目的：研究阿里红黄酮对衰老模型小鼠的抗衰老作用。方法：将小鼠随机分为6组（n=12）：正常对照组,衰老模型组,阳性对照组,低、中、高剂量阿里红黄酮组。除正常对照组外,其余各组均采用D-半乳糖颈背部皮下注射建立亚急性衰老小鼠模型,用不同剂量的阿里红黄酮（100、200和400 mg/（kg·d））灌服小鼠6周后,计算衰老模型小鼠脑指数及脾脏指数、胸腺指数,测定其脑组织丙二醛（MDA）含量及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）活性、肝组织过氧化氢酶（CAT）及超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性。结果：阿里红黄酮3个剂量组可不同程度的升高衰老模型小鼠的脑指数、脾脏指数、胸腺指数、脑组织中的GSH-Px活性及肝组织中的CAT、SOD活性,降低其脑组织中的MDA含量。结论：阿里红黄酮可能通过提高机体的抗氧化能力而达到抗衰老作用。     

Cloning and Expression Analysis of GpUCH Gene in Grimmia pilifera

A drought resistance gene was cloned from drought cDNA library of Grimmia pilifera, the gene relatived to ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolytic enzymes (UCH), named GpUCH. The cDNA fragment of GpUCH was cloned from Grimmia pilifera through rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). To further study the function of GpUCH gene, it was necessary to describe the sequence characteristics, evolutionary relationship and gene expression. The full length cDNA was 951bp with an pen reading frame of 711bp which encoded 237 amino acid with a molecular weight of 257kD, and the isoelectric point is 467. The result of bioinformatics showed that this protein was unstable transmembrane protein and had no signal peptide. The phylogenetic tree showed that GpUCH and Physcomitrella patens UCH protein had a close relationship. QRT PCR analysis showed that the expression of GpUCH gene was induced in both rehydration and dehydration.Under different conditions the expression of GpUCH were obviously varius. The results suggested that GpUCH gene might play an important role in drought stress.     

Male spike strobiles with Gnetum affinity from the Early Cretaceous in western Liaoning, Northeast China

A fossil with Gnetum affinity was found in the Jianshangou Member (Barremian Age) of the Yixian Formation (Lower Cretaceous Epoch) of the Jehol Group in western Liaoning, northeastern China. The single fossil specimen is represented by both elongate-cylindrical male spike strobiles which borne within a nodal bract of cauliflorous branch. The spike strobiles have apparent nodes, invisible internodes, and numerous verticillate involucral collars. The microsporangiate units within involucral collars are not seen. The male spike strobiles with verticillate involucral collars occur exclusively in Gnetum; hence, the fossil strobiles are attributed to a new taxon, Khitania columnispicata gen. & sp. nov., being closely related to Gnetum. The general isotopic dating suggests an age of Barremian, ca. 125-122 million years (Myr) ago for the Jianshangou Member. The palaeoecological and palaeoclimatic inference based on the compositions of flora and fauna, and lithological characters of the fossil locality suggests that the fossil plants grew in a subtropical mesophytic forest and under a warmer climate. The remains of male spike strobiles are the first record of gnetalean macrofossil. It documents the evolution of the distinct gnetoid morphology and indicates a wider range of distribution of Gnetaceae in the Early Cretaceous than present day.     

板蓝根种子的吸水特性及发芽条件研究

采用室内测定方法,对板蓝根种子的吸水特性及不同处理下种子的发芽率、发芽势和相对活力指数等进行比较研究。结果表明,板蓝根种子具有快速吸水的生物学特性,分为快速吸水期、缓慢吸水期和缓慢吐水期三个阶段,入水后2 h的吸水量达最大吸水量的73.29%,为快速吸水阶段;温度对板蓝根种子的萌发影响较大,最适发芽温度为30℃。光照、发芽床和种子预处理对板蓝根种子的萌发无明显影响。这说明板蓝根种子的萌发主要取决于水分和温度。     

新型N-取代吡咯类化合物的体外抗肿瘤活性研究

目的:研究37个新型N-取代吡咯类化合物的体外抗肿瘤活性,并探讨这些化合物的结构-活性关系。方法:运用MTT法来测试37个化合物对5种肿瘤细胞和1种正常细胞的体外细胞增殖抑制活性。结果:化合物3f活性最高,其对MGC80-3的IC50值为61.29μM。同时成功地总结了新型N-取代吡咯化合物的构效关系:(1)对于吡咯母核的3位,取代苯环上对位氯取代和对位叔丁基取代化合物的抗肿瘤活性差不多,并且没有明显的规律性。(2)对于吡咯母核的4位,取代基团的电子云密度对抗肿瘤活性的影响也没有明显的规律。(3)对于吡咯母核的1位,当3位为对叔丁基苯基取代时,其整体活性顺序为:(苄基,溴乙基)(甲基,乙基,丙基,丁基)乙烯基;当3位为对氯苯基取代时,其整体活性顺序为:(乙烯基,苄基)(甲基,乙基,丙基,丁基)。结论:为了得到更好的抗肿瘤活性化合物,吡咯母核的1号位置上应该接入苄基等大空间位阻基团、容易形成氢键的基团或者不接入任何取代基,从而为吡咯类化合物的进一步结构修饰以开发更高活性的抗肿瘤化合物提供指导。     

针叶小爪螨不同种群在针叶树和阔叶树上的生长发育和繁殖及其生殖隔离

报道丁针叶小爪螨Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi）的4个种群在针叶树和阔叶树上的生长发育和繁殖及其生殖隔离的研究结果。饲养试验证明,针叶树(杉木)种群不能在板栗、麻栎等阔叶树上存活;阔叶树(板栗、麻栎)种群也不能在杉木、黑松、赤松等针叶树上存活。交配试验证明,针叶树种群和阔叶树种群虽有交配行为,但不能正常繁衍后代,两种群间存在着明显的生殖隔离。据此认为针叶树种群和阔叶树种群有可能为两个不同种。
