大仓鼠的核型与B染色体研究

采用骨髓细胞染色体制片法,对分布于山东济南、泰山、东北长白山和陕西西安的大仓鼠的染色体组型、Ｇ－带、Ｃ－带和银染核型进行了分析研究。济南、西安和长白山的标本的二倍体数目和核型相似,２ｎ＝２８,２２ｔ＋４ｍ＋ＸＹ（ｓｔ,ｍ）。泰山标本的二倍体数目为２ｎ＝２８～２９,即在６７５％的中期相中多出了一条形态最小的端着丝粒染色体,这条染色体为Ｂ染色体,可能起源于Ｘ染色体。泰山标本的Ａ染色体组与上述３地标本相同。４地标本的Ｇ－带、Ｃ－带和银染核型相似。除Ｂ染色体外,每个端着丝粒染色体都具有着丝粒异染色质,ＡｇＮＯＲｓ较恒定地出现在Ｎｏｓ２,４,８,９,１３染色体上。也就是说大仓鼠的Ｂ染色体为Ｃ－带阴性,不携带核仁组织者。这种Ｂ染色体Ｃ－带阴性的特征在赤狐、黑家鼠和大林姬鼠朝鲜亚种中亦有报道。     

微胶囊固定化酵母培养的研究

进行了ＮａＣＳＰＤＭＤＡＡＣ微胶囊固定化酒精酵母和产朊假丝酵母的实验研究。考察了这两种酵母的培养规律,发现微胶囊固定化酒精酵母的产酒精情况与游离培养基本一致,在连续发酵１６批后,仍具有良好的性能。同时固定化产谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）的产朊假丝酵母的研究也表明固定化培养ＧＳＨ产量与游离细胞产量相近     

不同视觉经验中zif268基因的表达模式

zif268基因编码一转录因子ZIF268. 在发育的视皮层中,zif268基因的表达模式受发育的调节. 在具有正常视觉经验的视皮层中,zif268基因有较高水平的表达. 视觉废置后,视皮层内该基因的表达水平显著降低. 通过视觉刺激可显著增强该基因的表达. 有关zif268基因表达模式的研究对于阐明该基因在哺乳动物视觉系统中的生理功能起到借鉴的作用.     

应用硫氧还蛋白促进外源蛋白在大肠杆菌的可溶性表达

为了观察硫氧还蛋白（ＴｒｘＡ）促进外源蛋白在大肠杆菌中可溶性表达的作用,我们从质粒ｐＥＴ－３２ａ（＋）上克隆了ｔｒｘＡ基因,构建了ＴｒｘＡ表达质粒ｐＴ－ＴｒｘＡ。将该质粒与其它蛋白基因的表达质粒共同转化Ｅ．ｃｏｌｉ并同时获得表达。结果表明,共表达ＴｒｘＡ可以明显促进外源蛋白,如甲状旁腺激素相关蛋白（ＰＴＨｒＰ）、ＰＴＨｒＰ受体（ＰＴＨｒＰ－Ｒ）的血管内皮生长因子（ＶＥＧＦ）的可溶性表达。说明共表达

为测定我国肾综合征出血热病毒Ｇｏｕ３株的Ｍ片段全基因序列,了解该株分子基础,并分析其瑟其他病毒株的差异,将提取的感染了病毒的Ｖｅｒｏ－Ｅ６细胞总ＲＮＡ进行逆转录ＰＣＲ扩增,产物直接或纯化后克隆Ｔ载体并测定序列,结果测得Ｇｏｕ３株Ｍ片段的全基因序列共３６５１个核苷 ,最大读码框架从４７到３４４８,共编码１１３４个氨基酸。     

人类疱疹病毒7型感染脐血单个核细胞产生TNF—α

用生物活性法,检测人类疱疹病毒7型Glasgow株和南京地方株YY5及HHV-6GS株感染单个核细胞培养上清中肿瘤坏死因子－α（TNF-α）的水平。结果发现,HHV-7对也能较强地诱生TNF-α,但达到峰值时间（3～4d）迟于HHV-6GS株（2d）;在感染24h上请中,GS株产生TNF-α量明显多于YY5株、Glasgow株产生量（P＜0．05）,三者与未感染单个核细胞比较都存在显著差异（P＜0．05）,但Glasgow珠和YY5株之间无差异（P＞0．05）。结果表明,HHV-6、HHV-7都能通过刺激单个核细胞产生TNF-α而发挥免疫调节功能。

Insulin and insulin mutants stimulate glucose uptake in rat adipocytes

A simple method to determine thein vitro biological activity of insulin by measuring glucose uptake in the rat adipocytes is presented here. In the presence of insulin, the glucose uptake is 5–6 times more than the basal control. And the uptake of D-[3-³H]-glucose is linear as the logarithm of insulin concentration from 0.2 ώg/L to 1.0 ώg/L. Glucose and 3-O-methyl-glucose inhibit D-[3-³H]-glucose uptake into adipocytes. By this method, thein vitro biological activity of [B₂-Lys]-insulin and [B₃-Lys]-insulin was measured to be 61.6% and 154% respectively, relative to that of insulin.     

Reaction of hydroxyl radical with phenylpropanoid glycoside and its derivatives by pulse radiolysis

The reaction of hydroxyl radical with 1 phenylpropanoid glycoside (PPG), cistanoside C, and its 3 derivatives: 1-0-β-D-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanyl-glucose, 6-O-(E)-femloyl-glucose and 6-O-(E)-p-hydroxy-cinnarnoylglucose isolated from folk medicinal herbs was investigated by pulse radiolysis technique respectively. The reaction rate constants were determined by analysis of built-up trace of absorption at λ_max of specific transient absorption spectra of PPG and its derivatives upon attacking · OH. All four compounds react with · OH at close to diffusion controlled rate (1. 03 × 10⁹-19.139 × 10⁹ L · mol⁻¹ · s⁻¹), suggesting that they are effective · OH scavengers. The results demonstrated that the numbers of phenolic hydroxyl groups of PPG and its derivatives are directly related to their scavenging activities. By comparing the reaction rates of · OH with 1-O-β-D-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanyl-glucose, 6-O-(E)-feruloyl-glucose or 6-O-(E)-p-hydroxy-cinnomoyl-glucose, it is evident that the phenylethyl group is more impofiant than phenylacryloyl group for scavenging · OH.     

Epidemiology of Infection with Epstein-Barr Virus Types 1 and 2: Lessons from the Study of a T-Cell-Immunocompromised Hemophilic Cohort

In apparent contrast to earlier work on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) carriage in the general Caucasian population, in vitro virus isolations from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive male homosexual cohorts have shown frequent examples of multiple EBV infection and an overall prevalence of type 2 EBV strains exceeding 30%. Here we ask to what extent these findings might hold true in another T-cell-immunocompromised cohort, HIV-positive hemophilic patients. Resident EBV strains were rescued within lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from the blood and throat washings of 39 such individuals, using the same in vitro protocols of virus isolation as for the homosexual cohort. A mean of 19 independent cell lines was made per patient, and in each case the resident virus was characterized by PCR-based viral genomic analysis and by immunoblotting to reveal the viral “EBNAprint.” By these criteria a significant proportion (14 of 39) of the hemophilic cohort carried more than one EBV strain, suggesting that T-cell impairment does indeed sensitize virus carriers to reinfection with new strains of exogenously transmitted virus. However, the overall incidence of type 2 EBV infection was 10%, which is close to that observed in the earlier work with healthy carriers and substantially lower than that seen in HIV-positive homosexuals. We infer that type 2 EBV is relatively rare in the general Caucasian population but has become endemic in the homosexual community.
