光泵磁强计双轴探测听觉诱发脑磁信号的初步探索

目的 光泵磁强计（optically pumped magnetometer，OPM）脑磁图（magnetoencephalography，MEG）作为新一代脑功能成像技术，在多轴探测设计下具备了对传统MEG信号“盲区”的检测能力，为脑内功能活动研究提供更全面的技术工具。本文旨在探讨双轴OPM-MEG在测量真实生理反应时的信号分布差异特征。方法 采用9通道OPM-MEG对10名健康受试者的听觉相关频率跟随反应进行检测。通过每个被试1 000个试次的数据采集，获取所有通道头皮切向（Y轴）和径向（Z轴）的磁响应信号。结果 研究显示，双轴OPM-MEG记录到的信号在强度和分布上与传统MEG存在明显区别。双轴信号明显强于传统MEG，且传统MEG难以记录的切向信号显著强于径向信号。结论 本研究证实了双轴OPM-MEG在测量真实生理信号方面的能力，并且双轴测量能够获取更丰富的信息，特别是可能存在于传统MEG测量盲区中的脑功能活动信号。这为基于传统MEG记录的神经电活动模型带来了重大更新。双轴OPM-MEG的多轴记录特性在脑科学研究和脑疾病诊断领域都具有巨大的应用潜力。这项研究初步展示了双轴OPM-MEG在听觉诱发信号研究中的价值，为后续深入研究奠定了基础。

基于DNA条形码技术鉴定库尔勒机场的蝙蝠物种

随着航空业的发展,野生动物与航空器之间的冲突愈演愈烈,研究机场周边飞行动物对机场动物撞击防范工作具有重要意义。蝙蝠作为世界上唯一的飞行类哺乳动物,也是严重影响夜间飞机飞行安全的隐患之一,但由于蝙蝠体型较小,发生撞击后往往无法发现相对完整的尸体,多为血液和毛发等,因此物种鉴定比较困难。从库尔勒机场防鸟网采集到一具蝙蝠样本,基于DNA条形码技术（DNA barcoding）,通过16S rRNA遗传距离分析,发现棕蝠属（Eptesicus）与库尔勒样本群体间遗传距离为0.031~0.092,属内与库尔勒样本种间差异最大的是南美棕蝠（Eptesicus diminutus）,遗传距离为0.092;差异最小的是大棕蝠（Eptesicus serotinus）,遗传距离为0.031。结合形态学分析并通过解剖证实该个体的性腺尚未发育,确定了库尔勒机场挂网蝙蝠物种为大棕蝠。本研究为机场不易辨认或者保存不完整样本的物种鉴定提供方法依据。在确定物种后,了解其生活史特征,有利于机场动物撞击防范工作的精准实施,从而最大限度降低机场损失。     

河南济源人工引水渠隧道蝙蝠冬眠生态学特征

2017-2020年期间,每年1月份对河南省济源市邵原镇布袋沟水库人工引水渠隧道内蝙蝠进行冬眠生态学特征调查,共发现2科5属7种蝙蝠在此冬眠,包括马铁菊头蝠（Rhinolophus ferrumequinum）、小菊头蝠（R.pusillus）、华南水鼠耳蝠（Myotis laniger）、白腹管鼻蝠（Murina leucogaster）、金管鼻蝠（Mu.aurata）、奥氏长耳蝠（Plecotus ognevi）和亚洲宽耳蝠（Barbastella leucomelas）。马铁菊头蝠是优势种（约52%-73%的冬眠个体）,其次是小菊头蝠（约19%-37%）、华南水鼠耳蝠（约5%-8%）,其余蝙蝠物种数量不足3%。2017-2020年冬眠蝙蝠个体总数呈增长趋势,但仍少于早期报道的数量。有42个隧道每年均有蝙蝠冬眠,而且不同年度冬眠数量也不尽相同。通过多元线性回归分析发现,隧道长度可能是影响蝙蝠冬眠栖息场所选择的主要影响因子（Adjusted R²=0.208,P=0.001）。每个隧道内,蝙蝠具有不同的冬眠栖点位置,约4/5的蝙蝠选择温暖且环境相对稳定的隧道深处（> 30 m）作为冬眠栖点,超过95%的个体选择长度> 60 m的隧道冬眠。蝙蝠具有不同的冬眠方式,绝大多数个体采用独栖方式进行冬眠（> 90%）,少数采用聚集方式。不同的冬眠栖点和冬眠方式可能有利于冬眠成本优化。此外,栖点温度与蝙蝠体温之间呈显著正相关（R²=0.98,P < 0.001）,而且蝙蝠冬眠期间的栖点温度具有种内和种间差异。研究结果为我国蝙蝠种群保护和冬眠场所管理提供科学依据。     

