小鼠心脏发育的形态学研究

目的建立小鼠心脏正常发育的时间表以及对应的形态学特征模式.方法小鼠胚胎ED8.5、ED9.5、ED10.5、ED11.5、ED12.5、ED14.5、ED16.5、ED18.5和P1(postnatal day)(出生后1 d的仔鼠)标本,进行整体或心脏部位不同轴向切片,HE染色,采用PCTV图像分析系统,对各时相小鼠心脏形态发育特征进行研究.结果 ⑴细胞结构发育的时空模式:① ED8.5时,生心板形成;ED9.5时,心肌细胞呈不规则的纺锤形,细胞的大小多样化,细胞核小;ED10.5时,小血管和着色较浅的肌原纤维出现,细胞之间连接较松;ED11.5时,心肌纤维排列较紧,纵断面上呈细长形,横断面上呈不规则多角形;ED12.5时,细胞核着色更清晰,心肌细胞形状逐渐规则,细胞之间紧密连接,同时闰盘结构出现在心室心肌细胞.②ED12.5时心肌小梁结构第一次在心室出现,ED14.5时增厚,而在心房少见心肌小梁.⑵心室结构的形成和心脏发育的成熟:①心肌间充质网络结构在ED10.5的心室中明显呈现,随着它的发育,心室的心内膜在ED11.5出现,心室心外膜可以辨认.②房室隔在ED12.5完全形成,心内膜垫在ED12.5开始发生并快速发育,促进室间隔在ED14.5完全形成.③心包膜在ED16.5可明显辨认,心包膜腔形成,此时近段流出道心内膜垫完全心肌细胞替换.结论肌原纤维细胞和心肌间充质细胞同时在ED10.5出现,提示肌原纤维对心肌细胞的成型和心肌化起作用.细胞的结构变化和心肌层的成熟过程,显示小鼠心脏部位成熟时间的不同,心室成熟相对较晚.     

肌细胞增强因子2在心力衰竭过程中的作用

心脏在长期过量负荷及神经体液系统过度激活的影响下,可发生以心肌细胞肥大、心肌纤维排列紊乱、心肌间质细胞增生及胚胎基因再表达增加为主的病理改变,从而引起心脏泵功能减退、心室扩张、心室肥厚和纤维化,最终导致心力衰竭.肌细胞增强因子2(myocyte enhancerfactor 2,MEF2)是一种特定的转录因子,其主要功能是促进肌细胞分化过程中的基因转录,在骨骼肌、心肌、平滑肌的发育过程中起介导细胞分化的作用.近年来的研究发现,在心力衰竭过程中.MEF2提供了心室重构信号转导过程中的作用靶点,可能参与了心室肥厚与心力衰竭的过程.

心肌活动特点及机制

心肌收缩活动的主要特点是：自律性收缩，全或无式收缩，舒缩交替不作强直收缩和不疲劳性。这些特点决定于其结构特点和心肌的理化特性。自律性决定于Ｐ细胞膜上离子通道和离子泵蛋白质的特性。全或无式收缩决定于心肌细胞间闰盘等低阻力联接，使整个心房或心室成为一个机能合体细胞而同时收缩。不作强直收缩是由于心肌膜特性决定其有效不应期特长。不疲劳性则和舒缩交替活动和能源结构丰富有关。     

有氧运动诱导心肌肥大和心肌细胞增殖的研究进展

适宜的运动负荷可刺激心肌生理性肥大和心肌细胞增殖,但这种内源性生理过程的分子机制知之甚少,因此有氧运动诱导心肌肥大和心肌细胞增殖的研究是目前发育生物学和细胞生物学领域的热点,其具体分子机制以及生理价值具有重要的生物学和医学研究及应用意义。该文综述了近年来有氧运动诱导心肌肥大和心肌细胞增殖的研究进展,旨在为相关领域的研究提供参考。     

应激心肌损伤的蛋白质组学研究

心肌球源性细胞在心力衰竭中的应用

冠状动脉或其分支阻塞而引起心肌缺血可导致急性心肌梗死,梗死区域周围形成瘢痕组织后心脏收缩功能下降,心室发生病理性重塑,最终出现充血性心力衰竭。心肌球源性细胞（CDC）是来自心肌的干细胞,在体外可以分化为心肌细胞和血管内皮细胞。在体内可以触发自身心肌细胞增殖和通过旁分泌募集祖细胞。旁分泌介质不但拥有干细胞的作用,且没有细胞移植相关的并发症。临床实验证明了CDC可以促进心肌梗死后的心脏功能的恢复。长期疗效还有待大规模临床试验的验证。     

心脏间隔的形成

心脏形态的建成包括了腔室的形成和间隔的形成两个部分,而心脏间隔的出现又使得心脏从单腔室器官发育成为四腔室的成熟器官.在人类心脏发育过程中,心脏间隔的发生是在胚胎发育的第4周至第7周,在这个过程中,心脏的袢环化以及腔室的逐渐建成,也促进了心脏间隔的形成.心肌层在房室腔的建成中充当了重要的角色,但是研究表明它在心脏间隔的发生中却没有起到实质性的作用,相反对于心外间充质组织,人们开始重新认识它在心脏间隔发生中的意义.     

肌苷对缺氧心肌跨膜电位和收缩强度的影响

本工作在正常和缺氧情况下,观察肌苷对豚鼠心室乳头肌跨膜电位和收缩强度的影响。结果表明肌苷使正常心肌细胞动作电位时间(APD_(10)、APD_(50)延长。在缺氧心肌,肌苷使细胞静息电位增大,动作电位去极化幅度增高,零期最大去极化速度加快和动作电位时间延长。肌苷增加正常心肌收缩力,使缺氧心肌收缩的衰减显著缓和,亦即使收缩功能改善,且表现剂量-依从性。肌苷对心肌细胞跨膜电位的影响提示它很可能有抗心律失常作用,特别是在缺氧心脏。肌苷对离休乳头肌收缩的影响,证明其对心肌有直接的强心作用。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

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.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
