CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞、IL-2与免疫耐受

近年来,越来越多的研究表明CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞在免疫耐受的过程中起着非常重要的作用。IL-2作为一种T细胞生长因子调控着调节性T细胞诱导免疫耐受的过程。IL-2维持着中枢及外周的调节性T细胞的活性,但是对胸腺调节性T细胞的发育是非必要的。同时,IL-2信号影响着调节性T细胞的功能并维持着其的竞争适应性。因此,CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞通过与IL-2之间形成的免疫网络调控着免疫耐受的过程,从而影响着机体的免疫平衡。     

聚乙二醇对羟基丁酸和羟基己酸共聚物的共混改性研究

本研究以聚羟基脂肪酸酯家族中的新成员羟基丁酸和羟基己酸共聚物（PHBHHx）为基础,采用与聚乙二醇（PEG）共混的方法对其进行改性,研究结果证实：PHBHHx与PEG 共混物中比例为3:1及2:1时,两者完全物理相容。而PEG在共混物中比例升高时则导致相分离,成为部分相容体系。PEG掺入显著提高材料亲水性及表面自由能,使血管平滑肌细胞（RaSMCs）及血管内皮细胞（HUVECs）的细胞粘附及增殖大幅度提高,并且均具有一定的PEG含量依赖性。其中对RaSMCs的作用最为明显,RaSMCs能在PEG/PHBHHx比例为1:1的共混膜（E1X1）上持续增殖至融合,而HUVECs则呈粘附较差的类球形形貌,证实E1X1可以潜在应用于复合血管组织工程支架中的近内膜基材。     

56例卵巢上皮性交界性肿瘤的临床和病理分析

目的：探讨卵巢交界性上皮肿瘤（OBT）的临床及病理特征,以供临床和病理借鉴.方法：收集病理快速冰冻切片和石蜡切片确诊的交界性上皮性卵巢肿瘤患者56例,术前均行超声检查及CA125测定.结果：56例OBT中以粘液性肿瘤最多,为33例,占58.9%,浆液性肿瘤23例占41.1%.其中以Ⅰ期多见,手术包括保守性手术治疗交界性肿瘤,预后良好.冰冻切片诊断卵巢交界性上皮肿瘤的总体准确率为64.2%.结论：诊断OBT需根据临床症状、肿瘤标记物及影像学综合判断,术中冰冻切片检查有一定帮助,但最后诊断还是应主要依据病理切片.为提高快速冰冻切片诊断的准确率,应做连续切片.     

中国蓼属春蓼组植物果实形态及果皮微形态的研究

应用解剖镜和扫描电镜对中国产蓼属春蓼组（Polygonum sect. Persicaria）19种3变种植物的果实形态和果皮微形态特征进行了观察和研究。结果表明,蓼属春蓼组植物的果实形态为卵形或椭圆状卵形,具三棱、双凹或双凸,顶端渐狭,有喙或无喙;果皮微形态可分为7种类型： 洼点、浅洼点,脑纹状纹饰,拟脑纹状纹饰,网状纹饰,不规则褶皱,不规则小疣状颗粒以及密浅网状纹饰。观察结果支持将绵毛酸模叶蓼（P. lapathifolium L. var. salicifolium Sibth.）合并到酸模叶蓼（P. lapathifolium L.）,做为酸模叶蓼的异名处理;支持将长鬃蓼（P. longisetum De Br.）作为丛枝蓼（P. posumbu Buch. Ham. ex D.Don）的变种处理的意见;认为密毛酸模叶蓼（P. lapathifolium L. var. lanatum (Roxb.) Stew.）应恢复种级,圆基长鬃蓼（P. longisetum De Br. var. rotunatum A.J.Li）应升为种级;支持平武蓼（Polygonum pingwuense F. Z. Li et Y. T. Hou et S. J. Fan, sp. nov.）新种的成立。

马铃薯（Solanum tuberosum L.）茎尖的超低温保存及其遗传变异的初步观察

研究马铃薯茎尖超低温保存技术的结果表明,4℃低温下锻炼6d,在添加二甲基亚砜（DMSO）和乙酰胺的培养基中预培养5d,60％PVS2于室温下装载30min,0℃下PVS2脱水40min时,茎尖成活率最高（71．6％）,再生植株生长分化正常。进一步对再生植株进行AFLP分析,6对引物组合共扩增出385条带,超低温保存前后的材料之间未见到明显差的异带,但用MSAP技术分析超低温保存前后植株甲基化的结果显示：超低温保存后的材料均有不同程度的甲基化。在扩增的624条带中,处理与否之间完全一致的带型为584条;有变化的带型为40条,处理2（茎尖经过完整的超低温保存过程,区别于处理1,增加了冷冻、解冻和洗涤后恢复培养）有13个位点的甲基化增加,21个位点去甲基化。     

Proteasome and p97 mediate mitophagy and degradation of mitofusins induced by Parkin

Damage to mitochondria can lead to the depolarization of the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby sensitizing impaired mitochondria for selective elimination by autophagy. However, fusion of uncoupled mitochondria with polarized mitochondria can compensate for damage, reverse membrane depolarization, and obviate mitophagy. Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is mutated in monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease, was recently found to induce selective autophagy of damaged mitochondria. Here we show that ubiquitination of mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2, large GTPases that mediate mitochondrial fusion, is induced by Parkin upon membrane depolarization and leads to their degradation in a proteasome- and p97-dependent manner. p97, a AAA+ ATPase, accumulates on mitochondria upon uncoupling of Parkin-expressing cells, and both p97 and proteasome activity are required for Parkin-mediated mitophagy. After mitochondrial fission upon depolarization, Parkin prevents or delays refusion of mitochondria, likely by the elimination of mitofusins. Inhibition of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission, the proteasome, or p97 prevents Parkin-induced mitophagy.

Microbial to reef scale interactions between the reef-building coral Montastraea annularis and benthic algae

Competition between reef-building corals and benthic algae is of key importance for reef dynamics. These interactions occur on many spatial scales, ranging from chemical to regional. Using microprobes, 16S rDNA pyrosequencing and underwater surveys, we examined the interactions between the reef-building coral Montastraea annularis and four types of benthic algae. The macroalgae Dictyota bartayresiana and Halimeda opuntia, as well as a mixed consortium of turf algae, caused hypoxia on the adjacent coral tissue. Turf algae were also associated with major shifts in the bacterial communities at the interaction zones, including more pathogens and virulence genes. In contrast to turf algae, interactions with crustose coralline algae (CCA) and M. annularis did not appear to be antagonistic at any scale. These zones were not hypoxic, the microbes were not pathogen-like and the abundance of coral-CCA interactions was positively correlated with per cent coral cover. We propose a model in which fleshy algae (i.e. some species of turf and fleshy macroalgae) alter benthic competition dynamics by stimulating bacterial respiration and promoting invasion of virulent bacteria on corals. This gives fleshy algae a competitive advantage over corals when human activities, such as overfishing and eutrophication, remove controls on algal abundance. Together, these results demonstrate the intricate connections and mechanisms that structure coral reefs.
