TY21a口服伤寒活菌苗肠衣胶囊的大规模现场试验

<正> 在世界许多地区伤寒仍然是一种重要的疾病,并能造成旅游者的一种感染。大部份地区伤寒的发病率在5-19岁年龄组的儿童中最高。在控制伤寒的方案中以学校为基地的免疫接种是恰当的,因为学龄儿童代表着伤寒“俘虏”人群。 虽然热酚灭活和丙酮灭活的不经肠道的灭活全菌体伤寒菌苗提供了有价值的保护,但很少用于系统的控制伤寒计划中,因为它们的副反应高。 抗伤寒免疫接种中的一个重要进展是     

Variation in Male Fertilities and Pairwise Mating Probabilities in Picea glauca

Frequencies of multilocus male gametes in seeds collected from clones in several blocks of a white spruce seed orchard were analyzed as part of a 2-yr study of mating system variation in this species. Observed frequencies of male gamete types departed significantly from those expected assuming equal male fertilities among clones. Male gamete frequencies in seed crops were significantly heterogeneous among clones within blocks, and among blocks within clones. Clonal male fertilities were estimated from male gamete frequency data. These estimates were highly skewed, with a small proportion of the clones contributing male gametes to the majority of the seed. The estimates were significantly heterogeneous among clones within blocks, and among blocks within clones. Between-year variation in clonal male fertilities was also pronounced, with male fertilities of some clones changing by as much as three orders of magnitude. Clonal male fertility was significantly correlated with clonal male cone production in both years. These results are important with regard to assumptions made for the estimation of general combining ability, average genetic correlation among progeny from single parents, and expected response to selection in open-pollinated plant populations.     

Three-dimensional representation of chemical gradients

Perspective display techniques are applied to chemical and biochemical data sets. These represent spatially distributed gradients of reactive compounds that participate in pattern-formation processes due to reaction-diffusion or reaction-convection coupling. The patterns form in thin solution layers and are observed as chemical waves in the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction, as convection-induced stationary structures during oscillating glycolysis in yeast cytoplasm, and as the diffusive spreading of enzyme-catalyzed metabolic turnover in a substrate layer. The digital data are measured with a two-dimensional spectrophotometer based on a computerized video equipment with high spatial, temporal and intensity resolution. By application of three-dimensional procedures detailed structural properties of chemical and biochemical model systems will be presented yielding localization of reaction and transport events.     

Zeatin Glycosylation Enzymes in Phaseolus: Isolation of O-Glucosyltransferase from P. lunatus and Comparison to O-Xylosyltransferase from P. vulgaris

An enzyme catalyzing the formation of O-glucosylzeatin in immature embryos of Phaseolus lunatus was purified 2500-fold using ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by affinity and anion exchange chromatography. The enzyme uses trans-zeatin as substrate (K_m 28 micromolar) but not cis-zeatin, ribosylzeatin, or dihydrozeatin. Both UDP-glucose and UDP-xylose can serve as glycosyl donors, with K_ms of 0.2 and 2.7 millimolar, respectively, for the formation of O-glucosylzeatin and O-xylosylzeatin. In comparison, the UDPxylose-zeatin:O-xylosyltransferase (JE Turner, DWS Mok, MC Mok, G Shaw [1987] Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 84: 3714-3717) isolated by the same procedures from P. vulgaris embryos uses only UDP-xylose as donor substrate and the K_ms for both zeatin and UDP-xylose are much lower (2 and 3 micromolar, respectively). The chromatographic behavior on affinity columns and molecular weights (approximate M_r 44,000 daltons) of the two enzymes are similar. Results from substrate competition experiments and enzyme separation by anion exchange HPLC indicate a single, distinct, zeatin O-glycosylation enzyme occurs in embryos of each of these Phaseolus species.     

Developmental Control of Apiogalacturonan Biosynthesis and UDP-Apiose Production in a Duckweed

Vegetative fronds of Spirodela polyrrhiza were induced to form dormant turions by the addition of 1 micromolar abscisic acid or by shading. The cell wall polymers of fronds contained a high proportion of the branched-chain pentose, d-apiose (about 20% of total noncellulosic wall sugar residues), whereas turion cell walls contained only trace amounts (about 0.2%). When the fronds were fed d-[³H]glucuronic acid for 30 minutes, the accumulated UDP-[³H]apiose pool accounted for about 27% of the total phosphorylated [³H]pentose derivatives; in turions, the UDP-[³H]apiose pool accounted for only about 4% of the total phosphorylated [³H]pentose derivatives. We conclude that the developmentally regulated decrease in the biosynthesis of a wall polysaccharide during turion formation involves a reduction in the supply of the relevant sugar nucleotide. One controlling enzyme activity is suggested to be UDP-apiose/UDP-xylose synthase. However, since there was a 100-fold decrease in the rate of polysaccharide synthesis and only a 9-fold decrease in UDP-apiose accumulation, there is probably also control of the activity of the relevant polysaccharide synthase.     

