青霉素和苯巴比妥钠对小鼠全脑切片积聚~3H-GABA的影响

本文应用同位素示踪、脑片离体培育和侧脑室注射的方法,在体外和体内研究了惊厥剂青霉素和抗惊厥剂苯巴比妥钠对小白鼠全脑切片积聚~3H-GABA的影响。结果表明:(1)在含6.70—13.40×10~(-4)mol/L的苄青霉素钾(PG)100μl或19.60—39.20×10~(-4)mol/L的苯巴比妥钠(PhB)50μl的培育液(2ml)中,小鼠全脑切片对~3H-GABA的积聚作用明显降低(P<0.05)。6.70×10~(-4)mol/L的PG100μl和39.20×10~(-4)mol/L的PhB50μl同时注入培育液(2ml)时,脑片对~3H-GABA的积聚比PG单独试验时稍有升高。(2 )小鼠侧脑室注射20μl的 3.35×10~(-2)mol/L的PG可引起强烈的惊厥,脑片上的~3H-GABA积聚减少(P>0.05);脑室内注射10μl的3.88×10~(-2)mol/L的PhB能抗惊厥,也使~3H-GABA在脑片上的积聚减少(P>0.05);脑室内同时注射PG和PhB,使~3H-GABA在脑片上的积聚恢复正常。以上结果提示:青霉素可通过竞争突触后膜和神经末梢上的GABA受体,阻断GA-BA的突触后抑制效应及抑制GABA释放,显示惊厥作用;苯巴比妥钠也可和突触后膜上的GABA受体结合,产生GABA样作用或激活GABA受体,起抗惊厥作用。

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.
