外源质粒在枯草芽孢杆菌BF7658中的稳定性及其基因表达

通过B.subtilis噬菌体PBSI转导,已将携带热稳定α-淀粉酶基因的质粒pAmy411引进了B.subtilis BF7658.转导频率为10_(-9)转导子/PFU。尽管pAmy 411的诲贝数在B.subtilis BF7658中较在B.subtilis AS 1.1176中高1倍,但其传代稳定性却较后者低。质粒携带的热稳定α-淀粉酶基因的表达水平在B.subtilis BF 7658中较在B.subtilisAS1.1176中高6倍。     

某些杀虫剂对数种寄生蜂的触杀活性

以不同类型的十三种杀虫剂对菜田三种寄生蜂(凤蝶金小峰、菜粉蝶绒茧蜂和啮小蜂)进行了室内触杀活性研究.拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂对寄生蜂的击倒速度,通常较有机磷制剂快,但其杀虫活性较有机磷制剂小.在四种拟除虫菊酯中,杀灭菊酯和中西除虫菊酯对凤蝶金小蜂的毒性,较氯氰菊酯和二氯苯醚菊酯小.马拉硫磷对凤蝶金小蜂的击倒速度最快.乙酰甲胺磷等七种有机磷制剂对凤蝶金小蜂的活性都很大.微生物制剂浏阳霉素对凤蝶金小蜂无杀虫活性,但和乐果复配后.杀虫活性明显增加.在试验条件下,凤蝶金小蜂接触4.35×10^-4毫克/平方厘米药膜后,开始击倒的速度顺序为:马拉硫磷>氯氰菊脂二氯苯醚菊酯>中西除虫菊酯>敌百虫氧化乐果>甲胺磷>乙酰甲胺磷;活性顺序为:氧化乐果>马拉硫磷甲胺磷>敌百虫乙酰甲胺磷>氯氰菊酯二氯苯醚菊酯>中西除虫菊酯.杀灭菊酯对菜粉蝶绒茧蜂的击倒速度较三唑磷快,但活性较三唑碟小.杀灭菊酯和中西除虫菊酯对菜粉蝶绒茧蜂的重寄生蜂啮小蜂的活性较三唑磷小.接触拟除虫菊酯后,个别中寄或死亡的风蝶金小蜂和啮小蜂,有缓解现象.     

IGF-1对不同年龄缺血性脑损伤大鼠神经发生的影响

目的:检测胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)对青年和老年大鼠局灶脑缺血后神经发生及其后细胞生存的影响.方法:健康雄性SD青年鼠(3-4个月)和老年鼠(1年)随机分组,侧脑室注入IGF-1,1天后进行大鼠大脑中动脉阻塞(MCAO),对照组由生理盐水取代.采用BrdU标记方法鉴定MCAO后7d和28d的增殖细胞.BrdU于MCAO后第6d由腹腔注入.免疫组化法检测7天后BrdU、PSA-NCAM标记细胞和28天后BrdU、BrdU/MAP2双标细胞.结果:老年组中BrdU阳性细胞的数目7d后较对照组增加5.1倍;青年纽中BrdU阳性细胞的数目7d后较对照组增加5.5倍.28d后,BrdU阳性细胞的残留率在青年IGF-1处理组和老年IGF-1处理组中分别是79.2%和75.1%,分别相对于对照组的77.1%和52.3%.老年组中PSA-NCAM阳性细胞的数目7d后较对照组增加3.2倍;青年组中PSA-NCAM阳性细胞的数目7d后较对照组增加3.7倍.28d后,BrdU/MAP2阳性细胞在青年IGF-1处理组较对照组增加7.0倍,在老年IGF-1处理组较对照组增加4.9倍.结论:此结果提示局部应用IGF-1进行缺血前预处理,在青年鼠和老年鼠中均能诱导神经发生,且在老年鼠中能明显提高神经发生后的增殖细胞的生存率和向神经元分化的能力.这一研究结果将有助于研究IGF-1在中老年脑损伤病人中的治疗性应用.

高低频强直刺激诱导大鼠视皮层长持续长时程增强后突触超微结构的变化

在发育期大鼠视皮层上以2与100 Hz强直刺激诱导长持续长时程增强(long-lasting long-term potentiation,L-LTP),然后观察突触超微结构的变化.在L-LTP形成后,运用电子显微镜及图像分析技术分析突触形态的变化.实验中观察到,突触界面曲率、突触数密度以及突触后致密物厚度在2与100 Hz组较对照组均显著增加,而突触间隙宽度减小.在100 Hz强直刺激诱导L-LTP组中,单位体积的活性区面积显著增加.100 Hz强直刺激诱导L-LTP组较2 Hz强直刺激诱导L-LTP组中单个突触活性区的面积大.以上结果表明100 Hz强直刺激诱导L-LTP组中新形成的突触较2 Hz强直刺激诱导L-LTP组中的突触大,提示100 Hz强直刺激引起的L-LTP可能伴随有突触后细胞骨架蛋白重组或合成的增加.     

