中国人ε珠蛋白基因5′侧序列中多态性Hinc Ⅱ位点的进一步研究

本文进一步研究了我国不同民族的正常个体以及β地中海贫血患者θ珠蛋白基因5′侧序列中的多态性HincⅡ位点及其遗传性质。在广西壮族正常个体和β地中海贫血纯合子中,该多态性位点的发生频率均为75％,与正常汉族人测得值相近。家系分析资料表明,该多态性位点完全按照孟德尔规律进行遗传。     

Hypoxia-induced inhibition of converting enzyme activity: role in vascular regulation

Systemic and pulmonary vascular reactivity to graded doses of angiotensin I (ANG I), angiotensin II (ANG II), and, as a control, phenylephrine were examined in 14- or 28-day hypoxia-exposed and air control rats. Hypoxic rats exhibited pulmonary hypertension that was reversible on return to room air, but systemic arterial pressure was not altered by hypoxia. Systemic pressor responses to ANG I and ANG II were significantly less in the hypoxic rats than in the control rats at 14 and 28 days but returned to control levels in hypoxic animals that were then returned to room air, demonstrating reversibility of the hypoxia-induced changes in vascular reactivity. Pulmonary pressor responses to ANG I were significantly less at 14 days, whereas responses to ANG II were significantly greater at 28 days, in hypoxic rats than in controls. There were no significant differences in systemic and pulmonary pressor responses to phenylephrine between the hypoxic and air control animals. The altered systemic and pulmonary pressor responsiveness to ANG I and ANG II in hypoxic rats is probably related to mechanisms specific to the renin-angiotensin system, such as inhibition of intrapulmonary angiotensin-converting enzyme activity and down regulation of ANG II receptors in the systemic circulation. Further study is needed to elucidate these mechanisms.     

楝科植物油及种核粉抽提物对稻瘿蚊产卵忌避作用及防治试验

稻瘿蚊Orseolia oryzae发生世代亟叠,复杂,为害严重,是我国华南地区及东南亚水稻产区的重要害虫。近几年来,我们应用楝科等杀虫植物进行了防治试验,本文主要报道楝科种子油及其抽提物引起产卵稻瘿蚊忌避反应及防治效果。     

抗菌免疫核糖核酸组份的分离及其活性测定

<正> 抗菌免疫核糖核酸(iRNA)已用于条件致病菌感染的临床治疗,并对其免疫活性做了全面的研究。现已证实iRNA能够诱导特异性抗体的产生和传递特异性的细胞免疫,并能诱生干扰素和白细胞间素Ⅰ、Ⅱ等淋巴因子和单核因子。但制备的iRNA是含有多种RNA种类的混合物,为明确各组份的免疫学功能,我们对iRNA进行了分离,并测定不同组份的免疫活性。     

The regulation of amyloid beta protein precursor secretion and its modulatory role in cell adhesion

The regulation and function of two forms of the amyloid beta protein precursor (ABPP) that are released into the growth-conditioned medium of the PC12 nerve cell line were examined. Nerve growth factor increases the release of the form of ABPP without the protease-inhibitor domain relative to the protein containing the protease inhibitor and increases the overall rate of ABPP secretion 2-fold. In contrast, fibroblast growth factor increases the rate of ABPP secretion approximately 7-fold. Both forms of the secreted ABPP molecule are, in turn, able to stimulate adhesion of PC12 cells to substrata to which they are adsorbed about 10-fold more efficiently on a molar basis than Iaminin.     

钉螺的耗氧量及杀螺药对它的影响

应用氧电极技术测定了正常钉螺和受药物作用钉螺的耗氧量。结果表明不同地区、不同温度环境、不同性别、野外收集、人工饲养及感染毛蚴的钉螺的耗氧都不同;已知九种有效杀螺药都有抑制钉螺耗氧的作用而十三种无杀螺效果的化合物则不影响钉螺的耗氧;氯化镉有抑制钉螺呼吸的作用,亦呈现杀死钉螺的作用。     

中枢多巴胺神经元放电活动的特点

中脑黑质和腹侧被盖区DA神经元自发放电活动的特点表现在:动作电位时程较宽(2～5ms),伴有上升相切迹;放电频率较慢(1～10spikes/s);有单放电(single firing)和爆发性放电(burst firing)两种型式,前者动作电位幅度无显著改变,后者动作电位幅度逐个减低,时程逐个加宽,并且动作电位间隔逐渐延长。DA受体激动剂或D_2亚型选择性激动剂抑制DA神经元放电活动,它能被DA受体拮抗剂所逆转。     

Transfer of IncP Plasmids to Extremely Acidophilic Thiobacillus thiooxidans

The broad-host-range IncP plasmids RP4, R68.45, RP1::Tn501, and and pUB307 were transferred directly to extremely acidophilic Thiobacillus thiooxidans from Escherichia coli by conjugation at frequencies of 10^-5 to 10^-7 per recipient. The ability of T. thiooxidans to receive and express the antibiotic resistance markers was examined. The plasmid RP4 was transferred back to E. coli from T. thiooxidans at a frequency of 1.0 × 10^-3 per recipient.     

Increased shikonin production inLithospermum erythrorhizon suspension cultures within situ extraction and fungal cell treatment (elicitor)

Summary The effect ofin situ extraction and elicitor treatment on shikonin production was studied with the suspension cultures ofLithospermum erythrorhizon. Shikonin concentration of 60 mg/L was achieved by the use of both techniques which was 24 times higher than that of control culture, and 65 times higher in terms of shikonin productivity. The host-pathogen effect of elicitor treatment andin situ extraction for product removal were effective for shikonin production.
