Zusammenfassung In der Einleitung ist das Ziel der Arbeit in den wesentlichsten Punkten herausgestellt.Die Bursastrukturen (Bursavelum und Rippen bzw. Papillen) der parasitischen Strongylina lassen sich von den entsprechenden Bildungen der freilebenden Rhabditina, vor allem der Gattung Rhabditis, ableiten und in ihren Einzelgliedern homologisieren.Die im Laufe der Phylogenie bei den Strongylina auftretenden strukturellen Transformationen lassen sich auf einige wenige, relativ einfache morphogenetische Grundvorgänge zurückführen, die da sind: Wachstumsallometrien, Materialkompensationen, Organverschmelzungen und Spaltungen (Fissationen), Rudimentationen und ähnliche Vorgänge.Innerhalb der Strongylina Bursa ist ein Gefälle der Wachstumsgradienten feststellbar, das sich vom Zentrum der Bursa sowohl nach distal als auch proximalwärts abschwdcht. Zunehmende Förderung der zentral gelegenen Organe (Rippen) führt zu entsprechender Reduktion der peripheren Bursastrukturen, was vor allem im terminalen Schwanzabschnitt auffällt und zur Ausbildung des oft nur noch als Rudiment vorhandenen Dorsalrippenkomplexes führt. Letzterer entspricht in seiner Gesamtheit der Schwanzspitze der peloderen Rhabditiden mit den Papillen 9 und 10.Die bei Rhabditis moist getrennten Papillen 7 und 8 sind bei allen Strongylina zu einer Rippe (Externodorsal-Rippe) verschmolzen, die jedoch in manchen Aberrationen durch Abspaltung eines akzessorischen Astes ihre wahre Natur (als Verschmelzungsprodukt) zu erkennen gibt (Atavismus).Da dieselben Transformationsvorgänge innerhalb der Strongylina mehrfach unabhängig voneinander wirksam geworden sind, treten bestimmte Strukturformen als Parallelbildungen in verschiedenen phylogenetischen Union auf (polytope Entstehung).Zahlreich untersuchte Bildungsabweichungen (Aberrationen), deren Bedeutung für die Morphologie kurz umrissen wird, erschöpfen sich in den gleichen strukturellen Transformationstypen, die auch bei der Evolution der verschiedenen Union der Strongylina nachweisbar sind. Die Aberrationen führen daher häufig zu Atavismen oder zu Parallelvariationen (homologe Variationen").Die Zahl der Umwandlungsmbglichkeiten (Potenzen) der Bursastrukturen innerhalb der Strongylina ist beschränkt (Paripotenz im Sinne Haeckers). Bestimmte Arten (und Entwicklungshnien) haben jeweils nur bestimmte Potenzen realisiert. Andere können jedoch latent (virtuell) im Kryptotypus vorhanden sein, ohne normalerweise in Erscheinung. zu treten. In bestimmten Aberrationen können sie jedoch plötzlich realisiert werden, so ihr latentes Vorhandensein demonstrierend (Pluripotenz).Wie lange bestimmte Potenzen in einer Gruppe erhalten bleiben konnen, verdeutlichen auch die Schwanzhocker weiblicher Nematoden, als zum Bauplan der Nematoden gehbrende Bildungen. Die Potenz zur Ausbildung dieser Strukturen kommt offensichtlich sehr vielen Nematoden-Arten zu, wird jedoch nur in relativ wenigen Fällen, aber innerhalb der verschiedenen Gruppen bald hier, bald dort (disjunkte Verbreitung), realisiert. Es handelt sich bei den Schwanzhöckern um rudimentäre Organe, die bei keiner Nematoden-Art mehr voll ausgebildet erhalten sind. Ihre Rudimentation beruht zum Teil auf Materialentzug, als Folge von Unkonstruktionen der Schwanzregion, wobei die Adultstadien zuerst betroffen werden (Aphanisie nach Sewertzoff).Bei den in Chiropteren parasitierenden Strongylacanthinae haben sich Schwanzhöcker noch bei allen Arten erhalten, was ein offensichtlich archaisches Merkmal darstellt. Bei anderen Nematoden, denen sie nur im Larvalstadium zukommen, treten sie wohl durch Fötalisation in seltenen Fällen auch bei den adulten Stadien wieder auf.Alle speziellen Bursaformen der Strongylina lassen sich durch relativ wenige und einfache Transformationsvorgänge aus einem durch Abstraktion gewonnenen diagrammatischen Typus ableiten (Prinzip der variablen Proportionen" nach Troll).Die typisierten Umwandlungsvorgänge decken sich weitgehend mit den von Remane allgemein gefaßten strukturellen Typen der Realmutationen. Da sie bei den beobachteten Aberrationen, deren Entstehung auf dem Wege über Realmutationen sehr wahrscheinlich ist, in homologer Weise auftreten, kann das innerhalb der Strongylina zu beobachtende Evolutionsphänomen auf Realmutationen zurückgeführt warden.Obwohl sich die untersuchten strukturellen Transformationen in dem systematisch relativ wait gefaßten Rahmen einer Unterordnung abspielen (transspezifische Evolution nach Rensch), handelt es sich bei der von uns bevorzugten Terminologie (nach Woltereck und Remane), unter Berücksichtigung des Charakters der Umwandlungen, doch nur um Vorgänge, die in den Bereich der Mikroevolution fallen.  相似文献

