绿尾虹雉生态学研究

绿尾虹雉Lophophorus lhuysti生态和生物学研究是中国科学院重点科研课题——“中国珍稀濒危难类生态生物学”——部分工作。 本文为作者对绿尾虹雉所作的生态和生物学系统研究首次报道。绿尾虹雉主要牺息于海拔3,500—4,000米亚高山灌丛和草甸。杂食性鸟类,以植物性食物为主,亦食昆虫。营巢于岩洞或灌丛地面上,每窝产3—4,多达11枚卵。种群密度1.32—1.58只/km~2。目前数量急剧下降,处于濒危,急待保护。     

血友病患者血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒抗体检测

对浙江省1982～1984年注射了美国产浓缩Ⅶ因子制剂的18例血友病患者,用酶联免疫吸附法(ELTSA)检测了血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒(LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ)抗体,发现4例阳性,并经免疫荧光试验和Western印迹法证实。2例应用了国产浓缩Ⅷ因子者抗体阴性。一例从美国来华旅游死于艾滋病者,LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ抗体阳性。本研究证明,LAV/HTLVⅢ病毒巳通过美国生产的Ⅷ因子制剂传入中国。     

百日咳杆菌去内毒素及保护性抗原的纯化

内毒素(Endotoxin,简称ET)是百日咳全菌苗(Bordetellapertussis vaccine)产生副作用的主要毒素之一,且不易除去。现有的分离方法,如蔗糖密度梯度离心法,较繁琐,成本高。本文采用Sepha-cryl S-300凝胶层折法可以简便有效的去除大部分内毒素。初步毒素试验结果表明:已达到日本生物制品规格的要求。两种保护性抗原FHA和LPF-HA也得到进一步分离纯化,为今后研制高效的百日咳组分菌苗提供了实验条件。     

促生长素抑制素样免疫反应在大白鼠弓状核和正中隆起的超微结构分布

本文用免疫电镜方法证明:促生长素抑制素样免疫反应神经末梢分布于弓状棱并与未标记的树突形成轴树突触。在正中隆起的纤维层和栅状层内均可见上述免疫反应末梢,大多数紧贴门脉毛细血管基底膜周围甚至穿入基底膜内。免疫反应末梢尚可与未标记的末梢形成轴轴突触样结构。     

利血平和丘脑下部促黄体素释放激素类似物(LHRH-A)对大鳞副泥鳅促性腺激素细胞的分泌活动和排卵的促进作用

利血平能使神经分泌细胞的儿茶酚胺贮存量减少甚至消耗殆尽,导致多巴胺作为GRIF的作用减弱,从而显著增强LHRH-A促进GtH分泌和诱导排卵的效应。对大鳞副泥鳅,利血平和LHRH-A同时注射或者利血平比LHRH-A提前3小时注射,都能激活GtH细胞,显著增强其分泌活动并诱导排卵。利血平的最低有效剂量为1—5微克/克体重。利血平(25微克/克体重) LHRH-A(0.05微克/克体重)的催产效果和多巴胺拮抗物pimozide(1微克/克体重) LHRH-A(0.05微克/克体重)的催产效果一样,排卵率都达到了100％。     

Dual action of respiratory inhibitors: inhibition of germination and prevention of dormancy induction in lettuce seeds

`Grand Rapids' lettuce Lactuca sativa L. seeds germinate readily at 15°C but poorly at 25°C in darkness. When held in dark at 25°C for an extended period, the ungerminated seeds become dormant as shown by their inability to germinate or transfer to 15°C in darkness. Induction of dormancy at 25°C was prevented by exposure to CN<sup>−</sup>, azide, salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), dinitrophenol, and pure N<sub>2</sub> as determined by subsequent germination at 15°C on removal of inhibitors. The effectiveness of inhibitors to break dormancy declined as dormancy intensified. At relatively low levels, CN<sup>−</sup>, SHAM, and azide promoted dark germination at 25°C while at high levels they were inhibitory. Uptake of O<sub>2</sub> by seeds held at 25°C for 4 days in 1.0 millimolar KCN was inhibited by 67% but was promoted 61% when KCN was removed. Correspondingly greater inhibition (79%) and promotion (148%) occurred when 1.0 millimolar SHAM was added to KCN solution. When applied alone, SHAM had little effect on O<sub>2</sub> uptake. These data indicate that Cyt pathway of respiration plays a dominant role in the control of both dormancy induction and germination of lettuce seeds, and `alternative pathway' is effectively engaged in presence of CN⁻. The channeling of respiratory energy use for processes governing germination or dormancy is subject to control by physical and chemical factors.

