0.21nm分辨率BO-(L-精氨酸)牛胰岛素晶体结构研究

应用差值Fourier技术,立体化学最小二乘技术和XPLOR程序并辅以电子密度图的人工拟合,以三方二锌猪胰岛素模型为起点,解析了0.21nm分辨率BO-(L-精氨酸)牛胰岛素的晶体结构,最终R因子为18.2%,与标准键长与键角的均方根偏差分别为0.0022nm和 4.3°.从电子密度图与模型的拟合来看,独立区两个分子中B链N端加长的L-精氨酸清晰可见.相对于三方二锌猪胰岛素分子,B链N端晶体学微环境发生了变化.     

金鱼草胚囊的人工分离

用果胶酶与纤维素酶的混合液离解金鱼草的胚珠,从中分离出完整的胚囊。由固定材料分离的胚囊,经透明染色后可借助干涉差显微装置观察由受精前直至受精后具上百个胚乳细胞时期的胚囊的内部结构。由新鲜胚珠分离胚囊也已初步突破,并对其作了简易的显微化学观察。讨论了活胚囊分离的意义与胚囊离体培养的前景。     

昆虫神经毒素的研究:各种神经毒剂引起毒素的产生

用五类(七种)神经毒性的杀虫药剂,对美洲(虫非)蠊测定了它们能否引起血淋巴中毒素的产生。DDT、溴氰菊酯及六六六均能引起血淋巴中毒素的产生,而E605、西维因、巴丹及杀虫脒均无此效果。纸层析及薄层层析,用标准样品(酪氨酸、酪胺、苯乙胺、L-亮氨酸及异戊胺)作比较,测定了这一产生的血淋巴中的毒素乃是酪胺,或主要是酪胺。增效试验,证明了杀虫脒与DDT或溴氰菊酯合用时,能增加酪胺的产量。讨论了这一毒素产生的条件,以及这一毒素有可能不是单一成分,而是几种单胺及氨基酸的复合物,但酪胺为其主要成分。     

蛴螬病原菌(Bacillus sp.)的初步研究

蛴螬是农林生产上的重要地下害虫,由于长期栖居地下,防治较为困难。多年实践证明,采用综合防治措施可以有效地控制为害,利用病原微生物防治蛴螬是综合防治中的一个环节,是值得今后深入研究的课题。 1975年9月,我们在河北省任邱县白洋淀附近玉米地采到数头自然患病的阔胸犀金龟(Pento-don patruelis Frivaldszkz)三龄幼虫。1976年5     

桃小食心虫生物学的研究——果实对幼虫蛀果、成活、生长发育及滞育的影响

桃小食心虫(Carposina niponensis Wals)是我国苹果、梨上的重要害虫,初孵幼虫在果面爬行片刻,即蛀入果内。幼虫能否入果,除受捕食性天敌和风雨等外界条件影响之外,与果实表皮组织有关系,蛀入果内幼虫的成活数量和生长情况亦受果肉组织及果实内含物的直接影响。因此,研究食料条件与桃小食心虫发生数量的关系,对提高该虫现有     

LYSINE METABOLISM IN THE RAT BRAIN: BLOOD—BRAIN BARRIER TRANSPORT, FORMATION OF PIPECOLIC ACID AND HUMAN HYPERPIPECOLATEMIA

Through the use of intravenous pulse injection of L-[U-¹⁴C] lysine, the blood-brain barrier transport of L-lysine was studied. The uptake of L-lysine plus metabolites in the brain remained essentially unchanged at approx 0.002–0.005 nmol/g in the low dose (3μg per kg body weight) injection, and 20–40 nmol/g in the high dose (30 mg/kg) injection throughout the time intervals of up to 60 min. The uptake of L-lysine plus metabolites in the heart, however, decreased substantially from 0.03 to 0.003 nmol/g in the low dose injection and from 320 to 62 nmol/g in the high dose injection. The plasma to heart uptake ratio only decreased slightly through the 60 min period: from 6 to 2 in either the low or high dose L-lysine injection. The plasma to brain uptake ratio, however, decreased rapidly from a high of 62 to a low of about 4 in either the low or high dose injection throughout the 60-min time course. Study of labeled L-pipecolate formation in the plasma and individual organs indicates that this compound was formed only in the brain to a significant level within 0.5 min of ¹⁴C-L-lysine intravenous pulse injection. Labeled pipecolate was recovered from heart, liver, kidney and plasma in significant quantities only at 2 min or later after pulse-injection. It is concluded that the blood-brain barrier of L-lysine in the rat is not particularly strong and that the rat brain may be primarily responsible for L-pipecolate synthesis from L-lysine. The possible etiology of human hyperpipecolatemia is also discussed in light of the current findings.     

