油菜花丝枯萎机理的探讨

油菜（Brassica napus L.)花丝的输水系统由螺纹以及少量的环纹导管和管胞组成,它们随花丝的伸长而被拉长直至拉断。统计结果显示, 花开放后,大量的导管和管胞被拉断。输水组织的断裂终止了连续水柱的形成,使水分运输的重要动力－蒸腾拉力和内聚力不能发挥作用,引起了花丝组织的供水足,在蒸腾失水不断加剧的外部因素的相互作用下,最终导致了花丝的枯萎。     

日本根霉IFO5318胞外β—葡萄糖苷酶的纯化及部分特性

采用硫酸铵沉淀及柱层析等步骤纯化了日本根霉IFO5318的β—葡萄糖苷酶,回收率为22％。该酶分子量约为4.0×10~5,由四个相同大小的亚基组成;最适反应温度55℃,最适反应pH5.5;对热较敏感,但能在较大的pH范围内保持稳定。用对硝基苯基—β-D-吡喃葡糖苷为底物,测得的K_m和V_(max)值分别为0.825mg·ml~(-1)和135.4μmol·min~(-1)·mg~(-1)。该酶对纤维二糖的水解能力最强,SDS、Fe~(3 )、Hg~2 )等对酶活力有抑制作用。

Expression of cytochrome P4502E1 in human liver: Relationship between genotype and phenotype in Chinese

Polymorphic cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) plays an important role in the metabolic activation of many carcinogens. We have previously shown that the c1/c1 genotype recognized byRsa I in the 5′-regulatory region of theCYP2E1 may be a susceptibility factor for developing esophageal cancer and lung cancer in Chinese. The present study was to investigate the relationship between theRsa I genotype and the expression of CYP2E1 in human livers. A total of 50 liver specimens were genotyped forCYP2E1 and assayed for CYP2E1 protein contents and functional activity by using specific antibody in immunoblot and a probe substrate,p-nitrophenol. A considerable interindividual variation in CYP2E1 protein (20-fold) and functional activity (56-fold) was observed among these liver samples. However, when they were categorized according to genotype, the mean content of CYP2E1 protein was significantly higher among individuals with the c1/c1 genotype than that among those having c1/c2 or c2/c2 genotype [124.0±83.9 pmol/mg (n = 28) versus 65.5 ±38.9 pmol/mg (n = 22),P<0.01]. The mean activity of CYP2E1 towardsp-nitrophenol for the c1/c1 genotype was also higher than that for the variant genotypes (198.4±27.8 pmol/min/mg versus 101.2 ±18.1 pmol^-1 · min^-1 · mg^-1,P<0.01). Also, the protein levels and functional activity showed a significant correlation (r = 0.68,P<0.01). These results demonstrate an association between theRsa I genotype and the phenotype of CYP2E1 in our samples, and the data are compatible with the assumption thatCYP2E1 c1/c1 genotype is a susceptibility factor for certain cancers in Chinese.     

短尾猴和猕猴在中国安徽省南部的分布

短尾猴(Macaca thibetana)和猕猴(Macaca mulatta)在安徽省的分布见于长江以南,短尾猴限于海拔600-1500米的山地,而猕猴则从平地一直分布到没有短尾猴占据的较高山地。短尾猴所选择的栖息地海拔高度较高,并决定于是否有悬崖和常绿阔叶林。两种猴的分布区,都因人类的严重干扰而缩小。但是,如果其栖息地得到很好的保护,它的种群密度可以接近黄山的水平。两种猴之间的分布界限也反映了它们生态关系的一般形式。     

共聚焦激光扫描显微镜活体观察动脉粥样硬化家兔模型大脑皮质血管内血液缘流厚度的改变

目的:探讨在兔脑皮层动脉粥样硬化时血管内缘流厚度的变化。方法:用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜比较家兔脑皮质动脉内缘流厚度在正常、粥样硬化病理状态下的不同。结果:在血管直径为74.87±3.26μm的血管中血液缘流厚度在病理状态下随血管的舒张、收缩而发生改变;而在血管直径为94.33±2.84μm的缘流厚度在血管收缩时发生改变。结论:动脉粥样硬化的家兔模型中血液缘流厚度随血液的流变性质改变而改变。     

以单细胞免疫荧光技术观察烟草细胞融合过程中微管骨架的变化

本文建立了单细胞免疫荧光标记技术并以此结合单对细胞融合技术对细胞融合过程中微管骨架组织形式的动态变化进行了追踪观察。发现在聚乙二醇（PEG）诱导条件下,一旦细胞开始粘连,细胞内微管骨架便开始解聚。在细胞融合的整个过程中一直维持着这种解聚的状态,直到融合完成,在后续的培养中微管骨架才重新出现。在微管骨架呈解聚状态时融合产物不能完成与另外的细胞融合。实验揭示了细胞的再融合能力可能受细胞本身微管骨架状态的影响。该结果为解释高等植物如何避免多精入卵提供了新的可能性。
