间歇性低氧对大鼠心室肌细胞短暂外向电流的影响

利用全细胞膜片箝方法研究间歇性低氧后左、右心室肌细胞短暂外向电流（Ｉｔｏ）的变化,以探讨间歇性低氧增强心肌电稳定性的离子机制。大鼠间歇性暴露于低氧环境２８ｄ（Ｈ２８,６ｈ／ｄ）后,右心室肌细胞的Ｉｔｏ密度较常氧对照组明显增加（１６１８±４６１比６３２±１３５ｐＡ／ｐＦ,Ｐ＜００５）,而左心室肌细胞Ｉｔｏ密度与对照组无明显差异。间歇性低氧暴露４２ｄ（Ｈ４２）动物,其左、右心室肌细胞Ｉｔｏ密度与对照组无明显差异。Ｉｔｏ激活、失活和恢复动力学变化主要表现为Ｈ４２组左、右心室肌细胞的稳态失活曲线明显向负电压方向移位。左心室细胞的半数失活电压（－３８９±２３）ｍＶ与对照组（－３２８±５９）ｍＶ比较,具有显著性差异（Ｐ＜００１）;右心室细胞的半数失活电压（－４１９±４５）ｍＶ与对照组（－３３５±３５）ｍＶ比较,具有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０００１）。据此可推断,Ｉｔｏ密度的改变可反映心室在低氧早期阶段的不同动力学反应。失活动力学改变参与间歇性低氧心脏保护机制

新生大鼠脊髓薄片中的运动神经元对腹外侧索刺激的反应

在新生大鼠脊髓薄片细胞内记录了２５个经送行刺激鉴定的运动神经元（ＭＮ）,发现腹外侧索刺激可在８０％的ＭＮ诱发去极化反应（ＥＰＳＰ）。在静息电位水平ＥＰＳＰ的潜伏期、达峰时间、幅度、半衰时间和时程分别为１．２±０．２ｍｓ,２．６±０．４ｍｓ,１３±３ｍＶ,５．３±１．６ｍｓ和３１±８ｍｓ。ＥＰＳＰ呈等级性和膜电位依赖性,平均翻转电位为－８ｍＶ,潜伏期在０．—５Ｈｚ频率的刺激时相对恒定,但刺激频率＞２０Ｈｚ时ＥＰＳＰ变小或被取消。ＥＰＳＰ在低钙高镁溶液中被阻抑叵在无镁溶液中增强。犬尿烯酸（０．５—１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）可逆地阻断ＥＰＳＰ,但氯胺酮（５０—１００μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）仅部分抑制之。结果表明腹外侧索中的下行纤维可能释放兴奋性氨基酸而激活ＭＮ。

采用膜片钳技术以全细胞方式在小鼠腹腔渗出巨噬细胞（ＰＥＭ）中记录到一种不完全失活的外向Ｋ＋电流（Ｉｏ）,该电流在膜电位正于－１０ｍＶ时激活,对Ｋ＋具有高度特异性,其半值电导电位Ｖ１／２为７９．５ｍＶ,在膜电位正于３０ｍＶ时,该电流失活,在６０－１２０ｍＶ的膜电位范围内,其失活时间常数τｉ与膜电位无关．随着胞外Ｋ＋离子浓度（［Ｋ＋］ｏ）升高,该电流的失活过程减慢。在生理电压范围内（－８０－０ｍＶ）,该电流缺乏稳态失活,且其失活不具有频率依赖性。胞外４－ＡＰ（３ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）、Ｂａ２＋（３ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）及ＴＥＡ（５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）可抑制该电流,抑制率分别为８５％,６６％及３１％。胞外Ｚｎ２＋（１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）可影响该电流活性,对该电流的抑制具有电压依赖性

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.
