have isolated a Brassica juncea cDNA (designated Bjpin1), which encoded a 70-kDa putative auxin efflux carrier. Deduced BjPIN1 shared 65% identities at protein level with AtPINl and was highly homologous to other putative PIN proteins of Arabidopsis (with highest homology to AtPIN3). Hydrophobic analysis showed similar structures between BjPINl and AtPIN proteins. Presence of 6 exons (varying in size between 65 bp and 1229 bp) and 5 introns (sizes between 89 bp and 463 bp) in the genomic fragment was revealed by comparing the genomic and cDNA sequences. Northern blot analysis indicated that Bjpin1 was expressed in most of the tissues tested, with a relatively h
