Effects of duration and intensity of illumination on eye weight, eye diameter, corneal diameter and anterior chamber depth were investigated in Warren chicks. Increase in eye weight was observed in continuous light, LD 22:2 and continuous darkness. Shallow anterior chamber and small corneal diameter were observed in continuous light and LD 22:2, but not in continuous darkness. Continuous bright light (5000 lux) did not induce an increase in the eye weight but instead induced severe lesions in the anterior segment of the eye. Injection of corticosterone (500 micrograms) induced a significant reduction in the eye weight. 相似文献

附子连作障碍效应初步研究 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
通过大田试验,调查了连作附子的生长发育、产量及病虫害的变化,分析附子的连作障碍原因;并通过实验室常规分析,测定连作土壤的理化性状,探讨附子连作障碍的形成机理。结果显示:随着连作年限的增加,连作附子株高、茎粗、母根直径、最大子根直径均出现了不同程度的下降,其中连作对附子株高和茎粗的影响极显著;连作使病、虫害逐年加重,产量显著下降;附子连作使土壤pH下降,有机质含量升高,全N、有效P、速效K过剩。结果表明,连作加重了附子根腐病的发生,影响了附子母根的正常发育,从而导致附子产量下降;连作导致土壤pH降低是影响附子正常生长的限制因子。因此通过采用科学的配方施肥措施,调节土壤pH值,改善土壤环境,是缓解附子连作障碍的重要途径。 相似文献

The development and the size distribution of free thick filaments which accumulate in the early stages of myofibril formation in somitic myoblasts of the ascidian tadpole were studied by electron microscopy. Such filaments appeared in the cell cortex but, rather dominantly, the aggregates of these thick filaments and filamentous structures were observed in the interior of the cell. The aggregate consisted of some of the following elements: filamentous structures (20–60 A in diameter); free thick filaments (60–220 A); dense Z-band precursor materials; bundles of thick (140–160 A) and thin (60–70 A) filaments; and ribosomal clusters. The free thick filaments were variable in diameter and showed long lateral projections (300–600 A) and tapered ends.
The variation curve in diameter of the free thick filaments indicates a continuous size distribution, suggesting the continuous growth of these filaments by polymerization of myosin molecules. Free thick filaments thicker than myosin filaments which were found within myofibrils were present; their significance is discussed in relation to myosin filament formation. 相似文献

A web-like reticulum underlying the human erythrocyte membrane was studied at a resolution of 5–10 nm by means of a scanning electron microscope. The network was visualized in isolated membranes (ghosts) torn open to reveal their interior space and in residues derived from ghosts extracted with Triton X-100. It formed a continuous (rather than patchy) cover over the entire cytoplasmic surface, except where lifted off or torn away. Filaments (5–40 nm in diameter), annular figures (40–60 nm in diameter), and nodes (30–100 nm in diameter) were prominent in different networks. The dimensions of the filaments and the interstices in the reticulum varied with conditions, suggesting that the network has elastic properties. This reticulum is probably related to the erythrocyte membrane proteins spectrin and actin. 相似文献

There is increasing morphologic evidence that neuromuscular synapses are not rigid structures in the mature muscles of adult animals. On the contrary, they may be submitted to a continuous process of remodelling. In silver-impregnated sternocleidomastoid muscles of the young adult rat, we measured synaptic parameters such as nerve terminal length, the number of branching points of terminal arborization, and muscle fiber diameter, and used a morphometric approach to explore specific questions concerning neuromuscular remodelling. Quantitative data indicate that: (a) The complexity and maturation of the nerve endings in this muscle are very variable and the increase in branching points is not paralleled by an increase in terminal length; (b) Muscle fiber diameter is related only marginally to presynaptic parameters; (c) Accessory ending formation occurs when the original ending does not reach the mean size of endings in singly innervated areas; (d) The complexity of individual endings at dually innervated junctions is smaller than the mean development of singly innervated synapses, indicating the existence of some mutual inhibitory influence between closely spaced endings. Morphometric results suggest a continuous process of synaptic formation in this adult muscle. 相似文献

