青海高原植物生理生态学研究：Ⅱ.高寒草甸植物的光合作用

青海高原高寒草甸植物柔软紫苑和糙毛鹅冠草,在同一海拔高度（３２００ｍ）,由于种的不同,净光合速率和表观光合量子效率（ＡＱＹ＝１／ＡＱＲ）也不同。双子叶植物柔软紫苑较单子叶植物糙毛鹅冠草高一些。同一垂穗披碱草,而在不同海拔高度（２３００ｍ和３２００ｍ）,由于海拔和气压不同,Ｐｎ和ＡＱＹ也不同。在高海拔地区（３２００ｍ）,长期生长的垂穗披碱草的Ｐｎ和ＡＱＹ较低海拔地区（２３００ｍ）同一植物的低,在青海     

动物肌动蛋白基因中内含子的来源及存在意义的探讨

对动物界演化过程中肌动蛋白家族内含子插入位置分布的演化规律作了分析,并对相同插入位置的内含子序列按同亚型和不同亚型作了比较。结果得出:从整个肌动蛋白家族的外显子序列高度保守性推断整个肌动蛋白家族可能是从共同的祖先蛋白进化而来的;从同亚型肌动蛋白内含子序列的类似性随进化距离而变化,但在短进化距离的物种间,类似性都较高,不同亚型肌动蛋白内含子序列的类似性都较低,即使是同一物种(如人),类似性也远低于同亚型但进化距离较近的物种,由此可推断,同亚型肌动蛋白的内含子序列可能从共同祖先进化,不同亚型肌动蛋白的内含子序列从不同祖先进化,综上推断可导出内含子可能是在蛋白异化过程中获得的:还发现内含子在肌动蛋白家族编码基因中位置的分布随进化方向不同而逐步形成两种截然不同的模式,由此提出了内含子的位置分布与动物演化方向之间可能具有某种必然联系,为内含子的存在提出了某种依据。

Influence of queen weight and colony origin on worker response in Solenopsis geminata

Abstract. The influence of weight and colony origin of the queen of Solenopsis geminata (F.) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on worker attraction is studied under laboratory conditions. In the first experiment, worker response to individual queens of different weight from the same colony is evaluated. Heavier queens are more attractive than smaller queens to their own workers. In subsequent experiments, the colony origin effect is investigated and worker response to a pair of queens of the same weight from the same or different colonies is compared. When queens are from the same colony, workers do not show a significant preference between queens. However, when queens are from a different colony, workers are significantly more attracted to their own queen than to the foreign queen. Finally, the response of workers to queens of different weight from the same or different colonies is investigated. In both cases, workers are significantly more attracted to a heavier queen than a lighter queen, even if the lighter queen is their own queen. A putative pheromonal component (E)‐6‐(1‐pentenyl)‐2H‐2‐pyranone, is not positively correlated with queen weight.     

静注人免疫球蛋白IgG含量测定中的影响因素

为了进一步分析静注人免疫球蛋白(IVIG)IgG含量测定中的影响因素,分别以不同的稀释缓冲液、不同的稀释度、不同的稳定剂对IVIG的IgG含量进行测定。结果表明以不同的稀释缓冲液、不同的稳定剂测定的同批IgG含量无显著性差异;而用不同的稀释度测定的同批IgG含量有差异。因此可见,IVIG制品中采用的不同稳定剂对IgG含量测定影响不大;可以用不同的稀释度测定的均值作为该批IVIG制品的IgG含量。     

How a Spatial Arrangement of Secondary Structure Elements Is Dispersed in the Universe of Protein Folds

