Summary The principal pancreatic islets of the teleost Scorpaena scropha are found ultrastructurally to contain four different kinds of parenchymal cells, viz. 1-(= D), 2-, -and agranular cells. The -cells show considerable variations in the shape of the secretory granules. A peculiar feature is that many of these granules are composed of fibrillar subunits, often in parallel arrangement. All -granules are surrounded by membranes and between the membrane and the granule core there is a moderately wide electron lucent space. The electron density of the cytoplasm in the -cells varies somewhat. The 2-cells possess typical secretory granules with an electron dense core and a closely applied membrane. The secretory granules in the 1-cells show also a closely applied membrane but a less dense core. Also in the -cells the electron opacity of the cytoplasm varies. The agranular cells are mainly characterized by low cytoplasmic electron density, narrow cisterns of endoplasmic reticulum and sometimes a laminated Golgi complex. Small immature secretory granules are occasionally seen in the cytoplasm of these cells. The significance of the fibrillar -granules remains obscure.This work was supported by grants from the Nordic Insulin Fund, the Town of Umeå, the Swedish Medical Research Council (Project No. B69-12X-718-04A), and by a postdoctoral fellowship from the United States Public Health Service.  相似文献

Summary On the basis of the histochemical activity of succinic dehydrogenase, only two fibre-types are distinguished in pigeon pectoralis major muscle. These are narrow Red and broad White. The histochemical activity of myofibrillar ATPase was studied in these two distinct fibre-types. Both fibre-types showed high activity for the ATPase. Red fibres of pigeon pectoralis were not alkali-labile, at incubation pH 9.4, as were the Type I fibres of both avian and mammalian muscles. Again unlike Type I fibres, the Red fibres of pigeon pectoralis lacked the characteristic activation of acid-preincubated ATPase reaction. Pigeon pectoralis Red fibres are known to posses some characteristics of fast-twitch fibres (e.g. high fat, considerable phosphorylase, fibrillenstruktur myofibrillar arrangement, focal en plaque pattern of nerve endings). It is emphasized, therefore, that the pigeon pectoralis Red fibres are not equivalent to Type I or slow-twitch, muscle fibres, but they are possibly fast-twitch fatigue resistent or Type II Red muscle fibres.  相似文献

The cosmid clone, CX16-2D12, was previously localized to the centromeric region of the human X chromosome and shown to lack human X-specific satellite DNA. A 1.2 kb EcoRI fragment was subcloned from the CX16-2D12 cosmid and was named 2D12/E2. DNA sequencing revealed that this 1,205 bp fragment consisted of approximately five tandemly repeated DNA monomers of 220 bp. DNA sequence homology between the monomers of 2D12/E2 ranged from 72.8% to 78.6%. Interestingly, DNA sequence analysis of the 2D12/E2 clone displayed a change in monomer unit orientation between nucleotide positions 585–586 from a tail-to-head arrangement to a head-to-tail configuration. This may reflect the existence of at least one inversion within this repetitive DNA array in the centromeric region of the human X chromosome. The DNA consensus sequence derived from a compilation of these 220 bp monomers had approximately 62% DNA sequence similarity to the previously determined 8 satellite DNA consensus sequence. Comparison of the 2D12/E2 and 8 consensus sequences revealed a 20 bp DNA sequence that was well conserved in both DNA consensus sequences. Slot-blot analysis revealed that this repetitive DNA sequence comprises approximately 0.015% of the human genome, similar to that found with 8 satellite DNA. These observations suggest that this satellite DNA clone is derived from a subfamily of satellite DNA and is thus designated X satellite DNA. When genomic DNA from six unrelated males and two unrelated females was cut with SstI or HpaI and separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, no restriction fragment length polymorphisms were observed for either X (2D12/E2) or 8 (50E4) probes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization localized the 2D12/E2 clone to the lateral sides of the primary constriction specifically on the human X chromosome.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Weiterführung derLorenz'schen Bewegungsstudien an Anatinen aus dem Jahre 1941, fortgesetzt an Mischlingen zwischen den dort beschriebenen Arten. Die sich dabei ergebenden Befunde machten eine erneute Untersuchung der Elternarten notwendig. Außerdem wurden einige Arten beobachtet, deren Verhalten noch nicht untersucht worden war. Fragestellung und Begründung werden in der Einleitung gegeben.Im zweiten Abschnitt werden einige der vonLorenz gemachten Beobachtungen berichtigt. So zeigten einige der Kreuzungen mitbahamensis, daß die vonLorenz bei eben dieser Art als Kurzhoch-werden bezeichnete Bewegungsweise dem Ab-auf anderer Schwimmenten homolog ist. Ebenso ist die eine der beiden vonLorenz als Kurzhoch-werden bezeichneten Verhaltensweisen des Krickerpels als Ab-auf zu deuten. Der Gruß desflavirostre-Erpels wurde auch bei weiblichen Tieren gesehen. BeiAnas acuta wurde ein Kinnheben festgestellt, das sich in der Form stark vom Kinnheben beiplatyrhynchos unterscheidet. Als neue Verhaltensweisen wurden u. a. das Haltungannehmen und das Tendieren beimflavirostre-Erpel beschrieben.Im dritten Abschnitt werden einige Verhaltensweisen und ihre Funktion diskutiert und der Versuch gemacht, eine Motivationsanalyse zu geben.(Zeichnungen vonHermann Kacher)  相似文献