Continuous chromatographic separations, especially of multicomponent mixtures, constitute interesting options for biotechnological downstream processing. Taking the separation of plasmid DNA from clearified lysates on hydroxyapatite as a pertinent example, we discuss the potential of continuous annular chromatography (CAC) in comparison with conventional (preparative) batch chromatography. In CAC the column is realized in the form of a thin (5 mm, height 210 mm) slowly rotating annulus. The performance of such a CAC column is compared to that of an ("analytical") batch column of similar thickness (diameter) and length (4 x 250 mm) and that of a ("preparative") batch column of similar cross-sectional surface area and height (50 x 210 mm). The quality of the obtained plasmid as defined by the appearance of the corresponding agarose gels (native and linearized plasmid), the 260/280 ratio and the biological activity (transient transfection of HEK 293 cells) was found to be identical in all three cases. The yields are also shown to be equivalent. The loading factor is found to be the most decisive parameter for the transfer of a given separation method between the continuous and the batch columns. Under nonoptimized conditions, plate numbers tended to be lower in the continuous compared to the batch columns. This is shown to be largely due to an artifact created by the CAC design (collection of averaged fractions at the outlets) and can be overcome by optimizing the rotation speed. Surprisingly the large batch column consistently gave better plate numbers than either the small batch or the CAC column. Compared to the preparative batch column, wall effects are more pronounced in the CAC (respectively the small diameter batch column), which may translate into better bed stability but conceivably also contributes to an increase in plate height, due to the reduction in bed density usually observed in the proximity of the wall. The CAC is shown to be a powerful approach to continuous chromatography, which allows a direct and straightforward upscale of chromatographic bioseparation methods. 相似文献

A new, continuous, on-line, video diameter-measuring technique, utilizing a video camera mounted on the sidearm of a stereo microscope, is described. Vessel diameter is derived from changes in the video output signal of the camera or a video recorder when the vessel of interest is displayed horizontally on a monitor and well contrasted with its background. A comparator threshold is set on the filtered video output signal and generates an output pulse that is used to gate horizontal video sync pulses to a digital counter-timer. The number of pulses counted for each video field (no. of horizontal video lines) is proportional to the vessel diameter. The video-derived diameter is calibrated using known standards and correlates well with sonomicrometer-derived diameters of the carotid artery and jugular vein during increasing pressure ramps (r greater than 0.999). The diameter update rate is 60 Hz, and the resolution of the system is one horizontal video line, independent of the vessel size. With suitable magnification and contrast both arteries and veins as small as 200 micron have been measured using this system. 相似文献

Discrete plant habit categories such as ‘tree’, ‘shrub’, and ‘liana’ belie continuous variation in nature. To study the evolution of this continuous variation, we gathered data on stem length, diameter and tissue mechanical stiffness across a highly morphologically diverse highland xerophytic scrub on a lava flow in central Mexico. With stem allometric and mechanical data from 1216 segments from 50 species, we examined relationships between stem length–diameter proportions and tissue mechanical stiffness using linear mixed‐effects models. Rather than a series of discrete clouds in stem length–diameter–tissue stiffness space, corresponding to traditional habit categories, the plants of this xerophytic scrub formed a single continuous one. Within this cloud, self‐supporting plants had stems that became predictably longer and tissues that became stiffer for a given diameter increase, and there was no paucity of intermediates between trees and shrubs (‘trubs’). Non self‐supporting plants had a steeper stem length–diameter slope and their tissues did not increase in stiffness with stem size. The area between self‐ and non self‐supporting plants was sparsely occupied as stem size increased. We predict that this ‘empty’ space between lianas and trees is developmentally accessible but of low fitness, meaning that there should be few ‘trianas’ in nature. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015, 179 , 361–373. 相似文献

Exercise plays an important role to improve cardiovascular performance. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of aerobic continuous and interval training on the left ventricular structure and function. Twenty untrained healthy male students (aged 18-22 years) were randomly divided into two groups: continuous (C; n = 10) and interval (I; n = 10). The training programme consisted of countryside jogging for 45 min during 8 weeks three times a week at 70% of maximum heart rate (MHR). In each session group C was jogging for 45 min and in group I jogging was performed in 5 nine-minute stages with a four-minute inactive rest between them. M-mode, 2-dimensional, colour and Doppler transthoracic echocardiography were performed, during resting conditions, before and after the training period. After 8-week training the end diastolic diameter, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in groups C and I, and the posterior wall thickness and the end systolic diameter in group I showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). On the other hand, the percentage of ejection fraction and shortening fraction in groups C and I, the end systolic diameter and the posterior wall thickness in group C and the interventricular septum thickness in group I demonstrated a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05). Comparing the two groups, only the value of the interventricular septum thickness was significant (P ≤ 0.05). In general, eight-week aerobic continuous and interval training can affect left ventricular structure and function. 相似文献

