海南大田自然保护区海南坡鹿种群动态研究

笔者自1986年起对仅存于海南大田国家级保护区围栏内外两个坡鹿种群进行了连续4年追踪研究,就数量、年净增长率、年均增长率、年龄组成、性比、成幼比、母仔比、及补充率和死亡率进行了分析。围栏内外坡鹿年均增长率22.5％和10.6％,年净增长率逐年呈下降趋势。补充率下降是围栏内坡鹿年净增长率下降的主要原因,而这是由于密度过高、食物不足造成的;围栏外坡鹿年净增长率下降是死亡率增加的结果,偷猎是主要因素。对性比、成幼比、母仔比变化的分析也得出了同样的结论。本文最后提出了保护建议。     

皖南、赣北奥陶纪笔石立体标本形成环境的初步研究*

皖南、赣东北和赣西北地区奥陶纪笔石地层发育良好,笔石化石丰富。宁国组和胡乐组均为笔石相地层,但笔石的保存特点并不相同。立体保存的黄铁矿化笔石标本主要见于宁国组,而胡乐组的笔石几乎均为薄膜标本。在比较宁国组和胡乐组在岩性、颜色、化石、矿物和元素等方面的特点后发现,两者有较明显的差异。这表明宁国组和胡乐组形成时的环境是不同的,前者为弱还原环境,后者为较强的还原环境,而在研究区内影响笔石体立体保存的主要因素为还原环境和较高的铁含量。在还原环境下,铁可呈Fe~(2+)存在,笔石体内含有硫,死亡后经降解作用可生成H_2S;H_2S和Fe~(2+)结合可使笔石体黄铁矿化,从而使笔石体硬化而呈立体保存下来。宁国组的铁含量明显高于胡乐组,这似可以解释宁国组产有较多笔石立体标本的原因。     

中三叠世多板类在我国的首次发现

几种哺乳动物精子顶体膜囊泡形成的研究

在猪、绵羊、地鼠这几种哺乳动物的精子体外获能后,在顶体反应的超显微结构中观察到:精子顶体膜囊泡化呈现多种形态,但囊泡都是由精子顶体的双层外膜多位点自我融合而形成的,质膜并不参与囊泡化,这一结果与前人报道的不同。     

Molecular cloning of genes related to aflatoxin biosynthesis by differential screening.

A differential hybridization strategy was used to clone genes associated with aflatoxin biosynthesis. A genomic library, formed between nuclear DNA and the pUC19 plasmid, was screened with three different cDNA probes by the colony hybridization procedure. Nineteen clones were selected; all were positively correlated with and presumably enriched with genes associated with aflatoxin production. Some of these clones were further characterized by using them as probes in Northern (RNA blot) hybridizations. Five clones hybridized strongly with some polyadenylated RNAs formed during the transition to or during idiophase when aflatoxin was produced. However, little or no corresponding hybridization occurred with polyadenylated RNAs formed in early and mid-log growth phase. Two of the clones were further used as probes to hybridize with polyadenylated RNAs formed under aflatoxin-permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. Hybridization occurred with RNA species formed under the permissive temperature only.     

Common denominators in the etiology and pathology of visceral lesions of cystic fibrosis and Keshan disease

The common denominator of a unique disseminated multi-focal milliary myocardial hyaline necrosis and fibrosis in Keshan disease (KSD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) and a commonality of the affected age groups of fetuses and preschool children led to the review of existing KSD autopsy material to search for pancreatic and hepatic lesions considered pathognomonic for CF. Pancreatic lesions considered pathognomonic for CF were found in 595, or 35% of 1700 documented cases of KSD. The pancreatic lesions were limited to tissues of fetuses and preschool children. Adults dying of KSD had diagnostic lesions limited to the cardiovascular system, liver, and skeletal muscle. Varying degrees of focal biliary cirrhosis were identified in 850, or 50% of the KSD autopsies, and 85, or 5% developed severe lobular cirrhosis. The common denominator in CF and KSD appears to be a primary or induced secondary selenium deficiency in age-susceptable humans, prenatally at or around 22 wk of fetal life, during early postnatal life, or during the rapid-growth preschool years. The basic difference between the natural history of CF and KSD is that the selenium deficiency is totally environmental in KSD and appears to be the result of a maternal malabsorptive syndrome or an abnormality of selenium transfer in CF.     

