小花三脉紫菀和狭叶三脉紫菀的区别:形态学和细胞学证据

产自湖北神农架的狭叶三脉紫菀Aster ageratoides var. gerlachii (Hance) Chang一直被各种文献和有关标本馆误定为小花三脉紫菀A. ageratoides var. micranthus Ling。我们对二者进行了野外采集和形态学、细胞学的比较研究,分析了导致错误鉴定的原因,重新确定了二者的界限。小花三脉紫菀无横走地下茎,这一性状具有重要的分类学价值。核型研究发现,小花三脉紫菀为二倍体,2n=2x=18=18m,核型属1A型;狭叶三脉紫菀则是四倍体,2n=4x=36=32m+4sm (2SAT),核型属2A型。二变种的染色体数目、核型均为首次报道。狭叶三脉紫菀在湖北为新分布记录。

准分子激光双面式切削原位角膜磨镶术的研究进展

准分子激光双面式切削原位角膜磨镶术(Both-sided LASIK,BSL)是准分子激光原位角膜磨镶术(laser in situ keratomileusis, LASIK)的改良,BSL将部分激光切削分布在角膜瓣基质面,因而减少了对角膜基质床的切削,最大限度的保留了角膜基质床的剩余厚度,为降低术后角膜膨出提供可能,对屈光度相对偏高和/或角膜相对偏薄的患者,尽量增加手术的安全性,并为LASIK术后屈光回退的增强手术提供了一种新的方法。本文对近年BSL的研究进展作一综述。     

Anatomy of a New Species of Scolecopteris (Marattiales) from Early Stage of Early Permian in China

Scolecopteris Zenker, a kind of anatomically-preserved fertile foliage of Late Paleozoic Marattiales, has been well studied in Euramerican Flora. It is composed of 28 species which can be divided into four forms (groups) mainly based on modified or umodified pinnules, the variation of the outer facing sporangial walls, and with or without a prominent central parenchyma area. In contrast, Scolecopteris Zenker in Cathaysian Flora has been poorly studied so far, and only one species S. sinensis Zhao, was reported in 1991 which was considered as a member of Minor Group. The paper reports a second species of Scolecopteris, i.e.S, shanxiensis sp. nov., which differs from the above four groups in that its outer facing wall of the sporangia is thick at the base and top (2 ~ 3 layers of cells), and a little thinner ( 1~2 layers of cells) at the midlevel of the synangia. So a new group, Shanxiensis group, is set for the new species. The other characteristics of Shanxiensis group is comparable with Minor group. The new species comes from the coal balls in Coal Seam No. 7 in the upper part of Taiyuan Formation (early Early Permian) from Taiyuan, Shanxi, China. The identification of Scolecopteris shanxiensis sp. nov. :The fertile pinnule probably peeopterids, 5.5 ~ 6.0 mm in length and 2.0 ~ 2.2 mm in width. The lateral extensions of the lamina of the pinnule bend abaxially and above the synangia. The synangia arrange along the sides of the midrib of the pinnnle and there are about 10 synangia in each row. The synangium is elliptical in longitudinal section and radial in cross section, 0.7 ~ 0.8 mm in height and 0.6 ~ 0.7 mm in diameter. Each synangium has 5-7 (mostly 6) fusiform sporangia fused at the base and attached to the top of the synangial pedicel. The outer facing wall of the sporangia consists of 2~3 layers of cells at the base and becomes thinner at the midlevel (1~2 layers of cells), and at the top of the synangia the wall become thicker again. The cells of the outer facing wall of the sporangia are elongate in the longitudinal sections. The lateral and inner facing walls of the sporangia are one cell thick. The synangial pedicel is small. Spores in situ are small, generally 11~14 µm in diameter, spherical or rounded-triangular, trilete and smooth-walled.     

二维斑点追踪技术评价犬心梗后自体骨髓CD34＋干细胞移植对心肌功能的影响

目的应用二维斑点追踪成像超声心动图（2D-STE）,评价犬心梗后自体骨髓CD34＋干细胞移植对心肌功能的影响。方法 12只杂种犬行冠脉左前降支结扎术,导致前壁心肌梗死,随机分为两组,A组为对照组,结扎术后两周二次开胸手术,经心肌注射磷酸盐缓冲液（PBS）1 mL;B组为治疗组,结扎术后两周二次开胸手术,经心肌注射含自体骨髓CD34＋干细胞的磷酸盐缓冲液1 mL。应用STE对12只犬结扎术前、术后左室短轴基底段及心尖段心室节段径向应变（RS）、圆周方向应变（CS）以及局部心肌旋转（Rot）进行分析,并对对照组和治疗组治疗后的RS、CS及Rot变化进行比较。结果心肌梗死后梗死节段的RS、CS以及Rot均下降,治疗后治疗组梗死段RS及Rot较对照组好转。结论 STE能够评价左室短轴局部心肌的收缩功能,心肌梗死后梗死段短轴各方向应变减低,自体骨髓CD34＋干细胞移植能够提高局部心肌的收缩功能。

桉树幼苗对难溶性磷的吸收及其根系对低磷胁迫的响应

以‘广林9号’桉树幼苗为试验材料,采用水培和土培试验方法研究了桉树幼苗对难溶性磷酸盐的吸收及其在低磷胁迫下的根构型和根系的生理反应,以揭示桉树高效吸收磷素的机制。结果显示:(1)桉树幼苗在含磷酸铝的缺磷培养液中吸收的磷达4.24mg/株,与供应水溶性磷和磷酸钙处理的相当。(2)土壤缺磷或仅在上土层(0~20cm)施磷肥处理均有利于桉树幼苗浅层根的分布,使根表面积及根数在上土层与下层(20~40cm)比值明显增高。(3)桉树幼苗根尖的H+-ATPase活性在缺磷处理15d后显著提高,其根尖周围的溴甲酚紫指示剂变黄,根基环境明显酸化;根尖分泌的酸性磷酸酶活性在低磷胁迫也显著提升,且随着处理时间(10、15、20d)的延长而进一步提高;铝和低磷胁迫能明显诱导桉树根系分泌草酸,其分泌量显著高于对照和缺磷处理。研究结果表明,桉树幼苗具有较强的难溶性磷吸收能力,而在缺磷及磷铝胁迫下根系的浅层化、根尖酸化及根分泌的酸性磷酸酶及草酸量增加可能是桉树幼苗适应酸性土壤铝毒和缺磷环境的重要机制。

Expression and Sequence Analysis of a cDNA Relative to Orchid Ovule Development

The Phalaenopsis sp. cv. SM 9108 flower provides a good system to isolate ovule-specific genes. A cDNA library at mature ovule stage has been constructed. A differential screening approach was used to identify cDNAs representing genes which are expressed in a stage-specific manner during ovule development. The authors have demonstrated that the expression of a cDNA (0138) was regulated stage-specifically and tis-sue-specifically using, Northern blot, and also have analyzed the full sequence of this cDNA. Its further functional characterization in ovule development will be facilitated.
