迷走神经与乙酰胆碱对缩窄的犬冠状动脉节段阻力的影响

在麻醉开胸犬,用电起搏维持心率恒定,研究了电刺激颈迷走神经(VNS)及冠状动脉内注入乙酰胆碱(ACh)对缩窄的冠状动脉的节段阻力及血流量的影响。在左旋支主干造成不同程度的冠状动脉缩窄。分别测定左旋支血流量(CBF_(cx))、主动脉压和主旋支远端冠状动脉压,记录心电图。实验发现,在冠状动脉临界狭窄和重度狭窄时,VNS 或冠脉给ACh 引起心外膜大冠状动脉阻力及冠状动脉主旋支总阻力增大,CBF_(cx)减少;随着缩窄程度加重,这些改变也愈明显,然而,心肌内小冠状动脉阻力却无显著改变。     

酪氨酸对大鼠离体Leydig细胞睾酮和cAMP生成的影响

本实验采用胶原酶消化,Ficoll 密度梯度离心,制备大鼠睾丸 Leydig 细胞悬浮液进行体外培养(每管内含有10~6 细胞),以研究酪氨酸对 Leydig 细胞睾酮和cAMP 生成的影响。实验结果表明,hCG(100mIU)能明显地促进Leydig 细胞睾酮和 cAMP的生成。睾酮从对照组的3.08±0.58ng(X±SD,下同)增加到41.61±1.52ng,cAMP 含量从19.62±2.56pmol增加到153.24±5.92pmol。若将酪氨酸(60μg)与hCG同时加入到细胞培养液中,则睾酮和cAMP 含量分别下降到 19.22±.0.52ng(P<0.01)和92.63±6.02pmol(P<0.05)。但是,酪氨酸羟化酶抑制剂(α-甲基酪氨酸)对酪氨酸抗hCG致睾酮生成作用无阻断效应,而酪氨酸对外源cAMP(2.5mM)诱导的睾酮生成,则有明显的抑制作用,睾酮含量从27.56±1.53ng降至 19.50±0.47ng(P<0.01)。以上实验结果表明,酪氨酸抗hCG致睾酮生成的作用机理与cAMP有关。     

Electron nuclear double resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance study on the structure of the NO-ligated heme alpha 3 in cytochrome c oxidase

The techniques of EPR and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) were used to probe structure and electronic distribution at the nitric oxide (NO)-ligated heme alpha 3 in the nitrosylferrocytochrome alpha 3 moiety of fully reduced cytochrome c oxidase. Hyperfine and quadrupole couplings to NO (in both 15NO and 14NO forms), to histidine nitrogens, and to protons near the heme site were obtained. Parallel studies were also performed on NO-ligated myoglobin and model NO-heme-imidazole systems. The major findings and interpretations on nitrosylferrocytochrome alpha 3 were: 1) compared to other NO-heme-imidazole systems, the nitrosylferrocytochrome alpha3 gave better resolution of EPR and ENDOR signals; 2) at the maximal g value (gx = 2.09), particularly well resolved NO nitrogen hyperfine and quadrupole couplings and mesoproton hyperfine couplings were seen. These hyperfine and quadrupole couplings gave information on the electronic distribution on the NO, on the orientation of the g tensor with respect to the heme, and possibly on the orientation of the FeNO plane; 3) a combination of experimental EPR-ENDOR results and EPR spectral simulations evidenced a rotation of the NO hyperfine tensor with respect to the electronic g tensor; this implied a bent Fe-NO bond; 4) ENDOR showed a unique proton not seen in the other NO heme systems studied. The magnitude of this proton's hyperfine coupling was consistent with this proton being part of a nearby protein side chain that perturbs an axial ligand like NO or O2.     

中国鲤科鱼类染色体组型的研究 Ⅱ.鲴亚科四种鱼的染色体组型

鲴亚科(Xenocyprininae)鱼类多为中小型鱼类,常见于江河湖泊等较宽阔的水域中,我国长江、黑龙江、黄河及珠江诸流域皆有分布,共有10种,隶属4个属(伍献文等,1964)。迄今尚未见有该亚科鱼类染色体组型的研究报道。本文是对其中三属四种鱼的染色体组型的观察结果。这四种鱼是银鲴(Xenocypris argentea)、黄尾鲴(Xenocypris davidi)、细鳞斜颌鲴(Plagiognathops microlepis)和逆鱼(Acanthobrama simoni)。其中黄尾鲴和细鳞斜颌鲴均为新的淡水养殖鱼(沈德长等,1981;陈楚星,1979)。     

