不同性别黄鳝六种组织中LDH同工酶电泳谱的初步研究

本文报告了运用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶圆盘电泳研究不同性别黄鳝的血清、心肌、骨骼肌、肝、肾和生殖腺等六种组织器官中ＬＤＨ同工酶。结果表明六种不同组织中ＬＤＨ同工酶谱各不相同,具有明显的组织特异性。在不同性别中某些同一种组织的ＬＤＨ同工酶谱也发生变化,这说明决定黄鳝ＬＤＨ同工酶表达的因素在不同性别中有差异。     

天然杀伤细胞在受照射小鼠中的造血调控作用

研究了天然杀伤（ＮＫ）细胞对受致死剂量γ线照射的同系小鼠的造血调控作用。ＡＭＳ／５小鼠经９Ｇｙγ线全身照射后立即经尾静脉注射ＮＫ细胞（５×１０５）,可明显提高受照小鼠３０ｄ活存率,照后８ｄ小鼠骨髓中ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ数量明显高于对照和脾细胞注射组,照射后３０ｄ,ＮＫ细胞注射组活存小鼠的骨髓有核细胞数和ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ数已恢复到正常的７６％─９６％。病理组织学观察显示,输注ＮＫ细胞可使小鼠骨髓、脾脏的组织损伤程度减轻,造血功能增强,表现为造血灶数增多,造血细胞功能活跃,核分裂相增多,且涉及红系、粒系、巨核细胞系造血。ＮＫ细胞可能通过直接与造血干细胞相互作用或改善造血微环境等促进“内源性”造血功能,从而发挥对造血的正调控作用。提示ＮＫ细胞在小鼠造血功能的平衡维持中起重要作用。     

丙型肝炎病毒RNA打点杂交检测方法同RT－PCR方法的比较

采用ＨＣＶ基因组结构区Ｃ区ｃＤＮＡ探针和非结构区ＮＳ３－４区ｃＤＮＡ探针,建立了用打点杂交（ｄｏｔｂｌｏｔｈｙｂｒｉｄｉｚａｔｉｏｎ）检测血清中ＨＣＶＲＮＡ的方法,同采用ＨＣＶ基因组５’端非编码区的一对寡核苷酸引物通过逆转录－聚合酶链式反应（ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ）检测血清中ＨＣＶＲＮＡ的方法相比较,发现两种方法都能快速早期和特异地检出血清中ＨＣＶＲＮＡ,但ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ法敏感性优于ＲＮＡ打点杂交法。对于无血清学指标的慢性ＮＡＮＢ肝炎病人的诊断,可采用这两种方法。这两种方法的敏感性在很大程度上依赖于引物和探针的敏感性,以及ＲＮＡ提取方法。ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ法适用于诊断病毒血症和复制,打点杂交法适用于研究ＨＣＶＲＮＡ量的变化,对治疗的评价,以及为实验筛选较高滴度的ＨＣＶＲＮＡ阳性样本。     

藻－菌生态系统代谢功能的生态学研究

在室内模拟条件下,研究了一些生态因子对藻－菌（Ａ＋Ｂ）生态系统代谢有机碳（Ｃ６Ｈ１２Ｏ６）、ＮＨ３－Ｎ和无机磷（ＩＰ）的影响．研究结果表明,当藻－菌生态系统中藻（Ａ）或菌（Ｂ）的起始数量一定时,其代谢Ｃ６Ｈ１２Ｏ６的速率,随与之组合的Ｂ或Ａ的起始数量增加（数量比则相应降低）而增加．在光照和黑暗条件下,Ａ＋Ｂ系统代谢上述３种营养物质的速率均有一定的差异．黑暗下Ｃ６Ｈ１２Ｏ６的平均代谢速率较光照下高１２．３％（Ｐ＜０．０５）,ＩＰ和ＮＨ３－Ｎ的平均代谢速率则分别较光照下低１４．４％（Ｐ＜０．０５）和１６．２％（Ｐ＜０．００１）．在Ａ＋Ｂ系统和Ａ、Ｂ单培养物中,３种营养物质的代谢速率均随有机负荷量增加而增加,而且Ａ＋Ｂ系统的代谢速率分别高于单培养的Ａ和Ｂ,其中ＮＨ３－Ｎ代谢尤为显著．文章还就生态系统结构与功能的关系问题进行了讨论．     