The pattern of fat distribution is related to a large number of variables of clinical importance. Many anthropometric indices have been derived which are surrogate measures of central fat distribution. However, systematic information on age variations in regional adiposity and central fat distribution is incomplete. The present study investigates the age variations in regional adiposity and five indices of central fat distribution among 262 adult White men resident in Peterborough, East Anglia, England. The five indices were studied: subscapular/triceps (STSR), abdomen/triceps (ATSR) and centripetal fat (CPFR) skinfold ratios, waist/hip ratio (WHR) and conicity index (CI). In general, the age patterns show progressive trend towards increasing central body fat distribution. The associations of age with all five central fat distribution indices were significant. These significant associations remained even after controlling for the body mass index (BMI). Therefore, this study provided evidence that there is a significant positive trend of increased central adiposity and fat distribution with increasing age in native English men. This trend is independent of BMI, which is a measure of overall adiposity. Such trends of enhanced fat accumulation in the central region of the body with age could have serious health implications especially with regard to chronic diseases like coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension (HT) and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Future studies should also investigate whether the same phenomenon exists in other ethnic groups resident in Britain like South Asians who have very high prevalence of CHD and NIDDM. 相似文献

Effects of morning and evening injections of pineal 5-methoxyindoles (MI), melatonin (aMT) and 5-methoxytryptamine (MT), for 60 continuous days, were observed on the testes of sham-operated (SO) and pinealectomized (Px) Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti maintained under different photoperiods during the gonad active phase. Long photoperiod (LP) of 14L:10D appeared stimulatory to the testes and caused a significant increase in the weight and seminiferous tubule diameter of both SO and Px animals, as compared to the animals under natural day-length (NDL). Short photoperiod (SP) of 10L:14D had an inhibitory influence and reduced the testes weight and its tubule diameter. aMT and MT injections during evening hours significantly reduced testes weight and tubule diameter of SO and Px animals under NDL, LP and SP. However morning injections, under all conditions, were without any significant effect. The results suggest an inhibitory effect of aMT and MT, under above photoperiodic conditions, on the testes of this tropical mammal. The time of administration of the MI is important in the expression of the effect. 相似文献

In unbudded cells of the anther smut fungus Ustilago violacea there is a dome-shaped spindle-pole body (SPB) consisting of a core 0.1 mum in diameter surrounded by a ribosome-free region 0.3-0.4 mum in diameter lying in a pocket of the nuclear membrane. After budding the nucleus moves towards the bud and begins to rotate rapidly. At about this stage the SPB divides into two parallel bars each about 0.1-0.15 mum in diameter and 0.3 mum long, separated by a distance of about 0.3 mum. Microtubules associated with the nuclear membrane but not with the SPB are present at the time of nuclear rotation. These microtubules disappear when rotation stops. Microtubules attached to the SPB are found during migration of the chromatinic portion of the nucleus into the bud cell. These microtubules disappear when migration stops and the nuclear membrand begins to break down. The twin SPB bars appear to move into the nucleus through a break in the membrane and begin to move apart forming a spindle about 1 mum long. Chromosomal microtubules (one per kinetochore) were found in several serial sections, and in addition there appeared to be several continuous microtubules present. The separation of the two chromatinic masses appeared to result from elongation of the continuous microtubules to about 3 mum long. Cytoplasmic microtubules and spindle microtubules were both found attached to the SPB as it elongated and one nucleus returned to the mother cell. The paper concludes with a discussion of the SPB as a multifuncitonal control center affecting nuclear migration, spindle formation, membrane breakdown and synthesis, karyogamy, conjugation, budding, chromosomal movement, replication, and disjunction. 相似文献

When mouse L-cells were treated with a combination of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) and Hoechst 33258, the metaphase chromosomes revealed undercondensation of the chromatin fibers in the sister centromeres. The application of the osmium-thiocarbohydrazide technique to the air-dried chromosome preparations made it possible to elucidate the ultrastructure of the undercondensed centromeric region at the level of the 30 nm chromatin fiber. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the undercondensed region consisted of a coiled fiber with a diameter of about 400 nm, and a gyre diameter of approximately 600 nm. The coiled fiber was composed of the 30 nm chromatin fiber loops. These findings indicate that a continuous coiled structure, which is the final higher order structure of the condensed chromatin fiber, exists throughout the entire length of the mouse L-cell metaphase chromosome. 相似文献