辽宁早白垩世今鸟类一新属种(Jianchangornis microdonta gen.et sp.nov.)(英文)

依据一近完整的相关节的骨骼化石,记述了辽宁建昌早白垩世九佛堂组原始今鸟类一新属种:小齿建昌鸟(Jianchangornis microdonta gen.et sp.nov.)。新鸟个体较大,但从骨化程度分析,正型标本可能属于一亚成年个体。具有一些进步特征,如胸骨及龙骨突加长,乌喙骨具有发育的前乌喙突以及和肩胛骨关联的关节窝,叉骨"U"字型,愈合荐椎包括9-10枚荐椎,尾综骨短小,第二、三掌骨远端愈合,跗跖骨完全愈合等,表明新属无疑属于今鸟类。在以下特征组合上很容易和已知的早白垩世今鸟类化石相区别:齿骨上至少有16枚细小牙齿,从齿骨前端向后沿齿骨大部密集排列;肩胛骨强烈弯曲;第一掌骨粗壮,较其他掌骨宽;第一指长并且远端延伸明显超过第二掌骨;肱骨+尺骨+第二掌骨与股骨+胫跗骨+跗跖骨的长度比例约为1.1。系统发育分析表明新属属于基干的今鸟类。新发现的材料第二、三掌骨远端愈合很好,但近端却未完全愈合,这一特征尚未见于其他已知鸟类,或许表明今鸟类腕掌骨的愈合和现生鸟类的跗跖骨一样是从远端开始的,不同于反鸟类和其他基干鸟类。建昌鸟的下颌还保存了一个前齿骨,这是继早白垩世红山鸟之后的另一例报道,可能进一步表明这一结构在今鸟类中曾普遍出现。新鸟肩带、胸骨和前肢的特征显示了和现代鸟类相近的飞行能力,其后肢、脚趾的比例以及趾爪的形态等显示和燕鸟、义县鸟等相似的地栖特征。保存于标本上的鱼类残骸可能显示了建昌鸟食鱼类的习性。今鸟类新属种的发现进一步表明,早白垩世这一进步鸟类类群的分化已不亚于反鸟类,湖滨环境在今鸟类的早期演化中确实扮演了重要的角色。

New giant penguin bones from Antarctica: Systematic and paleobiological significance

A tarsometatarsus and a fragmented humerus of striking dimensions recently collected in the Late Eocene locality DPV 13/84 Submeseta Formation-level 38 Submeseta II-, Seymour (Marambio) Island, Antarctic Peninsula were both assigned to Palaeeudyptes klekowskii. According to estimates, the tarsometatarsus would belong to the largest and most massive penguin described so far. This bird was probably a piscivorous penguin, with high diving ability for catching prey. Although the humerus is not an appropriate element for body mass or body length assessments, it also belonged to a huge penguin.     

Functional morphology of cercopithecoid primate metacarpals

The primate fossil record suggests that terrestriality was more common in the past than it is today, particularly among cercopithecoid primates. Whether or not a fossil primate habitually preferred terrestrial substrates has typically been inferred from its forelimb anatomy. Because extant large-bodied terrestrial cercopithecine monkeys utilize digitigrade hand postures during locomotion, being able to identify if a fossil primate habitually adopted digitigrade postures would be particularly revealing of terrestriality in this group. This paper examines the functional morphology of metacarpals in order to identify osteological correlates of digitigrade versus palmigrade hand postures. Linear measurements were obtained from 324 individuals belonging to digitigrade and palmigrade cercopithecoid species and comparisons were made between hand posture groups. Digitigrade taxa have shorter metacarpals, relative to both body mass and humerus length, than palmigrade taxa. Also, digitigrade taxa tend to have metacarpals with smaller dorsoventral diameters, relative to the product of body mass and metacarpal length, compared to palmigrade taxa. The size and shape of the metacarpal heads do not significantly differ between hand posture groups. Multivariate analyses suggest that metacarpal shape can only weakly discriminate between hand posture groups. In general, while there are some morphological differences in the metacarpals between hand posture groups, similarities also exist that are likely related to the fact that even digitigrade cercopithecoids can adopt palmigrade hand postures in different situations (e.g., terrestrial running, arboreal locomotion), and/or that the functional demands of different hand postures are not reflected in all aspects of metacarpal morphology. Therefore, the lack of identifiable adaptations for specific hand postures in extant cercopithecoids makes it difficult to determine a preference for specific habitats from fossil primate hand bones.     

