Inhibition of gastric acid secretion by peptide YY is independent of gastric somatostatin release in the rat

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the inhibitory action of peptide YY (PYY) on gastric acid secretion is attributable to the release of gastric somatostatin in rats. Two groups of rats (six rats/group) were anesthetized with urethane and prepared with gastric fistulas and jugular catheters. Pentagastrin (18 micrograms/kg-h) was given intravenously for 150 min to stimulate gastric acid secretion. Intravenous PYY (130 micrograms/kg-h) inhibited pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion significantly (P less than 0.05). Administration of iv PYY resulted in a 41% reduction (P less than 0.05) in pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion. In another group of anesthetized rats, administration of PYY (10(-7), 10(-8) M) failed to stimulate a release of somatostatin from the isolated-perfused rat stomach. Our findings indicate that PYY can inhibit gastric acid secretion independently of release of gastric somatostatin in the rat.     

蓝藻原生质球研究的现状及存在问题

在原生质体(球)技术方面,蓝藻也许是一种最为困难的材料了。蓝藻原生质球的研究工作起步不算很晚,但进展不快。直到现在,作为一项可以用于遗传操作的基本技术还没有建立起来。这主要表现在,原生质球的再生问题没有解决;此外,在基本分离制备方面也存在不少问题。而对于植物、真菌、细菌、放线菌和绿藻,这些问题都早已     

青霉素对蓝藻细胞的作用

1967年,Biggins首次报道通过溶菌酶处理获得了有生活力的篇藻(Phormidium luridum)原生质球。此后,虽然许多作者在这方面作了不少工作,但原生质球的再生和融合问题至今没有得到解决。再生和融合与分离制备方法密切相关,因此,     

1,4—二取代酰氨基硫脲化合物A导致黄瓜增产的生理基础的初步研究

用0.1ppm的1—异烟酰—4-(4′-氯代苯基)—氨基硫脲(以下用A代表)喷施3—4叶期的黄瓜(Cucumis sativus L.)幼苗,可以提高叶片光合速率并导致黄瓜增产。进一步的实验结果表明:经0.1ppm A处理后,黄瓜叶片的叶绿素含量(a+b)增加约50%,叶绿素a/b比值降低约30%,叶黄素含量增加近2倍,光合磷酸化活性增强。这些变化可能是黄瓜增产的生理基础。

雄尾螨属二新种及马氏雄尾螨重新记述：（蜱螨亚纲：雄尾螨科）

作者在整理采自贵阳、长沙、武汉的马氏雄尾螨Arrenurus(Micruracarus)madarasziDaday标本中,发现了两个近似新种:拟马氏雄尾螨Arrenurus(Micruracarus)madarasziatus sp.nov.和华中雄尾螨Arrenurus(Micruracarus)huazhongensis sp.nov.本文记述了此三近以种,并作了特征鉴别。     

头端延髓腹外侧区注射5—羟色胺对应激性高血粘度...

Experiments were carried out on 62 wistar rats. The hyperviscosity and elevation of blood pressure were induced by hanging and restraining the rats with their four limbs tied on a frame. It was found that microinjection of 5-HT (25 micrograms/10 microliters) into the 4th ventricle of the brain or bilateral microinjection of 5-HT (4 micrograms/0.5 microliters/site) into rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM) reduced stress-induced hyperviscosity (p < 0.01) and elevation of blood pressure (p < 0.01). The effect of 5-HT injected into the 4th ventricle or rVLM was blocked by bilateral microinjection of cinanserine (4 micrograms/0.5 microliter/site) into rVLM. These results suggest that microinjection of 5-HT into 4th ventricle and rVLM could reduce stress-induced hyperviscosity and elevation of blood pressure and these effects were probably mediated via 5-HT receptors in the rVLM.     

马铃薯Y病毒外壳蛋白基因的克隆及序列分析

本文报道应用聚合酶链式反应(PCR)技术,在体外扩增马铃薯 Y 病毒外壳蛋白基因及其克隆和序列分析的结果。病毒 RNA 从马铃薯 Y 病毒感染的烟草叶片中提取,用合成的PCR 3引物及 AMV 逆转录酶合成了单链的 cDNA。利用 PCR 技术,经30个循玎的扩增。得到了一特异的0.8kb 片段。克隆后对此片段进行了限制性内切酶物理图谱分析,并测定了其全序列。实验结果证明,我们克隆到的是完整的马铃薯 Y 病毒的外壳蛋白基因。与国外报道的马铃薯 Y 病毒 N 株相比,其核苷酸序列及推测的氨基酸序列的同源率分别为97.8%和97%。将该基因导入马铃薯以期获得抗 Y 病毒马铃薯的工作正在进行。本文还对 PCR 技术用于扩增植物 RNA 病毒的方法以及用基因工程方法培育抗病毒作物新品种的可行性等进行了讨论。     

PVA和PEG预处理对大豆种子在低温吸胀过程中胚根线粒体发育和超微结构的影响

电镜观察发现,大豆种子在刚开始萌发时胚根细胞中未能见到线粒体,线粒体是在种子萌发过程中逐渐出现的,由原质体再分化发育而成。对照胚根细胞内原质体在低温吸张过程中明显膨胀,在回温后胚根细胞中原质体仍不能发育成线粒体,甚至网状膜结构破坏,呈空泡化;经聚乙烯醇(PVA)和聚乙二醇(PEG 6000)预处理的大豆种子在同样条件下线粒体能继续发育,在回温后预处理胚根细胞中线粒体发育良好,具有明显的双层膜和管状嵴的结构。这些结果表明,在低温吸胀过程中原质体能够继续再分化发育成线粒体是提高大豆种子活力和抗冷力的重要原因。
