As of 2009, the number of donors in Japan is the lowest among developed countries. On July 13, 2009, Japan's Organ Transplant Law was revised for the first time in 12 years. The revised and old laws differ greatly on four primary points: the definition of death, age requirements for donors, requirements for brain‐death determination and organ extraction, and the appropriateness of priority transplants for relatives. In the four months of deliberations in the National Diet before the new law was established, various arguments regarding brain death and organ transplantation were offered. An amazing variety of opinions continue to be offered, even after more than 40 years have elapsed since the first heart organ transplant in Japan. Some are of the opinion that with the passage of the revised law, Japan will finally become capable of performing transplants according to global standards. Contrarily, there are assertions that organ transplants from brain‐dead donors are unacceptable because they result in organs being taken from living human beings. Considering the current conditions, we will organize and introduce the arguments for and against organ transplants from brain‐dead donors in contemporary Japan. Subsequently, we will discuss the primary arguments against organ transplants from brain‐dead donors from the perspective of contemporary Japanese views on life and death. After introducing the recent view that brain death should not be regarded as equivalent to the death of a human being, we would like to probe the deeply‐rooted views on life and death upon which it is based. 相似文献

We analyzed the spatial distributions of two congeneric tree species, Neolistea aciculata and Neolistea sericea (Lauraceae), in a warm‐temperate forest on Miyajima Island, south‐western Japan. Both species were mainly found in valley sites on the island. Hence, these species shared the same topographic habitat niche. However, we found a clear difference between the spatial distributions of the two species in relation to the light environment. Neolistea aciculata was predominantly found in stands with low light, such as beneath the canopy of dense evergreen broadleaved forest. In contrast, N. sericea was predominantly associated with ample light, such as in secondary Pinus densiflora forest. In stands with moderate light conditions, both species were found. This habitat niche segregation in relation to light conditions presumably allows the coexistence of these two species in the predominantly successional forest on Miyajima Island. 相似文献

We developed 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci for the Japanese paper wasp Polistes rothneyi using the magnetic particle method. Eight of the 10 loci tested were highly polymorphic, having four to eight alleles in P. rothneyi with an expected heterozygosity of 0.60–0.75. They also appeared to be applicable to other related species such as Polistes jokahamae. These loci can be used to study parameters concerning genetic relatedness such as worker reproduction and kin structure. 相似文献

Bot. 38: 711722. Pectic polysaccharides were extracted from the starch-free cellwall preparation of cell suspension cultures of Marchantia polymorpha.The polysaccharides were fractionated by DEAE-Sephadex A-50ion-exchange chromatography yielding the five fractions, andthe degree of polymerization and glycosyl composition determinedfor each fraction. The neutral rich and acidic pectic polymerswere depolymerized by purified endoglucanase (l,4-ß-D-glucan4-glucanohydrolase, E.C. 3.2.1.4
[EC]
.) and endopolygalacturonase(poly-l,4--Dgalacturonide glycanohydrolase, E.C. 3.2.1.15
[EC]
),respectively. The degraded pectic fractions were fractionatedby gel filtration chromatography on Bio-Gel A-5m and Bio-GelP-2, and glycosyl composition determined for each fraction.The results indicate that pectic polysaccharides contain glucose-richpolymer, rhamnogalacturonan and homogalacturonan in a ratioof 1:4:06. In addition, pectic polysaccharides were releasedas five pectic fragments from the cell walls by purified endopectatelyase (poly-l,4--D-galacturonide lyase, E.C. 4.2.2.2

The society finch, a little passerin, was purposed to be utilized in embryological studies. Under control of the breeding cycle in 20 pairs, 4 to 6 eggs were used to be laid daily for several repeating week in a year. Average incubation time was 17 days in contrast to 21 in the domestic fowl. The eggs weighed 1.1 g in average and expected smallness of the embryo was regarded as favorable for morphological studies including the scanning electron microscopy. We present the first report of the complete development of the society finch. A number of embryological characteristics are described with special reference to the peculiarity of the altricial finch as compared with the precocial domestic fowl. 相似文献

In Polistes paper wasps, haploid early males can mate with early emerging females and leave viable offspring. In contrast, diploid early males are eventually sterile because they contribute triploid offspring via diploid sperm. Clarifying the ploidy of early males is important for determining whether early male production is a reproductive strategy for the species. We examined the mating behavior and the ploidy of early males in the Japanese paper wasp, Polistes rothneyi iwatai van der Vecht. Thirteen early males from four colonies were all diploid. Two of the nine early males (22.2%) attempted to mate with females, but only one individual (11.1%) was successful (the female's spermatheca contained spermatozoa). These results suggest that although most early males of P. rothneyi iwatai do not produce offspring, their mating may be linked to the occasional production of triploid females. 相似文献

In the physiologically polyspermic eggs of the newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster, a number of accessory sperm undergo pronuclear formation along with a concomitant DNA synthesis, but degenerate after zygote nucleus formation. When denuded eggs were divided into two halves at various post-fertilization stages, the andromerogons produced before zygote nucleus formation but not after that stage cleaved at a high frequency. The accessory sperm were unable to participate in the cleavage when they were located in the half of the egg which was connected with the diploid merogon by a cytoplasmic bridge higher than 100 μm in height. The removal of the egg nucleus or the retardation of early post-fertilization nuclear events by treatment with cycloheximide resulted in the induction of multipolar cleavage. Continuous exposure of the fertilized eggs to aphidicolin showed that in the appreciable absence of the DNA synthesis many eggs underwent a first cleavage cytokinesis of a mostly abortive type, but failed to initiate the following cytokinesis at all. Cytological examinations in association with these experiments suggest that the observed suppression of accessory sperm includes the inhibition of centriolar replication under the influence of the zygote nucleus, resulting in the failure of cytasters corporating with nuclear-independent activity of cortical cytoplasm. 相似文献

跨肌浆网膜的钙离子ATP酶SERCA1a可在水解ATP的同时逆浓度梯度从胞浆转运钙离子入肌浆网,引发收缩的骨骼肌细胞舒张.目前对SERCA1a结构与功能的研究,要领先于对其他P型离子转运ATP酶的研究.为了解SERCA1a跨膜螺旋M7与M8膜内侧连接部Linker78(L78)的功能,我们评估了L78部分氨基酸残基突变对SERCA1a反应循环的影响,发现:除G864A之外的所有突变体均可不同程度地降低钙离子转运速率;G862或P863氨基酸残基的突变导致SERCA1a的ATP酶活性显著降低或丧失,并引起由ATP或无机磷酸Pi生成的磷酸化酶中间体EP量显著减少;A893被P取代对SERCA1a的影响与G862、P863突变相似;与野生型SERCA1a相比,G864A与FMQ873-875单突变体ATP酶活性及EP生成量无明显差别.上述结果表明,M7、M8膜内侧连接部L78不仅与跨膜区钙离子转运过程密切相关,而且L78在GPG862-864处及A893附近的正确转折对胞浆结构域P的磷酸化也具有关键的远距离调控作用,提示L78的结构及柔度对SERCA1a构象正常的周期性变化至关重要. 相似文献
