脐带间充质干细胞与再生障碍性贫血

再生障碍性贫血(aplastic anemia,AA)是由于物理、化学、生物或不明因素作用使骨髓造血干细胞和骨髓微环境严重受损,造成骨髓造血功能降低或衰竭,以全血细胞减少为主要表现的一组综合征。间充质干细胞(MSC)是属于中胚层的一类多能干细胞,主要存在于结缔组织和器官间质中。不仅具有多向分化潜能,还有多种免疫调节作用。许多研究表明MSCs抑制同种异体效应T淋巴细胞增殖,还能下调T淋巴细胞表面的活化分子CD25、CD38、CD69的表达。MSCs对DCs的分化、成熟和活化具有抑制作用,改变DCs的细胞因子分泌,使成熟的DCl分泌TNF-a减少,DC2分泌IL-10增加,从而抑制T淋巴细胞增殖。MSCs能够抑制IL-2和IL-15介导的NK细胞增殖,使IL-2刺激NK细胞分泌的IFN-y减少。通过这些机制来干预再生障碍性贫血,同时研究发现MSCs免疫原性较低。尤其脐带MSC,因为其独特优势,目前已经成为干细胞干预治疗AA的研究热点。

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers in Elliot's pheasant (Syrmaticus ellioti)

We isolated eight microsatellite loci from genomic DNA in Elliot's pheasant Syrmaticus ellioti using streptavidin‐coated magnetic beads. In the analyses of 53 individuals sampled, these loci displayed polymorphism varying from six to nine alleles per locus and observed heterozygosities ranging from 0.174 to 0.430. The results suggested that these novel microsatellite markers could become useful molecular tools for genetic studies of S. ellioti.     

实验动物建筑设施节能技术探讨

实验动物建筑设施的节能方案设计是制约设施建立与正常运行管理的关键因素。良好的节能措施包括优化屏障环境与IVC笼具工艺布局设计,有利于保证实验区空气质量、节省综合投资及提高设施3-5倍的利用率;采用变风量空调控制系统,可大大降低新风的热能耗,并使空调负荷减少约10%-50%新风量能耗;采用先进的中央空调智能节电系统（简称GL-CAC）,可实现中央空调辅机节电30%-60%、主机节电5%-20%的目标;优化卫生热水与消毒蒸汽设备工程可节约50%的投资及其运行费用;对设施系统运行实施科学管理,也可以节省人力资源与年度运行管理费用。     

小儿阵发性室上性心动过速37 例临床分析

目的:对比研究和评价不同方法治疗小儿阵发性室上性心动过速(PSVT)的的疗效,提高转复率。方法:回顾性分析2002.04-2011.05我院住院治疗的37例PSVT患儿的临床资料,并分析比较心律平与胺碘酮的药物转复率,构成比采用x2检验,α=0.05。结果:37例患儿中,13例治疗原发病后自动转率,24例患儿给予心律平治疗,其中1例放弃治疗,5例未见效,心律平转复率为69.77%,5例未见效患儿改用胺碘酮治疗,1例死于原发病,1例控制症状后行射频消融术治愈,胺碘酮转复率为75%,二者之间无显著差异性。结论:心律平与胺碘酮均能较好的治疗小儿PSVT,对于反复发作,药物治疗无效的小儿PSVT,射频消融术已成为最佳选择。     

小麦抗叶锈病近等基因系TcLr41 SSH文库构建与分析

以小麦抗叶锈病近等基因系TcLr41和感病亲本Thatcher的叶片cDNA分别作为试验方和驱动方,利用抑制差减杂交技术,构建了一个包含2544个克隆的差减文库。随机提取阳性克隆质粒DNA后经PCR检测,插入片段大部分集中在200～1000bp之间,证明所构建的文库符合要求。在功能已知的基因中,推测过氧化氢酶（catalasc）基因、抗秆锈病基因（rust resistance gene）、铜蓝结合蛋白（blue copper—binding protein）基因、锌指蛋白（ring zinc finger protein）基因、胁迫反应蛋白（stress responsive protein）基因等可能是TcLr41中抗病相关差异表达基因。     

Isolation and characterization of 16 tetranucleotide microsatellite loci in the red panda (Ailurus fulgens)

A total of 15 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite loci in the red panda, Ailurus fulgens, were characterized in this study. Based on evaluations of 33 red pandas, the number of observed alleles for each locus ranged from seven to 17 and the expected and observed heterozygosities were 0.412–0.897 and 0.121–0.909, respectively. The mean polymorphic information content was 0.721. These markers would greatly strengthen the utilization of microsatellite tools in genetic variation studies in red panda populations.

Driving forces shaping phytoplankton assemblages in two subtropical plateau lakes with contrasting trophic status

1. We studied driving forces shaping phytoplankton assemblages in two subtropical plateau lakes with contrasting trophic status, the oligotrophic deep Lake Fuxian and the eutrophic shallow Lake Xingyun. 2. Phytoplankton samples were taken monthly for a year and phytoplankton species were sorted into the main taxonomic groups and associations proposed by Reynolds. A canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was used to test the occurrence of these classification schemes and to determine their discriminatory power. 3. The results suggest that the major driving forces in Lake Fuxian were physical variables, and particularly the underwater light climate, whereas, nutrients were the important driving force in Lake Xingyun. 4. Top–down control through zooplankton grazing in Lake Fuxian was hardly ever a significant determinant itself, because of the scarcity of zooplankton and their low grazing efficiency of predation while a dominance of inedible cyanobacteria throughout the year rendered top–down controls ineffective failing in Lake Xingyun. Hence phytoplankton communities in both lakes appear to be regulated primarily by bottom–up controls.
