尖头塘鳢(Eleotris oxycephala Temmiuck et Schlegel)的年龄、生长和生活史类型的研究

本文采用胸鳍第二支鳍骨为研究东江尖头塘鳢的年龄鉴定材料。胸鳍第二支鳍骨(远侧部)长的骨(R)与体长(L)的关系L=10.6565 54.3848R。用von Bertalanffy生长方程可表达体长、体重与年龄的关系:L=298.6(1-e~(-0.2313(t 0.3028))];W_t=577.4(1-e~(-0.2313(t 0.3028))]~3。根据r-选择和K-选择的典型特征以及渐近体长(L_∞)、渐近体重(W_∞)、生长系数(K)、瞬时自然死亡率(M)、初次生殖年龄(T_m)、最大年龄(T_(max))和性腺指数(GI)等7个生态学参数值,可以判断尖头塘鳢偏向r-选择。应用平衡产量模式计算改变瞬时捕捞死亡率(F)和渔业补充年龄(t_c)时的产量变化,同样证实尖头塘鳢生活史偏向r-选择。作为渔业管理对策,尖头塘鳢的捕捞年龄可定为2—3龄,以2龄为主,这样既能保护资源,又能获得较好的经济效益。     

东江七种鱼类的生活史类型研究

本文通过渐近体长(L∞)、渐近体重(W∞)、生长系数(K)、初次生殖年龄(Tm)、最大年龄(Tmax)、瞬时自然死亡率(M)和性腺指数(Gl)等7个生态学参数来分析鱼类种群生活史类型。根据r-选择和K-选择的典型特征以及各参数间相互关系的显著性,性腺指数、瞬时死亡率和生长系数是判断东江7种鱼类种群偏向rF)和改变渔业补充年龄(tc)时的产量变化,分析产量变化曲线可知,作为偏向r型的种群,提高捕捞强度不能增加渔业产量,适当的捕捞强度可以取得较高的产量;在低龄阶段提高起捕年龄能增加一定产量,但到达一定年龄后再提高起捕年龄,反而引起产量大幅度下降。只有合理控制捕捞强度和起捕年龄,才能获取最大持续产量。       

色林错裸鲤的生长

对藏北高原色林错湖泊中色林错裸鲤（Gymnocypris selincuoensis)的生长方程、生长拐点以及生长指标等生长特征进行了分析。结果表明von Bertalanffy生长方程、Gompertz方程和三次多项式方程都可以反映色林错裸鲤的生长过程,但Gompertz方程能够很好地描述12龄之前的生长特征,而von Bertalanffy生长方程更适合描述18龄以后的生长特征。这种情况反映了色林错裸鲤具有洄游性鱼类更换生活环境的生活史特征。雄性体长的von Bertalanffy生长方程为：Lt=484.1906[1-e^-0.06839(t-0.06028)],雄性为Lt=485.3285[1-e^-0.0710(t-0.5679)]。体长和体重关系为W＝0.00023L^-5.5303(♂）和W＝0.00046L^2.4072(♀）。生长拐点为12.9龄（♀）和14．2龄（♂）。与其它裂腹鱼类相比,色林错裸鲤的生长过程尤为缓慢,这与其生存的环境条件更为恶劣直接相关。

人工养殖云斑尖塘鳢的生长特性

研究了人工养殖条件下云斑尖塘鳢（Oxyeleotris marmoratus）的生长特性。结果表明：经过2个月的生长期,云斑尖塘鳢的平均体长从最初的（17．36±0．99）cm增加到（19．05±0．57）cm,体质量从（139．13±12．90）g增加到（205．50±15．78）g,体长增加10％,体质量增加48％。不同的养殖时间除对摄食率（FR）无显著影响外（P〉0．05）,对特定生长率（SGR）、饵料转化效率（FCR）和生长效率（GE）都有显著影响（P〈0．05）。体长生长与时间表现为线性相关,体质量生长与时间表现为指数相关。云斑尖塘鳢体质量与体长之间呈幂函数关系,不同养殖时间下,幂指数b值都接近3,表明云斑尖塘鳢的体长和体质量呈等速生长。     

