肠道菌群与肠易激综合征分型及患者血清细胞间黏附分子 1表达的关系

目的分析肠道菌群与IBS分型及患者血清细胞间黏附分子 1(ICAM 1)表达的关系,为后续研究提供参考。方法选择2018年12月至2020年1月我院收治的152例符合标准的肠易激综合征(IBS)患者作为观察组,并依照罗马Ⅲ标准将观察组患者分为腹泻型组(62例)、便秘型组(56例)、混合型组(34例);选择同期我院健康体检者30例为对照组。检测受试者粪便中双歧杆菌、乳杆菌、肠杆菌和肠球菌数量,同时检测受试者血清ICAM 1水平。采用Pearson相关性分析患者肠道菌群与血清ICAM 1关系,并采用Logistics回归模型分析肠道菌群与IBS各亚型的关系。结果观察组患者血清ICAM 1、肠道双歧杆菌、乳杆菌水平显著低于对照组,肠道肠杆菌和肠球菌水平显著高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。不同亚型IBS患者血清ICAM 1、肠道双歧杆菌、乳杆菌、肠杆菌和肠球菌水平存在明显差异,其中混合组患者血清ICAM 1、肠杆菌、肠球菌数量最高,双歧杆菌、乳杆菌数量最低;腹泻型组肠道肠杆菌、肠球菌数量最低,双歧杆菌、乳杆菌数量最高(均P<0.05)。肠道中双歧杆菌、乳杆菌、肠杆菌、肠球菌数量是IBS分型的独立影响因素(均P<0.05)。患者肠道双歧杆菌、乳杆菌数量与ICAM 1水平呈显著负相关,而肠道肠杆菌和肠球菌数量与ICAM 1水平呈显著正相关(均P<0.05)。结论肠道菌群可影响IBS患者分型,且肠道中部分菌群与ICAM 1水平存在显著相关关系。     

四川省甘孜州水土保持牧草资源现状及应用分析

通过查阅文献、走访与路线踏勘,并结合植物群落样方调查等方法对甘孜州水土保持牧草种类组成与分布状况进行研究,探讨其区系特征及应用方式。结果表明,甘孜州水土保持牧草有11科28属120种,其中双子叶植物7科10属62种,单子叶植物3科17属57种,多年生植物占主导(96种)。有禾本科(Gramineae)、蓼科(Polygonaceae)、菊科(Compositae)、豆科(Leguminosae)4个优势科,蓼属(Polygonum)、蒿属(Artemisia)、羊茅属(Festuca)3个优势属。植物区系上,以温带与泛热带区系分布为主(占总属数的71.43%),且温带成分所占比例最大(46.43%),其次为泛热带成分(25.00%)。空间分布不均,种类在垂直方向以2000～3500 m最丰富,水平方向以东西部高山峡谷区最多。     

Biogeographical and bioclimatic outline of Antarctica

Abstract

This study proposes a bioclimatic characterization and a new biogeographic division for the Antarctic territories up to the province level following the criteria and models of Rivas-Martínez et al. The Antarctic Kingdom comprises the continent of Antarctica, the surrounding ice-covered Antarctic islands, and the associated cold oceanic islands and archipelagos. It has two biogeographic regions: the Antarctic Region and the Subantarctic Insular Region. The Antarctic Region includes the entire pergelid Antarctic continent and the surrounding islands and archipelagos, and is characterized by upper suprapolar hyperoceanic and oceanic or Polar pergelid bioclimates on the coasts. The region has been divided into three pr6ovinces: Maritime Antarctica, West Antarctica and East Antarctica. The Subantarctic Insular Region comprises the circumantarctic islands and archipelagos that are widespread at the southern tip of the planet’s most important oceans, mostly in the subtemperate latitudinal zone inside or not far from the Antarctic Convergence. Bioclimatically, all insular subantarctic territories (excluding the South-American Tierra de Fuego, Terra Magellanica and large islands) are characterized by thermo-suprapolar and semipolar antarctic hyperoceanic bioclimates on the coasts. Four provinces – Falklandian-South Georgian, Kerguelenian, Macquarian and Aucklandian-Campbellian – have been recognized in this region. All these units are characterized by floristic bioindicators.     

Assessment of endangered synanthropic plants of Hungary with special attention to arable weeds

Abstract

In the present study, species were selected from the new Red List of the vascular flora of Hungary which can be regarded as a weed. For each species, current conservation status and the most important traits were assessed. Altogether 149 weed species were found to be at risk according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories: 11 species are extinct, 11 are critically endangered, 27 are endangered, 26 are vulnerable, 62 are near threatened and 12 are data deficient. These species belong to 37 plant families, from which the most important are Caryophyllaceae, Brassicaceae, Asteraceae, Scrophulariaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Poaceae and Fabaceae. The most significant chorological elements are Mediterranean (28%) and Eurasian (27%); endemic (Pannonian) taxa constitute only 5.4%. Over 90% of these species are of native or archaeophyte origin, according to their residence time. Considering the main habitat types, 46% of the species are originated from dry habitats, 23% from arable lands, 17.5% from wet habitats and 13.5% from ruderal habitats. In the life form spectra, a pronounced dominance of therophytes (81%) is represented. The factor that currently offers the greatest conflict to the conservation of endangered weed species in Hungary are side effects of strong eradication campaigns against the invasive Ambrosia artemisiifolia.     

Studio comparativo sulla flora urbana in Italia

Abstract

Lo studio è basato sul confronto tra la flora di 5 città localizzate nelle principali regioni fitoclimatiche italiane: Milano, Ancona, Roma, Cagliari e Palermo. L'analisi di 684 specie rilevate in 50 aree campione ha evidenziato l'importanza delle apofite nella flora urbana in Italia e il ruolo delle terofite che provengono direttamente dalla vegetazione mediterranea. Il confronto ha inoltre mostrato la dominanza dei fattori biogeografici nella costituzione della copertura vegetale delle 5 città. Questi risultati contrastano con l'elevata percentuale di specie esotiche e con l'uniformità floristica osservate nelle aree urbane dell'Europa Centrale.     

Stipa valdemonensis (Poaceae), a new species from Sicily

Abstract

A new species of Stipa, endemic to Sicily, named Stipa valdemonensis is described here. The new taxon is related to Stipa crassiculmis. Owing to the small number of individuals observed, in few restricted localities only, it is assigned the IUCN threat status “vulnerable”.     

Conspectus of Italian Selaginella (Selaginellaceae), with some typifications

An annotated synonymic inventory of Italian Selaginella taxa, a practical key for their identification and their dot distribution maps are presented, as a result of our work on the Selaginellaceae account for the Flora Critica d'Italia. The names Lycopodium helveticum L. and Selaginella denticulata var. platystachya Hieron. are typified.     

Homoploid hybrid speciation in Doronicum L. (Asteraceae)? Morphological,karyological and molecular evidences

Abstract

The first unambiguous documentation of hybridism in the genus Doronicum (Senecioneae – Asteraceae) is reported. All our morphological, karyological and molecular data concur to indicate that Doronicum × minutilloi Peruzzi hybr. nov. (2n = 60) is a hybrid growing in Monti Aurunci (Central Italy), originated from the spontaneous crossing D. orientale Hoffm. (2n = 60) × D. columnae Ten. (2n = 60). This new hybrid shows a slightly higher morphological, karyotypic and ribotypic affinity with D. columnae, but shares a trnL-trnF IGS haplotype with D. orientale, and co-occurs with the latter species only; it has reduced fertility and a high potential for vegetative propagation through rhizome fragmentation. Our results led us to suspect in fieri homoploid hybrid speciation.
