消炎痛对大鼠肝线粒体微粒体^45Ca摄取及膜流动性的影响

我们曾报道消炎痛预处理在大鼠能引起明显的肝保护作用,为了进一步探讨消炎痛肝保护作用的机制,本工作观察了它对大鼠肝线粒体、微粒体钙调节作用及膜流动性的影响。结果表明,经消炎痛整体预处理的大鼠肝线粒体和微粒体的钙摄取及膜流动性均明显增加,但是,将消炎痛直接加入由正常大鼠分离的线粒体或微粒体中,则反而使膜的流动性降低。这些变化可能与消炎痛的肝保护作用有关。     

在原代培养的大鼠肝细胞观察消炎痛的细胞保护作用

我们曾观察到消炎痛预处理能明显减轻四氯化碳和半乳糖胺对大鼠的肝损伤作用,本工作采用原代培养的大鼠肝细胞进一步观察了这一现象。结果表明,经消炎痛整体处理后分离的大鼠肝细胞,在原代培养的条件下,对四氯化碳的损伤仍然具有明显的抵抗作用,表现为细胞内酶的漏出少于对照组。正常大鼠离体肝细胞在原代培养条件下用消炎痛处理,在相当大的剂量和相当长的时间范围内未出现明显的抗损伤作用。结果提示:消炎痛整体处理可使肝细胞本身获得抗损伤的能力,而这种抗损伤能力的产生可能有赖于肝细胞外其它因素的参与。     

艾菲属吸虫一新种（复殖目：鳞肉科）

艾菲属(Aephnidiogenes)吸虫在我国为首次报道,文中记述了采自海南岛一种胡椒鲷(Plectorhynchus pictus)体内的海南艾菲吸虫,新种(Aephnidiogenes hainanensis sp. nov.),对其形态特征进行了描述,并与相近种作了比较。虫体11.641—17.425mm,卵巢为不规则三角形,卵子66—69×33—45μm。     

Thiosulfate production from cystine by the keratinolytic prokaryote Streptomyces fradiae

In cultures of Streptomyces fradiae on wool as the only source of nutrition inorganic thiosulfate (in amounts up to 0.5 mg of Na₂S₂O₃·5 H₂O/ml) was formed as the final product of metabolization of sulfur from cystine of keratin proteins. The presence of thiosulfate was proved by qualitative tests and thin-layer chromatography and estimated quantitatively by spectrophotometry, titrimetry, and capillary isotachophoresis. Metabolization of organic sulfur to thiosulfate excreted into the medium is a process not yet described in microorganisms.     

TPA对原代白血病细胞的诱导分化作用

本文报告了TPA对32例不同类型白血病细胞的体外分化诱导结果。TPA(1.6×10~-7M)可诱导急性非淋巴细胞(ANLL)白血病细胞迅速出现单核巨噬细胞分化标志:细胞贴壁、胞浆丝状伪足形成,具有类似巨噬细胞的形态改变及相应的细胞化学反应特征。急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)和桨细胞白血病(PCL)细胞不发生上述变化,表现为细胞聚集成闭现象。慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)出现桨细胞样形态转化。初发与复发病例的诱导反应相类似。TPA体外诱导分化实验,有助于了解病人白血病细胞的分化潜能,对于鉴别粒单系和淋巴系两类白血病,尤其对于用常规方法分型困难的低分化白血病有一定的临床诊断意义。     

取食雄蜂蛹粉对龟纹瓢虫和异色瓢虫卵黄发生的影响

本文比较了龟纹瓢虫Proylea japonica和异色瓢虫Harmonia axyridis取食蚜虫和取食雄蜂蛹粉时的卵黄发生情况.当取食雄蜂蛹粉时,体内卵黄蛋白出现迟,积累速度慢,产卵前期长.但用保幼激素类似物ZR512点滴处理后则能达到与食蚜对照相当的水平.ZR512对取食雄蜂蛹粉瓢虫的作用显著大于取食岈虫者.进一步的研究表明,ZR512能促进这两种瓢虫取食雄蜂蛹粉,但对成虫的体重没有明显的影响.因此推论,雄蜂蛹粉基本能够满足这两种瓢虫生殖的营养需要,但对其内分泌有一定的影响,使瓢虫处于类似生殖滞育的状态.本文根据不同食物条件对卵黄蛋白发生的影响不同,建议用卵黄蛋白的量作为生理指标,以快速初步筛选和评估人工饲料.     

国产五种菊属植物的核型研究

本文对国产5种菊属植物的核型进行了研究,结果为:D. indicum 2n=2x=18=16m 2st,2n=4x=36=28m 6sm 2st;D. lavandulifolium 2n=2x=18=14m 4sm,2n=4x=36=28m 6sm 2st;D. lavandulifolium var.seticuspe 2n=2x=18=12m 6sm;D. chanetii 2n=4x=36=20m 14sm 2st,2n=6x=54=38m 14sm 2st;D. potentilloides2n=2x=18=14m 2sm 2st;D. vestitum 2n=6x=54=38m 16sm.核型分析的结果表明,本文所研究类群中出现的多倍体多为异源多倍体;根据对核型资料、形态特征及地理分布特点的综合分析,作者认为多倍化是菊属野生种进行的主要途径。     

Enzymatic down regulation with exercise in rat skeletal muscle

Maximal activities of rat skeletal muscle mitochondrial citrate synthase (CS), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), as well as several other mitochondrial enzymes involved in various metabolic functions were significantly suppressed after a single bout of acute or exhaustive treadmill running. This enzymatic "down regulation" was maintained 24 and 48 h post exhaustion, especially in the untrained rats. Neither muscle cytosolic nor hepatic enzymes exhibited down regulation after exercise. Proteolysis was increased with exercise as assessed by the clearance of [3H]leucine previously incorporated into the proteins of the rats. Decreased CS, MDH, and ALT activities correlated with a significant loss of mitochondrial total protein sulfhydryl (r = 0.67, 0.68, 0.59, respectively, P less than 0.001) in untrained rats and both CS and MDH could be partially restored by incubation with dithiothreitol. Endurance-tested untrained and trained rats had significantly higher glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity in both muscle mitochondria and cytosol which correlated significantly with endurance time (r = 0.70 and 0.74, respectively). It is concluded that enzymatic down regulation is not caused by proteolysis alone; i.e., peroxides and oxygen free radicals produced in prolonged exercise may alter the intramitochondrial redox state by oxidizing free thiols that may be required at active sites of these enzymes. Training may enhance the ability of the muscle to resist the toxic oxygen species by increasing GPX activity.
