NEWER CONCEPTS OF ANATOMY OF THE LUNGS—Advantages to Surgeons,Internists, Bronchoscopists and Radiologists

In the newer concept of the anatomical divisions of the lungs, the bronchopulmonary segment is the primary unit. Specific lung areas are identified by their relationship to the branch of the bronchus that serves them. The left upper lobe apical segment, for example, is that which is supplied by the left upper lobe apical bronchus. The boundaries of the segments are definitive; thin tissue surrounds each segment.Some diseases of the lungs tend to progress only “through channels”—reaching a segment via the specific airway serving it, and then frequently remaining within the segmental boundaries.The concept is of particular importance to surgeons because of the trend toward segmental resection and salvage of vital lung tissue. In addition, a more definitive nomenclature, useful to surgeons, internists, radiologists and bronchoscopists in designating the location of a lesion or a foreign body, is possible.

A SURVEY OF THE HOLARCTIC LINYPHIIDAE （ARANEAE）, OF THE ERIGONINE GENUS ZORNELLA JACKSON, 1932

The Holarctic erigonid genus Zornella has been surveyed. Four spedes are recognized in this genus, two Palaearctic： Z. aultrigera （L. Koch, 11879） ＆ Z. orientalis sp. nov., and two Nearcfic： Z. arrnata （Banks, 1906） ＆ Z. ayptodon Chamherlin, 1920. It is demouslrated that neither nearcfic species is agnspedtic with Z. atltrigera as was thought by Holm and other authors. Z. sp. nov. is describcd from northeastern Siberia. All of the species are illustrated and their distributions mapped.     

SPECTROSCOPIC DETERMINATION OF THE TOXICITY,ABSORPTION, REDUCTION,AND TRANSLOCATION OF Cr(VI) IN TWO MAGNOLIOPSIDA SPECIES

Hexavalent chromium is a contaminant highly mobile in the environment that is toxic for plants at low concentrations. In this work, the physiological response of Convolvulus arvensis and Medicago truncatula plants to Cr(VI) treatments was compared. C. arvensis is a potential Cr hyperaccumulator well adapted to semiarid conditions that biotransform Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III). M. truncatula is a model plant well adapted to semiarid conditions with a well studied genetic response to heavy metal stress. The results demonstrated that C. arvensis is more tolerant to Cr toxicity and has a higher Cr translocation to the leaves. The inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy results showed that C. arvensis plants treated with 10 mg Cr(VI) L^–1 accumulated 1512, 210, and 131 mg Cr kg^–1 in roots, stems, and leaves, respectively. While M. truncatula plants treated with the same Cr(VI) concentration accumulated 1081, 331, and 44 (mg Cr kg^–1) in roots, stems, and leaves, respectively. Enzymatic assays demonstrated that Cr(VI) decreased ascorbate peroxidase activity and increased catalase activity in M. truncatula, while an opposite response was found in C. arvensis. The x-ray absorption spectroscopy studies showed that both plant species reduced Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III).

SYNTHESIS,HYDROLYSIS AND ANTI-EBV ACTIVITY OF A SERIES OF 3′-MODIFIED cycloSal-BVDUMP PRONUCLEOTIDES

A series of cycloSal-BVDUMP phosphate triesters has been prepared. The prototype compound was 3-methyl-cycloSal-BVDUMP 2. Furthermore, a series of 3′-O-acyl-modified derivatives having carboxylic acids with different lipophilicity or a L-configurated α-amino acid (phenylalanine) was prepared. The hydrolysis properties in phosphate buffer PBS as well as in PBS containing pig liver esterase (PLE) will be described. Finally, the biological activity against EBV has been determined.

DESCRIPTION OF A KUBANOCHOERUS SKULL FROM TONGXIN, NINGXIA

<正> A rich Middle Miocene mammalian fauna was discovered in a gully named Maerzuizi Gou, Tongxin County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, in the winter of 1985. Among the fossils is a well preserved skull evidently belonging to Kubanochoerus. It is the third and, as far as we know, the best preserved of its kind so far in the world. A careful study of the skull has enabled us not only to review all the fossils previously discovered and assigned either to Listriodon or to Bunolistriodon in China, but also to clarify in certain degree the evolutionary trend and the classification of that particular group.