180 rainbow trouts (Salmo gairdneriRich.), aged from 1 to 3 years, were examined for fluctuations, caused by age and season, by means of colour index (CI), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).CI and MCH behave similarly. Both are increasing until the 2nd year and stay relatively constant thereafter. If the gender is not considered — there are no significant differences in the values of males and females — the CI increases from 1,4 in the first year over 1,6 to 1,7 in the age of 3 years, and the MCH increases from 44,4 over 52,6 , 56,8 , 58,1 to 55,5 .A seasonal periodicity of both indices could not be indicated on not-matured animals (F2) which were two summers of age. Only, the january values appeared increased — CI: 2, MCH: 68,3 — otherwise the CI varies between 1,8 and 1,7 and the MCH between 53,3 and 59,1 .The MCHC-values of the age groups examined vary between 24,4% and 27,3%. The values of the yearlings form an exception (19,8%). These values certainly are inexact and too low because of the small number of individuals checked (3).

Zusammenfassung Achtzehn chemisch verschiedene synthetische Zellstreckungswuchs- und Hemmstoffe wurden an Epidermisschnitten von acht verschiedenen dicotylen und monocotylen Pflanzen hinsichtlich ihrer toxischen Wirkung auf das Plasma untersucht und die jeweils letal wirkende Konzentration bestimmt.Unter den getesteten typischen Zellstreckungswuchsstoffen konnte keine Substanz gefunden werden, die auf das Protoplasma der Testpflanzen stark toxisch wirkte. Bei den Zellstreckungshemmstoffen konnten zwei Gruppen unterschieden werden: Die eine Gruppe von Hemmstoffen war überaus stark toxisch wirksam, die andere dagegen nahezu ungiftig. Nachdem die Substanzen beider Gruppen im Zellstreckungstest aber starke Zellstreckungshemmung geben, wird angenommen, daß die ungiftigen Substanzen eine spezifische Wirkung auf das Zellstreckungssystem ausüben, während die giftigen Stoffe zumindest sekundär auf Grund einer allgemeinen Plasmaschädigung die Zellstreckung hemmen. Die getesteten Substanzen wurden ferner mit ihrer formativen Wirksamkeit auf Pflanzen verglichen und festgestellt, daß im allgemeinen nur in der Gruppe der ungiftigen Stoffe morphologisch aktive Substanzen zu finden sind.  相似文献

