促进兴安落叶松天然更新的出苗条件研究

根据４０多块标准地调查,促进更新措施后兴安落叶松１年生幼苗出现的频度及数量与种子年关系很大,幼苗更新效果最好的是种子年当年,更新频度可达６０％以上,幼苗平均为１．０—２．０×１０３株·ｈａ－１,其他年份促进的效果较差．同时,也与迹地类型、种源状况和整地质量关系较大．一般在山坡中、下部,土壤湿润的杜香落叶松和藓类越桔落叶松林迹地促进效果较好,其更新频度为６０—７０％．绝大部分更新幼苗出现在表土裸露、无杂草灌木、土壤湿润的地方．更新频度与植被盖度呈明显的衰减指数相关．促进地块距下种林墙最好不超过６０ｍ范围．     

Polyamine regulation of Na+/glucose symporter expression in LLC-PK1 cells

Addition of polyamines or their analogs to newly confluent LLC-PK₁ cells resulted in down-regulation of Na⁺-glucose transport (symport) activity. Polyamines prevented the induction of this symporter by the differentiation inducer hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) but did not influence induction by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). Partial depletion of endogenous polyamines after addition of α -difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) resulted in a 4 to 5-fold increase in symporter expression. Symporter induction by either HMBA or DFMO was inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 but H-7 did not affect symporter induction by IBMX. Changes in symporter activity were accompanied by changes in levels of the 75 kD symporter subunit detected by Western blot. Cultures exposed to HMBA exhibited reduced levels of ornithine decarboxylase activity. Our results suggest that induction of symporter expression by HMBA may be mediated in part by its effects on polymine metabolism, and point to parallel roles of polyamines and cyclic AMP in regulating the expression of this physiologically important renal transport system. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Three research priorities for just and sustainable urban systems: Now is the time to refocus

Now is the time to refocus efforts in urban research and design. A changing climate and extreme weather events are presenting unique challenges to urban systems around the world. These challenges illuminate the social barriers that accompany disruptive events such as resource inequities and injustices. In this perspective, we provide three research priorities for just and sustainable urban systems that help to address these matters. The three research priorities are: (1) social equity and justice, (2) circularity, and (3) digital twins. Conceptual context and future research directions are provided for each. For social equity and justice, the future directions are mandatory equity analysis and inclusionary practices, understanding and reconciling historical injustices, and intentional integration with diverse community stakeholders. For circularity applications, they are better metrics for integration, more robust evaluation frameworks, and dynamic modeling at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Future directions for digital twins include developing principles to reduce complexity, integrating model and system components, and reducing barriers to data access. These research priorities are core to meeting several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (i.e., 1—No Poverty, 8—Decent Work and Economic Growth, 10—Reduced Inequalities, and 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities). Useful social and technical matters are discussed throughout, where we highlight the importance of prioritizing localized research efforts, provide guidance for community-engaged research and co-development practices, and explain how these priorities interact to align with the evolving field of industrial ecology.     

Circular RNA SLTM as a miR-421-competing endogenous RNA to mediate HMGB2 expression stimulates apoptosis and inflammation in arthritic chondrocytes

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common age-related joint disease characterized by chronic inflammation, progressive articular cartilage destruction, and subchondral sclerosis. Accumulating evidence suggests that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play key roles in OA, but the function of circSLTM in OA remains greatly unknown. Therefore, this study focused on interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-treated primary human chondrocytes as well as a rat model to investigate the expression pattern and functional role of circSLTM in OA in vitro and in vivo. CircSLTM and high mobility group protein B2 (HMGB2) were upregulated in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes, whereas miR-421 was downregulated. Knockdown of circSLTM or overexpression of miR-421 ameliorated IL-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis and inflammation. The regulatory relationship between circSLTM and miR-421, as well as that between miR-421 and HMGB2, was predicted by bioinformatics and then verified by the RNA immunoprecipitation experiment and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Furthermore, silencing of circSLTM increased cartilage destruction and decreased cartilage tissue apoptosis rate and inflammation in a rat model of OA. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the fundamental role of circSLTM in OA progression and provide a potential molecular target for OA therapy.     

EGF对大鼠卵巢颗粒细胞增殖与分化影响的研究

许多研究发现,表皮生长因子(EGF)对生殖功能有重要的调节作用。本文用体外细胞培养的方法,研究了EGF对大鼠卵巢颗粒细胞增殖与分化的影响及其作用方式。结果如下:EGF可以明显抑制颗粒细胞DNA的合成,但促进孕酮的生成,后者是因为EGF能显著提高细胞内3β-羟甾脱氨酶(3β-HSD)的活性。放射受体分析表明,颗粒细胞上存在EGF的特异性受体,其K_d为1.83±0.3×10~(-8)mol/L,B_(max)为1.75±0.29×10~4个位点/细胞。卵巢免疫组化结果未发现颗粒细胞有EGF样免疫染色,而卵泡膜、黄体及间质内等均有阳性染色。以上结果提示,EGF可能通过旁分泌机制作用于颗粒细胞的EGF受体,从而调节细胞的生长和性激素的分泌,这对于颗粒细胞的成熟及卵泡的发育有着重要意义。
