输液室内的健康指导

健康指导是健康教育的一个重要组成部分,是健康教育的重要手段,也是一门应用科学,它的原则来之医学、教育学、心理学、人类学和社会学等相关学科,护士要担当健康指导,必须具备以上的知识.同时也要给接受适当的时间和空间.输液室就是很好的选择。     

植物生理学实验课教学改革初探

植物生理学是生物科学专业主干必修课,实验课教学是植物生理学教学的重要组成部分。随着生物技术与生命科学的飞速发展,有很多前沿领域的研究与成果不断渗透进入这一学科,因此其内容也在不断更新和充实。在这种时代形势下,对该学科的实验课内容、形式及模式进行更新、调整或改革以让学生尽可能多地掌握现代生物学技术,与今后的实际工作中尤其是继续从事科学研究的要求不脱节,是很多高校同仁的共识。我校作为一所综合性大学,我们根据本学校的实际情况,对植物生理实验课教学内容进行了更新与改革,现就大家关注的几个方面的具体做法,与同行们切磋。     

努力推动中国的遗传多样性研究

遗传多样性(Genetic diversity)是生物多样性(Biological diversity)的重要组成部分和核心内容。广义的遗传多样性是指所有生物携带的遗传信息的总和,反映的是所有生物遗传基因的多样性。狭义的遗传多样性是指生物种内基因的变化。遗传多样性是生物物种在进化过程中积累起来的遗传变异。     

贯彻落实《政策》精神，促进生物产业发展

2009年6月2日,国务院办公厅颁布了《促进生物产业加快发展的若干政策》（以下简称《政策》）。该政策的制定是我国在新世纪把握新科技革命战略机遇．全面建设创新型国家的重大举措．也是应对国际金融危机、促进经济平稳较快发展一揽子计划的重要组成部分。我国必须抓住世界生物科技革命和产业革命的机遇．将生物产业培育成为我国高技术领域的支柱产业。     

红松洼的土壤螨——一群不为人知的小动物

正土壤动物,顾名思义,是指那些生活在土壤或落叶下的各种小动物的总称,包括蚯蚓、蚂蚁、线虫、蜘蛛、跳虫、螨类等很多种类。土壤动物通常能够促进枯枝落叶等自然界"垃圾"的分解,改善土壤结构,提高土壤肥力,对维系生态系统的健康运转具有重要意义。其中,土壤螨类是土壤动物中的重要组成部分。土壤螨类是红松洼自然生态系统的重要组成部分,也是红松洼草原重要的分解者,更是守卫

“细胞行为-I”的教学组织

细胞是生物体结构和功能的基本单位,在其生命活动的舞台上,它会展现增殖、分化、衰老和凋亡等一系列行为变化。细胞增殖是高中生物学新课程必修模块“分子与细胞”的一个组成部分,本文主要阐述有关细胞增殖的教学组织。     

免疫反应升高胆固醇

免疫系统,一直是人类不可或缺的重要组成部分。然而最近有研究显示,免疫系统的激活能阻碍肝脏清除胆固醇的能力,为身体其他系统带来不利影响。或许,免疫系统的持续激活也能诱发心衰。以往的研究曾经指出,炎症过程中动物的肝脏会增大。而近日James等发现,表达一种前炎症因子LIGH     

Functional analysis of slow myosin heavy chain 1 and myomesin-3 in sarcomere organization in zebrafish embryonic slow muscles

Myofibrillogenesis, the process of sarcomere formation, requires close interactions of sarcomeric proteins and various components of sarcomere structures. The myosin thick filaments and M-lines are two key components of the sarcomere. It has been suggested that myomesin proteins of M-lines interact with myosin and titin proteins and keep the thick and titin filaments in order. However, the function of myomesin in myofibrillogenesis and sarcomere organization remained largely enigmatic. No knockout or knockdown animal models have been reported to elucidate the role of myomesin in sarcomere organization in vivo. In this study, by using the gene-specific knockdown approach in zebrafish embryos, we carried out a loss-of-function analysis of myomesin-3 and slow myosin heavy chain 1 (smyhc1) expressed specifically in slow muscles. We demonstrated that knockdown of smyhc1 abolished the sarcomeric localization of myomesin-3 in slow muscles. In contrast, loss of myomesin-3 had no effect on the sarcomeric organization of thick and thin filaments as well as M- and Z-line structures. Together, these studies indicate that myosin thick filaments are required for M-line organization and M-line localization of myomesin-3. In contrast, myomesin-3 is dispensable for sarcomere organization in slow muscles.     

Dicentric chromosome formation and epigenetics of centromere formation in plants

Plant centromeres are generally composed of tandem arrays of simple repeats that form a complex chromosome locus where the kinetochore forms and microtubules attach during mitosis and meiosis. Each chromosome has one centromere region, which is essential for accurate division of the genetic material. Recently, chromosomes containing two centromere regions (called dicentric chromosomes) have been found in maize and wheat. Interestingly, some dicentric chromosomes are stable because only one centromere is active and the other one is inactivated. Because such arrays maintain their typical structure for both active and inactive centromeres, the specification of centromere activity has an epigenetic component independent of the DNA sequence. Under some circumstances, the inactive centromeres may recover centromere function, which is called centromere reactivation. Recent studies have highlighted the important changes, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, that occur during centromere inactivation and reactivation.
