咽喉部高频喷射通气调节各参数对狗肺通气效率的影响

用相关和回归处理方法,研究了8条正常狗咽喉部高频喷射通气时,调节驱动压、呼吸比和频率对喷气量、吸入气氧浓度、动脉血气及气道内压的作用。结果显示,驱动压和呼吸此对各观察指标几乎有同等重要的作用,频率的影响很小,喷气量与吸入气氧浓度、动脉血气、气道内压间存在显著的正相关关系。说明调节参数的意义主要在于改变了喷气量。     

The rate of nuclear cytoplasmic protein transport is determined by the casein kinase II site flanking the nuclear localization sequence of the SV40 T-antigen.

We have previously demonstrated [Rihs, H.-P. and Peters, R. (1989) EMBO J., 8, 1479-1484] that the nuclear transport of recombinant proteins in which short fragments of the SV40 T-antigen are fused to the amino terminus of Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase is dependent on both the nuclear localization sequence (NLS, T-antigen residues 126-132) and a phosphorylation-site-containing sequence (T-antigen residues 111-125). While the NLS determines the specificity, the rate of transport is controlled by the phosphorylation-site-containing sequence. The present study furthers this observation and examines the role of the various phosphorylation sites. Purified, fluorescently labeled recombinant proteins were injected into the cytoplasm of Vero or hepatoma (HTC) cells and the kinetics of nuclear transport measured by laser microfluorimetry. By replacing serine and threonine residues known to be phosphorylated in vivo, we identified the casein kinase II (CK-II) site S111/S112 to be the determining factor in the enhancement of the transport. Either of the residues 111 or 112 was sufficient to elicit the maximum transport enhancement. The other phosphorylation sites (S120, S123, T124) had no influence on the transport rate. Examination of the literature suggested that many proteins harboring a nuclear localization sequence also contain putative CK-II sites at a distance of approximately 10-30 amino acid residues from the NLS. CK-II has been previously implicated in the transmission of growth signals to the nucleus. Our results suggest that CK-II may exert this role by controlling the rate of nuclear protein transport.     

Molecular cloning and characterization of the gene encoding the adenine methyltransferase M.CviRI from Chlorella virus XZ-6E.

The gene encoding the DNA methyltransferase M.CviRI from Chlorella virus XZ-6E was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. M.CviRI methylates adenine in TGCA sequences. DNA containing the M.CviRI gene was sequenced and a single open reading frame of 1137 bp was identified which could code for a polypeptide of 379 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 42,814. Comparison of the M.CviRI predicted amino acid sequence with another Chlorella virus and 14 bacterial adenine methyltransferases revealed extensive similarity to the other Chlorella virus enzyme.     

α—人心房钠尿因子对离体豚鼠心肌收缩力和动作电位...

The effect of alpha-hANF on contractile force and action potential duration (APD) of isolated myocardium in guinea pig was investigated. At the level of 20 nmol/L and 40 nmol/L alpha-hANF, the contraction amplitude and rate of contraction phase decreased to a remarkable extent. And at 40 nmol/L, APDs were shortened significantly 20 min after alpha-hANF. The results suggest that there exists a direct inhibitory effect of alpha-hANF on myocardial contractile force and action potential duration.     

激光、血卟啉对肿瘤细胞DNA单链断裂及其重接的影响

用简化的Kohn氏碱洗脱法,观察了光敏剂血卟啉衍生物(HPD)对小鼠S-180肿瘤细胞DNA单链断裂及其重接修复的影响。激光HPD能导致S-180细胞DNA单链断裂明显增加,而且这种断裂随着保温时间的延长,继续增多。在本实验条件下没有观察到HPD对X线的增敏作用,HPD不能增加X线所致的DNA单链断裂,也不能影响其重接。单链断裂重接动力学的实验进一步证明了这个论点。

棒头草幼穗在含2,4-D的MS培养基上诱导出了胚性、非胚性和中间型愈伤组织。根据形态、淀粉粒等指标可将组成这些愈伤组织的细胞分为三类。改变培养基中2,4-D的浓度,能诱导三类愈伤组织相互转变。从胚性愈伤组织中诱导形成了大量体细胞胚;体细胞胚是从单个原胚细胞直接发育而来,它们能正常萌发、再生小植株。这种再生能力现已保持了34个月。小植株移植在土壤中可以正常生长、分蘖、开花和结实。     

Generation of a recombinant Moloney murine leukemia virus carrying the v-src gene of avian sarcoma virus: transformation in vitro and pathogenesis in vivo.

A Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) recombinant carrying the v-src gene of avian sarcoma virus was generated by the introduction of a cloned portion of v-src from Schmidt-Ruppin A avian sarcoma virus into a molecular clone of M-MuLV provirus at the recombinant DNA level. The v-src sequences (lacking a portion of the 5' end of v-src) were inserted into the p30 region of the M-MulV gag gene so that M-MuLV gag and v-src were in the same reading frame. Transfection of this chimeric clone, pMLV(src), into NIH 3T3 cells which were constitutively producing M-MuLV gag and pol protein resulted in the formation of foci of transformed cells. Infectious and transforming virus could be recovered from the transformed cells. This virus was designated M-MuLV(src). M-MuLV(src)-transformed cells contained two novel proteins of 78 and 90 kilodaltons. The 78-kilodalton protein, p78gag-src, contained both gag and src determinants, exhibited kinase activity in an immune kinase assay, and is probably a fusion of Pr65gag and src. The 90-kilodalton protein, which is of the appropriate size to be the gPr80gag fused to src, contained gag determinants as well as a V8 protease cleavage fragment typical of the carboxy terminus of avian sarcoma virus pp60src. However, it could not be immunoprecipitated with an anti-v-src serum. M-MuLV(src)-transformed cells showed elevated levels of intracellular phosphotyrosine in proteins, although the elevation was intermediate compared with cells transformed with wild-type v-src. M-MuLV and amphotropic murine leukemia virus pseudotypes of M-MuLV(src) were inoculated into newborn NIH Swiss mice. Inoculated mice developed solid tumors at the site of inoculation after 3 to 6 weeks, with most animals dying by 14 weeks. Histopathological analysis indicated that the solid tumors were mesenchymally derived fibrosarcomas that were both invasive and metastatic.     

Inhibitory effect of molecular hydrogen on C2H2-reducing activity in Anabaena 7120 preilluminated in red or blue light

Molecular hydrogen inhibits nitrogenase activity in Anabaena pre-illuminated with red or blue light. The inhibitory effect of molecular hydrogen decreased in the presence of oxygen and several electron acceptors. When NH₄Cl and urea were added simultaneously with molecular hydrogen, marked synergistic inhibitory effects took place. The inhibitory effect of molecular hydrogen disappeared or was weakened after the suppression of hydrogenase activity. The addition of O₂ and electron acceptors to systems showed no enhancing effect on the C₂H₂-reducing activity.
