躯体和内脏传入冲动在大鼠束旁核内的会聚

在麻痹的大鼠上,分别刺激迷走神经、内脏大神经、坐骨神经、腓肠神经、睾丸和副睾,在对侧丘脑束旁核记录到了45个细胞的单位放电。根据诱发反应的潜伏期、时程和放电频谱分布的不同,可将他们分为五种类型,并且认为这些类型和刺激引起的感觉性质有关。在观察到的45单位中,29个的反应具有痛放电的特性,而且对躯体及内脏的传入冲动呈聚合性反应。其中2个单位只对内脏传入冲动产生反应。这项研究的结果表明,束旁核不仅是接受内脏传入的丘脑结构,而且也是一个整合内脏与躯体传入信息的中枢。

Differential effects of transforming growth factor-beta on the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins by normal fetal rat calvarial bone cell populations

To determine the effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on the different cell types that exist in bone, cell populations (I-IV), progressively enriched in osteoblastic cells relative to fibroblastic cells, were prepared from fetal rat calvaria using timed collagenase digestions. TGF-beta did not induce anchorage-independent growth of these cells, nor was anchorage-dependent growth stimulated in most populations studied, despite a two- to threefold increase in the synthesis of cellular proteins. In all populations the synthesis of secreted proteins increased 2-3.5-fold. In particular, collagen, fibronectin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor synthesis was stimulated. However, different degrees of stimulation of individual proteins were observed both within and between cell populations. A marked preferential stimulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor was observed in each population, together with a slight preferential stimulation of collagen; the effect on collagen expression being directed primarily at type I collagen. In contrast, the synthesis of SPARC (secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine/osteonectin was stimulated approximately two-fold by TGF-beta, but only in fibroblastic populations. Collectively, these results demonstrate that TGF-beta stimulates matrix production by bone cells and, through differential effects on individual matrix components, may also influence the nature of the matrix formed by different bone cell populations. In the presence of TGF-beta, osteoblastic cells lost their polygonal morphology and alkaline phosphatase activity was decreased, reflecting a suppression of osteoblastic features. The differential effects of TGF-beta on bone cell populations are likely to be important in bone remodeling and fracture repair.

立枯丝核菌蛋白质电泳图谱研究 Ⅰ.融合群与图谱的相关性

用来自日本和美国的立枯丝核菌8个融合群11个类群代表菌株进行可溶性蛋白质电泳,其结果表明,各融合群及亚群之间电泳图谱有显著差异,而同一类群菌株的电泳图谱则相似。分析来源于华东等地已鉴定的融合类群117个菌株的电泳图谱显示,同一融合群内菌株,虽然采集地区、寄主植物或致病力不同,其蛋白质图谱仍十分相似;而不同融合类群的菌株,即使在同一田块中同一种寄主植物上引起相似病害,其图谱也显示出明显差异。本文就上述可溶性蛋白质图谱显示的结果与其它研究者在血清学、DNA同源性.酯酶等生化水平上对融合群的研究结果进行了比较和探讨。

Transforming activities of sodium fluoride in cultured Syrian hamster embryo and BALB/3T3 cells

The transforming activity of sodium fluoride was studied in the SHE and the BALBl3T3 cell culture systems. Initiating and promoting activities were then investigated by means of the orthogonal methodology. Sodium fluoride was found to induce morphological transformation of SHE cells seeded on a feeder layer of X-irradiated cells at high concentrations (75–125 g/ ml). When the cells were seeded in the absence of a feeder-layer, the transformation frequencies increased in a dose-dependent manner with the concentrations of sodium fluoride ranging from 0 to the highly toxic concentration of 200 g/ml. In the BALBl3T3 cell system, sodium fluoride was negative in the standard Kakunaga procedure, while through the experiment designed by table L₈ (2⁷) of the orthogonal method, an initiating-like effect and a weak promoting activity were detected within the concentrations ranging from a 25 g/ ml to a 50 g/ ml concentration which is highly toxic for BALBl3T3 cells. From these results, it is suggested that, besides a genetic mode of action, sodium fluoride could possibly act through a non-genotoxic mechanism.Abbreviations CE cloning efficiency - NaF sodium fluoride - SHE Syrian hamster embryo - TF transformation frequency

温度、pH及效应剂对高粱PEP羧化酶活性的协同作用

纯化的高粱PEP羧化酶活性随pH升高(pH6.6～8.0)而增大。在G6P和Mal存在下,酶活性仍有随pH升高而增大的趋势,但G6P对酶的激活百分率和Mal的抑制百分率随pH升高而降低。高粱PEP羧化酶活性的最适温度高于40℃、酶的催化效率(V_(max)/K_m)随温度升高而增大。高温下,反应激活能降低,Mal对酶活性抑制百分率亦随温度升高而下降,I_(0.5)值增大,Mal增大K_m(PEP)的效应变小。
