植物种群表观竞争机制及其研究进展

植物表观竞争既影响群落结构和组成,也与生态系统功能密切相关。目前,国内尚缺乏对植物表观竞争的实验研究和机制探索。对植物表观竞争概念和研究进展进行了系统梳理和阶段性总结,分析了草食动物为媒介的表观竞争主要通过食物和生境介导植物竞争过程,以及ELP-采食者关系对表观竞争的影响;植物参与的表观竞争通常与资源竞争共同作用;AM真菌为媒介的表观竞争不仅受到宿主植物菌根依赖性的影响,还与AM真菌对资源的需求和环境资源供给状况有密切关系。未来研究既要注重实验设计的合理性,也要考虑测定方法和评价参数的有效性;重视植物群落和生态系统水平上表观竞争的功能研究。这不仅能够为植物群落结构和物种共存提供机制性解释,而且能够丰富经典的植物竞争理论和多营养级相互作用的食物网理论。     

“In situ” translation: Use of the cytoskeletal framework to direct cell-free protein synthesis

Summary We have developed a novel, “in situ” translation system derived from cultured cells that are subject to mild detergent extraction. By using a low concentration of nonionic detergent to gently permeabilize cells while they remain adherent to a substrate, cytoskeletal frameworks are obtained that are devoid of membraneous barriers yet retain much the same topological arrangement of mRNA, ribosomes and cytostructure that exists “in vivo”. Data indicate that when these cytoskeletal frameworks are supported by a ribosome-depleted, nuclease-treated, reticulocyte lysate supernatant, they are capable of resuming translation of their attached polysomes for at least 40 minutes. Emulsion autoradiography of ongoing protein synthesis demonstrates that protein synthetic activity is ubiquitous throughout the population of extracted cells, and not confined to a less well-extracted subset. Computer-assisted, two-dimensional gel analysis reveals that the pattern of proteins produced by such extracted cells is approximately 70% coincident with that produced by unextracted cells, including proteins of molecular weight as great as 200 kilodaltons. Furthermore, a continued increase in intensity of almost all proteins during the first 40 minutes of translation suggests that translational re-initiation, in addition to polysome run-off, is also taking place. Collectively, these findings indicate that much of the translational machinery remains both intact and competant in this cytoskeletal-based translation system. As such, this system should prove extremely useful in identifying molecular factors operant during certain types of translation control and in further examining the role played by the cytoskeleton in regulating gene expression.

甲亢甲低患者肝纤维化指标检测的临床意义分析

目的：探讨甲状腺功能亢进（甲亢）、甲状腺功能减低（甲低）与肝纤维化指标的关系及其可能的机制。方法：采用放射免疫分析法（R1A）检测57例甲亢患者、43例甲低患者、39例甲亢治疗后甲状腺激素正常者和50例健康成人的血清Ⅳ型胶原（1V-C）、Ⅲ型前胶原（PCⅢ）、透明质酸（HA）、层粘连蛋白（LN）、T3、T4、FT3、FT4、TSH、TGA、TMA含量。结果：甲亢患者组血清中1V-C、PCⅢ含量比正常对照组及甲低患者组显著性增高（P〈0.05）;治疗后甲状腺激素下降,1V-C、PCⅢ含量也随之下降（与治疗前比较P〈0.01）;HA、LN在四组中无显著性差异（P〉0.05）,在甲亢治疗前后无显著性差异（P〉0.05）。各项肝纤维化指标与TGA、TMA的阳性率无关。结论：甲亢患者可有不同程度的肝功能损害,血清中甲状腺激素水平增高时,1V-C、PCⅢ水平也增高,在用1V-C、PCⅢ判断肝纤维化时应注意有无甲状腺疾病特别是甲亢。未发现HA、LN含量与甲状腺激素水平的关系。

氦氧饱和高气压暴露对铜绿假单胞菌毒力表型的诱导调节

研究氦氧饱和高气压暴露对铜绿假单胞菌与急性侵袭感染相关的主要毒力因子表型的影响。分别检测暴露前后铜绿假单胞菌的生长速度、运动能力,对乙酰胺的分解能力和培养细胞外液中绿脓菌素、弹性蛋白酶的分泌水平和活性。在动物水平验证毒力的变化。结果显示,经4.5 MPa氦氧饱和加压暴露后,与对照组相比铜绿假单胞菌的生长增殖、运动能力和对乙酰胺的分解能力增强,绿脓菌素分泌增加,弹性蛋白酶活性增强;暴露后细菌对实验小鼠的毒性增加。因此氦氧饱和高气压环境对铜绿假单胞菌的毒力表型有正调控作用。