Embryogenic avocado cultures were exposed to ionizing irradiation in order to determine its effect on proliferation and subsequent somatic embryo development. The approximate PD50 as determined by linear regression is 35 Gy 2 weeks after irradiation for Fuerte 2.11.1 and 4 weeks after irradiation for T362 2.11.1. Irradiation of embryogenic cultures did not significantly affect the number of early stage Fuerte 2.11.1 somatic embryos that developed directly from irradiated cultures; however, 10–50 Gy inhibited somatic embryo development. Irradiation of T362 2.11.1 embryogenic cultures at 25–50 Gy inhibited the number of intermediate and mature stages of somatic embryos that developed directly from irradiated cultures, and 50 Gy inhibited somatic embryo maturation. Inhibition of somatic embryo development could be partially offset by proliferation of irradiated embryogenic cultures as suspensions. Irradiation up to 10 Gy significantly increased the number of mature Fuerte 2.11.1 somatic embryos that developed from suspension cultures. Irradiation with doses up to 25 Gy stimulated development of heart stage T362 2.11.1 somatic embryos; however, mature somatic embryo development was suppressed at dosages of 10 Gy and greater.  相似文献

1,4 galactosyltransferase 1 ( 1,4GT1) synthesizes Gal 14GlcNAc groups in N-linked sugar chains of animal glycoproteins, which have been demonstrated to play an important role in many biological events, including sperm-egg interaction, cell migration and mammalian embryonic development. In this study, the mRNA level of 1,4GT1 was found to increase greatly during the 7721 hepatocarcinoma cells apoptosis induced by cycloheximide. Ricinus Communis Agglutinin-I staining indicated generous increase of Gal 14GlcNAc groups during apoptosis. Further study showed that the 7721 hepatocarcinoma cells transiently transfected with 1,4GT1 were more susceptible to the apoptosis induced by cycloheximide. The increased susceptibility was in accordance to the transfection concentration of 1,4GT1, which also led to the increased Gal 14GlcNAc groups on the transfected cell surface. All the observations suggested that 1,4GT1 and Gal 14GlcNAc groups might be associated with the apoptosis of human hepatocarcinoma cells.  相似文献

An analytical review is performed of the literature data on the hydrolysis rate, affinity of substrate to active center, and constants of the substrate inhibition (K ss) at hydrolysis of the choline (acetyl-, propyonyl-, butyrylcholine, acetyl--methylcholine) and/or of corresponding thiocholine substrates by 59 cholinesterases from 49 different animals (chordate, insects, molluscs, nematodes). The characteristic peculiarities of enzymes from different groups of animals are revealed. The absence of regular changes of parameters of the cholinesterase substrate specificity in the course of evolutionary development is shown.  相似文献

Somatic embryo formation was induced from cotyledon explants of Styrian pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L. subsp. pepo var. styriaca Greb.) by using a solid MS medium supplemented with 16.11M NAA and 4.44M BA or 26.85M NAA and 13.32M BA. The callus proliferation was more efficient on medium supplemented with 26.85M NAA and 13.32M BA. In contrast, the embryogenic response was higher on medium with lower concentrations of growth regulators (16.11M NAA and 4.44M BA). The time needed for embryo induction did not depend on medium composition. Embryos in globular stage were transferred to three different maturation media, containing 2.89M GA3 in combination with 0.54M NAA, 11.42M IAA and growth regulator-free medium. The germination rate was the highest when embryos were cultured on medium with 11.42M IAA. Plantlets grown on this medium achieved maturity suitable for transplantation into soil within 9 to 10weeks. The regenerated plants were successfully transferred into field and developed fertile flowers and set fruits. Biochemical analysis showed significant lower total glutathione levels among in vitro grown plantlets compared to seedlings grown in soil. When the plantlets were transferred into soil, they reached a normal size within a month and the glutathione concentration was comparable to seed-derived plants at the same developmental stage. Transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate possible differences in the ultrastructure of cells from callus cultures, and leaf cells of regenerated and seed-derived plants. Differences in the ultrastructure were found within chloroplasts which contained only single thylakoids, large starch grains and small plastoglobuli in callus cells in comparison to leaf cells, which possessed a well developed thylakoid system, small starch grains and large plastoglobuli.  相似文献

