新疆罂粟属高山罂粟组分类研究

我国有罂粟属植物12种,新疆有10种,其中6种属于高山罂粟组。对新疆高山罂粟组植物的花葶进行了解剖研究,并用扫描电镜观察了花粉形态,结果表明,花葶中维管束的数量及排列方式在各种间存在着差异,可以作为一个鉴定特征。花粉上的小刺密度在放大12000倍时,在有种间存在着明显差异,可分类提供微观佐证。     

达尔文把人类回归到自然界（1）——纪念达尔文《物种起源》出版150周年

1859年,达尔文的著作《物种起源》改变了人们对自己的看法：在1859年以前,人是上帝创造的产物：在1859年以后,人是自然选择的产物。而达尔文主张人是自然界的一部分。而不是在自然之外。他和T·H赫胥黎提出,人和大猿特别是非洲猿有近密的亲缘关系。E·海克尔甚至画出了包括某些似猿的人类祖先的系统树。然而,在20世纪,许多人类学家还是相信,人是独特的,是一种全新的生物。他们要寻找人类进化的特殊类型的解释。他们提出,脑必定引领着进化的方向,认为人和现代非洲猿之间的相似性是平行进化所造成的。后来,分子生物学的和化石的证据证实了达尔文原先的观点。今天,达尔文的理论对人类社会生活仍然具有重大意义。     

人胃粘膜G、D细胞与肠化生关系的研究

用免疫细胞化学和原位杂交技术探讨G、D细胞及胃泌素mRNA与肠化生的关系。标本来自胃镜活检的胃粘膜。结果显示,在与大肠化生区相邻的胃粘膜,G细胞突变消失,假幽门腺化生也缺乏G细胞,而淖肠化生仍保留少数G细胞;D细胞不仅见于小肠化生,而且也出现在假幽门腺化生以及某些大肠化生区。胃泌素mRNA仅限于G细胞分布区,未出现在大肠化生区和假幽门腺化生区,G细胞及胃泌素mRNA在大肠化生区的消失,可能由于局部杯状细胞分泌的硫酸粘蛋白改变了局部的微环境,从而影响了G细胞的分化与发育,至于假幽门腺化生区G细胞及胃泌素mRNA消失的原因还不清楚,应继续研究。     

Fluorescent labeling for clonal selection of Marc 145 cells secreting high levels of recombinant protein PBD-1

Despite the powerful impact gene expression markers like the green fluorescent protein (GFP) or enhanced GFP (EGFP) exert on linking the expression of recombinant protein for selection of high producers in recent years, there is still a strong incentive to develop more economical and efficient methods for isolating mammalian cell clones secreting high levels of recombinant proteins. Here we present a new method based on the co-expression of EGFP that allows clonal selection in standard 96-well cell culture plates. The genes encoding the EGFP protein and the related protein are linked by an internal ribosome entry site and thus are transcribed into the same mRNA in an independent translation process. Since both proteins arise from a common mRNA, the EGFP expression level correlates with the expression level of the therapeutic protein in each clone. By expressing recombinant porcine β-defensin 1 in Marc 145 cells, we demonstrate the robustness and performance of this technique. The method can be served as an alternative to identify high-producer clones with various cell sorting methods.

Tissue-engineered mesh for pelvic floor reconstruction fabricated from silk fibroin scaffold with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells

A tissue-engineered mesh fabricated with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) cultured on a silk fibroin scaffold is evaluated for use in female pelvic reconstruction. Thirty-five female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups. Group A (n?=?10) were implanted with polypropylene meshes, Group B (n?=?10) with silk fibroin scaffolds and Group C (n?=?10) with tissue-engineered meshes. Group D (n?=?5) acted as the tissue control. The tissue-engineered mesh was produced as follows. AD-MSCs were obtained from adipose tissue of rats designated to Group C. The cells were seeded onto a silk fibroin scaffold, cultured and then observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Histological studies of these meshes were performed at 4 and 12 weeks after implantation and mechanical testing was carried out on all groups before implantation and at 12 weeks after implantation. AD-MSCs displayed fibroblast-like shapes and were able to differentiate into adipocytes or fibroblasts. SEM observation showed that AD-MSCs proliferated and secreted a matrix onto the silk fibroin scaffolds. After implantation of the scaffolds into rats, histological analysis revealed better organized newly formed tissue in Group C than in controls. Group C also had a similar failure force (2.67?±?0.15 vs 2.33?±?0.38 N) and a higher Young’s modulus (2.99?±?0.19 vs 1.68?±?0.20 MPa) than a normal vaginal wall, indicating the potential of this tissue-engineered approach. AD-MSCs were validated as seed cells for tissue engineering. The silk fibroin scaffold thus shows promise for application with AD-MSCs in the fabrication of tissue-engineered mesh with good biocompatibility and appropriate mechanical properties for pelvic floor reconstruction.
