抗—HCV阴性献血员中丙型肝炎病毒RNA检测及序列分析

对95份抗—HCVIgG阴性献血员采用逆转录聚合酶链反应法（PCR）检测丙型肝炎病毒RNA,结果8次中有6次其检测出17份阳性标本（17／95,17．9％）,复查抗—HCVIgG仍为阴性。对其中8份阳性产物中高变区1的序列分析结果表明均为不同株HCV序列．排除了PCR污染的可能性。对其中2份阳性产物测定了全序列并与HCV各基因型代表株的相应序列比较,与HCVⅡ型相应序列的核苷酸同源性为77％～79％。而与HCVⅠ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ相应序列间的同源性为62％～69％,表明为HCVⅡ型序列。结果提示献血员抗—HCVIgG筛选不能完全排除HCV感染者,漏检不是由于HCV基因序列变异．而是检测方法本身缺陷所致。

丙型肝炎病毒准种在NS2区的变异状况初探

探讨HCV准种在NS2区的基因结构特征及变异状况。利用逆转录－巢式PCR从1份HCV慢性携带者的阳性血清及1份丙肝患者的血清中获得HCV NS2全长cDNA,将其克隆于T载体,各随机挑取5个阳性克隆进行序列测定,结果显示克隆到HCV NS2全长基因,所测克隆在核苷酸水平和氨基酸水平互不相同。该慢性携带者HCV NS2区序列以完整读码框架（ORF）为主,一个于HCV多聚蛋白第835位氨基酸的位置出现终止信号,而该丙型肝炎患者以NS2N端发现终止信号的序列为主,其中三个于第835位氨基酸的位置出现终止信号,一个于第887位氨基酸的位置出现终止信号,仅一个克隆的序列为完整ORF。对ORF完整的序列进行比较,发现丙型肝炎患者氨基酸变异主要集中于N端,蛋白二级结构模拟显示丙肝患者NS2与慢性携带者的优势二级结构类似,研究表明从我们选择的两种感染者的HCV NS2序列看,不同临床类型的HCV病人体内的HCV准种在NS2区存在差异,这种差异可能与病毒存在于机体的状态一定的一致性。

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.
