Anisomycin诱导小鼠艾氏腹水癌细胞凋亡

目的：探讨Anisomycin诱导EAC细胞凋亡的机制。方法：利用MTT法观察Anisomycin对EAC细胞增殖的影响;应用An．nexinV—FITC和PI双染色检测Anisomycin作用下EAC细胞凋亡的变化;琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测Anisomycin作用下EAC细胞的DNA断裂片断;采用RT—PCR检测Anisomycin作用下Caspase-3mRNA的转录水平;WesternBlot分析Anisomycin处理的EAC细胞内Caspase-3蛋白的表达。结果：Anisomycin对EAC细胞增殖的抑制率随浓度的升高而增高,EAC细胞的凋亡水平也上升,随着Anisomycin浓度升高EAC细胞DNA断裂的寡核苷酸片段亦越趋明显,Caspase-3的mRNA和蛋白水平也上调,并明显高于阿霉素组。结论：结果表明,Anisomycin能够抑制EAC细胞的增殖,在体外可能通过激活Caspase-3凋亡信号而诱导EAC细胞的凋亡。     

提高检验医学本科实习生综合素质探讨

随着生物医学技术、计算机技术、物理化学技术的迅速发展,临床医学对检验医学提出了更高的要求。作为实验室工作人员,在保证结果准确的基础上,还应对临床医生及病人提出的疑问给予合理、正确地解释。此外,还应该具备和临床医生进行交流,以及合理处理病人投诉的能力。五年制检验医学本科生是检验医学的主力军,培养高素质的检验医学本科生,对检验医学的发展将起关键性作用。     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers in Koompassia malaccensis (Leguminosae), an important tropical timber species

This paper reports the isolation and characterization of 24 polymorphic microsatellite markers in an important tropical timber species, Koompassia malaccensis (Leguminosae). The primers were designed from a genomic library enriched for dinucleotide (CT) repeats and screened on 24 samples from a natural population. The number of alleles detected per locus ranged from two to 13 while the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.042 to 1.000. Significant departure from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05) was detected in two loci. These microsatellite markers were tested across 13 timber species of the same family. The amplification success appeared to be associated with taxonomy classification at the genus but not subfamily levels.     

中国环境管理分区:方法与方案

我国生态环境可持续性及其影响因素的区域差异显著,各地区环境管理面临的主要挑战和需要优先解决的生态环境问题不同。进行环境管理分区,根据各地区生态环境特征及其影响因素的差异性,制定有针对性的环境管理政策,将有效促进我国区域生态环境的整体优化。采取定性和定量分析相结合的方法进行我国环境管理分区。首先,在我国3大自然区的基础上,根据我国的自然地理格局和已有的相关区划成果,把我国划分为4个环境管理大区,包括:南部季风区、北部季风区、西北干旱区和青藏高寒区。其次,通过建立的包含13个指标的环境管理分区指标体系,采用一维化欧式距离法分析各环境管理大区下相邻省级行政区环境特征的相似性,把环境特征相似性大的相邻地区划分到同一分区,得到以省级行政区为基本单元的我国环境管理分区方案。然后,结合地区间历史渊源和区域未来发展趋势分析,对基于相似性分析的初步分区方案进行调整,把我国划分为8个以省级行政区为基本单元环境管理区。最后,根据相关调整原则和方法,对以省级行政区为基本单元的分区方案的边界线进行调整,得到以地级行政区为基本单元的分区方案,把我国划分为东北地区、华北平原区、华北山地与高原区、东南沿海地区、长江流域中游地区、西南地区、西北干旱区和青藏高寒区8个环境管理区。     

Bacterial leaching of manganese ores

Leaching of various types of ores, containing 12-30% manganese, by the thiobacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was studied. Leaching of reduced ores (manganocalcite and manganiferous limestone) was mediated mainly by degradation of manganiferous minerals (by sulfuric acid produced in the course of bacterial oxidation of pyrite or sulfur). Bacterial treatment of the ores for 144 and 192 h allowed solubilization of 96-98% of manganese. Inoculation of bacteria into pulp with pyrite increased the rate of leaching of oxide ore (psilomelane) by 37%, and the degree of its extraction within 180 h increased from 80 to 97%.     

The structure and patterns of support in the encounters of the brown macaque (Macaca arctoides)

Aid and cooperation in agonistic encounters have been studied in two groups of stumptail macaques keeping in the open-air cages of nature type. The basic agonistic ranks are found and the cases of aid in encounters are classified. A quantitative analysis using the coefficient reflecting the individual rank, kin and frequency of different aids is carried out. The existence of mechanisms of aggression removal within group is revealed, the role of individual ranks and kin in keeping stability in group is shown.     

Novel ways to prevent proteolysis — prophytepsin and proplasmepsin II

The recently determined crystal structures of two aspartic proteinase zymogens, prophytepsin from barley and proplasmepsin II from the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum, have provided new insights into zymogen inactivation. Prophytepsin shows a variation of the mechanism of inhibition used by the well-known gastric aspartic proteinase zymogens, whereas proplasmepsin II uses a completely new mode of inactivation.     

RAPID SCREENING FOR SALMONELLA IN FISHMEAL BY ENRICHMENT-IMMUNOASSAY

We previously described an enrichment-immunoassay utilizing a T6 monoclonal antibody capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Here we evaluated it for the rapid screening for Salmonella in fishmeal obtained from the national Animal and Plant Quarantine service in the People's Republic of China. In this method, the number of Salmonella present is first expanded by appropriate enrichment cultures, and the pathogens are then directly detected by the T6 immunoassay. In a total of 94 enrichment cultures of fishmeal, we obtained an overall concordance of 98% between the results obtained in parallel by this method and by conventional test method. The positive prediction by this method was 92% and the negative prediction was 100%. The turn around time for the new test was 27 h which is a significant improvement from the turn around time exceeding 96 h required for the conventional test method. This test proved to be compatible with the routine work flow in the practical setting of a quarantine laboratory.
