Requirement of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nef for in vivo replication and pathogenicity.

The role of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accessory genes in pathogenesis has remained unclear because of the lack of a suitable in vivo model. The most controversial of these genes is nef. We investigated the requirement for Nef for in vivo replication and pathogenicity of two isolates of HIV-1 (HIV-1JR-CSF and HIV-1NL4-3) in human fetal thymus and liver implants in severe combined immunodeficient mice. HIV-1JR-CSF and HIV-1NL4-3 differ in their in vitro phenotypes in that HIV-1JR-CSF does not induce syncytia and is relatively noncytopathic, while HIV-1NL4-3 is highly cytopathic and readily induces syncytia. The nef mutants of both isolates grew with kinetics similar to those of parental virus strains in stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes but demonstrated attenuated growth properties in vivo. HIV-1NL4-3 induced severe depletion of human thymocytes within 6 weeks of infection, whereas its nef mutant did not. Thus, HIV-1 Nef is required for efficient in vivo viral replication and pathogenicity.     

Purification and characterization of recombinant human pro-urokinase produced in silkworm using a baculovirus vector

Summary A recombinant baculovirus (BmNPV-pk2) was constructed by inserting the human pro-urokinase(pro-UK) cDNA into the genome of baculovirus Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) adjacent to the strong polyhedrin promoter. The recombinant virus replicated in silkworm larvae, which synthesized 30g pro-UK/ml in the haemolymph within 4 days post-infection. Purification to near homogeneity was accomplished by fractional precipitation with ammonium sulphate and immunoaffinity chromatography with an overall yield of 23% and a specific activity of 100,000IU/mg in fibrin plate assay. This purified product was comprised of a single chain protein with approximately Mr. 50kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE gel. The N-Terminal amino acids sequence revealed that the secretion signal of pro-UK was correctly processed.     

小麦品种抗性对麦长管蚜种群增长的影响

本研究采用室内、外结合的方法,分苗期和拔节期,对大田抗蚜性鉴定中表现不同的10个小麦品种的抗性对麦长管蚜种群增长的影响进行了研究。研究结果显示,品种抗性对麦长管蚜的存活率、发育进度、繁殖力有一致的抑制作用;品种间抗蚜性存在显著差异。同时通过组建不同品种上麦长管蚜繁殖特征生命表,从量的角度揭示了小麦品种抗性与麦长管蚜种群增长之间的关系。     

水平回转对水稻幼苗叶细胞的影响

对在模拟微重力装置上回转１４ 天的水稻幼苗叶细胞进行了亚显微形态、电子探针和细胞酶化学研究。发现叶细胞质膜上Ｃａ２＋ －ＡＴＰ酶活性消失,膜内钙总量上升、膜外钙总量下降,细胞骨架变得疏松,细胞壁变薄并凹凸不平。叶绿体的基粒和线粒体的内嵴亦有部分变化。其变化机制,首先是细胞质膜上Ｃａ２＋ －ＡＴＰ酶活性消失,膜上钙泵停止工作,跨膜钙浓度差减小,膜内钙浓度上升,微管、微丝聚合受阻,细胞骨架疏松,分泌泡移动失去导向,从而导致细胞壁变薄等状态

不同树种混交林及其纯林对土壤理化性质影响的研究

对针阔混交林土壤理化性质的研究表明,针阔混交林比针叶树纯林对土壤的改良作用要好,它使土壤总孔隙度增加２—１９％,水分含量增加６—３１％,枯枝落叶年凋落量增加２—２００％;土壤养分含量全Ｎ、ＮＨ４－Ｎ、代换性Ｃａ、代换性Ｍｇ和腐殖质含量分别增加４５—７５％、３３—８２％、５５—８５％、４４—８４％和３７—４６％．     

杉木连栽土壤对其幼树生长的影响

在会同林区采用３种不同连栽杉木次数的土壤,进行杉木幼树盆栽试验．结果表明,杉木连栽不利其幼树生长．连裁使幼树高生长下降３７—４０％,基径下降１９—２８％,冠幅下降２１—２９％,总生物量减少４５—５０％．杉木连栽还造成土壤养分递减,即腐殖质减少７—２８％,速效养分下降２３—２８％,土壤微生物数量和活性也大大降低．因此,杉木纯林连栽经营方式应尽快改变．
