红豆草根瘤侵染细胞的超微结构变化

红豆草(Onobrychis viciaefolia Scop.)是一种抗旱、耐寒、耐热和耐瘠薄的优良豆科牧草,不仅是很好的饲料和绿肥,而且还能大量结瘤固氮,提高土地肥力。因此,它在我国甘肃和其他北方干旱和半干旱贫瘠地区广为种植。虽然不少学者曾对它的引种条件、生产性能、营养成分和形态解剖作过许多研究,但对其共生固氮,特别是与共生固氮息息相关的根瘤在发育中的变化却至今尚无系统报道。因此,为了更好开发利用这一资源,     

椭圆斜羽叶的解剖研究及斜羽叶的系统分类位置

本文根据对椭圆斜羽叶(Plagiozamites oblongifolius)钙质石化化石的研究,认为其主要特征如下:羽状复叶,叶肉无海绵组织和栅栏组织分化。羽片叶脉维管束外韧式,木质部外始式,与现代苏铁属叶脉特征相近。羽轴维管束为“U”形,外始式木质部、梯状纹孔管胞,与现代苏铁属的羽轴维管束相似。根据上述特征,目前可将斜羽叶属归入原始苏铁类植物。但是,如果斜羽叶的生殖器官同 Noeggerathia 一样,为异孢型孢子囊穗,则斜羽叶可能为一种与苏铁类起源有关的原裸子植物。

豌豆根瘤侵染细胞衰老过程的电镜观察

用透射电镜观察了豌豆根瘤侵染细胞在衰老过程中的超微结构变化,结果表明,侵染细胞和拟菌体的衰老有一定的规律和特征,首先是一些包裹拟菌体的包囊变得疏松,包囊和拟菌体之间出现较大间隙,间隙中常有一些纤维状和泡状物质。然后,细胞质失去正常结构,逐渐凝聚为染色很深的团块,进而完全泡状化,伴随着拟菌体的衰老,寄主细胞质染色由深变浅,细胞器逐渐减少,最后,液泡和质膜相继破裂,细胞完全瓦解,有时在衰老细胞的胞间隙,或在衰老的细胞质中有一定年轻的细菌,甚至在一片崩溃的拟菌体中还有侵染丝,有的还正在向寄主细胞质释放细菌。     

Alzheimer's disease: study of the distribution of tau proteins constituting helical filament pairs in human central nervous tissue

Tau proteins are the major components of Paired Helical Filaments (PHF) of Alzheimer's disease. Using the immunoblot technique and an antiserum against PHF, we have studied the distribution of Tau proteins in the different areas of normal human brains and Alzheimer brains. Tau proteins were clearly present in cortical grey matter but were difficult to detect in the white matter. In Alzheimer brains, we observed two differences: first, there is an important background due to the partial dissociation of the lesions containing Tau aggregates. Second, the profile of Tau proteins is modified, due to abnormal phosphorylation. Thus, Tau proteins are found in large amounts in the grey matter of the cortical areas and are not exclusively distributed in the axonal domain. The normal cortical distribution of Tau in the human brain correlates well with the distribution of histological lesions that contain PHF (neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques) in the Alzheimer cortex.     

In situ hybridization using 32P labelled oligodeoxyribonucleotides for the cellular localisation of mRNA in neuronal and endocrine tissue

Summary Methodological variables for in situ hybridization using ³²P labelled oligodeoxyribonucleotides (oligomers) have been examined. Four different oligomers directed against proglucagon messenger RNA (mRNA) and two different oligomers against prosomatostatin mRNA have been used. Specific hybridization was obtained in adult rat brain, stomach and pancreas and in neonatal rat ileum. Tissue was perfusion fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde 0.2% glutaraldehyde and hybridization was carried out in 50% formamide for 72 h at 42° C. Using hybridization conditions of lower stringency (33% formamide) labelling was also obtained in guinea pig tissue. Other variables which affected hybridization signal intensity were the inclusion of a prehybridization dehydration stage, the probe concentration, the inclusion of ammonium acetate in the posthybridization dehydrating ethanols and in the autoradiographic emulsion, and the exposure time. The localisation of proglucagon mRNA in rat pancreas using a 20mer was used as a model tissue for testing these methodological variables and the results were found generally also to apply to the other probes and tissues tested. The methods described provide single cell resolution and show that ³²P labelled oligomers may be used to localise neuropeptide and endocrine mRNAs in different types of tissue and in different mammalian species.

Mobilization of calcium from intracellular stores as one of the mechanisms underlying the antiopioid effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide.

In enzymatically dissociated brain cells prepared from neonatal rats, KCl produced a significant increase in [Ca2+]i and this increase could be prevented by verapamil or nifedipine, known to block voltage-sensitive calcium channels. The opioid receptor agonists ohmefentanyl (OMF, mu agonist), [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE, delta agonist), and 66A-078 (kappa agonist) produced a marked suppression of the Ca2+ influx induced by high K+ depolarization. The suppressive effect of OMF, DPDPE, and 66A-078 on the high K(+)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was markedly reversed by their respective antagonists beta-funaltrexamine (beta-FNA), ICI174864, and nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI). Cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), at concentrations of 0.3, 3.0, and 30 nM, dose-dependently mobilized Ca2+ from intracellular stores. While CCK-8 30 nM did not affect significantly the increase of [Ca2+]i following high K+, it did reverse the suppression of the high K(+)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i by the mu agonist OMF and the kappa agonist 66A-078, but not that by the delta agonist DPDPE. The results suggested that while opioid ligands suppress [Ca2+]i by blocking voltage-operated Ca2+ influx, the antiopioid effect of CCK-8 seems to be operated via mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores.

Gastric effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone microinjected into the dorsal vagal nucleus in cats

We investigated the gastric acid secretory and motility responses to microinjection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) into the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) in anesthetized cats. Gastric acid output was collected every 15 min through a gastric cannula after saline flush and titrated to pH 7.0. Antral and corpus contractions were continuously recorded by extraluminal force transducers. TRH dissolved in 200 nl of saline and microinjected unilaterally into the DMV induced a dose-dependent (50-200 ng) increase in gastric acid secretion. The acid secretory response began in the first 15 min collection and lasted 45 min. TRH frequently increased the force of contractions of the antrum and corpus within one minute of microinjection. The minimal effective dose for eliciting increased motility was lower than for inducing acid secretion. These results demonstrate that TRH acts in the DMV of cats to stimulate gastric acid secretion and contractions.