The dynamics of coupled biological oscillators can be modeled by averaging the effects of coupling over each oscillatory cycle so that the coupling depends on the phase difference between the two oscillators and not on their specific states. Average phase difference theory claims that mode locking phenomena can be predicted by the average effects of the coupling influences. As a starting point for both empirical and theoretical investigations, Rand et al. (1988) have proposed d/dt= — K sin ), with phase-locked solutions =arcsin( /K), where is the difference between the uncoupled frequencies and K is the coupling strength. Phase-locking was evaluated in three experiments using an interlimb coordination paradigm in which a person oscillates hand-held pendulums. was controlled through length differences in the left and right pendulums. The coupled frequency c was varied by a metronome, and scaled to the eigenfrequency v of the coupled system K was assumed to vary inversely with c. The results indicate that: (1) and K contribute multiplicatively to (2) =0 or = regardless of K when =0; (3) 0 or regardless of when K is large (relative to ); (4) results (1) to (3) hold identically for both in phase and antiphase coordination. The results also indicate that the relevant frequency is c/v rather than c. Discussion high-lighted the significance of confirming =arcsin(/K) for more general treatments of phase-locking, such as circle map dynamics, and for the 11 phase-entrainment which characterizes biological movement systems.  相似文献

Uptake kinetics of nitrogen derived from sewage–seawater mixtures (2.5–20% v/v effluent) were determined in the laboratory for Ulva rigida (Chlorophyceae) native from Bahía Nueva (Golfo Nuevo, Patagonia, Argentine). In terms of nitrogen concentration, experimental enrichment levels varied between 53.7 and 362.3M of ammonium and between 0.77 and 6.21M of nitrate+nitrite. Uptake rates were fitted to the Michaelis–Menten equation, with the following kinetic parameters: ammonium: Vmax = 591.2molg–1h–1, K s=262.3M, nitrate+nitrite: V max=12.9molg–1h–1, K s=3.5M). Both nutrients were taken up simultaneously, but ammonium incorporation was faster in all cases. The results show a high capability of Ulva rigida to remove sewage-derived nitrogen from culture media. In the field, most of the nitrogen provided by the effluent would be tied up in algal biomass, supporting low nitrogen levels found at a short distance away from the source.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Es wurde über den Einfluß einer 60-Co--Bestrahlung auf die Pflanzenentwicklung und die Blattformen von bestrahlten Bintje- und Sieglinde-Kartoffel berichtet, wobei die Dosen 0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500 und 5000 rad angewandt wurden. Sieglinde weist dabei hinsichtlich Wachstum und Sproßhöhe der Kartoffelstauden eine wesentlich stärkere Empfindlichkeit gegenüber-Bestrahlung auf als Bintje, bei der auch noch bei 5000 rad ein minimales Wachstum der Kartoffelstauden beobachtet werden konnte. Außerdem waren nach Bestrahlung an den Blattfiedern der Kartoffelstauden schon zum Großteil bekannte Erscheinungen wie Strahlensukkulenz und Verwachsung von Endfiederblättern mit einem oder mehreren Nachbarfiederblättern zu erkennen, wohingegen dies bei den mehr gegen den Blattgrund zu befindlichen Fiederblättern nicht auftrat.Die-Bestrahlung wurde am Institut für Biologie und Landwirtschaft im Reaktorzentrum Seibersdorf durchgeführt, wofür wir unseren Dank aussprechen möchten.  相似文献

