UNDECYLENIC ACID IN THE TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS AND NEURODERMATITIS

Undecylenic acid in a dosage tolerated by most patients is of doubtful value in the treatment of psoriasis and neurodermatitis.Thirty-one patients were given the drug. Exudative dermatitis developed in one case, generalized pruritus in another. One patient may have had a cardiac accident attributable to the drug.     

植物叶片脯氨酸的变化及其对亚硫酸伤害的防护作用

 在特定污染条件下,植物叶脯氨酸含量与K+渗出量(％)呈负相关变化,并因树种和叶片成熟度而异、脯氨酸含量为成叶>老叶,K+渗出量则是老叶>成叶,外施脯氨酸对植物亚硫酸伤害具有一定的防护作用。     

糖类和pH值的改变对十二碳二元酸发酵的影响

烷烃发酵是非均相发酵,其发酵液中存在气相、固相、水相和油相。因此,烷烃发酵与一般微生物发酵方法不一样。它是高耗氧、高产热的发酵过程,并且会在发酵过程中产生乳化剂,以便油相和水相混匀,使微生物更好地利用烷烃[1～3]。烷烃和糖类等水溶性基质不同:烷烃的疏水性决定…     

巴豆油正丁酸对Raji细胞的联合诱导作用

以4mM正丁酸,400ng/ml巴豆油对Raji细胞进行联合激发,24小时后DNase活性及EA阳性细胞百分率均平行地急剧上升,72小时后达到高峰,以后EA阳性细胞急速下降,而DNase活性仍保持在高峰水平,粗酶液中的DNase活性能被EBV阳性血清中和90％以上。 激发Raji细胞粗酶液DEAE层析谱显示,有三个DNase活性峰,主峰洗脱浓度为220mM磷酸盐。检测了未激发及经激发(48小时)Raji细胞提取液的DNA多聚酶活性,前者能被50mM(NH_4)_2SO_4所抑制,抑制?原酶活性的23.3％,后者能被50mM(NH_4)_2SO_4所激活,激活为原酶活性的147.7％。     

十二指肠内胆盐对胃肌电和运动的影响及其神经机制探讨

本文观察了牛磺胆酸钠(ST)灌入小鼠十二指肠后胃肌电快波、慢波和胃收缩波的变化,并对其神经机制作了探讨。用胃壁双电极和胃内水囊-压力换能器法将胃电和胃运动信号输至放大器,然后由记录仪及电子计算机对该信号进行记录、采集、贮存和处理。以5min为单位,计算出灌注 ST 前、后胃电快波、慢波和收缩波频率与总幅度变化的百分数。结果为:十二指肠灌注 ST(n=10)后,胃电快波频率、幅度和收缩波幅度明显抑制。腹腔神经丛麻醉,利血平化和碳酰胆碱可消除 ST 引起的抑制效应。酚妥拉明不能去除该抑制效应,心得安可部分消除 ST 的抑制效应。上述结果表明,十二指肠灌注 ST 对胃电快波和胃运动有抑制效应,并提示该抑制效应的神经传出途径可能为交感肾上腺素能纤维,由β受体介导。     

盐胁迫条件下γ-氨基丁酸对玉米幼苗SOD、POD及CAT活性的影响

逆境下植物体内积累氨基丁酸(GABA)。盐胁迫严重影响玉米种子的萌发,而加入外源GABA可明显提高玉米种子的萌发率。外源GABA能迅速提高SOD、POD、和CAT这三种酶的活性。鉴于超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶和过氧化物酶是植物抗氧化保护系统中重要的组成部分,推测,盐胁迫条件下,GABA可通过提高保护酶系统活性而缓解盐胁迫对植物的伤害。     

钙对不同成熟期番茄果实的PG活性及其合成的影响

本文研究了钙处理不同成熟期番茄果实对果壁组织中钙含量与转化、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)活性与 PG 合成的影响。结果表明,钙处理绿熟期的番茄果实可使总钙和可溶性钙含量明显增加,并较多转化为结合钙;后期处理,进入和转化的钙都减少。同样,钙处理愈早,对果实 PG 活性的抑制愈强,绿熟期处理可完全抑制 PG 活性。凝胶电泳结合钌红染色,证明绿熟期果实无 PG,PG 是在果实成熟过程中新合成的。钙处理愈早,对 PG 合成的抑制愈强,绿熟期钙处理可完全抑制 PG 合成。     

