杨树林全生长期LAI遥感估算模型适用性

基于时间序列的植被叶面积指数(LAI)估算方法一直是遥感领域研究的热点,对植被全生长期LAI进行估算以跟踪其生长情况具有重要的实用意义。以此为出发点,以滁州地区杨树林为研究对象,获取多时相环境卫星CCD(简称HJ-CDD)遥感影像,并利用LAI-2000同步测量杨树林叶面积指数(LAI)。使用归一化植被指数(NDVI)分别建立展叶期、花果期、叶面积稳定期和落叶始期的LAI估算模型,通过对比分析得到了全生长期LAI估算模型,并利用实测LAI对估算LAI进行了验证。最后进一步对该模型的适用性进行了验证,结果表明,此模型对于各个时期LAI的估算具有一定的适用性和有效性,可用于全生育期的遥感LAI生成,从而为LAI的动态变化监测提供了一种有效的研究思路和方法途径。     

Design,synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel carbazole derivatives as potent DNMT1 inhibitors with reasonable PK properties

The DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) were found in mammals to maintain DNA methylation. Among them, DNMT1 was the first identified, and it is an attractive target for tumour chemotherapy. DC_05 and DC_517 have been reported in our previous work, which is non-nucleoside DNMT1 inhibitor with low micromolar IC₅₀ values and significant selectivity towards other S-adenosyl-_L-methionine (SAM)-dependent protein methyltransferases. In this study, through a process of similarity-based analog searching, a series of DNMT1 inhibitors were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as anticancer agents. SAR studies were conducted based on enzymatic assays. And most of the compounds showed strong inhibitory activity on human DNMT1, especially WK-23 displayed a good inhibitory effect on human DNMT1 with an IC₅₀ value of 5.0 µM. Importantly, the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of WK-23 was obtained with quite satisfying oral bioavailability and elimination half-life. Taken together, WK-23 is worth developing as DNMT1-selective therapy for the treatment of malignant tumour.     

左右半结肠癌多组学分子特征差异的研究进展

结肠癌(colon cancer,CC)是一种常见的恶性肿瘤,其发病率和死亡率均占癌症前列.根据解剖学位置,CC可分为左半结肠癌(left-sided colon cancer,LCC)和右半结肠癌(right-sided colon cancer,RCC),两者在临床特征上表现出较大的差异.近些年来,随着生物学技术和...     

阿尔泰蝠蛾(鳞翅目:蝠蛾科)活蛹性别的无损鉴别方法

通过观察阿尔泰蝠蛾雌雄蛹的外部形态结构,并测量其体征和体重数据,寻找可用于鉴别蛹性别的无损方法;再借助于解剖等方法鉴别蛹的确切性别,检测鉴别方法的准确性。结果显示,雌雄蛹在体征和体重数据的分布范围上有重叠,不能籍此区分其雌雄性。然而,雄蛹腹面第8腹节和第9腹节间分节明显,第9腹节未向第8腹节纵伸,生殖孔位于第9腹节上,生殖孔两侧各有一球形突起,生殖孔前缘与肛门前缘间的距离短于肛门的长度;雌蛹不具备以上特征。基于这些特征开发的鉴别阿尔泰蝠蛾蛹雌雄的方法,鉴别活蛹的准确率均为100%(n=180)。该方法对活蛹无损伤、准确、可靠、简便易学。     

应用X光荧光法检测硫的化学位移和研究病毒感染植物中硫状态的改变

应用双晶X光荧光光谱仪研究生理性和病理性植物组织中某些元素的分布特征已有报道。本研究工作中采用日本国东芝厂出品的AFV701型双晶X光荧光光谱仪,测定并比较了植物感染病毒前、后的叶片中,不同硫状态相对比例的改变。应用此仪器首先测定各种标准硫化物硫状态的化学位移数值,在确定标准图谱及可分性之后,再测定感染蚕豆萎蔫病毒(BBWV)、黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV)、芜菁花叶病毒(TuMV)的茄、苋色藜、烟草和萝卜等四种寄主植物的显症病叶中不同硫状态的相对比例。发现应用此技术能明显地区别出病态植物与健康植物中硫状态相对比例的变化差异。     

Immune-related microRNAs are abundant in breast milk exosomes

Breast milk is a complex liquid rich in immunological components that affect the development of the infant's immune system. Exosomes are membranous vesicles of endocytic origin that are found in various body fluids and that can mediate intercellular communication. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a well-defined group of non-coding small RNAs, are packaged inside exosomes in human breast milk. Here, we identified 602 unique miRNAs originating from 452 miRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs) in human breast milk exosomes using deep sequencing technology. We found that, out of 87 well-characterized immune-related pre-miRNAs, 59 (67.82%) are presented and enriched in breast milk exosomes (P < 10(-16), χ(2) test). In addition, compared with exogenous synthetic miRNAs, these endogenous immune-related miRNAs are more resistant to relatively harsh conditions. It is, therefore, tempting to speculate that these exosomal miRNAs are transferred from the mother's milk to the infant via the digestive tract, and that they play a critical role in the development of the infant immune system.

短嘴金丝燕回声定位叫声特征

2012年6月,对湖南省石门县壶瓶山国家级自然保护区神景洞短嘴金丝燕的回声定位叫声进行研究,在黑暗山洞内使用录音仪器录制其自由飞行状态的声音后使用声音软件进行分析.短嘴金丝燕捕食归巢时,快速飞入洞口,在洞内有光区域不发声,到达洞内黑暗区域后开始发出回声定位叫声,且飞行速度减慢.声音分析结果表明其回声定位叫声为双脉冲组的噪声脉冲串型(noise burst),组内脉冲间隔很短[(6.6±0.42)ms],组间脉冲间隔较长[(99.3±3.86) ms],两者差异显著(P＜0.01).对比第一、第二脉冲声音参数发现,主频和脉冲时程差异不显著,第一、第二脉冲主频分别为(6.2±0.08) kHz和(6.2±0.10) kHz (P＞0.05);脉冲时程分别为(2.9±0.12) ms和(3.2±0.17) ms (P＞0.05);最高和最低频率差异显著,第一、第二脉冲最高频率分别为(20.1±1.10) kHz和(15.4±0.98) kHz (P＜0.01),最低频率分别为(3.7±0.12) kHz和(4.0±0.09)kHz (P＜0.05);第一脉冲频宽((16.5±1.17) kHz)宽于第二脉冲((11.4±1.01) kHz) (P＜0.01);且第一脉冲能量[(-32.5±0.60) dB]高于第二脉冲[(-35.2±0.94) dB] (P＜0.05).另外,短嘴金丝燕在黑暗山洞内的回声定位叫声还包含了部分超声波,最高频率可达33.2 kHz.
