白纹伊蚊幼虫龄期的发育历期

在实验室内20±1℃, 23±1℃, 25±1℃, 28±1℃和30±1℃恒温条件下, 观察了白纹伊蚊(Aedes albopictus)幼虫(广州株)的发育历期.幼虫的总发育历期和各龄幼虫的发育历期随温度的上升而缩短, 各龄幼虫历期在总发育历期中占有恒定的百分比, 据此计算出其捕获机率.各龄幼虫的发育历期与温度呈直线回归关系.通过积温公式, 求出各龄幼虫的积温常数.此外还探索了营养对幼虫发育历期的影响, 从而影响各龄幼虫捕获机率的计算.     

Genetic studies on nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) in cattle

Experimentally produced monozygotic twins, natural opposite sex blood chimeras (freemartins), and several pedigrees were used to evaluate the genetic influences on the nucleolus organizer region (NOR) patterns in cattle. In monozygotic twins, the NOR patterns of both twins are extremely similar. In chimeras, NOR patterns of genetically identical, peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from the two partners resemble each other. In contrast, genetically different PBL (sib organ) differ significantly in the same environment. A high heritability of the individual NOR patterns is also demonstrated in our 23 pedigrees. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that variation in NOR expression is predominantly due to genetic factors.     

内毒素对人血小板聚集,释放的体外作用

大肠杆菌 O55B5内毒素在体外可抑制人血小板自发性聚集,并使血小板内 cAMP、钙调素明显增高,但对肾上腺素诱发的血小板聚集无作用,也不能引起血小板致密颗粒和α-颗粒的释放。此外还观察到内毒素组无血小板上清液中5-HT 含量减少。     

清醒狗短暂缺血心肌复灌注时舒缩功能的变化

在狗的心脏上装入微超声探头和高精度微压力传感器,手术后两星期,在清醒状态下给予左冠状动脉旋支阻断三分钟。在复灌注过程中,观察到血液动力学指标与收缩期心室壁厚度(WT)迅速恢复正常;但在 dWT/dt—WT 环形图上出现舒张早期异常相,其形状与缺血过程不同。低氧和急遽冠状动脉过度充盈可以产生此种异常图形。我们推测,心肌缺血可能促使一些产物的形成,复灌注时它使冠脉过度舒张,冠脉灌注增加,从而造成舒张早期急遽充盈而形成了此种异常的形图。     

The control of root, vegetative shoot and flower morphogenesis in tobacco thin cell-layer explants (TCLs)

Thin cell-layer explants (TCLs) have been proposed as favorable tissues for the study of root, vegetative shoot and flower formation. We tested the effects of pH, light quality, light quantity, and IBA and kinetin concentrations on the morphogenesis of TCLs cultured individually on a liquid medium. Alterations of the amounts of exogenously supplied IBA and kinetin were sufficient to induce the formation of roots, vegetative shoots and flowers on TCLs cultured on otherwise identical media. The type and number of organs formed were sensitive to the intensity of light (55, 75, 100 and 120 muEinsteins m-2 sec-1) under which TCLs were grown. Evidence was obtained that the effects of light on TCL morphogenesis were associated with photochemical degradation of IBA in the medium. Evaluation of the organogenesis that occurred in TCLs cultured on a medium containing a range of IBA and kinetin concentrations showed that the number and type of organs formed, and overall growth, were dependent upon the initial concentrations of auxin and cytokinin. We have developed the TCL culture system into a sensitive and reproducible bioassay for the study of morphogenesis. The advantages of using the TCL morphogenesis bioassay for the identification and study of molecules (e.g. cell wall oligosaccharides) that may regulate morphogenesis are discussed.     

Localized insertion of new S-layer during growth of Bacillus stearothermophilus strains

Bacillus stearothermophilus strains PV 72 and ATCC 12980 carry a crystalline surface layer (S-layer) with hexagonal (p6) and oblique (p2) symmetry, respectively. Sites of insertions of new subunits into the regular lattice during cell growth have been determined by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique and the protein A/colloidal gold technique.During S-layer growth on both bacillus strains the following common features were noted: 1. shedding of intact S-layer or turnover of individual subunits was not seen; 2. new S-layer was deposited in helically-arranged bands over the cylindrical surface of the cell at a pitch angle related to the orientation of the lattice vectors of the crystalline array; 3. little or no S-layer was inserted into pre-existing S-layer at the poles, and 4. septal regions and, subsequently, newly formed cell poles were covered with new S-layer protein.     

躯体和内脏传入冲动在大鼠束旁核内的会聚

在麻痹的大鼠上,分别刺激迷走神经、内脏大神经、坐骨神经、腓肠神经、睾丸和副睾,在对侧丘脑束旁核记录到了45个细胞的单位放电。根据诱发反应的潜伏期、时程和放电频谱分布的不同,可将他们分为五种类型,并且认为这些类型和刺激引起的感觉性质有关。在观察到的45单位中,29个的反应具有痛放电的特性,而且对躯体及内脏的传入冲动呈聚合性反应。其中2个单位只对内脏传入冲动产生反应。这项研究的结果表明,束旁核不仅是接受内脏传入的丘脑结构,而且也是一个整合内脏与躯体传入信息的中枢。     

垂体在刺激脑内渗透压感受器引起的肾脏反应中的作用

实验在α氯醛糖和氨基甲酸乙酯混合麻醉的大鼠中进行。脑室内注射高张盐水(icv.HS)后,肾血浆流量、肾小球滤过率、尿量、尿钠排出量、尿钾排出量和渗透物质清除率均增加,游离水清除率下降。去除垂体后,icv.HS不再能引起上述肾脏反应。另外给大鼠静脉注射血管升压素(VP)拮抗剂(V_1和V_2受体拮抗剂),并不能削弱上述icv.HS引起的肾脏反应。脑室内注射高张盐水后,尿中多巴胺(DA)排出量无显著增多;给予多巴脱羧酶抑制剂苄丝肼也不能削弱icv.HS引起的肾脏反应。上述实验结果表明,在本实验条件下刺激脑内渗透压感受器引起的肾脏反应依赖于垂体的完整性,但看来并不依赖于外周的VP和DA,故垂体通过何种机制介导icv.HS引起上述肾脏反应,有待于进一步的研究。
