The macrosatellites of the Toulouse goose: the major tandemly repetitive DNA in the toulouse goose genome

This paper examines the principal classes of repetitive DNA of the Toulouse goose (Anser anser) genome. There are four major classes and they are tandem repeats of less than 200 base pairs (bp). The longest repeat (class A) is 190 bp long and starts with a HinfI site. Class B is 43 bp long, commencing with a FokI site. Classes A and B show no extensive homology to DNA sequences held on a current data base (Genbank) but were confirmed to exist as major repeats in another strain of goose, the Emden goose (Anser anser) genome. Classes C and D are 5-bp repeats of 5' GAGAG 3' and 5' GGGAA 3', respectively. The macrosatellites C and D were compared with a current data base (Genbank) and were found to exist in a variety of other organisms as satellites.     

Close association of a DNA replication origin and an ARS element on chromosome III of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Two dimensional gel electrophoretic techniques were used to locate all functional DNA replication origins in a 22.5 kb stretch of yeast chromosome III. Only one origin was detected, and that origin is located within several hundred bp of an ARS element.     

On the generalization of the Weinbaum-Jiji bioheat equation to microvessels of unequal size; the relation between the near field and local average tissue temperatures

The extensive series of experiments reported in Lemons et al. [1] show that measureable local tissue temperature fluctuations are observed primarily in the vicinity of the 100-500 micron countercurrent vessels of the microcirculation and thus strongly support the basic hypothesis in the new bioheat equation of Weinbaum and Jiji [2] that these countercurrent microvessels are the principal determinants of local blood-tissue heat transfer. However, the detailed temperature profiles in the vicinity of these vessels indicate that large asymmetries in the local temperature field can result from the significant differences in size between the countercurrent artery and vein. Using the superposition techniques of Baish et al. [9], the paper first presents a solution to the classic problem of an unequal countercurrent heat exchanger with heat loss to the far field. This solution is then used to generalize the Weinbaum-Jiji bioheat equation and the conductivity tensor that appears in this equation to vessels of unequal size. An asymptotic analysis has also been developed to elucidate the relationship between the near field temperature of the artery-vein pair and the local average tissue temperature. This analysis is used to rigorously prove the closure approximation relating the local arterial-venous temperature difference and the mean tissue temperature gradient which had been derived in [2] using a more heuristic approach.     

人胸腺上皮细胞培养及其分泌产物

本文通过降低培养基中血清含量,向RPMI 1640培养基中补加三碘甲腺原氨酸而获得一种人胸腺网状上皮细胞占优势生长的培养物。在此培养基中细胞经传代培养长达90天,仍维持正常形态特征。胸腺组织在培养14天后,新生细胞的突起形成网状结构,细胞化学检查和电镜观察表明具有丰富的分泌颗粒,囊泡及张力原纤维束和桥粒等上皮细胞特征。收集合并细胞培养液,经部分纯化后检查其生物活性,表现出具有促进玫瑰花结形成和降低胸腺细胞TdT活性的作用,说明培养细胞的分泌产物具有胸腺激素活性。根据形态学,细胞化学和生物活性检测结果,我们倾向于认为该培养物主要为网状上皮细胞。     

以点杂交方法对人β型血珠蛋白基因的染色质结构与功能进行的研究

我采用点杂交的方法,对人β型血珠蛋白基因簇的染色质结构与基因转录活性之间的关系进行了研究。以对DNase Ⅰ消化的敏感性作为染色质的结构参数,我将β型血珠蛋白基因簇中11个区域之间以及其与不表达基因区(乳糖白蛋白和免疫球蛋白不变区λ轻链基因)的染色结构进行比较。实验的细胞系统为K 562红白血病细胞与人胚皮肤细胞株(HES)。所获得的结果提示,在细胞核内,表达基因的染色质结构疏松,对DNase Ⅰ消化的敏感性远较不表达基因区的为高。此外,本文还对有关点杂交的方法学问题进行了较为详尽的讨论。     

从“湖北光敏感核不育水稻”的未受精子房和花药培养出单倍体植株

采用10种诱导培养基,培养湖北光敏感核不育水稻农垦58品种的未受精子房和花药。共培养未受精子房2790个,获得胚囊愈伤组织17块,最高诱导频率达3.33%,其中2块分化出绿苗。培养花药16740个,获得花药愈伤组织15块,最高诱导频率为0.92%,其中3块分化出苗,2丛白苗,1株绿苗。胚囊植株和花粉植株经根尖染色体检查为单倍体,2n=x=12。实验证明,液体培养、2,4-D0.2-0.5 mg/1、低温预处理对诱导胚囊愈伤组织及花粉愈伤组织的形成具良好效果。     

马铃薯未传粉子房离体培养诱导双单倍体植株

以MS为基本培养基,附加不同水平的生长素,培养未传粉马铃薯子房,经三年试验,从两个品种中获得了双单倍体的绿色小植株,(2n=2x=24);从分化绿苗力很强的球状愈伤组织中,又不断地分化出许多绿色小植株。绝大多数品种,都可以诱导出愈伤组织,一般诱导率为70％左右。品种的基因型和培养基中的生长素种类与水平在愈伤组织分化绿苗中起着重要作用。通过扦插和试管微型薯培养,可以大量繁殖试管苗,这为马铃薯单倍体育种提供了较有利的条件。     

镉对雄性小鼠生精细胞的影响

为了研究镉对小鼠生殖力和生精细胞的作用,本文对氯化镉处理后的雄性小鼠进行了交配实验,以观察其对怀孕率、每窝产仔数及子代性比的影响。测定比较了注射镉后,小鼠成熟精子的总LDH酶和LDH-X酶的活性;还用双向电泳方法分析了成熟精子的蛋白质变化。结果表明,处理组在怀孕率、每窝产仔数及子代性比方面无统计学意义的差异。成熟精子的总LDH活性经镉处理后未发现明显变化,但镉能显著地抑制与精子运动的能量有关的LDH-X酶的活性。双向电泳图谱表示,镉处理后,精子中含量较少的三组蛋白质或消失不见,或发生明显变化。

大叶杨组组间杂交花粉－柱头相互作用的超微结构研究

以大叶杨为母本,分别与小叶杨、欧洲黑杨、响叶杨进行人工杂交,并以大叶杨×大叶杨为对照,观察其花粉与柱头相互作用的超微结构变化。结果表明,大叶杨柱头细胞在授粉前表现生理活跃,含丰富的细胞器,壁外被含分支通道的角质层。接受大叶杨及欧洲黑杨花粉的柱头细胞内部仍有丰富的细胞器,膜结构保存完好。接受小叶杨及响叶杨花粉的柱头细胞衰亡较快,授粉部位沉积厚的胼胝质,细胞内部液泡化,膜结构逐渐消失,细胞质电子密度加大。欧洲黑杨花粉行为与大叶杨花粉行为相似,花粉能迅速萌发,并以短管形式穿入柱头,异常行为罕见。小叶杨及响叶杨花粉萌发后只有半数花粉管能以短管形式进入柱头,其中部分管内沉积胼胝质,另半数花粉管在柱头上表现各种异常行为——扭曲、爬行、肿胀、提前破裂释放内容物及先端沉积胼胝质。由各种花粉在大叶杨柱头上的行为和大叶杨柱头对各种授粉的反应判断,与大叶杨杂交亲和力在柱头阶段表现由强至弱依次是欧洲黑杨、小叶杨、响叶杨。