模拟失重不同时长对大鼠抑郁样行为的影响

目的 本研究旨在观察不同持续时间的模拟失重对大鼠抑郁样行为和海马超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）的影响，以探究其影响及可能的作用机制。方法 采用后肢悬挂（HLS）尾吊法模拟大鼠失重状态。将大鼠分为对照组和不同模拟失重时间尾吊组（尾吊时长分别为1、2、3、4周）。采用旷场实验（OFT）、新物体识别实验（NORT）、强迫游泳实验（FST）观察大鼠抑郁样行为，采用酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）法测定海马SOD和CAT活性。结果 OFT结果显示，与对照组相比，HLS不同时间大鼠的僵滞时间增加（P<0.05，P<0.01）。在NORT中，与对照组相比，HLS不同时间大鼠对新物体的探索潜伏期增加，探索次数和时间减少（P<0.05，P<0.01）。在FST中，与对照组相比，HLS不同时间大鼠在FST中的不动时间增加，攀爬次数减少（P<0.05，P<0.01）。与对照组相比，HLS不同时间组大鼠海马组织中SOD和CAT水平均下降（P<0.05，P<0.01）。结论 短时间或长时间的失重都会导致大鼠产生类抑郁样行为。     

Frequency tuning in animal locomotion

In locomotion that involves repetitive motion of propulsive structures (arms, legs, fins, wings) there are resonant frequencies f(*) at which the energy consumption is a minimum. As animals need to change their speed, they can maintain this energy minimum by tuning their body resonances. We discuss the physical principles of frequency tuning, and how it relates to forces, damping, and oscillation amplitude. The resonant frequency of pendulum-type oscillators (e.g. swinging arms and legs) may be changed by varying the mass moment of inertia, or the vertical acceleration of the pendulum pivot. The frequency of elastic vibrations (e.g. the bell of a jellyfish) can be tuned with a non-linear modulus of elasticity: soft for low deflection amplitudes (low resonant frequency), and stiff for large displacements (high resonant frequency). Tuning of elastic oscillations can also be achieved by changing the effective length or cross-sectional area of the elastic members, or by allowing springs in parallel or in series to become active. We propose that swimming and flying animals generate oscillating propulsive forces from precisely placed shed vortices and that these tuned motions can only occur when vortex shedding and the simple harmonic motion of the elastic elements of the propulsive structures are in resonance.     

Frequency of hydronephrosis in Wistar rats

Kidneys from 1806 Wistar rats were examined grossly for hydronephrosis and ureteral dilation. Hydronephrosis was seen more often on the right side (11%) than the left (0.3%). Overall frequency of hydronephrosis in males (181/1305) was greater than in females (23/501), and the frequency was statistically greater in male rats aged 5,6,8 and 9 weeks than in age-matched females.     

