依赖于微环境的TGFβ信号

转化生长因子β（transforming growth factor β，TGFβ）家族成员是一类分泌的细胞因子，在胚胎发育、免疫调节、伤口修复、细胞增殖和抑制等过程中发挥重要作用。其中,TGFβ1、TGFβ2和TGFβ3在进化上最晚出现，并以潜伏态分泌。有别于家族中的大多数成员，TGFβ1-3的信号具有时空区域性，并依赖于其所处的微环境。阐明依赖于微环境的TGFβ信号的多层次调控机制对于理解TGFβ信号在免疫、癌症等生理、病理条件下的功能，以及开发临床治疗策略具有重要意义。本文从TGFβ前体复合物的结构入手，并从TGFβ的激活，配体-受体识别，跨膜信号传导及转录调控等方面，论述依赖于微环境的TGFβ信号的调控机制，同时讨论肿瘤微环境中多效的TGFβ信号，进而对今后的研究方向进行展望。     

Absence of radiation-induced adaptive response in lymphocytes of patients with Down's syndrome]

The adaptive syndrome and response (AR) in lymphocytes from 6 patients with Down syndrome (DS) were investigated. No AR was found to occur in all cases in DS cells pre-exposed to 3 rad of X-rays in S phase of cell cycle and then irradiated with 150 rad of gamma rays in G2 whereas the chromosome aberrations yield in cells from control donors was decreased twice under such conditions of the experiment.     

硝酸盐供应对玉米侧根生长的影响

以两个玉米(Zea mays L.)自交系478和Wu312为研究材料,采用琼脂培养方法,研究不同浓度NO-3对侧根生长的影响.结果表明,在外部浓度0.01～1.0mmol/L范围内,NO-3供应能显著增加侧根的长度及根生物量.但当NO-3供应超过1.0 mmo1/L后,侧根长度开始下降.当NO-3供应分别在超过5.0(Wu312)与10(478)mmol/L后,侧根密度显著下降.在10 mmol/LNO-3下,Wu312的侧根生长几乎完全被抑制.而478在20 mmol/L时,侧根密度仍可达到其最大值的30%(主根)～50%(胚根).植株地上部全氮及硝酸盐含量随NO-3供应的增加而升高,二者与侧根长度、侧根密度及冠根比的数学函数关系相同.     

动物组织中磺胺二甲嘧啶残留ELISA试剂盒研制

采用重氮化法和戊二醛法,将磺胺二甲嘧啶分别与牛血清白蛋白和辣根过氧化物酶偶联制备了免疫原和酶标半抗原,免疫兔获得了特异性抗体,成功建立了相关动物产品中磺胺二甲嘧啶残留ELISA定量检测方法及商品化试剂盒,并对试剂盒的灵敏度、准确度、精密度和稳定性进行了研究。试剂盒检测线性范围为62.5~0.54 ng/mL。在待测样品中各添加500、200、100、50 ng/g SMZ,测试的回收率平均为89.0%~134.8%;试剂盒测定结果与色谱的平均符合率99.8%~126.0%;对比定性测试15份色谱检测为阴性的样品,均未出现假阳性。试剂盒存放在37℃10 d和2~8℃5个月,质量稳定。     

Role of the Dinaric Karst (western Balkans) in shaping the phylogeographic structure of the threatened crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium

1. This study examines phylogeography and phylogeny of the threatened stone crayfish, Austropotamobius torrentium, in order to elucidate the role of the Dinaric Karst geology in shaping the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of aquatic fauna in the western Balkans. Mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COI genes were partially sequenced from 188 and 159 crayfish, respectively, sampled from 70 localities. Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed using four methods of phylogenetic inference. Divergence times between phylogroups were estimated in a Bayesian framework, and their demographic history was examined using neutrality tests and mismatch distribution analysis. 2. Seven geographically localised phylogroups separated by pronounced genetic gaps were found. Five of them have a distribution range within the northern‐central Dinaric (NCD) region, while the remaining two include populations from the southern Balkans (SB) and central and south‐eastern Europe (CSE). The oldest divergence event separated two NCD lineages from the rest of populations in the Late Miocene or Early Pliocene. Divergences amongst the five NCD phylogroups and SB + CSE occurred in the Pliocene. The most recent split separated SB and CSE phylogroups during the Late Pliocene. For both genes, uncorrected pairwise divergences between most of the phylogroups (4.1–8.7% for COI and 1.6–4.8% for 16S rRNA) were of the same range as, or higher than, some of the interspecific distances previously reported for the genus Austropotamobius. 3. Geographically isolated and deeply divergent cryptic monophyletic phylogroups within A. torrentium in the NCD region arose in the course of intensification of Neotectonic movements during the Pliocene and the beginning of the Pleistocene and the development of karstification that has heavily fragmented the palaeohydrography of the area. The results confirm a gradual north–south expansion of stone crayfish during the pre‐Pleistocene that preceded the rapid northward post‐glacial re/colonisation of central Europe (CSE phylogroup) through the Danube drainage. 4. Austropotamobius torrentium comprises morphologically cryptic but molecularly distinct taxa. Considering the relatively small geographical areas they inhabit, the NCD phylogroups of stone crayfish should be given the highest conservation priority.     

Impact of technogenic systems on the environment and human health in the priamurye and primorye territories

This paper discusses the results of studying the technogenic contamination of ecosystems with the waste of placer gold production in the Priamurye and Primorye territories. Environmental objects were shown to degrade and there was a sharp deterioration in human habitats, posing a threat to human life in mining settlements. Measures for reducing the negative impact of the waste on environmental objects are proposed.