Glyphosate Induces 3-Deoxy-d-arabino-Heptulosonate 7-Phosphate Synthase in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cells Grown in Suspension Culture

The activity of the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, varies during the growth cycle of Solanum tuberosum L. cv superior cells in suspension culture. Maximum specific enzyme activity was observed midway through the linear phase of growth. When mid-log phase cells are exposed to glyphosate, the specific activity of the enzyme increases severalfold within 24 hours. The glyphosate-induced increase in enzyme activity is due to an increase in the amount of enzyme as determined by immunoblotting. Glyphosate (up to 2 millimolar) has no effect on the enzyme activity in vitro. Dehydroquinate synthase, the second enzyme of the shikimate pathway, is not induced by glyphosate.     

Gradients of Intercellular CO(2) Levels Across the Leaf Mesophyll

Most current photosynthesis models, and interpretations of many wholeleaf CO₂ gas exchange measurements, are based on the often unstated assumption that the partial pressure of CO₂ is nearly uniform throughout the airspaces of the leaf mesophyll. Here we present measurements of CO₂ gradients across amphistomatous leaves allowed to assimilate CO₂ through only one surface, thus simulating hypostomatous leaves. We studied five species: Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieb. ex Spreng., Brassica chinensis L., Gossypium hirsutum L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., and Spinacia oleracea L. For Eucalyptus, maximum CO₂ pressure differences across the leaf mesophyll were 73 and 160 microbar when the pressures outside the lower leaf surface were 310 and 590 microbar, respectively. Using an approximate theoretical calculation, we infer that if the CO₂ had been supplied equally at both surfaces then the respective mean intercellular CO₂ pressures would have been roughly 12 and 27 microbar less than the pressures in the substomatal cavities in these cases. For ambient CO₂ pressures near 320 microbar, the average and minimum pressure differences across the mesophyll were 45 and 13 microbar. The corresponding mean intercellular CO₂ pressures would then be roughly 8 and 2 microbar less than those in the substomatal cavities. Pressure differences were generally smaller for the four agricultural species than for Eucalyptus, but they were nevertheless larger than previously reported values.     

Simultaneous Measurements of Steady State Chlorophyll a Fluorescence and CO(2) Assimilation in Leaves: The Relationship between Fluorescence and Photosynthesis in C(3) and C(4) Plants

Rates of CO₂ assimilation and steady state chlorophyll a fluorescence were measured simultaneously at different intercellular partial pressures of CO₂ in attached cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv Deltapine 16) leaves at 25°C. Electron transport activity for CO₂ assimilation plus photorespiration was calculated for these experiments. Under light saturating (1750 microeinsteins per square meter per second) and light limiting (700 microeinsteins per square meter per second) conditions there was a good correlation between fluorescence and the calculated electron transport activity at 19 and 200 millibars O₂, and between fluorescence and rates of CO₂ assimilation at 19 millibars but not 200 millibars O₂. The values of fluorescence measured at about 220 microbars intercellular CO₂ were not greatly affected by increasing O₂ from 19 to 800 millibars. Fluorescence increased with light intensity at any one intercellular CO₂ partial pressure. But the values obtained for fluorescence, expressed as a ratio of the maximum fluorescence obtained in DCMU-treated tissue, over the same range of CO₂ partial pressure at 500 microeinsteins per square meter per second were similar to those obtained at 1000 and 2000 microeinsteins per square meter per second. There were two phases in the observed correlation between fluorescence and calculated electron transport activity: an initial inverse relationship at low CO₂ partial pressures which reversed to a positive correlation at higher values of CO₂ partial pressures. Similar results were observed in the C₃ species Helianthus annuus L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., and Brassica chinensis. In all C₄ species (Zea mays L., Sorghum bicolor L., Panicum maximum Jacq., Amaranthus edulis Speg., and Echinochloa frumentacea [Roxb.] Link) examined changes in fluorescence were directly correlated with changes in CO₂ assimilation rates. The nature and the extent to which Q (primary quencher) and high-energy state (q_E) quenching function in determining the steady state fluorescence obtained during photosynthesis in leaves is discussed.
