MBL与Int I对铜绿假单胞菌耐药作用的研究

整合子和金属β-内酰胺酶（MBL）使铜绿假单胞菌的耐药机制更加复杂,给临床的抗感染治疗带来了较大的困难。I类整合子（IntI）的结构与其在铜绿假单胞菌四类金属酶的耐药基因中的传播作用是临床关注的问题之一。     

Changes of intracellular Na+ concentration in erythrocytes caused by pulsed electrical field

Changes of sodium ionic concentration of human erythrocytes applied to pulsed electrical field (PEF) were studied by using shift reagent and NMR spectroscopy. The results show that the concentration of intracellular Na⁺ increases with the increasing intensity of PEF when the erythrocytes are applied to PEF with higher intensities. The relationship between intracellular Na concentrations and the intensities of PEF does not follow linear or exponen-tial behavior. As the intensities increase, the intracellular Na⁺concentrations increase even faster by an exponential curve. However under effects of PEF at lower intensities, intracellular Na⁺ concentration decreases. Ouabain can in-hibit the decrease of intracellular Na concentration, and the inhibition increases with the increasing concentration of ouabain, suggesting that Na⁺ , K⁺ -ATPase on cell membrane can be activated by PEF at lower intensities. Direct measurement of activities of the enzyme by using Malachite green method has confirmed this observation. Cell perme-abilities to ions, activation of enzymes by electrical fields and transmission of physical signals like PEF across cell mem-branes are discussed.

骨髓造血干细胞龛

造血干细胞（hematopoietic stem cell,HSC）位于骨髓的造血微环境即龛（niche）中,它们与龛内特定的细胞相互作用以调节其自我更新和定向分化。研究发现,骨髓中的成骨细胞和内皮细胞与造血干细胞关系密切,分别构成了HSC龛中的成骨龛和血管龛,其中成骨龛维持静态的HSC微环境,而血管龛调控HSC的增殖、分化和动员等行为。对骨髓HSC龛的研究为将来临床治疗血液系统相关疾病提供了新的思路。

Mitosis and microtubule organizational changes in rice root-tip cells

The pattern of change of the microtubule cytoskeleton of the root-tip cells of rice during mitosis was studied using immunofluorescence technic and confocal laser scanning microscopy. All the major stages of ceil division including preprophase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase were observed. The most significant finding was that in the preprophase cells microtubules radiating from the nuclear surface to the cortex were frequently seen. During development these microtubules became closely associated with the preprophase band and prophase spindie indicating that the microtubules radiating from the nuclear surface, the preprophase band and the prophazc spindle were structurally and functionally closely related to each other. Granule-like anchorage sites for the radiating microtubules at the muclear surface were often seen and the possibility that these gramle-like anchorage sites might represent the microtubule organizing centres was discussed.

生长因子Progranulin的结合受体和生物学功能

生长因子颗粒素蛋白前体（progranulin, PGRN）广泛存在于动物和植物组织中.研究证明,哺乳动物的PGRN是一个多功能分子,在组织/器官发育、细胞分化、肿瘤发生发展、炎症应答以及神经退行性疾病中均具有重要的作用.PGRN发挥生物学功能需要和多种结合蛋白相互结合,例如sortilin、Toll样受体9（TLR9）、肿瘤坏死因子受体（TNFR）及分泌性淋巴细胞蛋白酶抑制因子（SLPI）等. 本文将对PGRN的结合受体和生物学功能进行综述.     

养只仓鼠当宠物？!

仓鼠,1829年于西伯利亚附近一个城市被发现,属于啮齿类,学名Rodentia,出自拉丁文的"咬",意思是牙齿不断生长而需要不停磨牙。它们的寿命很短,平均2年左右,4个月大的仓鼠已经成年。当然不同品种的仓鼠寿命的长短也有少许不同。它们与老鼠不同,只有一条很短的尾巴,甚至没有。除了中国仓鼠的尾巴比较长,其他品种的仓鼠也只有少于一厘米的尾巴。仓鼠最有趣之处是懂得把食物藏在腮两边,在安全的地方才吐出,所以有人称仓鼠为大颊鼠。而仓鼠这个名字的由来就是来自德文hamstern,意思是贮藏。