The parallel /-barrel domain consisting of eight parallel -sheets surrounded by eight -helices has been currently identified in crystal structures of more than 20 enzymes. This type of protein folding motif makes it possible to catalyze various biochemical reactions on a variety of substrates (i.e., it seems to be robust enough so that different enzymatic functionalities could be designed on it). In spite of many efforts aimed at elucidation of evolutionary history of the present-day /-barrels, a challenging question remains unanswered: How has the parallel /-barrel fold arisen? Although the complete sequence comparison of all /-barrel amino acid sequences is not yet available, several sequence similarities have been revealed by using the highly conserved regions of -amylase as structural templates. Since many starch-processing enzymes adopt the parallel /-barrel structure these enzymes might be useful in the search for evolutionary relationships of the whole parallel eight-folded /-barrel enzyme family.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Aus Blumenkohl (Brassica oleracea var.botrytis L.) wurden die darin enthaltenen Indolverbindungen nach vier verschiedenen Methoden extrahiert.Nach der papierchromatographischen und papierelektrophoretischen Aufgliederung der Extrakte aus Blumenkohlrosengewebe konnten insgesamt 13 mit Sprühreagentien färbbare Zonen nachgewiesen werden, bei denen es sich zum größten Teil um Indolderivate handeln dürfte. Hiervon wurden Tryptophan, -Indolylcarbonsäure, -Indolylessigsäure, -Indolylpropionsäure, -Indolylaldehyd und -Indolylacetonitril identifiziert.In den Blättern des Blumenkohls kommen im wesentlichen die gleichen Indolverbindungen wie in den Blumenkohlrosen vor.Die in den verschiedenen Entwicklungsstadien und Pflanzenteilen des Blumenkohls vorliegenden Mengen an -Indolylcarboxylsäure, -Indolylessigsäure und -Indolylpropionsäure wurden quantitativ bestimmt und untereinander verglichen; die Menge des jeweils vorhandenen -Indolylacetonitrils konnte aus methodischen Gründen nur relativ bestimmt werden.Bei der quantitativen Bestimmung konnte — bezogen auf das Frischgewicht — in den Blättern im Laufe der Ontogenie eine Zunahme im Gehalt an -Indolylcarboxylsäure, -Indolylessigsäure und -Indolylpropionsäure festgestellt werden. Beim -Indolylacetonitril-Gehalt der Blätter zeigte sich gleichfalls eine Zunahme während der Entwicklung; ausgewachsene Blätter von Pflanzen mit Rosen (Tabelle 3, Stadium 4) wiesen aber einen geringeren Gehalt an -Indolylacetonitril auf als die Blätter jüngerer Pflanzen (Stadium 1–3).Der Gehalt an -Indolylcarboxylsäure, -Indolylessigsäure, -Indolylpropionsäure und -Indolylacetonitril ist im Gewebe von Blumenkohlrosen wesentlich höher als in den anderen extrahierten Pflanzenteilen (Blätter, Blütensprosse und Blüten, unreife Früchte).Mit 1 TextabbildungErster Teil einer Dissertation der Naturwissenschaftlich-Philosophischen Fakultät der Justus Liebig-Universität, Gießen.Die Abkürzungen der Indolverbindungen sind auf S. 467 und in Tabelle 1 zusammengestellt.  相似文献

