Comparing the frequencies of restriction fragment length polymorphisms for dystrophin gene in Chinese with those from Japanese and Caucasian populations

The restriction fragment length polymorphisms distribution and frequency of dystrophin gene in Chinese were studied by using 14 subclones of the entire 14kb cDNA for the dystrophin as hybridization probes. Allelic fragments were detected in hybridization patterns of PvuⅡ/la, Taq Ⅰ/2b-3, Taq Ⅰ/5b-7, and Xba Ⅰ/10. Among them, the allelic fragments (26kb and 3.8kb) in PvuⅡ/2b-3 pattern and the allelic fragments (10.0kb and 8.4kb) in Taq Ⅰ/5b-7 patterns had never been reported previously. Compared with the data from Caucasians and Japanese, it indicated that there was a significant difference (P<0.01) of the allelic fragment frequency in Taq Ⅰ/2b-3 and Xba Ⅰ/10 patterns between Chinese and Caucasians. The frequencies of allelic fragments A2 (5.6kb) in Taq Ⅰ/8 and A2 (10.Tkb) in EcoR Ⅴ/9 were high in Caucasians, yet had not been detected in Chinese, the differences were also highly significant. But in Chinese and Caucasians, the B1B2 allelic frequencies in Taq Ⅰ/5b-7 are the same. As to the frequency of the allelic fragments A1A2 and B1B2 in Pvu Ⅱ/la, there was no significant difference between Chinese and Japanese.     

不同生境下青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przewalskii)两亚种鳃形态差异及其功能适应

该研究比较观察青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przewalskii)两亚种(青海湖裸鲤指名亚种(Gymnocypris przewalskii przewalskii)和青海湖裸鲤甘子河亚种(Gymnocypris przewalskii ganzihonensis))鳃的形态及显微结构。结果显示,指名亚种的第一鳃弓鳃耙数多、密集且较长,而甘子河亚种则耙数少、稀疏且短;两者的鳃丝间距及鳃小片间距无明显差异,指名亚种的鳃丝较长;指名亚种扁平上皮细胞形态以不规则椭圆形为主,鳃丝表面有黏液细胞,其上分布的氯细胞数量多于甘子河亚种,而甘子河亚种扁平上皮细胞的形态以六边形为主,鳃丝表皮未观察到黏液细胞。由此推测,青海湖裸鲤两亚种鳃形态的差异与其食性和栖息环境相适应。     

猪雌激素受体基因Pvu II多态性与产仔数性状的关系

雌激素受体（estrogen receptor,ESR）能调控雌激素的合成,影响繁殖功能。将ESR基因作为控制猪产仔数的候选基因,分析其Pvu II多态性与高产猪种莱芜猪和国外引进猪种长白猪产仔数的关系。序列分析发现,PCR扩增区56bp的Pvu II酶切片段位于RFLP分析获得的37kb正向序列的起始部分。因ESR基因在高产仔数的莱芜猪中的Pvu II多态性分布不能证实B基因为优势基因,故推测37kb条带对该猪种产仔数可能不起决定作用。 Abstract:Estrogen receptor (ESR) can regulate the synthesis of oestrogen and affect the reproduction of swine.The relationship between PvuII polymorphisms at estrogen receptor gene and litter size was analyzed in Laiwu breed and Landrace breed by candidate gene method.The results were shown that 56bp of PvuII polymorphisms was the same as the beginning sequence of 37kb of RFLP.The distribution of PvuII polymorphisms also could not prove that B gene was a superior gene,and there was no decisive effect of 37kb band on litter size in pigs.

Role for dopamine in malonate-induced damage in vivo in striatum and in vitro in mesencephalic cultures

Defects in mitochondrial energy metabolism have been implicated in the pathology of several neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, the reactive metabolites generated from the metabolism and oxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) are thought to contribute to the damage to neurons of the basal ganglia. We have previously demonstrated that infusions of the metabolic inhibitor malonate into the striata of mice or rats produce degeneration of DA nerve terminals. In the present studies, we demonstrate that an intrastriatal infusion of malonate induces a substantial increase in DA efflux in awake, behaving mice as measured by in vivo microdialysis. Furthermore, pretreatment of mice with tetrabenazine (TBZ) or the TBZ analogue Ro 4-1284 (Ro-4), compounds that reversibly inhibit the vesicular storage of DA, attenuates the malonate-induced DA efflux as well as the damage to DA nerve terminals. Consistent with these findings, the damage to both DA and GABA neurons in mesencephalic cultures by malonate exposure was attenuated by pretreatment with TBZ or Ro-4. Treatment with these compounds did not affect the formation of free radicals or the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation resulting from malonate exposure alone. Our data suggest that DA plays an important role in the neurotoxicity produced by malonate. These findings provide direct evidence that inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase causes an increase in extracellular DA levels and indicate that bioenergetic defects may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic neurodegenerative diseases through a mechanism involving DA.     

Scurvy in capybaras bred in captivity in Argentine

In order to determine if the absence of vitamin C in the diet of capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) causes scurvy, a group of seven young individuals were fed food pellets without ascorbic acid, while another group of eight individuals received the same food with 1 g of ascorbic acid per animal per day. Animals in the first group developed signs of scurvy-like gingivitis, breaking of the incisors and death of one animal. Clinical signs appeared between 25 and 104 days from the beginning of the trial in all individuals. Growth rates of individuals deprived of vitamin C was considerably less than those observed in the control group. Deficiency of ascorbic acid had a severe effect on reproduction of another population of captive capybaras. We found that the decrease in ascorbic acid content in the diet affected pregnancy, especially during the first stages. The results obtained suggest that it is necessary to supply a suitable quantity of vitamin C in the diet of this species in captivity.     

Changes in lactate dehydrogenase activity in chicken tissues in hyperthyreosis in ontogenesis

The lactate dehydrogenase activity in reactions of lactate oxidation and synthesis was studied in subfractions of the chicken brain, heart and liver at the embryonal, early postembryonal and adult stages of development after thyroxine administration. It has been shown that during embryogenesis thyroxine predominantly enhanced the rate of lactate oxidation in the mitochondrial tissues. A marked increase in the lactate synthesis was found in cytoplasm of the adult chicken tissues. Specificity of enzyme activity alterations was detected in the chicken brain during ontogenesis after thyroxine administration.
