应用细胞内记录,研究了豚鼠腹腔神经节（ＣＧ）细胞非胆碱能迟慢兴奋性突触后电位（ＬＳ－ＥＰＳＰ）与５－羟色胺（５－ＨＴ）及Ｐ物质（ＳＰ）的相互关系。当重复电刺激内脏大神经（ＳＮ）时,有７８．２％的细胞（１６１／２０６）在动作电位发放后出现ＬＳ－ＥＰＳＰ,灌注或压力注射５－ＨＴ或ＳＰ,分别在６８．５％的细胞（１０２／１４９）及５２．１％的细胞（９８／１８８）上引起５－ＨＴ或ＳＰ去极化反应,两者差异非常显著（Ｐ＜０．０１）;大部分具有ＬＳ－ＥＰＳＰ的细胞对５－ＨＴ（７３／８８,８３．０％）或ＳＰ（６８／１１４５９．６％）敏感,而不出现ＬＳ－ＥＰＳＰ的细胞仅有少数对５－ＨＴ（１０／２６,３８．５％）或ＳＰ（１１／３６,３０．６％）敏感,两类细胞的差异非常显著（５－ＨＴ：Ｐ＜０．０００１,ＳＰ：Ｐ＜０．０１）。上述结果支持５－ＨＴ与ＳＰ均作为递质参与ＬＳ－ＥＰＳＰ形成的观点。此外,在１３３个细胞上同时检测了５－ＨＴ与ＳＰ的作用,其中有６６个细胞（４９．６％）对５－ＨＴ及ＳＰ均敏感,提示在ＣＧ细胞,５－ＨＴ与ＳＰ之间可能存在某种机能联系。

NA和5－HT对小脑脑片浦肯野细胞自发及诱发电活动的影响

在大鼠小脑脑片上观察了ＮＡ和５－ＨＴ对浦肯野细胞（ＰＣ）的自发放电活动及由白质刺激所引起的诱发放电活动的影响。结果表明：（１）ＮＡ使ＰＣ产生抑制、兴奋和双相反应,以抑制反应为主（７９．８％）;５－ＨＴ引起ＰＣ兴奋和抑制反应,以兴奋反应略多（５７．８％）。（２）先后灌流ＮＡ和５－ＨＴ对同一个ＰＣ自发放电的影响主要为抑制（ＮＡ）－兴奋（５－ＨＴ）（５３．８％）。（３）ＮＡ对ＰＣ的诱发复杂锋电位（ＣＳ）和简单锋电位（ＳＳ）反应,主要产生增强效应（５７．１％和６２．８％）;５－ＨＴ对ＰＣ诱发ＣＳ和ＳＳ反应则主要产生压抑作用（６０．０％和６８．２％）。（４）先后灌流ＮＡ和５－ＨＴ对同一个ＰＣ的诱发ＣＳ和ＳＳ反应,主要表现为ＮＡ对这两种诱发反应的增强和５－ＨＴ的压抑效应（６０．０％和５２．９％）。这些结果提示,ＮＡ能和５－ＨＴ能传入纤维可以通过释放ＮＡ和５－ＨＴ调节ＰＣ的兴奋性水平并改变ＰＣ对爬行纤维和苦状纤维突触传入的反应敏感性,影响小脑皮层神经元网络的感觉运动整合过程。     

褪黑素对大鼠海马神经元谷氨酸所致毒性的拮抗作用

在大鼠海马脑片上电刺激Ｓｃｈａｆｆｅｒ 侧支纤维, 胞外记录ＣＡ１ 区锥体细胞层诱发群体锋电位（ｐｏｐｕｌａｔｉｏｎ ｓｐｉｋｅ,ＰＳ） , 观察灌流谷氨酸（Ｇｌｕ） 和褪黑素（ＭＥＬ） 对ＰＳ的影响。结果显示：５－０ ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ浓度的Ｇｌｕ 可使ＰＳ值下降至对照值的４－１ ％ ; ＭＥＬ（０－４ 、０－５ 和０－６ μｍｏｌ／Ｌ） 与５－０ ｍｍｏｌ／ＬＧｌｕ 混合给药,ＰＳ值分别变化为对照值的１４－７ ％ 、１０５－２％ 、２４－３ ％ ; ＭＥＬ（０－５ μｍｏｌ／Ｌ） 、Ｇｌｕ （５－０ ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ） , 与赛庚啶（ＣＤＰ,０－５ μｍｏｌ／Ｌ） 混合给药,ＰＳ值下降至０ 。上述结果提示,５－０ ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ浓度的Ｇｌｕ 有神经毒性作用, 但可为ＭＥＬ拮抗, 这可能由５ＨＴ受体所介导。     

微生物木聚糖降解酶研究进展及应用前景

木聚糖是植物半纤维素的主要成分,它是除纤维素外,自然界中最为丰富的多糖。木聚糖的基本结构单元是由β－１．４或β－１．３糖苷键连接的多聚木糖链,在Ｄ－木糖的第二位氧上连接有Ｄ－葡萄糖醛酸或４－Ｏ－甲基葡萄糖醛酸或在第三位氧上连接有Ｌ－阿拉伯呋喃糖。有些木聚糖还在第二或第三位氧上发生乙酰化。不同来源的木聚糖在结构上有一定差异。木聚糖酶是一类木聚糖降解酶系（表１）,对降解自然界大量存在的半纤维素起着重要作用。它们不但可以降解木聚糖生成木糖,而且能以农作物残渣中的半纤维素为原料生产经济价值较高的产品。由…     

5－羟色胺对大鼠下丘脑脑片弓状核神经元自发电活动的影响

在７４张大鼠下丘脑脑片上,用玻璃微电极记录到弓状核自发放电单位１７６个,其放电形式有三种：慢不规则型（１１９个,６７．６％）;快连续型（４６个,２６．１％）;位相型（１１个,６．３％）。５－ＨＴ（１０－６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ,３ｍｉｎ）对不同形式放电单位的作用均以抑制为主：对部分慢不规则单位（９／１１９）则表现为先抑制后兴奋的双相性反应,对少数神经元有兴奋作用。１２个被５－ＨＴ抑制的单位,其抑制作用不能被噻庚啶（ＣＨＤ,１０－５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）阻断,４个被５－ＨＴ抑制的的单位中,其抑制作用可被二甲基麦角新碱（ＭＳＧ１０－６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）部分或完全阻断。７个被５－ＨＴ抑制的单位,其中４个单位中,５－ＨＴ的抑制作用可被特异性５－ＨＴ１Ａ受体阻断剂Ｐｉｎｄｏｂｉｎｄ－５－ＨＴ１Ａ部分阻断;但另外３个单位的阻断效果不明显。上述结果表明：５－ＨＴ对弓状核不同形式放电单位的作用均以抑制为主,其作用可能是通过５－羟色胺（５－ＨＴ１）受体介导的,部分还可能是通过５－ＨＴ１Ａ受体介导的。

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.