日本松干蚧的重要天敌——隐斑瓢虫的初步研究

隐斑瓢虫是近年来在杭州地区发现的日本松干蚧的一种重要捕食性天敌。该虫在杭州一年发生四代,其年发生规律基本上和日本松干蚧的生活周期相吻合,而且能在松林中形成比较稳定的群落。根据测定,隐斑瓢虫对日本松干蚧各虫态的捕食能力较强,一头成虫的日平均捕食量为:显露若虫13.33头,雌成虫4.27头,卵囊3.67个(每个卵囊内平均有卵265.5粒),雄蛹28.27只;一头幼虫全期(或2—4龄和3—4龄)分别能捕食显露若虫39.20—105.56头,雌成虫40.80—47.79头,卵囊39.38—41.79个,雄蛹220.50只。它在引进辽宁省沈阳和旅大地区后,不仅仍能正常的捕食日本松干蚧(显露若虫),其成虫和幼虫喂以各种蚜虫均能正常生殖和发育,并且一年可以繁殖三代:冬季,只要在0℃以上的温度条件下,给予少量的糖水等作补充营养,亦能安全的越冬。据此,作者认为隐斑瓢虫在浙江杭州和辽宁,均具有作为控制日本松干蚧的发生来加以饲养繁殖与利用的价值。     

平均亮度对猫外膝体瞬变细胞和持续细胞时间调谐曲线的影响

用正弦波调制的光点刺激麻痹的清醒猫外膝体神经元感受野中心,当平均亮度改变时,瞬变细胞的时间频率调谐曲线的形状和敏感频率没有或很少变化,与此相应,这些细胞的自发发放也不随未调制的光照水平而改变。持续细胞的调谐曲线的调幅大体随对未调制光照的平均发放水平的升降而增大或减小,但敏感峰不变。衰减平均亮度1—2对数单位,可使多数呈双峰的调谐曲线的高调频峰消失,对产生此变化的原因,曾加以讨论。     

刺激家兔中脑导水管周围灰质抑制束旁核伤害性放电的脊髓上机制

本工作比较了家兔脊髓背侧1/2进行横切前后刺激中脑中央灰质对束旁核伤害性放电的抑制率的改变。实验表明中央灰质既可通过公认的脊髓下行纤维抑制脊髓水平的痛传递,减弱束旁核单位的痛敏放电,也可通过某种脊髓上机制实现对束旁核的抑制。我们对这两种机制的相对重要性作了分析。用直11个束旁核痛敏单位所作的计算表明,在脊髓切割前,刺激中央灰质可使束旁核痛敏放电抑制67.5%,脊髓背侧1/2横切后,同样的中脑刺激只能使痛敏放电抑制42.9%。如以切割前的抑制率作为直100%,则切割可使抑制减弱36.5%,这一部分抑制应当是由被切断的脊髓下行纤维实现的,其余63.5%则可能主要通过脊髓上机制来实现。考虑到脊髓背半部横切不可能全部切断下行纤维,故实际上脊髓上机制的重要性不会有上述数值表示的那么大。     

Morphological studies of Asian rice and its related wild species and the recognition of a new Australian taxon

In order to clarify the taxonomy and the interrelationships among Asiatic cultivated rice, Oryza sativa , and its related wild species ( O. rufipogon, O. nivara and O . barthii ), 41 morphological characters were examined. Numerical taxonomic methods were used to analyse the data and to illustrate species relationships.
Distinctive differences among the materials studied suggest the retention of O. rufipogoon, O. nivara and O . sativa as three distinct species. The origin of O. sativa from O. nivara through domestication is discussed. An annual wild taxon from Australia, which had been classified as a form of O. nivara , is shown to be distinct from typical O. nivnra and is raised to specific rank. This species has been named O. meridionalis Ng.
