蝉花虫草活性成分的抗惊厥作用

本研究采用活性追踪的方法,逐步从人工培养蝉花虫草分离获得A（50%乙醇回流提取）、B（膜分离）、C（大孔树脂洗脱）和D（Sephadex LH20柱纯化）等4种样品,单一化合物D纯度为98.62%,鉴定为N6‐(2‐羟乙基)腺苷[N6‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐adenosine,HEA]。研究各样品对戊四唑（pentylenetetrazol,PTZ）诱导的小鼠惊厥模型的影响,以及选择性腺苷A1受体（AA1R）拮抗剂DPCPX或选择性腺苷A2A受体（AA2AR）拮抗剂ZM241385对HEA作用的影响,并采用苏木精-伊红（hematoxylin-eosin,HE）染色、免疫组化（immunohistochemical,IHC）染色和蛋白质免疫印迹（Western blot,WB）等技术进一步探究HEA抗惊厥作用的机制。结果表明,各样品（i.p.）均有抗惊厥活性,HEA（40–60mg/kg,i.p.）能显著延长惊厥小鼠的存活时间和降低死亡率,DPCPX（2mg/kg,i.p.）能够拮抗HEA的抗惊厥作用,而ZM241385无此作用;HE、IHC和WB的结果进一步揭示DPCPX显著降低HEA的作用。综上所述,蝉花虫草的HEA具有抗惊厥作用,并且可能通过激活腺苷A1受体而起作用。

Gene expression profile in immunologically injured liver cell of mice

To study the gene expression profiles between immunologically injured liver cell and normal liver cell of mice and to screen on a large scale the differentially expressed genes associated with the formation of liver injury, the experimental mice were randomly divided into the normal group for controlling and the immunologically liver-injured group induced by BCG and LPS. The liver mRNA of the two groups were extracted respectively and reversely-transcribed to cDNA with the incorporation of different fluorescence (Cy3, Cy5) labeled dUTP as the hybridization probes. The mixed probes were hybridized to the cDNA microarray chips. The fluorescent signal results were acquired by scanner ScanArray 4000 and analyzed with software GenePix Pro 3.0. Among the 14112 target genes, 293 genes were found to be significantly differentially expressed, in which 188 genes were up-regulated and 105 genes were down-regulated. Based on the analysis of biological functions of those differentially expressed genes, it was indicated that the occurrence and development of mouse liver damage induced by BCG and LPS were highly correlated with the processes of immune reactions, cell synthesis, metabolism, apoptosis and transportation in liver cell, which might be quite important for elucidating the regulatory network of gene expression associated with the liver damage, also important for finally discovering the pathogenic mechanisms of immunological liver damage.     

Molecular phylogeny of the entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Cordyceps (Ascomycota:Clavicipitaceae) and its evolutionary implications

Cordyceps is an endoparasite ascomycetous genus containing approximately 450 species with a diversity of insect hosts,traditionally included in the family Clavicipitaceae of Ascomycota.Establishing the relationships among species with a varied range of morphologies and hosts is of importance to our understanding of the phylogeny and co-evolution of parasites and hosts in entomopathogenic ascomycetes.To this end,we used a combination of molecular index and morphological characters from 40 representative species to carry out comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analyses.Based on the phylogenetic tree,we used the program DISCRETE for inferring the rates of evolution and finding ancestral states of morphological character.The phylogenetic analyses revealed two important points.(i) Types of perithecia attached to stroma reflected an evolutionary trend in Cordyceps.The vertically immersed perithecia form was the ancestral state,superficial and obliquely immersed perithecia were derived characters,obliquely immersed was irreversible.Species with obliquely immersed perithecia were in a closely related group and were the derived group.(ii) A strong correlation between fungal relatedness and the microhabitat supported the hypothesis that the host jumps through commingling in soil microhabitats.Based on the results of these analyses,host switching explains the diversity of entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Cordyceps.     

基于酵母水平的高通量药物筛选

随着后基因组时代的到来,越来越多的药物靶标蛋白将会被发现,基于靶标蛋白设计出的化合物也将大量涌现,高通量药物筛选日趋重要。酵母基因组的易操作性及其简单稳定的培养条件,使得该真核微生物成为一种理想的药物筛选工程细胞。本文讨论了选择酵母系统进行细胞水平筛选的优缺点,并从基于靶点和表型两种筛选模式对酵母水平的高通量药物筛选做一总结。     

入侵杂草化感作用的细胞自动机模拟研究

细胞自动机模型(Cellular Automata Model,简称CA模型)是一种能够表现系统复杂行为的模拟方法,适于研究植物群落时空动态过程.本文利用CA模型,模拟具有化感作用的外来种入侵原有物种所构成植被的过程.模型由产生化感物质的外来种和两个对化感物质敏感性不同的本地种组合成不同类型的群落,利用化感物质作用下受体物种生物活性响应模型及种子扩散负指数分布模型,模拟外来杂草和本地种分布格局的时空动态变化.结果表明,外来种可成功地完全入侵由两个对化感物质敏感的本地种构成的群落空间,但对于由对化感物质敏感的一个本地种及对化感物质具有抗性的另一个本地种构成的群落,外来种只能够与本地种共存.     

活细胞单分子实时视见研究

我们对细胞生物学与分子生物学中有关分子事件和相互作用的认识,大部分都是集团平均水平研究的结果,并且基于所有的分子在给定时间内以完全相同的方式运动这样一种不真实的假设。现在,激光技术和全内反射显微镜的应用,以及绿色荧光蛋白(green fluorescent proteins,GFPs)等新的分子荧光探针的出现,使得显示活细胞单个生物分子的运动行为和轨迹成为可能。单分子水平的研究将会加深人们对分子和细胞生物学的基本概念的认识。     

宽恕与睡眠质量关系的研究进展

近年来,国内外对宽恕的研究逐渐增多,但宽恕与睡眠质量关系的研究较少,本文通过综述现有的一些研究资料,分析二者之间的关系。分析表明,人际侵犯事件是影响宽恕的外部因素,其严重程度直接影响受害者的宽恕水平及睡眠质量;宽恕能够降低受害者的生理唤醒、情绪唤醒、及认知唤醒,从而改善睡眠质量,但之间的相互作用及具体的内在影响机制并不明确。同时,影响宽恕水平的宜人性、外倾等人格特质也会影响睡眠质量。最后分析了目前研究中存在的缺陷,并对宽恕与睡眠质量关系的研究前景进行了展望。
