低浓度氢清除法测定大鼠局部脑血流量

利用氢清除法测量动物局部脑血流量已被广泛应用于研究中。本文采用低于爆炸范围下限的３％Ｈ２浓度,它可以与任何比例的氮氧气体安全混合,且可避免吸纯氢期间的短暂缺氧,更为严格地控制了实验条件,增加了安全和准确性。本工作对吸１００％Ｈ２和吸３％Ｈ２以及吸３％Ｈ２１－１．５ｍｉｎ和吸３％Ｈ２５ｍｉｎ测得脑血流量分析作了比较,结果表明短期低浓度氢清除法能较好地反映动物的局部脑血流量。     

Chloroplast DNA restriction site variation in theVernonieae (Asteraceae), an initial appraisal of the relationship of New and Old World taxa and the monophyly ofVernonia

Chloroplast DNA restriction site variation was examined for 35 taxa in theVernonieae and four outgroup tribes, using 17 restriction enzymes mapped for ca. 900 restriction sites per species; 139 mutations were found to be phylogenetically informative. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using Wagner and weighted parsimony, and evaluated by bootstrap and decay analyses. Relationships of Old and New World taxa indicate complex geographical relationships; there was no clear geographic separation by hemisphere. The relationships between Old and New World Vernonias found here support prior morphological analyses. The sister group to all New and most Old World taxa was composed of a small group of Old World species including yellow-flowered, trinervate-leaved species previously postulated to be basal in the tribe. The majority of both New and Old World taxa are derived from a lineage beginning with the monotypic genusStokesia, an endemic of the southeastern United States. The genusVernonia was also found to be paraphyletic within both the New and Old World. Available data do not support either the separation ofVernonia or the tribeVernonieae into geographically distinct lineages. The pattern of relationships within theVernonieae for taxa from North America, Asia, Africa, Central and South America is most similar to that of several other groups of both plants and animals with a boreotropical origin, rather than an origin in Gondwanaland. Such a pattern of distribution suggests more ancient vicariant events than are routinely postulated for theAsteraceae.

Inspection and evaluation of host plant by the butterfly Mechanitis lysimnia (Nymph., Ithomiinae) before laying eggs: a mechanism to reduce intraspecific competition

Parasites of all kinds affect the behaviour of their hosts, often making them more susceptible to predators. The associated loss in expected future reproductive success of infected hosts will vary among individuals, with younger ones having more lose than older ones. For this reason, young hosts would benefit more by opposing the effects of parasites than old ones. In a laboratory study, the effects of the trematode Telogaster opisthorchis on the anti-predator responses of the upland bully (Gobiomorphus breviceps) and of the common river galaxias (Galaxias vulgaris) were examined in relation to fish age. In a bully population where parasites were very abundant, the magnitude of the fish's anti-predator responses decreased as the number of parasites per fish increased, and this effect was significantly more pronounced in age 2 + and, to a lesser extent, age 3 + fish than in age 1 + fish. In another bully population where parasites were 10 times less abundant, similar effects were noticeable but not significant, whereas no effects of parasites on the responses of galaxiids to predators were apparent. Differences in the abundance of parasites and in their sites of infection in fish may explain the variability among host populations or species. However, in the bully population with high parasite abundance, parasitism has age-dependent effects on responses to predators, providing some support for the prediction that young fish with high expected future reproductive success invest more energy into opposing the effects of parasites than do older fish.     

Contrasting litter effects on old field tree germination and emergence

Because the fate of seeds is critical to understanding the invasion of old fields by trees, and plant litter is an important component defining the old field microsite of dispersed seeds, I investigated the effects of litter type (Solidago spp./goldenrod,Quercus spp./oak, mixed) and litter amount (100–800 g/m²) on tree seed germination and seedling emergence. I found that at all densities bothSolidago andQuercus litter greatly reduced emergence of the small-seeded, bird-dispersed species,Juniperus virginiana andCornus florida. For one of the large-seeded, mammal-dispersed species,Carya tomentosa, high densitySolidago litter and high density mixed litter treatments reduced emergence. For the other large-seeded species,Quercus rubra, the high density mixed litter treatment and all levels ofSolidago litter reduced emergence.Quercus seedlings emerged twice as often as the other three species in control pots without litter.Carya emerged before the other species but the high density oak treatment delayed the expansion of its cotyledons. My results suggest that litter may contribute to the slow rate of tree invasion and the low probability of tree establishment in old fields. However, old field litter studies taken together point to the difficulty in drawing general conclusions about any net effect of litter on old field tree establishment.

内皮素对失血性休克鼠脑微循环的影响及尼莫地平、川芎嗪的治疗作用

利用大鼠颅骨开窗观察软脑膜微循环的方法研究了内皮素（ＥＴ－１）１０－１０－１０－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ对软脑膜微循环的影响以及失血性休克时软脑膜对ＥＴ－１的反应性。并用１０－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ造成失血性休克后脑血管痉挛的模型,观察尼莫地平、川芎嗪、６５４－２对内皮素引起血管痉挛的治疗作用。１０－９、１０－８和１０－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ３种浓度ＥＴ－１可使软脑膜小动脉、细动脉强烈收缩,收缩率分别为２７．７％、４６．８％、７８．５％,其收缩强度与ＥＴ－１的浓度有关。对静脉的作用不明显。１０－１０ｍｏｌ／ＬＥＴ－１可使细动脉轻度扩张。出血性休克时,软脑膜血流明显减慢,小动脉、细动脉管径对ＥＴ－１的收缩作用更敏感,脑组织血流明显减少。尼莫地平具有较好的拮抗ＥＴ－１引起软脑膜动脉的收缩和改善局部微循环的作用。川芎嗪也能拮抗ＥＴ－１引起软脑膜动脉的收缩,但作用较尼莫地平弱。６５４－２不能缓解ＥＴ－１对软脑膜动脉的收缩作用。