A survey is made of the occurrence, nature and frequency of satellited chromosomes in the agamospermous genusTaraxacum. Species belonging to the 10 sections thought to be most primitive in the genus lack satellited chromosomes. In most other sections, a characteristic satellited chromosome is seen with a large euchromatic region distal to the presumed nucleolar oraniser region (NOR). In sections of a precursor type, there is always one chromosome of this Taraxacum type per haploid genome. In sections thought to be of an advanced type the number of such satellited chromosomes is very unstable, sometimes even within the same tissue. In sectionHamata, two such satellited chromosomes are invariably found in triploids. This finding strongly supports the integrity of this section, suggests that the species of the section are monophyletic, and have evolved from a single ancestor subsequent to the occurrence of obligate agamospermy. In three sections of the genus, satellited chromosomes of the conventional type with a very small distal euchromatic region distal to the NOR are reported for the first time in the genus.  相似文献

Summary The ultrastructure of spermatogenesis is described for the first time in an aspidogastrean. The zone of differentiation which is usually formed during digenean spermiogenesis was not observed inMulticotyle purvisi. Instead, spermatid components are assembled within the common cytoplasmic mass before the outgrowth of spermatids. Microtubules, mitochondrion, nucleus and axonemes including their basal body regions, migrate from the cytoplasm into the spermatid which is pinched off at the level of the arching membrane. An unusual, complex structure of the basal body region is described. Intercentriolar bodies and striated rootlets are left behind and quickly disappear from the residual cytoplasm. Despite these atypical aspects, spermiogenesis results in the formation of mature sperm with the classical structure common to Digenea and Monogenea Polyopisthocotylea with the addition of some extra, non-cortical microtubules and a dense rod along part of the length of the sperm.Abbreviations used in the figures A cell type A, primary spermatogonium - AM arching membrane - AX axoneme - AZ attachment zone - B cell type B — spermatogonium - BB basal body region - C cell type C — spermatogonium - CEL central element - CI cisternae - CY cytophore - D cell type D — primary spermatocyte - DO doublet of microtubules - DR dark rod - E cell type E — multinucleate condensed cytophore - ER endoplasmic reticulum - G glycogen - GO Golgi body - I intercentriolar body - LB lamellate body - M mitochondrion - ME remnants of arching membranes - MT microtubules - N nucleus - R rootlet - S spermatid  相似文献

Sequence analysis of the rearranged T-cell receptor a chain gene segments from an influenza reactive T-cell clone T2.5-5 and a hemin chloride reactive T-cell hybrid SJL-HE-1.1 have revealed a previously undescribedV gene family. We have designated this familyV 15. Southern hybridization analysis has indicated that this family most probably contains only two members, and that these are conserved in each of six mouse strains representing three previously describedV haplotypes:V a ,V b , andV c .  相似文献