五大连池鳙的生长分析

为了分析五大连池鳙(Aristichthys nobilis)的生长情况,于2013和2014年在五大连池三池及二池随机采集223尾鳙样本,采用鳞片鉴定其年龄,退算体长、体重。同时采用von Bertalanffy生长方程分析了五大连池鳙体长、体重的生长规律。结果显示,鳙渔获物的平均体长、体重分别为54.61 cm和3 280.53 g,由3+~8+共6个年龄组组成,以5+龄个体为主,占总数的50.67%。五大连池鳙体长(L,cm)、体重(W,g)之间关系式为W=0.0289 L2.901(n=223,R=0.974)。体长、体重von Bertalanffy生长方程分别为:Lt=97.619[1﹣e﹣0.140(ti﹣0.004)]和Wt=17113.260[1﹣e~(﹣0.140(ti﹣0.004))]2.901。鳙体长生长速度曲线无拐点,随着年龄的增加生长速度逐渐降低。体重的生长速度曲线具有拐点,拐点年龄为7.61龄,所对应的体长和体重分别为63.94 cm和5 012.82 g。采用生长特征指数?对比分析五大连池与其他水域鳙的生长,结果显示五大连池鳙的生长较为缓慢,栖息环境的水温、饵料生物密度是影响五大连池鳙生长的重要因素。有效提高鳙生长速度的关键措施在于降低放养密度。     

珠江口崖门鲈鱼年龄和生长的研究

本文依据1983年6月至1986年1月对290尾鲈鱼年龄和生长的调查资料,阐明鲈鱼鳞片年轮特征并计算出鲈鱼体长与鳞长、体长与体重的关系式。研究表明:3龄以前属幼鱼阶段,体长和体重的相对增长率较大,生长指标较高,3龄以后进入成鱼生长阶段。其生长适合von Bertalanffy生长方程,体重生长曲线的拐点位于3.05龄。因此以3龄、体重3.5公斤左右的鲈鱼作为商品鱼加以捕捞,经济效益最高。

KRN633, an Inhibitor of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase,Induces Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Mice

We previously reported that treatment with KRN633, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, during mid‐pregnancy caused intrauterine growth restriction resulting from impairment of blood vessel growth in the labyrinthine zone of the placenta and fetal organs. However, the relative sensitivities of blood vessels in the placenta and fetal organs to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors have not been determined. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of KRN633 on the vasculatures of organs in mother mice and their newborn pups by immunohistochemical analysis. Pregnant mice were treated daily with KRN633 (5 mg/kg) either from embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5) to E17.5 or from E13.5 to the day of delivery. The weights of the pups of KRN633‐treated mice were lower than those of the pups of vehicle‐treated mothers. However, no significant difference in body weight was observed between the vehicle‐ and KRN633‐treated mice. The vascular development in the organs (the pancreas, kidney, and intestine) and intestinal lymphatic formation of the pups of KRN633‐treated mothers was markedly impaired. In contrast, the KRN633 treatment showed no significant effect on the vascular beds in the organs, including the labyrinthine zone of the placenta, of the mother mice. These results suggest that blood vessels in fetal organs are likely to be more sensitive to reduced VEGF signaling than those in the mother. A partial loss of VEGF function during pregnancy could suppress vascular growth in the fetus without affecting the vasculature in the mother mouse, thereby increasing the risk of intrauterine growth restriction.     

Polypeptide Growth Factors in Embryogenesis and Tumor Growth

Polypeptide growth factors belonging to different families (epidermal growth factors, insulin-like growth factors, fibroblast growth factors, transforming growth factors-, and some others), were characterized regarding their specific role in embryogenesis and tumor growth. Differences and parallels in the functioning of growth factors in these processes have been noted. The potential significance of the described characteristics of growth factors for directed modulation of embryogenesis and tumor growth is discussed.     

Hydrocarbon Leaching, Microbial Population, and Plant Growth in Soil Amended with Petroleum

Two samples of oily waste organics (OWO) from petroleum wells were added to heath soils from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, and the effects on hydrocarbon leaching, microbial population, and plant growth were studied. These mixtures and a control soil were subjected to four deionized water leachates. For each leachate, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), aliphatic hydrocarbons (ALH), aromatic hydrocarbons (ARH) with three or fewer rings, ARH with more than three rings, and oil and grease (O&G) were measured. After leaching, six Dactylis glomerata L. plants were grown in each soil column. Plant growth and the total number of aerobic and nitrifier microorganisms were measured in soil. The 10% OWO sample increased the TPH in the leachate, but the 1% sample did not. The ALH, ARH, and O&G of each leachate followed patterns similar to that for TPH. Plant growth diminished and the total number of aerobic and nitrifier microorganisms decreased with increasing OWO, especially when the OWO was from a fresh residue rather than an aged residue. The greater inhibitive effect of fresh residue on plant growth was attributed to a higher concentration of light hydrocarbons, which are more toxic than heavy hydrocarbons. For soil with 1% OWO added, the TPH and other organics did not differ from the control soil. This result, combined with the 10-year average annual rainfall and the water table elevation at the site, suggests that the risk of contaminating the water table is relatively low. Thus, a 1% addition of OWO in soil would be appropriate to use in landfarming of OWO.     

