本文对山东枣庄市916人足放射片进行了足籽骨的观察与测量。发现每足有1-7个籽骨,其中二个者占77.8％,三个者占16.9％;籽骨位于跖骨头下方者占94.5％,位于趾间关节下方者占5.5％;各跖骨头籽骨出现率:Ⅰ占99.9％、Ⅱ占 2.2％、Ⅲ占0.3％、Ⅳ占0.5％、Ⅴ占6.4％;(足母)趾趾间关节籽骨占12.6％;二分及三分籽骨出现率占3.9％,明显低于欧美人。此外,本文认为籽骨是在先天籽骨原基基础上,加以后天运动的影响而形成。     

Zinc is a constituent of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase preparations

Cytochrome c oxidase preparations from bovine heart muscle contain 1 zinc per 2 irons. Metal contents of nine preparations determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) show that Cu, Fe and Zn are the only metals present in significant amounts with average Cu/Fe, Fe/Zn, and Cu/Zn atom ratios of 1.3, 2.1 and 2.8, respectively. Removal of adventitious copper results in a Cu:Fe:Zn stoichiometry of 2:2:1. The zinc is tightly bound. Dialysis against a solution of 1,10-phenanthroline at pH 7.4 or an acidic buffer (pH 4.4) does not remove Zn. Dialysis against 0.8 M KCN at pH 10 causes partial loss of both Cu and Zn. This is the first evidence for the presence of Zn in a cytochrome c oxidase.     

Pharmacokinetic study of exogenously administered ß-endorphin using a rapid radioreceptor assay in rats

A rapid radioreceptor assay for measuring ß-endorphin (ß-EP) in unextracted serum has been developed. The method is based upon the inhibition by ß-EP of ³H-naloxone binding to the specific receptors on rat brain membranes, prepared in a stable form of pellets. Effect of serum on the assay was minimized by adding pooled serum to the equal dilution of total serum in the assay mixture. Pharmacokinetic analysis of pharmacologically active ß-EP equivalents (ß-EP eq.) in rats was performed using this method. The serum disappearance of ß-EP eq. after iv administration followed a biexponential decline and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by a two-compartment open model. The half-lives of α-phase and ß-phase were 2.6 ± 0.5 min and 6.2 ± 1.6 hr (mean ± SE; n=6), respectively. The volume of the central compartment (V₁) and that of steady-state (Vd_ss) were 67 ± 16 and 480 ± 75 ml/kg (mean ± SE; n=6), respectively. The total body serum clearance (CL_tot) was 2.1 ± 0.9 ml/min/kg (mean ± SE; n=6). The serum disappearance curve of ß-EP eq. obtained in the present study was similar to that previously reported by Houghten et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. $\text{77}$, 4588–4591 (1980)), in which the disapperance of total radioactivity of tritiated ß-EP in rats was examined.     

G_2期后期染色质结构及染色体高级结构形成的研究

用适量BrdU处理中华大蟾蜍外周血淋巴细胞,能以较高频率得到形态多样的染色质(体)结构。本文以两栖类和人类细胞为材料,采用Feulgen染色、Ag-NOR染色、DAPI荧光染色及放射自显影等方法,证实了其染色质性质,初步讨论了其产生原因,并将其命名为:“G,期后期染色质”。在此基础上,进一步从形态学角度初步分析了从G_2期后期到M期染色质转变为染色体的动态过程,提出不同染色体形成其高级结构是非同步的,有可能存在染色体包裹顺序的设想。

图们江流域林区居民点鸟类群落的研究

居民点鸟类与人类关系极为密切,在居民点生态系统中起着不可忽视的作用,因此对其生态学的研究具有一定意义。杜恒勤(1958、1959)、周昌乔等(1959)、钱国桢(1964)、郑光美(1965、1982),赵正阶(1981)等,对麻雀、家燕、金腰燕等居民点鸟类进行过大量种群生态学研究。居民点鸟类群落研究和数量统计,尚未见有报道。     

似鳡属的系统地位及种的分化(鲤形目:鲤科)

似鳡属(Luciocyprinus Vaillant)是鲤科鱼类中属于鲃系(陈湘粦等,1984)的一个属,下咽齿3行,臀鳍无硬刺,具分枝鳍条5根。过去只记载一个种,外形很像鳡鱼,是由于摄食习性相同而导致的趋同现象(林人端,1981),故称似鳡,在广西俗称墨线鳡,云南俗称杆条鱼。分布于西江水系,包括云南中南部的湖泊,与鳡鱼分布于同一水系,但各占一定的水域,互不重叠。 关于似鳡的拉丁名称,惯用Fustis vivus Lin,是林书颜1932年定的新属新种,     

Endocytosis and degradation of native, cathepsin D-degraded, and glutathione-inactivated aldolase by perfused rat liver

The uptake and degradation of 125I-labeled (a) native aldolase, (b) cathepsin D-inactivated aldolase, and (c) aldolase inactivated by oxidized glutathione were studied in perfused rat liver. All three forms of aldolase were removed from the perfusion medium and degraded by the liver, but the uptake of the glutathione-inactivated enzyme (half-life in perfusate = 10 min) was much faster than that of the native enzyme (half-life = 30 min) or the cathepsin-inactivated enzyme (half-life = 42 min). The degradation of the enzyme was almost totally inhibited by leupeptin, indicating that thiol proteinases in lysosomes play an important role in the digestion process. Degradation of native and cathepsin D-inactivated aldolase appeared to be slower than that of the glutathione-inactivated enzyme but studies in which liver was preloaded with aldolase by perfusion at 19 degrees C and then warming to 37 degrees C indicated that the rate of degradation of all three forms was similar. It is concluded that the liver is capable of distinguishing between the glutathione-altered aldolase and native or partially degraded aldolase with regard to endocytosis, but that all three forms are degraded at similar rates once within lysosomes.     

Comparative kinetic studies of the dealkylation reaction and steroid hydroxylations in various oxygen and carbon monoxide:oxygen atmospheres

The time-course kinetics of the cytochrome P-450-catalyzed dealkylations of the exogenous compounds benzphetamine, ethylmorphine, codeine, and 7-ethoxycoumarin were compared to the hydroxylation of the endogenous compound testosterone. Using liver microsomes from phenobarbital-induced rats, the time course of the demethylations of ethylmorphine, codeine, and especially benzphetamine was characterized by a fast initial phase of enzymatic activity and then a steady decline in the rate throughout the remainder of the reaction. In contrast, under the same experimental conditions, both the dealkylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin and the hydroxylation of testosterone showed no initial fast phase of activity and a constant rate of product formation for most of the remainder of the time course. The difference also held for the carbon monoxide inhibition studies in which the degree of inhibition of the demethylation reactions by a variety of CO:O₂ mixtures was time dependent, in contrast to the constant, time-independent degree of CO inhibition of the other two reactions. The kinetics of the demethylation reactions could not be explained by enzyme destruction, back reaction, or product adduct formation and were further confirmed by measurements of the rate of O₂ utilization and NADPH oxidation. The complexity of the demethylation reaction should be taken into consideration in any detailed studies of the monooxygenation reaction system.
