消炎痛及PGF_(2α)对在体培养人子宫内膜出血的影响

利用甾体激素撤退方法造成移植在地鼠颊囊内人子宫内膜出血的动物模型,研究消炎痛和PGF_(2a)对内膜出血的作用。结果表明,注射三种不同剂量消炎痛并不能完全抑制内膜出血,但对内膜出血时间有延缓作用。用两种不同剂量的PGF_(2a)采取缓慢释放给药方法,虽然地鼠在给药后外周血液中PGF_(2a)水平比给药前显著增高,但内膜出血并不出现在撤退甾体激素之前。结果提示,PGF_(2a)对内膜血管破裂无直接作用,而纤溶活性变化可能是触子宫内膜出血更直接的原因。     

根田鼠静止代谢率特征的研究

通过实地测定分布于青海高原的根田鼠的RMR,发现其RMR水平明显高于与其体重相似的其它田鼠,而平均最小热传导值并不比后者低,说明可能是以保持高的RMR水平来适应高原寒冷气候的。同时发现,根田鼠以化学体温调节为主,以适应高原气温较大的波动。     

慢性蜜蜂麻痹病病毒核酸与蛋白质组分的研究

从自然感染的意大利麻痹病蜂(APis mellifera)头部,经二次差速离心与蔗糖梯度离心获得纯化的慢性蜜蜂麻痹病病毒(CBPV)。纯化的CBPV制备物感染正常蜜蜂,4天后出现典型的麻痹症状,接着死亡,平均死亡率分别为95％与100％。SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析,二次差速离心初步纯化的病毒制备物含有多条蛋白带,而蔗糖密度梯度纯化的病毒制备物仅含有单一的多肽带。5％、7.5％与10％SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析,均检测出一种病毒蛋白质,分子量大约为24,200道尔顿,而且不同凝胶浓度检测的蛋白质分子量相近。慢性蜜蜂麻痹病病毒核酸也用SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析,结果表明,凝胶中有5条带,对核酸酶敏感,证明该病毒含有5个单股RNA组分。对慢性蜜蜂麻痹病病毒的基因组结构进行了讨论。     

Specific binding of three neurotoxins with phospholipase A2 activity to synaptosomal membrane preparations from the guinea pig brain

Snake presynaptic toxins such as crotoxin, β-bungarotoxin and taipoxin block neuromuscular transmission through inhibiting the release of acetylcholine by their phospholipase A₂ activities. On the other hand, many other phospholipase A₂s show little neurotoxicity. It is likely that the difference lies in whether high affinity binding to nerve cell membranes exists or not. To test this idea, crotoxin, β-bungarotoxin and taipoxin were first radioactively labeled with Na(¹²⁵I) without loss of their neurotoxicity. Using the radioactive toxins we have found that each of the three showed specific binding to synaptosomal membranes from guinea pig brain. In contrast, we could not detect specific binding of a non-neurotoxic pancreatic phospholipase A₂. Crotoxin and taipoxin, but not β-bungarotoxin, also bound specifically to membrane preparation from other tissues. The binding of each toxin was not greatly affected by the other two toxins. The photoaffinity labeling technique has been used to obtain further information about the components which bind crotoxin. For this purpose, (¹²⁵I) crotoxin was derivatized with N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate. Autoradiographic analysis of the membranes following photoirradiation in the presence of the modified crotoxin revealed that an 85K dalton component was preferentially covalently conjugated with the crotoxin analogue in a specific manner.     

Uptake of free amino acids by the diatom,Melosira mediocris

Individual ¹⁴C-labelled amino acids are rapidly removed from dilute solution in artificial sea water (0.2 mol 1^–1) by suspensions of Meliosira medocris. The rate of disappearance of radioactivity corresponds closely to removal of primary amines as determined by measurement of the rate of decrease of fluorescamine-positive material. Net removal of naturally occurring free amino acids from the sea water habitat from which the alga was isolated is demonstrated using high performance liquid chromatography. Removal of amino acids from natural sources makes a significant contribution to the carbon requirements of the alga as well as supplying significant amounts of amino nitrogen.     

