气候变化和人类活动对中国北方旱区植被变绿的定量贡献

气候变化和大规模的生态恢复使中国北方旱区植被发生了显著变化，量化气候变化和人类活动对植被动态的相对贡献，对于旱区生态系统管理和应对未来气候变化具有重要意义。目前，中国北方旱区植被变化影响因素的时间动态（2000年大规模生态恢复工程实施前后）和空间异质性（沿干旱梯度）仍需进一步的定量研究。基于多源数据，采用趋势分析、偏相关分析和随机森林模型等方法，分析了1981-2018年中国北方旱区气候和植被的时空变化规律，量化了2000年前后气候变化和人类活动对植被动态的相对贡献并分析其在干旱梯度上的空间差异性。结果表明：（1）1981-2018年期间，中国北方旱区的叶面积指数（LAI）平均增加速率为（0.0037±0.0443） a^-1，且增加速率沿干旱梯度增大。2000年前仅10.46%（P<0.05）的地区显著变绿，而2000年后达到36.84%，且植被变绿主要归因于非树木植被。（2）2000年后降水对植被变绿的正效应在不同干旱梯度均增加，而在半干旱区和亚湿润干旱区，温度对植被变绿由正向促进转为负向抑制，而辐射在干旱区由负效应转向正效应。（3）2000年前后，气候变化均主导着植被的动态，贡献率分别为96.07%和73.72%，人类活动的贡献在2000年后进一步增强（从3.93%增加到26.28%），且沿着干旱梯度而增加，其中人类活动对植被变绿的贡献在半干旱地区增加最显著（+0.0289 m² m^-2 a^-1，P<0.05）。研究结果可为未来气候变化下中国北方旱区的植被恢复和可持续发展提供科学依据。

Cleavage of territrems by alkaline hydrogen peroxide: Isolation and characterization of the aromatic moiety of territrems

The chemical reaction of cleavaging territrem B to give 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzoic acid by alkaline hydrogen peroxide was investigated. The method was applied for confirmation of the chemical structure of the aromatic moiety of territrem A, A’, B, and B’. The physicochemical properties of the aromatic cleavage product of territrem Aindicated the structure as 3,4-methylendioxy, 5-methoxy benzoic acid (or 4-methoxy, 6-carboxy, 1, 3-benzodioxole). The experiment also gave the evidences that territrem A and A’, on the other hand territrem B and B’ have the identical aromatic moieties on their structures.     

Sequence analysis of the 17-kilodalton-antigen gene from Rickettsia rickettsii.

DNA obtained from the Sheila Smith strain of Rickettsia rickettsii was digested to completion with the restriction endonucleases BamHI and SalI and ligated with the plasmid vector pUC19. The ligation mixture was used to transform Escherichia coli. A total of 465 bacterial clones were screened for antigen production with hyperimmune rabbit serum. One of the reactive clones, containing a recombinant plasmid designated pSS124, was solubilized and subjected to immunoblot analysis and revealed expression of a 17-kilodalton protein reactive with anti-R. rickettsii serum that comigrated with an antigen from R. rickettsii. A 1.6-kilobase PstI-BamHI fragment from pSS124 was subcloned and continued to direct synthesis of the 17-kilodalton antigen. The nucleotide sequence was determined for this 1.6-kilobase subclone, which encompassed the gene encoding the polypeptide as well as flanking regions containing potential regulatory sequences. The open reading frame consisted of 477 nucleotides that specified a 159-amino-acid protein with a calculated molecular weight of 16,840. The deduced amino acid sequence contained a hydrophobic sequence near the amino terminus that resembled signal peptides described for E. coli. The carboxy terminus was hydrophilic in nature and probably contained the exposed epitopes.     

Functional competency of T cell antigen receptors in human thymus

The T cell antigen receptor is likely to play a role in both positive and negative selection in the thymus. Three populations of thymocytes can be distinguished by the level of expression of the CD3-alpha/beta-chain heterodimer of the T cell antigen receptor (CD3/Ti alpha/beta) complex. Cells which fail to express these receptors or express low levels of receptors are contained in a population of thymocytes which express low levels of the CD5 antigen and are predominantly CD4+/CD8+. Thus, these cells appear to be relatively immature phenotypically. In contrast, the cells which express high levels of CD3/Ti alpha/beta co-express high levels of CD5 and are predominantly contained in the more mature single positive cells which express either CD4 or CD8. With the calcium-sensitive dye, Indo-1, and immunofluorescence, we demonstrated that, despite the relative phenotypic immaturity of cells which express low levels of CD3/Ti alpha/beta, these antigen receptors are able to mediate transmembrane signaling when stimulated with CD3 monoclonal antibodies. Although increases in calcium were observed in these CD3/Ti alpha/beta-low expressing cells in response to anti-CD3, no proliferative response was observed, even in the presence of phorbol myristate acetate. Proliferative responses were observed in the more mature cells which express high levels of CD3/Ti alpha/beta. These results suggest that, rather than a defect in the functional capability of the antigen receptor complex to mediate transmembrane signaling events, cellular responses to signals generated by the antigen receptor may differ at various stages of thymocyte development.

[D丙~6,脯~9乙基胺]-促黄体素释放激素LH-RHA对妊娠兔子宫内膜多聚核糖体mRNA的作用

本实验制备了非孕兔、孕兔和绐孕兔注射高剂量[D丙‘,脯’乙基胺]-促黄体素释放激素(LH-RH A)不同天数的子宫内膜多聚核糖体,并从多聚核糖体提取mRNA,在网织红细胞无细胞翻译系统中测定了活性。结果指出用LH-RH A处理后多聚核糖体mRNA量减少,其翻译活性降低,在体内实验中核糖体mRNA诱导兔子宫分秘蛋白的合成也受到抑制,特别是分子量大约为22,000和69,000左右的分泌蛋白合成受到明显抑制。
