准噶尔盆地荒漠灌丛对融雪水空间分布的反馈初探

温带荒漠的积雪沿灌丛始融,并以灌丛为中心形成融雪漏斗,导致融雪水向灌丛基部汇集。观测资料表明:通过灌丛对融雪水分布的反馈,使灌丛周围的沙层含水量明显增加,为裸沙区的152.1-228.9％,从而提高融雪水的利用率并改善灌丛自身的供水条件,对荒漠植被的分布格局亦起一定影响。     

转化淋巴细胞胰岛素受体酪氨酸蛋白激酶活性及细胞内源性底物的研究

本文对增殖期的淋巴细胞胰岛素依赖性酪氨酸蛋白激酶活性及内源性废物进行了分析研究。在纯化的健康人淋巴细胞中加入适量的植物血凝素(PHA),经过72h培养即成为转化淋巴细胞(增殖期淋巴细胞)。应用~(32)P参入实验,证实转化淋巴细胞胰岛素受体具有胰岛素依赖性的酪氨酸蛋白激酶活性,与未转化的对照组相比其活性增加约9倍。Scatchard分析表明转化后淋巴细胞膜表面胰岛素受体数增加3.5倍。应用抗酪氨酸磷酸酯抗体,对胰岛素作用前后的转化与未转化淋巴细胞内,酪氨酸残基磷酸化的蛋白进行了鉴定,结果表明:除了95kD受体β亚基自身磷酸化外,45kD蛋白质也明显磷酸化,我们命名它为PP45。我们认为PP45可能是淋巴细胞中胰岛素受体酪氨酸蛋白激酶的主要内源性废物,它的磷酸化是胰岛素信息传递过程级联反应的初始步骤。     

Spontaneous Germinal Activation of Quiescent Uq Transposable Elements in Zea Mays L

The spontaneous germinal activation of quiescent Uq transposable elements is reported. Thirty-nine spotted exceptions were observed at a rate of about 2 x 10(-4) from 687 otherwise colorless ears produced from the cross of a-ruq/a-ruq (colorless or occasionally sectored) X an a-ruq tester (colorless). All exceptions had spotting patterns distinct from the pattern of our original standard Uq (Uq1)-a-ruq spotting. From these spotted exceptions five new Uq elements (Uq2, Uq3, Uq4, Uq5 and Uq6) have been isolated. Genetic evidence for the Uq nature of the five germinal isolates is presented. First, each of the five spotted exceptions was homozygous for the a-ruq reporter allele. Second, four new Uq isolates (Uq2, Uq3, Uq4 and Uq5), after being reconstituted into a alpha degrees sh2/alpha degrees sh2 (no Uq) line, could transactivate the standard a-ruq allele and continue to produce their distinct spotting phenotypes. Third, these five new Uqs are also capable of transactivating the c-ruq65 and c-ruq67 alleles. However, the transactivation of c-ruq is generally weaker than that of a-ruq.     

Differentiation-related regulation of 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3 receptor mRNA in human leukaemia cells HL-60

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a nuclear protein which mediates the physiological actions of its hormone ligand, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). While it appears that the receptor-hormone complex regulates the expression of hormone-dependent genes involved in mineral homeostasis, its role in induction of differentiation of leukaemic cells is less clear. We have studied the expression of the VDR gene in several sublines of HL-60 leukaemic cells with varying responsiveness to 1,25(OH)2D3. Sublines which rapidly differentiated to monocytic forms were shown to contain elevated steady-state levels of VDR mRNA within 1 h of exposure to high concentration of 1,25(OH)2D3. This up-regulation of the expression of VDR was not apparent in sublines in which monocytic differentiation occurred after a delay of several days. Beginning at approximately 3 h after exposure to 1,25(OH)2D3 in most cases, there was a gradual decline in VDR mRNA levels. Measurement of steady-state levels of mRNA for c-myc and c-fos showed that in sublines of HL-60 cells which respond rapidly to 1,25(OH)2D3, elevation of VDR mRNA is evident prior to the changes in proto-oncogene expression. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that a change in VDR gene expression is one of the steps that promote monocytic differentiation.

350m氦氧模拟饱和潜水过程中潜水员坐位踏车时心缩间期的变化

在350m氦氧模拟饱和潜水过程中,对4名男性潜水员采用耳密度图导数图方法观察坐位踏车时心缩间期变化。在压力(300、230、135m)下和减压后的主要变化是等容收缩期、射血前期(PEP)和PEP/左室射血时间加大,与加压前比较有显著差异,尤其在踏车负荷加重时更为明显。提示心肌收缩力受高气压的影响而降低。     

甲肝病毒在人血白细胞中体外连续传代和在分类白细胞中增殖的研究

1985年我们采用间接免疫荧光法(IF法)检测出甲肝患者外周血白细胞中有甲肝抗原(HAAg)存在,继而又将HAAg阳性白细胞直接种入PLC/PRF/5细胞,分离到两株甲肝病毒(HAV)NJ—3株和H—1株。为了弄清白细胞所携带的病毒究竟仅为吸附吞饮,抑或能在其中复制增殖,我们将分离到的HAV用正常人血白细胞进行体外增殖试验,现将结果报告如下。
