丝孢酵母高甲硫氨酸突变株的选育及营养调控

以丝孢酵母(Trichosporon Behr)ST851为原始菌株,经紫外线诱变,在含乙硫氨酸的双层平板上筛选到多株抗乙硫氨酸突变株。其中ST851-10株抗乙硫氨酸浓度达到350μg/ml,其菌体蛋白质含量由40.5％提高到44.3％,菌体甲硫氨酸含量由20.45mg/g-DCW增加到29.32mg/g-DCW。在以苹果渣为碳源、尿素为氮源、硫酸镁作硫源的最适培养条件下,固态发酵24h后,蛋白质和甲硫氨酸含量较原始菌株分别提高了15.8％和44.9％。培养基中C/N值低有利于甲硫氨酸的合成,C/N值高则适合于菌体生长。在苹果渣固态发酵过程中,适当补加氮源既有利于菌体生长和甲硫氨酸的合成,又可起到调节培养基pH值的作用。

Effect of physostigmine on relative acetylcholine output induced by systemic treatment with scopolamine in in vivo microdialysis of rat frontal cortex

By means of an in vivo brain microdialysis, the effect of different concentrations of physostigmine on the acetylcholine level in the dialysate of rat frontal cortex was studied. Perfusion of the various degrees of physostigmine (eserine) concentration (10 nM−10 μM) into the cortex through the dialysis membrane increased the basal acetylcholine level in a dose-dependent manner. In the presence of 10 nM, 0.1 μM and 10 μM physostigmine in the perfusate, systemic treatment with scopolamine (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) increased 200, 270 and 510%, respectively, the relative acetylcholine level in the dialysates in comparison with the corresponding basal levels, while in the absence of physostigmine the treatment increased it only 40%. From these results, it appears that perfusion of physostigmine at a variety of concentrations, changes not only the basal level of acetylcholine induced by the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase but also the relative acetylcholine output induced by systemic treatment with scopolamine.

Chronic Nicotine Administration Differentially Affects Neurotransmitter Release from Rat Striatal Slices

Abstract: The objective of these experiments was to determine whether the chronic administration of nicotine, at a dose regimen that increases the density of nicotine binding sites, alters the nicotine-induced release of [³H]dopamine ([³H]DA), [³H]norepinephrine ([³H]NE), [³H]serotonin ([³H]5-HT), or [³H]acetylcholine ([³H]ACh) from rat striatal slices. For these experiments, rats received subcutaneous injections of either saline or nicotine bitartrate [1.76 mg (3.6 µmol)/kg, dissolved in saline] twice daily for 10 days, and neurotransmitter release was measured following preloading of the tissues with [³H]DA, [³H]NE, [³H]5-HT, or [³H]choline. Chronic nicotine administration did not affect the accumulation of tritium by striatal slices, the basal release of radioactivity, or the 25 mM KCl-evoked release of neurotransmitter. Superfusion of striatal slices with 1, 10, and 100 µM nicotine increased [³H]DA release in a concentration-dependent manner, and release from slices from nicotine-injected animals was significantly (p < 0.05) greater than release from saline-injected controls; release from the former increased to 132, 191, and 172% of release from the controls following superfusion with 1, 10, and 100 µM nicotine, respectively. Similarly, [³H]5-HT release increased in a concentration-related manner following superfusion with nicotine, and release from slices from nicotine-injected rats was significantly (p < 0.05) greater than that from controls. [³H]5-HT release from slices from nicotine-injected rats evoked by superfusion with 1 and 10 µM nicotine increased to 453 and 217%, respectively, of release from slices from saline-injected animals. The nicotine-induced release of [³H]NE from striatal slices was also concentration dependent but was unaffected by chronic nicotine administration. [³H]ACh release from striatal slices could not be detected when samples were superfused with nicotine but was measurable when tissues were incubated with nicotine. The release of [³H]ACh from slices from nicotine-injected rats was significantly (p < 0.05) less than release from controls and decreased to 36, 83, and 77% of control values following incubation with 1, 10, or 100 µM nicotine, respectively. This decreased [³H]ACh release could not be attributed to methodological differences because slices from nicotine-injected rats incubated with nicotine exhibited an increased [³H]DA release, similar to results from superfusion studies. In addition, it is unlikely that the decreased release of [³H]ACh from striatal slices from nicotine-injected rats was secondary to increased DA release because [³H]ACh release from slices from hippocampus, which is not tonically inhibited by DA, also decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in response to nicotine; hippocampal slices from nicotine-injected rats incubated with 1 and 10 µM nicotine decreased to 42 and 70%, respectively, of release from slices from saline-injected animals. Results indicate that the chronic administration of nicotine increases the ability of nicotine to induce the release of [³H]DA and [³H]5-HT and decreases the ability of nicotine to evoke the release of [³H]ACh but does not alter the nicotine-induced release of [³H]NE from brain slices.

高铁离子自由基与亚油酸反应的初步研究

利用停留仪快速反应动力学方法和自旋捕集ＥＳＲ技术监测高铁离子自由基和自旋捕捉剂ＰＯＢＮ的反应,发现高铁离子自由基本身不被自旋捕捉剂ＰＯＢＮ捕捉,但是ＰＯＢＮ可以捕捉到停流仪第三相中的ＯＨ,可能来自剩余的Ｆｅｎｔｏｎ试剂或高铁离子自由基的衰变。以含两个双键的不饱和脂肪酸－亚油酸（ＬＨ）作为模型化合物,测定高铁离子自由基与亚油酸分子的反应速率。ＥＳＲ结果表明,高铁离子自由基可能在一定程度上启动了亚油酸体系的脂质过氧化。