Theropods (dinosauria, saurischia) from the middle Jurassic Toutunhe Formation of the Southern Junggar Basin, NW China

From the Middle Jurassic (?Bathonian-Callovian) Toutunhe Formation of Liuhonggou, SW of Urumqi in the southern Junggar Basin (Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China) theropod material is described in detail for the first time. A large carnosaur is represented by five tooth crowns from different parts of the dentition. The size of the teeth indicates an animal 6–8 m in total length. Teeth and postcranial material from the Toutunhe Formation of Sangonghe River, E of Urumqi, belong to the same or a closely related taxon. A second, smaller theropod with an estimated entire length of 3 m is represented by another tooth crown, re-markable for its bifurcated mesial carina (genetically induced abnormality ?). It is not identifiable but shows greatest similarities to members of the Coelophysoidea. The distal end of a fibula could belong to the same taxon. Two new components are thus added to the dinosaur fauna of the Toutunhe Formation, hitherto restricted to a nodosaurid and unidentified (“megalosaurid”) theropod material.     

掌骨X线测量推断身高的研究

随机选取在校健康大学生186人(男90人, 女96人, 年龄18—27岁), 拍摄双手后前位372侧X线片, 测量身高和掌骨的长与宽。通过掌骨和身高的测量, 分析掌骨各参数与身高的关系, 为人类学和法医学的身高推断积累研究资料。掌骨长与身高的相关性明显高于掌骨宽, 其中男性第2掌骨长与身高相关性最高, 其线性回归方程为Ym=1097.320+9.337X; 女性第3掌骨长与身高的相关性最高, 其线性回归方程为Yf=1016.752+9.878X。男性第2掌骨长和女性第3掌骨长与身高的相关性最高, 可分别作为推断身高的依据。     

太行山猕猴掌骨和蹠骨长度的性别判别

研究太行山猕猴掌骨和蹠骨长度的性别差异。对24例掌骨和26例蹠骨的长度变量进行测量, 用SPSS13.0统计软件进行单因素方差分析和多变量判别分析。结果表明: 掌骨和蹠骨的长度变量在性别之间有极显著性差异(P＜0.00)。各掌骨和各骨的长度顺序在侧别之间和性别之间有一定差异, 但是尚未达到统计学意义( P> 0.05) 。用全模型法和逐步判别法根据长度变量分别建立性别判别函数, 其性别正确判别率掌骨分别为91.7%和93.8%, 而蹠骨的性别判别率为84.6%。表明猕猴掌骨和蹠骨长度性别之间存在明显性差。使用掌骨和蹠骨长度变量进行性别鉴定有一定理论价值和应用价值。     

The estimation of adult stature from metacarpal bone length

Stature was measured (in cm) in 166 (120 male; 46 female) predominantly white adults (age range: 17–87 years). A radiograph of one hand of each subject was taken (for routine diagnostic purposes) and the inter-articular length of all five metacarpal bones was measured with a sliding caliper. These metacarpal lengths were then adjusted to compensate for enlargement during radiography. A significant correlation coefficient between stature and metacarpal length was observed in both sexes. Regression equations were computed from the length of each metacarpal, by which living stature may be fairly accurately estimated in the absence of any complete limb bones. The difference between our estimates and those obtained by more orthodox methods is usually less than 3%.     

第二掌骨长度与身高

本文通过对青藏高原海拔3000—4000米地区藏族、汉族7—18岁青少年1468人第二掌骨长度与身高的调查,探讨了二者的内在联系及规律。结果表明:第二掌骨长度与身高的增长近乎平行趋势,该二者之间存在着较高程度的正相关。第二掌骨长度/身高指数比较恒定,以第二掌骨长度推算身高是简便可行的。     

Correlations of midshaft breadths and compact bone thickness among bones of the upper and lower extremities of children aged 6 to 16 years

Correlations between endosteal, periosteal and compact bone breadths of the humerus, tibia, second metacarpal and second metatarsal were determined in a sample of 394 normal, white children from greater Philadelphia. Although most correlations tended to be significant, the magnitude of all were low, except just at the time of the onset of the adolescent spurt. In normal, disease-free children, measurements of a single bone cannot be confidently used as an indicator of compact bone mass anywhere else in the skeleton. There is some indication that the humerus provides the best single bone to use in cases where such a procedure is necessary.
