水蒸汽蒸馏巴柑檬叶和果皮精油化学成分的研究

巴柑檬是我们第一次从国外引种成功的一种名贵香料植物。用色谱-质谱-计算机联用技术、毛细管气相色谱保留指数法和标准品叠加法分析了水蒸汽蒸馏巴柑檬叶和果皮精油的化学成分。从叶和果皮精油分离出来的220个和200个成分中,分别鉴定出48个和57个成分。鉴定组分的含量分别占叶和果皮精油的99.80％和98.54％。叶精油与果皮精油在化学成分方面的主要区别是叶油中萜烃化合物含量较低,而萜醇类化合物含量较高。     

麻黄碱抑制小鼠输精管电场刺激致收缩的机制

麻黄碱(10 nmol/L~(-0.1) mmol/L)对电场刺激所致输精管收缩的浓度依赖性抑制作用可被育亨宾(0.1 μmol/L)减弱。去甲肾上腺素(0.1 nmol/L~(-10)μmol/L )和酪胺(0.1 μmol/L~(-0.1) mmol/L)也有类似麻黄碱的作用,去氧肾上腺素则缺乏此种作用。利血平处理和可卡因(10 μmol/L)可减弱麻黄碱和酪胺的抑制效应,但能增敏去甲肾上腺素的作用。高 Ca~( )和4-氨基吡啶(50 μmol/L)明显减弱甚至取消麻黄碱对电场刺激的抑制效应。以上结果提示麻黄碱抑制电场刺激所引起的输精管收缩。至少部分通过促进神经末梢释放去甲肾上腺素间接作用,后者激动突触前α_2-肾上腺素受体,从而抑制去甲肾上腺素的进一步释放。麻黄碱和其释放的去甲肾上腺素的作用,又可能与阻遏 Ca~( )内流有关。     

Induction of heavy metal binding groups by dexamethasone and Zn in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells

Cd binding capacity and pulse polarography were used to study the inducibility of sulfhydryl groups in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells (wild type and a Cd-resistant mutant) in response to dexamethasone (dex) and Zn. Evidence is presented that both the wild type and the mutant responded to dex and Zn treatment by induction of sulfhydryl groups. In wild type for Zn and dex as well as in the mutant for dex, this induction seems to be in the form of sulfhydryls attached to particulate or membrane fractions in the cells. For Zn in the Cd-resistant mutant the induction was in the form of metallothionein.     

Effect of ethionine on synthesis and methylation of ribosomal ribonucleic acid in regenerating rat liver

Ethionine, a hepatocarcinogen, was administered into rats 24 h before partial hepatectomy and immediately thereafter. Hepatic precursor ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) obtained 20 h after the operation of rats injected with ethionine and adenine resulted in methyl deficiency as judged by the incorporation of [3H]methyl group of S-adenosylmethionine into nuclear rRNA by partially purified rRNA methylase. The ethionine and adenine treatment causes methyl deficiency of nuclear rRNA at 2'-hydroxyribose sites of cytidine and uridine, but not at base sites. Although the ethionine and adenine treatment produced no significant change in total hepatic RNA synthesis in vivo assayed by the incorporation of labeled orotate, a one-third increase in nuclear rRNA synthesis as well as a one-third decrease in microsomal rRNA synthesis was found under the treatment. These results suggest that the undermethylation at 2'-hydroxyribose of pre-rRNA in liver nucleus, which is caused by ethionine and adenine administration into rats, causes an inhibition of the processing of nuclear pre-rRNA to cytoplasmic rRNA.     

Raman spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction studies of the effect of temperature and Ca2+ on phosphatidylethanolamine dispersions

Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction are used to study the effect of heat and Ca²⁺ on dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine dispersions. Unlike phosphatidylcholine dispersions, dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine bilayers (at pH 8) require heating above T_m in order for hydration to occur and apparently bind Ca²⁺ at very low levels. These results are related to models for membrane fusion.     

A PRELIMINARY REPORT ON SPORAE DISPERSAE FROM THE LOWER SHIHHOTZE SERIES OF HOKÜ DISTRICT,NW SHANSI

The literatures on the Permian Sporae dispersae are rather meagre and scattered ascompared with those on the Carboniferous.The correlation of sediments of long geo-graphical distance in this period is thus nearly impossible at this moment.As far as isknown to the present writer,the contributors to the Permian microflora are Dalhunty(1945,49),Balme(1952,1955,1956),Imgrund(1952,1960),Klause(1953),Potonie& Klause(1954),Leschik(1956);Luber(1938),Kara-Murza(1952),Samoilovich(1953),Zoricbeva & Sedova(1954),Andreeva(1956),Zauer(1960),Medvedeva(1960)andothers.     

Survival of Shigella in Sewage: II. Effect of Glycerol on Shigella flexneri and Shigella Bacteriophage1

Glycerol (30%) inhibited or delayed the adsorption of Shigella bacteriophage on its host organism, S. flexneri II; glycerol also inhibited or delayed the burst of phage, whether or not adsorption was carried out in the presence of glycerol. Studies of the mechanisms of these effects showed that viscosity and osmotic shock probably were not responsible for either phenomenon. The inhibition of adsorption, however, was proportional to the concentration of glycerol, and appeared to be a function of the hydroxyl groups on the glycerol molecule. The inhibition of burst seemed to be related to the osmotic pressure outside the bacterial cells.     

用免疫荧光单克隆抗体对脊髓灰质炎病毒抗原表位的分析

用间接免疫荧光与中和试验筛选出来的抗脊髓灰质炎2型与3型不同毒株的12个单克隆抗体,其中3个仅有免疫荧光活性,9个具有中和与免疫荧光活性。用免疫荧光活性的单克隆抗体进行试验,发现它们在识别特异性抗原表位方面与中和性单克隆抗体相似,显示出株特异的、几个毒株共同特异的或型特异的抗原表位。根据表位分布关系及特征,可以用来鉴别型内毒株的特征、毒株的抗原分析、抗原变异的研究以及疫苗相关病例的鉴别。所得结果与中和性单克抗隆抗体及T1-寡核苷酸指纹图谱分析一致。而免疫荧光单克隆抗体识别抗原表位的活性范围比中和性单克隆抗体更广。另外还发现某些兼有荧光与中和两活性的同一个单克隆抗体,用不同方法(IF与NT)进行试验时,与相同毒株出现不同表位反应,这点是值得引起注意需待进一步证实的重要问题。     

Induction of anti-EBNA-1 protein by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate treatment of human lymphoblastoid cells.

Binding of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen (EBNA-1) to BamHI-C DNA was studied by affinity column chromatography followed by immunoblotting with human serum specific for EBNA-1. Two species of EBNA-1 (68 and 70 kilodaltons) were identified in nuclear extracts of the EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma cell line Raji and not in nuclear extracts of the EBV-negative Burkitt's lymphoma cell line BJAB. Both EBNA-1s bound specifically to the region required for EBV plasmid DNA maintenance (oriP) located in the BamHI-C fragment. Upon treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, which activates latent EBV genome in Raji cells, the 68-kilodalton EBNA-1 was uncoupled from binding to EBV oriP. Nuclear extracts from 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-treated BJAB cells also uncoupled the binding of both EBNA-1s to oriP. DNA-cellulose column chromatography identified two protein species which competed for and uncoupled the binding of EBNA-1 to oriP. The two cellular competitors we called anti-EBNA-1 proteins had molecular masses of 60 and 40 kilodaltons, respectively. They were not found in nuclear extracts of BJAB cells not activated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate.