It has been known that topologically different proteins of the same class sometimes share the same spatial arrangement of secondary structure elements (SSEs). However, the frequency by which topologically different structures share the same spatial arrangement of SSEs is unclear. It is important to estimate this frequency because it provides both a deeper understanding of the geometry of protein folds and a valuable suggestion for predicting protein structures with novel folds. Here we clarified the frequency with which protein folds share the same SSE packing arrangement with other folds, the types of spatial arrangement of SSEs that are frequently observed across different folds, and the diversity of protein folds that share the same spatial arrangement of SSEs with a given fold, using a protein structure alignment program MICAN, which we have been developing. By performing comprehensive structural comparison of SCOP fold representatives, we found that approximately 80% of protein folds share the same spatial arrangement of SSEs with other folds. We also observed that many protein pairs that share the same spatial arrangement of SSEs belong to the different classes, often with an opposing N- to C-terminal direction of the polypeptide chain. The most frequently observed spatial arrangement of SSEs was the 2-layer α/β packing arrangement and it was dispersed among as many as 27% of SCOP fold representatives. These results suggest that the same spatial arrangements of SSEs are adopted by a wide variety of different folds and that the spatial arrangement of SSEs is highly robust against the N- to C-terminal direction of the polypeptide chain.

从菌群失调与泄泻的关系论中医的同病异治

同病异治理论是中医学的重要治疗原则之一, 强调的是中医证候的差异。肠道菌群作为人体代谢和免疫的重要组成部分对于中医证候的形成有着不容忽视的作用, 同一疾病的不同中医证候必然存在不同的肠道菌群特征。泄泻是一种常见的胃肠道疾病, 与菌群失调密切相关。从肠道菌群失调与泄泻的关系出发, 理解中医同病异治的理论, 将充分展示中医的守正创新。本文通过论述菌群失调的内涵、菌群失调与泄泻的相关性、泄泻不同病因引起的菌群失调差异和同病异治理论在菌群失调治疗中的应用, 希望能从肠道菌群的视角初步阐明中医同病异治理论的内涵, 进一步促进同病异治理论在菌群失调相关疾病治疗中的应用。

     

Differences in the crista dentata structure of the ischium of the third maxilliped in Astacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823)

The differences in the crista dentata structure of the ischium of third maxilliped in different size Astacus leptodactylus (36-80 mm carapace length) were investigated. The results showed that four different types of crista dentata structure and teeth number occur in the third maxillipeds of A. leptodactylus. These are: (1) same number of teeth in the crista dentata of right and left third maxilliped, but not in the same structure, (2) different number and structure of teeth in the crista dentata of right and left third maxilliped, (3) same number and structure ofteeth in the crista dentata of right and left third maxilliped, (4) same sturucture of teeth in the crista dentata of right and left third maxilliped, but not same number of irregular teeth. In conclusion, it is believed that the differences in the crista dentata structure and different tooth number of the ischium of maxilliped cause a different cutting edge and variations in the food choice of A. leptodactylus.     

7个光响应曲线模型对不同植物种的实用性

光响应曲线研究方法被广泛应用在植物生理的研究中,但是在应用光响应模型拟合光响应数据时,往往只考虑到研究的目的,很少考虑到模型是否适用于所研究的植物。本文通过采用7个不同的光响应模型对白桦叶片和兴安落叶松针叶光响应曲线数据拟合的比较,发现不同模型对同一种植物光响应曲线的拟合结果存在着差异,同一模型对同种植物不同部位叶片光响应曲线的拟合效果也不同,所以在研究植物的光响应时,应考虑到所选光响应模型对该种植物的光响应情况的描述是否恰当。根据具体情况选择最佳模型,以最大限度地保证估测生理指标结果的精确性。     

Paradoxical effect of eukaryotic expression vectors on reporters

A critical issue in transfection or co-transfection experiments is to define the appropriate controls. In most cases, a corresponding empty vector is used as one control. We report a paradoxical effect of empty mammalian expression vectors on different reporters. We have found that different empty vectors can inhibit or stimulate the same reporter In addition, the same vector can have different effects on different reporters. This situation is further complicated by the observation that the effects of a vector on a reporter can vary depending on the cells used

Primary rat cardiac cell culture: diet of the mother rats as a determinant parameter of cardiomyoblast production from neonates

Two populations of Wistar rats from the same strain were fed two commonly used commercial chows. The yields of myocardial cells for primary culture obtained from neonatal rats in these 2 populations were significantly different. This effect is strickly caused by diet used during pregnancy and is quickly reversible from one pregnancy to the following one in the same females. This diet effect is limited to the yield in cardiomyoblasts and cultures were not found different after 5 days in the same medium.     

nuID: a universal naming scheme of oligonucleotides for Illumina, Affymetrix, and other microarrays

Background  

Oligonucleotide probes that are sequence identical may have different identifiers between manufacturers and even between different versions of the same company's microarray; and sometimes the same identifier is reused and represents a completely different oligonucleotide, resulting in ambiguity and potentially mis-identification of the genes hybridizing to that probe.     

