9种针阔叶幼树的蒸腾速率、叶水势与环境因子关系的研究

应用QK-1气孔仪和压力室测定了樟子松、青杨等9种针阔叶幼树的蒸腾速率与其叶水势及与环境因子的关系。采用多元线性回归和逐步回归对观测值的统计分析结果表明:在土壤供水良好的条件下,其蒸腾速率主要受气象因子的影响,与其叶水势的相关性不显著。控水试验结果表明:在水分胁迫条件下其蒸腾速率与其叶水势和土壤含水量的相关性最显著。     

生态因子对中药甘草质量影响的初步研究

甘草是一种常用中药,由于具有“调和诸药”之功效而成为方剂中最常用的一味药。古有“十方九草”之说,可见对甘草的需求量之大;目前,对甘草的需求不仅仅限于医药界,在食品、轻工、畜牧等行业也有广泛的应用。然而,由于长期滥采、滥挖,只挖不种,使得甘草的蕴藏量急剧下降,有些地区的甘草资源濒临枯竭。例如,东北松嫩平原,原是我国“东草”商品的主产区之一,并大量出口国外,     

利用带有原核增强子样序列的新型载体在大肠杆菌中高效表达人α肿瘤坏死因子

将去除信号肽的人肿瘤坏死因子-α(Tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)cDNA插入到带有原核增强子样序列Px的新型表达载体pBV320中,使TNF cDNA 5′端直接置于大肠杆菌trp启动子下游,采用37℃恒温培养,使TNF在大肠杆菌中获得了高效表达,表达活性达1.35(±0.17)×10~6U/L菌液。表达的TNF-α对L929细胞的毒性作用可被抗人肿瘤坏死因子-α的单克隆抗体所中和。表达菌裂解液作SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳,显示有一条分子量与TNF分子量吻合、约为17000道尔顿的蛋白带。利用DEAE-Sepharose阴离子交换层析及Sephacryl S-200凝胶过滤对上述重组人TNF-α进行纯化,获得电泳纯产品,比活性为1.48×10~6U/mg。     

中华眼镜蛇蛇毒因子(CVF)对补体系统的作用及与人补作C_3和其他蛇毒抗原性关系

中华眼镜蛇蛇毒经DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B。HPLC等多次柱层析分离出有抗补体及溶血活性的眼镜蛇蛇毒因子(Cobra venom factor,CVF),纯化后的CVF在聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳图谱上呈单一区带,分子量为225000—230000,等电点为6.20。用二硫苏糖醇还原经SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳得三类亚基,其分子量总和为237,000。 体外抗补体及溶血试验表明,CVF的作用是通过补体旁路途经使总补体活力下降。双向免疫电泳鉴定,发现CVF与人血清作用后,其中补体成分C_3分子的抗原性发生改变,则表明CVF的作用是通过激活补体成分C_3而发挥的。给豚鼠腹腔注射CVF(0.15ug/g体重)后,其血清总补体水平下降到正常值的3％以下,7天后回升,13天后恢复到正常水平。 单相免疫电泳表明,CVF与人补体C_3抗血清间无任何交叉免疫反应,但人血清与CVF抗血清间有微弱的免疫沉淀反应。另外,CVF的氨基酸组成与人补体C_3也较为相似。鉴定还表明眼镜蛇科中四种蛇毒与CVF抗血清有强烈的免疫沉淀反应,蝰蛇毒及海蛇毒也有免疫沉淀反应,但只有眼镜蛇毒具有抗补体活性。     

心房钠泵因子对颈动脉窦压力感受器反射的易化作用

Effects of atriopeptin II (APII) on the carotid sinus baroreflex in anesthetized rats and on the sinus nerve afferent activity in the anesthetized rabbits were investigated. The results were as follows: (1) By perfusing the isolated left carotid sinus with APII (1 microgram/ml) in anesthetized rats (n = 10), the threshold pressure (TP) of the carotid baroreflex did not show any change, while the equilibrium pressure (EP), the saturation pressure (SP) and the operating range (OR) were decreased from 101 +/- 2.8 to 95 +/- 2.0 mmHg (P less than 0.05), 202 +/- 5.2 to 168 +/- 6.1 mmHg (P less than 0.001) and 128 +/- 5.5 to 93 +/- 6.3 mmHg (P less than 0.001), respectively. The function curve of the baroreflex was shifted to the left and downward with a peak slope (PS) increased during perfusing with APII. In contrast, by perfusing the carotid sinus with sodium nitroprusside (NP, 0.5 micrograms/ml), TP and EP remained unchanged, whereas SP and OR were increased from 188 +/- 6.4 to 218 +/- 6.0 mmHg (n = 6, P less than 0.01) and from 107 +/- 6.9 to 132 +/- 7.6 mmHg (P less than 0.05), respectively. The function curve of the baroreflex and its PS were not affected by NP. The sinus nerve afferent activity was quite stable with the perfusion of carotid sinus at constant intrasinus pressure (ISP) in the rabbits (n = 6) and increased during the elevation of ISP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

α—人心房钠尿因子对离体豚鼠心肌收缩力和动作电位...

The effect of alpha-hANF on contractile force and action potential duration (APD) of isolated myocardium in guinea pig was investigated. At the level of 20 nmol/L and 40 nmol/L alpha-hANF, the contraction amplitude and rate of contraction phase decreased to a remarkable extent. And at 40 nmol/L, APDs were shortened significantly 20 min after alpha-hANF. The results suggest that there exists a direct inhibitory effect of alpha-hANF on myocardial contractile force and action potential duration.     

Interleukin—1β对促卵泡生成素（FSH）诱导大鼠...

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), one of the polypeptide lymphokines released in response to antigen, toxins, injury or inflammation by nearly all cell types, has multiple systemic effects. In the present study the effect of IL-1 beta on follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-induced estrogen production in primary culture was investigated. Granulosa cells obtained from immature estrogen-treated female rats were cultured for 3 days with increasing doses of FSH (1-30 ng/ml) with or without increasing doses of IL-1 beta (2-20 U/ml). The FSH stimulated estrogen production is dose-dependent, whereas IL-1 beta alone did not affect estrogen biosynthesis. In contrast, simultaneous treatment with IL-1 beta caused a dose-dependent inhibition of FSH action. This inhibitory effect of IL-1 beta was evident 48 h after the treatment. Furthermore, IL-1 beta inhibited forskolin (10(-5) mmol/L) and (Bu)2 cAMP (10(-2) mmol/L)-stimulated estrogen production, indicating a post-cyclic AMP site of action. The present study suggests that IL-1 beta is a potent modulator of granulosa cell steroidogenesis. Decreased estrogen formation may contribute to the follicle atresia and the impaired reproductive functions during injury and inflammation.     

豚鼠冰水游泳应激后血浆、肾上腺髓质和脑内组织的亮—脑啡肽含量变化

豚鼠冰水游泳应激3min后,用放射免疫法测定血浆、肾上腺髓质和脑内三个脑区组织的亮—脑啡肽(Leu-enkephalin,LEK,)含量和血浆的血管紧张肽Ⅱ(Angiotensin Ⅱ,ATⅡ)浓度变化。结果表明:在冰水中游泳应激组豚鼠的血浆、肾上腺髓质、下丘脑和纹状体组织的LEK含量和血浆的ATⅡ浓度,均较对照组豚鼠明显升高(P值均<0.01)。提示:豚鼠在冰水中紧张、剧烈游泳后,可能激活了中枢神经和周围组织内的脑啡肽能神经元和血管紧张肽原酶—血管紧张肽Ⅱ系统,从而促进LEK和ATⅡ的释放增加。
