THE EFFECTS OF ERYTHROMYCIN AND CHLORAMPHENICOL ON THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF MITOCHONDRIA IN SENSITIVE AND RESISTANT STRAINS OF PARAMECIUM

The effects on cell structure of 12 hr to 6 days of exposure to erythromycin or chloramphenicol, two antibiotics known to inhibit specifically the mitochondrial protein synthesizing system, have been studied in the ciliate Paramecium aurelia. A wild type strain (sensitive to both antibiotics) and three mutant strains carrying cytoplasmically inherited mutations conferring resistance to one or the other antibiotic have been used In sensitive cells both antibiotics lead to a progressive and profound alteration of mitochondrial structure evidenced by an elongation of the organelle, a considerable decrease in the number of cristae, and the appearance of some abnormal lamellar cristae and of rigid plates of periodic structure. The modifications of cell structure, then, are mainly restricted to mitochondrial cristae. The three resistant mutants studied, on the contrary, retain normal or nearly normal mitochondrial structure in the presence of the antibiotic to which they are resistant. This fact is in good agreement with the postulated location in the mitochondrial DNA of the resistance mutations studied. The results are discussed in the light of present knowledge concerning the function of the mitochondrial protein-synthesizing system.     

中药止痢灵对淋病流行株的体外抑菌作用

目的：了解止痢灵对淋病流行株的体外抑菌作用。方法：从湛江地区分离出22株淋病流行株,应用打孔法测定止痢灵及其单方的体外抑菌作用,根据抑菌圈直径大小,判定中药的敏感性。结果：复方止痢灵对淋病流行株有较强的抑菌作用;而其单方黄柏、白头翁、苦参对淋球菌的抑菌作用较弱。结论：止痢灵对淋球菌的抑菌作用,为临床治疗淋病及其他泌尿系感染开辟了新的途径,也为耐药菌株的控制提供了理论依据。     

棉铃虫AChE不同分子型对抑制剂的敏感度及其与抗药性的关系(英文)

在分离到的棉铃虫AChE五种不同的分子型中 ,2 .1s和 8.7sAChE抗性品系对毒扁豆碱的敏感度明显低于敏感品系 ,成虫头部I50 值分别相差 1 86.3和 84.8倍 ,幼虫I50 值分别相差 1 0 1 0 倍和 1 0 5 倍。幼虫 5.3sAChE对毒扁豆碱的敏感度抗性品系和敏感品系相差达 1 2 3倍 ,而成虫则没有差异。研究结果表明 2 .1s、5.3s和 8.7sAChE敏感度降低可能是造成棉铃虫对有机磷和氨基甲酸酯类杀虫药剂产生抗性的主要原因     

A COMPARISON OF SENSITIVITY TO INHIBITOR AMONG ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE (AChE) MOLECULAR FORMS OF RESISTANT AND SUSCEPTIBLE STRAINS IN HELICOVERPA ARMIGERA*

Abstract The sensitivity of 2.8s and 8.7s acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to eserine sulfate is significantly lower in resistant (R) strain than in susceptible (S) strain in five AChE forms isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation from cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera. There are 186 and 85 times of difference in heads of adults and 10¹⁰ and 10⁵ times of difference in heads of larvae based on a comparison of I₅₀ values for 2.8s and 8.7s forms respectively. The sensitivity of 5.3s form of AChE to eserine sulfate shows 123 times of difference between R and S strains in larvae, however no difference in adults. The above results indicate that insensitive 2.8s, 8.7s and 5.3s forms of AChE may play an important role in the resistance of cotton boll‐worm to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides.     

中国陆地生态系统对全球变化的敏感性研究

根据自然植被净第一性生产力综合模型和农业净第一性生产力模型计算了我国自然植被及农作物的净第一性生产力,结果表明:在所有可能的气候条件下,我国陆地生态系统的生产力表现出由东南向西北递减的趋势及明显的条带状分布,并在新疆地区形成明显的低值区。在年平均气温升高2℃且降水不变的情况下,湿润地区生产力增加幅度最大,约增加1～2tDW·hm~(-2)·a~(-1);在年平均气温升高2℃、年降水增加20％的情况下,干旱、半干旱地区生产力增加幅度最大,约增加0.5～3.0tDW·hm~(-2)·a~(-1);在年平均气温升高2℃、年降水减少20％的情况下,湿润地区生产力提高约0.5～1.0tDW·hm~(-2)·a~(-1),干旱、半干旱地区生产力降低约0.5～2.0tDW·hm~(-2)·a~(-1)。     

恶疫霉致病力和对甲霜灵敏感性的遗传与变异*

以分离自黑龙江腐烂苹果的恶疫霉Phytophthora cactorum Schroeter野生型菌株Ap14为亲本,采用菌丝块创伤接种法测定了恶疫霉对苹果的致病力在无性繁殖和有性生殖后代的遗传。结果是连续2代单游动孢子后代在苹果上所致病斑半径分别为22.4~24.1mm和21.8~23.4mm,与亲本所致病斑半径22.5mm无显著差异;而其20个自交后代个体所致病斑半径为21.4~25.8mm,与亲本有显著差异,其中2株致病力显著强于亲本,其余与亲本相似。表明恶疫霉对苹果的致病力在无性后代可稳定遗传,而在自交有性后代发生分离。同时在含甲霜灵0.05μg/ml的LBA平板上测定了恶疫霉菌丝生长对甲霜灵的敏感性在无性和有性后代的遗传。结果是恶疫霉对甲霜灵的敏感性在无性单孢后代无显著变异,而在50个自交有性后代中,上述浓度对其菌丝生长的抑制率分布范围为67.3~97.1%,与亲本78.3%有极显著差异,其中3株高于亲本,3株低于亲本,44株与亲本相似。表明恶疫霉对甲霜灵的敏感性同样在无性后代稳定遗传而在有性后代发生变异。上述结果提示,供试恶疫霉菌株中上述性状可能由细胞核杂合基因控制。     

小鼠对天花粉蛋白体内及体外免疫应答的基本特点

C 57 BL/6 J小鼠在应用弗氏全佐剂或铝矾为佐剂结合天花粉蛋白免疫后都能引起抗原特异的IgE类抗体的反应以及其它Ig类抗体的反应;IgE的滴度和总的抗天花粉蛋白抗体的滴度的动态变化趋势基本一致,但并不完全同步。IgE类上升得较IgG等类抗体为慢,但上升的速度要快。脾和肠系膜淋巴结细胞分泌抗体的动态变化也和血清并不完全一致。天花粉蛋白在一定浓度下能抑制小鼠T淋巴细胞在体外的抗原特异的增殖反应和ConA反应。这抑制并不限于增殖过程的启动。补充外源性的IL-2也不能消除这抑制作用。天花粉蛋白加热变性后丧失了对小鼠淋巴细胞的毒性,并能引起经未变性天花粉蛋白体内致敏的小鼠的T淋巴细胞在体外的明显增殖。应用微量的天花粉蛋白为抗原,以及少量的无凝集素的conA条件培液等能在体外诱发致敏的B淋巴细胞产生二次抗体应答。
