浙江分水江水库大型底栖动物群落结构及水质评价

2008年11月-2009年10月,在浙江桐庐分水江水库设置7个站点对大型底栖动物进行逐月调查.结果表明:调查共采集到37种底栖动物,主要由寡毛纲和摇蚊科物种组成.春、夏、秋季优势种均为霍甫水丝蚓,冬季优势种为羽摇蚊.直接收集者在物种数量、密度和生物量上均占绝对优势.群落年均密度和年均生物量分别为(488.0±48.8) ind·m-2和(1.86±0.49) g·m-2.底栖动物密度在站点间无明显差异但存在显著的季节变化,呈现春季＞夏季＞冬季＞秋季的趋势,生物量在站点、季节间均无显著差异.水温和水深是影响底栖动物时空分布的主要因子.Shannon多样性指数和Goodnight-Whitley指数不适合用于该水库的水质评价,其他指数综合显示分水江水库属于轻度污染.     

Identification of novel allosteric inhibitors of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 by cross docking-based virtual screening

IDH1 mutation (mIDH1) occurs in 20–30% of gliomas and is a promising target for the cancer therapy. In this article, a cross docking-based virtual screening was employed to identify seven small molecules for the allosteric site of mIDH1. Compounds ZX01, ZX05 and ZX06 exhibited the potent inhibitory activity and the high selectivity against WT-IDH1, providing a good starting point for the further development of highly selective mIDH1 inhibitors. Importantly, the parallel artificial membrane permeation assay of the blood-brain barrier (PAMPA-BBB) identified ZX06 with a good ability to penetrate BBB. These findings indicate that ZX06 deserves further optimization as a lead compound for the treatment of patients with IDH1 mutated brain cancers.     

Optimization of 5-arylidene barbiturates as potent,selective, reversible LSD1 inhibitors for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia

Histone lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in diverse hematologic disorders and recognized as a promising target for blood medicines. In this study, molecular docking-based virtual screening united with bioevaluation was utilized to identify novel skeleton of 5-arylidene barbiturate as small-molecule inhibitors of LSD1. Among the synthesized derivatives, 12a exhibited reversible and potent inhibition (IC₅₀?=?0.41?μM) and high selectivity over the MAO-A and MAO-B. Notably, 12a strongly induced differentiation effect on acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cell line and distinctly escalated the methylation level on histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Our findings indicate that 5-arylidene barbiturate may represent a new skeleton of LSD1 inhibitors and 12a deserve as a promising agent for the further research.     

Genetic map of 16 polymorphic markers forming three linkage groups assigned to rat Chromosome 4

Sixteen polymorphic markers, including markers for eight new loci, forming three linkage groups, were assigned to rat Chromosome (Chr) 4 by linkage analysis of the progeny of an F₂ intercross of Fischer (F344/N) and Lewis (LEW/N) inbred rats. One gene, Igk, was mapped by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. One marker for Tcrb was identified by the polymorphic insertion of a repetitive LINE element. The remaining 14 markers contained polymorphic simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Ten were identified in genes (Tgfa, Npy, Prss1, Prss2, Aldr1, Iapp, Prp, Eno2, Cacnlla1, and Il6), one was identified in a sequence related to a gene (Egr4l1), and three were identified in anonymous DNA segments. The SSR markers were highly polymorphic in 16 inbred rat strains. These markers expand the genetic map of the rat and should be useful in future genetic studies of inbred rats.     

Relationship between photochemical reflectance index with multi-angle hyper-spectrum and light use efficiency in urban green-land ecosystems北大核心CSCD

Aims: Light-use efficiency (LUE) is one of critical parameters in the terrestrial ecosystem production studies. Accurate determination of LUE is very important for LUE models to simulate gross primary productivity (GPP) at regional and global scales. We used eddy covariance technique measurement and tower-based, multi-angular spectro-radiometer observations in autumn 2012 to explore the relationship between bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) corrected photochemical reflectance index (PRI) and LUE in different phenology and environment conditions in urban green-land ecosystems. Methods: Using the eddy covariance technique, we estimated the temporal changes in GPP during the autumn 2012 over Beijing Olympic Forest Park. LUE was calculated as the ratio of GPP to the difference between incoming photosynthetically active radiation (PA R) and PA R reflected from the canopy. Daily PRI values were averaged from the BRDF using semi-empirical kernel driven models. The absolute greenness index (2G-RB) was made by webcam at a constant view zenith and view azimuth angle at solar noon. The logistic function was used to fit the time series of the greenness index. The onset of phonological stages was defined as the point when the curvature reached its maximum value. Important findings: Webcamera-observed greenness index (2G-RB) showed a decreasing trend. There was a highly significant relationship between 2G-RB and air temperature (R2 = 0.60, p < 0.001). This demonstrates that air temperature is the main driving factor to determine the phenology. PRI estimated from multi-angle hyper-spectrum can estimate LUE in urban green-land ecosystems in vigorous photosynthetic period. The correlation was the strongest (R2 = 0.70, p < 0.001) in the peak photosynthetic period. PRI relates better to LUE under high temperature (>15°C) with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) (>700 Pa) and high PAR (>300 μmol·m-2·s-1). The LUE was up-scaled to landscape/regional scales based on these relationships and phenology. It can also be used for the estimation of GPP of urban green-land with high accuracy.
