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。

波摩那群昆明型钩端螺旋体的鉴定

K5株钩端螺旋体系1960年自昆明市郊高山姬鼠(Apodemus chevrieri)肾分离获得,经多次鉴定均属波摩那群新型,建议命名为昆明型钩端螺旋体(Leptospira interrogans serovarkuming)。     

玉米不同叶位叶片叶绿体超微结构与光合性能的研究

对玉米植株基部（第3叶）,中部（果穗叶）和上部（倒2叶）叶位叶片,进行叶绿体超微结构的观察,并测定了叶绿素含量和光合强度,结果表明,不同叶位叶片叶肉细胞中叶绿体的超微结构,随叶位上升而渐趋复杂化,果穗叶最为显著,向上又趋简单,具体表现为基粒片层的数目随叶位上升而增多基质片层和基质也随之增加,果穗叶最多,向上又趋减少,不同叶位叶片叶绿素含量和光合强度,果穗叶高于其它叶位。     

河蚌心肌纤维的光镜与电镜结合观察

作者自1989年9月至1990年6月,通过光镜和电镜,对河蚌心肌纤维的一般结构和超微结构进行了形态学观察研究,发现河蚌的心肌纤维细长,无肌节和周期性横纹,排列不规则,肌纤维有分枝,在二条纤维的连接处有类似闰盘的结构。在肌浆内粗丝与细丝排列平行有序,其间散布着密体或密斑,线粒体发达且具有明显的嵴,在线粒体之间发现有脂褐素颗粒存在,线粒体周围分布有较多的糖元。     

电刺激大鼠尾核头部镇痛的中枢效应—[^3H]—2脱氧...

Sokoloff's 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographic technique was used to identify changes of glucose metabolic rate in the rat brain following unilateral stimulation of the head of the caudate nucleus. The results were as follows. The local glucose metabolic rate after noxious stimulation was increased in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area, habenular nucleus, head of caudate nucleus, periaqueductal gray (PAG) and dorsal raphe nucleus (P < 0.05). After stimulating the head of the caudate nucleus, the local glucose metabolic rate of nucleus raphe magnus (rm) and nucleus paragigantocellularis (pgcl) was increased significantly and that of the PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus had a tendency to increase, while stimulation of the head of caudate nucleus could partially abolish the increased glucose metabolic rate in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area and habenular nucleus as induced by noxious stimulation. These results suggest that caudate stimulation is able to depress the activation of some brain structures related to nociception and to activate those related to antinociception. The pgcl, rm, PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus might be the key structures participating in the caudate stimulation produced analgesia.     

商陆根中抗真菌蛋白的分离和特性研究

从美洲商陆(Phytolacca americana L.)夏天采集的2—4年生宿根中分离了二种抗真菌蛋白,称为PAFP-R_1和PAFP-R_2。分离程序包括用盐溶液提取,经CM-Sephadex离子交换层析、凝胶过滤层析和羟基磷灰石柱层析纯化。在PGA培养基上,0.1mg/ml蛋白明显抑制木霉菌丝的生长;但对细菌的增殖,即使1mg/ml也无抑制作用。用SDS-PAGE测得二者的相对分子量各为13kD和15kD,单多肽链,等电点约为5.8。用酚-硫酸法未测出含糖。二种蛋白均高含半胱氨酸(19mol/mol)。用Edman降解法测得二者的N末端均为Ala。秋天采集的根中,这二种蛋白含量均很低,但富含由二条PAFP-R_1肽链以双硫键联结的二聚体,它无抗真菌活性。冬天宿根中抗真菌蛋白主要成分是Mr为17kD的单肽链蛋白。上述蛋白对于人红血球均无凝集活性,因此不是PWM的成分。以上结果说明,商陆根中有多种具抗真菌活性的蛋白,成分随季节发生变化,它们都是不含糖,高含半胱氨酸,分子量小于20kD的单肽链蛋白。