Production of -amylase by a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was investigated in a cell recycle bioreactor incorporating a membrane filtration module for cell separation. Experimental fermentation studies with the B. amyloliquefaciens strain WA-4 clearly showed that incorporating cell recycling increased -amylase yield and volumetric productivity as compared to conventional continuous fermentation. The effect of operating conditions on -amylase production was difficult to demonstrate experimentally due to the problems of keeping the permeate and bleed rates constant over an extended period of time. Computer simulations were therefore undertaken to support the experimental data, as well as to elucidate the dynamics of -amylase production in the cell recycle bioreactor as compared to conventional chemostat and batch fermentations. Taken together, the simulations and experiments clearly showed that low bleed rate (high recycling ratio) various a high level of -amylase activity. The simulated fermentations revealed that this was especially pronounced at high recycling ratios. Volumetric productivity was maximum at a dilution rate of around 0.4 h–1 and a high recycling ratio. The latter had to exceed 0.75 before volumetric productivity was significantly greater than with conventional chemostat fermentation.List of Symbols a proportionality constant relating the specific growth rate to the logarithm of G (h) - a 1 reaction order with respect to starch concentration - a 2 reaction order with respect to glucose concentration - B bleed rate (h–1) - C starch concentration (g/l) - C 0 starch concentration in the feed (g/l) - D dilution rate (h–1) - D E volumetric productivity (KNU/(mlh)) - e intracellular -amylase concentration (g/g cell mass) - E extracellular -amylase concentration (KNU/ml) - F volumetric flow rate (l/h) - G average number of genome equivalents of DNA per cell - k l intracellular equilibrium constant - k 2 intracellular equilibrium constant - k s Monod saturation constant (g/l) - k 3 excretion rate constant (h–1) - k d first order decay constant (h–1) - k gl rate constant for glucose production - k st rate constant for starch hydrolysis - k t1 proportionality constant for -amylase production (gmRNA/g substrate) - k 1 translation constant (g/(g mRNAh)) - KNU kilo Novo unit - m maintenance coefficient (g substrate/(g cell massh)) - n number of binding sites for the co-repressor on the cytoplasmic repressor - Q repression function K1/K2Q1.0 - R ratio of recycling - R s rate of glucose production (g/lh) - r c rate of starch hydrolysis (g/(lh)) - R eX retention by the filter of the compounds X: starch or -amylase - r intracellular -amylase mRNA concentration (g/g cell mass) - r C volumetric productivity of starch (g/lh) - r E volumetric productivity of intracellular -amylase (KNU/(g cell massh)) - r r volumetric productivity of intracellular mRNA (g/(g cell massh)) - r e volumetric productivity of extracellular -amylase (KNU/(mlh)) - r s volumetric productivity of glucose (g/(lh)) - r X volumetric productivity of cell mass (g/(lh)) - S 0 free reducing sugar concentration in the feed (g/l) - S extracellular concentration of reducing sugar (g/1) - t time (h) - V volume (l) - X cell mass concentration (g/l) - Y yield coefficient (g cell mass/g substrate) - Y E/S yield coefficient (KNU -amylase/g substrate) - Y E total amount of -amylase produced (KNU) - substrate uptake (g substrate/(g cell massh)) - specific growth rate of cell mass (h–1) - d specific death rate of cells (h–1) - m maximum specific growth rate of cell mass (h–1) This study was supported by Bioprocess Engineering Programme of the Nordic Industrial Foundation and the Center for Process Biotechnology, the Technical University of Denmark.  相似文献

Summary A constant-time version of the homonuclear NOESY experiment (CT-NOESY) is described. The experiment yields simplified protein spectra, in which cross peaks arising from protons with zero or small couplings are differentiated from other cross peaks, thus partially overcoming the problem of signal overlap. In addition, the CT-NOESY spectrum provides information on the magnitude of3JNH- and3J coupling' constants, and is thus useful to determine torsion angle constraints and to perform stereospecific assignments of CHH protons in the case of3J constants.  相似文献