Growth hormone,insulin-like growth factor I,and motoneuron size

In this study we asked whether growth hormone (GH) and one of its key mediators, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), influence spinal motoneuron size in conjunction with whole body size. We present evidence that GH has such a role, possibly without the mediation of IGF-I. Both lumbar motoneuron and body size were found to be increased relative to littermate controls in transgenic mice overexpressing GH, while body size, but not motoneuron size, was increased in mice overexpressing IGF-I. GH overexpression coordinately increased nucleolar, nuclear, and cell body size in lumbar spinal motoneurons, so that their normal size relationships were preserved in the transgenic mice. In addition, spinal cord and brain weights were significantly increased in both types of transgenic animal. We conclude that GH can regulate motoneuron, central nervous system, and body size in the same animal, and that IGF-I can mimic the effects of GH on at least two of these three parameters. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Growth rate of 21 captive-born,mother-raised cheetah cubs

This paper presents the growth rate of 21 clinically normal, mother-raised. captive cheetah cubs from birth through 45 days of age. The development of a growth curve for healthy, mother-raised cheetah cubs provides a diagnostic tool for individuals involved in cheetah propagation. Use of the curve may alert caretakers to problems early and thus help reduce the high neonatal mortality rate seen in captive-born cheetah cubs. The growth curve was constructed using 21 (11 males and 10 females) captiveborn cheetah cubs from six litters (offspring of three unrelated adult males and three unrelated adult females) born at the Columbus Zoo from September 1985 through December 1989. Each cub was weighed to the nearest gram the morning after birth and approximately the same time every consecutive morning for 45 days. The mean weight the morning after birth was 463 g (range 385–542 g). The average litter size was 3.5 (range 2–4, n = 6). The daily weight gain was 40–50 g/cub/day.

促肝纤维化的关键因子——结缔组织生长因子

结缔组织生长因子（CTGF）与转化生长因子β（TGF-β）高表达于多种纤维化的组织器官中,被认为是促纤维化发生的主要细胞因子。作为TGF-β生物学作用的下游效应介质,CTGF介导TGF-β促组织纤维化的效应,而与TGF—β抗炎、调节免疫等其他生物学效应无明显相关,因此可能成为抗肝纤维化的更好的靶点。     

Growth and morphogenesis in Streptomyces

In this report we propose a model of apical growth for streptomycetes. The apical tip is considered as a multilayered wall that expands by an inside-to-outside mechanism of growth. It is also assumed that each layer is made up of peptidoglycan blocks, each of them being the result of the biosynthetic activity of a wall-synthesizing unit or membrane-associated growth zone. According to our model, apical growth occurs as follows: as a consequence of the hydrostatic pressure and the cleavage of some bonds, the layers are pushed and forced to slide (one with respect to the other), migrating from the center of the tip (at the inside of the wall) towards a peripheral location (at the outside of the wall). The model also incorporates a mechanism by which apical growth can be regulated and coordinated with the replication of the chromosome.

Acute Regulation of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Response to Nerve Growth Factor

PC12 cells possess specific receptors for both nerve growth factor and epidermal growth factor, and by an unknown mechanism, nerve growth factor is able to attenuate the propagation of a mitogenic response to epidermal growth factor. The differentiation response of PC12 cells to nerve growth factor, therefore, predominates over the proliferative response to epidermal growth factor. We have observed that the addition of nerve growth factor to PC12 cells rapidly produces a decrease in surface 125I-epidermal growth factor binding capacity. Unlike previously described nerve growth factor effects on 125I-epidermal growth factor binding capacity, which required several days of nerve growth factor exposure, the decreases we report occur within minutes of nerve growth factor addition: A 50% decrease in 125I-epidermal growth factor binding capacity is evident at 10 min. This rapid nerve growth factor response is concentration dependent; inhibition of 125I-epidermal growth factor binding is detectable at nerve growth factor levels as low as 0.2 ng/ml and is maximal at approximately 50 ng/ml, consistent with known ranges of biological activity. No demonstrable differences in the rate of epidermal growth factor receptor synthesis or degradation were observed in cells acutely exposed to nerve growth factor. Scatchard analysis revealed that acute nerve growth factor treatment decreased the number of both high- and low-affinity 125I-epidermal growth factor binding sites, while the receptor affinity remained unchanged. We have also investigated the involvement of various potential intracellular mediators of nerve growth factor action and of known intracellular modulatory systems of the epidermal growth factor receptor for their capacity to participate in this nerve growth factor activity.