A scheme is proposed that illustrates compensatory use of energy for processes controlling dormancy induction and germination. A block of germination, e.g. by low water potential polyethylene glycol solution or a supraoptimal temperature spares energy to be utilized for dormancy induction while a block of dormancy induction by low levels of CN⁻ (similar to GA and light effects) drives germination. Blocking both processes by inhibitors (e.g. CN⁻, CN⁻ + SHAM) presumably leads to accumulation of `reducing power' with consequent improvement in O₂ uptake and oxidation rates of processes controlling germination or dormancy induction upon removal of the inhibitors.

     

兔边缘系统隔区呼吸相关神经元

本实验在42只家兔给与 Urethane 半量麻醉,在边缘系统隔区用玻璃微电极方法记录了60个自发的呼吸相关神经元单位放电:吸气型30个单位;呼气型16个单位;跨时相型14个单位。断双侧迷走神经,静脉注入尼克刹米后,呼吸相关神经元单位放电与呼吸节律变化具有伴随性,呈正相关。窒息可以诱发隔区神经元呼吸节律放电。延髓第四脑室局部注入2%Sod。pentothal 后,随呼吸节律抑制、隔区呼吸相关神经元单位放电立即消失。上述结果提示:到达边缘系统隔区的呼吸信息在自主功能及情绪活动的协调方面,可能被认为是有意义的。     

电针和吗啡对伤害性刺激猫内脏大神经引起的海马诱发电位的影响

在氯醛糖麻醉并箭毒化的50只猫中,观察了强电流刺激内脏大神经时的背侧海马诱发电位(Hippocampal evoked potential,HEP)以及电针和吗啡对其影响。结果显示,用20V电压刺激内脏大神经可以兴奋包括 Aδ和 C 纤维在内的几乎全部纤维,并且可以在海马内记录到波形稳定的 HEP。以负波为主的 HEP 在海马锥体细胞层附近以及下脚复合体的表浅层记录到,以正波为主的 HEP 在海马锥体细胞顶树突的中下部记录明显。只有刺激强度达到兴奋内脏大神经的 Aδ纤维时才可记录出 HEP。吗啡对 HEP 有显著的抑制作用。电针也可以明显抑制 HEP 的振幅,并有后作用。上述结果提示,内脏大神经中的感觉纤维,包括痛纤维的冲动可以传至海马。     

大鼠中脑导水管壁及周围灰质在针刺镇痛时的~3H-5-羟色胺含量变化

本研究用~3H-5-羟色胺作示踪,由大鼠侧脑室注入后用冰冻微观放射自显影和组织固定微观放射自显影平行探讨了针刺镇痛时中脑导水管壁及周围灰质部位5-羟色胺的含量定位变化。研究结果发现,当电针达到镇痛时,在中脑导水管壁及周围灰质部位~3H-5-羟色胺的放射自显影象都呈明显增高,这表明在针刺镇痛条件下,~3H-5-羟色胺可迅速被中脑导水管壁及周围灰质部位摄取和储存,从而提示上述部位与针刺镇痛作用有密切关系。     

叶潜蛾科一个新种——黄皮叶潜蛾(鳞翅目:叶潜蛾科)

叶潜蛾属Phyllocnistis Zeller已从细蛾科Gracillariidae分立出来,另独立成为叶潜蛾科Phyllocnistidae(Kloct and Hincks,1972)。根据Imms(1977)记载,该科在全世界约有50多种。我们最近查阅文献,该科已有80多种。但本科在我国记载的种类仅有柑桔叶潜蛾Phyllocnistis cilrella Stainton及杨银叶潜蛾Phyllocnistis saligna Zeller。它们的食
