中缅树Qu的非颤抖性产热及细胞呼吸特征

中缅树qu(Tupaia belangeri chinensis)是东南亚树qu中分布最北的一个种。在热中性区内的非颤抖性产热(nonshivering thermogenesis NST)分别为2.57±0.21(冬)和2.21±0.12(夏)mlO[2]／(g·h);分别为体重预期值的75.9%和61.2%,两者不仅冬季显著高于夏季,而且亦高于典型的热带种类,但低于温带类群。褐色脂肪组织(brown adipose tissue,BAT)的重量冬季为0.622±0.015 g,夏季0.532±0.80 g,冬季也显著高于夏季;同时,BAT总蛋白含量、线粒体蛋白含量以及细胞α-磷酸甘油氧化酶和细胞色素C氧化酶活性,冬季也显著高于夏季,但增加的比例较温带种类低;而肝脏细胞的上述指标及线粒体状态Ⅲ、状态Ⅳ呼吸等,冬夏两季均无显著差异。因此,中缅树qu的NST和细胞产热能力介于热带与温带类群之间,显示出向温带类型过渡的趋势。     

树qu（Tupaia belangeri chinesis）耳蜗毛细胞铺片的观察

我们用树qu14只,取耳蜗铺片后进行毛细胞计数和长度测量。发现树qu毛细胞数及缺失率与人、猴、豚鼠不同,树qu毛细胞失数少且稳定,蜗尖弃用部少,不同种群间的个体差异小,利于用作生物学实验动物,可为研究耳的生理、病理及临床服务。     

臭Qu种群相对数量季节变化的初步分析

１９８５年４月１９９２年１２月,作者采用夹日法对萧山围垦农区臭Ｑｕ种群动态进行了连续逐月定点定时的研究。结果表明：臭Ｑｕ种群相对数量的季节消长呈后峰型双峰曲线,５月和１０月各出现一次高,怀孕率在２月和７月各出现一次高峰,平均胎仔数在５－６月和８－９月相对较多。室外群种相对数量高峰在４月和９－１０月;室内种群在５月和１０月,前峰不及室外种群明显。室内种群雌体怀孕率明显于室外种群。种群相对数量的季节变     

雷州半岛臭Qu的一些生物学特性

臭Ｑｕ是一种小型哺乳类动物,与黄胸鼠、褐家鼠、小家鼠组成矾家栖鼠形哺类动物群体。根据雷州半岛４０多年（１９５０￣１９９４年）鼠疫监测和１０年（１９８５年２月￣１９９５年１月）鼠情监测资料,对臭Ｑｕ的数量、分布、繁殖等方面进行了分析研究。结果,臭Ｑｕ占家栖息形哺乳类动物群体比例逐年上升,８０年代在高峰;其分布是农村多于城市,野外也有发现;月份分布呈马鞍形曲线;全年均可繁殖,月均怀孕率为３５．７％,每     

模拟空间节律（L：D=0.75h：0.75h）对树qu...

It is known that contemporary space station revolves at the altitude of 400-500 km in the outer space. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of simulated space rhythm (L:D = 0.75 h:0.75 h) at this altitude on circadian rhythm in tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) and the effects of endogenous sleep inducing neuropeptide Asp5-alpha-DSIP on the space-rhythm-entrained circadian rhythm. This primitive stock serves as one species of Tupaiidae and is a unique native of South China. Our previous studies have shown that this species showed striking differences in natural circadian rhythm between day and night (e.g. 3.03 degrees C of rectal temperature). Results showed that the above mentioned space rhythm (L:D = 0.75h:0.75h) could drastically disturb the inherent circadian rhythm of Tupaia belangeri chinensis. The maximal peak of motor activity dropped significantly in the morning (0600-1200) and a new enhanced peak (more than 20 times greater than that of the control) was found between 1800-2400, whereas the maximal trough of motor activity (2400-0600) remained basically unchanged. Concurrently, the total amount of 24-h motor activity was significantly decreased and the recovery after the cessation of space rhythm was slow. Experimental results also demonstrated that consecutive administration of Asp5-alpha-DSIP (30 micrograms/kg, i.p.) for 5 days (2 days before and 3 days during space rhythm) did not prevent the basic disturbance of circadian rhythm of Tupaia belangeri chinensis caused by the space rhythm (L:D = 0.75h:0.75h). Nevertheless, no decrease or even some enhancement of the total amount of 24th motor activity was observed during space rhythm or after its cessation.
