Aβ在APP/PS1双转基因与APP/PSl/Tau三转基因阿尔茨海默病模型小鼠脑海马区分布的比较研究

目的:比较研究Aβ免疫阳性产物在老年APP/PSl双转基因(2xTg)与APP/PSl/Tau三转基因(3xTg)阿尔茨海默病模型小鼠海马的分布。方法:采用15月龄2xTg与同龄3xTg,分别进行Aβ单克隆抗体6E10免疫组化检测Aβ阳性神经元及斑块。结果:在海马区2xTg组Aβ沉积多发生于细胞外,形成大量Aβ阳性斑,而3xTg组则主要沉积于细胞内。结论:这种Aβ分布的差异可能与3xTg模型早期即有神经元丢失有关。

Expression of the transcription factor Zfp191 during embryonic development in the mouse

The human zinc finger protein 191 (ZNF191) is a Krüppel-like protein and can specifically interact with the widespread TCAT motif which constitutes the HUMTH01 microsatellite in the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene (encoding the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines). Allelic variations of HUMTH01 are known to have a quantitative silencing effect on TH gene expression and to correlate with quantitative and qualitative changes in the binding by ZNF191. This factor has been isolated from bone marrow and promyelocytic leukemia cell lines indicating that ZNF191 also plays a role in hematopoiesis. Thus, ZNF191 could participate in the regulation of several genes implicated in different functions. Moreover, mice that are deficient in Zfp191, the murine homologue of ZNF191, have been shown to be severely retarded in development and to die approximately at embryonic day 7.5. In order to gain further insight into its biological functions, we have analysed the localisation of Zfp191 throughout mouse development. Expression was detected early during embryogenesis in ectodermal, endodermal, mesodermal and extra-embryonic tissues. In particular, Zfp191 was observed in the developing central nervous system. Interestingly, its expression levels were prominent in areas of proliferation such as the subventricular zone. Zfp191 expression pattern during development can account for the phenotypic features of Zfp191(-/-) embryos.     

Differences in cellulose digestive systems among castes in two termite lineages

Abstract.  Termites (Isoptera) are eusocial insects and express polyphenism. Soldiers have specialized morphology for colony defense, but their feeding activity is dependent on other colony members. To determine differences in cellulose degradation between soldier and worker termites, enzymatic activity and cellulase gene expression, as well digestive tract histology, are examined in two phylogenetically distant species. In Hodotermopsis sjostesti (family Termopsidae) , endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity is identified in the salivary glands, whereas β-glucosidase activity is identified in salivary glands and hindgut. The relative expression levels of endo-β-1,4-glucanase genes in soldiers are significantly lower than in workers. Thin sections of salivary gland of workers and soldiers are different in H. sjostedti . In Nasutitermes takasagoensis (family Termitidae), the endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity is restricted to the midgut in four tested castes (i.e. three types of workers and soldier). Examination of activity per termite reveals the highest activity in minor workers and the lowest activity in major workers and soldiers. The β-glucosidase activity is also concentrated on the midgut in all four castes. The relative expression level of the endo-β-1,4-glucanase gene does not correspond with its activity in the midgut. In thin sections prepared from N. takasagoensis , the folds and pulvillus in the gizzards, and cuticle structure of soldiers are less developed compared with the other three worker castes. The differences in digestive system among termite castes in terms of caste development in each species are discussed.

几种脊椎动物宽频带心电图波形与心电向量环特点的比较

对小鼠、家鸽、蟾蜍、鲫鱼4种脊椎动物宽频带心电图Ⅱ导联的波形特点及QRS额面心电向量环的位置、形态特点进行了比较研究。结果发现,(1)宽频带心电图Ⅱ导联QRS波群小鼠、蟾蜍、鲫鱼QRS波群的主波均向上,而家鸽的主波向下;(2)QRS波群时程(ms)小鼠88±09,家鸽365±14,蟾蜍790±110,鲫鱼283±57;(3)QRS心电向量环的位置家鸽的位于-90°～-180°象限内,这是家鸽心电图Ⅱ导联QRS波群主波向下的根本原因;小鼠、蟾蜍、鲫鱼的均位于0°～90°象限内,与它们的QRS波群主波向上相一致;(4)QRS心电向量环的形状;小鼠的QRS向量环较其它3种动物的要大,蟾蜍的最小。鲫鱼的不规则,有的呈三角形,有的呈“8”字形,还有的呈半圆形,这是导致鲫鱼的QRS波群出现较多切迹和扭挫的原因。

南方鲇的营养学研究:饲料中大豆蛋白水平对消化率及摄食率的影响

以23.78±0.09g的南方鲇为实验对象,以Cr2O3作为测定饲料消化率的指示物,以大豆蛋白分别替代0%、13%、26%、39%、52%和65%的鱼粉蛋白,配制成6种等氮(粗蛋白48%)、等能(总能20KJ/g)的饲料,用于探讨饲料中大豆蛋白替代鱼粉蛋白的比例对南方鲇消化率及摄食率的影响。实验在27.5±0.02℃水温条件下进行6周,溶氧维持在5mg/L以上,光制为14L∶10D。结果表明,饲料中不同比例的鱼粉蛋白与大豆蛋白对南方鲇的消化率及摄食率均存在显著影响(P<0.05)。其中南方鲇对于物质、蛋白质、脂肪和能量的消化率随着大豆蛋白替代率的提高而逐步下降,当替代量为65%时,其消化率显著低于其余各组(P<0.05)。而南方鲇的摄食率均随着饲料中大豆粉添加量的升高而升高,当大豆蛋白替代鱼粉蛋白超过39%时,摄食率显著高于其余各组(P<0.05)。通过分析认为,消化率是限制南方鲇利用大豆粉的重要因素,而摄食率不是影响其利用率的主要原因。
