鼻行天下

在热带东非和南非的干旱地区，生长着一种奇异而有趣的树，树上一年到头只是一些光溜溜的绿枝，不长叶子，偶然长叶，但也很少，因此人们叫它“光棍树：也有人叫它神仙棒或绿玉树，日本人称之为青珊瑚。     

长叶榧的木材结构

<正> 所用木材标本采自福建省太宁县。树干胸径为10.5厘米。在横切面上,从中心向外连续选取木材样品两个,照一般方法作横向、径向和弦向三种切片租离析,均用番红染色,供显微研究使用。     

正常长爪沙鼠的血象分析

长爪沙鼠是有开发应用价值的实验动物。本文首次测定了我国人工驯养、繁殖的100只(雌雄各50只)正常长爪涉鼠的血象正常值。其血象数据与国外学者报道的基本一致,性别间无显著性差异。     

宽缘萤叶甲属一新种(鞘翅目:叶甲科)

宽缘萤叶甲Pseudosepharia Laboissi(?)re是萤叶甲亚科中的单模属,目前全世界仅知产于四川的Pseudosepharia dilatipennis(Fairmaire)一种。本属鞘翅强烈膨阔,侧缘近圆形,翅端平截,缘折甚宽;前足基节窝开放;后足胫节端部有一较长的刺,第1跗节颇长,长于其余三节之和。 作者在整理标本过程中发现一个新种,是借南开大学的标本。模式标本保存在中国科学院动物研究所。

冷杉蒸腾速率及其与生态因子的相关分析

滇西北亚高山地带20年生长苞冷杉（Abies georgei)的蒸腾速率,一年中由低至高,7月份达最大值（195．88mgH2/g.h),尔后下降,蒸腾速率的日进程为午休型,呈双峰曲线变化,蒸腾速率与气温,叶温和光强为正相关,与相对湿度为负相关,冷杉蒸腾速率随海拔增高而降低,高海拔处冷杉蒸腾速率的日进程波动也较小,海拔相同时,迹地上生长的冷杉蒸腾速率比林地内的高,前者为186．15mgH2O/g.h,后者则为123．97mgH2O/g.h。     

不同动物制备的抗血清对病毒抗原免疫反应的差异

血清学技术是病毒诊断、鉴定、分类及亲缘关系分析的重要手段。一般常用以制备抗病毒血清的动物是家兔,但也有采用其它动物的,如蛙、羊、豚鼠、鸡及小鼠等。本文比较了Balb/c小鼠、昆明种小鼠和新西兰大白兔对长叶车前花叶病毒上海分离株(RMVsh)和烟草花叶病毒普通株(TMVc)的免疫反应特征。     

单克隆抗体亲和层析纯化长叶车前花叶病毒

长叶车前花叶病毒上海分离株(HRVsh)单克隆抗体1H2,经纯化后以溴化氰活化法偶联于Sepharose 4B上制成亲和层析柱。HRVsh感染的三生烟提取液,经一次聚乙二醇沉淀初步纯化,悬浮液上亲和层析柱,于磷酸缓冲液中吸附,蒸馏水洗脱。收集的病毒制剂接种心叶烟有感染性,电镜观察见典型的HRVsh粒子,紫外吸收光谱与常规方法提纯的病毒相似,SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳呈一条带。结果表明单克隆抗体亲和层忻得到高度纯化的HRVsh。最后讨论了单克隆抗体亲和层析方法的优点。

NMDA受体在海马CA3区习得性TP保持中的作用

The effect of microinjection of 2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV), a selective NMDA receptor antagonist, into the rat hippocampal CA3 area on the synaptic efficacy and related conditioned behavior during the acquisition and consolidation of discrimination learning behavior was examined. The results showed: (1) After population spike (PS) amplitude had just increased to the maximum through training i.e. learning-dependent LTP had just formed, APV 1 microliter (2 mmol/L) was injected into CA3 area, then the rats were trained during the time of efficacy of the drug in every experimental block. The result demonstrated that the PS amplitude could not be maintained at the highest level but decreased to the pre-experiment level after 8 blocks. Correct response percentage of rats could not be consolidated with further training but decreased to less than 10%. (2) After the PS amplitude had kept up at the highest level, APV 1 microliter (2 mmol/L) was injected into CA3 area, then the rats were trained during the time of efficacy of the drug in every experimental block, in which case the PS amplitude also could not be maintained at the highest level but decreased to the pre-experiment level after 14 blocks. Correlatively, when the correct response percentage of rats decreased gradually to less than 10%, the conditioned response of the animals extinguished, but its extinction speed was slower than it was in result (1). These results suggest that the NMDA receptor in CA3 area plays an important role in the maintenance of the learning-dependent long-term potentiation.
