人工湿地污水处理系统三种红树植物抗性生理特性

研究了淡水条件下潜流型人工湿地污水处理系统中红树植物海桑、桐花树和木榄的抗性生理特性.结果表明,在为期1年的试验中,人工湿地污水处理系统3种红树植物超氧物歧化(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性持续升高并维持在较高水平,脯氨酸含量在7～9月达到最高水平,质膜透性没有明显的变化规律.对人工湿地与深圳福田自然保护区3种红树植物抗性生理指标进行比较,前者SOD、POD和CAT活性明显低于后者,脯氨酸含量前者明显高于后者,而丙二醛（MDA）含量和质膜透性则两者没有差别.3种红树植物能较好地适应淡水条件下潜流型人工湿地污水处理系统.     

尖锐湿疣样本中HPV病毒的分子检测

调查男性和女性尖锐湿疣样本中人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的检出率及病毒类型,为研发相关防治疫苗提供依据,以HPV 外壳蛋白DNA序列为模板设计特异引物,SSP－PCR扩增检测样本中HPV的感染率和病毒类型。收集了北京及邯郸市医院门诊尖锐湿疣样本22例,其中男性13例,女性9例。检测发现所有样本中存在着高浓度的HPV病毒DNA。男性样本中有5例感染HPV6型,6例感染HPV11型,2例为HPV6＋HPV11混合感染。女性样本中有3例感染HPV6型,2例感染HPV11型,4例为 HPV6＋HPV11混合感染。被诊断为宫颈湿疣的4位女性还在其含宫颈粘膜脱落细胞的样本中检出了HPV16、HPV18、HPV33、HPV35、HPV45、HPV54、HPV56或HPV58等高危险型病毒类型。所有检测到的HPV病毒DNA片段均TA克隆并将测定的DNA序列存入了国际基因数据库GenBank（DQ003066－DQ003079）。调查没有在单纯的男女尖锐湿疣组织块中检测到除HPV6和HPV11以外的其他HPV类型。该研究建立了灵敏可靠的HPV分子检测及分型方法,尖锐湿疣中HPV的检出率达100％。 本研究初步结果显示导致男女尖锐湿疣的HPV病毒类型没有显著差异,主要为HPV6及HPV11型。     

云南草蔻花蜜分泌格局与访花动物行为及其对果实和种子产量的影响

依靠动物传粉的植物, 其繁殖成功 (胚珠受精与花粉散布 ) 很大程度上取决于访花动物的种类和拜访行为, 而访花动物的种类和行为又受植物提供给传粉者的回报, 主要是花蜜分泌格局的影响。通过对姜科山姜属植物云南草蔻 (Alpiniablepharocalyx) 花蜜分泌量及糖分含量的测定, 拜访动物种类、传粉昆虫拜访频率及停留时间的调查, 主要盗蜜者花松鼠 (Tamiopsswinhoei) 的盗蜜行为观察, 植物的结实率以及结籽量的分析等, 探讨花蜜分泌与传粉昆虫的关系以及盗蜜对果实及种子生产的影响。研究表明 :云南草蔻的两种花型花蜜的分泌量在一天的单花开花过程中呈现相反的格局, 花柱上举型花下午的花蜜分泌量高于上午, 而花柱下垂型花则上午略高于下午 ;两种花型花蜜的糖分浓度都随着开花时间而下降 ;共有 17种访花动物拜访云南草蔻的花, 其中 8种具有传粉作用 ;传粉昆虫的停留时间随拜访频率的不断增加而缩短 ;被盗蜜植株与未被盗蜜植株的结实率差异不显著而结籽量差异显著。     

一种新型疟疾核酸疫苗生产工艺的初步研究

疟疾是危害人类健康和生命的主要寄生虫病之一,寻找合适的疫苗一直是该病控制的重要方向。在疟疾核酸疫苗方面作了系列尝试,取得较好研究结果,并最终构建了以胸腺嘧啶合成酶基因为筛选标记的、具有大肠杆菌平衡致死特征的新一代疟疾核酸疫苗pThyAAWTE。对影响工程菌高密度发酵的几个因素进行了分析,所优化程序可使工程菌发酵密度达OD60060以上;此外,还对质粒初步纯化过程中的几个重要参数进行了分析,初步结果表明,悬浮液体积(ml):菌体湿重(g)在2:1以上,对质粒的得率没有明显影响;碱裂解时间在一定范围内不影响质粒的质量;合适的悬浮液体积/裂解液/中和液比能明显提高质粒产量;用优化程序所提取的质粒其产量与试剂盒提取的量相当。为pThyAAWTE的大规模纯化打下了基础。     

Floral Morphogenesis of Anemone rivularis Buch.-Ham. ex DC. var.flore-minore Maxim. （Ranunculaceae） with Special Emphasis on Androecium Developmental Sequence

The floral morphogenesis and androecium developmental sequence of Anemone rivularis Buch.-Ham. ex DC. var.flore-rninore Maxim. were observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and by means of histological methods in order to expand our knowledge of the morphogenesis and development of the floral organs of the Ranunculaceae. The initiation of the floral elements is a centripetal spiral and the direction of the spiral is clockwise or anti-clockwise. However, the development of the androecium is highly unusual: in a longitudinal series of four stamens, the second stamen develops first from the inner to outer, then the third one, the fourth one and the first one in turn. The microsporogenesisand ant her maturation follows the same developmental sequence. The tepals are different from the bracts and the stamens in both shape and size in the early developmental stage, but there is no difference between the stamens and carpels in the early developmental stage. Therefore, we established a spatio-temporal process of the floral morphogenesis ofA. rivularis var.flore-rninore and offer another meaning of the floral diversity patterns attributed to the level of the genus.     

Weak responses to dietary enrichment in a specialized aphid predator

Some ladybeetles are specialist predators of aphids, coccids or other prey, although they often eat a variety of species from their focal prey taxon. In addition, the diet is often supplemented with alternative prey. How larvae of the aphidophagous Coccinella septempunctata L. utilize a non‐aphid alternative prey (fruit‐fly larvae Drosophila melonogaster Meigen) is compared with adequate (i.e. high‐quality) aphid prey provided alone (monotypic diet) or in mixed diets. The alternative prey are presented either nutrient‐enriched (i.e. raised on dog food supplemented medium) or not (raised on pure medium). Ladybird performance (survival, growth and development) is poor on the pure fly larvae diets, and also reduced when given mixed diets compared with the pure aphid diet. Nutrient enrichment of the fly larvae has no positive effects. The physiological background for the differences in food value, as indicated by performance in life‐history parameters, is a strong pre‐ingestive effect (i.e. reduced consumption of fly larvae compared with aphids) and a post‐ingestive effect (i.e. reduced utilization of assimilated larval fly tissue), whereas the assimilation efficiency of the consumed fly larvae is as high as that of aphids. The results show a physiological trade‐off resulting from prey specialization that reduces the possibility of utilizing alternative prey when the availability of aphids is scarce. Connected with this is a high robustness against variation in prey nutrient diversity and composition; the ladybird shows little positive response to dietary mixing (i.e. neither mixing of adequate aphids, nor of aphids and alternative prey) or to nutrient enrichment of prey. This contrasts with the results from generalist predators (spiders), where similar treatments lead to strong effects on life‐history parameters.
