Insulin clearance during hypoglycemia in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Eight male patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) without residual beta-cell function were studied on two occasions in random order. In one experiment hypoglycemia was induced by a constant rate iv infusion of insulin (0.034 U/kg/h) during 150 minutes. At the other occasion an identical infusion of insulin was given, but this time euglycemia was maintained by a variable iv infusion of glucose. Plasma levels of free insulin were almost identical during the two experiments indicating that insulin clearance is not influenced by hypoglycemia in patients with IDDM.     

Phylogenetic analysis and evolution of RNase P RNA in proteobacteria.

The secondary structures of the eubacterial RNase P RNAs are being elucidated by a phylogenetic comparative approach. Sequences of genes encoding RNase P RNA from each of the recognized subgroups (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) of the proteobacteria have now been determined. These sequences allow the refinement, to nearly the base pair level, of the phylogenetic model for RNase P RNA secondary structure. Evolutionary change among the RNase P RNAs was found to occur primarily in four discrete structural domains that are peripheral to a highly conserved core structure. The new sequences were used to examine critically the proposed similarity (C. Guerrier-Takada, N. Lumelsky, and S. Altman, Science 246:1578-1584, 1989) between a portion of RNase P RNA and the "exit site" of the 23S rRNA of Escherichia coli. Phylogenetic comparisons indicate that these sequences are not homologous and that any similarity in the structures is, at best, tenuous.     

A REVIEW OF THE CLASSIFICATION,DISTRIBUTION AND APPLICATION OF ARTEMISIA L. AND SERIPHIDIUM ( BESS. ) POLJAK. ( COMPOSITAE ) IN CHINA

<正> The paper is a review, in which author showed 1). A view of the classification, including history and taxonomic evidence of the genera, Artemisia L. and Seriphidium (Bess.) Poljak.; 2). the distribution, including migration in geological period, the speciation and present distributional mass center and so-called "3 oblique mass zones" in China, as well as the secondary speciation and developing centers in Hengduang-Himalayan Mts. and 3). the application, mainly in medicine, but also for herbage in steppe and for the windbreaks and assist to sand fixation at the desert and semi-desert areas.     

溶液流动对等电溶菌酶晶体生长的影响

本文对等温自由生长和强制性溶液生长的等电溶菌酶的晶体形态进行了研究,发现这些形态变化与溶液相的流动密切相关,指出生物晶体生长停止是由于生长晶体周围的溶质贫乏造成的;通过某些手段减薄或消除这一溶质贫乏区,就可以保证晶体的持续生长。本文的研究对改善大尺寸晶体的生长提供了一条途径。

黑龙江省东宁县山区蜱类的生态调查

我国东北地区有的蜱种已证实是传播森林脑炎、北亚蜱传斑疹伤寒的媒介。近年来,国内文献又报导了从东北牡丹江林区发现了莱姆病(Lyme Disease)病人,病人都有被婢咬史,并从全沟硬蜱(Ixodes persulcatus)的中
