向日葵CMS育性恢复的研究

向日葵细胞质雄性不育（Ｃｙｔｏｐｌａｓｍｉｃｍａｌｅｓｔｅｒｉｌｉｔｙ,ＣＭＳ）育性恢复的机理是非常复杂的。运用遗传学和分子生物学方法,分析了具代表性的４种不同细胞质类型的ＣＭＳ育性被恢复的频率和２０种向日葵自交系对１９种ＣＭＳ的恢复能力及个别ＣＭＳ植株自发恢复的原因。实验结果表明,４种ＣＭＳ品系育性被恢复的频率分别为５８．８％．５６．３％．１１．８％和０％．２０种自交系的恢复力为５．９－７５．０％。部分ＣＭＳ品系和大多数自交系含有恢复基因,恢复基因的数量及类型决定了ＣＭＳ品系被恢复的程度及自交系的恢复能力。同时,提出并证实了线粒体不育基因变异是导致ＡＲＧ１ＣＭＳ植株自发恢复育性的主要原因。     

辣椒素的镇痛作用

辣椒素是从辣椒中提取出来的一种具有镇痛作用的物质。通过激活感觉神经纤维上的瞬时感受器电位香草酸受体1(transient receptor potential vanilloid 1,TRPV1),释放并消耗大量神经肽物质,使神经细胞对伤害性刺激产生脱敏化反应,进而发挥持久的镇痛作用而不影响运动功能。因而在难治性疼痛类疾病中,辣椒素具有独特的治疗价值。以辣椒素为主要成分的制剂已经在临床治疗中开展应用。特定位点注射辣椒素或其类似物resiniferatoxin可以减轻癌痛患者的疼痛症状。但由于辣椒素的治疗剂量与毒性剂量存在部分重叠,使得其在临床应用中受到一定程度的限制。不同的给药方式和作用部位所产生的作用效果可能不同。为深入了解辣椒素的镇痛作用及作用机制,充分发挥其治疗价值,现从不同给药途径总结近几年来辣椒素镇痛作用的研究成果。     

骨髓间充质干细胞在脱细胞真皮基质再生过程中的初步研究

较大的腹壁缺损需要应用补片修复来缓解腹横筋膜的张力,人工合成补片的应用一定程度上实现了无张力修补的目的,但它在腹壁外科应用中有诸多的并发症,诸如复发率高,腹腔黏连,肠穿孔导致腹膜炎,侵袭性肠瘘等影响患者术后的正常生活,而脱细胞真皮基质(Acellular dermal matrix,ADM)作为一种新型的生物材料应用在腹壁外科中能解决上述人工合成补片所带来的并发症发挥强大作用且能与周围组织较好的融合,最后改建成宿主自身组织已并在多学科领域中广泛应用;骨髓间充质干细胞(Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,BMSCs)能参与组织自我修复,并能分化成为多种功能细胞,分泌各种生长因子,在ADM内源性转归过程中可发挥作用。本文就对骨髓间充质干细胞在ADM生物补片应用于临床疝修补术中转归机制的研究做一综述。     

不同效应室浓度舒芬太尼复合丙泊酚对Narcotrend的影响

目的:探讨靶控输注不同效应室浓度的舒芬太尼复合丙泊酚对Narcotrend指数(NI)的影响。方法:选择60例全麻患者,年龄40-60岁,体重指数30 kg/m2,ASAⅠ-Ⅱ级,随机分为4组(n=15):舒芬太尼效应室靶控浓度0.1 ng/m L(A组)、0.2 ng/m L(B组)、0.3 ng/m L(C组)、0.4 ng/m L(D组);各组舒芬太尼达效应室靶浓度5 min后给予丙泊酚1 mg/kg。记录实验过程中的血压、心率、血氧饱和度及NI。所有患者在实验结束后,均调整至适宜的麻醉深度,给与阿曲库胺,进行气管插管。结果:靶控输注舒芬太尼使各组的NI有不同程度的降低,随着靶控浓度的增加,降低幅度增大;单纯靶控输注舒芬太尼时,其效应室浓度与NI呈负相关,相关系数为-0.456。结论:舒芬太尼能降低NI,舒芬太尼效应室浓度与NI呈负相关。而舒芬太尼效应室浓度0.4 ng/m L复合丙泊酚后,NI反而呈短暂的上升,随后下降的现象。     

Systematic Cell-Based Phenotyping of Missense Alleles Empowers Rare Variant Association Studies: A Case for LDLR and Myocardial Infarction

A fundamental challenge to contemporary genetics is to distinguish rare missense alleles that disrupt protein functions from the majority of alleles neutral on protein activities. High-throughput experimental tools to securely discriminate between disruptive and non-disruptive missense alleles are currently missing. Here we establish a scalable cell-based strategy to profile the biological effects and likely disease relevance of rare missense variants in vitro. We apply this strategy to systematically characterize missense alleles in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene identified through exome sequencing of 3,235 individuals and exome-chip profiling of 39,186 individuals. Our strategy reliably identifies disruptive missense alleles, and disruptive-allele carriers have higher plasma LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C). Importantly, considering experimental data refined the risk of rare LDLR allele carriers from 4.5- to 25.3-fold for high LDL-C, and from 2.1- to 20-fold for early-onset myocardial infarction. Our study generates proof-of-concept that systematic functional variant profiling may empower rare variant-association studies by orders of magnitude.     

