Association of chest wall motion and tidal volume responses during CO2 rebreathing

Yan, Sheng, Pawel Sliwinski, and Peter T. Macklem.Association of chest wall motion and tidal volume responses during CO₂ rebreathing.J. Appl. Physiol. 81(4):1528-1534, 1996.The purpose of this study is to investigate theeffect of chest wall configuration at end expiration on tidal volume(VT) response duringCO₂ rebreathing. In a group of 11 healthy male subjects, the changes in end-expiratory andend-inspiratory volume of the rib cage (Vrc,E andVrc,I, respectively) and abdomen (Vab,E and Vab,I, respectively) measured by linearizedmagnetometers were expressed as a function of end-tidalPCO₂(PET_CO2). The changes inend-expiratory and end-inspiratory volumes of the chest wall(Vcw,E and Vcw,I,respectively) were calculated as the sum of the respectiverib cage and abdominal volumes. The magnetometer coils were placed atthe level of the nipples and 1-2 cm above the umbilicus andcalibrated during quiet breathing against theVT measured from apneumotachograph. TheVrc,E/PET_CO2 slope was quite variable among subjects. It was significantly positive (P < 0.05) in fivesubjects, significantly negative in four subjects(P < 0.05), and not different fromzero in the remaining two subjects. TheVab,E/PET_CO2slope was significantly negative in all subjects(P < 0.05) with a much smallerintersubject variation, probably suggesting a relatively more uniformrecruitment of abdominal expiratory muscles and a variable recruitmentof rib cage muscles during CO₂rebreathing in different subjects. As a group, the meanVrc,E/PET_CO2,Vab,E/PET_CO2, andVcw,E/PET_CO2slopes were 0.010 ± 0.034, 0.030 ± 0.007, and0.020 ± 0.032 l / Torr, respectively;only theVab,E/PET_CO2 slope was significantly different from zero. More interestingly, theindividualVT/PET_CO2slope was negatively associated with theVrc,E/PET_CO2(r = 0.68,P = 0.021) and Vcw,E/PET_CO2slopes (r = 0.63,P = 0.037) but was not associated withtheVab,E/PET_CO2slope (r = 0.40, P = 0.223). There was no correlation oftheVrc,E/PET_CO2 andVcw,E/PET_CO2slopes with age, body size, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, orexpiratory time. The groupVab,I/PET_CO2 slope (0.004 ± 0.014 l / Torr) was not significantlydifferent from zero despite theVT nearly being tripled at theend of CO₂ rebreathing. Inconclusion, the individual VTresponse to CO₂, althoughindependent of Vab,E, is a function ofVrc,E to the extent that as theVrc,E/PET_CO2slope increases (more positive) among subjects, theVT response toCO₂ decreases. These results maybe explained on the basis of the respiratory muscle actions andinteractions on the rib cage.

     

干旱和盐胁迫诱导甜菜叶中的甜菜碱醛脱氢酶的积累

含吸氢酶基因（hup）嵌合质粒的构建和吸氢酶活性在阴沟肠杆菌中的表达

以质粒ｐＲＫ４０４为载体亚克隆含大豆根瘤菌吸氢酶结构基因（ｈｕｐ）的片段,构建成嵌合质粒ｐＨＲ１１、ｐＨＲ４和ｐＨＲ１０。通过三亲本杂交将这些嵌合质粒导入无吸氢活性的Ｒｈｏｄｏｂａｃｔｅｒｓｐｈａｅｒｏｉｄｅｓ２４１菌株（Ｈｕｐ－）,均获得Ｈｕｐ＋的接合子。利用启动子检测质粒ｐＭＰ２２０证明,在ｈｕｐ对结构基因上游１．２ｋｂ内存在ｈｕｐ启动基因片段。以ｐＲＫ２０１３为助质粒可将ｐＨＲ１１导入Ｅｎｔｅｒｏｂａｃｔｅｒｃｌｏａｃａｅ和Ｋｌｅｂｓｉｅｌｌａｏｘｙｔｏｃａ等土壤固氮菌株。本文以接合子Ｅ．ｃｌｏａｃａｅＥＨ１１１３为例,通过对基因组ＤＮＡＳｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交分析证明,嵌合质粒ｐＨＲ１１在ＥＨ１１１３中稳定贮存和复制。Ｈ２诱导接合子ＥＨ１１１３吸氢酶活性高表达,吸氢活性与放氢活性比值约为对照的两倍。当以延胡索酸为电子受体时,吸氢酶的吸氢作用支持菌株固氮酶活性的提高。

半自然条件下麋鹿的生长发育与繁殖习性

在大丰保护区的半自然条件下,麋鹿新产仔鹿性二型差异大于圈养条件下的仔鹿;１龄幼鹿第１年生长发育迅速,其后足长已基本达成体后足长;４岁时后足长即已显著大于引进的成体鹿。大丰雌性麋鹿３岁开始产仔,比圈养条件下晚１年,４岁时体重方达成体重。雄性５岁后方能达成体重并才有机会获得交配权．发情期主要集中于６月上、中旬,产仔期主要集中于３月中、下旬,产仔半数时间为３月２７日,产仔期比圈养麋鹿更趋集中。仔鹿产后１～３天为“印记”的敏感期,１周龄后即开始随群活动并有觅食行为。

小麦形成大穗的生态学基础

研究了不同光、温条件下３个小麦品种的生育特征、幼穗分化、幼穗生长和穗部性状,探讨了促进穗大粒多、提高小麦单产的可行途径．结果表明,因播种期的不同而导致的小麦生长期间光、温条件的不同,使之各生育期出现的时间及其持续的天数有了较大的差异．小麦幼穗分化的历期天数多与平均气温和平均日照长度呈显著或极显著负相关．不同的积温是幼穗生长量和每穗总小穗数产生差异的重要原因．在条件适宜的麦区,可望通过引种适宜品种并适当提早播种期,以促进德大粒多、实现单产的明显提高．
