大鼠应激性胃粘膜损害与eAMPCa~2及能量代谢变化的关系

本文采用放射免疫测定法、原子吸收光谱分析法和生化酶分析法,测定了大鼠在经受束缚加浸水急性应激四小时内,胃组织cAMP Ca~(2+)及在ATP、ADP、AMP和能量代谢的短期动态变化,同时观察了胃粘膜的损害程度。结果发现胃粘膜损害面积密度随着应激时间延长而逐渐增加;胃组织cAMP和Ca~(2+)则进行性降低;两者呈密切负相关;胃组织能量代谢却略有增强。若预先给以CaCl_2,再予应激,则有减轻应激性胃粘膜损害的作用。     

用体外免疫法建立人—人抗流行性乙型脑炎病毒杂交瘤细胞株

利用单克隆抗体(McAb)进行病毒病的治疗是人们所关心的一个重大课题。 流行性乙型脑炎(乙脑)是一种严重威胁人民健康的急性传染病,病死率高,后遗症严重。国内外目前尚无特效疗法。陈伯权等用乙脑病毒皮下或腹腔感染3周龄小白鼠24、48小时及5天后,分别用乙脑病毒51-8McAb进行治疗,平均治愈率分别为78％、73％及22％。     

固定化酶的微环境效应—载体离子基团性质的影响

作者合成了阴离子型和阳离子型葡聚糖,以此为载体,用CNBr活化其剩余羟基,固定化了葡萄糖淀粉酶和葡萄糖异构酶。就离子型载体对固定化酶的蛋白载量、最适pH和热稳定性等的影响做了考察。发现固定化酶的蛋白载量不仅与载体的电性质有关,也与酶分子自身的电性质有关。当载体电性质与酶蛋白电性质相反时,固定化酶的蛋白载量增加,热稳定性提高、载体电性质与酶蛋白电性质相同时,固定化酶的蛋白载量不变或下降,其热稳定性不变。作者还发现当离子型载体孔度和体系缓冲液浓度一定时,酶分子能否进入多孔性载体内部,对其最适pH是否变化影响极大。若酶分子仅被连接在载体的外表层,其最适pH不发生变化,反之亦然。作者还观察到当多糖类载体引入氨基或羧基后,大大增强了其抵抗微生物侵蚀的能力。     

Molecular characterization of β-thalassemia in Czechoslovakia

Summary We have identified different -thalassemia mutations in 93 members of 34 families of Czech or Slovakian descent using gene amplification, hybridization with specific ³²P-labeled oligonucleotide probes, sequencing of amplified DNA, and gene mapping. The GA mutation at IVS-I-1 was found in 18 families; other Mediterranean mutations were IVS-II-1 (GA), IVS-II-745 (CG), IVS-I-110 (GA), and codon 39 (CT); these were present in 9 additional families. The GT mutation at codon 121, known to cause Heinzbody -thalassemia, was present in 3 families, and the frameshift at codons 82/83 (-G), first described in the Azerbaijanian population, in 2 families. A newly discovered allele was a frameshift at codons 38/39 (-C). One -thalassemia allele was incompletely characterized. We observed in 2 families a TC mutation at position +96 UTR (untranslated region) relative to the termination codon; this mutation likely is a rare polymorphism, -Thalassemia was rare; only one person carried the -^3.7 heterozygosity, and one other had a yet to be identified -thalassemia-1, while seven had the ^{anti 3.7} triplication.     

Chromosomal assignment of 46 brain cDNAs.

Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) have been obtained from several hundred brain cDNAs as an initial effort to characterize expressed brain genes. These ESTs will become tools for human genome mapping and they will also provide candidate causative genes for inherited disorders affecting the central nervous system. We have developed a procedure for the rapid chromosomal assignment of these ESTs: cDNA sequences are first analyzed by a computer program to determine regions likely not to be interrupted by introns in the genomic DNA. A pair of oligonucleotide primers is then designed to amplify this region by the polymerase chain reaction using DNA template from human-rodent somatic cell hybrid chromosomal panels. The chromosomal assignment of the cDNA is determined by studying the segregation of the amplified products in these panels. In this paper we describe the mapping of 46 brain ESTs, as well as observations on the amplification of rodent sequences.     

Triterpenoid glycosides from the bark of Mimosa tenuiflora.

Two new saponins were isolated from Mimosa tenuiflora and their structures established as 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1----2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3]-(alp ha-L- arabinopyranosyl-(1----4]-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1----2)]-[beta-D- xylopyranosyl-(1----4)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyrano syl oleanolic acid and 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3]-(al pha- L-arabinopyranosyl-(1----4]beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1----2)]-[beta-D- xylopyranosyl-(1----4)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl) oleanolic acid.     

Functional analysis of the Streptomyces ambofaciens element pSAM2.

pSAM2 is an 11-kb element integrated in the Streptomyces ambofaciens ATCC23877 genome and found additionally as a free replicon present at several copies per chromosome in strain JI3212, the derivative of ATCC23877 isolated after uv irradiation. In spite of its small size, this element specifies numerous functions including maintenance, site-specific integration, self-transmissibility, pock formation, and mobilization of chromosomal markers. After transfer of the free form of pSAM2 to Streptomyces lividans, the free and the integrated forms coexist. A functional map of pSAM2 was deduced from phenotypes exhibited in S. lividans by numerous deletion or insertion derivatives. In addition to the previously characterized regions sufficient for site-specific integration we have shown that separate regions are involved in either plasmid maintenance as a free molecule, plasmid transfer, and pock formation. Transfer of pSAM2 could depend on its ability to be maintained in a free form, since plasmids deficient in this function are transferred at very low frequency. Deletions of some regions of the plasmid are lethal for the plasmid or the host, but if some other regions are deleted simultaneously, transformants can be obtained.     

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。
