盐胁迫下珠眉海棠与山定子叶片Na+区域化的研究

以盐敏感型山定子实生苗和耐盐型珠眉海棠组培苗为材料,采用灌注离心技术研究了叶片质外体和共质体中Na^＋和Ca^2＋浓度的变化。结果表明：随盐胁迫强度的加强,叶片水势下降;叶片Na^＋含量、质外体和共质体中Na^＋浓度升高,珠眉海棠明显低于山定子;叶片Ca^2＋含量、共质体Ca^2＋浓度随盐胁迫的增加而升高,但珠眉海棠高于山定子,50mmol／L NaCl胁迫对质外体Ca^2＋没有明显影响,100mmol／LNaCl胁迫下增加,珠眉海棠低于山定子;叶片共质体与质外体中Na^＋浓度的比值,珠眉海棠明显高于山定子,说明在盐胁迫下珠眉海棠具有较强的离子区域化能力,离子区域化是珠眉海棠的主要耐盐机制。     

盐胁迫下胡杨愈伤组织生理生化特性

目的：探讨胡杨愈伤组织的耐盐性与生理生化指标的关系。方法：不同浓度NaCl胁迫下,对胡杨愈伤组织的丙二醛（MDA）含量、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性以及酯酶同工酶、过氧化物酶同工酶、超氧化物歧化酶同工酶酶谱进行研究。结果：随着盐浓度的增加,丙二醛（MDA）含量逐渐升高;从三种保护酶活性来看,过氧化物酶（POD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性均呈先上升后下降的趋势,在70mmol/L NaCl胁迫下达到最高值,POD、CAT酶活分别为2748u/g．min和152u/g．min,分别比对照高104％和72％;超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性则呈先降低后稍上升的趋势,总体均比对照低。过氧化物酶同工酶的第2、3条酶带在70mmol/L NaCl胁迫下颜色最深,且酶带较宽;超氧化物歧化酶同工酶的第1条酶带仅在未经盐胁迫时存在,说明该酶带所代表的酶对盐很敏感;第4条酶带随盐胁迫浓度加大先消失后出现,可能是愈伤组织逐渐适应盐胁迫的结果。结论：经盐胁迫的胡杨愈伤组织中,POD和CAT酶主要起保护作用;结合同浓度盐胁迫下愈伤组织的形态观察,总体上看,胡杨愈伤组织能较好地耐受70mmol/L NaCl。     

盐胁迫下囊果碱蓬出苗状况及苗期抗盐性

研究了盐胁迫对囊果碱蓬出苗、幼苗生长、离子积累以及光合放氧速率的影响.囊果碱蓬生长的最适盐浓度在200 mmol/L NaCl左右.高浓度NaCl(400 mmol/L和600 mmol/L)没有显著降低其出苗率,200 mmol/L NaCl对出苗率具有促进作用.400 mmol/L和600 mmol/L NaCl显著降低了光合放氧速率.囊果碱蓬在高浓度NaCl处理下能够维持叶片较高的K+/Na+ 及含水量可能是其适应高盐生境的重要机制.     

盐胁迫下苜蓿中盐蛋白的诱导产生

盐胁迫下苜蓿叶片中蛋白质的合成受到抑制,而其离体叶绿体中蛋白质合成增强,ABA阻碍了后者的蛋白质合成。NaCl胁迫下,“松江”和“肇东”两品种的根和叶中均无新多肽出现。在盐敏感的“松江”品种离体叶绿体中,NaGl诱导70,65,60和43kD4种多肽产生,ABA诱导60和17kD两种多肽产生;在较抗盐的“肇东”品种离体叶绿体中,NaGl诱导83,80kD和43kD3种多肽产生,但100mmol/L NaCl并不诱导83kD多肽出现,ABA无明显作用。两品种的43kD多肽和肇东品种的80kD多肽都存在于类囊体膜上,而松江品种的60kD多肽则存在于叶绿体间质中。     

盐胁迫下大麦幼苗多胺的种类和状态与多胺氧化酶活性的关系

200 mmol/L的NaCl胁迫8 d大麦幼苗叶片和根系中的三种形态多胺都有不同程度地下降,其中游离态多胺含量的下降幅度最大;高氯酸不溶性结合态多胺含量变化较小.根系中PAO的活性先上升后下降,而叶片中PAO的活性先下降后上升.游离态多胺中,亚精胺和精胺(Spd Spm)的含量变化与相应部位PAO的活性变化趋势相反,表明PAO在盐胁迫下可能调节了游离态多胺的含量从而影响高氯酸可溶结合态与高氯酸不溶结合态多胺的含量.     

