孕烯酮硫酸酯对大脑皮层锥体神经元延迟整流型K^＋通道的影响

本文用膜片箝技术研究了孕烯酮硫酸醌对大脑皮层锥体神经元膜４８ｐＳ延迟整流型钾通道开放概率和平均开放时间的影响。在加入ＰＳ后４０ｓ,即可观察到ＩＫ通道的开放概率增大,平均开放时间延长,表明ＰＳ加强ＩＫ通道的活动。在浓度为３００－１００μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的范围内,其增大程度与ＰＳ的浓度呈正相关,但ＰＳ不影响通道的电流幅度。     

基于能值-生态足迹模型的东北老工业基地生态安全评价——以辽宁省为例

采用能值-生态足迹模型,对辽宁省2003—2012年生态安全状况进行时间序列的定量分析与评价,并采用灰色动力学模型预测其动态变化趋势.结果表明: 研究期内辽宁省人均能值生态承载力从3.13 hm²下降到3.07 hm²,人均能值生态足迹由13.88 hm²增加到21.96 hm²,处于生态赤字状态,且赤字增大趋势明显;生态压力指数由4.43增长到7.16,生态安全预警等级由轻警过渡到中警程度.照此发展,2013—2022年辽宁省人均能值生态承载力将由3.04 hm²下降到2.98 hm²,人均能值生态足迹将由22.72 hm²上升到35.87 hm²;生态赤字将越来越大,生态压力指数将由7.46上升到12.04,生态安全等级将由较安全变为轻度不安全状态,并呈现由中警到重警的生态安全预警等级,生态安全问题亟待解决.     

Microsatellite analysis of the genetic relationships between wild and cultivated giant grouper in the South China Sea

The giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) is a coral fish with high commercial value in Southeast Asia. In the present study, we isolated 11 microsatellite DNA markers, and analysed the genetic diversity and differentiation between cultured stocks and wild populations of the giant grouper originating from the South China Sea. A total of 390 alleles at 11 microsatellite loci were detected in 130 individuals from five different populations. The expected heterozygosity varied from 0.131 to 0.855 with a mean value of 0.623 and the observed heterozygosity varied from 0.145 to 0.869 with a mean value of 0.379. The allelic richness and heterozygosity studies revealed that the genetic diversity of the cultured population was significantly reduced when compared with that of the wild population. The F_is, pairwise F_st values, analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), three-dimensional factorial correspondence analysis and structure analysis revealed significant population differentiation between the cultured stocks and the wild populations, among the three cultured populations and between the two wild populations. These differences may be caused by random genetic drift, the effects of artificial selection and founder effects. Our results will be useful in the management of cultured stocks and conservation of wild populations of the giant grouper.     

Genomewide analysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">MATE</Emphasis>-type gene family in maize reveals microsynteny and their expression patterns under aluminum treatment

Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) proteins are a group of secondary active transporters, which widely exist in all living organisms and play important role in the detoxication of endogenous secondary metabolites and exogenous agents. However, to date, no systematic and comprehensive study of this family is reported in maize. Here, a total of 49 MATE genes (ZmMATE) were identified and divided into seven groups by phylogenetic analysis. Conserved intro–exon structures and motif compositions were investigated in these genes. Results by gene locations indicated that these genes were unevenly distributed among all 10 chromosomes. Tandem and segmental duplications appeared to contribute to the expansion and evolution of this gene family. The K_a/ K_s ratios suggested that the ZmMATE has undergone large-scale purifying selection on the maize genome. Interspecies microsynteny analysis revealed that there were independent gene duplication events of 10 ZmMATE. In addition, most maize MATE genes exhibited different expression profiles in diverse tissues and developmental stages. Sixteen MATE genes were chosen for further quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed differential expression patterns in response to aluminum treatment. These results provide a useful clue for future studies on the identification of MATE genes and functional analysis of MATE proteins in maize.     

家蝇对二氯苯醚菊酯的抗性及增效磷的增效作用Ⅱ:氧化代谢

氧化代谢的增强是引起家蝇对二氯苯醚菊酯产生抗性的因素之一.抗性家蝇多功能氧化酶的萘羟化活性、对二氯苯醚菊酯的氧化代谢能力和微粒体细胞色素P₄₅₀含量分别是正常家蝇的2、1.48、1.33倍.正常家蝇和抗性家蝇细胞色素P₄₅₀在对增效磷(SV₁)和氧化胡椒基丁醚(Pb)的敏感性上也存在着差异.SV₁与多功能氧化酶专一性抑制剂Pb一样,对该酶系催化的萘羟化活性及二氯苯醚菊酯的氧化代谢有明显的抑制作用,这种抑制作用是SV₁在家蝇体内对二氯苯醚菊酯增效的机理之一.SV₁对氧化代谢的抑制与它和微粒体细胞色素P₄₅₀相互作用形成非活性复合体有关.     