犬冠状动脉阻力的胆碱能调节

本实验在麻醉开胸犬,采用冠状动脉左旋支恒流灌注,于搏动的和心室纤颤(VF)的心脏,研究了电刺激迷走神经(VNS)及冠状动脉内注入乙酰胆碱(ACh)对冠状动脉阻力的影响。当 VNS 和冠脉内给 ACh 时,(1)心肌内小冠状动脉阻力显著减低,而心外膜大冠状动脉阻力并无明显变化;(2)冠状动脉左旋支总阻力的减低幅度在 VF 的心脏比在搏动的心脏显著减小。以上结果表明,迷走-ACh 扩张冠脉的作用主要是舒张心肌内小冠状动脉,并可通过减低心肌收缩力而间接降低冠状动脉阻力。     

Population structure and dynamics of Pinus massoniana Lamb. on mount Jinyun,Sichuan, China

Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) is a pioneer in forest succession in the subtropics of East Asia. However, the species persits, though with decreasing abundance, throughout the various successional phases. Agestructure, spatial pattern, density, population biomass, and their dynamics are described for a population in Sichuan, China, on the basis of a census of all individuals in the population while substituting space with time. In the course of succession, the population density increases and its rate of growth decreases until self-thinning starts; during the phase of self-thinning density decrease and continues to decrease even afterwards, but the rate of growth increase markedly after self-thinning has stopped. The development of population biomass (Bp) during the early succession from shrub-grassland to the early stages of mixed pine and broad-leaved forest can be described by a logistic equation. Later, Bp decrease rapidly. These changes are governed partly by inherent biological features of P. massoniana and partly by the invasion, establishment and development of shade-tolerant evergreen broad-leaved trees. Both self- and alien-thinning occur. Soil conditions affect the rates of these processes.     

迷走神经与乙酰胆碱对缩窄的犬冠状动脉节段阻力的影响

在麻醉开胸犬,用电起搏维持心率恒定,研究了电刺激颈迷走神经(VNS)及冠状动脉内注入乙酰胆碱(ACh)对缩窄的冠状动脉的节段阻力及血流量的影响。在左旋支主干造成不同程度的冠状动脉缩窄。分别测定左旋支血流量(CBF_(cx))、主动脉压和主旋支远端冠状动脉压,记录心电图。实验发现,在冠状动脉临界狭窄和重度狭窄时,VNS 或冠脉给ACh 引起心外膜大冠状动脉阻力及冠状动脉主旋支总阻力增大,CBF_(cx)减少;随着缩窄程度加重,这些改变也愈明显,然而,心肌内小冠状动脉阻力却无显著改变。     

家兔脑桥臂旁内侧核区微量注射吗啡对中缝大核区单位放电的影响

实验在62只家兔上进行。结果观察到,中缝大核(NRM)区562个单位中,有118个单位的自发放电频率低,放电比较规则,动作电位时程长,易被微电泳5-羟色胺所阻遏,称为A 组单位。其余444个单位的自发放电频率高,动作电位时程短,称为B 组单位。大多数 B组单位对微电泳5-羟色胺不起反应。脑桥臂旁内侧核(NPBM)区微量注射吗啡(200μg/2μl)或静脉注射吗啡(3mg/kg)后,20个A 组单位中有19个发生兴奋效应,而49个B 组单位中仅有29个发生兴奋效应,而且A组单位发生兴奋的程度也比B组单位的高。这些结果提示,NRM区的A 组单位可能是5-羟色胺神经元,吗啡对这些神经元有相对选择性的兴奋作用。 在另外11只家兔上,应用辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)逆行追踪技术观察到,NPBM 区与NRM 区有纤维联系。 本实验结果提示,静脉注射吗啡所致的呼吸抑制,可能与吗啡作用于 NPBM,通过纤维联系,引起NRM 5-羟色胺神经元兴奋有关。
