小兴凯湖的水生植被及其生态作用

本文论述了小兴凯湖水生植物的种类组成、植被类型、生物量及其在湖泊淤积和渔业中的作用。该湖属老年期湖泊,水生维管束植物共有25科56种,优势种为竹叶眼子菜、荇菜、芦、菰等。植被类型可划分为沉水植被、浮叶植被和挺水植被等三个亚型,包括12个主要植物群丛。全湖水生植物总生物量(湿重)为196380吨;以植物现存量计算,草食性鱼类的年生产力应为78.75吨。由于水生植物大量繁殖,为减缓湖泊的垫平作用,可适量放养草食性鱼类,控制住水生植物的过量繁殖;同时引种一些经济水生植物,压住水中杂草的生长。     

水生观赏植物的调查和研究

水生绿化观赏植物是美化园林水景的重要植物材料,作者通过几年的调查研究和引种栽培,提出了28种(其中荷花含18个品种,睡莲含20个品种)水生绿化观赏植物,同时介绍了20种(其中荷花含6个品种)观赏价值较高的水生绿化观赏植物。     

高胆固醇血症家兔红细胞在交、直流电场中的电泳行为

本文对高胆固醇血症家兔红细胞在交、直流电场中的电泳行为进行了多指标测定,结果显示,高脂组与正常组相比红细胞聚集能力增强,变形能力及膜流动性下降,表明高脂血症可能较易导致血栓形成。中药有效成分8501有对抗高脂引起的红细胞上述改变的作用,提示8501可能对血栓和动脉粥样硬化斑块形成有防治作用。

Tyrosine mutations within the alpha platelet-derived growth factor receptor kinase insert domain abrogate receptor-associated phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activity without affecting mitogenic or chemotactic signal transduction.

A phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase activity of unknown biological function associates with tyrosine kinase-containing proteins, including a number of growth factor receptors after ligand stimulation. In the beta platelet-derived growth factor (beta PDGF) receptor, phosphorylation of a specific tyrosine residue within the kinase insert domain was required for its interaction with this enzyme. We show that substitutions of phenylalanine for tyrosine residue 731 or 742 within the kinase insert domain of the alpha PDGF receptor do not impair PDGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor or of an in vivo substrate, phospholipase C-gamma. Moreover, phosphatidylinositol turnover in response to ligand stimulation is unaffected. However, both lesions markedly impair receptor association with PI-3 kinase. Antiphosphotyrosine antibody-recoverable PI-3 kinase was also dramatically reduced in PDGF-stimulated cells expressing either mutant receptor. Since neither mutation abolished PDGF-induced mitogenesis or chemotaxis, we conclude that alpha PDGF receptor-associated PI-3 kinase activity is not required for either of these major PDGF signalling functions.     

Identification and characterization of the ATP·Mg-dependent protein phosphatase activator (FA) as a microtubule protein kinase in the brain

The activating factor of ATP·Mg-dependent protein phosphatase (F _A) has been identified in brain microtubules. When using purified MAP-2 (microtubule associated protein 2) and tau proteins as substrates,F _A could phosphorylate MAP-2 to 16 moles of phosphates per mole of protein with aK _m value of 0.4 µM, and tau proteins to 4 moles of phosphates per mole of proteins with aK _m value of about 3 µM. When using microtubules as substrates,F _A could enhance many-fold the endogenous phosphorylation of many microtubule-associated proteins including MAP-2, tau proteins, and several low-molecular-weight MAPs. In contrast to other reported MAP kinases, such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase and Ca⁺²/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, theF _A-catalyzed phosphorylation of tau proteins could cause an electrophoretic mobility shift on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that a dramatic conformational change of tau proteins was produced byF _A. Peptide mapping analysis of the phosphopeptides derived from SV8 protease digestion revealed thatF _A could phosphorylate MAP-2 and tau proteins on at least four specific sites distinctly different from those phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent and Ca⁺²/phospholipid-dependent MAP kinases. Quantitative analysis further indicated that approximately 19% of the total endogenous kinase activity in brain microtubules was due toF _A. Taken together, the results provide initial evidence that the ATP·Mg-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor (F _A) is a potent and unique MAP kinase, and may represent one of the major factors involved in phosphorylation of brain microtubules.     

Utility of the hot-wire spirometer

A comparative study has been carried out to investigate the performance of the hot-wire spirometer and the Rollingseal spirometer; the reproducibility of the data generated by an individual examiner; and the validity of data obtained by an "inexperienced examiner" using the hot-wire spirometer. The following results were obtained: 1. The experimental data given by the hot-wire spirometer were about 5-6% higher for FVC and FEV1, and about 10-12% higher for PFR, V50, and V25, respectively, when compared to the data generated by the Rollingseal spirometer. 2. The reproducibility of the data produced by the hot-wire spirometer operated by an "experienced examiner" was good, as the percent difference was about +/- 3%. 3. Reliable data were obtained with the spirometer even by an "inexperienced examiner" if he/she has gone through an on-site training concerning instrumentation and measurement methods for spirography.
