The ground polluted with oil products was analyzed at a depth of 0.5–7.8 m (loamy soil), 11.5–13.0 m (gravelstone), 13.0–15.0 m (siltstone). It was shown that the distribution of oil products and microorganisms in the ground over the profile depends on the hydrogeological properties of the rock (porosity, hydraulic conductivity). The number of aerobic heterotrophic microorganisms varied from 106–107 CFU/g, the fraction of hydrocarbon-oxidizing ones increased with depth from 30 to 85%. The number of anaerobic microorganisms was comparable to the number of aerobic ones. The number of psychrotrophs and psychrophiles increases with depth; in the lower horizon these organisms prevail over the number of mesophiles. 相似文献

A microsatellite-based consensus linkage map for species of Eucalyptus and a novel set of 230 microsatellite markers for the genus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Background
Eucalypts are the most widely planted hardwood trees in the world occupying globally more than 18 million hectares as an important source of carbon neutral renewable energy and raw material for pulp, paper and solid wood. Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) in Eucalyptus have been localized on pedigree-specific RAPD or AFLP maps seriously limiting the value of such QTL mapping efforts for molecular breeding. The availability of a genus-wide genetic map with transferable microsatellite markers has become a must for the effective advancement of genomic undertakings. This report describes the development of a novel set of 230 EMBRA microsatellites, the construction of the first comprehensive microsatellite-based consensus linkage map for Eucalyptus and the consolidation of existing linkage information for other microsatellites and candidate genes mapped in other species of the genus. 相似文献3.

Comparative analysis of the zeta-crystallin/quinone reductase gene in guinea pig and mouse 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

zeta-Crystallin is a novel nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
phosphate:quinone reductase, present at enzymatic levels in various tissues
of different species, which is highly expressed in the lens of some
hystricomorph rodents and camelids. We report here the complementary DNA
(cDNA) cloning of zeta-crystallin from liver libraries in guinea pig (Cavia
porcellus), where zeta-crystallin is highly expressed in the lens, and in
the laboratory mouse (Mus musculus), where expression in the lens occurs
only at enzymatic levels. A 5' untranslated sequence different from the one
previously reported for the guinea pig lens cDNA was found in these clones.
We also report the isolation of genomic clones including the complete
guinea pig zeta-crystallin gene and the 5' region of this gene in mouse.
These results show the presence of two promoters in the guinea pig
zeta-crystallin gene, one responsible for expression at enzymatic levels
and the other responsible for the high expression in the lens. The guinea
pig lens promoter is not present in the mouse gene. This is the first
example in which the recruitment of an enzyme as a lens crystallin can be
explained by the acquisition of an alternative lens- specific promoter.

Background
Flexible video bronchoscopes, in particular the Olympus BF Type 3C160, are commonly used in pediatric respiratory medicine. There is no data on the magnification and distortion effects of these bronchoscopes yet important clinical decisions are made from the images. The aim of this study was to systematically describe the magnification and distortion of flexible bronchoscope images taken at various distances from the object.Methods
Using images of known objects and processing these by digital video and computer programs both magnification and distortion scales were derived.Results
Magnification changes as a linear function between 100 mm (×1) and 10 mm (×9.55) and then as an exponential function between 10 mm and 3 mm (×40) from the object. Magnification depends on the axis of orientation of the object to the optic axis or geometrical axis of the bronchoscope. Magnification also varies across the field of view with the central magnification being 39% greater than at the periphery of the field of view at 15 mm from the object. However, in the paediatric situation the diameter of the orifices is usually less than 10 mm and thus this limits the exposure to these peripheral limits of magnification reduction. Intraclass correlations for measurements and repeatability studies between instruments are very high, r = 0.96. Distortion occurs as both barrel and geometric types but both types are heterogeneous across the field of view. Distortion of geometric type ranges up to 30% at 3 mm from the object but may be as low as 5% depending on the position of the object in relation to the optic axis.Conclusion
We conclude that the optimal working distance range is between 40 and 10 mm from the object. However the clinician should be cognisant of both variations in magnification and distortion in clinical judgements. 相似文献7.

Background
The objective of this study was to evaluate angiogenesis according to CD34 antigen expression in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and negative breast carcinomas.Methods
This study comprised 64 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma in postmenopausal women divided into two groups: Group A: ER-positive, n = 35; and Group B: ER-negative, n = 29. The anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody was used as a marker for endothelial cells. Microvessel count was carried out in 10 fields per slide using a 40× objective lens (magnification 400×). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using Student's t-test (p < 0.05).Results
The mean number of vessels stained with the anti-CD34 antibody in the estrogen receptor-positive and negative tumors was 23.51 ± 1.15 and 40.24 ± 0.42, respectively. The number of microvessels was significantly greater in the estrogen receptor-negative tumors (p < 0.001).Conclusion
ER-negative tumors have significantly greater CD34 antigen expression compared to ER-positive tumors.8.
Evidence for independent recruitment of zeta-crystallin/quinone reductase (CRYZ) as a crystallin in camelids and hystricomorph rodents 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Zeta-crystallin/quinone reductase (CRYZ) is an NADPH oxidoreductase
expressed at very high levels in the lenses of two groups of mammals:
camelids and some hystricomorph rodents. It is also expressed at very low
levels in all other species tested. Comparative analysis of the mechanisms
mediating the high expression of this enzyme/crystallin in the lens of the
Ilama (Lama guanacoe) and the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) provided
evidence for independent recruitment of this enzyme as a lens crystallin in
both species and allowed us to elucidate for the first time the mechanism
of lens recruitment of an enzyme- crystallin. The data presented here show
that in both species such recruitment most likely occurred through the
generation of new lens promoters from nonfunctional intron sequences by the
accumulation of point mutations and/or small deletions and insertions.
These results further support the idea that recruitment of CRYZ resulted
from an adaptive process in which the high expression of CRYZ in the lens
provides some selective advantage rather than from a purely neutral
evolutionary process.

To elucidate the role of the protocerebral bridge (PB) of the brain central complex of Drosophila melanogaster in control of courtship behavior and singing, a comparative study have been performed of characteristics of courtship behavior and parameters of male sound signals in wild type flies (Canton S) and in flies from 3 mutant strains having anatomical defects in the PB: oc
1 (the PB is absent), nob
KS49 (the midline PB glomeruli 1–3 are missing), and cex
KS181 (tangential input fibers to the PB are evidently missing or reduced). It has been shown that the PB is involved in control of the accuracy of movements of males during courtship to a female and in control of the form and stability of sound elements forming the courtship songs. The rhythmic structure of the courtship songs, which is determined by the stability of the pacemaker activity, is controlled by other central complex substructures. Thus, the nervous circuits determining the form of sound elements and the rhythm of their repetition are separated and are under control of different brain centers. Since the distortions of sound signals in mutants are temporary, it is concluded that the thoracic song center contains all necessary elements for generation of normal courtship signals, whereas the brain centers produce only modulating influences on their parameters in correspondence with the context of the external situation. 相似文献
