Flagellar Sensilla of Sphecodes Bees (Hymenoptera, Halictidae)

The antenna of Sphecodes bees were investigated as regards the type and distribution of the sensilla. Eleven species originating from Sweden were used. Totally 325 specimens were studied. The distribution of sensilla placodea and sensilla trichodea on the antennal segments were studied in the light stereomicroscope. One to three antennae per species were also examined by SEM. The following types of sensilla were found: s. placodea; pit organs; s. campaniformia; s. basiconica; s. trichodea A, B and CD; and setae. The distribution of sensilla, especially s. placodea and s. trichodea A, was found to be species-specific in the male sex and their diagnostic value in taxonomy is stressed. In the female sex no specific characteristics were found, although two groups could be distinguished.     

县域生态资产核算研究——以云南省屏边县为例

生态资产(Eco-Assets)是生产与提供生态产品和服务的自然资源。以国家重点生态功能区县——屏边苗族自治县为例,研究了县域生态资产核算的指标和方法,以生态资产综合指数、负债表和损益表,开展屏边县生态资产实物量核算,以期能够切实反映出生态系统实物量的变化和生态补偿成效,结合生态补偿分析屏边县生态资产变化的原因和趋势,给生态补偿政策和离任干部审计提供技术支撑。结果表明:(1)屏边县生态资产核算可以分为森林、灌丛、草地、湿地自然生态系统和农田、城镇和荒漠人工生态系统实物量的核算。(2)2015年,屏边县生态资产指数为1.09,森林和灌丛占据主要位置,二者总和占当年生态资产的95.48%。15年来,屏边县生态资产综合指数降低了16.48%,其中森林和草地降低明显,分别减少了20.10%和6.67%,湿地指数增长了57.11%。(3)2000年以来,生态保护工程和城镇扩张是生态资产变化的主要原因,生态补偿投入持续增加为生态保护工程顺利建设实施提供了保障。本研究表明,现有的土地利用数据和生态环境监测数据基本可以支撑县域生态资产的核算,同时县域生态资产的变化能够体现出生态保护工程实行成效,并为实行领导干部自然资源资产离任审计提供重要依据,为生态补偿政策提供科学支撑。     

慢性丙型肝炎患者中丙型肝炎病毒准种变异研究进展

丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）具有较高的变异性,通常以准种的形式分布在感染者的体内,病毒容易逃离机体的免疫监控,因而无法被有效地清除,导致机体很难控制其感染的发展,故易转变成慢性肝炎。HCV准种变异在宿主体内的持续存在对病毒感染的控制、抗病毒药物和疫苗的发展都是一个巨大的挑战。,我们重点阐述近年来关于HCV准种变异及其与慢性丙型肝炎患者的机体免疫、疾病进展、治疗效果之间关系的研究进展。     

Kiss-1 及MVD 在非小细胞肺癌中检测的临床意义及其相关性研究

目的:测定NSCLC组织中kiss-1基因表达、MVD分布,探讨其临床意义及其相关性.方法:应用免疫组化SP法检测56例NSCLC组织中Kiss-1表达及MVD分布情况,分析其与NSCLC的临床病理参数的关系及其相关性.结果:Kiss-1在NSCLC表达低于对照组(P＜0.05),MVD在NSCLC分布明显高于对照组(P＜0.05).Kiss-1与NSCLC的临床分期、淋巴结转移、肿瘤大小有关(P＜0.05).MVD与NSCLC分化程度、临床分期及淋巴结转移、肿瘤大小有关(P＜0.05).Kiss-1阳性组MVD分布明显低于Kiss-1阴性表达组,二者呈负相关(P＜0.05,r=-0.363).结论:Kiss-1及MVD在非小细胞肺癌发生、发展中发挥重要作用,二者存在相关性,联合检测可帮助预测NSCLC的侵袭、转移,判断预后.     

化学合成siRNA抑制H5N1亚型禽流感病毒在鸡胚成纤维细胞中的增殖

为研究RNA干涉对H5N1亚型禽流感病毒的增殖抑制作用,针对H5N1亚型禽流感病毒的NP和PA基因,设计4对siRNA干涉序列,并将其转染到鸡胚成纤维细胞,6h后接种H5N1亚型禽流感病毒液,在病毒感染后的16～56h内测定细胞上清中的病毒血凝价及观察细胞病变,并在病毒感染36h后检测NP、PA、HA和β-actin基因的mRNA水平。结果显示4对siRNA均能不同程度地抑制H5N1亚型禽流感病毒在鸡胚成纤维细胞中的增殖,但以PA为靶基因设计的一对干涉序列效果最优;实验还证实随着时间的延长,干涉效应逐渐减弱。本实验为研究RNA干涉技术防控禽流感提供了依据。     

