大鲵生殖系统发育研究

大鲵是我国特有的大型有尾两栖类,是国家二类保护动物,在医药、食用和观赏等方面都有一定的价值。笔者通过41尾幼体,29尾成体的浸液标本的解剖,观察了大鲵生殖系统的发育变化,大鲵的幼体外鳃萎缩后,性分化基本分明。体长在260毫米以上的个体,性腺发育基本成熟,参与繁殖。     

灰飞虱雌性生殖系统的构造和卵巢发育分级

<正> 在许多迁飞和定居性的农业害虫中,已广泛应用系统剖检雌虫的卵巢发育进度,作为研究害虫预测预报和发生规律的一种重要手段。1988～1989年,我们对灰飞虱Laodelphax striatellus Fallén雌虫的卵巢结构和发育分级进行了解剖观察,兹简报如下。     

棉铃虫蛹期血淋巴的蜕皮甾类

目前为止仅在少数几种昆虫中研究过蛹期的蜕皮激素。关于蜕皮甾类的性质分析,结果也颇不一致。本文采用放射免疫分析、薄层层析、高压液相色谱及质谱对棉铃虫Heliothis armigera蛹血淋巴内的蜕皮激素进行了研究。结果如下:1.物理-化学方法证明蛹血淋巴内存在二种蜕皮甾类:蜕皮酮和20-羟基蜕皮酮。2.蛹期蜕皮甾类滴度呈一宽峰,高峰出现在化蛹后的第5天(3435ng/ml)。3.在高峰时,蜕皮酮与20-羟基蜕皮酮的比例为1:3.57,说明20-羟基蜕皮酮是主要的蜕皮甾类。4.比较雌雄两性蛹的蜕皮甾类滴度,未见明显差异。研究表明在棉铃虫中影响成虫发育的主要激素是20-羟基蜕皮酮而不是蜕皮酮。     

鱼类卵子发育能力的进一步研究

作者中的二人[Tung,and Tung.(童第周与叶毓芬)1944;Tung,Chang,andTung.(童第周、张致一与叶毓芬)1945]曾以分割的方法,研究金鱼(Carassiusauratus)卵子的发育能力。他们将2至8细胞时期的金鱼卵子,在去膜后,用玻璃针,按第一次或第二次的分裂平面,将整个卵子分割为二半。每半含有半数分裂球,一半卵黄,和一半未流入分裂球的细胞质。分割后,每半都能继续发育,但产生下列6种不同的情形:(1)二半都发育为完整的,一半大小的胚胎;(2)一个为完整的胚胎,另一个为不完整的胚胎;(3)一个为完整的胚胎,另一人为囊胚;     

微量注射抗TGFβ—1抗体对爪蟾发育的影响

In order to testify the function of the TGF beta related protein, we microinjected the antibodies against the TGF beta-1 to one blastomere of two-cell stage embryos. Dosages of antibodies injected were 24-36 ng, 12 -18 ng, 6-9 ng and 1.5-2.25 ng. Malformed embryos with exposed yolk mass were produced. They were designated as YE-1, YE-2 and YE-3 according to the degree of malformation which was found to be related to the dosage of antibodies injected to the blastomere. These malformed embryos could normally develop to blastula, but the yolk mass was exposed on the injection half during gastrulation. In the group with the highest dosage, the most seriously affected embryos belong to the YE-1. For most of them, no muscle tissue could be found from head to tail in the injection half, the development of mesoderm seemed to be thoroughly inhibited. YE-2 was the group with decreased dosage, small block of muscle tissue was usually observed in the injection half. YE-3 was the least affected group with the injection half containing blocks of muscle tissue similar to that of the non-injection half. The different groups of malformations seemed to be related to the degree and range of interference on gastrulation. In the group with highest dosage, the gastrulation of the entire injection half seemed to be prohibited, and YE-1 was produced. In the groups with lower dosages, only part of injection half was interfered, and YE-3 v and YE-3 d were resulted. From the results mentioned above, we concluded that TGF beta-related protein are not only present in the early embryos of Xenopus laevis, but also may be concerned with mesoderm induction.     

大鼠恒温能力和产热的胎后发育

本文通过胎后各龄大鼠急性暴露于不同试验温度时的体温动态变化,显示大鼠体温调节的胎后发育有阶段性。同时表明肝线粒体的呼吸速率、氧化磷酸化及呼吸控制率等功能在胎后也有个发育过程。肝线粒体发育成熟时期,正是机体恒温能力迅速发展的阶段。推测肝线粒体的成熟可能是体温调节发育的细胞机制之一。褐色脂肪细胞色素氧化酶和α-磷酸甘油氧化酶活力的变化,表明褐色脂肪在大鼠新生儿阶段的体温调节中具有重要作用。