Summary Candida pelliculosa var. acetaetherius is a strain of yeast which can utilize cellobiose as the carbon source. From a gene library prepared from this yeast, the -glucosidase gene has been cloned in a S. cerevisiae host using a chromogenic substrate, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl--glucoside as an indicator. It was proved by Southern analysis that the DNA fragment carrying the -glucosidase gene originated from C. pelliculosa. -Glucosidase produced by S. cerevisiae transformants was secreted into the periplasmic space. In Candida, -glucosidase was not induced by cellobiose but was derepressed by lowering the concentration of glucose. The regulation of -glucosidase synthesis in S. cerevisiae carrying the cloned -glucosidase was not clear compared with that in Candida, however, the enzyme activity in low glucose medium (0.05%) was reproducibly higher than in high glucose medium (2%). We have found the sequence that controls the expression of the -glucosidase gene negatively in S. cerevisiae.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Harzkonservierte Fossilien ermöglichen bei Anwendung adäquater Methoden die morphologische Analyse der Feinmerkmale bis zur Auflösungsgrenze des Lichtmikroskops, Beobachtung in verschiedenen Ebenen und Richtungen, und somit konkrete Rückschlüsse auf die Wirkung und Bedeutung der Einzelelemente und des Gesamtgefüges.Eine so eingehende funktionsmorphologische Analyse mit Berücksichtigung der Positionsvariation (graduell verschiedene Gestaltung in gesetzmäßiger Abhängigkeit von der Lage innerhalb der Gesamtfeder) der Einzelelemente wie Abzweigungs-, Knick-, Neigungswinkel, Krümmung, Länge, Dicke, Querschnitt, Dichte, Differenzierungsgrad der verschiedenen Abschnitte von Rhachis, Rami, Radii inklusive Häkchen und Cirren wird erstmals für fossile Vogelfedern geliefert (hier als Abriß zu einer dokumentarisch und thematisch ausführlicheren Darstellung in Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde).Diese Federn entstammen der untersten Unterkreide und sind damit nur relativ wenig jünger alsArchaeopteryx. Sie weisen extrem differenzierten Aufbau auf, der auf hohe flugtechnische und wärmeisolierende Leistungsfähigkeit schließen läßt.Die hier vorgelegten funktionsmorphologischen Ermittlungen an fossilen Körperkonturfedern mögen auch zu einer intensiveren Analyse der bis jetzt stark vernachlässigten Untersuchung ganz normaler Körperfedern rezenter Vögel anregen. Erst dann, nach umfassender Kenntnis ihrer Ausgestaltung innerhalb der verschiedensten rezenten Vogelgruppen, läßt sich überzeugend begründen, ob und wieweit die hier vorgelegten Federn dieses Unterkreide-Vogels noch ursprüngliche Elemente (Plesiomorphien) oder ihnen eigene Sonderbildungen (Autapomorphien) aufweisen; das gilt sowohl für morphologische wie für funktionelle Elemente der Gesamtstruktur.
Resin-preserved fossil bird's feathers from the Lowermost Cretaceous
Summary Parts of some feathers, originating from a single bird, were discovered in our collections of Lower Cretaceous amber from the Lebanon mountains — which, in general, contains the oldest terrestrial microfossils preserved with all morphological details.These contour feathers of the trunk, which are nearly as old as Archaeopteryx (Lowermost Cretaceous: Neocomian/Uppermost Jurassic: Kimmeridigian) were studied with magnifications of 500–900 in several levels by a special technique. (In normal fossils, i.e., impressions, the granulation of the sediment and the fossil's bulky carbon remainders cause a blurred image even at a magnification of merely 100).Special emphasis was laid on the study of the individual elements' gradual variation, depending on the respective position within the total feather (position variation). Where appropriate, an analysis of lengths, quantity, degree of differentiation, angle of inclination, break, and branching, cross-sectional view, curvature, etc. of the rhachis, rami, distal and proximal radii, barbicles, hooklets, etc. were undertaken. [Through measurements of the depth of details the effects caused by a sloping position (apparent variation) may be precisely separated from the real variation.]On the basis of such a detailed knowledge of structure and relative position a thorough functional analysis of the single elements as well as the total system is given.Principal features: The production of plain stability in the feather's center, and of flexibility in its apical and lateral rims; dispersion of forces in case of pressure or a pulling load; function of the hooklets (which donot serve as an interlocking mechanism while the feather is in the normal resting position, but function with increasing braking action only when a neighboring ramus diverges to a precisely defined extent from its resting position) including the mechanism of their unhooking; devices for the avoidance of harmful hooking into contacted parts of other feathers; production of maximal stability by minimal air resistance, and of minute chambers (<0,00001 mm3) with still air for optimal heat isolation.Apart from this abstract, further information, accompanied by numerous figures, will be given in a later paper in Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde.