Rhabdomeric microvilli of the housefly were freeze-fractured (FF) and thin sectioned (TS) for ultrastructural examination. Ordered files of closely packed membrane particles (82 Å wide, 250 Å long) were seen (FF) on the microvillar membrane (usually E face). The long axis of each particle was canted about 45° to that of the microvillus. Occasionally particles in this array appeared on the P face. It is hypothesized that ordered particles may represent either a photopigment precursor stock, a second photolabile pigment, or the newly discovered sensitizing, UV-absorbing, photostable visual pigment. In the underlying membrane leaflet (P face) were found spherical (85 Å diameter) unoriented particles in a concentration of about 6,000/μm2. The size, shape and density of these structures are compatible with those of rhodopsin particles. These particles also covered the basal area of each microvillus. The findings from TS material were difficult to correlate with those from FF replicas. At high magnification the former showed that the plasma membrane of the transected microvillus is composed of spherical, hollow subunits (averaging 43 Å diameter), sometimes fused to form double, 86 Å units. These substructures were closely packed and continuous around the microvillus. This beaded plasma membrane, in rare cases, was doubled around the microvillus. In other instances the plasma membranes were continuous between neighboring microvilli. The physiological implications of these ultrastructural features are discussed. 相似文献

Systematic simulation may decisively help in development and optimization of bioprocesses. By applying simulation techniques, optimal use can be made of experimental data, decreasing development costs and increasing the accuracy in predicting the behavior of an industrial scale plant.The procedure of the dialogue between simulation and experimental efforts will be exemplified in a case study. Alcoholic fermentation of glucose by zymomonas mobilis bacteria in a gasified tubular recycle reactor was studied first by systematic simulation, using a computer model based solely on literature data. On the base of the results of this simulation, a 0.013 m3 pilot plant reactor was constructed. The pilot plant experiments, too, were based on the results of the systematic simulation.Simulated and experimental data were well in agreement. The pilot plant experiments reiterated the trends and limits of the process as shown by the simulation results. Data from the pilot plant runs were then used to improve the simulation model. This improved model was subsequently used to simulate the performances of an industrial scale plant. The results of this simulation are presented. They show that the alcohol fermentation in a tubular recycle reactor is potentially advantageous to other reactor configurations, especially to continuous stirred tanks.List of Symbols CPFR

Automatic detection of retinal blood vessels and measurement of vessel diameter are important steps in the computer aided diagnosis in ophthalmology. Here, we present a new multi-scale vessel enhancement method based on complex continuous wavelet transform (CCWT). The parameters of CCWT are optimized to represent line structures in all directions and separate them from simple edges. The final vessel network is obtained by applying an adaptive histogram-based thresholding process along with a proper length filtering method. An efficient circular structure operator is employed on the centerline of vessels to estimate their diameters. The performance of the proposed method is measured on the publicly available DRIVE and STARE databases and compared with several state-of-the-art methods as well as second observer. The proposed method shows much higher accuracy (95%) and sensitivity (79%) in the same range of specificity (97%). The predictive value of it is higher than 72.9%. The vessel diameter estimation process also shows lower root mean square error compared to the existing methods and second observer. 相似文献

The spatial development of the cultivation of a bone marrow stromal cell line (SR-4987) in porous carriers was investigated
in order to construct a three-dimensional hematopoietic culture system. Low-rate continuous agitation, 20 rpm, was an appropriate
method to achieve initial adhesion of cells onto a cellulose porous beads (CPB, 100 μm pore diameter) in a spinner bottle,
compared with other methods such as centrifugation and intermittent agitation. Cell growth with continuous agitation at 70
rpm after initial cell adhesion was not inferior to that at 20 rpm. A 2- and 10-fold increase in the inoculum cell concentration
for CPB and another type of porous cellulose beads (Micro-cube (MC), 500 μm pore diameter) resulted in a 1.2- and 2-fold increase
in final cell concentrationm, respectively. Cells attached to the MC beads and a polyester nonwoven dic (Fibra-cell (FC))
could grow and spread well on the carriers and a fibroblast-like shape was observed under scanning electron microscopy while
the cells on CPB were globular. The flatness and inner surface area of these carriers may be the reason for the differences
in cell morphology.

It was found by electron microscopy that extracellular darkly stained materials (DSM) observed abundantly in a case of malignant schwannoma were closely related to both basal lamina and fibrous long spacing collagen (FLS). The FLS were characterized by the cross bands with a 95 nm periodicity, and longitudinally aligned filaments, 9 nm in diameter, while DSM consisted of amorphous material, and 9 nm filaments. The filaments in DSM and FLS were similar in diameter and morphology to reticular fibres in basal laminae. The DSM were continuous with both dark bands of FLS and basal laminae. These results indicate that basal laminae may be the common origin of DSM and FLS. Ultrastructural features of longitudinal, transverse and oblique sections were described. 相似文献