辽宁省啮齿动物的地理区划

辽宁省的啮齿动物,过去曾在局部地区进行过调查(伍律等,1958;董谦等,1962;林兰泉等,1965),我站自1961年以来对全省作了较为全面的调查工作。关于啮齿动物的地理区划问题,肖增祜等(1978)曾作过区划拟议,将辽宁省初步划分为三个动物地理省(辽东山地丘陵省、辽西山地丘陵省、辽河平原省)。本文根据1958—1981年全省啮齿动物的调查资料,将辽宁省划分为五个啮齿动物地理省,现作如下叙述和讨论。     

Quantum theory of nerve excitation

Based on quantum transitions of membrane dipoles, the four fundamental properties of nerve impulse are derived in this paper: the all-or-none response, the strength-duration relation, refractoriness and refractory period and frequency modulation. Furthermore, the theory offers a physical mechanism for nerve excitation similar to a two-level ammonia maser. It also implies non-threshold excitation at elevated temperatures. The role of trimethylamine ions near the surface of a phospholipid membrane is briefly discussed to indicate a possible connection between theory and reality.     

Carbon Balance of a Mannitol Fermentation and the Biosynthetic Pathway

The carbon balance was determined for a fermentation in which mannitol is produced from glucose by an Aspergillus species. The products found were: cells (17% of carbon input), CO(2) (26%), mannitol (35%), glycerol (10%), erythritol (2.5%), glycogen (1%), and unidentified compounds (8%). Thus, 92% of the carbon input was accounted for. Cell-free enzyme studies showed that mannitol was synthesized via the reduction of fructose-6-phosphate and not by the direct reduction of fructose. If the cell yield from glucose was assumed to be 50% and the theoretical conversion efficiency from glucose to polyols was 90%, as calculated from the energy balance, then 34% of the glucose carbon was used for growth and 53% was used for polyol formation.     

我国新蚤属斯氏组(stevensi group of Neopsylla)的分类研究及新种新亚种记述(Siphonaptera:Hystrichopsyllidae)

我国的新蚤属已知有18个种和亚种,其中有12种和亚种属于多毛组,6种属于斯氏组。著者等今整理了从云南、贵州、福建和陕西四省所得到的斯氏组新蚤,除尊新蚤和异种新蚤未获得以外共记述了10种和亚种。其中无规新蚤和福建新蚤为已知种,不同新蚤为我国新记录,均作了补充记述。另外还发现了斯氏新蚤的雌性。本种系Rothschild 氏于1915年根据采自尼泊尔-锡金边境的一只雄蚤而记述。至1932年Jordan氏根据从四川得到的标本记述了雌性形态。本文根据从云南获得的雌雄性标本,重新记述了雌性形态,并由于早先文献中证据的不足和结论的可疑提出Jordan氏1932年记述的雌蚤并非本种,可能是其他种新蚤的雌性。 本文记述了两个斯氏组的新种:1)相关新蚤新种,采自云南中甸 Apodemus agrarius;2)二毫新蚤新种,采自云南中甸 A.agrarius(?E.proditor)。另外,对特新蚤进行了种下分类,提出特新蚤乃一多型物种,根据其种群特征将所得标本分别订为三个地理亚种:(1)云南大理的为特特新蚤;贵阳的为贵阳特新蚤;福建的为闽北特新蚤。 最后编制了我国斯氏组新蚤12个种和亚种的分类检索表。     

Changes in the biological activity of agropyrene on combined application with humus substances in the cultivation ofScenedesmus obliquus (TURP.) krüger

The work is concerned with the question of the effect of humic acids on the biological action of agropyrene, the effective substance from the rootstock of Agropyron repens (L.) P. BEAUV. The test organism was the alga Scenedesmus obliquus (TURP.) KRÜGER, cultivated in mineral solution. The basic biological test was the determination of the number and size of the cells of this alga. It was found that the way in which agropyrene acts on combined application with humus acids depends on which humus fraction is used. It can display a synergic action if humic acid is used, since this substance probably facilitates the penetration of agropyrene into the cells. On the other hand, fulvic acid counteracts the activity of agropyrene and this most probably by mutual binding and blocking of active groups and links.