Of 98 strains of moulds, isolated from arctic soils, Mortierella minutissima 01, grew the best on agar plates with limonene vapor. Perillyl alcohol and perillic acid were the main products of limonene biotransformation. Maximal yield of perillyl alcohol (125mgl–1) occurred in medium containing 0.8% substrate, at 15°C, pH 6 and after 4–5 d.

The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of AT1 receptor blockade which occurred in response to losartan, on the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation process in the Bio 14.6 (n = 12) and Bio 53.58 (n = 12) strains which are referred as models of hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy, respectively. The administration of losartan (30 mg/kg/day) in hamsters from 10–20 weeks of age reduced the accumulation of the left ventricular collagen matrix in both of the Bio 14.6 and the Bio 53.58 strains. According to the RTPCR, the levels of mRNA for matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and the tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP) were examined. MMP1, 2, 3, and 9 were more enhanced in both myopathic strains than in the control F1 strains. With losartan, the levels of MMP1, 2, 9, TIMP1 and 2 decreased in the both strains but those for MMP3 did not in Bio 14.6 strains. TIMP3 and 4 mRNA levels did not change in any of the experimental hamsters, whether treated or untreated with losartan. The Western blots also showed similar observations in the both strains as seen in mRNA expressions although MMP2 in the Bio 53.58 strains did not differ between treated and untreated with losartan. Although losartan has an inhibitory effect on collagen accumulation in the development of cardiomyopathy, MMPs (1, 2, 9) and TIMPs (1, 2) seem to be susceptible to responding to losartan in Bio cardiomyopathic hamsters.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Die Arbeit stellt die Frage nach den Kriterien des fossil belegten Biologischen Aufstiegs der Organismenwelt, d.h. derjenigen Vervollkommnung, die sich nicht innerhalb des Rahmens eines gegebenen Bauplans hält, wie die Anpassungsvervollkommnung, sondern über verschiedenrangige Baupläne hinweg zu höheren Typen führt, z.B. von den Fischen über die Amphibien und Reptilien zu den Säugern bzw. Vögeln. Ausführlich werden zwei Gruppen von Kriterien besprochen, ihr Inhalt dargelegt und ihre Eindeutigkeit zur Charakterisierung des Biologischen Aufstiegs untersucht. Die erste Gruppe umfasst die Kriterien der zunehmenden Differenzierung und harmonischeren Integration. Diese legen die morphologisch-physiologische Differenzierung oder genauer die Ganzheit der Organismen zugrunde, d.h. ihre Vielheit in der Einheit. Die zweite Kriteriengruppe, nämlich zunehmende Umweltunabhängigkeit und zunehmende individuelle Autonomie, geht von den Beziehungen des Organismus zur Umwelt und zu andern Lebensformen aus und betont die Subsistenz der Individuen, d.h. ihr grösseres oder geringeres Losgelöstsein oder ihre Selbständigkeit. Da nun Ganzheit und Subsistenz die entscheidenden Elemente einer biologischen Definition des Individuums sind, lässt sich sagen, dass der Biologische Aufstieg eines Organismus um so höher ist, je stärker seine Ganzheit und Subsistenz und damit sein Individuumsein ist.Eindeutigkeit kommt allen genannten Kriterien nicht zu. Die Gründe für ihre Unschärfe sind verschiedener Art. Zunächst gibt es noch keine eindeutige und vollständige Definition des biologischen Individuums, so dass sich nicht eindeutig umreissen lässt, was einem Organismus eine stärkere oder weniger starke Individualität verleiht. Dann sind die Linien, über die sich Vervollkommnungen vollziehen und von denen die eine innerhalb des Bauplans bleibt (Anpassungsvervollkommnung), die andere aber über ihn hinausführt (Biologischer Aufstieg) so innig und in so eigenartiger Weise miteinander verflochten, dass sie sich nicht sauber scheiden und in ihren charakteristischen Merkmalen genau beschreiben lassen. Jeder Vertreter eines Bauplans, ganz gleich von welcher Ranghöhe, ist nämlich notwendig in eine Umwelt eingepasst und irgendwie spezialisiert. Es gibt keine Typen mit reinen Bauplanmerkmalen, die nach keiner Richtung hin eine Anpassungsvervollkommnung, sondern nur Merkmale des Biologischen Aufstiegs aufweisen. Schliesslich kennen wir fossil nur die Entfaltung oder Ausgestaltung der Grossbaupläne des Tierreichs, nämlich des Wirbeltierstammes und der verschiedenen Gruppen der Wirbellosen, nicht aber das Interessanteste und Wichtigste, nämlich ihren Biologischen Aufstieg zu der organisatorischen Höhe, mit der sie sich im Silur bzw. im Kabrium bereits vorstellen. Das erst würde einen tieferen Einblick in das Wesen des Biologischen Aufstiegs vermitteln.
Summary This article deals with the question of the criteria for the biological ascent (Biologischer Aufstieg) of the organic world, resting on fossil evidence. That is, of that improvement which is not only restricted to the framework of a given general structure (Bauplan) as is the improvement of adaptation, but which also leads beyond general structures (Baupläne) of differentiated levels to a higher type,e.g. from the fishes through the amphibians and reptiles to the mammals or birds. Two groups of criteria are discussed at length, their content exposed and their univocity for the characterisation of this biological ascent is examined. The first group includes the criteria of increasing differentiation and more harmonious integration. The basis for these is the morphological-physiological differentiation, or more exactly, the totality of the organisms,i.e., their variety-in-unity. The second group of criteria, increasing independence of environment and increasing individual autonomy, is derived from the relationships of the organism to its environment and to other living forms, and stresses the subsistence of individuals,i.e., their greater or lesser degree of independence or self-sufficiency. Now since totality and subsistence are the decisive elements in a biological definition of the individual, it may be said that the biological ascent of an organism is higher, the more perfect its totality and subsistence and therefore its individuality is.The criteria mentioned are not univocal. The reasons for this lack of clarity are varied. First of all, there is no univocal and complete definition of the biological individual, so that it cannot be exactly stated just what gives an organism a more or less perfect individuality. Then the lines, along which improvements are made, and according to which the one remains within the general structure (improvement of adaptation) and the other goes beyond the general structure (biological ascent), are so intimately and singularly bound together, that they cannot be cleanly distinguished, and their characteristic notes exactly described. For each representative of a general structure, regardless of its level, is necessarily fitted into an environment and somehow or other specialised. There are no types with only notes of the general structure which show in no direction an improvment of adaption, but only the signs of biological ascent. Finally, we only have fossil evidence for the development or deployment of the great general structures (Grossbaupläne) of the animal world, namely that of the vertebrates and of the different groups of invertebrates, not for the most interesting and most important, that is, their biological ascent to the level of organisation with which they are found in the Silurian or Cambrian periods. Only that would give us a deeper insight into the essence of biological ascent.