Impact of a Moving Noise Masker on Speech Perception in Cochlear Implant Users

ObjectivesPrevious studies investigating speech perception in noise have typically been conducted with static masker positions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of spatial separation of source and masker (spatial release from masking, SRM) in a moving masker setup and to evaluate the impact of adaptive beamforming in comparison with fixed directional microphones in cochlear implant (CI) users.DesignSpeech reception thresholds (SRT) were measured in S₀N₀ and in a moving masker setup (S₀N_move) in 12 normal hearing participants and 14 CI users (7 subjects bilateral, 7 bimodal with a hearing aid in the contralateral ear). Speech processor settings were a moderately directional microphone, a fixed beamformer, or an adaptive beamformer. The moving noise source was generated by means of wave field synthesis and was smoothly moved in a shape of a half-circle from one ear to the contralateral ear. Noise was presented in either of two conditions: continuous or modulated.ResultsSRTs in the S₀N_move setup were significantly improved compared to the S₀N₀ setup for both the normal hearing control group and the bilateral group in continuous noise, and for the control group in modulated noise. There was no effect of subject group. A significant effect of directional sensitivity was found in the S₀N_move setup. In the bilateral group, the adaptive beamformer achieved lower SRTs than the fixed beamformer setting. Adaptive beamforming improved SRT in both CI user groups substantially by about 3 dB (bimodal group) and 8 dB (bilateral group) depending on masker type.ConclusionsCI users showed SRM that was comparable to normal hearing subjects. In listening situations of everyday life with spatial separation of source and masker, directional microphones significantly improved speech perception with individual improvements of up to 15 dB SNR. Users of bilateral speech processors with both directional microphones obtained the highest benefit.

水鳖蕨配子体系统学特征的培养观察

在光学显微镜下观察了水鳖蕨(Sinephropteris delavayi(Franch.)Mickel)配子体发育的详细过程。水鳖蕨孢子培养6 d左右萌发;原丝体单列细胞,或发育出2~3个分支;片状体生长点不明显,成熟配子体近心形。本文还讨论了其生长点、毛状体及性器的发育特点,结果支持Mickel将水鳖蕨独立成属的观点。     

细胞内铜/锌超氧化物歧化酶在人胸主动脉夹层的表达研究

目的:探讨细胞内铜/锌超氧化物岐化酶(copper zinc superoxide dismutase,Cu/Zn-SOD,SOD-1)在人胸主动脉夹层(humanthoracic aortic dissection,hTAD)中的表达情况及其在hTAD中的可能作用。方法:蛋白质印迹法(Western blot,WB)检测SOD-1在TAD和正常人胸主动脉(NA)中膜组织中的表达情况,免疫组织化学染色(immunohistochemistry,IHC)验证SOD-1在动脉壁中的表达和定位。结果:蛋白质印迹和免疫组化染色均显示SOD-1在TAD组表达量较NA组减低(P<0.05);免疫组化染色进一步显示,SOD-1主要位于主动脉壁中膜平滑肌细胞的胞质内,其在夹层主动脉壁中膜撕开处表达缺失。结论:SOD-1在TAD中表达量减少,可能由于参与氧化应激引起的脂质过氧化和炎症反应,以及细胞外基质(extracellular matrix,ECM)的降解等机制所致。     

一类蛙源非典型结构抗菌肽cDNA的克隆以及成熟肽的预测

抗菌肽是两栖类非特异性免疫的重要组成部分,具有广谱的抗菌、抗病毒、抗肿瘤、抗寄生虫等活性,而且不易产生耐药性.抗菌肽的功能发挥与其特有的α螺旋结构密切相关,但是一些抗菌肽在水溶液中呈无规则卷曲,在类膜溶液中才转变成α螺旋,这类抗菌肽往往表现出极强的抗菌肽活性或细胞毒性,在药物开发中提供更多的利用潜能.本文从东北林蛙(Rana dybowskii)皮肤组织中,通过RT-PCR技术,克隆了一类无规则卷曲的抗菌肽,属于chensirin-2家族.19条不同的抗菌肽的cDNA序列共编码3种长度为14个氨基酸残基的成熟肽,分子量在1450.78-1460.82之间,理论等电点在9.53-9.70之间,3种抗菌肽都有两亲性和阳离子性,二级结构呈现无规卷曲.这些理化性质预示着这3种抗菌肽可能具有特殊的药用价值.
