Distribution and Significance of Nitric Oxide Synthase in Brain Tissues of Rats Exposed to Deltamethrin Insecticide

The distribution of nitric oxide synthase(NOS)in brain tissues of rats exposed to deltamethrininsecticide has been examined by histochemical NADPH-diaphorase staining techniques on frozen sec-tions.After injection of deltamethrin(12.5mg/kg,i.p.),a reproducible sequence of toxic signs ofhyperexcitability were elicited.The observation and image analysis showed that,within brain sec-tions of rats exposed to deltamethrin,the numbers and the total staining areas of the NOS positiveneurons were greatly increased,especially in cerebral cortex,hippocampal formation and paraventric-ular nucleus.In addition,the density of single neuron and the processes were also increased.The re-sults suggested that deltamethrin may induce the NOS expression or activate the NOS activity.TheNOS activation may involve in the chains responsible for the excitatory neurotoxicities induced bydeltamethrin.

枯草杆菌蛋白酶E的156和165位突变

应用定点突变方法,在M222A突变的枯草杆菌蛋白酶E基因上进行E156S和V165I定点突变. 将突变基因插入大肠杆菌-枯草杆菌穿梭质粒pBE-2中,在碱性和中性蛋白酶缺陷型的枯草杆菌DB104中进行表达,得到突变种(M222A,E156S)和(M222A,E156S,V165I)蛋白酶E. 性质测定表明,E156S突变使蛋白酶比活力增加90%,并不影响酶的热稳定性和抗氧化性. 而V165I突变使蛋白酶比活力降低.     

FK-506结合蛋白对钙释放通道的调控

细胞内自由钙作为一种重要的细胞信使广泛地参与细胞生理功能调控.胞内钙库(内质网系和肌浆网系)对调节细胞内自由钙水平起着重要的作用.钙库膜上的钙释放通道(ryanodine受体和三磷酸肌醇受体)受许多因素调控,其中之一就是新近研究得相当多的FK506结合蛋白.免疫抑制剂FK506能特异地结合钙库上一种分子质量为12 ku左右的蛋白,这种FK506结合蛋白与钙释放通道形成一种紧密连接的复合体,在正常生理情况下对钙释放通道起着十分重要的调控作用.     

转铁蛋白分型及其基因频率分布

用固相pH梯度(pH 5.05～5.60)等电聚焦技术对随机抽取的188名北京地区健康汉族人的血清转铁蛋白(Tf)进行分型调查,并统计基因频率,检出了在中国还未见报道的Tf^C3基因.其表型分别是：TfC1, TfC2, TfC1C2, TfC1C3, TfC1Dchi, TfC2Dchi.Tf^C1=0.7420, Tf^C2=0.2420, Tf^C3=0.0027, Tf^Dchi=0.0133, 符合Hardy-Weinberg定律, 并与其他已见报道的汉族 Tf基因频率大致相符.     

Sequence variation and genetic diversity in the giant panda

About 336–444 bp mitochondrial D-loop region and tRNA gene were sequenced for 40 individuals of the giant panda which were collected from Mabian, Meigu, Yuexi, Baoxing, Pingwu, Qingchuan, Nanping and Baishuijiang, respectively. 9 haplotypes were found in 21 founders. The results showed that the giant panda has low genetic variations, and that there is no notable genetic isolation among geographical populations. The ancestor of the living giant panda population perhaps appeared in the late Pleistocene, and unfortunately, might have suffered bottleneck attacks. Afterwards, its genetic diversity seemed to recover to some extent.

人胚DA能神经元移植于帕金森氏病猴模型的TH免疫细胞化学的研究

为了对人胚黑质ＤＡ神经元移植治疗ＰＤ人的临床应用作出客观评估,将８－１２周人胚黑质细胞移植到用ＭＰＴＰ诱发的偏侧ＰＤ猴新纹状体内。实验动物分别存活２个月、５个月和１年后,用ＴＨ免疫细胞化学方法对被移植的人胚ＤＡ细胞的存活和与宿主间的突触联系进行检查。在光镜下可见被移植侧的新纹状体内有ＴＨ阳性细胞,它们成小群散在分布,每小群有３－１０个细胞。ＴＨ阳性细胞的轴突延伸到整个新纹状体,树突呈现出正常发育过

应用草型塘模型生态系统研究化学品的整体生态效应

本文叙述草型塘模型生态系统的结构、功能及应用于评价化学品引起生态效应的可能性。模型塘由８个３ｍ×１ｍ×１ｍ（Ｖ＝３ｍ￣３）的玻璃钢水槽组成。每个槽的底部铺设１０ｃｍ厚的带有水生生物种子、孢子和卵子的河泥,灌注自来水,添加一定量的ＫＮＯ＿３和ＮａＨ＿２ＰＯ＿４．使起始氮、磷含量达到中－富营养水平。在室外自然光照条件下培养,实验历时４个多月。经１个多月的培养,各槽即形成结构复杂的沉水植物群落,除各种常见的沉水植物外,尚有多种藻类、浮游动物、底栖动物及微生物。各群落之间的相似性较好,藻类、浮游甲壳类及底栖动物多样性指数变异系数分别为１７．７％、１８．０％和３６．０％。群落功能稳定,９月中旬各槽群落总产氧量平均为５．７５±０．３０ｇ／ｍ￣２·ｄ’Ｐ／Ｒ比值平均为１．２６±０．０７,二者的变异系数分别为５．２％和５．６％。经单甲脒农药污染影响实验,本模型生态系统中的群落结构及功能产生一系列明显反应。说明草型塘模型生态系统结构、功能比较复杂,稳定,可比性较强,对药物污染反应灵敏,是生态系统水平上生态效应评价的良好工具。     

促黄体素释放激素类似物(LH-RH-A)对妊娠大鼠子宫代谢的直接作用

本实验结果表明,胚泡着床点对~3H-尿嘧啶和~3H-亮氨酸的摄取明显高于非着床点子宫部位。LH-RH-A可显著抑制胚泡着床点对这两种同位素的摄取;且对非着床子宫组织也有抑制作用,但抑制程度较弱。进一步证实,着床的胚泡确能产生一种或几种因子,对子宫内膜的分化起重要作用;同时证实,LH-RH-A可通过对RNA和蛋白质合成的抑制作用而直接影响妊娠大鼠子宫的代谢,对胚泡着床点部位的影响尤为明显。
