早产儿生命早期肠道菌群的建立及其相关疾病研究进展

肠道菌群是一个数量庞大且种类复杂的微生物群落, 是人类的“第二基因组”, 同时又是一个被遗忘的“器官”, 参与调控宿主生理及病理过程。随着检测技术的不断提高, 肠道菌群的研究已经成为了热点, 其与各个系统疾病关系的研究也不断深入。生命早期(包括胎儿期和婴幼儿期)是婴幼儿尤其是早产儿肠道菌群定植及演替的主要阶段, 具备动态变化的特征, 且易受多种因素的影响, 主要包括剖宫产、母乳喂养减少和抗生素使用。这些因素可能会扰乱生命早期肠道菌群分布, 进而影响人类宿主近期或远期健康状况。本文就早产儿生命早期肠道菌群的建立、影响因素及其与疾病关系的研究进展作一综述。

澳门九澳山海滨群落10种植物盛花期物候对极端气候事件的响应

为探究极端气候事件对植物的影响,对澳门九澳山海滨群落10种植物2012-2017年盛花期物候进行了观察。结果表明,植物的盛花期一般在3-9月,其中有4种植物为5月。2013和2016年早春澳门的极端强降水使植物的盛花期出现了明显的提前或者推迟。9种植物的盛花期与盛花期前0～2个月和上一年的秋冬季的月均温度或月降水存在显著相关性。温度和降水对植物盛花期的影响差异不大,但晚花植物对降水更加敏感。这为澳门和邻近岛屿的生态恢复和园林树种选材提供参考。     

The significance of controlled conditions in lentiviral vector titration and in the use of multiplicity of infection (MOI) for predicting gene transfer events

BACKGROUND: Although lentiviral vectors have been widely used for in vitro and in vivo gene therapy researches, there have been few studies systematically examining various conditions that may affect the determination of the number of viable vector particles in a vector preparation and the use of Multiplicity of Infection (MOI) as a parameter for the prediction of gene transfer events. METHODS: Lentiviral vectors encoding a marker gene were packaged and supernatants concentrated. The number of viable vector particles was determined by in vitro transduction and fluorescent microscopy and FACs analyses. Various factors that may affect the transduction process, such as vector inoculum volume, target cell number and type, vector decay, variable vector - target cell contact and adsorption periods were studied. MOI between 0-32 was assessed on commonly used cell lines as well as a new cell line. RESULTS: We demonstrated that the resulting values of lentiviral vector titre varied with changes of conditions in the transduction process, including inoculum volume of the vector, the type and number of target cells, vector stability and the length of period of the vector adsorption to target cells. Vector inoculum and the number of target cells determine the frequencies of gene transfer event, although not proportionally. Vector exposure time to target cells also influenced transduction results. Varying these parameters resulted in a greater than 50-fold differences in the vector titre from the same vector stock. Commonly used cell lines in vector titration were less sensitive to lentiviral vector-mediated gene transfer than a new cell line, FRL 19. Within 0-32 of MOI used transducing four different cell lines, the higher the MOI applied, the higher the efficiency of gene transfer obtained. CONCLUSION: Several variables in the transduction process affected in in vitro vector titration and resulted in vastly different values from the same vector stock, thus complicating the use of MOI for predicting gene transfer events. Commonly used target cell lines underestimated vector titre. However, within a certain range of MOI, it is possible that, if strictly controlled conditions are observed in the vector titration process, including the use of a sensitive cell line, such as FRL 19 for vector titration, lentivector-mediated gene transfer events could be predicted.     

亚硫酸钠和亚硫酸氢钠混合液对2种云杉某些生理指标影响的比较

八年生嫩江云杉和红皮云杉苗木,经喷施20、50、100mmol·L-1Na2SO3和NaHSO3(摩尔浓度为3:1)的混合液后第3、11、20天测定多个生理指标的结果显示,喷后第3天,2种云杉的净光合速率(Pn),光系统II(PSII)的最大光能转换效率(Fv/Fm),光化学量子效率(ΦPSII),叶绿素a(Chla)、叶绿素b(Chlb)和类胡萝卜素含量均下降;相对电导率上升;苗木受到胁迫的程度随着Na2SO3和NaHSO3混合液浓度的提高而增大。喷后第8~20天各种生理指标开始恢复。气孔导度(Gs)和胞间CO2浓度(Ci)变化不显著。红皮云杉对胁迫的敏感度高于嫩江云杉,但其在重度胁迫后的修复能力强于嫩江云杉。

Low testosterone levels are inversely correlated with carotid artery plaque formation in elderly women

Objective To study the relationship between serum testosterone levels and the plaque formation of the carotid artery in a population-based cohort of independently living healthy women above 60 years of age. Methods Analysis of the healthy elders from a population-based cohort study in 9 communities of Beijing. Carotid intima-media thickness and atherosclerotic plaques were determined ultrasonographically. Serum testosterone levels were measured by immunoassay. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and logistic regression analysis. Results There was an inverse correlation between testosterone and plaque formation in old females（P〈0.01）, while no association was found in males. Female with testosterone levels in the lowest quartile （〈0.49 nmol/L） had more risk of plaque formation（OR=3.805, P〈0.01） after adjusted with age and other traditional factors of atherosclerosis. Conclusion Testosterone concentrations are negatively associated with carotid artery atherosclerosis in old women in Beijing, experimental and prospective studies are needed to determine the possible therapeutic role of testosterone in atherosclerosis.     

定量分析丝氨酸/甘氨酸转换影响胃癌细胞增殖的动力学机制

目的 胃癌（GC）严重影响人类的健康生活,研究表明其与丝氨酸/甘氨酸代谢密切相关。丝氨酸/甘氨酸代谢对于肿瘤细胞的增殖能力具有重要影响。本文的研究目的是探究丝氨酸/甘氨酸代谢能够影响胃癌细胞增殖能力的分子机制。方法 本文通过一种基于随机和非梯度系统的势能景观所建立的大型代谢网络动力学建模方法,构建了一个稳定的胃癌细胞代谢动力学模型。基于对模型的调控,定量分析丝氨酸/甘氨酸代谢影响胃癌细胞增殖的动力学机制。对一般代谢网络动力学方程添加随机噪声,通过随机动力学分解得到代谢网络参数空间的李雅普诺夫（Lyapunov）函数。进一步减少与随机波动相关的Lyapunov函数变化,从而得到稳定的代谢网络。结果 在动力学参数不足的情况下,成功构建了胃癌细胞代谢网络的动力学模型。当胞外丝氨酸可用时,模型优先消耗丝氨酸;当甘氨酸生成丝氨酸的速率增加时,模型显著上调生成S-腺苷甲硫氨酸（SAM）和S-腺苷同型半胱氨酸（SAH）的稳态通量。结论 本文证明了胃癌细胞对于丝氨酸的优先摄取以及丝氨酸/甘氨酸转化速率对SAM生成的重要作用,其可能通过调节细胞甲基化进程影响胃癌细胞的增殖能力,为靶向丝氨酸/甘氨酸代谢的癌症治疗提供了新的思路和方向。