High Frequency Somatic Embryogenesis in Cotton

A highly reproducible system for efficient somatic embryogenesis was developed to regenerate plantlets from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars (Nazilli M-503 and Nazilli 143). Shoot apices, hypocotyls and nodes of 10-d-old seedlings were used as explants. High frequency (100 %) embryogenic calli was initiated from all tested explants on Murashige and Skoog (1962) (MS) media supplemented with 1 g dm^–3 polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), 1 mg dm^–3 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 0.5 mg dm^–3 kinetin for Nazilli M-503 and 1 g dm^–3 PVP, 2 mg dm^–3 BAP, 0.5 mg dm^–3 kinetin for Nazilli-143. Globular stage somatic embryos were produced 4 months after transfer to hormone-free MS medium supplemented with 1 g dm^–3 PVP. Subsequent subculture of globular embryos every 3 weeks on hormone-free MS medium led to the development of torpedo and cotyledonary stage embryos with the frequency of 75 and 83.2 % from hypocotyl explants of Nazilli M-503 and Nazilli-143, respectively. Afterwards, mature somatic embryos were isolated and cultured on hormone-free MS medium for germination and development into plantlets. The highest germination frequency (42.9 %) for Nazilli M-503 somatic embryos were obtained on hormone-free MS medium after 5 months with hypocotyl explants, whereas germination frequencies of Nazilli-143 embryos from hypocotyl, node and apex explants varied between 22 – 30 %.     

Frequency of twinning in southwest Nigeria

BACKGROUND:

In the human species, twin is a type of multiple birth in which the mother gives birth to two offspring from the same pregnancy. The occurrence and frequency of twinning, however, varies across human populations. The maternal age, socio-environmental factors, increase in the use of contraceptives, the race of human population, increase in the spontaneous abortion rate, and seasonal variations are among the factors that could influence twinning rate. Information on twinning rates in southwest Nigeria is limited.

AIMS:

This study presents information on the frequency of twinning, as well as its analysis by maternal age, in four urban settings in southwest Nigeria. This is with the aim of extending current knowledge on the frequency of twinning in southwest Nigeria and contributing to the demographic studies in the country.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Data on single births and twin births from January 1995 to December 2004 were collected from the Oyo State General Hospital (OSGH), Wesley Guild Hospital (WGH), Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), and Ekiti State Specialist Hospital (ESSH) in Ogbomoso, Ilesa, Ile-Ife, and Ado-Ekiti respectively. These were analyzed by year and maternal age groups of 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, and 45-49 years according to the standard method.

RESULTS:

A frequency of twin births of 46.5 per 1000 deliveries and 46.2 per 1000 deliveries was recorded for Ilesa and Ile-Ife respectively. The frequency recorded for Ogbomoso and Ado-Ekiti was 38.5 and 22.1 per 1000 deliveries respectively. The overall average frequency of 40.2 per 1000 deliveries for the four hospitals ranks among the highest recorded rates of twin births in the world. The maternal age group of 25-29 years had the highest occurrence of twin births, while the lowest was recorded in the 45-49 years age group.

CONCLUSION:

This analysis reveals high incidence of twinning in the studied areas and supports previous assertion that the southwestern part of Nigeria has the highest twinning rate in the country and in the whole world. It is our opinion that diet, maternal history of twinning, and some socio-environmental factors may have influenced the results.     

Frequency — dependent advantage in wheat

Summary The effect of frequency-dependent advantage in wheat was investigated by growing F₁. hybrid seeds of the crosses (Warimek X Halberd) and (Wariquam x Halberd) in a stand of Halberd at 5 frequencies: 4 %, 6.25 %, 11.11 %, 25 % and 50 %. A reduction of 35 % to 40 % in grain yield of individual plants was observed with both hybrids as their frequencies changed from 4% to 50 %. A similar trend with frequency was noted for several other plant characteristics, including total grain number, particularly with those measured towards the end of the growing season. Halberd plants did not show a corresponding increase as their frequency declined from 96 % to 50%. — The following season, 76 F₄ lines from the cross (Warimek X Halberd) and 70 F₄ lines from (Wariquam x Gabo) were grown at frequencies of 6.25% and 18.75% in machine sown stands of Wariquam and Halberd, respectively. Again grain yield decreased as genotypic frequency increased. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between frequency-dependent advantage and relative grain yield, suggesting that high yielding genotypes show a greater advantage at low frequencies than lower yielding ones.
