GM_3对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞磷脂代谢转换率的影响

神经节苷脂ＧＭ_３对小鼠腹腔常驻巨噬细胞（Ｒ－Ｍ）和Ｇｅ－１３２体内激活的巨噬细胞（Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ）的磷脂代谢转换有显著的影响,当这两种Ｍ在体外用ＧＭ_３处理时,表现出［￣（３２）Ｐ］Ｐｉ和［￣３Ｈ］肌醇参入ＰＩ降低,参入ＰＩＰ、ＰＩＰ_２增加;但在［￣（３２）Ｐ］Ｐｉ和［￣３Ｈ］胆碱参入ＰＣ上,Ｒ－Ｍ与Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ不同,即ＧＭ_３促进同位素前体参入Ｒ－Ｍ的ＰＣ,抑制它们参入Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ的ＰＣ．以上结果表明ＧＭ３可能提高了ＰＩ或ＰＩＰ的磷酸激酶的活性,致使［￣（３２）Ｐ］ＰＩＰ和［￣（３２）Ｐ］ＰＩＰ_２增多,［￣（３２）Ｐ］ＰＩ减少．激活的Ｍ（Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ）本身ＰＣ代谢转换率较Ｒ－Ｍ高,当Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ再受ＧＭ_３刺激,ＰＣ代谢转换率降低,这提示ＧＭ_３对激活的Ｍ的ＰＣ代谢转换有调节作用．     

The effect of xanthate floatation reagents on bacterial leaching of chalcopyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

Summary Xanthate floatation compounds, added to cultures of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans leaching chalcopyrite, inhibited growth in the concentration range 1–10 mM and caused a drop in formation of soluble copper and iron. Maximum (80–90%) growth inhibition was at 10 mM for isobutyl-, amyl- and ethyl xanthate while isopropyl xanthate was innocuous but caused a four-fold increase in lag phase. Copper production was depressed by 30% for isopropyl-, 53% for isobutyl-, ethyl- and 77% for amyl xanthate at 10 mM additions.     

蓟属两种植物的染色体研究

本文对蓟属（Ｃｉｒｓｉｕｍ）的两个形态相似的近缘种大刺儿菜和小刺儿菜进行了染色体研究,其中后者为首次报道。观察结果表明：两个种的染色体数目均为２ｎ＝２ｘ＝３４：它们的核型是：大刺儿菜．２ｎ＝２ｘ＝３４＝２０ｍ＋１２ｓｍ＋２ｓｔ：小刺儿菜．２ｎ＝２ｘ＝３４＝２２ｍ＋１０ｋｍ（２ＳＡＴ）＋２ｓｔ。通过核型比较,认为它们是两个独立的种．而且后者比前者进化。     

Effects of microtubule-disruptive and membrane-stabilizing agents on low density lipoprotein metabolism by cultured human fibroblasts

The cellular mechanisms involved in the uptake and metabolism of low density lipoprotein (LDL) by cultured normal human fibroblasts have been investigated with the aid of drugs known to disrupt cytoplasmic microtubules or to inhibit membrane fusion.Two drugs which disrupt microtubules by differing mechanisms, colchicine and vinblastine, each reduced the high affinity surface binding of ¹²⁵I-labelled LDL by fibroblasts. Associated reductions of the endocytosis and degradation of the lipoprotein could be attributed almost entirely to this effect. In contrast, lumicolchicine, an analogue of colchicine without microtubule-disruptive activity, had little or no effect on ¹²⁵I-labelled LDL metabolism.Each of two groups of membrane-stabilizing agents, the phenothiazines and the tertiary amine local anaesthetics, directly inhibited both the internalization of ¹²⁵I-labelled LDL following high affinity binding to cell surface receptors and the catabolism of the lipoprotein subsequent to endocytosis, supporting previous morphological evidence for the importance of membrane fusion in these processes.     

Serological analysis and pathogenic potentials of Wangiella dermatitidis isolated from bats

Methods for the preparation of antigens from clinically isolated cultures of Aspergillus were standardized. Sera from 25 suspected cases of pulmonary aspergillosis were tested against antigens prepared by us, from 4 strains of A. fumigatus and one strain of A. flavus, using the Ouchterlony double diffusion and immunoelectrophoretic techniques.Of the 25 sera tested, 18 reacted positively with antigens of A. fumigatus, one with A. flavus and 2 with both these species. Antigens of two non-pathogenic Aspergilli included in the study failed to react with any of the sera. Our antigen preparations gave more numerous as well as sharper precipitin lines than the commercial Bencard antigens which were used for comparison. Moreover, mycelial antigens from 48 to 96 h old cultures revealed precipitin lines comparable to that of the routine, 4 week old culture filtrate antigens, thus suggesting that the incubation period for obtaining antigens could be cut down considerably.Memoir No. 323 from the Centre of Advanced Study in Botany.Deceased     

黄腐酸增强小麦抗旱能力的生理生化机制初探

叶面喷施黄腐酸可显著提高小麦幼苗的保水能力,表现为降低叶面蒸腾强度,增加气孔扩散阻力,提高幼苗的生物量,在干旱条件下尤为明显。喷施黄腐酸可使干旱条件下叶片内脯氨酸含量提高近一倍,并在水分充足时,也能使叶片脯氨酸含量增加78%。

IL-4 down-regulates the expression of J11d on murine B cells.

T cell-derived IL-4 has many effects on murine B cells, including the up-regulation of class II antigens and the induction of isotype switching. The development of memory B cells and the decreased expression of J11d antigens on these cells are influenced by T cells. In this report, we determined whether the decreased expression of J11d can also be mediated by T cell-derived lymphokines and, in particular, IL-4. We found that IL-4 can down-regulate the expression of J11d on both large and small B cells, that this effect becomes significant after 48 hr of culture and occurs at doses of IL-4 that are similar to those required to up-regulate murine class II MHC antigens encoded by I-region alpha genes (IA). Anti-IL-4 antibody completely blocks this effect but IFN-gamma does not. Other lymphokines (IL-1, IL-2, IL-3, IL-5, IL-6) neither induce a decrease in J11d nor alter the ability of IL-4 to down-regulate J11d expression. The decrease in J11d expression on B cells is not due to a preferential survival of cells expressing lower levels of J11d, although IL-4 has a more pronounced effect on these B cells. Finally, the down-regulation of J11d and up-regulation of IA by IL-4 occurs on all inducible B cells.     

四川省自贡市幼儿园3至5岁儿童乙型肝炎病毒感染情况及影响因素

为了解四川省自贡地区3～5岁幼儿乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染情况,并探索与感染有关的因素,1985年调查了1167名幼儿,其HBV总感染率为41.13％,HBsAg阳性率12.68％。幼儿的HBV感染与母亲HBsAg阳性密切相关。共检查母亲409例,38例HBsAg阳性,其幼儿HBsAg阳性率为50％(19/38),HBsAg阴性的母亲371例,其幼儿HBsAg阳性率9.97％(37/371),来自HBsAg阳性母亲的阳性子女占33.3％(19/56)。1986年随访HBV易感幼儿448例,HBV年感染率为12.95％(58/448),HBsAg年阳转率3.79％。HBV年感染率与原幼儿班级HBsAg阳性率的高低有关。
