陕西蓝田公王岭“蓝田伟猴”化石的再研究

蓝田公王岭动物群中,唯一的一种非人灵长类化石由胡长康、齐陶(1978)定名为Megamacaca lantianensis(蓝田伟猴)。但按其形态,我们觉得把它归于疣猴亚科比较适宜。特别是与该亚科中的金丝猴属(Rhinopithecus)更为相像,例如蓝田标本下颌支与下颌体垂直,冠状突略向后弯,齿尖起伏较大等都显示了金丝猴的一般性质。至此,本文将蓝田伟猴归于金丝猴属,保留原有种名:Rhinopithecus(Megamacaca)lantianensis(Hu and Qi)。时代为早更新世晚期。     

南京汤山早期人类及南方几个猿人遗址的生活环境

南京汤山的早期人类的地质时代相当于中更新世晚期,距今12.7—50万年。该动物群是一个单调的北方型动物群,生活在寒冷期,相当于深海氧同位素的等10阶段,距今33—37万年。郧县的古人类与蓝田的公王岭动物群同时,为早更新世,距今100—140万年。它们生活在温暖期,相当于欧洲的Waalian暖期。与元谋人共生的元谋动物群(相当于元谋组的第四段)包括许多典型的北方型动物,如复齿鼠兔,泥河湾剑齿虎、麅、羚羊等,故它们生活在寒冷期,也属早更新世,距今140—190万年。     

丹江库区晚新生代三种兔形类化石

记述了丹江库区周围发现的三种兔形类化石：产在丹江二级阶地基座岩层中的淅川跳兔（新种）Alloptoxxichuanwnsissp．nov．个体小,形态较早中新世中期的A．minor原始,其时代可能是早中新世早期,同时详细讨论了Alloptox的进化和分类;发现于台子山林场裂隙堆积物中的进步上新五褶兔（新种）Pliopentalagusprogressivussp.nov.个体为该属已知各种中最大者,形态较已知种更接近于现生的Pentalagus,它的时代可能为上新世末或更新世初;产于郧县曲远河口汉水Ⅳ级阶地的复齿拟鼠兔Ochotonoidescomplicidens与蓝田金丝猴发现于同一阶地,推测其时代为早更新世晚期。     

陕西渭南一早更新世哺乳动物群及其层位

在陕西渭南游河下游产有泥河湾动物群的三门组之下和上新世蓝田组之上的灰绿色堆积中,发现了许多哺乳类化石。其中的一些主要类别明显地具有其上新世种和更新世种之间的过渡特点。使整个动物群表现出与上下动物群都不相同的特有性质,因而把它称为“游河动物群”;其所在的一套地层称为“游河组”。时代为早更新世早期。     

山东淄博第四纪裂隙动物群

简要记述产自山东淄博孙家山裂隙群的主要哺乳动物化石,将之分为A、B、C三个动物群。A动物群时代与周口店第18地点相当,为早更新世早期;B动物群时代与周口店第9地点相当,为早更新世晚期;C动物群则可能与周口店第1地点中上部层位的时代相当,为中更新世中晚期。分析不同种类的生态类型并依据最小个体数的统计结果,认为早更新世早期本区为相对温湿的草原环境,附近可能有荒漠化现象;早更新世晚期气候较为温湿,无荒漠化现象;中晚更新世主要为林缘—灌丛环境,气候更为湿润。A动物群是华北地区早更新世早期特有的动物群,略具南北过渡区的特征;B动物群初具现代动物区系的面貌;C动物群基本与现代动物区系一致。     

湖南省西北部新发现的哺乳动物化石及其意义

本文记述了在慈利县发现的金丝猴下颌骨化石标本。报道了吉首县螺丝旋山洞出土的可能是更新世晚期的哺乳动物化石及其地层的情况;比较详细地研究了早更新世晚期的保靖县洞泡山动物群。并描述了大熊猫的一个新亚种——武陵山亚种。进一步证实在华南存在一个从柳城巨猿洞动物群向狭义的“大熊猫-剑齿象动物群”过渡类型的动物群。以上新发现的更新世哺乳动物化石及其地层对于湖南(尤其是湘西)第四纪的研究提供了重要资料     

川金丝猴脊神经腹侧支（躯干部）观察

本文较详细地叙述了川金丝猴脊神经腹侧支（躯干部）的分支分布,并发现川金丝猴无颈袢,无肩胛舌骨肌支,无枕小神经,第１、２腰神经腹侧支发出颅侧髂腹下神经和尾侧髂腹下神经。此外,对颈横神经、耳大神经、锁骨上神经等皮神经与颈皮肌的关系作了讨论。     

雌性川金丝猴尿中生殖激素变化的研究

用人促黄体生成素／绒毛膜促性腺激素诊断药盒及雌激素诊断药盒,定期测定４只雌性川金丝猴尿中黄体生成素和绒毛膜促性腺激素的活性及其与雌激素含量的关系。实验证明,两种人用诊断药盒可以测出金丝猴尿中的促黄体生成素（ＬＨ）／绒毛膜促性腺激素（ＣＧ）及雌激素（Ｅ）的变化情况。基本上反映了金丝猴的卵泡形成、排卵和黄体生成的时间以及妊娠的情况。ＬＨ／ＣＧ及Ｅ,每月有一个大的峰值,其后１－４天内有月经或尿潜血出现。妊娠初期ＬＨ／ＣＧ急剧上升,持续一个月达到最高峰后即急剧下降。Ｅ在ＬＨ／ＣＧ下降后开始升高,持续３－４个月达到最高峰,高峰下降后半个月左右分娩,分娩后重新升高,但低于原水平。金丝猴的繁殖行为,主要表现为邀配和交配,９－１２月频率最高。根据ＬＨ／ＣＧ曲线的变化可以推断受精的大约日期。     

唐家河国家级自然保护区川金丝猴生境适宜性评价

生境适宜性评价是濒危物种保护的重要基础。川金丝猴（Rhinopithecus roxellana）是栖息于温带森林的、中国特有的珍稀灵长类动物。位于岷山山系的四川唐家河国家级自然保护区是川金丝猴的重要分布地之一,但涉及该地区川金丝猴的生境信息却较缺乏。运用最大熵（Maximum entropy,MaxEnt）模型对四川唐家河国家级自然保护区川金丝猴不同季节的生境适宜性进行了研究,发现四个季节的训练集和验证集的受试者工作特征曲线下面积（Area under the receiver operator characteristic curve,AUC）值均超过0.8,说明模型预测结果较好。结果显示：（1）影响不同季节川金丝猴分布的主要因子是海拔、河流和道路。（2）川金丝猴的适宜生境面积存在季节性变化。其中,春季的适宜生境面积最大,为233.94 km²,占全区面积的58.48%;夏季的次之,为192.75 km²,占48.19%;秋冬季的适宜生境面积相对较低,分别为145.54 km²（占36.39%）和142.63 km²（占35.66%）。（3）川金丝猴的适宜生境分布具有明显的季节性垂直变化。研究揭示保护好完整的森林植被带对川金丝猴的生存具有重要意义,尤其要重视对人为干扰较强的低海拔生境的保护。     

金丝猴(Rhinopithecus)消化系统的主要特征

在疣猴科种类的消化系统研究中,Ayer（1948）对亚洲的长尾叶猴和Hill（1952）对非洲的橄榄疣猴作了较详细的研究。至于中国的金丝猴,除了本文作者（1983）对胃作了研究外,尚无其他报道。本文就金丝猴消化系统的主要特征报道于后,并与有关种类作了比较。     

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.     

肝癌中HBV和HCV基因和抗原的分布及意义

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

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.
