腺苷及其受体阻断剂对蟾蜍离体心脏功能的影响

实验采用离体心脏灌流方法,观察了腺苷,腺苷受体特异性阻断ＤＰＣＰＸ以及非特异性腺苷受体阻断剂茶碱对两栖类动物蟾蜍的离体心脏力和心率的影响。结果显示,腺苷对心脏收缩力和心率有明显的剂量依赖性抑制作用。单纯的ＤＰＣＰＸ或茶碱对心肌收缩力和心率无显著影响,但在含腺苷的灌流液中加入ＤＰＣＰＸ或茶碱后,对腺苷有明显的拮抗效应。     

日本根霉IFO5318胞外β—葡萄糖苷酶的纯化及部分特性

采用硫酸铵沉淀及柱层析等步骤纯化了日本根霉IFO5318的β—葡萄糖苷酶,回收率为22％。该酶分子量约为4.0×10~5,由四个相同大小的亚基组成;最适反应温度55℃,最适反应pH5.5;对热较敏感,但能在较大的pH范围内保持稳定。用对硝基苯基—β-D-吡喃葡糖苷为底物,测得的K_m和V_(max)值分别为0.825mg·ml~(-1)和135.4μmol·min~(-1)·mg~(-1)。该酶对纤维二糖的水解能力最强,SDS、Fe~(3 )、Hg~2 )等对酶活力有抑制作用。

广西西北部拉丁期菊石群

描述产于２西北部中三叠统上部兰木组的菊石化石８属１１种,其中包括１新种。通过与欧洲、北美相应时期菊石序列的讨论和对比,建立该区中三叠世拉丁期晚期的两个菊石层－Ｐｒｏｔｒａｃｈｙｃｅｒａｓ－Ｊｏａｎｎｉｔｅｓ层和Ｆｒａｎｋｉｔｅｓ层。     

PCR——四步两段扩增法分离人碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（hbFGF）基因

引物是决定ＰＣＲ结果的关键,本实验中,引物Ⅰ,Ⅱ虽有２６个碱基,但由于其５′端有８个碱基为限制性内切酶的识别序列,所以实际上只有１８个碱基与原始模板互补配对,采用标准的ＰＣＲ方法时不能产生理想结果,经采用ＰＣＲ－四步两段扩增法从人胎盘ｃＤＮＡ文库中分离得到了－４８４ｂｐ的ＤＮＡ片段。通过斑点杂交鉴定,结果表明该ＤＮＡ片段为ｈｂＦＧＦ基因。     

Expression of cytochrome P4502E1 in human liver: Relationship between genotype and phenotype in Chinese

Polymorphic cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) plays an important role in the metabolic activation of many carcinogens. We have previously shown that the c1/c1 genotype recognized byRsa I in the 5′-regulatory region of theCYP2E1 may be a susceptibility factor for developing esophageal cancer and lung cancer in Chinese. The present study was to investigate the relationship between theRsa I genotype and the expression of CYP2E1 in human livers. A total of 50 liver specimens were genotyped forCYP2E1 and assayed for CYP2E1 protein contents and functional activity by using specific antibody in immunoblot and a probe substrate,p-nitrophenol. A considerable interindividual variation in CYP2E1 protein (20-fold) and functional activity (56-fold) was observed among these liver samples. However, when they were categorized according to genotype, the mean content of CYP2E1 protein was significantly higher among individuals with the c1/c1 genotype than that among those having c1/c2 or c2/c2 genotype [124.0±83.9 pmol/mg (n = 28) versus 65.5 ±38.9 pmol/mg (n = 22),P<0.01]. The mean activity of CYP2E1 towardsp-nitrophenol for the c1/c1 genotype was also higher than that for the variant genotypes (198.4±27.8 pmol/min/mg versus 101.2 ±18.1 pmol^-1 · min^-1 · mg^-1,P<0.01). Also, the protein levels and functional activity showed a significant correlation (r = 0.68,P<0.01). These results demonstrate an association between theRsa I genotype and the phenotype of CYP2E1 in our samples, and the data are compatible with the assumption thatCYP2E1 c1/c1 genotype is a susceptibility factor for certain cancers in Chinese.     

短尾猴和猕猴在中国安徽省南部的分布

短尾猴(Macaca thibetana)和猕猴(Macaca mulatta)在安徽省的分布见于长江以南,短尾猴限于海拔600-1500米的山地,而猕猴则从平地一直分布到没有短尾猴占据的较高山地。短尾猴所选择的栖息地海拔高度较高,并决定于是否有悬崖和常绿阔叶林。两种猴的分布区,都因人类的严重干扰而缩小。但是,如果其栖息地得到很好的保护,它的种群密度可以接近黄山的水平。两种猴之间的分布界限也反映了它们生态关系的一般形式。

鼻咽癌的端粒酶活性检测及其临床意义初探

采用Ｋｉｍ 等建立的端粒重复序列扩增法及内标技术对５８ 例患者的鼻咽活检标本进行其端粒酶活性测定． ４３ 例鼻咽癌确诊患者标本的该酶阳性率为９０．７％ ,１５ 例鼻咽部慢性炎症（对照组）标本的该酶阳性率为６．７％ ． ３ 例复发的鼻咽癌标本均呈阳性, ２ 例治愈的鼻咽癌标本则属阴性． 鼻咽癌组织端粒酶活性在不同性别、年龄、病理类型、临床分期的样本之间无显著差异． 由于鼻咽癌组织的端粒酶活化现象普遍存在,其活性检测可望成为鼻咽癌早期诊断、治疗监测及预后的指标．