背联体贻贝棘尾虫的形态,形态发生及其调节现象

背联体贻贝棘尾虫的每一虫腹面含有相当于正常棘尾虫的腹面纤毛系统,背联两虫任意一侧属于一虫的背面有4列背触毛,它们的排列分布相似于正常棘昆虫的第1—4列背触毛,另一虫背面打2列背触毛,它们相似于正常棘尾虫的第5、6列背触毛。结果表明,背联体棘尾虫是其中两虫各以背面第4列和第5列背触毛之间的皮层区相联接形成的。也有的背联体中背部皮层联接区有变化。无性分裂中背联两虫皮层纤毛结构的形态发生相似于正常棘尾虫,并且两者其皮层纤毛器如口围带、额腹横棘毛、左、右缘棘毛和背触毛等相应结构的发育是同步进行的,推测背联两虫的皮层发育既是相对独立的,又有某种机制控制着相互间的协调。背联体棘昆虫在无性生殖周期中总是经历着一个调节成单体的过程,认为这于背联两虫都具有一套结构功能正常的运动胞器(特别是口围带),而产生向不同方向运动的“不协调”的力有关。     

急性缺氧性缺氧时心脏功能的改变

F_(IO_2)(吸入气氧浓度)为12.35、9.87及7.7l％,分别吸入10、8及5min时,心功能呈代偿性增强改变。F_(IO_2)为9.37％、吸入20min时心功能的变化趋势与9.87％8min时仍基本相同。继发性缺二氧化碳对缺氧引起的心功能代偿性增强,在一定程度上起抵消作用。F_(IO_2)为9.87％时的缺氧程度约相当于18km高空加压供氧总压值为15.3kPa(115mmHg)时的缺氧。单纯从缺氧因素考虑,将总压值由常用的17.3kPa(130mmHg)降低为15.3kPa是可允许的。     

Survival of genetically engineered Escherichia coli in natural soil and river water

Twelve derivatives of Escherichia coli strain HB101 which contained different sizes of plasmids ranging from 3.9 Kb to 48 Kb and encoding resistance to various antibiotics were used. When these organisms were introduced into natural river water, the population declined rapidly and by day 3, the majority (i.e. more than 99.9%) of them could no longer be detected on antibiotic-amended culture plates. If the river water was filter sterilized first, the added organisms maintained their population for up to 7 d without any significant decrease in numbers. Similar results were also observed in sterilized tap water or distilled water. This indicated that the disappearance of these organisms in the aquatic environment was caused mainly by biotic factor(s). The loss of the ability to grow in the presence of antibiotics by some of the E. coli was not observed unless they were allowed to grow in the antibiotic-free environment first. When the test organisms were added to natural silt loam, a large portion of the original population still remained viable after 16 d. There was no relationship between the percentage survival of E. coli in natural river water and the sizes of plasmid harboured. On the other hand, when these bacteria were added to natural soil, survival appeared to increase as plasmid size increased. and accepted 19 August 1989     

PHA激活的脐血T细胞条件培养液对人骨髓CFU-c的抑制

本文研究了PHA刺激18小时收获的脐血T细胞条件培养液(PHA-TCM)对正常人骨髓CFU-c的影响。结果显示PHA-TCM能够显著抑制CFU-c的生长,这种抑制与PHA-TCM浓度有关。并发现经PHA-TCM作用后M型集落比例明显降低。PHA-TCM中未检出IFN和IL-2活性。进一步研究证实,PHA-TCM中CFU-c抑制活性是一种对酸碱敏感对热相对不敏感的蛋白质,其分子量大于10,000道尔顿。