Résumé Ce travail pose la question des critères de la progression biologique (Biologischer Aufstieg), d'après les documents fossiles, dans le monde des organismes, c'est-à-dire de ce perfectionnement qui ne s'arrête pas à l'intérieur du cadre d'un phylum (Bauplan) donné, comme le perfectionnement de l'adaptation, mais qui conduit, au-de-là de phylums (Baupläne) de rang différent, à des types supérieurs, par exemple, des Poissons pas les Amphibies et les Reptiles jusqu'aux Mammifères ou aux Oiseaux. Deux groupes de critères y sont recensés en détail, leur contenu est exposé, et on les examine pour voir s'ils caractérisent sans ambiguïté la progression biologique. Le premier groupe comprend les critères de différenciation croissante et d'intégration harmonique. Ils sont fondés sur la différenciation morphophysiologique ou plus exactement sur la totalité des organismes, c'est-à-dire leur multiplicité dans l'unité. Le second groupe de critères, à savoir indépendance croissante du milieu et autonomie individuelle croissante, part des relations de l'organisme au milieu et aux autres formes vivantes et souligne la subsistence des individus, c'est-à-dire leur plus ou moins grande indépendence ou leur stabilité interne. Comme totalité et subsistence sont les éléments décisifs d'une définition biologique de l'individu, on peut dire que la progression biologique d'un organisme est d'autant plus élevée que sa totalité et subsistence et par là son être individuel sont plus accusés.Tous les critères mentionnés ne sont pas uniformes. Les motifs de leur imprécision sont divers. Tout d'abord, il n'y a pas encore de définition unique et complète de l'individu biologique, de sorte qu'on ne peut circonscrire d'une manière univoque ce qui confère à un organisme une individualité plus forte ou moins forte. Ensuite les lignées au-delà desquelles s'accomplissent des perfectionnements, et dont l'une reste intérieur au phylum (perfectionnement de l'adaptation), tandis que l'autre le transcende (progression biologique), sont entrelacées si intimement et d'une façon si particulière qu'elles ne se laissent pas séparer franchement et décrire rigoureusement selon leurs signes distinctifs. Tout représentant d'un phylum, peu importe son palier, est en effet nécessairement inséré dans un milieu et en quelque façon spécialisé. Il n'existe pas des types à caractères phylétiques purs, qui ne montrent dans aucune direction un perfectionnement de l'adaptation, mais seulement des marques caractéristiques de la progression biologique. Enfin nous ne connaissons pas les restes fossiles que le développement ou la formation des grands phylums (Grossbaupläne) du règne animal, à savoir du rameau des Vertébrés et des divers groupes des Invertébrés, mais non pas le plus intéressant et le plus important, leur progression biologique jusqu'au degré d'organisation qu'ils présentent déjà à l'époque du Silurien ou plutôt du Cambrien. C'est cela seulement qui permettrait une vue plus profonde sur la nature de la progression biologique.

