GLP机构档案室的建立和管理与科研档案管理之比较

档案的建立和管理在药物非临床安全性评价和科学研究中都起到非常重要的作用。我们通过查阅文献发现,关于GLP机构档案管理的文献综述极少,涉及到将它与科研档案管理作系统全面的比较的文章是没有的。现从资料档案保存机构的硬件设施、档案管理规范和应注意的问题3个方面详细介绍了资料档案管理的相关规定和经验,并将GLP档案管理规范与科研档案管理规范作比较,我们根据国家档案局发布的《科学技术研究档案管理暂行规定》和7年GLP档案管理经验以及多次国家食品药品监督管理局(SFDA)认证现场检查的经历,总结出两者在功能实现、硬件设施、温湿度要求、档案防护、制定SOP、档案管理人员资质、各方人员职责、归档范围、归档形式、资料档案的接收与审查、归档时间、保管期限、借阅返还规定、资料的书写规范性、进出记录和电子文件的保存这16个方面的异同之处,突出GLP档案管理规范的特点和重点。通过这一深入全面的比较分析,得出GLP档案管理更加明确、具体、细致和可操作。     

A simple peak detection and label-free quantitation algorithm for chromatography-mass spectrometry

Background

Label-free quantitation of mass spectrometric data is one of the simplest and least expensive methods for differential expression profiling of proteins and metabolites. The need for high accuracy and performance computational label-free quantitation methods is still high in the biomarker and drug discovery research field. However, recent most advanced types of LC-MS generate huge amounts of analytical data with high scan speed, high accuracy and resolution, which is often impossible to interpret manually. Moreover, there are still issues to be improved for recent label-free methods, such as how to reduce false positive/negatives of the candidate peaks, how to expand scalability and how to enhance and automate data processing. AB3D (A simple label-free quantitation algorithm for Biomarker Discovery in Diagnostics and Drug discovery using LC-MS) has addressed these issues and has the capability to perform label-free quantitation using MS1 for proteomics study.

Results

We developed an algorithm called AB3D, a label free peak detection and quantitative algorithm using MS1 spectral data. To test our algorithm, practical applications of AB3D for LC-MS data sets were evaluated using 3 datasets. Comparisons were then carried out between widely used software tools such as MZmine 2, MSight, SuperHirn, OpenMS and our algorithm AB3D, using the same LC-MS datasets. All quantitative results were confirmed manually, and we found that AB3D could properly identify and quantify known peptides with fewer false positives and false negatives compared to four other existing software tools using either the standard peptide mixture or the real complex biological samples of Bartonella quintana (strain JK31). Moreover, AB3D showed the best reliability by comparing the variability between two technical replicates using a complex peptide mixture of HeLa and BSA samples. For performance, the AB3D algorithm is about 1.2 - 15 times faster than the four other existing software tools.

Conclusions

AB3D is a simple and fast algorithm for label-free quantitation using MS1 mass spectrometry data for large scale LC-MS data analysis with higher true positive and reasonable false positive rates. Furthermore, AB3D demonstrated the best reproducibility and is about 1.2- 15 times faster than those of existing 4 software tools.

土壤有机质模型的比较分析

土壤有机质作为土壤C库,其含量和动态变化对全球C循环、土壤肥力、土壤质量和健康起着重要作用。SOM模型利用经验性的假设和已有数据对土壤有机质含量和动态变化进行模拟,尤其是可以对无法取得足够必要数据的试验进行模拟,所以SOM模型成为定量研究土壤有机质积累分解的重要手段,利用SOM模型有助于对土壤有机质分解机理的研究,并且可通过SOM模型对土壤CO2排放量、植物生产量进行预测。同时也可对农业管理措施做出评估,文中对几种SOM模型进行了概述,尤其对有影响的RothC模型和CENTURY模型进行了比较分析。     

山东滨海盐生植物根结构及通气组织的比较研究

对山东滨海14种盐生植物的根及根中的通气组织进行了解剖不的比较研究。研究表明：除了少数植物的根中产生发达的机械组织,通气组织不发达以外,绝大多数植物的根中都具有发达的通气组织。这些通气组织的胞间隙非常明显,形成多个通气道,特别是一些根状茎,平卧茎发达的植物,如沙滩黄芩（Scutellaria strigillosa Heml.),海边香豌豆(Lathyrus maritimus(L.)Bigel.）,肾叶打碗花（Calystegia,soldanella(L.)R.Br.),其通气道较大。胞间隙的发生主要有二种情况;（1）裂生胞间隙;（2）溶生胞间隙,这是大多数胞间隙形成的方式。通气组织大多分布于靠近表皮的皮层和靠近周皮的次生韧怪部中,即位于保护组织的内侧。     

七种圈养鹤的部分血液生化指标分析

为探索圈养鹤类的血液生化指标差异,本研究对白鹤(Grus leucogeranus)、丹顶鹤(G.japonensis)、黑冠鹤(Balearica pavonina)、黑颈鹤(G.nigricollis)、灰冠鹤(B.regulorum)、蓝鹤(Anthropoides paradiseus)和白枕鹤(G.vipio)的10项血液生化指标(总胆固醇、甘油三酯、总蛋白、白蛋白、球蛋白等)进行统计分析,并与国际物种信息系统(ISIS)提供的数据进行比较。结果表明,1)不同鹤类之间总胆固醇差异显著,而甘油三酯和血糖没有显著性差异,除了黑冠鹤和灰冠鹤的总胆固醇以及蓝鹤的血糖外,其余鹤类的常值均高于ISIS的平均值。2)不同鹤类之间的总蛋白、球蛋白和白蛋白的浓度差异显著,但总蛋白、球蛋白和白蛋白均在ISIS的正常范围内。3)不同鹤类间肌酐和尿酸不具有显著性差异,其中尿酸低于ISIS平均值,但仅尿素氮差异显著。不同鹤类之间血液生化指标存在差异,与圈养鹤的营养水平和环境有关。因此血液生化指标对于圈养鹤类营养状态和健康情况的判断具有重要参考价值,对圈养动物饲养管理具有重要的指导作用。

Study of tauopathies by comparing <Emphasis Type="Italic">Drosophila</Emphasis> and human <Emphasis Type="Italic">tau</Emphasis> in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Drosophila</Emphasis>

The microtubule-binding protein tau has been investigated for its contribution to various neurodegenerative disorders. However, the findings from transgenic studies, using the same tau transgene, vary widely among different laboratories. Here, we have investigated the potential mechanisms underlying tauopathies by comparing Drosophila (d-tau) and human (h-tau) tau in a Drosophila model. Overexpression of a single copy of either tau isoform in the retina results in a similar rough eye phenotype. However, co-expression of Par-1 with d-tau leads to lethality, whereas co-expression of Par-1 with h-tau has little effect on the rough eye phenotype. We have found analogous results by comparing larval proteomes. Through genetic screening and proteomic analysis, we have identified some important potential modifiers and tau-associated proteins. These results suggest that the two tau genes differ significantly. This comparison between species-specific isoforms may help to clarify whether the homologous tau genes are conserved.
