电针镇痛时人脑脊液中β-内啡肽样免疫活性物质的含量与痛阈的关系

用β-内啡肽放射免疫分析法测定10例无疼痛主诉的患者电针前后侧脑室脑脊液中B-内啡肽样免疫活性物质(B-EPIS)的含量,其中6例用弹簧棒测定了痛阈和耐痛阈。结果表明,每 ml 脑脊液中β-EPIS 的含量比针前增加126.7 fmol/ml(P<0.02),病人的痛阈比针前升高29.5%,耐痛阈升高28.1%(P<0.05)。β-EPIS 含量的增加量与痛阈、耐痛阈的升高值呈直线相关,r_1=0.776,r_2=0.741(P<0.05)。表明电针能促使脑内释放β-内啡肽,释放增加的β-内啡肽参与镇痛作用,这可能是电针镇痛机制的重要环节之一。     

携带杀白细胞素基因金黄色葡萄球菌的研究进展

杀白细胞素(Panton-Valentine leukocidin,PVL)是金葡菌产生的重要外毒素之一,PVL在其感染所致的坏死性皮肤损害和坏死性肺炎等疾病中起重要作用,并且能在社区和医院传播。现在国内外对PVL阳性金葡菌的研究日益重视,本文就其感染的致病机制、感染状况、检测方法和防治措施等问题研究作一陈述。     

The relationship between the reduction of nonstructural carbohydrate induced by defoliator and the growth and mortality of trees

Large scale herbivorous insect outbreaks can cause death of regional forests, and the events are expected to be exacerbated with climate change. Mortality of forest and woodland plants would cause a series of serious consequences, such as decrease in vegetation production, shifts in ecosystem structure and function, and transformation of forest function from a net carbon sink into a net carbon source. There is thus a need to better understand the impact of insects on trees. Defoliation by insect pests mainly reduces photosynthesis (source decrease) and increases carbon consumption (sink increase), and hence causes reduction of nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC). When the reduction in NSC reaches to a certain level, trees would die of carbon starvation. External environment and internal compensatory mechanisms can also positively or negatively influence the process of tree death. At present, the research of carbon starvation is a hotspot because the increase of tree mortality globally with climate change, and carbon starvation is considered as one of the dominating physiological mechanisms for explaining tree death. In this study, we reviewed the definition of carbon starvation, and the relationships between the reduction of NSC induced by defoliation and the growth and death of trees, and the relationships among insect outbreaks, leaf loss and climate change. We also presented the potential directions of future studies on insect-caused defoliation and tree mortality.     

河南淅川始新世核桃园组兔类化石

这里记述了河南淅川核桃园组中两种始新世兔类:石皮沟壮兔 (Strenulagus shipigouensis gen. et sp. nov.) 和丹江卢氏兔 (Lushilagus danjiangensis sp. ov.).从这些原始兔类标本上似可证实:上前臼齿和臼齿的中央主尖分别相当于前尖(或并尖)和后尖;两者的舌侧沟(次沟)似乎不同源.兔类上臼齿上的外凹、釉质圆环和舌侧沟的出现,是与三角座和跟座之间沟的形变密切相关.     

延胡索分类的化学证据

东阳产延胡索与大连产齿瓣延胡索经成分分离和TLC、HPLC对比,发现延胡索以啊扑啡类生物碱如glaucine为主,而齿瓣延胡索则含corynoline类生物碱。根据生物碱的类型及含量比较,二者有明显差异,结合延胡索的植物形态和植化分类特征判断,将延胡索作为与齿瓣延胡索近缘的独立种处理较为合理,即为Corydalis yanhusuo W. T. Wang ex Z.Y. Su et C. Y. Wu     

龟鳖类寄生血簇虫六新种

血簇虫(Haemogregarina Danilewsky,1885)属真球虫目(Eucoccidia)血簇虫科(Haemogregarinidae),这一属的寄生虫,其寄主以爬行动物为主,两栖动物和鱼类也有寄生。至今已记载有300余种。龟鳖类的血簇虫研究,国内尚无报道。作者在1984年3月—1985年3月,对我国龟鳖类寄生的血簇虫进行了调查研究,共解剖检查了中华     

甘蓝型油菜芥酸和二十碳烯酸含量的基因效应

以甘蓝型油菜的4种纯合芥酸基因型之间所有可能的6个杂交组合的P_1、P_2、F_1、P_2、B_1和B_2世代为材料,用生统遗传学方法研究了芥酸和二十碳烯酸的基因作用形式及效应。发现无论亲本是单基因差异还是二基因差异,F_1和F_2代的芥酸含量都接近中亲值,F_1略大于中亲值和F_(20)世代均值分析表明,芥酸含量的遗传符合加性显性模型,加性效应占绝对优势,显性效应不显著。用数量遗传学方法估计的芥酸基因数与已知的结果相近。     

四川宝兴雉类生态和垂直分布的调查研究
