利用马尾松年轮资料重建江苏暖湿地区气候的初步研究

利用树木年轮气候学方法,根据马尾松生长对气候变量具非线性响应,尝试重建江苏暖湿地区过去１１６年（１８７４～１９９０）的年平均气温和降水量。温度的重建效果优于降水量,实测值与重建值两者的缩减误差（ＲＥ）分别为０．１２和０．１０,两者的平均偏差百分率分别为２．３％和２０％。绝大部分重建结果可从观测记录和历史文献中得到验证,但在温度较高或降水量较多的若干年份,实测值与重建值有较大偏差。

岭南垛基果林湿地土壤碳组分特征

岭南垛基果林湿地是珠三角地区典型的湿地类型之一,其对土壤碳汇的贡献值得关注。为探讨果林种植类型对土壤有机碳的影响,对广州垛基果林湿地内种植黄皮(Clausenalansium)(HP),龙眼(Dimocarpuslongan)(LY)、杨桃(Averrhoa carambola)(YT),龙眼和黄皮间种(LH),杨桃、龙眼和黄皮间种(YLH)共5种种植类型下的表层(0～20 cm)土壤碳组分进行研究。结果表明,不同的植被类型对土壤的总有机碳(SOC)、可溶性有机碳(DOC)、微生物生物量碳(MBC)、易氧化有机碳(ROC)、惰性碳(NLC)含量都有影响,LY的SOC含量最高(22.6 g/kg),显著高于YLH (P<0.05),且NLC含量显著高于LH和YLH (P<0.05)。NLC含量与土壤养分呈正相关,与土壤容重呈负相关。YT的MBC含量显著高于LY、HP、LH (P<0.05),且MBC/SOC显著高于HP、LY(P<0.05)。YLH模式下,土壤DOC含量和DOC/SOC显著高于其他植被类型(P<0.05)。LH的ROC/SOC显著高于HP和L...

大鼠胰腺γ-氨基丁酸免疫组织化学定位

本文用ABC—GDN免疫组织化学方法,研究了γ-氨基丁酸(Gamma—Aminobutyric Acid,GABA)在大鼠胰腺的定位和分布,并用相邻切片法,观察它与胰岛素的共存关系。结果发现GABA免疫反应阳性细胞主要分布于胰腺内分泌部(胰岛)。在外分泌部亦有少许分布。大部分胰岛细胞呈GABA免疫反应阳性,集中位于胰岛的中央部。相邻连续切片免疫染色证实GABA与胰岛素共存于胰岛B细胞中。外分泌部胰腺GABA免疫反应阳性细胞,呈零散分布于腺泡和导管上皮间。本文为进一步探讨GABA在胰腺的生理作用提供了形态学依据。     

甲种胎儿球蛋白(AFP)定性定量酶联免疫试盒剂的研制

甲胎蛋白是一种癌胚相关蛋白,它在胎儿血清中含量每毫升数毫克之多,在正常人血清中低于25μg/ml,在原发性肝细胞癌者血清中甲胎蛋白的阳性率和滴度都很高,所以血清中甲胎蛋白的检测是诊断肝癌的特异指标。本方法采用双抗体夹心法原理,可定性及定量检测血清和血浆标本中甲胎蛋白含量,并配制AFP系列标准,为原发性肝癌的早期诊断及普查具有重要的临床意义。     

A protein fraction from aged garlic extract enhances cytotoxicity and proliferation of human lymphocytes mediated by interleukin-2 and concanavalin A

Fraction 4 (F4), a protein fraction isolated from aged garlic extract, enhanced cytotoxicity of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) against both naturalkiller (NK)-sensitive K562 and NK-resistant M14 cell lines. Although F4 treatment alone increased cytotoxicity, the effect was more remarkable when F4 was administered together with suboptimal doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2); combination treatment of 5 g/ml F4 plus 10 U/ml IL-2 for 72 h generated lymphokine-activated killer activity equivalent to that produced by 100 U/ml IL-2 alone against M14. F4 enhanced IL-2-induced proliferation and IL-2 receptor (Tac) expression of PBL without significant increase of IL-2 production. The enhancement of cytotoxicity both by F4 alone and by F4 plus IL-2 was abolished by anti-IL-2 antibody. F4 also enhanced concanavalin-A(ConA)-induced proliferation of PBL. Radiolabeled-ConA binding assays revealed that F4 treatment greatly augmented the affinity and slightly increased the number of ConA binding sites in PBL. F4 also enhanced ConA-induced IL-2 receptor (Tac) expression and IL-2 production of PBL. Anti-IL-2 antibody inhibited the effect of F4 on ConA-induced proliferation. These data suggest that IL-2 is involved in augmentative effects of F4. Our results indicate that F4 is a very efficient immunopotentiator and may be used for immunotherapy.     

Genomic insights into selection for heterozygous alleles and woody traits in Populus tomentosa

Heterozygous alleles are widespread in outcrossing and clonally propagated woody plants. The variation in heterozygosity that underlies population adaptive evolution and phenotypic variation, however, remains largely unknown. Here, we describe a de novo chromosome-level genome assembly of Populus tomentosa, an economic and ecologically important native tree in northern China. By resequencing 302 natural accessions, we determined that the South subpopulation (Pop_S) encompasses the ancestral strains of P. tomentosa, while the Northwest subpopulation (Pop_NW) and Northeast subpopulation (Pop_NE) experienced different selection pressures during population evolution, resulting in significant population differentiation and a decrease in the extent of heterozygosity. Analysis of heterozygous selective sweep regions (HSSR) suggested that selection for lower heterozygosity contributed to the local adaptation of P. tomentosa by dwindling gene expression and genetic load in the Pop_NW and Pop_NE subpopulations. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) revealed that 88 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 63 genes are associated with nine wood composition traits. Among them, the selection for the homozygous AA allele in PtoARF8 is associated with reductions in cellulose and hemicellulose contents by attenuating PtoARF8 expression, and the increase in lignin content is attributable to the selection for decreases in exon heterozygosity in PtoLOX3 during adaptive evolution of natural populations. This study provides novel insights into allelic variations in heterozygosity associated with adaptive evolution of P. tomentosa in response to the local environment and identifies a series of key genes for wood component traits, thereby facilitating genomic-based breeding of important traits in perennial woody plants.     

-cyano-substituted analogoues of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine as enzyme activated, irreversible inhibitors of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase

A pair of -cyano analogues of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (2a and 2b) were synthesized as potential enzyme activated, irreversible inhibitors of the[pyruvoyl enzyme S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMet-DC). Each of these analogues acts as an irreversible inactivator for ADoMet-DC from Escherichia coli (IC₅₀ values of 9 and 50 μM, respectively). These analogues also inactivate human AdoMet-DC, with K_I values of 246.6 and 7.2 μM, and k_inact values of 0.29 and 0.03 min⁻¹, respectively.