II. DIFFERENCES IN ADRENAL MEDULLA NUCLEAR DNA CONTENT AMONG RATS OF DIFFERENT STRAINS FOLLOWING INTERMITTENT EXPOSURE TO COLD

The amount of DNA per nucleus in the adrenal medulla cells of four different strains of rats (Wistar, Sprague-Dawley, Long-Evans, and Italico) is determined both under control conditions and after 300 hr of intermittent exposure to cold. The adrenal medulla nuclei of the four strains of rats contain the same amount of DNA; however, the loss of DNA observed after the same experimental treatment differs markedly in the different strains. The loss is small in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats (8–13%), larger in Long-Evans rats (20%) and still larger in Italico rats (45%). The DNA loss in Wistar rats increases if the animals are fed the same diet as the Italico rats, and the DNA loss in Italico rats is reduced if the animals are fed the same diet as the Wistar rats. The different behavior of the four strains is discussed in terms of turnover of DNA.     

Molecular basis of the variability of epidemic strains of human influenza viruses

The data from literature and authors own studies are reviewed on variability of human influenza viral strains, isolated during the same epidemic season in different periods of pandemic cycle. The data obtained indicate that variability of epidemic strains of human influenza virus deals with the genes coding for outer membrane proteins (hemagglutinin and neuraminidase) as well as nonglycosylated proteins. Circulation of a number of viral variants of the same serotype, differing in antigenic specificity of outer membrane proteins or in the genes coding for nonglycosylated proteins was registered during one and the same season of one epidemic. During circulation of viral variants of the same serotype recombination may take place. Heterogeneity of viral strains circulating during different epidemic seasons of the same pandemic cycle is different. The possible mechanisms of development of the new epidemic variants of human influenza virus are discussed.     

A bioinformatics approach for determining sample identity from different lanes of high-throughput sequencing data

The ability to generate whole genome data is rapidly becoming commoditized. For example, a mammalian sized genome (～3Gb) can now be sequenced using approximately ten lanes on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. Since lanes from different runs are often combined, verifying that each lane in a genome's build is from the same sample is an important quality control. We sought to address this issue in a post hoc bioinformatic manner, instead of using upstream sample or "barcode" modifications. We rely on the inherent small differences between any two individuals to show that genotype concordance rates can be effectively used to test if any two lanes of HiSeq 2000 data are from the same sample. As proof of principle, we use recent data from three different human samples generated on this platform. We show that the distributions of concordance rates are non-overlapping when comparing lanes from the same sample versus lanes from different samples. Our method proves to be robust even when different numbers of reads are analyzed. Finally, we provide a straightforward method for determining the gender of any given sample. Our results suggest that examining the concordance of detected genotypes from lanes purported to be from the same sample is a relatively simple approach for confirming that combined lanes of data are of the same identity and quality.

Protein sequence redundancy reduction: comparison of various method

Non-redundant protein datasets are of utmost importance in bioinformatics. Constructing such datasets means removing protein sequences that overreach certain similarity thresholds. Several programs such as 'Decrease redundancy', 'cd-hit', 'Pisces', 'BlastClust' and 'SkipRedundant' are available. The issue that we focus on here is to what extent the non-redundant datasets produced by different programs are similar to each other. A systematic comparison of the features and of the outputs of these programs, by using subsets of the UniProt database, was performed and is described here. The results show high level of overlap between non-redundant datasets obtained with the same program fed with the same initial dataset but different percentage of identity threshold, and moderate levels of similarity between results obtained with different programs fed with the same initial dataset and the same percentage of identity threshold. We must be aware that some differences may arise and the use of more than one computer application is advisable.
