自由林网对农田地形的影响

我国东北、华北和西北等风沙危害严重地区,长期以来,农民群众以防止风沙的机械作用为目的,自发地营造了许多不规整的小林网,这种小林网就是所谓的自由林网。一般是由2—3行树木构成的窄林带,带间距离多在100米以内。选用的树种以早柳为主,间或也有杨树、榆树或其它的阔叶树种,由于自由林网能够较为迅速地起到保护农田,提高产量的实际     

稻瘟病菌株的DNA指纹分析及小种鉴别

基于对稻瘟病菌(Pyricularia oryzae)基因文库的分析,我们找到了一套含重复顺序的克隆。其中POR6和POR7被证实具有高度的多态性并随机散布于稻瘟病菌生理小种的致病性时,可以获得可分辨的基因组特异的杂交带型。我们还分析了致病性与8个稻瘟病菌株DNA指纹图谱之间的关系,结果表明各个小种组合间的百分相似率S_xy,值与该小种组合间共同侵染的鉴别品种数目有正相关性。     

Cell sheet technology: a promising strategy in regenerative medicine

Regenerative medicine is a burgeoning field that is important to combat challenging diseases and functional impairments. Compared with traditional cell therapies with evident shortcomings (e.g., cell suspension injection or tissue engineering with scaffolds), scaffold-free cell sheet technology enables transplanted cells to be grafted and fully maintain their viability on target sites. Clinical and experimental studies have advanced the application of cell sheet technology to numerous tissues and organs (e.g., liver, cornea and bone). However, previous reviews have failed to discuss vital aspects of this rapidly developing technology, and many new challenges are gradually emerging. This review aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to cell sheet technology from cell selection to the ultimate applications of cell sheets, and challenges and future visions are also described.     

外源物质对灵芝多糖和β-葡聚糖发酵的影响

研究了14种外源物质（化合物）对灵芝细胞生长和发酵合成多糖和β-葡聚糖的影响。结果表明,连翘水提物（3g/L）对灵芝细胞生长具有显著促进作用;薏苡仁酯（3g/L）对灵芝胞内多糖和β-葡聚糖的合成均具有促进作用;而桔梗水提物、硝酸铈铵、硝酸镨、茉莉酸甲酯和硝普钠对灵芝细胞生长和产物合成均具有抑制作用。进一步通过Box-Behnken试验设计和响应面法分析,建立了添加薏苡仁酯发酵产β-葡聚糖的二次多项式模型,经分析得到产β-葡聚糖的最优条件为：薏苡仁酯添加量10.5g/L、接种量16%、添加时间第88小时、发酵初始pH 7.00。在此条件下获得β-葡聚糖的产量可达(40.67±8.43)mg/L,与未添加薏苡仁酯的对照组相比,提高了41.86%;多糖产量为(0.99±0.21)g/L,与对照组相比,提高了31.99%。结果提示所得添加薏苡仁酯的优化条件可定向诱导灵芝β-葡聚糖的合成,同时也表明在灵芝液体发酵体系中添加薏苡仁酯发酵产多糖和β-葡聚糖具有一定的实用价值。     

A novel lncRNA PLK4 up‐regulated by talazoparib represses hepatocellular carcinoma progression by promoting YAP‐mediated cell senescence

A growing number of studies recognize that long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential to mediate multiple tumorigenic processes, including hepatic tumorigenesis. However, the pathological mechanism of lncRNA‐regulated liver cancer cell growth remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified a novel function lncRNA, named polo‐like kinase 4 associated lncRNA (lncRNA PLK4, GenBank Accession No. RP11‐50D9.3), whose expression was dramatically down‐regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cells. Interestingly, talazoparib, a novel and highly potent poly‐ADP‐ribose polymerase 1/2 (PARP1/2) inhibitor, could increase lncRNA PLK4 expression in HepG2 cells. Importantly, we showed that talazoparib‐induced lncRNA PLK4 could function as a tumour suppressor gene by Yes‐associated protein (YAP) inactivation and induction of cellular senescence to inhibit liver cancer cell viability and growth. In summary, our findings reveal the molecular mechanism of talazoparib‐induced anti‐tumor effect, and suggest a potential clinical use of talazoparib‐targeted lncRNA PLK4/YAP‐dependent cellular senescence for the treatment of HCC.     

Barrier Designs in Perovskite Solar Cells for Long‐Term Stability

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention in the past decade and their power conversion efficiency has been rapidly increasing to 25.2%, which is comparable with commercialized solar cells. Currently, the long‐term stability of PSCs remains as a major bottleneck impeding their future commercial applications. Beyond strengthening the perovskite layer itself and developing robust external device encapsulation/packaging technology, integration of effective barriers into PSCs has been recognized to be of equal importance to improve the whole device’s long‐term stability. These barriers can not only shield the critical perovskite layer and other functional layers from external detrimental factors such as heat, light, and H₂O/O₂, but also prevent the undesired ion/molecular diffusion/volatilization from perovskite. In addition, some delicate barrier designs can simultaneously improve the efficiency and stability. In this review article, the research progress on barrier designs in PSCs for improving their long‐term stability is reviewed in terms of the barrier functions, locations in PSCs, and material characteristics. Regarding specific barriers, their preparation methods, chemical/photoelectronic/mechanical properties, and their role in device stability, are further discussed. On the basis of these accumulative efforts, predictions for the further development of effective barriers in PSCs are provided at the end of this review.

沉积物记录揭示的深圳湾红树林生态系统稳态转变

稳态转换作为滨海生态系统的一种灾变现象,其过程伴随着生态系统质量下降和功能退化。深圳湾位于粤港澳大湾区的核心区域,深入理解其生态系统演化过程是进行适应性管理的重要前提。2014年于深圳湾福田红树林湿地获得4根岩芯沉积柱,通过分析沉积和生物地球化学指标（包括金属元素、营养盐、粒度和有机质指标）,重建半个世纪以来深圳湾环境的历史变迁,揭示其生态系统发生的稳态转变过程。结果表明：稳态转换发生前（1954-1980）,福田红树林沉积物中重金属、无机营养和有机物含量稳定增加,但处于较低水平;稳态转换发生后（1990-2014）,深圳湾中污染输入增加,沉积物中重金属和营养盐含量发生明显变化,深圳湾生态系统质量持续下降。通过揭示深圳湾生态系统演变过程及其稳态转变的发生规律,为粤港澳大湾区生态系统修复和管理提供重要的理论依据和参考。
