重庆市生态风险预警等级划分及演化趋势模拟

生态风险预警等级评估和演化趋势模拟，可为生态风险管理提供可靠的辅助决策。以重庆市为研究对象，基于驱动力-压力-状态-影响-响应模型，构建重庆市生态风险预警指标体系，采用正态云模型和集对分析法，定量分析重庆市生态风险时空分异特征和演化趋势。研究结果表明：（1）2013-2019年，重庆市生态风险值呈"上升-下降"的波动趋势，综合生态风险隶属于重警等级，生态风险综合值从0.295下降到0.278，生态环境逐年好转；（2）重庆市生态风险有下降、不变、先上升后降低、先降低后上升以及一直升高5种演化趋势，分别占比39%、16%、5%、21%、24%；（3）重庆市生态风险转移分为两个方向，2013-2016年生态风险空间分异性增大，中警、轻警和无警风险等级不断向东北、东南和西部四周分散转移；2016-2019年生态风险分布格局变化较小，重警风险区在东部聚集；（4）演化趋势模拟结果表明，未来重庆市生态风险降低的区县有13个，占比34%，生态环境有向好发展的趋势；生态风险上升的区县有25个，占比66%，生态环境会有所恶化，但是恶化程度较低。将生态风险等级划分与预警演化趋势相结合，能为城市生态风险管理提供科学依据。     

Development of sensitive esterase assays based on alpha-cyano-containing esters.

A novel approach is reported for the development of fluorogenic esterase reporters using alpha-cyano-containing esters as substrates. After ester hydrolysis, the released alcohol, a cyanohydrin, rapidly eliminates HCN to yield the corresponding aldehyde resulting in strong fluorescence. The pi conjugation of the resulting aldehyde also greatly enhances UV absorption and red shifts fluorescence emission relative to a corresponding alcohol or phenol. Two substrates, R/S-acetic acid cyano-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-methyl ester (compound I) and trans/cis-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid R/S-cyano-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-methyl ester (compound II), were synthesized and evaluated as substrates. Such alpha-cyano substrates possess very low background fluorescence and are more stable under enzyme assay conditions than phenolic substrates due to the aliphatic cyano group. The higher molar absorbtivity and quantum yield of the aldehyde, along with its larger Stokes' shift combined with the increased stability and lower background signal of the cyanohydrin substrate, increases the utility and sensitivity of the resulting assays over current methods. Moreover, compound II showed high selectivity to pyrethroid-cleaving esterases and may provide a direct tool to monitor pyrethroid resistance in insects.     

Nerve growth factor and neuronal cell death

The regulation of neuronal cell death by the neuronotrophic factor, nerve growth factor (NGF), has been described during neural development and following injury to the nervous system. Also, reduced NGF activity has been reported for the aged NGF-responsive neurons of the sympathetic nervous system and cholinergic regions of the central nervous system (CNS) in aged rodents and man. Although there is some knowledge of the molecular structure of the NGF and its receptor, less is known as to the mechanism of action of NGF. Here, a possible role for NGF in the regulation of oxidant--antioxidant balance is discussed as part of a molecular explanation for the known effects of NGF on neuronal survival during development, after injury, and in the aged CNS.

胶茶群落及胶林、茶园太阳辐射光谱的研究

1983—1985年,我们进行了胶茶人工群落及胶林、茶园对太阳辐射光谱吸收利用状况的探索研究。着重对可见光谱区的两个吸收带,4000—5000(?)(蓝紫光)、6000—7600A(红橙光)以及红外光谱区的10000—13200(?)(近红外)、14800—18000(?)(远红外)进行了分析讨论,以期从生态和生理的角度阐明群落结构比单一结构的优越性及其对胶、茶产量和品质的影响。     

Serial studies of autologous antibody reactivity to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Summary In previous studies we evaluated the incidence and specificity of autologous antibody reactivity against squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We were able to demonstrate that autologous antibody reactivity is present in native sera but was usually of too low a titer to allow further analysis. Dissociation of immune complexes by acidification and ultrafiltration of serum augmented autologous antibody reactivity in nine out of nine autologous systems tested. Native antibody and antibody derived from immune complexes produced by the host and reactive with autologous tumor cells may be directed against physiologically relevant antigens. Therefore, correlations of antibody titers with clinical course may provide insight into the nature of the host response to cancer. In the present analysis, serological studies of six patients with SCCHN were performed with serum samples obtained over many months. Results of serial serological assays were correlated to tumor progression and clinical course. Fluctuations in autologous antibody reactivity were noted over time. In four cases, rises in autologous antibody titers preceded the clinical diagnosis of recurrence by several months. Drops in autologous antibody reactivity were noted in two cases following surgery or radiation therapy. In two cases of long-term survivors, no correlation between antibody reactivity and clinical course was noted. Specificity analysis of the six autologous systems demonstrated reactivity against autologous and allogeneic SCCHN as well as melanoma cell lines. These sera did not react with glioma, neuroblastoma, renal cell, breast, bladder and colon carcinoma cell lines nor with fetal calf serum, pooled lymphocytes, red blood cells and platelets. Autologous serial serological studies may provide a means by which to evaluate the host/tumor relationship in patients with SCCHN.

植物附生微生物与叶部病害生物防治研究进展

人们早已发现绿色植物叶面(phylloplane)栖居有大量微生物。在一百多年前微生物学家就从植物叶面分离到许多真菌和细菌。1910年Potter首先证实,叶面附生微生物在干扰真菌引起的叶部病害中起着重要作用。至本世纪上半叶,叶面微生物仍为人们所忽视。相反,在这期间土壤微生物得到很大发展,在土传植物病原菌生物防治研究方法上取得了很大进展,为后来的植物叶部病害生物防     

A determinant of polyomavirus virulence enhances virus growth in cells of renal origin.

We have identified a strain of polyomavirus, Py(L), which is unusual in causing acute morbidity and early death after inoculation of newborn mice. We determined that these animals died of kidney failure associated with extensive, virus-mediated destruction of renal tissue. Interestingly, the Py(L) strain infects baby mouse kidney cell cultures more efficiently than do other strains.     

pH和温度对固氮酶还原基质的影响

确定了在pH 5.2到8.7和温度22°到45℃时钼铁蛋白和铁蛋白的稳定性。按logKm和logV分别对pH作图,得到下列参数。于30℃在酸性侧,乙炔络合常数PK_b(C_2H_2)=6.43—6.50,乙炔催化常数pK_b′(C_2H_2)=4.78,在碱性侧乙炔络合常数pK_a(C_2H_2)=7.42—7.55,乙炔催化常数pK_a′(C_2H_2)=7.88—8.29,氮络合常数pK_a(N_2)=7.75—7.9及氮催化常数pK_a′(N_2)=8.08—8.68。既然pK_a与pK_b或pK_a′与pK_b′二者间隔小于3.5个单位,又按V/Km及V′对pH作图,其结果为pKb(C_2H_2)=6.28pK_a(C_2H_2)=7.68和pK_b′(C_2H_2)=5.53和pK_a′(C_2H_2)=8.93。将不同温度下的pK_b或pK_a分别对各自温度的倒数作图,其热力学数据为由pH 5.7到7.3范围内,质子移变基团的解离热⊿H(ioh)=7742卡/克分子,相应的pK_b(C_2H_2)=6.16—6.36;由pH 7.3到8.4范围内⊿H_(ion)=6983卡/克分子,相应的pK_a=8.24—8.44。这些数据指出固氮酶钼铁蛋白络合乙炔的功能基团可能具有咪唑基·巯基和氨基相类似的结构,这种推测正在用化学修饰的方法加以验证。
