在实验室条件下［温度(26±1) ℃,相对湿度(75±1)%,光照L∶D=16∶8］研究了烟粉虱在新疆棉田主栽品种新陆早8号、新陆早16号、新陆早17号、中棉35号、抗5和岱80棉花品种上的存活率、产卵量和寿命等,组建了实验种群生命表,估测了种群净增殖率(R₀)、内禀增长力(r_m)、平均世代周期(T)和周限增长率(λ)等生殖力参数.结果表明：烟粉虱在不同棉花品种上的形态大小、发育历期、存活率及产卵量均存在显著差异.比较烟粉虱种群在6种棉花品种上的世代存活率和繁殖力,其在新陆早16号上发育速度最快、产卵量最高,而在抗5上各种生命参数相对较低.新陆早16号是烟粉虱种群生长发育最适宜的棉花品种,其次为中棉35号,抗5是烟粉虱种群最不适宜的品种.     

胃泌素释放肽受体与妇科肿瘤的诊断与治疗

胃泌素释放肽GRP(gastrin-releasing peptide,GRP)作为一种生长因子可以在许多肿瘤组织表达,GRP与肿瘤中的受体GRPR结合后,可启动一系列信号传导通路及基因调控机制,从而促进肿瘤细胞的增殖.GRPR在正常组织和肿瘤组织中的激活作用有重要的生长效应.且在恶性肿瘤中的表达比在正常的人体组织更为普遍.以GRPR作为靶向治疗已有一定的理论支持,但临床研究不多.本文着重要阐述的是关于GRPR与妇科肿瘤的诊断与治疗的关系并展望了其前景.     

Characterization of a genetically engineered elastin-like polypeptide for cartilaginous tissue repair

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are artificial polypeptides with unique properties that make them attractive as a biomaterial for tissue-engineered cartilage repair. ELPs are composed of a pentapeptide repeat, Val-Pro-Gly-Xaa-Gly (Xaa is any amino acid except Pro), that undergo an inverse temperature phase transition. They are soluble in aqueous solution below their transition temperature (T(t)) but aggregate when the solution temperature is raised above their T(t). This study investigates the rheological behavior of an un-cross-linked ELP, below and above its T(t), and also examines the ability of ELP to promote chondrogenesis in vitro. A thermally responsive ELP with a T(t) of 35 degrees C was synthesized using recombinant DNA techniques. The complex shear modulus of the ELP increased by 3 orders of magnitude as it underwent its inverse temperature phase transition, forming a coacervate, or gel-like, ELP phase. Values for the complex shear moduli of the un-cross-linked ELP coacervate are comparable to those reported previously for collagen, hyaluronan, and cross-linked synthetic hydrogels. Cell culture studies show that chondrocytes cultured in ELP coacervate maintain a rounded morphology and their chondrocytic phenotype, characterized by the synthesis of a significant amount of extracellular matrix composed of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and collagen. These results suggest that ELPs demonstrate great potential for use as in situ forming scaffolds for cartilaginous tissue repair.     

限氧自养硝化-反硝化生物脱氮新技术

限氧自养硝化—反硝化是部分硝化与厌氧氨氧化相耦联的生物脱氮反应过程,通过严格控制溶解氧在0．1～0．3mg·L^-1,实现硝化反应控制在亚硝酸阶段,然后以硝化阶段剩余的NH4^+作为电子供体,在厌氧条件下实现反硝化,该反应过程是完全的自养硝化—反硝化过程,具有能耗低、脱氮效率高、反应系统占地面积小等优点,适用于处理COD／NH4^+—N低的废水,是一种非常有应用前景的生物脱氮技术,文中详细介绍了限氧自养硝化—反硝化生物脱氮反应过程的研究进展,讨论了其微生物学机理及应用前景。     

应用意愿价值评估法评价河流生态恢复的时间稳定性——以上海城市内河为例

意愿价值评估法 (CVM)的评估结果是否具有时间稳定性是其可靠性检验中的重要问题,决定其能否应用于我国的生态系统服务价值评估.本文以上海城市内河生态恢复为评估对象,设计相隔1个月和2年的3次意愿价值评估方案,分别对3次调查的426、498和200份问卷进行了对比分析.结果表明： 3次支付意愿均值分别为14.2、14.1和18.0元,中位数分别为5、5和10元.进一步对支付意愿分布和主要统计值、影响因素、模型时间变量的显著性分析结果表明,相隔1个月的CVM 结果具有时间上的稳定性,而相隔2年的CVM 结果表现出一定差异.     

5-氟尿嘧啶增强HeLa细胞对自然杀伤细胞敏感性研究

目的用5-氟尿嘧啶（5-fluorouracil,5-FU）处理HeLa细胞,检测其NKG2D配体MICA的表达及其对NK92细胞杀伤敏感性的变化。方法不同浓度的5-Fu处理HeLa细胞,在不同时间点用半定量PCR及流式细胞术检测HeLa细胞表面的NKG2D配体MICA在RNA及蛋白水平的表达变化情况,用MTT法检测NKG2D抗体封闭NK92细胞的NKG2D受体前后,NK92细胞对HeLa细胞的杀伤作用。结果不同浓度的5．Fu作用于HeLa细胞后,半定量RT—PCR结果显示MICA表达随5-Fu作用浓度增加逐渐增高。而且40μg／ml5．Fu作用于HeLa细胞后随着作用时间的延长（0、8、16、24h）MICA表达增加,流式细胞术检测结果表明,MICA表达的增加主要依赖于未凋亡细胞的MICA表达。在40μg／ml5-FU作用24h,效靶比为2．5：1,5：1,10：1,20：1时都检测到NK92细胞对HeLa细胞的杀伤增强,杀伤作用可部分被NKG2D抗体抑制。结论5-FU能够上调HeLa细胞表面NKG2D配体MICA的表达,增强HeLa细胞对NK92细胞的敏感性,提示化疗联合NK细胞免疫治疗宫颈癌可产生协同作用,提高治疗效果。     

Aptamer selection for the detection of Escherichia coli K88

In this study, the first group of single-stranded DNA aptamers that are highly specific to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 was obtained from an enriched oligonucleotide pool by the SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) procedure, during which the K88 fimbriae protein was used as the target and bovine serum albumin as counter targets. These aptamers were applied successfully in the detection of ETEC K88. They were then grouped under different families based on the similarity of their secondary structure and the homology of their primary sequence. Four sequences from different families were deliberately chosen for further characterization by fluorescence analysis. Having the advantage of high sensitivity, fluorescence photometry was selected as single-stranded DNA quantification method during the SELEX process. Aptamers with the highest specificity and affinity were analyzed to evaluate binding ability with E. coli. Since ETEC K88 is the only type of bacterium that expressed abundant K88 fimbriae, the selected aptamers against the K88 fimbriae protein were able to specifically identify ETEC K88 among other bacteria. This method of detecting ETEC K88 by aptamers can also be applied to bacteria other than ETEC K88.
