禽呼肠孤病毒变异株的分离鉴定

从病鸡肝分离到一株病毒,经电镜检查、理化特性分析、核酸电泳和中和试验等证明它为禽呼肠孤病毒（ＡＲＶ）。该病毒只在鸡胚肝细胞（ＣＥＬｉ）上产生细胞病变（ＣＰＥ）,在鸡胚成纤维细胞（ＣＥＦ）和Ｖ＿（ｅｒｏ）细胞上不增殖,它对热无敏感,Ｍｇ￣（２＋）不能增强其对热的稳定性,其基因组中的４个小节段的迁移率与ＡＲＶＦＤＯ和Ｓ＿（１１３３）株明显不同,表明它是不同于ＦＤＯ和Ｓ＿（１１３３）的ＡＲＶ变异株。

引起番茄坏死病的黄瓜花叶病毒TN分离物的研究

从南京郊区田间番茄坏死病株中分离出黄瓜花叶病毒ＴＮ分离物,经人工接种１０科３９种植物,能侵染其中的８科２６种,接种番茄,辣椒和普通烟都引起坏死症状。ＴＮ分离物的失毒温度为５０℃,稀释限点５×１０￣（－３）－５×１０￣（－４）,体外存活期１－２天。蚜虫以非持久性方式传毒,经免疫双扩散测定,ＴＮ分离物与黄瓜花叶病毒抗血清呈阳性反应。用差速离心提纯的病毒粒子经电镜观察为廿面体,直径为２８ｎｍ。ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ分析病毒外壳蛋白为单一组份,分子量２７５００Ｄ。病毒核酸组份分析发现,该病毒分离物含有ＣＭＶ基因组核酸和一个低分子量的卫星ＲＮＡ。以上结果同已报道的引起番茄坏死的带卫星ＲＮＡ的黄瓜花叶病毒株系一致（Ｋｅａｒｎｅｙ,Ｃ．Ｍ．１９９０;Ｊｏｒｄａ,Ｃ．１９９２）。本文还讨论了该病害的发生和流行。     

血管活性肠肽对兔支气管上皮细胞抗臭氧损伤的保护作用

用支气管刷洗法收集新西兰兔支气管上皮细胞（ＢＥＣ）,以臭氧（Ｏ３）攻击培养的ＢＥＣ,建立细胞损伤模型。测定ＢＥＣ的３Ｈ释放率计算Ｏ３的细胞毒指数（ＣＩ）、测定细胞内丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）的含量反映细胞氧化性损伤的程度,测定细胞内过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）活性及还原型和氧化型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ和ＧＳＳＧ）的含量反映细胞抗氧化能力。观察血管活性肠肽（ＶＩＰ）预处理对ＢＥＣ的细胞保护作用并初步探讨其保护机制。观察到：ＢＥＣ的３Ｈ释放率与Ｏ３暴露时间成正比;Ｏ３暴露２ｈ使ＭＤＡ含量和ＧＳＳＧ含量明显增加,ＧＳＨ减少;ＶＩＰ预处理呈剂量依赖性降低Ｏ３暴露的ＣＩ值、降低ＭＤＡ和ＧＳＳＧ含量、增加ＧＳＨ及ＧＳＨ／ＧＳＳＧ比值、增加ＣＡＴ活性,显示出细胞保护效应;ＶＩＰ的保护效应可被放线菌素Ｄ（Ａ－Ｄ）或蛋白激酶Ｃ阻断剂Ｈ７部分取消。结果表明：Ｏ３暴露会导致ＢＥＣ损伤,ＶＩＰ可通过增强ＢＥＣ的抗氧化能力而保护ＢＥＣ,ＶＩＰ的信号在细胞内的转导途径与基因转录及依赖ＰＫＣ的酶蛋白磷酸化有关。     

一组丝瓜籽小分子核糖体失活蛋白LuffinS的分离、纯化和性质

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

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.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.