黄芪多糖对大鼠口腔溃疡治疗作用研究

本研究旨在探讨黄芪多糖对患有口腔溃疡大鼠(recurrent aphthous ulcer,RAU)的表皮细胞生长因子(epidermal growth factor,EGF)水平及T淋巴细胞亚群的影响。根据溃疡面的直径计算愈合率及HE染色观察溃疡组织病理学改变,酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)测定EGF的水平,流式细胞仪检测大鼠外周血CD4+T细胞、CD8+T细胞亚群的百分率。实验结果显示治疗20 d后,黄芪多糖组大鼠溃疡面积减小,愈合率为87.5%～100%。与正常对照组相比,模型对照组大鼠CD4+T细胞数减少、CD8+T细胞数升高,CD4+/CD8+比值降低(P<0.05)。与模型对照组相比,黄芪多糖组大鼠外周血CD4+T细胞数升高、CD8+T细胞数降低,CD4+/CD8+比值回升(P<0.05)。EGF水平在造模后出现明显下降,黄芪多糖灌胃治疗后有升高。提示黄芪多糖能够提高RAU实验性大鼠EGF的水平和改善T细胞亚群的失衡状态,具有明显地促进口腔溃疡愈合的作用。     

Stem tissue mass density is linked to growth and resistance to a stem‐boring insect in Alternanthera philoxeroides

To investigate how stem anatomical structure is linked to growth and resistance to stem‐boring insects in a herbaceous species, six populations of alligatorweed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) were grown in a common garden. Stem growth rate (GR) of A. philoxeroides and pupation rate as an estimate of resistance to a stem‐boring insect (Agasicles hygrophila) were quantified. Stem tissue mass density (TMD) was measured and stem anatomical traits were analysed on cross‐sectional areas (CSA). Stem TMD was positively correlated with resistance (i.e. negatively correlated with pupation rate) and negatively correlated with GR. Stem cortex CSA (%) and vascular bundle (VB) density (no./mm²) were positively related to stem TMD and negatively related to pupation rate. The GR was positively related to VB CSA (%) and negatively related to VB density. These results suggest that stem TMD, which results from a high fraction in cortex CSA and high VB density, is a key determinant of resistance to a stem‐boring specialist in A. philoxeroides. The high resistance of plants with higher stem TMD may partially impose a cost to plant growth.     

耕作措施对冬小麦田杂草生物多样性及产量的影响

在连续5a秸秆全量还田的免耕、旋耕、耙耕、深松和常规耕作试验地中,设置了除草和不除草处理,研究了其对杂草总密度、优势杂草种类、生物多样性指数和冬小麦产量的影响,并分析了杂草与小麦间的竞争关系。结果表明,麦田杂草主要有7种,分别是麦蒿(Descuminia sophia (L.) Webb ex Prantl)、荠菜(Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik)、燕麦(Avena sativa L.)、田旋花(Convolvulus arvensis L.)、刺儿菜(Cirsium setosum (Willd.) Bieb.)、繁缕(Stellaria media (L.) Vill.)、麦家公(Lithospermum arvense L.)。在未除草条件下,免耕、深松的杂草总密度显著提高;而在除草条件下,杂草密度显著下降。免耕、深松、常规耕作在未除草条件下,优势杂草种类为麦蒿、荠菜,旋耕、耙耕条件下的优势杂草为麦蒿;而除草后各处理的优势杂草均只有麦蒿。耙耕、常规耕作措施在未除草条件下杂草群落具有较高的物种丰富度和均匀度。无论哪种耕作措施,除草能提高冬小麦产量,其中以深松耕作结合除草处理的小麦产量最高。在小麦抽穗期,未除草处理杂草株高接近或高于小麦株高,会造成杂草与小麦间的光竞争,对小麦的生长状况有显著影响,从而导致小麦产量降低。     

不结球白菜种子活力及抗氧化特性在人工老化过程中的变化

以不结球白菜品种‘寒笑’种子为材料,研究高温(42℃)高湿(相对湿度100%)人工老化处理过程中种子活力及抗氧化相关特性的变化。结果显示:不结球白菜种子的发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数和活力指数随老化处理时间的延长而逐渐下降,不正常苗率逐渐增加;种子的超氧阴离子(O2.-)产生速率先增高后降低,过氧化氢(H2O2)含量逐渐增加,脂氧合酶(LOX)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量下降,种子浸出液相对电导率增加;种子超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性随老化处理时间的延长逐渐下降,抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)活性在老化处理初期(老化3 d前)均增加,APX活性随后降低,GPX活性无显著变化;种子抗坏血酸(AsA)和还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量在老化处理1 d后即显著降低并持续保持较低水平。研究表明,不结球白菜种子在人工加速老化过程中其抗氧化系统代谢紊乱并造成活性氧累积伤害,这可能是引起不结球白菜种子老化的重要原因。     

Acute toxicity and adverse effects of aqueous and ethanol extracts of Parkia biglobosa pods on biochemical parameters of Clarias gariepinus

The acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanol extracts of Parkia biglobosa pods against Clarias gariepinus was investigated under laboratory conditions. Agitated behaviours and respiratory distress were also observed during the exposure period. The adverse effects on biochemical parameters were assessed using semi-static bioassays for 28 days. The ethanol extract of P. biglobosa pods was found to be more acutely toxic with a 96 h LC₅₀ value of 13.96 mg l^?1 than the aqueous extracts, with a 96 h LC₅₀ value of 19.95 mg l^?1 against C. gariepinus. Both extracts induced agitated behaviours and respiratory distress in exposed organisms. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in groups of organisms exposed to extracts of P. biglobosa when compared with the control group after 14 days. The activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were also significantly (p < 0.05) lower compared with activities of the enzymes in the control group after 28 days. The current study has shown that the introduction of P. biglobosa pods into aquatic ecosystems is acutely toxic to fish and would possibly be to other non-target aquatic organisms especially invertebrates.
