树木气孔浸润级与SO2伤害及ABA的防护作用

以常见绿化树种为材料,通过实地测定和熏烟实验,探讨了气孔浸润级与树木SO₂伤害的关系及ABA的防护效应.结果表明,在特定环境下,相同树种的气孔浸润级较为稳定,不同树种的气孔浸润级差异较大;浸润级与叶绿素结合度呈负相关变化,但不明显;与K⁺渗出量呈正相关(r=0.92,α＜0.01),并按95%的置信度绘制了伤害预测图.不同SO₂浓度条件下,对同一树种的气孔浸润级的影响甚小,不超过一个等级,K⁺渗出量则依大气SO₂浓度和树木吸S量的增加而增多.气孔浸润级依ABA溶液处理浓度增大而降低,K⁺渗出量也相应减少,经2.5mol·L^-1×4h剂量的SO₂熏烟,预涂30mol·L^-1ABA者,降低了1.5～3个浸润级,K⁺渗出量减少36.5%～54.8%,其测定值与自然对照值相近,防护作用显著.

Snow depth manipulation and its influence on soil frost and water dynamics in a northern hardwood forest

Climate change will likelyresult in warmer winter temperatures leading toless snowfall in temperate forests. Thesechanges may lead to increases in soil freezingbecause of lack of an insulating snow cover andchanges in soil water dynamics during theimportant snowmelt period. In this study, wemanipulated snow depth by removing snow for twowinters, simulating the late development of thesnowpack as may occur with global warming, toexplore the relationships between snow depth,soil freezing, soil moisture, and infiltration.We established four sites, each with two pairedplots, at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest(HBEF) in New Hampshire, U.S.A. and instrumentedall eight plots with soil and snow thermistors,frost tubes, soil moisture probes, and soillysimeters. For two winters, we removed snowfrom the designated treatment plots untilFebruary. Snow in the reference plots wasundisturbed. The treatment winters (1997/1998 and1998/1999) were relatively mild, withtemperatures above the seasonal norm and snowdepths below average. Results show the treatedplots accumulated significantly less snow andhad more extensive soil frost than referenceplots. Snow depth was a strong regulator ofsoil temperature and frost depth at all sites.Soil moisture measured by time domainreflectometry probes and leaching volumescollected in lysimeters were lower in thetreatment plots in March and April compared tothe rest of the year. The ratio of leachatevolumes collected in the treatment plots tothat in the reference plots decreased as thesnow ablation seasons progressed. Our data showthat even mild winters with low snowfall,simulated by snow removal, will result inincreased soil freezing in the forests at theHBEF. Our results suggest that a climate shifttoward less snowfall or a shorter duration ofsnow on the ground will produce increases insoil freezing in northern hardwood forests.Increases in soil freezing will haveimplications for changes in soil biogeochemicalprocesses.     

Effects of dexamethasone and FK506 on Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis and bacterial viability in Mongolian gerbils

FK506 and dexamethasone were used to investigate whether or not immunosuppression affects H. pylori colonization and gastric mucosal damage induced by Helicobacter pylori in Mongolian gerbils. Two weeks after H. pylori infection, FK506 and dexamethasone or vehicle alone were subcutaneously administered once daily for the following 2 weeks. FK506 or vehicle alone was administered subcutaneously once daily for 5 weeks (1 week before and 4 weeks after infection). In H. pylori-infected animals for 4 weeks, hemorrhagic erosions and inflammatory responses (neutrophil infiltration and lymphoid follicle formation) were induced in gastric mucosa at an incidence of 100%. Both FK506 and dexamethasone administered for 2 weeks markedly reduced such mucosal changes. In these animals, H. pylori viability in the stomach was significantly elevated. FK506 administered for 5 weeks also significantly inhibited the hemorrhagic erosions, edema and neutrophil infiltration in the stomach. H. pylori viability was slightly elevated as compared with the control. It was concluded that the host immune responses might play dual roles both by deteriorating gastritis induced by H. pylori and by protecting against H. pylori infection in its early stage.     