中国兽类标本收藏概略

兽类标本收藏是兽类学的基础,直接关系到兽类学以及分类学、生态学、动物地理学、形态学、古生物学与进化、考古学等领域的进展。在旧中国,由于当时国内兽类学基本上是个空白领域,只有极个别研究机构及少数学校保存了少量标本,亦由于几经动乱,到新中国成立之时,已所剩无几。新中国建立以后,兽类学在中国才得到真正的发展。三十余年来,随着研究机构和高等学校的陆续建立和兽类调查研究工作的不断开展,兽类标本迅速发展,至今已初具规模。     

类产碱假单胞菌谷氨酸脱氢酶的提纯、鉴定及某些特性的初步研究

从类产碱假单胞菌纯化出电泳纯的谷氨酸脱氢酶,用聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳和ＳＤＳ－聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳测得分子量为２９０ ｋＤ,亚基分子量为４７ ｋＤ,提示该酶为六聚体．该酶对ＮＡＤＰ（Ｈ）和底物均具有高度专一性,对谷氨酸、α－酮戊二酸及ＮＡＤＰ＋ 的Ｋｍ 值分别为：２８ ｍ ｍ ｏｌ／Ｌ、１．２ｍ ｍ ｏｌ／Ｌ及０．０６３ ｍ ｍ ｏｌ／Ｌ．用Ｈｉｌｌ作图法求得酶对ＮＨ＋４ 和ＮＡＤＰＨ 的［Ｓ］０．５分别为２４ ｍ ｍ ｏｌ／Ｌ和０．０３７ ｍ ｍ ｏｌ／Ｌ．最适反应温度为５０℃,催化氨化反应和脱氨反应的最适ｐＨ 分别为８．０和８．８,在热稳定性方面不及嗜热细菌的谷氨酸脱氢酶稳定．提纯的谷氨酸脱氢酶在低温（４℃）条件下,可在Ｔｒｉｓ－ＨＣｌ缓冲液中贮存半年以上,活力无明显下降,冷冻则可导致纯酶液迅速失活．氮源对菌体谷氨酸脱氢酶水平有显著影响．     

野生朱鹮的种群数量和分布现状

2012年9-10月,我们对野生朱鹮（Nipponia nippon）的分布区和潜在分布区进行了调查,共发现其游荡期夜宿地23个,其中20个有朱鹮夜宿,分布在洋县（16个）、宁陕县（3个）和城固县（1个）。对这些夜宿地进行了的同步调查,共统计到野生朱鹮1 090只,其中97.2%分布在洋县境内。最大的夜宿集群数量为184只,集群数量超过40只的夜宿地共11个,累计停歇的朱鹮占总数的91.7%,表明野生朱鹮在游荡期有趋于集结较大群体夜宿的习性。朱鹮野生种群中当年出生的幼鸟占19.0%,据此估算,截至秋季朱鹮幼鸟的存活率约为67.2%。加强对保护区以外,尤其是野生朱鹮新扩散地区的的保护管理,将促进野生朱鹮种群的扩散,进一步增加这一濒危物种抵御风险的能力。     

切尾拟鲿的个体生殖力

于2013年4～5月在长江上游岷江河口区域采集63尾性腺发育至Ⅳ期的切尾拟鲿(Pseudobagrus truncatus)雌性个体,所有样本均测量其体长(L)、体重(M)、净体重(W)和性腺重(Wa)等生物学指标。取耳石鉴定年龄,测量卵径,用重量法计数个体绝对生殖力(F),并对体长相对生殖力(FL)、体重相对生殖力(FW)进行计算,用5种数学模型及多元逐步回归方程拟合个体生殖力与生物学指标的关系。结果显示,调查样本由2+～5+龄组成,个体绝对生殖力(F)为566～6758粒,平均为3056粒;体长相对生殖力(FL)68～469粒/cm,平均为234粒/cm;体重相对生殖力(FW)为45～349粒/g,平均为145粒/g。个体绝对生殖力(F)和体长相对生殖力(FL)与体长(L)、体重(M)和成熟系数(GSI)均呈幂函数相关;而体重相对生殖力(FW)仅与成熟系数(GSI)呈幂函数相关,和其他形态指标的相关性不显著。多元逐步回归分析结果表明,长江上游切尾拟鲿个体绝对生殖力(F)与体重(M)和成熟系数(GSI)密切相关,相关式为:F=16370.714+3284.028 GSI+58.361M(n=63,R2=0.973,P0.01);体长相对生殖力(FL)与体重(M)、净体重(W)和成熟系数(GSI)密切相关,相关式为:FL=251.749+18.961 M+684.273 W+3 268.421 GSI(n=63,R2=0.852,P0.01);而体重相对生殖力(FW)仅与成熟系数(GSI)相关:FW=138.590+837.641 GSI(n=63,R2=0.539,P0.01)。依据卵径频数分布结果推测,切尾拟鲿属于一次性产卵鱼类。
