δ-阿片受体在缺血后处理心肌保护中的作用

目的：探讨δ-阿片受体是否参与缺血后处理对抗心肌缺血/复灌（I/R）损伤和心肌细胞低氧/复氧（H/R）损伤作用及其机制。方法：采用离体大鼠心脏Langendorff灌流模型,全心停灌30 min、复灌120 min复制I/R模型。测定心室力学指标和复灌时冠脉流出液中乳酸脱氢酶（lactate dehydrogenase,LDH）活性,实验结束测定心肌组织formazan含量。酶解分离的心肌细胞采用低氧60min、复氧60min复制H/R模型,测定心肌细胞存活率。结果：在离体心脏模型上,与I/R组相比,缺血后处理组（停灌后复灌即刻立即给予6次全心停灌/复灌循环）心肌组织的formazan含量明显增高,复灌期间冠脉流出液中LDH明显降低,同时缺血后处理明显改善心室力学指标,缓解冠脉流量的减少 在分离心肌细胞模型上,低氧后处理明显提高心肌细胞存活率。δ-阿片受体阻断剂naltrindole（NTI）和线粒体钙激活钾通道（KCa）阻断剂paxilline（Pax）在离体大鼠心脏模型和分离心肌细胞模型上均能明显减弱缺血后处理的作用。在心肌细胞模型上,与H/R组相比,δ-阿片受体激动剂DADLE明显提高心肌细胞存活率,其作用可被paxilline所阻断。结论：缺血后处理具有抗心肌缺血/复灌损伤的作用,这种保护作用可能与其激活δ-阿片受体和开放KCa有关。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
