猕猴输精管注射高分子聚合物HFMC的抗生育试验初报

本文介绍一种高分子聚合物HFMC注入输精管,遇体液即合成有孔隙（孔径2-16 μ）的固态聚合物,附着管壁并缓慢释放适度的H[+],以改变精子存活环境,从而达到狒猴非阻断性的输精管避孕。在狒猴配对试验中证明,输精管注入HFMC 30 mg×2（n=2）,在注射后47-50天精液品质即逐渐恢复,已有致孕能力;输精管注入HFMC 60 mg×2（n=4）,在300天后,有些个体精液品质才逐渐恢复,注后348-353天之间已有50%的雄猴配对致孕;另有50%的雄猴在注入854天时精液品质仍处于不育水平。实验结果还表明：HFMC对精子具有致死,致畸率高及使精子活力显著下降,这种作用随HFMC剂量的增大而加强,这种影响也随时间的后移而逐渐减弱;HFMC对输精管具有可通性及可复性。今后如能在注入剂量,自溶稳定性方面再改进,HFMC有可能成为男性节育较为理想的一种新型避孕剂。     

绿茶抗氧化剂成分抑制突变作用的初步研究

绿茶水溶性提取物及茶叶中抗氧化剂成份具有明显的抑制AFB_1及Bap诱导的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌回复突变作用。这种抗氧化剂成份还可以抑制AFB_1和Bap诱导的V79细胞基因正向突变,以及AFB_1诱导的V79细胞SCE和染色体畸变。本实验结果提示,绿茶中抗氧化剂成份可能对AFB_1及Bap的致癌性具有抑制作用。本文就茶叶抗氧化剂抑制突变的可能机制进行了初步讨论。     

Antibodies to the alpha-subunit of insulin receptor from eggs of immunized hens

Simple methods for the generation, purification, and assay of antibodies to the alpha-subunit of insulin receptor from eggs of immunized hens have been described. Chicken antibodies against the alpha-subunit inhibit insulin binding to the receptor and stimulate glucose oxidation as well as autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit. Thus the properties of chicken antibodies are very similar to those of antibodies found in human autoimmune diseases and different from rabbit antibodies obtained against the same antigen.     

Studies on the mechanism of light-dependent germination of akinetes of blue-green algae

This paper deals with the role of light in the germination of akinetes of Anabaena azollae. The two maxima action spectra are situated at 385 and 615 nm and the stimulation of the germination process by photosynthate was confirmed. The photoreceptor absorbing at 385 nm was identified as a flavin and that at 615 nm as a phytochrome. A model is suggested for the mode of action of light in the germination of akinetes of blue-green algae.C. Tsui     

小儿副轮状病毒的检出

用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳法,从婴幼儿急性腹泻粪便中检出轮状病毒RNA电泳阳性293份,发现一株副轮状病毒(青-27株),此株病毒经电泳观察,呈典型的轮状病毒形态,但易破碎。ELISA检测表明不具有一般轮状病毒的特异性群抗原,病毒RNA基因组由11个片段组成,但电泳图型特殊,吴4:3:2:2排列模式,本文证实,此一小儿副轮状病毒与国外报道的,散发罕见的小儿副轮状病毒RNA电泳图型相同,提示此病毒的重要意义。     

Ti质粒T区tms基因的分离及其对高等植物分化的影响

根癌农杆菌Ti质粒的T区DNA带有致瘤基因,其基因1和基因2编码生长素吲哚乙酸生物合成途径中的两个酶。以pGV 354(pBR322质粒中插有Ti质粒C 58 T区DNA的HindⅢ15—HindⅢ22大片段)重组质粒出发,我们分离了基因1和基因2,并构建了带有卡那霉素抗性基因的重组质粒pBZ 692,通过基因载体pGV 3850,我们将基因1和基因2引入了高等植物。结果证明基因1和基因2能促使烟草、向日葵、土豆等转化组织分化长根,转化的根在MS_0培养基上能脱分化形成愈伤组织并自主生长,在转化的组织中有转化标记胭脂碱的存在。     

Improved maintenance of adult rat hepatocytes in a new serum-free medium in the presence or absence of barbiturates

Summary For serum-free primary culture of adult rat hepatocytes, a synthetic medium DM-160 and rat-tail collagen were selected for the basal medium and for the culture substratum, respectively. Barbiturates, such as phenobarbital and 1-ethyl-5-isobutylbarbiturate, efficiently supported survival of hepatocytes and maintained their morphologic features at lower concentrations under the serum-free conditions than under the serum-supplemented conditions. However, the hepatocyte survival rates under the serum-free conditions were lower than those under the serum-supplemented conditions in the presence or absence of barbiturates. Supplementation of the basal medium with a combination of five groups of factors (5Fs), such as eight amino acids (Ala, Arg, Gly, Ile, Met, Phe, Pro, and Trp), two unsaturated fatty acids (linoleate and oleate), a protease inhibitor (aprotinin), three vitamins (A, C, and E), and five trace elements (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Se), improved the hepatocyte survival under the serum-free conditions in the presence or absence of barbiturates. In other words, the serum could be completely substituted by the 5Fs. Hepatocyte cultures maintained in the 5Fs-suppelemented basal medium showed excellent induction of tyrosine aminotransferase activity in response to dexamethasone in the presence or absence of barbiturates. The efficiency of the 5Fs-supplemented basal medium for maintaining hepatocytes was not inferior to those of other media in common use with hepatocytes, such as Williams' medium E and Waymouth's medium MB-752/1. In conclusion, maintenance of functional hepatocytes in serum-free primary culture could be improved by use of the new medium preparation (the 5Fs-supplemented DM-160) in the presence of barbiturates. This work was supported by a grant no. 61771923 from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan.     

稀土元素对甜菜种子萌发,幼苗生长及块根产量的影响

本文研究了稀土元素对甜菜的生物效应。结果表明,稀土元素可显著地提高种子萌发率,促进幼苗生长,增加幼苗根系活力、叶片净光合速率与块根产量,并明显地降低了甜菜叶片细胞膜在低温下的透性,即提高了叶片的抗寒力。     

31例非特异性阴道炎病人阴道微生物群的研究

本文对31例非特异性阴道炎病人和31例正常人阴道微生物群进行定性、定量分析.结果表明,阴道炎病人的阴道乳杆菌的平均浓度明显低于正常人,而肠杆菌科、葡萄球菌、棒状杆菌、类杆菌属、支原体却明显增多,阴道炎病人未发现特异性病原体,菌群失调可能是其发病因素。乳杆菌为阴道正常优势菌,对改善阴道的微环境,防止条件致病菌引起的内源性感染具有重要的生理作用。
