妊娠早期人胎盘绒毛血管紧张素的研究

用生化提取、放射免疫测定及离体培养技术研究了妊娠早期人胎盘绒毛血管紧张素的含量与 变化,观察了血管紧张素Ⅱ对早孕胎盘人绒毛膜促性腺激素（ｈＣＧ）分泌的影响,并用ＡＢＣ法探 讨了血管紧张素Ⅱ的免疫组织化学定位。结果表明：妊娠６～１０周的人胎盘绒毛组织均检测到血管 紧张素,其含量随妊娠周龄增加而升高;离体培养的６～９周人胎盘绒毛亦能分泌血管紧张素,培 液中血管紧张素的水平与妊娠周龄呈平行关系;然而妊娠６～１０周母血中血管紧张素的含量无明 显变化。免疫组织化学结果指出早孕胎盘绒毛有ＡⅡ免疫阳性反应物质．免疫阳性物主要分布在合 体滋养层细胞内;在离体培养条件下,血管紧张素Ⅱ能刺激离体培养的人胎盘绒毛ｈＣＧ的分泌,其 受体阻断剂 ［Ｓａｒ１Ｉｉｅ８］ ＡｎｇⅡ（１０－８～１１－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）对 ｈＣＧ分泌无影响,当 ［Ｓａｒ１　Ｉｉｅ８］ ＡｎｇⅡ浓度 达１０－６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,绒毛ｈＣＧ分泌量显著降低。     

子宫-胎盘血管紧张素及其受体

子宫－胎盘中存在局部肾素－血管紧张素系统（ｒｅｎｉｎ－ａｎｇｉｏｔｅｎｓｉｎ ｓｙｓｔｅｍ,ＲＡＳ）。血管紧张素的分布较广泛,胎盘合体滋养层、子宫腺体、肌肉和血管壁均可见ＡｎｇⅡ的免疫阳性染色。胎盘主要表达血管紧张素Ⅰ型受体,子宫至少有两种血管紧张素受体亚型,其分布与数量存在种间差异。血管紧张素Ⅰ型受体与Ｇ蛋白偶联,可以激活三种不同的信号途径,Ⅱ型受体能否与Ｇ蛋白偶联及其信号转导途径仍有不同看法。     

血管紧张素II2型受体基因缺失不影响肾素—血管紧张素系统

基于目前对血管紧张素Ⅱ２型受体（ＡＴ２）功能的认识,认为血管紧张素Ⅱ１型受体（ＡＴ１）和ＡＴ２受体有相互拮抗作用。依据上述论点,本研究利用ＡＴ２受体基因敲出小鼠,观察了ＡＴ２受体缺失后是否造成肾素－血管紧张素系统其它成分代偿性紊乱。结果发现,ＡＴ２受体基因缺失小鼠血浆和肾组织中血管紧张素Ⅱ的浓度以及肾组织中肾素、ＡＴ１Ａ受体的基因表达均未发生明显改变,表明ＡＴ２受体缺失未对肾素－血管紧张素系统产生     

血管紧张素受体的研究进展

血管紧张素Ⅱ受体（ＡＴＲ）是机体肾素－血管紧张素系统（ＲＡＳ）的重要组成分之一,介导血管紧张素Ⅱ的生理学效应,参与血管舒缩,水盐代谢和醛固酮分泌以及血管平滑肌增生和功能调节等,是ＲＡＳ系统作用于效应器的关键步骤,本文对ＡＴＲ分型,生物学效应,基因表达调控及信号转导途径进行综述。     

钙调神经磷酸酶依赖的信号通路参与血管紧张素Ⅱ刺激的心肌细胞肥大

本研究观察了钙调神经磷酸酶依赖的信号通路在血管紧张素Ⅱ诱导的大鼠心肌细胞肥大中的作用。在ＡｎｇⅡ刺激的大鼠心肌细胞肥大模型上,应用环孢素Ａ（ＣｓＡ）阻断ＣａＮ通路,观察心肌细胞＾３Ｈ－亮氨酸掺入,ＣａＮ,ＭＡＰＫ及ＰＫＣ活性的变化。结果表明,ＡｎｇⅡ（１０＾－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）刺激大鼠心肌细胞＾３Ｈ－亮氨酸掺入较对照组增高４６％（Ｐ〈０．０１）,ＣｓＡ（０．５－５μｇ／ｍｌ）可以浓度依赖性方式抑制Ａｎ     