NaCl预处理对盐胁迫下苜蓿中Na~ ,Cl~-和脯氨酸累积分布的影响

NaCl胁迫下,苜蓿的根、茎和叶片中Na~ 和Cl~-显著累积,60％以上的离子分布在液泡中;100mmol/L NaCl或 0.1mmol/L ABA预处理后,液泡中离子的累积显著增加。在200mmol/L NaCl下,体内脯氨酸显著增加,95％以上分布在细胞质中;100mmol/L NaCl预处理后,体内脯氨酸含量及其在细胞质中的累积增加。耐盐性较强的肇东品种和耐盐性较弱的松江品种在Na~ ,Cl~-和脯氨酸的累积和分布上有差异。     

人直肠癌β-葡糖苷酶同工酶的动力学研究

 本文对人直肠癌及癌旁组织(对照)的β-葡糖苷酶同工酶的分离、底物动力学和某些物质的影响做了初步探索。结果表明:在这两种组织中分别存在三种同工酶。一种是胞液酶,Km值为1.18mmol/L(对照为1.13mmol/L),受NaCl和抗癌药WB非竞争性抑制;第二种是溶酶休可溶性酶,Km值为2.38mmol/L(对照为2.94mmol/L),不受NaCl影响,受WB的混合型抑制,直肠癌此酶受顺铂的竞争性抑制;第三种是溶酶体膜结合酶,受NaCl激活,使底物动力学由负协同性酶变为米氏酶。肿瘤组织中三种同工酶活性均高于癌旁组织中相应的酶活性。     

植物组织电阻及其应用

植物组织可分为质外体和共质体,其中,质外体由细胞壁、细胞间隙和导管组成,共质体由胞间连丝把相邻的原生质贯穿在一起而成。对于一鲜嫩植物组织来说,可将组织中质外体部分和共质体部分分别看作一连续整体,在两者之间有近似绝缘层的高电阻膜存在。此细胞膜的比电阻一般可达10~3—10~4Ω·cm,和5nm厚的油层相近。因此,可以近似地将共质体和质外体看作是电学上相并联的两条支路。其中,共质体电阻由膜电阻、胞内电阻和胞问电阻相互串联而成。由于胞内离子强度较     

激光对香石竹愈伤组织蛋白质和同工酶谱的影响

用氦氖激光处理香石竹愈伤组织,可使材料中的34kD和28kD蛋白含量高于对照,并产生分子量约为22kD的新的蛋白带。而用氩离子激光处理后,则出现一条分子量约为45kD的新的蛋白带。此外,激光处理亦明显影响愈伤组织的过氧化物酶同工酶谱及其活性,其中氦氖激光处理后产生了Rf为0.17和0.26的新酶带,而用氩离子激光处理则只产生Rf为0.17的新酶带。激光对香石竹愈伤组织的酯酶同工酶无影响。     

不同提取液提取水稻幼苗质外体蛋白效果的比较

提取植物组织质外体蛋白质的主要困难是提取效率低且易被细胞质蛋白污染。为解决上述问题,以12天93-11水稻幼苗为试验材料,使用3种含不同浓度钾和钙离子的缓冲液作为提取液进行提取效果比较。3种提取液的相同成分都是0.1mol/L Tris-HCl pH 7.6,1mmol/L PMSF,区别点在于:Buffer A含0.2mol/L KCl;Buffer B含0.2mol/L CaCl₂;Buffer C含0.1mol/L KCl和0.1mol/L CaCl₂。结果表明,Buffer A的蛋白产率达到了(0.49±0.07)mg/g FW(叶片)和(0.83±0.06)mg/g FW(根部),比Buffer B和Buffer C分别提高了122.7%和53.1%(叶片)以及102.4%和59.6% (根部)。六磷酸葡萄糖脱氢酶活性检测的结果表明在这些蛋白质提取物中细胞质蛋白的污染率很低,可以控制在1%以下。这些实验结果说明通过优化提取液,建立了有效提取水稻幼苗质外体蛋白质的方法,可应用于植物质外体蛋白质组学研究。

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

The first and second sessions of the Workshop focussed on the basics of ultrasound and infrasound, their applications in both industry and medicine, and metrology and protection standards for ultrasound applications.     

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.     

Chemokines and cytokines: axis and allies in asthma and allergy

Allergic asthma can be precipitated by many factors. For the atopic person, fungus, pollen, dust mites, cockroach antigens, and diesel exhaust are all agents that may trigger an allergic attack. Cytokines and chemokines are integral mediators of fungal asthma. From the earliest time points, they recruit and activate the cells required for the clearance of fungus as well as being critical factors involved in the immunopathology of this disease. In the final analysis, it is clear that these mediators can act to the benefit or the detriment of the host.     

Oxidation and nitration of ribonuclease and lysozyme by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase

In spite of the many studies on protein modifications by reactive species, knowledge about the products resulting from the oxidation of protein-aromatic residues, including protein-derived radicals and their stable products, remains limited. Here, we compared the oxidative modifications promoted by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide/nitrite in two model proteins, ribonuclease (6Tyr) and lysozyme (3Tyr/6Trp). The formation of protein-derived radicals and products was higher at pH 5.4 and 7.4 for myeloperoxidase and peroxynitrite, respectively. The main product was 3-nitro-Tyr for both proteins and oxidants. Lysozyme rendered similar yields of nitro-Trp, particularly when oxidized by peroxynitrite. Hydroxylated and dimerized products of Trp and Tyr were also produced, but in lower yields. Localization of the main modified residues indicates that peroxynitrite decomposes to radicals within the proteins behaving less specifically than myeloperoxidase. Nitrogen dioxide is emphasized as an important protein modifier.
