高压静电场对绵羊精子存活率的影响

采用不同剂量的高压静电场处理绵羊精液,经分析发现,高压静电场对绵羊精具有激活作用。能提高绵羊精液品质,表现在适当剂量的高压静电场能显著地提高绵羊精子存活率,其中以６００ｋＶ／ｍ剂量处理效果最佳。１００ｋＶ／ｍ和３００ｋＶ／ｍ剂量对精子刺激不足,而９００ｋＶ／ｍ剂量则对精子刺激过程,导致部分精子损伤和死亡,同样达不到预期的效果。     

脱落酸对植物线粒体膜生物物理特性的影响

采用１,６－二苯基－１,３,５－已三乙烯（ＤＰＨ）荧光偏振法和中性红法分别研究了脱落酸（ＡＢＡ）对玉米黄化芽及大豆子叶离体线粒体膜的微粘度（η）、表面电位（ψ）等生物物理特性的影响。结果表明：ＡＢＡ有降低线粒体膜的微粘度及提高线粒体膜的表面电位作用,并导致呼吸速率升高,呼吸控制和氧化磷酸化偶联下降。ＡＢＡ对线粒体膜微粘度的作用具有浓度饱和效应;ＡＢＡ对线粒体膜表面电位的提高作用,因植物不同而有差异,对玉米的作用要大于对大豆的。追踪线粒体Ａ（３５０）值的变化,还证实,ＡＢＡ提高了大豆线粒体的Ａ（３５０）值,即导致大豆线粒体的相互聚集（ａｇｇｒｅｇａｔｉｏｎ）。

内皮素－1对缺氧肺动脉平滑肌细胞的增殖作用

内皮素（ＥＴ）是至今所发现的最强的内源性血管收缩肽,近年来发现ＥＴ－１能促进血管平滑肌细胞增殖。本研究表明ＥＴ－１对缺氧培养的肺动脉平滑肌细胞（ＰＡＳＭＣ）有剂量依赖的增殖作用,缺氧可促进ＰＡＳＭＣ的ＤＮＡ合成且增加ＥＴ－１的丝裂原作用。ＥＴ－１的丝裂原作用主要由其Ａ型受体（ＥＴＲ＿Ａ）所介导,ＥＴＲ＿Ａ的特异拮抗剂ＢＱ１２３可显著抑制缺氧以及缺氧与ＥＴ－１协同所产生的增殖作用,而且发现ＥＴＲ＿Ａ在缺氧培养的ＰＡＳＭＣ中的表达显著高于常氧对照组ＰＡＳＭＣ。本研究表明ＥＴ－１参与了缺氧性肺动脉结构重组,而缺氧可增强ＰＡＳＭＣ对ＥＴ－１的增殖反应性。     

损毁和刺激垂体对大鼠痛阈的影响

采用局限性损毁和刺激垂体的方法,以行为测痛为指标,观察大鼠垂体在痛觉调节中的作用以及地塞米松（Ｄｅｘ）对其影响。实验结果显示,损毁垂体中间叶（ＩＬ）及邻近的前叶（ＡＬ）,大鼠痛阈明显低于手术前的痛阈（Ｐ＜０．０１）。电刺激垂体的上述同样部位,大鼠痛阈明显高于手术基础值及自身假刺激值（Ｐ＜０．００１）。经Ｄｅｘ处理的动物,电刺激垂体不再引起痛阈升高。结果表明,大鼠垂体ＩＬ及靠近ＡＬ与痛调节有关,这种     

Stereochemical control of yeast reductions. 2. Quantitative treatment of the kinetics of competing enzyme systems for a single substrate

Quantitative expressions have been developed for systems such as yeast reductions where competing enzymes act on one substrate to yield two enantiomeric products. These expressions relate the observed stereochemical variables, the extent of conversion (C), the optical purity expressed as enantiomeric excess (ee), and the initial substrate concentration (A₀) to the kinetic parameters K_R and K_S (apparent Michaelis constants) and y ($\text{V}{}_{\mathrm{R}}\text{V}{}_{\mathrm{S}}$, the ratio of maximal velocities) of such competing enzymes. The expressions have been experimentally verified using a purified competing enzyme system of l- and d-lactic dehydrogenases. Furthermore, the enantioselective reduction of β-keto esters by intact yeast cells has been examined by means of this kinetic analysis.     

被子植物系统发育研究的现状与展望

为植物界最大的类群—被子植物建立一个能真正反映植物的进化历史和系统发育（phylogeny）的分类系统一直是许多植物系统学家和进化学家所向往的。到目前为止,已经提出的被子植物分类系统至少有二十多个。问题在于这样的分类系统能否说已符合于系统发育的要求？要回答这个问题,首先必须弄清系统发育的真正含义是什么。     

Bilayer orientation of membrane-bound NH2 groups across microsomal vesicles and their role in the function of gastric K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase

The transversal distribution of the free NH₂ groups associated with phosphatidyl ethanolamine and the intrinsic membrane proteins of the purified pig gastric microsomes was quantitated and their relations to the function of the gastric K⁺-stimulated ATPase was investigated. Three different chemical probes such as 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS), 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB), and 2-methoxy-2,4-diphenyl-3(2H)-furanone (MDPF) were used for the study. The structure-function relationship of the membrane NH₂ groups was studied after modification with the probes under various conditions and relating the inhibition of the K⁺-stimulated ATPase to the ATPase-dependent H⁺ accumulation by the gastric microsomal vesicles. TNBS (2 mm) inhibits nearly completely the K⁺-stimulated ATPase and the vesicular dye accumulation, both in presence and absence of valinomycin plus K⁺. Both the K⁺-ATPase and dye uptake were largely (about 50%) protected against TNBS inhibition if the treatment with TNBS was carried out in presence of 2 mm ATP. TNBS and FDNB labeled 70% of the total microsomal PE; the intra- and extravesicular orientation being 48 and 22%, respectively. The presence or absence of ATP did not have any effect on the TNBS labeling of microsomal PE. ATP, however, significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the labeling of protein-bound NH₂ groups of gastric microsomes by TNBS. The intra- and extravesicular orientation of the protein NH₂ groups were 60 and 40%, respectively. Eighteen percent of the total protein-NH₂ appeared to be associated with the K⁺-stimulated ATPase; the rest being associated with non-ATPase proteins of the microsomes. About half (50%) of the total free NH₂ groups of the K⁺-stimulated ATPase were exposed to the vesicle exterior and were found to play critical roles in gastric ATPase function. The generation of florescence after MDPF conjugation of gastric microsomes was largely (50%) inhibited by ATP. ATP also protected completely the MDPF inhibition of gastric K⁺-stimulated ATPase and dye uptake.
