涠洲岛海域球形棕囊藻藻华过程中营养盐及浮游植物群落组成分析

球形棕囊藻(Phaeocystis globosa)是近年来北部湾常见的有害藻华原因种,涠洲岛海域作为广西沿海藻华的高发区之一,目前仍缺乏关于该海域球形棕囊藻藻华过程的相关研究。为探究涠洲岛海域球形棕囊藻藻华过程中营养盐的状况及藻华的发生对浮游植物群落组成的影响,对2017年3月下旬涠洲岛周边发生的球形棕囊藻藻华区域进行取样调查。结果表明,藻华期间水体中溶解有机磷含量与细胞及囊体密度呈显著正相关。本次藻华主要受水体中溶解态无机氮含量影响,多个调查站点的无机氮/无机磷(DIN/DIP)<10,且硅酸盐/无机氮(SiO₃^2–/DIN)>1,表明这些站点存在氮限制现象,而氮限制可能是本次藻华消亡的主要因素。调查区域共鉴定出浮游植物4门58种,球形棕囊藻细胞密度最高可达1.04×10⁸ cells/L,占浮游植物总细胞密度的98.28%。球形棕囊藻细胞密度与物种多样性指数存在显著的负相关关系。在营养缺乏条件下,有利于球形棕囊藻成囊的链状硅藻种类具有相对较大的细胞密度。

Polymerization of the Tryptophanyl tRNA Synthetase Complex with Tryptophan

To understand the mechanism of mutual recognition between aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (EC 6.1.1) and tRNAs, it is important to obtain more information about the structure of these enzymes. X-ray crystallography offers one approach, but although several aminoacyl tRNA synthetases have been isolated in very pure form¹ and crystallization of tryptophanyl² and seryl³ tRNA synthetases has been reported, no crystals were available that were suitable for structural analysis. Only very recently have Rymo and Lagerkvist⁴ described the formation of crystals of yeast lysyl tRNA synthetase which are apparently suitable for further X-ray analysis. Here we deal with the phenomenon of polymerization of the tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase complex with tryptophan in the form of rod-like particles and the subsequent formation of para-crystalline aggregates.

Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci for the critically endangered crested ibis,Nipponia nippon (Ciconiiformes: Threskiornithidae)

The Chinese crested ibis, Nipponia nippon, is a critically endangered bird. The current population of this species has developed from four wild individuals rediscovered in 1981. Given its conservation status, there is considerable interest in assessing the genetic diversity and individual relatedness in this species. For this purpose, a set of eight polymorphic di‐ or trinucleotide microsatellite loci was developed for the crested ibis. The expected heterozygosity at these loci ranges from 0.01 to 0.50, with less than four alleles being observed at individual loci, a reflection of the serious population bottleneck experienced by this species.     

A Pin gene families encoding components of auxin efflux carriers in Brassica juncea

Based on the sequence information of Arabidopsis PIN1, two cDNAs encoding PIN homologues from Brassica juncea, Bjpin2 and Bjpin3, were isolated through cDNA library screening. Bjpin2 and Bjpin3 encoded proteins containing 640 and 635 amino acid residues, respectively, which shared 97.5% identities with each other and were highly homologous to Arabidopsis PIN1, PIN2 and other putative PIN proteins. BJPIN2 and BjPIN3 had similar structures as AtPIN proteins. Northern blot analysis indicated that Bjpin2 was expressed in stem, leaf and floral tissues, while Bjpin3 was expressed predominantly in stem and hypocotyls. Two promoter fragments of pin genes, Bjpin-X and Bjpin-Z, were isolated by 'genome walking' technique using primers at 5'-end of pin cDNA. Promoter-gus fusion studies revealed the GUS activities driven by Bjpin-X were at internal side of xylem and petal; while those driven by Bjpin-Z were detected at leaf vein, epidermal cell and cortex of stem, vascular tissues and anther.

血清NGF、BDNF、GFAP水平与老年血管性痴呆严重程度的相关性分析

目的:探讨血清神经生长因子(Nerve Growth Factor,NGF)、脑源性神经营养因子(Brain Derived Neural Nutrition Factor, BDNF)、胶质纤维酸性蛋白(Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein,GFAP)水平与老年血管性痴呆严重程度的相关性。方法:选择我院2016年1月至2018年12月收治的81例老年血管性痴呆患者,根据简易精神状态检查表(MMES)评分将其分为三组,以MMSE评分21～26分者为轻度组(26例),10～20分者为中度组(28例),0～9分者为重度组(27例),同时选择来院体检的50例健康者作为对照组,检测和比较各组的血清NGF、BDNF、GFAP水平,分析血清NGF、BDNF、GFAP水平与老年血管性痴呆患者MMSE分值的相关性。结果:老年血管性痴呆者的血清NGF、GFAP水平明显高于对照组(P0.05),血清BDNF水平明显低于对照组(P0.05)。轻度组、中度组、重度组的血清NGF、GFAP、BDNF水平对比差异均有统计学意义(P0.05):NGF水平:轻度组中度组重度组,BDNF水平:轻度组中度组重度组;GFAP水平:轻度组中度组重度组。血清NGF、BDNF水平与MMSE分值评分呈显著正相关(r_1=0.652,r_2=0.671,P0.05),血清GFAP水平与MMSE分值呈显著负相关(r3=-0.681,P0.05)。结论:血清NGF、BDNF、GFAP水平均与老年血管性痴呆的严重程度密切相关,可能用于评估老年血管性痴呆病情的严重程度。     

高危型HPV和L1壳蛋白与宫颈病变关系的研究进展

宫颈病变是女性最常见的疾病之一,是多种因素共同作用的结果。宫颈癌及癌前病变的发生、发展是一个多因素、多步骤的复杂过程,多种基因的改变引发细胞的增殖失控。大量资料表明高危型人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染是宫颈病变的主要危险因素,其中HPV16、18型感染占了绝大部分。HPV整合状态与宫颈病变程度密切相关,人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)L1壳蛋白为免疫杀伤HPV病毒的主要靶位,L1蛋白的表达有利于激发人体细胞免疫,清除感染的细胞。HPV感染机体且病毒处于复制阶段时L蛋白才在机体中表达,但是当HPV病毒DNA与宿主细胞基因整合后,L1壳蛋白将不表达,无法形成一系列免疫反应,引发宫颈癌。HPV L1壳蛋白的表达缺失与宫颈病变的进展密切相关。本文对高危型HPV与HPV L1壳蛋白在宫颈病变中的研究进展作一综述。
