To explore the relationship between the change of beta-adrenoceptor and the metabolism of phospholipids in lung tissue from acute heat stressed rats, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptors, the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), the content of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS), and membrane fluidity in lung tissue of normal and heat stressed rats were investigated. The relevant parameter values mentioned above were 479 +/- 94 fmol/mg protein, 78.5 +/- 8.2 U, 53.5 +/- 1.7 mg/g.wet. w. and 425.1 +/- 68.1 micrograms/g.wet. w. respectively. Whereas in the heat stressed rats with rectal temperature raised to 42 degrees C for 15 min, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptor was decreased by 43% (P less than 0.01), the activity of PLA2 increased by 83% (P less than 0.01), the contents of PC and PS decreased by 50% and 47% (P less than 0.01) respectively. A lower membrane fluidity in lung tissue for heat stressed rats was also demonstrated. The results suggest that the decreased binding sites of beta-adrenoceptor in lung tissue of rat during hyperthermia may be contributed to the activation of PLA2, which then accelerated the catabolism of phospholipids such as PC and PS in the cell plasma membrane, with a consequent alteration of membrane fluidity.     

刺激隐神经中C类纤维诱发的小脑浦肯野细胞简单...

Simple spike of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PC-SS) was recorded with microelectrode. In the NCCVF (normalized cross-covariance function) histogram, spontaneous PC-SS does not show obvious peak. When the saphenous nerve is stimulated at lower intensities, which elicits the A-fiber input only, the discharge response (A-CED) consists of an early component with a latency of 16.7 +/- 0.9 ms and a late component with a latency of 270.8 +/- 12.8 ms. After A-fibers are blocked selectively by polarizing current, the stimulation at a suprathreshold strength for C-fiber evokes a characteristic response (C-CED) with a latency of 142.4 +/- 4.3 ms. However, the C-CED can not be evoked by the inputs of A- and C-fiber simultaneously. In NPSDF histogram, the spontaneous activities of PC-SS can be divided into two groups, the high and the low peak group. The high peak group (n = 15) has a peak energy value of 15.7 +/- 4.7 x 10(-3) and peak frequency of 4.07 +/- 1.69 Hz. A-fiber input causes an increase of the peak value, while C-fiber input causes a decrease. The low peak group (n = 16) has a peak energy value 8.4 +/- 1.4 x 10(-3) and peak frequency of 3.67 +/- 2.90 Hz. Both A-fiber and C-fiber inputs cause an increase of the peak value, but the effect of A-fiber input was more prominent. The results show that the pure C-fiber input can reach the cerebellar PC and elicit characteristic simple spike response.     

刺激隐神经中C类纤维诱发的小脑浦肯野细胞简单锋电位反应

用玻璃微电极记录了猫小脑浦肯野细胞的简单锋电位(PC-SS)。在标准化互协方差函数图中,PC-SS自发放电无明显波峰;弱刺激隐神经只引起A类纤维传入时,PC-SS出现A类诱发放电反应(A-CED),它包括潜伏期为16.7±0.9ms的早反应和270.8±12.8ms的晚反应。用极化电流选择性阻滞A类纤维传导后,强刺激只引起C类纤维单独传入时,出现潜伏期为142.4±4.3ms的C类诱发反应(C-CED)。强刺激同时引起A类和C类纤维传入时,只出现A-CED而不出现C-CED。按标准化功率谱密度函数分析,PC-SS自发放电可分为两种类型。一类为高峰型,最大能量峰值平均为15.7±4.7×10~(-3),峰频为4.07±1.67Hz;刺激A类纤维使峰值增大,而刺激C类纤维却使峰值减小。另一类为低峰型,峰值为8.4±1.4×10~(-3),峰频为3.67±2.90Hz。刺激A类和C类纤维均使峰值增大,前者增大更多,但峰频均无显著性变化。上述结果表明,C类纤维传入可以到达小脑浦肯野细胞,引起特异的PC-SS放电反应。     

植物细胞在离体培养条件下的决定问题

“决定”(Determination)这一术语来自动物胚胎发育生物学,意指胚胎某一区域的组织或细胞只能向某一特定方向分化的发育状态。决定与否以及决定的程度必须用离体培养或异位移植的方法来测定。“决定”作为发育生物学上的一种现象,同样存在于高等植物中,如茎生长点的成花决定和

中国小壳化石研究现状与展望

中国小壳化石研究已有20年的历程,通过同行们的辛勤劳动已取得了令人注目的丰硕成果。70年代中期,我们首次将酸泡方法应用于小壳化石的处理,从而获得了大量的多门类的未知带壳化石,全面揭示了中国寒武纪带壳动物大爆发的内幕。这一结果,不仅改写了20年前“前三叶虫期”只有肉眼可见的杆状软舌螺化石的状况,而且填补了古生物门类的大片空白。