Summary The question, Is Hb G Philadelphia linked to -thalassaemia? was first posed because the abnormal haemoglobin is found in heterozygotes at a concentration greater than 25%, the proportion predicted from a 4 -chain gene model. Globin chain biosynthesis was studied in a West Indian family in which one parent had + thalassaemia and the other was heterozygous for the G Philadelphia chain gene. The former had a globin chain production ratio / well above 1, while the latter had a ratio significantly less than 1. One child of the marriage had inherited the + thallassaemia from one parent and the G Philadelphia chain gene from the other and showed the typical picture of /-thalassaemia (/ ratio slightly above normal). It is explained in the discussion that the evidence favours a close linkage of 2 -chain genes.  相似文献

During a study on the preparation of the conformationally restricted analogue of tryptophan into 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro--carboline-3-carboxylic acid 1 by a Pictet–Spengler condensation with formaldehyde, two side products were detected: N-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro--carboline-3-carboxylic acid 2 and a dimer 3 of two 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro--carboline-3-carboxylic acid units linked by a methylene group. Their structures were determined by HPLC-MS and 2D NMR spectroscopy. By changing the isolation procedure, the N-hydroxymethyl compound was removed. Treatment of the mixture with TFA in water converted the dimer into 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro--carboline-3-carboxylic acid 1.  相似文献

Immunocytochemical demonstration of protein kinase C (PKC) subspecies (, , ) was carried out in Pacinian corpuscles of rat hind feet using monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies against each of these subspecies. The inner core cells and lamellae and the Schwann cell cytoplasm of the nerve fiber innervating the corpuscle were strongly positive for PKC -immunoreactivity (IR). In contrast, the axon terminal and the outer core did not display any positive -IR. Very weak PKC -IR was detected in the ultraterminal region of the axon terminal, while the trunk region showed no immunoreactivity. Very faint PKC -IR was found also in the lamellar cells located at the periphery of the inner core and the endoneurial fibroblasts in the intermediate layer. PKC -IR was not detected in any part of the corpuscle. The strong PKC -IR in the inner core and the presence of absence of PKC -, -, and -IR in the axon terminal are discussed from the point of view of the functional aspects of each part.  相似文献
