Structural study of circulating thymic factor: a peptide isolated from pig serum. I. Isolation and purification.

A circulating thymic factor (FTS) has been characterized by a bioassay based on its ability to render theta-negative rosette-forming cells theta-positive and azathioprine-sensitive. FTS was sequentially purified and finally isolated from 1000 liters of pig serum by ultrafiltration, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography. Its amino acid composition and apparent molecular weight estimated by Sephadex G-25 chromatography, indicate that FTS is a nonapeptide of composition lysine, aspartic acid (or asparagine), serine 2, glutamic acid (or glutamine) 2, glycine 2, and alanine.     

额蚤属一新种记述(蚤目:细蚤科)

最近,我们重新整理和检视了过去的蚤类标本。从中发现额蚤属中一批曾定为圆指额蚤[Frontopsylla(F.)wagneri Ioff,1928]的标本与我们最近从北塔山地区采到的典型的圆指额蚤标本显著不同,认为是一新种,兹记述如下。     

Pindolol acts as beta-adrenoceptor agonist in orthostatic hypotension: therapeutic implications.

Three bedridden patients with severe orthostatic hypotension due to chronic autonomic failure were treated with pindolol (15 mg/day), a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist with partial agonist activity. While taking this drug the patients were free of orthostatic symptoms: they could walk, and standing blood pressure was maintained above 90/50 mm Hg. Supine heart rate rose during treatment by 12-21 beats/minute, and stroke volume and cardiac output by 12-24 ml and 1.5-3.1 l/min respectively. Supine blood pressure rose by 21-68 mm Hg systolic and 14-49 mm Hg diastolic. Pindolol 15 mg/day was therapeutically effective in these three patients with severe orthostatic hypotension due to chronic autonomic failure. Further studies in a larger series of patients are needed to confirm this result.     

杉梢小卷蛾新种记述(鳞翅目:卷蛾科)

近年来由于杉梢小卷蛾在福建、江西、浙江、江苏、湖南、湖北、安徽、广东、广西等省(区)的为害,严重地影响了杉木的成长。现经研究鉴定为一新种,属鳞翅目、卷蛾科(Tortricidae)、小卷蛾亚科(Olethreutinae)、新小卷蛾族(Olethreutini)、Polychrosis属,订名为 Polychrosis cunninghamiacola。     

BME-1生物医用电子微分器

本文介绍了一个用国产高输入阻抗运算放大器制成的生物医用电子微分器。电路由同步输入、延时、三角波发生器、微分单元和滤波单元组成。微分时间常数20μs—50ms;校正电压变化率±0.1v/s—±200v/s;延时20μs—10s。微分器可为外来正脉冲触发,也可手动触发,它已用于微分心肌细胞动作电位、心腔压力等多种生物讯号。     

元谋新第三纪食肉动物化石的初步观察

本文对云南元谋盆地产古猿化石地点的部分食肉类化石进行了初步观察分类,认为它们的时代似应稍晚于禄丰,相当上新世早期,估计距今5-6百万年.