THE EFFECT OF CALCIUM WITHDRAWAL ON THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE TOAD BLADDER

Previous reports have indicated that calcium is necessary to support active sodium transport by the toad bladder, and may be required as well in the action of vasopressin on both toad bladder and frog skin. The structure and function of the toad bladder has been studied in the absence of calcium, and a reinterpretation of the previous findings now appears possible. When calcium is withdrawn from the bathing medium, epithelial cells detach from one another and eventually from their supporting tissue. The short-circuit current (the conventional means of determining active sodium transport) falls to zero, and vasopressin fails to exert its usual effect on short-circuit current and water permeability. However, employing an indirect method for the estimation of sodium transport (oxygen consumption), it is possible to show that vasopressin exerts its usual effect on Q_oo2 when sodium is present in the bathing medium. Hence, it appears that the epithelial cells maintain active sodium transport when calcium is rigorously excluded from the bathing medium, and continue to respond to vasopressin. The failure of conventional techniques to show this can be attributed to the structural alterations in the epithelial layer in the absence of calcium. These findings may provide a model for the physiologic action of calcium in epithelia such as the renal tubule.     

THE EFFECT OF CALCIUM ON GANGLIOSIDE SOLUBILITY

Gangliosides were extracted by various procedures from acetone powder prepared from grey matter of cattle brain. The mixtures of gangliosides, containing 24–26% N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA), were dissolved in chloroform-methanol. Upon addition of aqueous solutions of Ca²⁺, the amount of gangliosides (and Ca²⁺) passing into the lower phase of the two-phase solvent system was a linear function of the product of the initial concentrations of Ca²⁺ and ganglioside-NANA. It was also a function of the initial stoichiometric ratios of ganglioside-NANA to Ca^a+. In accordance with previous reports, no gross differences of composition between the initial mixture of gangliosides and the calcium-solubilized portion could be detected by glass-fibre chromatography.     

ADSORPTION OF FULVIC ACID ON ALGAL SURFACES AND ITS EFFECT ON CARBON UPTAKE

Adsorption of Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) to algal surfaces of three green algae was studied at environmentally relevant pH values (4 –7) and SRFA concentrations (5–100 mg·L ^{− 1}). The influence of adsorbed SRFA on carbon uptake of Scenedesmus subspicatus Chodat was also examined. Although no adsorption was observed at neutral pH values (pH 6 and 7), at pH 4 up to 31 mg SRFA·m ^{− 2} and at pH 5 up to 4 mg SRFA·m ^{− 2} was adsorbed to the algal surfaces. Electrophoretic mobility measurements of S. subspicatus demonstrated an increase in the negative surface charge of the alga in the presence of SRFA at pH 4. The adsorbed SRFA also influenced ¹⁴C uptake in S. subspicatus; in this case, enhanced carbon uptake could be related to the amount of adsorbed SRFA. The binding of humic substances by algal surfaces was interpreted as the result of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.     

介质pH缓冲系统选择及其对龙须菜生长的影响

该文选择红藻门大型植物龙须菜(Gracilaria lemaneiformis)作为研究对象,通过黑白瓶法筛选出有机试剂POPSO(哌嗪-N,N-双(2-羟基乙烷磺酸)),能较好地缓冲室内龙须菜培养中介质pH的波动。在此基础上,探讨了POPSO对龙须菜生长的影响,结果表明:15 mmol·L ^-1及以上浓度的POPSO能较好地稳定介质pH值,减少系统中DIC浓度的急剧变化,但POPSO对CO₂浓度波动不起作用;试验结果还表明,介质中的CO₂浓度与龙须菜的生长速率间存在着类似酶动力学方程的关系,当介质中的CO₂浓度下降到5.25 μmol·L ^-1以下时,龙须菜生长出现抑制现象。相对稳定pH的培养环境,更有利于介质DIC中的HCO^-₃、CO^2-₃向CO₂的转换,缓解龙须菜生长的C抑制。
