ESR检测大鼠肺巨噬细胞释放的活性氧自由基

用ESR捕捉技术检测大鼠AM释放的活性氧自由基的性质表明:1.PMA和BCG均能刺激AM产生较强的OH·;能刺激人末稍血白细胞释放活性氧自由基的ConA和顺铂在本实验条件下未能使AM产生活性氧自由基信号。2.经膜活性剂PMA刺激的AM所释放活性氧自由基的高峰在刺激后2min,而经颗粒性物质BCG刺激,AM释放自由基的高峰时间明显后移。3.测试体系中的AM数过多或过少都不适合捕捉ESR信号。在本实验条件下,捕捉到最高自由基信号的AM终浓度为5×10⁷AM/ml。4.测试体系中存在DETAPAC或EDTA,可使捕捉到的自由基信号明显增强。     

吸烟对大鼠肺循环血流动力学及肺血管反应性的影响

本实验用大鼠29只,进行人工通气吸入烟气,初步探讨了吸烟对肺循环的影响。其中7只观察了吸烟对肺循环血流动力学的直接影响,结果表明,吸烟可致右心室收缩压、心输出量下降及心率减慢,肺循环阻力无明显改变。观察22只大鼠吸烟后缺氧所致肺循环血流动力学变化,结果表明,吸烟可使缺氧性肺血管反应降低,而且发生在肺循环血流动力学变化之前。     

红池坝地区草地红三叶草的空间分布型

植物种群的空间分布型是生物在特定的条件下形成的,它反映了植物种群个体的散布状态以及对环境的适应性和生境对植物影响的生态反映的生态学关系,是一条可以了解凭种类组成研究演替的研究途径 森下正明(Morisita,1959)提出了扩散指数Io(Morisita's index);美国的Lloyd,(1967)提出了平均拥挤度(Mean crowding,m)这个颇有兴趣     

温度对茶尺蠖核型多角体病毒增殖动态的影响

多角体计数、对流免疫电泳、单向免疫扩散及火箭免疫电泳测定的结果表明:26℃适于茶尺蠖核型多角体病毒(EoNPV)的增殖。多角体含量或其相对值随着时间的推移而增长,并渐趋于平稳,两者间呈Logistic曲线关系。单位体重或单头幼虫所含的多角体数量(y_1或y_2)、扩散环直径(y_3)和火箭峰值(y_4)与时间(t)的关系式分别为:y_1=(8.1481)/(1 EXP(9.4210-0.0608t))×10~9PIB/克;y_2=(6.1596)/(1 EXP(5.4809-0.0376t))×10~8PIB/头,y_3=(1.4)/(1 EXP(2.710-0.015t))cm;y_4=(3.52)/(1 EXP(4.580-0.040t))cm。但30℃下,EoNPV增殖严重受抑制,饲毒后24～168小时内难以测出多角体,其后多角体含量也极显著低于26℃,乃至难以被三种免疫测定法测出。     

天祝高寒珠芽蓼草甸群落的热值和营养成分的初步研究

 本文报告了甘肃天祝高寒珠芽蓼(Polygonum viviparum)草甸群落地上及地下四部分生物量的热值和营养成分动态,并对其放牧利用的价值进行了总的评价。 6—9月现存量的热值平均为18330焦／克干物质,或20279焦／克去灰分物质,较立枯物+凋落物、活根、死根的平均值为大;死根略大于活根。在珠芽蓼及其他大多数植物种子成熟期的8月下旬,现存量的热值最大,其他三部分的热值变化也有其各自的特点。现存量6—9月的平均营养成分以绝对干重计为：粗蛋白13.52%,粗脂肪2.25,粗纤维22.99,无氮浸出物51.88,粗灰分9.61(其中钙1.627,磷0.164);在时间变化上四部分各有其特点。根据地形、植物组成、产量、易食性、适口性、热值和营养成分等综合条件,认为珠芽蓼草甸是良好的放牧地。     

Physiological studies and determination of chromosome number in Maca,Lepidium Meyenii (Brassicaceae)

Experiments based on four accessions of maca (Lepdium meyenii) disclosed higher developmental rates in plants grown in neutral pH (6.6) soil when compared with those grown in acidic soil (5.3). Photoperiod response studies revealed similar growth rate for plants grown under either long day or short day condition. Plants in the field and growth chambers completed their life cycle in 11 months or less, therefore maca can be considered an annual crop. These results suggest that the range of adaptation of maca is not as narrow as previously believed, and therefore it can be successfully produced outside its natural habitat. Chromosome counts and predominance of bivalents in diakinesis and metaphase I disclosed that maca is a disomic octoploid of 2n=8x=64 chromosomes. Field and growth chamber observations and morphological uniformity of the plants within accessions indicate that maca relies mainly on self-fertilization for its reproduction.     

Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) Genotypes and CNTF Contents in Human Sciatic Nerves as Measured by a Sensitive Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay

Abstract: To study the level of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) in human nervous tissues, we developed a sensitive enzyme-linked immunoassay using a specific antibody against human CNTF. This method allowed us to detect as little as 0.3 ng/ml of human CNTF with good linearity and accuracy. Using this method, CNTF levels were determined in human sciatic nerves obtained at autopsy from 21 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and 48 subjects who had died of other neurological diseases. CNTF genotypes were also determined. The results indicated that CNTF levels were high in the normal homozygotes and approximately halved in the heterozygote subjects. There was, however, no significant difference in CNTF levels in the sciatic nerves between ALS and other neurological disease patients, indicating that the CNTF level was mainly determined by its genotypes and that the level in the sciatic nerves was not reduced in ALS patients.     

川百合花粉管的生殖细胞分裂过程中微管骨架的分布变化

应用透射电镜辅以免疫荧光定位技术研究了川百合 (Lilium davidii Duch.)花粉管中生殖细胞分裂过程中染色体动态和微管分布的关系。在生殖细胞分裂前和有丝分裂前期 ,电镜观察一直未见微管结构 ,但免疫荧光图象显示生殖细胞中有微管蛋白存在。直到分裂的前中期—中期 ,染色体出现 ,它们沿花粉管的长轴前后排列 ,横向的着丝点对相应地一对对地纵向排列。这时 ,生殖细胞中才出现大量微管 ,它们分布于细胞周质区和染色体之间 ,并跨越染色体的整个长度。前中期—中期开始时 ,只有 1～ 2对着丝点从横向转为纵向 ,微管垂直插入着丝点形成着丝点微管 ,而非前人用免疫荧光方法观察到的微管与着丝点侧向联接的图象。随着横向的着丝点对逐渐转变成纵向的过程 ,着丝点微管数量逐渐增多 ,但不形成典型的纺锤体。分裂后期 ,染色体交错分离 ,微管的分布与前中期—中期的基本相同。晚后期 ,染色体呈明显的两群 ,除极区和细胞中央区有微管残余外 ,大部分微管消失。通过染色体长度的测量 ,间接证明了分裂后期 B的存在。分裂末期的晚期 ,核膜形成后 ,在两精核之间的区域 ,微管数量开始增多。此区可能代表用免疫荧光所观察到的微管重叠区。细胞板出现后 ,微管消失
