光周期调节光敏感核不育水稻叶片抗环血酸过氧化物酶的活性

从第二次枝梗原基分化期开始用长日照(LD)或短日照(SD)处理光敏感核不育水稻农垦58S 和常规水稻农垦58。与 SD 处理比较,LD 处理明显抑制农垦58S 和农垦58的抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(AsAPOD)的活性,对农垦58S 的 AsA POD 活性的抑制效应较之农垦58的大。随着 AsAPOD 活性下降,抗坏血酸(AsA)和丙二醛(MDA)的含量逐渐增加,AsA POD 活性与 AsA 和MDA 含量之间呈负相关。LD 抑制 ASA POD 活性和抑制幼穗发育的时间有一定的一致性。推测在 LD 处理下 AsA POD 活性下降与幼穗发育受阻有某些内在的联系。     

LZ—410盼生安对肝癌细胞细胞周期时相的影响及对DNA损伤效应的观察

LZ-410盼生安是一种广谱抗肿瘤药物。本文以5-Fu作为阳性对照药物从对BEL-7402肝癌细胞周期时相的影响及对DNA损伤效应两个方面进行了初步探讨。结果表明,LZ-410能将细胞阻滞在G0/G1期,抑制了细胞的生长增殖作用。并且在本实验条件下,LZ-410并不引起DNA的损伤。这表明LZ-410抑制肝癌细胞生长增殖不是通过对DNA损伤引起的,而主要是通过阻滞肿瘤细胞于G0/G1期实现的。     

Autotoxic potential of cucurbit crops

Soil sickness is often observed in cucurbit crops such as Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo and Cucumis sativus, but not in cucurbit crops such as Cucurbita moschata, Lagenaria leucantha and Luffa cylindrica. Results showed that root aqueous extracts of Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo and Cucumis sativus were autotoxic, but those of Cucurbita moschata, Momordica charantia and Luffa cylindrica were less autotoxic to the radicle elongation of respective species. Plant growth of Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo and Cucumis sativus were greatly inhibited by autotoxic substances released from powered root tissue at a rate of 1 g per seedling. Root exudates of Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo and Cucumis sativus were autotoxic to radicle elongation and seedling growth of respective species. However, root exudates of Citrullus lanatus did not inhibit radicle elongation of Cucurbita ficifolia, which is commonly used as rootstock for the grafting of Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo and Cucumis sativus to decrease soil-borne diseases in commercial production. It seems possible to overcome autotoxicity in cucurbit crops by grafting on Cucurbita ficifolia. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

三种国产阴地蕨科植物叶的表皮构造

运用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对三种国产阴地蕨科植物：劲直蕨萁(Botrypus strictus)、小阴地蕨(Botrychium lunaria)和薄叶阴地蕨(Sceptridium daucifolium)〖WTBZ〗叶的成熟表皮构造进行了详细观察和研究。它们具有共同的特征：气孔散生,气孔类型无规则型,气孔长轴方向多与叶脉延伸方向一致。但也存在明显区别,特别是劲直蕨萁与另外二个种的区别更为明显：前者表皮细胞垂周壁直,相邻气孔不接触,保卫细胞平周壁具细条纹。但后二者之间亦有一定区别：薄叶阴地蕨的气孔为下生式,不下陷,而小阴地蕨的气孔为两面气孔型,气孔下陷。本文是国内首次对阴地蕨科叶的表皮构造进行研究,其研究结果表明,表皮构造在阴地蕨科植物的鉴定上具有重要意义,并且在研究阴地蕨科的分类以及起源和演化上也有一定参考价值。     

草酰乙酸和苹果酸对菠菜叶片和完整叶绿体光合作用的影响

观测了OAA和MA对菠菜叶片和完整叶绿体光合作用的影响.结果显示,当叶片切块在20μmol/L的OAA存在时,其叶片的光合放氧速率增加了89%,经OAA处理的离体完整叶绿体的光合放氧速率增加了72%;当反应体系中存在有较高浓度的NaHCO3时,OAA的作用不明显.叶片经20 μmol/L的MA处理后,叶片光合放氧速率比对照高127%.用CO2分析仪观测了处理后叶片的净光合速率(Pn),结果显示,OAA和MA处理后的叶片Pn值分别是对照的117%和111%.对在C3植物中建立C4微循环系统来提高光合作用效率的可能性进行了讨论.     

不同动物制备的抗血清对病毒抗原免疫反应的差异

血清学技术是病毒诊断、鉴定、分类及亲缘关系分析的重要手段。一般常用以制备抗病毒血清的动物是家兔,但也有采用其它动物的,如蛙、羊、豚鼠、鸡及小鼠等。本文比较了Balb/c小鼠、昆明种小鼠和新西兰大白兔对长叶车前花叶病毒上海分离株(RMVsh)和烟草花叶病毒普通株(TMVc)的免疫反应特征。     

去甲二氢愈创木酸部分抑制大鼠局灶性脑缺血后炎症反应

本实验旨在观察去甲二氢愈创木酸(nordihydroguaiaretic acid,NDGA)对大鼠局灶性脑缺血后炎症细胞聚集的作用及其机制。在大鼠大脑中动脉阻塞30min后进行再灌注72h,在再灌注30min,2、24、48h时分别腹腔注射一次NDGA(5、10mg/kg)。再灌注72h后检测脑损伤、内源性IgG渗出、中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞/小胶质细胞聚集、细胞间黏附分子-1(intercellular adhesion molecule-1,ICAM-1)mRNA和蛋白表达,并在再灌注3h后检测脑内5-脂氧酶(5-lipoxygenase,5-LOX)的催化产物白三烯B4(leukotriene B4,LTB4)和半胱氨酰白三烯(cysteinyl leukotrienes,CysLTs)含量。结果显示:NDGA能显著改善脑损伤,减少内源性IgG渗出、中性粒细胞浸润、ICAM-1mRNA和蛋白表达,同时降低脑内LTB4和CysLTs含量,但对巨噬细胞/小胶质细胞聚集没有影响。上述结果提示,NDGA对脑缺血亚急性期炎症反应的抑制主要表现为减少中性粒细胞浸润,机制可能与抑制5-LOX激活有关。     

Structure and physiological importance of angiotensin converting enzyme domains

Somatic angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) consists of two homologous catalytic domains (N- and C-domain), exhibiting different biochemical properties. The catalytically active ACE isoforms consisted of just one domain have been also detected in mammals. Substantial progress in ACE domain research was achieved during the last years, when their crystal structures were determined. The crystal structures of domains in complex with diverse potent ACE inhibitors provided new insights into structure-based differences of the domain active sites. Physiological functions of ACE are not limited by regulation of the cardiovascular system. Recent evidence suggests that the ACE domains may be also involved into control of different physiological functions. The C-terminal catalytic domain plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure: it catalyzes angiotensin I cleavage in vivo. The N-domain contributes to the processing of other bioactive peptides for which it exhibits high affinity. The role of the N-domain is not ultimately associated with functioning of the rennin-angiotensin system and it contributes processing of other bioactive peptides for which it exhibits high affinity (goralatide, luliberin, enkephalin heptapeptide, beta-amyloid peptide). Domain-selective inhibitors selectively blocking either the N- or C-domain of ACE have been developed.
