江汉盆地古新世的介形类

该文首次报道了江汉盆地可能属于古新世的非海相地层及其中的介形类化石,计有17属30种(其中新种3个),隶属于3个超科。该介形类动物群自下而上可分为:1.Porpocypris(?)-Paraily-ocypris-Cypridea组合;2.Sinocypris-Eucypris-Limnocythere组合。第2组合完全可与广东南雄盆地罗佛寨组的介形类化石群对比,时代可能为古新世晚期;第1组合的介形类是否可与广东南雄盆地上湖组的化石对比的问题,还有待今后发现更为可靠的Porpocypris属的代表分子来解决,这里暂置于古新世早、中期。     

黄瓜导入异戊烯基转移酶基因后对内源激素的影响

用根癌农杆菌C58Cl_PHZ6111)转化黄瓜外植体,在无激素的MS_0培养基上获得转化植株。经胭脂碱测定和氯霉素抗性实验,所测16株均为转化型。气相色谱分析表表,转化植株2—ip和IPA的含量分别为非转化植株的10.7倍和66.7倍,基因4的引入不仅提高了转化植株1AA的会量,也促进了ABA和赤霉素的合成和积累。     

梵净山自然保护区的一些虫生真菌

Effect of Forskolin on Progesterone and Plasminogen Activator Secretion by Perfused Rat Corpora Lutea during Pseudopregnancy

Effects of forskolin on progesterone and plasminogen activator production in pseudopregnant ratcorpora lutea was investigated using isolated in vitro perfused ovaries.Progesterone andplasminogen activator production were measured on day 1,8 and 18 of hCG-inducedpseudopregnancy.The results indicated:different concentrations of forskolin(100,200,400 and800 μg)administered to ovaries on the 8th day of pseudopregnancy caused elevation of progesteronesecretion in a dose-dependent manner.After 8 hours of perfusion,PA contents increasedsignificantly in ovaries treated with forskolin.With exogenous PA-urokinase(800 U)added to theperfusion solution,progesterone secretion increased significantly as compared to control group andremained on high level throughout the perfusion period.Though exerting no apparent effects in lowdosage(5 mM),AMCHA,a PA inhibitor,administered in higher dosage(10 and 15 mM)led tomarked reduction in PA activity and progesterone secretion as compared to control group.Thusforskolin causes significant elevation of level of progesterone secretion and PA activity inpseudopregnant rat ovary perfused in vitro.And PA seems to regulate progesterone secretion in theperfused rat corpora luteum.     

小玉竹的胚胎学研究

小玉竹Polygonatum humile Fisch．ex Maxim．的花药四室．绒毡层腺质型,发育后期出现双核至多核。小孢子四分体左右对称型,偶见四面体型,胞质分裂连续型。成熟花粉具2细胞。子房3室,中轴胎座。胚珠倒生,双珠被,厚珠心,珠孔由内珠被形成。胚囊发育为葱型。受精后,子房壁和外珠被细胞中含有草酸钙针晶。胚发育类似于紫菀型,基细胞有时纵裂形成两个子细胞。胚乳核型。根据实验结果,并结合前人的资料,本文提出了黄精属的胚胎学特征,并在此基础上对黄精族的概念以及属间系统关系进行了探讨。     

云南乌头属一新种及其B染色体的初步观察

本文描述了云南乌头属一个新种,即土官村乌头Aconitum tuguancunense Q．E．Yang,并对其B染色体进行了观察,发现其B染色体数目不但在同一居群的不同植株间有变化,即使在同一植株中也不稳定。     

Congruence of electrical properties in two Antarctic and two middle-latitude marine species of Euplotes (Ciliata, Hypotrichida)

Electric membrane properties and motor behaviour of two Antarctic and two middle-latitude species of Euplotes were compared. Membrane potential fluctuations and whole-cell currents were measured using the whole cell clamp. The electrical properties of both of the Antarctic species between themselves and of both of the middle-latitude species are nearly identical. Furthermore, after warming up to 22°C, the Antarctic species grown at 4°C show the same pattern of spontaneous potential fluctuations, induced potential oscillations and membrane currents as the middle-latitude species grown and measured at 22°C. After cooling down to 4°C, the middle-latitude species grown at 22°C show the same electrical properties as the Antarctic species grown and measured at 4°C. The congruence of the temperature-dependent electrical properties in Euplotes species from completely different habitats is presumably based on a universal mechanism of temperature dependence of ionic conductances, indicating the close physiological relationship among the species.

内皮素对离体大鼠心肌细胞的影响

本文应用离体成年大鼠心肌细胞,研究内皮素作用的细胞机制,发现10~(-9)—10~(-7)mol/L内皮素可引起心肌细胞挛缩、胞浆乳酸脱氢酶漏出和细胞总钙量增加,且具有剂量-效应关系。内皮素可促进~(45)Ca内流,其作用为钙通道阻断剂维拉帕米所拮抗。预先用负载荧光染料Fura-2的心肌细胞与内皮素孵育,可见胞浆游离钙显著增加,其作用亦可为维拉帕米抑制。结果提示:内皮素主要通过电位依赖的钙通道促进心肌细胞Ca~(2+)内流,产生其生物学效应。     

大鼠卵巢细胞分泌纤溶酶原激活因子抑制因子(PAI-1)的激素调节

哺乳动物卵巢合成两类纤溶酶原激活因子(PA),即组织型PA(tPA)和尿激酶型PA(uPA)。大鼠卵巢除主要合成tPA外,还分泌一种纤溶酶激活因子的抑制因子(PAI-1)。在促性腺激素作用下,卵巢tPA和PAI-1两种基因的协调表达是导致滤泡破裂的原因。本实验进一步证实,卵巢中的PAI-1主要由膜-间质细胞分泌,可能作为一种屏障限制颗粒细胞tPA分泌到滤泡外间质。当排卵来临时,两种细胞所分泌的tPA和PAI-1相互作用后仍发现有大量tPA活性。这可能是引起排卵的主要原因。因为成熟的卵丘细胞除分泌高量tPA外,还分泌大量PAI-1,在人工授精中两者有可能作为鉴定卵子优劣的可靠指标。
