赤(瓜包)亚族植物叶片中脉的比较解剖

本文对赤(瓜包)属(Thladiantha Bunge)、白兼果属(Baijiana A.M.Lu et J.Q.Li)和苦瓜属(Momordica L.)共11种植物叶片中脉进行了比较解剖学研究。除苦瓜属一种外,其余10种的叶片中脉解剖学资料均为首次报道。分析结果表明:叶片中脉维管束的数目以及排列方式具有分类学意义,而种间和种内维管束数目的减少,在一定程度上反映出植物迁移和演化的方向。     

云杉核型的研究兼论云杉属的进化地位

本文分析了我国特产树种云杉Picea asperata的核型,K(2n)=24=20m+4sm,属2A类型,染色体相对长度组成为2n=24=2L+12M_2+SM_1+2S。云杉属植物(22种、变种)的核型全由臂比小于2的中部和近中着丝粒染色体构成,是较为原始的核型。根据松科各属核型的比较,作者讨论了云杉属的亲缘关系和进化地位,并得到形态学、解剖学、孢粉学、植化学、生化学及古植物学等的支持。     

自发性高血压大鼠血管α1肾上腺素受体亚型的改变

本工作在离体与整体条件下比较易卒中型自发性高血压(SHRSP)大鼠与WKY大鼠血管中α_1受体的两种亚型。在离体灌流的主动脉、肾动脉与肠系膜动脉,50μmol/L氯甲基可乐定(CEC)预温育30min可使α_1受体激动时引起的最大收缩张力在SHRSP与WKY大鼠分别降为对照时的31.4±8.3％与35.2±2.9％,68.4±8.2％与80.1±7.3％,68.4±6.3％与55.4±7.0％,两者间均无显著性差别。但10μmol/L硝苯吡啶对α_1受体收缩效应的阻断作用则在SHRSP大鼠大大超过WKY大鼠,最大收缩张力分别降为对照时的3.1±1.5％与56.5±4.8％(P<0.01),9.0±4.1％与23.6±3.5％(P<0.05),5.9±2.5％与28.0±0.8％(P<0.01)。整体动物实验也显示硝苯吡啶的降血压作用及对苯肾上腺素升血压效应的阻断作用在SHRSP大鼠都较WKY大鼠显著增强。离体主动脉a_1受体激动时的快速相与持续相收缩均主要由α_(1B)亚型激动引起,硝苯吡啶对快速相收缩的阻断作用在SHRSP与WKY大鼠无显著性差别,但对持续相收缩的阻断作用则在SHRSP大鼠显著强于WKY大鼠。上述结果提示SHRSP大鼠血管α_1受体两种亚型的分布没有显著改变,但α_(1B)受体激动时继发性细胞外Ca~(2+)进入的途径由非双氢吡啶敏感性钙通道转变为双氢吡啶敏感性钙通道。     

小麦原胚对外源大分子与不透膜物质的摄入

为检验小麦原胚基端特定位点上的外连丝型胞间连丝和开放孔道在摄取外源物质上的作用,以不透膜的阳离子铁蛋白(cationized ferritin)和萤黄(lucifer yellow CH )为示踪物,对其吸入与传布动态进行了荧光与电子显微镜观察。结果表明,这两种物质确可以以非跨膜运输的方式沿着原胚基端的特定通道进入原胚细胞。     

Catalytic properties of X-prolyl dipeptidyl aminopeptidase from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris nTR.

An X-prolyl dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (X-PDAP; EC 3.4.14.5) was identified to be loosely bound on the inner cell membrane fraction of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris nTR. The biosynthesis of X-PDAP was continuously increased before the late-log growth phase of the bacteria. Both Gly-Pro-pNA and Ala-Ala-pNA were hydrolyzed by X-PDAP; the kcat/Km value of the former was about 10-fold that of the latter. The Ki of X-Pro and Pro-X were more specific to X-PDAP than those of X-Ala. The enzyme splitting a dipeptide sequentially from beta-casomorphin as a model catalytic pattern was identified and some properties of the enzyme were further characterized.     

The reconciliation behavior of golden monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellanae roxellanae) in small breeding groups

Observations were made following 130 spontaneous aggressive incidents in two small breeding groups of captive golden monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellanae roxellanae). Participants were observed both during the first 10 min following these incidents and during matched control observations. An increased contact rate was observed between opponents following the aggressive incident. Post-conflict contacts were characterized by a number of behavior patterns: open mouth, rapid grooming, embrace, and crouching. Adult males played an important role as mediator in agonistic disputes among females: males intervened in 93.6% of female fights. It is speculated that this intervention behavior is related to the species' organization into one-male units.     

Changes in pulmonary Cu−Zn contents in superior mesenteric artery occlusion shock of rabbit

Contents of Cu and Zn of into-pulmonary blood (IPB), out-pulmonary blood (OPB), Lung tissue, and supernatant and macrophages of Lung Lavage were determined in superior mesenteric artery occlusion (SMAO) shock of rabbits. Zn of pulmonary tissue was 11.42 +/- 0.60 and 14.52 +/- 1.78 (micrograms/g wet wt) in SMAO shock and control groups, respectively. Content of Zn was found to be lower, Cu was not changed, and Cu/Zn ratio increased in lung tissue in SMAO shock. Contents of Cu and Zn in other samples were not changed. The results suggest that lower Zn in lung tissue related to acute lung injury.     

山西永济白草坪组具刺疑源类的发现及其地质意义

该文着重报道了山西永济白草坪组(一般认为系中元古界上部相当于蓟县系的层位),以具刺疑源类为主的微化石群,计有4类6属15种,其中包括1新属,4新种,1新组合,1亲近种,2未定种,新属是具细网状纹饰的复杂具刺疑源类Shuiyousphaeridium Yan gen.nov.,4新种是Shuiyousphaeridium membraniferum Yan sp.nov.,Dictyosphaera incrassate Yan sp.nov.,Foliomorpha stipuliferaYan sp.nov.,Manicosiphoninema shuiyouense Yan sp.nov.。本微化石群以球形疑源类为主体,以具刺疑源类的大量发育为特征,并伴生有推测是绿藻和褐藻的化石,其组合面貌与蓟县上前寒武系各组皆有明显区别,具有更高的进化程度,从生物地层标志推测白草坪组所在的汝阳群应归入震旦系。白草坪组具刺疑源类可能是横裂甲藻的原始分子,它在地层对比和藻类进化方面皆具有重要意义。