利用马尾松年轮资料重建江苏暖湿地区气候的初步研究

利用树木年轮气候学方法,根据马尾松生长对气候变量具非线性响应,尝试重建江苏暖湿地区过去１１６年（１８７４～１９９０）的年平均气温和降水量。温度的重建效果优于降水量,实测值与重建值两者的缩减误差（ＲＥ）分别为０．１２和０．１０,两者的平均偏差百分率分别为２．３％和２０％。绝大部分重建结果可从观测记录和历史文献中得到验证,但在温度较高或降水量较多的若干年份,实测值与重建值有较大偏差。     

Cumulus cells secrete a meiosi-inducing substance by stimulation with forskolin and dibutyric cyclic adenosine monophosphate

The role of the cumulus cells in initiating the resumption of meiosis after exposure to forskolin and dbcAMP was studied in the mouse. The resumption of meiosis was monitored by the percentage of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and polar body formation (PB). The cumulus-enclosed oocytes (CEO) and denuded oocytes (DO) were cultured with and without hypoxanthine (HX) in the culture medium. Three types of experiments were performed: (1) Effect of forskolin on spontaneous resumption of meiosis, i.e. cultures without HX, and two experiments in which HX is present throughout the culture: (2) Effect of transient exposure to forskolin or dibutyric-cyclic adenosinemonophosphate (dbcAMP) on GVBD prior to continued culture without forskolin or dbcAMP (oocyte priming). (3) Priming of CEO with forskolin for 2 hr, separation of cumulus cells and oocytes, followed by coculture of rejoined cumulus cells and oocytes, or coculture of the cumulus cells and new, unprimed DO. (1) Forskolin inhibited a spontaneous resumption of meiosis in a dose-dependent manner during the first 5 hr of culturing. After 22 hr all controls and CEO resumed meiosis, whereas only half of the DO did. (2) At least 1 hr of priming the CEO with forskolin is needed to induce GVBD and PB formation, but forskolin inhibited the resumption of meiosis when present for 24 hr. Similar results were obtained with a high concentration of dbcAMP. (3) A separation and rejoining of oocytes and cumulus cells after priming induced the resumption of meiosis in a significantly greater number of oocytes than in the control oocytes which were not primed. The GVBD of unstimulated DO also increased significantly when cocultured with cumulus cells from primed CEO. The percentage of GVBD in unprimed DO and in DO isolated from primed CEO was the same. We suggest that within 1–2 hr, forskolin and cAMP stimulate cumulus cells to produce a diffusible meiosis-inducing substance which overcomes HX-inhibition and induces oocyte maturation, including both GVBD and PB formation. The CEO must be primed for more than 2 hr before the resumption of meiosis in DO isolated from such CEO is induced. Oocyte-cumulus connections are crucial as far as initiating the production of a meiosis-inducing substance is concerned. Oocyte-cumulus connections are not needed for transferring this substance to the oocyte. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Kinetics of specific and nonspecific adhesion of red blood cells on glass.

Fixed spherical human red blood cells suspended in 17% sucrose were allowed to adhere on either clean glass surfaces or glass surfaces preincubated with antibodies specific to a certain blood group antigen. The adhesion experiments were performed in an impinging jet apparatus, in which the cells are subjected to stagnation point flow. The objective of this study was to compare the efficiencies of nonspecific and specific (antigen-antibody mediated) adhesion of red blood cells on glass surfaces. The efficiency was defined as the ratio of the experimental adhesion rate to that calculated based on numerical solutions of the mass transfer equation, taking into account hydrodynamic interactions as well as colloidal forces. The efficiency for nonspecific adhesion was nearly unity at flow rates lower than 85 microliter/s (corresponding to a wall shear rate, Gw, of 30 s-1 at a radial distance of 110 microns from the stagnation point). The values of efficiency dropped at higher flow rates, due to an increase in the tangential force. The critical deposition concentration is found to occur at 120-150 mM NaCl, which is consistent with the theoretically predicted values. At low salt concentrations, the experimental values are higher than the theoretical ones. Similar discrepancies have been found in many colloidal systems. Introducing steric repulsion by adsorbing a layer of albumin molecules on the glass completely prevents nonspecific adhesion at flow rates below 60 microliter/s (Gw congruent to 15 s-1). The efficiency of specific adhesion depends both on the concentration of antibody molecules on the surface and the flow rate. Normal red cells adhere more readily through antigen-antibody bonds than fixed cells. Fixed spherical cells have a higher adhesion efficiency than fixed biconcave ones.
