特异腐质霉纤维素酶的研究

由腐植土中分离到一株嗜热真菌,经鉴定为特异腐质霉(Humicola insolens Cooney etEmerson)。研究了这株菌纤维素酶的产生条件和一般性质。菌在含麦麸5％、NaNO0.3％的液体培养基(灭菌前pH7.5,灭菌后pH7.2)中,于45℃培养4天,以羧甲基纤维素钠为底物,每ml滤液酶活力为20个单位。酶作用的最适条件为:pH6.0,温度为65—70℃。该纤维素酶是一种耐热酶,热稳定性较强,70℃保温5分钟后,酶活力剩余88％。底物对该酶的热钝化有较强的保护作用,无底物存在条件下,70℃保温6小时后,酶活力仅剩余1％,而在同样的处理温度和时间,在有底物存在条件下,酶活力可剩余30％。该酶在45℃保温15小时的条件下,pH稳定范围为6.0—9.0。     

Some virus and virus-like diseases of tobacco,tomato, papaya,and rubber tree in vietnam and cambodia

In Vietnam a green strain of tobacco mosaic virus was isolated having TIP 89°C (10 min) and causing systemic necrosis in tobacoo ‘Xanthi-nc’ and sometimes also inDatura stramonium. In symptomless tomato plants an elongated virus belonging apparently to the Carlavirus group (NL 630 nm) was found. In papaya trees showing severe symptoms of mosaic and/or ringspot elongated virus particles (NL 730 nm) were observed; this virus being apparently a member of the Potyvirus group, resembled as far as its symptoms in papaya are concerned, the papaya ringspot or the distortion ringspot. In Cambodia some young rubber trees showed malformed leaves (esp. edges and veins) with yellow discolorations along the veins. Such leaves contained elongated virus-like particles (rigid or slightly flexible) of various length (60 to 880 nm), so that their normal length (NL) could not be established precisely. Particles 120 to 150 nm long occurred very frequently.     

抗菌肽对种植体周围炎主要致病菌生长抑制作用的研究

目的研究抗菌肽KSL及其衍生物KSL—W对种植体周围炎主要致病菌的体外抑菌效果。方法应用二倍稀释法检测KSL和KSL—W对血链球菌、具梭核杆菌和牙龈卟啉单胞菌的最小抑菌浓度（MIC）和最小杀菌浓度（MBC）;MTT法检测KSL和KSL—W对成骨样细胞MG-63的细胞毒性。结果KSL和KSL—W对具梭核杆菌的MIC和MBC分别为0．0156mg／mL和0．0313mg／mL,对牙龈卟啉单胞菌的MIC和MBC分别为0．125mg／mL和0．5mg／mL,在0．5mg／mL的浓度范围内对血链球菌没有抑制作用;KSL和KSL-W在0．5mg／mL的浓度范围内没有细胞毒性。结论KSL和KSL—W没有细胞毒性,对具梭核杆菌和牙龈卟啉单胞菌具有抑制作用。     

Amygdala adenosine A1 receptors have no anticonvulsant effect on piriform cortex-kindled seizures in rat

Adenosine is an endogenous anticonvulsant that exerts its effects through A1 receptors. As the piriform/amygdala is a critical circuit for limbic seizure propagation, in this study, the role of basolateral amygdala A1 receptors on piriform cortex (PC)-kindled seizures was investigated. Rats were kindled by daily electrical stimulation of PC. In fully kindled animals, bilateral intra-amygdala N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA; 10-500 micromol/L, a selective A1 receptor agonist) had no effect on kindled-seizure parameters. However, bilateral intra-amygdala 2% lidocaine (reversal neuronal inhibitor) reduced the kindled seizure severity. There was significant increase in stage 4 latency and decrease in stage 5 duration. Bilateral lesion of basolateral amygdala of kindled animals (by electrical DC current) reduced the kindled seizure severity more dramatically. Our results showed afterdischarge duration, stage 5 duration, and seizure duration were decreased and stage 4 latency increased significantly. In addition, daily intra-amygdala CHA had no significant effect on PC kindling acquisition. Therefore, it may be concluded that although the basolateral amygdala neuronal activity has a critical role in the propagation of epileptic seizures from PC, the amygdala A1 receptors have no role in this regard. On the other hand, amygdala A1 receptors have no anticonvulsant or antiepileptogenic effect on PC-kindled seizures.
