水分胁迫对小麦光系统Ⅱ的影响

水分胁迫可降低小麦叶绿体的室温荧光产量和Ｍｇ２＋ 在两个光系统间的调节能力、叶片的可变荧光产量、可变荧光猝灭速率以及荧光上升互补面积,表明光系统Ⅱ受到了伤害。光系统Ⅱ氧化侧的人工电子供体ＤＰＣ能部分恢复受到抑制的叶绿体可变荧光,说明水分胁迫对光系统Ⅱ的损伤部位不仅位于氧化侧,也可能在反应中心上     

Isolation and Refined Regional Mapping of Expressed Sequences from Human Chromosome 21

To increase candidate genes from human chromosome 21 for the analysis of Down syndrome and other genetic diseases localized on this chromosome, we have isolated and studied 9 cDNA clones encoded by chromosome 21. For isolating cDNAs, single-copy microclones from a chromosome 21 microdissection library were used in direct screening of various cDNA libraries. Seven of the cDNA clones have been regionally mapped on chromosome 21 using a comprehensive hybrid mapping panel comprising 24 cell hybrids that divide the chromosome into 33 subregions. These cDNA clones with refined mapping positions should be useful for identification and cloning of genes responsible for the specific component phenotypes of Down syndrome and other diseases on chromosome 21, including progressive myoclonus epilepsy in 21q22.3.     

胎盘型谷胱甘肽S－转移酶基因在胃癌中的表达

用Ｄｉｇ－ＧＳＴ－πｃＤＮＡ探针分子杂交方法,检测了正常胃组织,胃癌及相应癌旁正常组织中ＧＳＴ－πＤＮＡ和ＧＳＴ－πＲＮＡ水平,发现ＧＳＴ－πＤＮＡ水平没有明显变化,而ＧＳＴ－πＲＮＡ在８例胃癌组织中有６例高于正常胃组织,在１２例低分化腺癌中有７例癌旁正常组织高于相应癌组织,表明ＧＳＴ－π基因表达增加与胃癌有关,而且早于细胞形态的变化。     

鲑鱼生长激素基因分泌型表达质粒的构建

生长激素(GH)是动物垂体前叶分泌的一种多肽类激素.应用分子重组及PCR等技术,构建了一种鲑鱼生长激素基因分泌型表达质粒pOsGH153,使编码鲑鱼生长激素成熟肽的序列克隆在大肠杆菌分泌型表达载体PIN-Ⅲ-ompA内,直接位于编码大肠杆菌外膜蛋白A信号肽序列的下游,在Lpp-Lac杂合启动子控制下,经IPTG诱导,分子量约23 000的鲑鱼生长激素在大肠杆菌中获得高效表达,该产物具有天然鲑鱼生长激素的免疫活性,直接分泌到细胞周质,而信号肽被自动剪除.     

分离自赤豆的青霉新种

本文报道青霉属一个新种,分离自赤豆,特点是分生孢子无色,命名为无色青霉(Penicillium incoloratum sp.nov.).模式和来自模式的活培养物都保存在中国科学院微生物研究所。     

抗氧化剂对苜蓿原生质体早期培养的影响

研究发现,分离原生质体的酶解脱壁处理可以诱导苜蓿细胞产生活性氧。培养基中添加抗氧化剂,有助于提高培养原生质体的分裂频率,缓解褐化现象的出现。经紫外照射处理的培养基不利于苜蓿原生质体的生长和分裂,添加抗氧化剂后,紫外辐射所引起的不良效应则被抵消。因而,通过抗氧化剂对活性氧的清除,有助于早期原生质体的培养。     

大黄素对豚鼠结肠带平滑肌细胞电和收缩性能的影响

联合应用平滑肌肌力张力测量技术和细胞内微电极记录技术,同步地现测豚鼠结肠带平滑肌自发的肌源性电活动和力学活动,研究了大黄素的药物作用。大黄素能缩短膜电位的波动周期,从而缩短峰电位集簇发放的周期;相应地,可使平滑肌的分节律收缩加快,幅值指数升高。大黄素又能促使细胞膜电位自发的周期性波动的出现,导致峰电位的集簇发放;相应地,可使强直收缩转化为分节律收缩,即促进收缩形式向有利于肠道推进功能的方向转化。以上结果表明,大黄素能有效地提高豚鼠结肠带平滑肌细胞的电兴奋性和收缩功能,并且对其电学和力学活动的影响之间有明确的对应关系。     

广西HBsAg阳性母亲的胎儿肝、肾细胞中乙肝病毒DNA存在状态的研究

采用核酸分子杂交Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ印迹法,以３２Ｐ标记的ＨＢＶＤＮＡ为探针,检测ＨＢｓＡｇ阳性母亲引产的４０例胎儿的肝、肾组织。结果有２例胎肝和１例胎肾细胞ＤＮＡ出现大于３．２ｋｂ的杂交带,表明ＨＢＶＤＮＡ已处于整合状态。胎肾细胞基因组中查出ＨＢＶＤＮＡ整合为首次报道。     

Reduction in Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein mRNA Abundance Induced by (—)-Deprenyl and Other Monoamine Oxidase B Inhibitors in C6 Glioma Cells

Abstract: Gliosis is commonly observed in the CNS following tissue damage, and it also occurs in aging and in many neurodegen-erative diseases. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) accumulation is a prominent feature of astrocytic gliosis. An inhibition or delay in GFAP synthesis could mitigate scar formation and thus reduce the formation of a physical barrier. The consequence of this would be to allow neurons and oligodendrocytes to reestablish a functional environment. (—)-Deprenyl, a specific monoamine oxidase (MAO) B inhibitor, has been used as an effective antipar-kinsonian drug, and it has been reported to possess neuroprotective and neurorescue properties. Using northern and slot blots to detect GFAP mRNA in C6 glioma cells, we have demonstrated that (—)-deprenyl decreases the abundance of GFAP mRNA in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The effect seems to be specific to MA0 B inhibitors because (+)-deprenyl and clorgyline exhibit no effect. This study indicates therefore that (-)-deprenyl may be useful for regulating astrogliosis following CNS injury as well as in some neurodegenerative diseases.     

哺乳动物促性腺激素对文昌鱼卵母细胞成熟的影响

在繁殖季节,将哺乳动物促性腺激素注射到性腺正在成熟文昌鱼体内,注射３６小时后,检查促性腺激素的生理效应,结果表明这两种激素均有效地诱发卵母细胞成熟和产卵。从而认为雌性文昌鱼的生殖活动,像脊椎动物一样,可能受促性腺激素的调控。