蛋白激酶C在血管紧张素Ⅱ抑制心肌细胞——氧化氮合成中的作用

实验用硝酸还原酶法测定培养新生大鼠内肌细胞亚硝酸盐（ＮＯ２）和硝酸盐（ＮＯ３）总量（ＮＯ２／ＮＯ３）,反映心肌细胞一氧化氮（ＮＯ）生成情况,观察血管紧张素Ⅱ（ＡｎｇⅡ）对凡肌细胞ＮＯ生成的及其蛋白激酶Ｃ（ＰＫＣ）在该效应中的作用。结果显示：ＡｎｇⅡ可减少心肌细胞ＮＯ的含量,并具有明显的剂量－效应关系;ＡｎｇⅡ受体拮抗剂ｓａｒａｌａｓｉｎ可明显抵制ＡｎｇⅡ对ＮＯ生成的影响;Ｌ－精氨酸（Ｌ－Ａｒｇ）明     

心脏肾素－血管紧张素系统在游泳引起的生理性心肌肥大中的作用

本实验采用游泳训练（ＳＷ）引起的大鼠心肌肥大模型,通过放射免疫及生化等方法,对生理性心肌肥大时,心脏和循环肾素－血管紧张素系统（ＲＡＳ）的变化进行了初步研究。观察到游泳五周时,大鼠左、右心室重与体重比值（Ｖ／Ｂｗｔ）显著升高,同时,左、右室心肌血管紧张素Ⅱ（ＡｎｇⅡ）含量及心肌Ａｎｇ转换酶（ＡＣＥ）活性也较对照组明显升高（Ｐ＜０．０５）。心肌ＡｎｇⅡ与Ｖ／Ｂｗｔ之间存在明显的正相关关系（ｒ＝０．７７２１,Ｐ＜０．００１）。ＳＷ组血浆ＡｎｇⅠ,Ⅱ及肾素活性（ＲＡ）与对照组相比无明显差异,其血浆ＡｎｇⅡ与Ｖ／Ｂｗｔ之间无明显相关性。上述研究提示：心脏ＲＡＳ在ＳＷ引起的生理性心肌肥大中可能起着重要作用,而且这种作用在很大程度上不依赖于循环ＲＡＳ。     

急性压力超负荷后心肌cAMP与肾素血管紧张素系统活化的关系

为阐明急性压力超负荷后心肌细胞内ｃＡＭＰ浓度升高和心肌肾素血管紧张素系统活化之间是否存在内在因果联系,用腹主动脉缩窄的方法建立急性压力超负荷大鼠模型。发现在术后１ｈ心肌组织中血管紧张素转换酶（ＡＣＥ）ｍＲＮＡ及蛋白表达均显著增加,ＡＣＥ活性及血管紧张素Ⅱ（ＡｎｇⅡ）含量也明显升高,并在高水平。同时,心肌组织ｃＡＭＰ含量于术后０．５ｈ明显增加,术后５ｄ时达峰值,术后３０ｄ降至正常。在心肌细胞培养的基     

肾素—血管紧张素系统——应激激素反应系统

各种急性与慢性庆激时,循环血中及脑、心血管、肾上腺等组织中血管紧张素Ⅱ（ＡⅡ）显著增多;人剧烈运动后血浆ＡⅡ与皮质醇一样均剧烈增加,在慢性应激性高血压动物循环及组织中,ＡⅡ含量持续地增高。还发现高浓度ＡⅡ对肾上腺糖皮质激素的分泌有直接的刺激作用,而组织ＡⅡ含量增多又受肾上腺素能β受体的激发。根据近年来的系列工作,并结合文献,我们认为ＡⅡ是一种重要的应激激素;肾素－血管紧张素系统是一个应激激素反应系

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.
