急性缺氧下听觉运动反应的研究

受试者为9名男性青年。在低压舱模拟海拔3000、4000、5000和6000m,分别进行1h实验,共36人次。各高度上停留时作听觉检测,并记录了脑电和主诉。结果表明,在3000m,人的听觉运动反应基本正常;而在5000m、6000m,听觉运动反应的正确率、延时率、遗漏率和反应时等多项指标发生显著变化,工效降低。本研究为急性缺氧防护生理标准和缺氧耐力提供了工效的依据。     

长期低浓度SO2对大豆生长和产量的影响

随着化石燃料消耗量不断增加,由此产生的主要大气污染物之一SO_2的浓度和影响范围也日趋增大。SO_2对植物,特别是对农作物的影响已受到普遍重视。本研究选择我国北方种植面积大、分布广的大豆为供试作物,在野外开顶式熏气装置中进行低浓度SO_2长期暴露试验,观察SO_2对大豆生长发育及产量的影响,以期为制订农田大气环境质量标准提供有一定参考价值的生态学基准。     

Construction and packaging of pseudotype retrovirus containing human N—ras cDNA antisense sequence and its biological effects on human hepatoma cells

N-ras is one of the transforming genes in human hepatic cancer cells.It has been found that N-ras was overexpressed at the mRNA and protein level in hepatoma cells.In order to explore the biological roles of N-ras in human hepatic carcinogenesis and the potential application in control of cancer cell growth,a preudotype retrovirus containing antisense sequence of human N-ras was constructed and packaged.A recombinant retrovirus vector containing antisense or sense sequences of N-ras cDNA was constructed by pZIP-NeoSV(X)1.The pseudotype virus was packaged ang rescued by transfection and infection in PA317 and ψ 2 helper cells.It has been demonstrated that the pseudotype retrovirus containing antisense N-ras sequence did inhibit the growth of human PLC/PRF/5 hepatoma cells accompanied with inhibition of p21 expression,while the retrovirus containing sense sequence had none.The pseudotype virus had no effect on human diploid fibroblasts.

Deep-level diagnostic value of the rDNA-ITS region

The similarity of certain reported angiosperm rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequences to those of green algae prompted our analysis of the deep-level phylogenetic signal in the highly conserved but short 5.8S and hypervariable ITS2 sequences. We found that 5.8S sequences yield phylogenetic trees similar to but less well supported than those generated by a ca. 10-fold longer alignment from rDNA-18S sequences, as well as independent evidence. We attribute this result to our finding that, compared to 18S, the 5.8S has a higher proportion of sites subject to vary and greater among-site substitution rate homogeneity. We also determined that our phylogenetic results are not likely affected by intramolecular compensatory mutation to maintain RNA secondary structure nor by evident systematic biases in base composition. Despite historical homology, there appears to be no ITS2 primary sequence similarity shared sufficient similarity to cluster correctly on the basis of alignability. Our results indicate that groups, however, share sufficient similarity to cluster correctly on the basis of alignability. Our results indicate that ITS region sequences can diagnose organismal origins and phylogenetic relationships at many phylogenetic levels and provide a useful paradigm for molecular evolutionary study.      

Influences on the antimicrobial activity of surface-adsorbed nisin

The efficacy of the antimicrobial peptide nisin was examined after adsorption to silica surfaces. Three protocols were used to evaluate nisin's activity against adhered cells ofListeria monocytogenes: bioassay usingPediococcus pentosaceous FBB 61-2 as the sensitive indicator strain; visualization and enumeration of cells by microscopic image analysis; and viability of adhered cells as determined by lodonitrotetrazolium violet uptake and crystallization. The activity of adsorbed nisin was highly dependent upon conditions of adsorption. The highest antimicrobial activity of adsorbed nisin occurred with high concentrations of nisin (1.0 mg ml^–1) and brief contact times (1 h) on surfaces of low hydrophobicity. Sequential adsorption of a second protein (-lactoglobulin or bovine serum albumin) onto surfaces consistently resulted in decreased nisin activity. These data provide direction for the development of applications to limit microbial attachment on food contact surfaces through the use of adsorbed antimicrobial peptides.

In vitro viability and ultrastructural changes in bovine oocytes treated with a vitrification solution

Abattoir-derived oocytes were exposed to a concentrated cryoprotectant solution (DAP213: 2 M DMSO, 1 M acetamide, 3 M propanediol, and 10% FCS in TCM199) for 1.5 or 5 min at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage or after maturation in vitro (IVM). Their viability was assessed by in vitro fertilization (IVF) and culture (IVC) to blastocysts. To investigate the effect of DAP213 on the ultrastructure, GV and IVM oocytes were processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) before (control) or after exposure to the cryoprotectant. DAP213 induced profound ultrastructural modifications to the microvilli and mitochondria, resulted in large vesicle formation, and, most significantly, caused the premature release of the cortical granules (CG). In IVM oocytes exposed to the cryoproteclant for 5 min, exocytosis of CG into the perivitelline space was common and the IVF rate was reduced (P <.05). After exposure for 5 min, GV oocytes displayed clusters of CG comparable to controls, but after IVM-IVF, polyspermy rate was increased (P <.05). Furthermore, treated GV oocytes showed a reduced rate of cleavage and blastocyst formation and an increased percentage of oocytes exhibiting alterations in organelles, whereas the viability and ultrastructure of IVM oocytes treated for 1.5 min was not different from controls. These observations demonstrate that (1) cortical granule kinetics is one of the key elements controlling fertilizability of bovine oocytes treated with cryoprotectant, and (2) GV oocytes are more sensitive to the cryoprotectant than those that have already been matured in vitro.
