海州湾春季短蛸的栖息分布特征及其与环境因子的关系

近年来,我国近海多种重要渔业资源处于不同程度的衰退状态,而短蛸具有生命周期短、生长迅速的特点,在我国近海经济渔获产量中占重要地位。然而,有关短蛸的栖息分布特征及其与环境因子的关系尚缺乏研究,不利于更好地保护和利用其资源。本研究根据2011年和2013—2017年春季海州湾的渔业资源和环境因子调查数据,采用随机森林模型、人工神经网络模型和广义提升回归模型3种机器学习方法分析了短蛸的栖息分布特征及其与环境因子的关系。结果表明: 随机森林模型的拟合效果和预测能力在3种模型中优势较大,选择该模型进行分析表明,底层水温、水深和底层盐度对短蛸的栖息分布有较大影响。短蛸的相对资源密度随底层水温、水深和底层盐度的增加均呈先上升后下降趋势。根据FVCOM模型模拟的环境数据,应用随机森林模型预测了短蛸在海州湾海域的栖息分布,发现短蛸主要分布在34.5°—35.8° N、119.7°—121° E之间的海域。

Soil inorganic carbon storage pattern in China

Soils with pedogenic carbonate cover about 30% (3.44 × 10⁶ km²) of China, mainly across its arid and semiarid regions in the Northwest. Based on the second national soil survey (1979–1992), total soil inorganic carbon (SIC) storage in China was estimated to be 53.3±6.3 PgC (1 Pg=10¹⁵ g) to the depth investigated to 2 m. Soil inorganic carbon storages were 4.6, 10.6, 11.1, and 20.8 Pg for the depth ranges of 0–0.1, 0.1–0.3, 0.3–0.5, and 0.5–1 m, respectively. Stocks for 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1 m of depth accounted for 8.7%, 28.7%, 49.6%, and 88.9% of total SIC, respectively. In contrast with soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, which is highest under 500–800 mm yr⁻¹ of mean precipitation, SIC storage peaks where mean precipitation is <400 mm yr⁻¹. The amount and vertical distribution of SIC was related to climate and land cover type. Content of SIC in each incremental horizon was positively related with mean annual temperature and negatively related with mean annual precipitation, with the magnitude of SIC content across land cover types showing the following order: desert, grassland >shrubland, cropland >marsh, forest, meadow. Densities of SIC increased generally with depth in all ecosystem types with the exception of deserts and marshes where it peaked in intermediate layers (0.1–0.3 m for first and 0.3–0.5 m for latter). Being an abundant component of soil carbon stocks in China, SIC dynamics and the process involved in its accumulation or loss from soils require a better understanding.     

Integrating Horizontal Gene Transfer and Common Descent to Depict Evolution and Contrast It with “Common Design”1

ABSTRACT. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and common descent interact in space and time. Because events of HGT co‐occur with phylogenetic evolution, it is difficult to depict evolutionary patterns graphically. Tree‐like representations of life's diversification are useful, but they ignore the significance of HGT in evolutionary history, particularly of unicellular organisms, ancestors of multicellular life. Here we integrate the reticulated‐tree model, ring of life, symbiogenesis whole‐organism model, and eliminative pattern pluralism to represent evolution. Using Entamoeba histolytica alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (EhADH2), a bifunctional enzyme in the glycolytic pathway of amoeba, we illustrate how EhADH2 could be the product of both horizontally acquired features from ancestral prokaryotes (i.e. aldehyde dehydrogenase [ALDH] and alcohol dehydrogenase [ADH]), and subsequent functional integration of these enzymes into EhADH2, which is now inherited by amoeba via common descent. Natural selection has driven the evolution of EhADH2 active sites, which require specific amino acids (cysteine 252 in the ALDH domain; histidine 754 in the ADH domain), iron‐ and NAD⁺ as cofactors, and the substrates acetyl‐CoA for ALDH and acetaldehyde for ADH. Alternative views invoking “common design” (i.e. the non‐naturalistic emergence of major taxa independent from ancestry) to explain the interaction between horizontal and vertical evolution are unfounded.

目的:比较宫颈电环切除术(LEEP)与冷刀宫颈锥切术治疗宫颈上皮内瘤变(CIN)的临床疗效。方法:回顾性分析分别行LEEP(96例)与冷刀锥切术(78例)治疗的CINⅡ-Ⅲ级患者的临床资料,比较两组患者手术时间、术中出血量、脱痂期出血量及切口愈合时间。结果:LEEP组患者术中出血量(13.5±2.6 mL)、手术时间(12.8±1.9 min)分别少于或短于冷刀宫颈锥切组(26.4±3.7 mL;24.9±2.5 min)(P0.01),两组患者脱痂期出血量、术后切口愈合时间无统计学差异。结论:LEEP治疗CINⅡ-Ⅲ级患者较冷刀锥切术治疗术中出血少,手术时间短,值得临床推广。     

探讨腹腔镜与子宫输卵管造影诊断女性不孕的临床价值

目的:探讨腹腔镜(laparoscopy,LAP)与子宫输卵管造影(hysterosalpingography,HSG)诊断女性不孕症的临床价值.方法:回顾性分析114例女性不孕症患者的LAP及HSG检查结果.结果:在诊断输卵管通畅度中,两种方法符合率为89.81%;HSG对于输卵管通畅性检查的灵敏度为94.28%,特异度为87.67%,阳性预测值为78.57%,阴性预测值为96.96%,误诊率为12.33%,漏诊率为5.72%;HSG诊断宫腔粘连4例,未明确有盆腔组织疾病的有78例.结论:HSG检查在判定子宫腔、输卵管管情况及输卵管梗阻部位优于LAP检查,LAP检查发现盆腔粘连及影响生育的其他盆腔疾病优于HSG.HSG检查是不孕症病因诊断的有效方法之一,而LAP联合HSG术可以增加诊断的准确性.

生殖支原体脂质相关膜蛋白激活核因子κB诱导人单核细胞表达前炎症细胞因子及凋亡

为了解生殖支原体(Mg)潜在的致病性及其脂质相关膜蛋白(LAMPs)诱导人单核细胞(THP-1)凋亡及表达前炎症细胞因子(CKs)的分子机制,用Mg提取的LAMPs刺激THP-1细胞,以ELISA法和RT-PCR方法分析CKs产生和其mRNA的表达。不同试实验组的细胞经AnnexinV联合PI染色后通过流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡。采用EMSA方法检测LAMPs处理的THP-1细胞中核转录因子kappaB(NF-κB)的激活,并分析NF-κB抑制剂二硫代氨基甲酸吡咯烷(pyrrolidine dithiocoarbamate,PDTC)对LAMPs处理的THP-1细胞产生CKs的量和其mRNA表达及细胞凋亡的影响。LAMPs能以时间和剂量依赖方式刺激THP-1细胞产生TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-6,且能激活NF-κB诱导THP-1细胞表达CKs的mRNA及发生凋亡,PDTC能显著抑制CKs的mRNA表达水平和细胞凋亡。由于LAMPs能激活NF-κB诱导THP-1细胞表达CKs及产生细胞凋亡,因而可能是一个重要的致病因素。
