灰木莲生长对土壤养分和气候因子的响应

对原产地越南以及我国多个引种地的灰木莲的树高和胸径生长特征进行研究,分析了灰木莲生长对土壤养分和气候因子的响应.结果表明: 不同种植地灰木莲的树高和胸径年均生长量差异显著.灰木莲胸径和树高的年均生长量与土壤全N、全P、速效N、速效P含量呈显著正相关,而与土壤有机质、全K、速效K含量相关性不显著,表明土壤N、P含量是影响灰木莲生长的主要养分因子.不同海拔灰木莲树高年均生长量差异显著,而胸径无显著差异.海拔为150～550 m,树高年均生长量随海拔升高而增大,在海拔550 m处达到最大,随后降低,表明海拔550 m为灰木莲引种的最适海拔.灰木莲树高和胸径的年均生长量与年均温、≥10 ℃积温呈显著负相关,与年降雨量呈显著正相关,表明年均温、≥10 ℃积温和降雨量是影响灰木莲生长的主要气候因子.     

血管内皮生长因子特异性鼠源单链抗体的人源化

以抗体阻断血管生成信号来治疗实体肿瘤显示了很好的前景,但鼠源抗体首先必须经人源化改造以降低其免疫原性才能应用于人体。本研究以同源模建预测了一体人血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）特异性鼠源单链抗体E11的三维结构,以结构数据为基础并采取单个最相似框架区替代法对其进行人源化设计;合成并组装了人源化单链抗体基因并在大肠杆菌中表达,包含体形式的产物以凝胶柱色谱法复性,经ELISA检测表明,人源化后的单链抗体保持了与天然VEGF结合的活性,表明采取的人源化路线具有可行性。

铅对大鼠海马神经细胞H-电流特性的影响

应用全细胞膜片钳技术研究了铅对大鼠海马神经细胞H－电流特性的影响。结果表明：铅抑制了H－电流表达;降低了H－通道电压敏感性和升高了H－通道的激活电压。铅对H－电流的压抑效应有其对H－通道电压敏感性的改变,是铅损伤神经活动的一个因素之一。     

建立胃癌实验动物模型方法的研究

目的通过对人低分化胃癌细胞系SGC-7901状态和接种细胞数目的研究,建立良好的皮下接种胃癌的动物模型。方法采用腹腔注射SGC-7901细胞,使裸鼠形成腹水;光镜及电镜观察细胞状态;将购买的SGC-7901细胞以及形成腹水后的肿瘤细胞分别以1×108、1×107和1×106个进行裸鼠皮下接种,每组接种5只。观察其肿瘤形成时间、大小、状态及病理学变化。结果SGC-7901细胞接种裸鼠形成腹水后进行培养的肿瘤细胞增殖状态发生改变;购买的SGC-7901细胞以1×108及1×107接种裸鼠,在第21天肿瘤组织中央均出现出血和坏死;1×106的裸鼠第21天未见肉眼可见的肿瘤形成。腹水培养的肿瘤细胞,接种1×108的裸鼠在第21天肿瘤组织中央可见大面积的出血和坏死;接种1×107及1×106的裸鼠在第21天均未见出血和坏死,接种1×107的肿瘤组织体积较大。结论SGC-7901细胞接种裸鼠形成腹水后的细胞,更容易建立SGC-7901细胞皮下接种的胃癌动物模型,其中以接种细胞数为1×107的肿瘤生长较好,更适用于胃癌的实验研究。

Effect of Human WEE1 and Stem Cell Factor on Human CD34^＋ Umbilical Cord Blood Cell Damage Induced by Chemotherapeutic Agents

Myelosuppression is one of the major side-effects of most anticancer drugs. To achieve myeloprotection, one bicistronic vector encoding anti-apoptotic protein human WEE l （WEElHu） and proliferation-stimulating stem cell factor （SCF） was generated. In this study, we selected human umbilical cord blood CD34^＋ cells as the in vitro model in an attempt to investigate whether WEEIHu, rather than conventional drug-resistant genes, can be introduced to rescue cells from the damage by chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, adriamycin, mitomycin-c and 5-fluorouracil. Cell viability and cytotoxicity assay, colony-forming units in culture assay and externalization of phospholipid phosphatidylserine analysis showed that the expression of WEElHu and SCF in CD34^＋ cells provided the cells with some protection. These findings suggest that the expression of WEElHu and SCF might rescue CD34^＋ cells from chemotherapyinduced myelosuppression.     

Proteomic characterization and functional analysis of outer membrane vesicles of Francisella novicida suggests possible role in virulence and use as a vaccine

We have isolated and characterized outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Francisella. Transport of effector molecules through secretion systems is a major mechanism by which Francisella tularensis alters the extracellular proteome and interacts with the host during infection. Outer membrane vesicles produced by Francisella were examined using TEM and AFM and found to be 43-125 nm in size, representing another potential mechanism for altering the extracellular environment. A proteomic analysis (LC-MS/MS) of OMVs from F. novicida and F. philomiragia identified 416 (F. novicida) and 238 (F. philomiragia) different proteins, demonstrating that OMVs are an important contributor to the extracellular proteome. Many of the identified OMV proteins have a demonstrated role in Francisella pathogenesis. Biochemical assays demonstrated that Francisella OMVs possess acid phosphatase and hemolytic activities that may affect host cells during infection, and are cytotoxic toward murine macrophages in cell culture. OMVs have been previously used as a human vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis . We hypothesized that Francisella OMVs could be useful as a novel Francisella vaccine. Vaccinated BALB/C mice challenged with up to 50 LD50 of Francisella showed statistically significant protection when compared to control mice. In the context of these new findings, we discuss the relevance of OMVs in Francisella pathogenesis as well as their potential use as a vaccine.