Summary This study investigates statistically, with computer assistance, the square distances between chromosome centromeres in homologous pairs or groups after circularizing transformation. By the method described here, it is possible to eleminate all subjective measurments and just use the coordinates x i and y i of the centromeres. The values obtained for homologous chromosomes are shown to be specific but not always small. Low square distance values occur in greater number for the chromosomes that are most frequently involved in aneuploïdies. This is true for acrocentric chromosomes which, moreover, tend to lie close together significantly more often in female than in male mitoses; it is also true for group 17–18 especially in males, and of XX in female mitoses. Furthermore, we find significantly low square distances in chromosome pair 1.  相似文献

Summary This work deals with the ability of phage 80 to provide defective mutants of with their missing functions. Functions Involved in Recombination. As shown by others, the Int mechanism of 80 cannot excise prophage . However, 80 efficiently excises recombinants from tandem dilysogens, using its Ter mechanism. Likewise, the nonspecific mechanism Red is interchangeable between 80 and . Maturation of DNA by 80. The Ter recombinants excised by 80 from tandem dilysogens are packaged into a 80 protein coat. This contrasts with the fact, already mentionned by Dove, that 80 is extremely inefficient for packaging phage superinfecting a -lysogen. The latter result is also found when the helper phage is a hybrid with the left arm of (80hy4 or 80hy41 — see Fig. 1). However, the maturation of the superinfecting is much more efficient if the 80hy used as a helper has the att-N region of (like 80hy1). Conversely a with the att-N region of 80 (hy6 — see Fig. 1) is packaged more efficiently by 80 or 80hy4 than by 80hy1. It is suggested that the maturation of chromosome superinfecting an immune cell requires a recombination with the helper phage. Vegetative Functions. Among the replicative functoons O and P, the latter only can be supplied by 80. That N mutants are efficiently helped by 80 does not tell that 80 provides the defective with an active N product; the chromosomes are simply packaged into a 80 coat. This shows that 80 is unable to switch on the late genes of . That neither 80 nor any of the 80hy tested can provide an active N product is shown in a more direct way by their complete failure to help N -r14; this phage carries a polar mutation which makes the expression of genes O and P entirely N-dependant. The maturation of a N - by 80 contrasts with the fact that mutants affected in late genes (A, F or H) are not efficiently helped by 80. This suggests that the products coded by these genes are not interchangeable between 80 and , and that packaging of DNA into 80 coats is possible but inhibited when late proteins are present in the cell. Activation of the Late Genes. Among the im 80 h + hybrids tested, only 80hy41 is able to switch on the late genes of a N defective mutant. This hybrid differs from the other hybrids studied here, by the fact that it has the Q-S-R region of (see Fig. 1). The results are consistant with the view that the product of Q gene is sufficient for activating the late genes of a DNA. N would thus control the expression of late genes only indirectly by controlling the expression of gene Q (Couturier & Dambly have independantly reached the same conclusion, 1970). Furthermore the failure of 80 and of the 80hy1 and 80hy4 to activate the late genes of would imply that these phages are unable to provide an Q product active on the chromosome Reciprocally, switches on the late genes of prophage 80hy41, but not of prophages 80hy1 and 80hy4. This suggests that the initiation of late genes expression takes place at a main specific site located in the Q-S-R region of the chromosome. The expression of the late genes would thus be sequential, and proceed through the left arm only when steaky ends cohere. Similar conclusions were reached independantly by Toussaint (1969) and by Herskowitz and Signer (1970).

