名贵滋补品消费应慎行

在养生保健热流的炙烤下,在收入节节攀高的保障下,在自我尊贵意识的膨胀下,一股传统高档滋补品的消费之风融入时尚潮流。燕窝、山参加虫草,鱼翅、海参和鲍鱼。在高收入人群中已然形成一个进补族,他们彼此的问候语是:最近在吃什么,效果如何?殊不知,并不是所有的人都适合滋补,盲目进补可能会带来麻烦甚至是伤害,与晋身补族的初衷,背道而驰——     

Allele-specific PCR genotyping of the HSP70 gene polymorphism discriminating the green and red color variants sea cucumber （Apostichopus japonicus）

Color variation is a well-known feature of sea cucumbers (Apostichopus japonicus),which are classified into three groups based on their colors of red,green and black.It is also one of the most important traits related to how they taste,and it thereby affects their market price.Attempts were made to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and to analyze differences associated with SNP genotypes between green and red color variants using HSP70 as the target gene.The HSP70 gene,which is found universally in organisms from bacteria to humans,is one of the most evolutionarily conserved genes and the most widely studied biomarker of stress response.DNA fragments of 1074 bp covering a partial sequence of the sea cucumber HSP70 gene,were amplified from both red and green variants,and subsequently analyzed for the presence of SNPs.Twenty-seven polymorphic sites in total,including heterozygous sites,were observed.Of these,six sites were found to be significantly different SNP genotypes between green and red variants.Furthermore,PCR with an internal primer designed to include an allelespecific SNP at the 3' end (site 443) showed differentiation between the two variants,100％ and 4.2％ amplification in green and red variants,respectively.The validated SNPs may serve as informative genetic markers that can be used to distinguish variants at the early developmental stage,prior to color differentiation.     

糙刺参（Stichopus horrens）线粒体基因组及一种新的基因排列顺序

线粒体基因组序列在后口动物进化研究中有着重要的作用.本研究使用PCR方法获得糙刺参（Stichopus horrens）线粒体全基因组序列.该序列全长16257bp,包含13个蛋白编码基因,22个tRNA基因和2个rRNA基因.除了一个蛋白编码基因（nad6）和5个tRNA基因（tRNASer（UCN）,tRNAGln,tRNAAla,tRNAVal,tRNAAsp）在轻链上编码外,其余的基因都在重链上编码.糙刺参线粒体重链碱基有30.8%A,23.7%C,16.2%G,和29.3%T构成.假定的线粒体控制区长675bp.基因间间隔碱基长1～50bp,共227bp.11个基因间有重叠碱基,长1～10bp,共25bp.13个蛋白编码基因起始密码子均为ATG,终止密码子大多为TAA（nad3和nad4的为TAG）.亮氨酸编码频率最高（16.29%）,随后是丝氨酸（10.34%）和苯丙氨酸（8.37%）.所有的22个tRNA基因均能折叠成三叶草结构.通过和其他4种海参的线粒体基因排列顺序比较,本研究发现糙刺参的线粒体基因排列顺序是一种新的排列方式.     

海参多糖对急性不完全性脑缺血的保护及抗凝作用的研究

目的:研究海参多糖(PSU)对大鼠急性不完全性脑缺血(AICI)损伤的保护作用及抗凝血作用。方法:SD大鼠60只,随机分为5组(n=12):假手术组、模型组、海参多糖低(30 mg/(kg.d))、中(60mg/(kg.d))、高(120mg/(kg.d))剂量组。双侧颈总动脉永久性结扎法复制大鼠急性不完全性脑缺血模型,观察海参多糖对大鼠行为障碍、脑组织含水量、血清C-反应蛋白(CRP)水平的变化情况,以及对凝血酶原时间(PT)、活化的部分凝血酶时间(APTT)、凝血酶时间(TT)和纤维蛋白原含量(FIB)等血液凝血指标的影响。结果:海参多糖可改善行为学障碍,减少脑组织含水量,降低血清CRP水平;可显著延长APTT,TT时间,减少FIB含量(P<0.05)。结论:海参多糖能明显减轻大鼠急性不完全性脑缺血损伤,并具有显著的抗凝血作用。     

雌性宽肋盘腹蛛的种内形态变异(蜘蛛目,蝗蟷蛛科)

通过研究同一种群雌性宽肋盘腹蛛Cyclocosmia latusicosta Zhu,Zhang & Zhang,2006,发现该种个体间在体长、步足长度、齿堤齿的形态与数量、圆盘肋数及纳精囊长宽之比等方面变异较大;宽肋盘腹蛛与里氏盘腹蛛Cyclocosmia ricketti(Pocock,1901)的区别主要是圆盘印痕中央是否存在纽扣状突起.     

菊方翅网蝽内生殖系统的结构与形态发育研究

一般认为网蝽科及其近缘类群所特有的伪储精囊与其它半翅目异翅亚目昆虫的储精囊具有相同的储存精子的功能,但近期的功能形态学研究否定了伪储精囊的储精功能并认定其为雌性生殖附腺。本文从成虫性成熟过程中的内生殖系统发育角度,描述了菊方翅网蝽Corythucha marmorata的卵巢、侧输卵管、伪储精囊、精巢、精囊和雄性生殖附腺的结构及其形态变化。在成虫性成熟过程中,雄虫内生殖器官精囊和雄性附腺逐渐加长,且成熟期的雄性附腺充满粉红色分泌物;雌虫内生殖器官的成熟过程分为卵巢小管的卵室形成、卵黄沉积和卵粒成熟三个阶段,且排完卵后卵巢重新孕卵,出现周期性形态变化;交配时侧输卵管基部膨大为精液接受器,并接受精液(含精子和精浆);交配1d后侧输卵管恢复为正常状态,精液或至少部分精浆弥漫性渗入伪储精囊,并在伪储精囊内形成黄棕色沉积核;未交配雌虫的伪储精囊一直保持透明状,而已交配雌虫的伪储精囊具有明显的黄棕色沉积核。据精液传递和粉红色雄性生殖附腺分泌物渗入雌虫伪储精囊两个关键证据推断,菊方翅网蝽雌虫的伪储精囊具有储存精液的功能。     

Sexual selection affects the sizes of the mammalian prostate gland and seminal vesicles

The accessory reproductive glands of male mammals contribute the bulk of the secretions in which spermatozoa are transported to the female tract during copulation. Despite their morphological diversity,and the chemical complexity of their products,little is known about the possible effects of sexual selection upon these glands in mammals. Here we consider the seminal vesicles and prostate glands in a sample of 89 species and 60 genera representing 8 Orders of mammals. The sizes of the accessory glands are analysed in relation to body weight and testes weight. Both the seminal vesicles size and prostate size (corrected for body weight) correlate positively with relative testes size in this sample; this finding remains highly significant after application of procedures to correct for possible phylogenetic biases in the data set. The accessory reproductive glands are also significantly larger in those mammals which have large relative testes sizes,and in which the likelihood of sperm competition is greatest. These results support the hypothesis that sexual selection has played an important role in the evolution of the mammalian prostate gland and seminal vesicles.
