To investigate the relationship between central respiratory pauses and heart rate, we performed polygraphic recordings in 23 normal newborns (35 to 41 weeks conceptional age). We monitored the electroencephalogram, rapid eye movements, movements of the upper and lower limbs, chin and diaphragmatic electromyogram, electrocardiogram, thoracic and abdominal respiratory movements, air flow and transcutaneous PO2. Heart rate changes were analysed by computer measurement of R-R intervals and by cardiotachography. Respiratory pauses occurring after body movements and those not preceded by movements were studied separately. We analysed 1128 respiratory pauses greater than 3 s duration. No respiratory pause lasted more than 12 s. Independently of age, sleep state and respiratory pause duration, heart rate was significantly lower at the onset of respiratory pause, compared to control periods (selected away from the pause: 10 s before its onset and 20 s after its end). Heart rate slowed still further through the respiratory pause and reverted toward the baseline level after its end. When no movements preceded the respiratory pause, heart rate just before the pause was lower compared to control periods. These findings suggest the existence of simultaneous central commands responsible for both respiratory pause and heart rate deceleration. 相似文献

The effect of lincocin (a plastid protein synthesis inhibitor) treatment on the greening process of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) leaves have been studied. In comparison with control leaves treated ones had a decreased rate of chloroplast development. They had a marked chlorophyll deficiency and a decreased chlorophyll a/b ratio. Some long and short wavelength forms of chlorophyll a were lacking as evidenced from the absorption spectra at 25°C and the fluorescence spectra at 77°K. The –14CO2 fixation was inhibited by 80–90% in treated leaves. The fluorescence induced by the measuring light was greater in the treated leaves than in the control ones, and the kinetics of the decline of the relative fluorescence intensity were also different. Electron microscopic studies showed macrogranum-like structures and incomplete membrane vesicles in the treated plastids. After longer treatment a destruction of membranes was observed. The results indicate some structural and functional membrane deficiencies and instability of the membranes. 相似文献

The expression of the acetyl xylan esterase II (axeII) gene from Penicillium purpurogenum is repressed by glucose and induced by xylan, as well as to a small degree by xylose and xylitol. This gene is expressed at neutral pH, but not under alkaline or acidic conditions, in agreement with previous findings for other xylanolytic genes of this organism. This is the first report showing pH regulation of an axe gene. 相似文献

Sleep in brain development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
With the discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, sleep was no longer considered a homogeneous state of passive rest for the brain. On the contrary, sleep, and especially REM sleep, appeared as an active condition of intense cerebral activity. The fact that we get large amounts of sleep in early life suggested that sleep may play a role in brain maturation. This idea has been investigated for many years through a large number of animal and human studies, but evidence remains fragmented. The hypothesis proposed was that REM sleep would provide an endogenous source of activation, possibly critical for structural maturation of the central nervous system. This proposal led to a series of experiments looking at the role of REM sleep in brain development. In particular, the influence of sleep in developing the visual system has been highlighted. More recently, non-REM (NREM) sleep state has become a major focus of attention. The current data underscore the importance of both REM sleep and NREM sleep states in normal synaptic development and lend support to their functional roles in brain maturation. Both sleep states appear to be important for neuronal development, but the corresponding contribution is likely to be different. 相似文献

A total of 296 Shigella spp. were received from State Public Health Laboratories, during the period from 1999 to 2004, by National Reference Laboratory for Cholera and Enteric Diseases (NRLCED)--IOC/Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The frequency of Shigella spp. was: S. flexneri (52.7%), S. sonnei (44.2%), S. boydii (2.3%), and S. dysenteriae (0.6%). The most frequent S. flexneri serovars were 2a and 1b. The highest incidence rates of Shigella isolation were observed in the Southeast (39%) and Northeast (34%) regions and the lowest rate in the South (3%) of Brazil. Strains were further analyzed for antimicrobial susceptibility by disk diffusion method as part of a surveillance program on antimicrobial resistance. The highest rates of antimicrobial resistance were to trimethoprim-sulfamethozaxole (90%), tetracycline (88%), ampicillin (56%), and chloramphenicol (35%). The patterns of antimicrobial resistance among Shigella isolates pose a major difficulty in the determination of an appropriate drug for shigellosis treatment. Continuous monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibilities of Shigella spp. through a surveillance system is thus essential for effective therapy and control measures against shigellosis. 相似文献

Biomass, carbonate standing stock and production of the mediterranean coralCladocora caespitosa (L.) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The Mediterranean coralCladocora caespitosa often occurs in large beds, i.e. populations of hemispherical clonies with stock densities varying between 1.9 and 4 coloneis
·m−2. Laboratory measurements of volume, skeleton weight, surface and number of corallites per colony, coupled with mean annual
growth rates evaluated through sclerochronology, allowed for the estimation of biomass, skeleton bulk density, calcimass (carbonate
standing stock) and secondary production (both organic and inorganic) of twoC. caespitosa beds at 4 and 9 m depth. The mean colony biomass varied between 0.73 and 0.99 kg dw ·m−2, corresponding to a calcimass between 2 and 5 kg CaCO3·m−2. Organic secondary production was 215.5–305.4 g dw of polyps ·m−2·y−1, while the potential (mineral) production was 1.1–1.7 kg CaCO3·m−2·y−1, for the year 1996–1997.
These values show thatC. caespitosa is one of the major carbonate producers within the Mediterranean and one of the major epibenthic species originating stable
carbonate frameworks both in recent and past times. 相似文献

Monthly skeletal growth of the scleractinian, temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa (L.) from the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean) was analysed for a period of 1 year and compared with seawater parameters.
Measurements on corallite sections and on X-ray images showed that the formation of the high-density (HD) band and two dissepiments
are favoured by fall–winter conditions, characterised by high quantities of rain, rough seas, and cold seawater. In summer,
when the low-density (LD) band is formed, the corallites stretch upward and form one new dissepiment and one deep calix, where
the polyps recede almost completely in August. These findings confirmed the adaptation of the temperate coral to winter environmental
conditions, characterised by low irradiance and high availability of nutrients and food particles resuspended from bottom
sediments. On the contrary, the high seawater temperature, irradiance, and ammonia contents stressed the coral in August and,
when they persist in September, may cause the onset of mortality events. 相似文献

First survey of sessile communities on subtidal rocks in an area with hydrothermal vents: Milos Island,Aegean Sea 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The major epibenthic communities on subtidal rocks of Palaeochori Bay and the marine tract on the southern coast of Milos Island (Greece) were described down to 44 m depth. Six sites were investigated by snorkelling and SCUBA diving. Samples, photographs and video images were also taken to integrate information. Three out of the six sites were close to hydrothermal vents, a common feature in the area. In total, nine major epibenthic communities were found, most of which were characterised by a diverse algal growth down to the maximum depth explored. Macrobenthic cover was severely reduced only in the close proximity of vents, a white flocculent bacterial mat covering the rock at the point from which fluid escaped. Large-scale effects of vents on the epibenthic communities were not detected. However, the abundance of species with warm-water affinity was recognisable in both algal and animal dominated communities, which may be related to higher winter temperature in the vent area. Epifaunal communities under overhangs were composed of distinct groups of suspension feeders at vent as compared to non-vent sites: this might indicate differences in trophic conditions. Mounds of the bioconstructional coralline alga Mesophyllum lichenoides were conspicuous only at vent sites, thus suggesting enhanced biodeposition of carbonates due to vent activity. 相似文献