Zusammenfassung In einer teilziehenden südwestdeutschen Amselpopulation bestanden keine Geschlechtsunterschiede in der Zugausprägung erstjähriger Vögel. Nur bei wurde ein höherer Anteil erstjähriger Individuen unter den Zugvögeln im Vergleich zu Standvögeln beobachtet. Die neigten dazu, auch in höherem Alter noch zu ziehen, während mehr mit steigendem Alter im Brutgebiet überwinterten. Nur wenige Individuen wechselten in aufeinanderfolgenden Jahren vom Stand- zum Zugvogel.Die Fortpflanzungsrate der Standvögel- war höher als die der Zugvögel-, da sie größere Chancen hatten zu brüten, ihre Brutpartner früher zu legen begannen, und die Reviere bessere Qualität besaßen. von Zug- und Standvögeln waren nahezu gleich häufig in der Brutpopulation vertreten. Fast ebensoviele Zug- wie Standvogel- waren mit einem revierbesitzenden Standvogel- verpaart; ihr Bruterfolg war unabhängig von ihrem Status. Nachteile der Zugstrategie im Hinblick auf die Reproduktionsrate waren deshalb für Zugvögel- weniger ausgeprägt als für Zugvögel-. Die Unterschiede in der Fitneß von Stand- und Zugvögeln sind mit der Hypothese vereinbar, daß in teilziehenden Populationen ein balancierter Polymorphismus der Winterstrategien vorliegt, der durch unterschiedliche Produktivität und Mortalität von Stand- und Zugvögeln aufrechterhalten wird.
Expression and significance of the winter strategies in a partially migratory population of European Blackbirds(Turdus merula)
Summary Wintering strategies of a partially migratory population of European blackbirds in southwestern Germany were studied (1) to determine the relationship of the resident or migratory behaviour to age and sex and (2) to assess the relative fitness of resident and migratory individuals by determining structure of the breeding population, start of egglaying and breeding success.There was no difference in the tendency to migrate between male and female first year birds. Only in males the migratory group consisted of more first year than older birds than the resident group. With increasing age females tended to migrate, while males tended to winter in the breeding area. Few birds changed from resident to migratory status in successive years.The rate of reproduction in resident males was greater than in migratory males because of greater success in establishing territories, earlier start of egglaying, better quality of the territory and higher nesting success. Resident and migratory females were represented in equal numbers in the breeding population. Equal numbers of migrant and resident females were paired to resident males and their breeding success was independent of their status and depended only on the status of the male. Therefore there appear to be less disadvantages of migratory behaviour in terms of reproductive output in females. These differences in fitness of migratory and resident birds are consistent with the hypothesis, that there is a balanced polymorphism of these two wintering strategies in partialy migratory populations, which is balanced by differential productivity and mortality.

Summary Vicia faba callus line (VFS 1), isolated from expiants of immature embryo, grew satisfactorily onMurashige andSkoog complete medium with 1.38 M 2,4-D, or with 0.92 M 2,4-D to which 1.0 M kinetin was added. It also grew well on the B 5 modified medium containing 2.3 M 2,4-D and 25.0 M kinetin. On the last of these media the cultures grew more uniformly and without necrosis. They also showed diminishing variation in polyploidy in favour of diploids and corresponding aneuploids (hypodiploids).After being cultured for nearly three years on MS containing 1.38 M 2,4-D, 8–33% of cultures of VFS 1 were able to regenerate roots when transferred to either MS half strength with 5.37 M NAA, or to a medium without 2,4-D, or else to media with the addition of kinetin only (in various concentrations).  相似文献

Summary The inactivation of repressor was followed by the specific DNA binding assay during the course of lysogenic induction provoked by incubation at 42°C of an E. coli tif-1 lysogenic strain. The presence of up to 400 g/ml chloramphenicol during the inducing treatment did not impair the loss of repressor binding activity, whilst concentrations of 200 g/ml neomycin and 100 g/ml rifampicin effectively inhibited the inactivation of repressor.Residual protein synthesis in the presence of chloramphenicol, neomycin and rifampicin was 5%, 5% and 27% respectively of that observed in the drug-free control. This residual synthesis did not appear to involve amplification of the X-protein. These results suggest that tif-mediated inactivation of the repressor requires the activation of some specific gene(s), the translation of which appears to be resistant to chloramphenicol.  相似文献