免疫细胞浸润在非小细胞肺癌诊断与预后中的应用

免疫细胞浸润对癌症的诊断与预后有着重要意义。文中收集TCGA数据库已收录的非小细胞肺癌肿瘤与正常组织基因表达数据,利用CIBERSORT工具得到22种免疫细胞占比来评估免疫细胞浸润情况。以22种免疫细胞占比为特征,用机器学习方法构建了非小细胞肺癌肿瘤与正常组织的分类模型,其中随机森林方法构建的模型分类效果AUC=0.987、敏感性0.98及特异性0.84。并且用随机森林方法构建的肺腺癌和肺鳞癌肿瘤组织分类模型效果AUC=0.827、敏感性0.75及特异性0.77。用LASSO回归筛选22种免疫细胞特征,保留8种强相关特征组成的免疫细胞评分结合临床特征构建了非小细胞肺癌预后模型。经评估及验证,预后模型C-index=0.71并且3年和5年的校准曲线拟合良好,可以对预后风险度进行准确预测。本研究基于免疫细胞浸润所构建的分类模型与预后模型,旨在对非小细胞肺癌的诊断与预后研究提供新的策略。     

The role of YTH domain containing 2 in epigenetic modification and immune infiltration of pan-cancer

YTH domain containing 2 (YTHDC2) is the largest N6-Methyladenosine (m⁶A) binding protein of the YTH protein family and the only member containing ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity. For further analysing its biological role in epigenetic modification, we comprehensively explored YTHDC2 from gene expression, genetic alteration, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, immune infiltration, diagnostic value and prognostic value in pan-cancer, using a series of databases and bioinformatic tools. We found that YTHDC2 with Missense mutation could cause a different prognosis in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), and its different methylation level could lead to a totally various prognosis in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and UCEC. The main molecular mechanisms of YTHDC2 focused on catalytic activity, helicase activity, snRNA binding, spliceosome and mRNA surveillance. Additionally, YTHDC2 was notably correlated with tumour immune infiltration. Moreover, YTHDC2 had a high diagnostic value for seven cancer types and a prognostic value for brain lower grade glioma (LGG), rectum adenocarcinoma (READ) and skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). Collectively, YTHDC2 plays a significant role in epigenetic modification and immune infiltration and maybe a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis in certain cancers.     

筋膜切开减压术治疗挤压综合征家兔模型的实验研究

目的:观察筋膜切开减压术在挤压综合征家兔模型的治疗中能否起到积极作用,并指导临床救治工作。方法:选取健康成年新西兰家兔(不分雌雄)70只。随机分为未行切开减压的实验对照组(10只)和切开减压组(即减压组60只),2组均在挤压4 h后解压,减压组根据解压后行筋膜切开减压时间将其分为6个亚组(每个亚组10只):即刻切开组(0 h)、2 h后切开组、4 h后切开组、6 h后切开组、8 h后切开组及10 h后切开组,分别标为A-F组,对照组设为G组;测量A-G组挤压4 h后及减压组(A-F组)减压术后第2 h、6 h、12 h的静脉血,检测血BUN、Cr、AST、ALT、CK、CK-MB、K~+、Ca~(2+)、MYO等生化指标;24小时后取挤压处的肌肉、肾脏、肝脏、心肌并立即做切片处理,并在光镜下进行检测分析。结果:两组挤压后4 h血BUN、Cr、AST、ALT、CK、CK-MB、K+、Ca2+、MYO差异无统计学意义(P0.05);两组资料具有可比性。挤压伤组与对照组在各时间点生化指标差异均无统计学差异(P0.05);各亚组之间在相同时刻生化指标也无统计学差异(P0.05)。各亚组内随时间变动其BUN、Cr、AST、ALT、CK、CK-MB指标均呈上升趋向;而差异K~+、Ca~(2+)、MYO指标呈下降趋势;有统计学意义(P0.05),有一定的时间依赖性。结论:早期行筋膜切开减压术在挤压综合征家兔模型的早期治疗中无明显的疗效;筋膜切开减压术并不可以改善患机体全身多脏器损伤情况。     

真空渗入转化法中农杆菌在植株体内的分布和活力变化

以真空渗入处理后的白菜植株为材料,采用组织化学染色法和细菌平板培养的方法,研究了农杆菌在植株体内的分布特点及其活力变化。结果表明：不同器官中农杆菌的分布量不同,以花器官中分布最多,叶中次之,茎中最少;农杆菌存在于细胞间隙中,维管束及其周围分布较集中,在胚珠中大量分布。处理后植株体内,各器官中农杆菌的生活力及其数量都随时间延长而减少,但是花器官中的农杆菌存活量较大,处理15d后的花蕾中仍然有一定量(约10.3个CFU/g组织)具有活力的农杆菌存在。讨论了这些研究结果在揭示真空渗入转化法的转化过程和提高转化频率中的意义。
