天冬酰胺酶及PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶对L-天冬酰胺、谷氨酰胺亲和性的研究

本文报导了天冬酰胺酶及PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶对废物L-天冬酰胺、谷氨酰胺亲和性的研究,结果表明:PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶对谷氨酰胺的亲和性明显强于天冬酰胺酶(Km值分别为7.35×10~(-3)mol/L和7.14×10~(-2)mol/L),对天冬酰胺的亲和性略强于天冬酰胺酶(Km值分别为2.9×10~(-5)mol/L和4.0×10~(-5)mol/L)。天冬酰胺酶和PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶的CD光谱表明:天冬酰胺和谷氨酰胺对天冬酰胺酶和PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶的构象影响较大,但天冬酰胺酶和PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶的构象变化趋势有明显的不同。     

应激对免疫功能的影响

应激(stress)可产生广泛的、复杂的生物学效应,如神经内分泌系统功能的改变、心血、管反应,以及心理和行为方面的变化等。长期在应激状态下生活可导致机体抗病能力下降,从而产生多种疾病,这可能是机体免疫功能下降的一种反映。近年来已有许多学者报道应激可通过神经内分泌系统的作用影响机体的免疫功能。一、应激与疾病的关系应激对于多种疾病的发病、演变以至结局都有密切的关系,这是由于应激可使机体产生复杂的生理和心理反应。关于机体在应激过程中所表现出的各种反应机制,众说不一,早期     

下肢长骨骨重的非对称性

本文测量82副中国成年下股长骨即股骨,胫骨和腓骨的重量,在两侧骨重相差>1％时,则股骨、胫骨和腓骨及其三骨总重均以非对称性为多,均具有非常显著性差异(P<0.001)。除腓骨重具有明显侧别差异外,其余无显著性侧别差异,对腓骨侧差解释为:①腓骨主要机能是肌的附着,而下肢对踢和足趾取物具有明显的侧别差异;②以两侧骨重相差>1％时为非对称性的标准,由于腓骨绝对重量较小,在两侧相差<0.5克时即多属非对称性。     

钐在小鼠肝脏细胞中的动态观察

It is generally considered that the rare earth compounds are plasma membrane-impermeable, thus affecting the cells only on their surface. Recently, we found that after repeated injections to mice of large dose of samarium trichloride, a soluble compound of rare earth, samarium aggregates appeared in Kupffer cells and hepatocytes of liver. In this study, we aimed at observing the route by which samarium enters the liver cells and the process of the formation of samarium aggregates. Samarium trichloride was given to Swiss mice at one dose of 70 mg/kg intravenously. Thereafter, at different intervals from 15 min to 48 h after the injection, the samarium in liver was traced dynamically by electron microscopy and X ray microanalysis. From 15 min to 2 h both Kupffer cells and hepatocytes endocytosed samarium-containing particles and formed phagosomes, in which the ingested particles were progressively concentrated. Besides, the small phagosomes fused with each other. Phagocytosis was especially active in Kupffer cells. During the 4 h to 24 h many Kupffer cells were degenerated and broken. In hepatocytes the phagosomes gathered mostly around the bile canaliculi. Groups of highly electron-dense particles were found in the lumen of bile canaliculi, implying the excretion of samarium by bile. At the 48 h, the samarium-containing phagosomies were found still in both kinds of cells in the liver.     

Identification of a new mutation in medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency.

A mutation involving an A-to-G nucleotide replacement at position 985 of the medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) cDNA was found in homozygous form in 18 unrelated MCAD-deficient families and in heterozygous form in 4 families. By PCR amplification and sequencing of cDNA from a compound heterozygote, we have detected a new mutation in an MCAD-deficient patient in whom one MCAD allele produces mRNA that is missing 4 bp in the MCAD cDNA, while the other allele carries the A-to-G-985 mutation. The presence of this 4-bp deletion was confirmed in the patient's genomic DNA by dot-blot hybridization with allele-specific oligonucleotide probes and by restriction analysis of PCR products. A rapid screening test for this 4-bp deletion was developed, based on mismatched primer PCR amplification. The deletion created a new restrictive-enzyme site which yielded two DNA fragments. The 4-bp deletion was not found in the three remaining MCAD chromosomes not harboring the A-to-G-985 mutation, nor it was present in 20 chromosomes from 10 unrelated normal Caucasians. The PCR-based method for screening these two mutations can detect over 93% of all MCAD mutations.     

Simultaneous convective and diffusive mass transfers in a hemodialyser

The mass transfer in a hemodialyser in the presence of combined dialysis and ultrafiltration has been calculated by integration of mass fluxes across the boundary layers in blood and dialysate phase taking into account the partial rejection of solute as well as changes in local blood flow and ultrafiltration flux along the membrane. Clearances of creatinin, vitamin B12, and myoglobin have been calculated as a function of blood and ultrafiltrate flow rate and were found to be in good agreement with in vitro measurements. The data suggest the following empirical correlation for the hemodiafiltration clearance.

灯光诱虫在森林—鱼塘复合生态系统中的作用

昆虫是森林生态系统中的重要组成部分。由于森林中枯枝落叶较多,生境复杂,为昆虫提供了良好的繁殖和栖息场所;因而在森林中昆虫的种类多,数量大。大多数昆虫都以森林     

温度对草鱼出血病影响的初步探讨

将鱼呼肠孤病毒(FRV)感染的草鱼饲养在人工控温的水族箱内,水温在24—30℃恒温时其死亡率无显著差异(P>0.05),而在20℃和33℃恒温时死亡率则明显降低,与24℃—30℃恒温相比死亡率有非常显著差异(P<0.01)。人工感染恒温饲养期间,死亡高峰期随水温降低而推迟,缓慢改变水温能降低死亡率,在低于20℃攻毒并维持一星期左右,即使逐步升温至30℃也不会导致感染鱼的大批死亡。