Summary Within the Theory of Dual Radiation Action, the heuristically useful function,(), that two energy depositions, a distance apart, will result in observable damage can be written in terms of two more fundamental quantities: One,s(), describes the structure of the sensitive matrix of the cell. The other,g(), describes the probability that two elementary injuries, a distance apart, will combine to produce observable damage. A priori, the known enhancement exhibited byy() at nanometer separations could be due to an enhancement ofs(),g() or both. For the endpoint of chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster cells,() has been evaluated from experimental data ands() from a model system. From theseg() has been estimated and is roughly constant below 1 µm, decreasing rapidly at larger separations. Thus the enhanced short-range effect appears to be a function more of the spatial characteristics of the target rather than the probability of damage interaction.  相似文献

Summary The appearance of and subunits of skeletal tropomyosin in early myogenesis was studied histochemically using monoclonal antibody to tropomyosin and affinity-purified polyclonal antibody to tropomyosin. In muscle cells, in both somites and limb buds, the and subunits are simultaneously expressed and first appear in the somites at the 30–36 somites. The relatively greater amount of than tropomyosin found in early myogenesis is thus likely to result from a higher rate of tropomyosin synthesis.  相似文献

Amyloid beta-protein (A) is the major constituent of amyloid fibrils composing -amyloid plaques and cerebrovascular amyloid in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied the effect of metal cations on preformed fibrils of synthetic A by Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence spectroscopy and electronmicroscopy (EM) in negative staining. The amount of cross beta-pleated sheet structure of A 1–40 fibrils was found to decrease by metal cations in a concentration-dependent manner as measured by ThT fluorescence spectroscopy. The order of defibrillization of A 1–40 fibrils by metal cations was: Ca2+ and Zn2+ (IC50 = 100 M) > Mg2+ (IC50 = 300 M) > Al3+ (IC50 =1.1 mM). EM analysis in negative staining showed that A 1–40 fibrils in the absence of cations were organized in a fine network with a little or no amorphous material. The addition of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Zn2+ to preformed A 1–40 fibrils defibrillized the fibrils or converted them into short rods or to amorphous material. Al3+ was less effective, and reduced the fibril network by about 80 % of that in the absence of any metal cation. Studies with A 1–42 showed that this peptide forms more dense network of fibrils as compared to A 1–40. Both ThT fluorescence spectroscopy and EM showed that similar to A 1–40, A 1–42 fibrils are also defibrillized in the presence of millimolar concentrations of Ca2+. These studies suggest that metal cations can defibrillize the fibrils of synthetic A.  相似文献

Summary Human gastrectomy specimens, including 48 carcinomas and 25 selected benign cases showing extensive intestinal metaplasia (IM), were examined in detail histologically and histochemically. IM was classified into complete (type I), incomplete without sulphomucins (type IIA) and incomplete with sulphomucins (type IIB). Type IIB was associated with intestinal but not diffuse cancers (P<0.01) or benign lesions (P<0.01). The mucin profiles of IIB IM were similar to intestinal cancers with sulphomucins predominating overN-acetylsialomucins.O-acetylsialomucins were not seen in IIB IM or tumours but were observed in complete or type IIM. These findings suggest a histogenic link between incomplete IM secreting sulphomucins (or colonic metaplasia) and intestinal cancers of the human stomach.  相似文献

Summary Drosophila melanogaster is able to perform osmotropotaxis under open-loop conditions. With an optimal stimulus the average turning tendency to the side of higher concentration corresponds to a circular track with radiusr=0.8 cm. The response amplitude does not decrease within 1 or 2 h. Unilaterally antennectomized flies in an homogeneous odor field show a permanent turning tendency towards their intact side.The smallest concentration ratio to elicit osmotropotaxis in normal flies ranges between 610 and 910 at high and between 210 and 510 at an about 50 times lower odor intensity. No negative tropotaxis (i.e. turning to the side of lower concentration) is observed, even with strong repellents.  相似文献
