TP、VEGF在结直肠癌中的表达及临床病理研究

目的探讨胸苷磷酸化酶(TP)、血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的表达及其与结直肠癌临床病理特征的关系。方法应用免疫组织化学EnVisionTM法检测88例结直肠癌组织中TP、VEGF的表达,结合临床病理特征进行分析。结果正常结直肠黏膜上皮不表达TP和VEGF;TP表达于结直肠癌细胞和(或)间质内单个核细胞,VEGF表达于癌细胞。TP和VEGF的阳性表达率分别为42.05%(37/88)和23.86%(21/88)。TP和VEGF在淋巴结转移及Duke’sⅢ-Ⅳ期患者中的阳性率高于无淋巴结转移及Duke’sⅠ-Ⅱ期患者(P<0.05);TP阳性表达率在癌组织浸润至浆膜及浆膜外组高于浸润程度较浅组(P<0.05)。结论TP和VEGF的异常表达可能促进结直肠癌的浸润与转移。

植物对土壤中铀的吸收与富集

核工业发展导致重金属铀排放和扩散,并造成了地表土壤的污染,对人类的生存环境产生了极其不利的影响。如何修复铀污染土壤成为亟待解决的问题。近年来发展起来的植物修复技术以其成本低廉、安全和环保的特点成为修复铀污染土壤的新选择。寻找理想的铀富集植物是这一技术的基础和关键。该文通过实验模拟铀污染的土壤（土壤中铀的浓度为100 mg.kg–1）,进行一次和二次铀污染土壤的植物修复后,从4个方面对植物修复铀污染土壤效果进行评估,即富集铀的浓度、生物提取量、生物富集系数（BFS）和转运系数（TFS）。实验结果表明：第1次修复时,四季香油麦菜（Lactuca dolichophylla）地上部富集铀的浓度为1.67×103 mg.kg–1,生物富集系数和转移系数均大于3;第2次修复时,麦冬（Ophiopogon japoni-cus）富集铀的浓度与第1次修复相比变化不大,而吊兰（Chlorophytum comosum）、四季豆（Phaseolus vulgaris）和艾蒿（Artemisia lavandulaefolia）富集铀的浓度与第1次修复相比均减少4–8倍;施加土壤改良剂鸡粪肥、海藻肥和柠檬酸后发现海藻肥和柠檬酸能够增强植物对铀污染土壤的修复;对两次修复土壤中铀的形态进行对比分析,发现二次修复时土壤中生物有效态铀的含量降低,造成第2次修复的难度增加。     

黑龙江五大连池的生态价值分析

黑龙江五大连池处于大小兴安岭和松嫩平原的交错地带,在过去210万年间经历了7次大规模的火山喷发,是中国保存最为完好的内陆火山遗迹,2010年被我国政府遴选为世界自然遗产提名地.为了科学、准确地阐述五大连池生态方面的突出普遍价值,本文在<实施世界遗产公约操作指南>的框架下,整合野外调查数据和文献资料,在与其他相关世界遗产地充分比较的基础上,较为全面地分析了五大连池的生态价值.五大连池植物地理特征交错,区系来源广泛;物种组成相对丰富;发育在熔岩台地上的矮曲林反映了植物的特殊适应过程:特有成因形成了陆生和水生两个完整的植被演替序列;陆生植被演替同时存在普通演替和斑块动态演替两种模式,在熔岩地貌上斑块动态演替模式更为随机而高效.上述生态特征充分展示了五大连池正在进行的生物生态过程,体现了五大连池独特的生态价值,为后续有效保护和深入科学研究提供了支撑.     

胡瓜钝绥螨对日光大棚茄子上烟粉虱的控制作用

为了评价胡瓜钝绥螨在我国日光大棚中对茄子上烟粉虱虱的控制作用。笔者研究了在24～34℃下胡瓜钝绥螨以烟粉为猎物时的发育历期,并在我国山东省寿光市的蔬菜基地上开展了利用胡瓜钝绥螨控制日光大棚茄子上烟粉虱的研究与应用。结果表明:胡瓜钝绥螨能够取食烟粉虱的卵、成虫、若虫及伪蛹;利用胡瓜钝绥螨能有效地控制烟粉虱成虫、卵、若虫种群数量的增长。根据胡瓜钝绥螨和烟粉虱的生物学特性,结合大棚茄子栽培过程中的环境条件,笔者提出了在日光大棚中应用胡瓜钝绥螨控制茄子上烟粉虱的策略:(1)在茄子的整个生长季节(250d)中需释放胡瓜钝绥螨4～6次,苗期每次每株释放5～10头,结果期每次每株释放20～40头;(2)释放胡瓜钝绥螨的生防区比常规化防区减少农药使用18次;(3)安装防虫网、适时释放胡瓜钝绥螨是生防成功之关键,生防区配合使用黄板效果更好。

steve bAccumulation of nerve growth factor and its receptors in the uterus and dorsal root ganglia in a mouse model of adenomyosis

Background  

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease, which is accompanied by a series of immunological and neuroendocrinological changes. Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays a critical role in producing pain, neural plasticity, immunocyte aggregation and release of inflammatory factors. This study aimed to investigate the expression of NGF and its two receptors in uteri and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in an adenomyosis mouse model, as well as their relationship with the severity of adenomyosis.     

Oncogenic RAS regulates BRIP1 expression to induce dissociation of BRCA1 from chromatin, inhibit DNA repair, and promote senescence

Here, we report a cell-intrinsic mechanism by which oncogenic RAS promotes senescence while predisposing cells to senescence bypass by allowing for secondary hits. We show that oncogenic RAS inactivates the BRCA1 DNA repair complex by dissociating BRCA1 from chromatin. This event precedes senescence-associated cell cycle exit and coincides with the accumulation of DNA damage. Downregulation of BRIP1, a physiological partner of BRCA1 in the DNA repair pathway, triggers BRCA1 chromatin dissociation. Conversely, ectopic BRIP1 rescues BRCA1 chromatin dissociation and suppresses RAS-induced senescence and the DNA damage response. Significantly, cells undergoing senescence do not exhibit a BRCA1-dependent DNA repair response when exposed to DNA damage. Overall, our study provides a molecular basis by which oncogenic RAS promotes senescence. Because DNA damage has the potential to produce additional "hits" that promote senescence bypass, our findings may also suggest one way a small minority of cells might bypass senescence and contribute to cancer development.     

Rheb1 is required for mTORC1 and myelination in postnatal brain development

mTor kinase is involved in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. The roles of mTor activators, Rheb1 and Rheb2, have not been established in?vivo. Here, we report that Rheb1, but not Rheb2, is critical for embryonic survival and mTORC1 signaling. Embryonic deletion of Rheb1 in neural progenitor cells?abolishes mTORC1 signaling in developing brain and increases mTORC2 signaling. Remarkably, embryonic and early postnatal brain development appears grossly normal in these Rheb1f/f,Nes-cre mice with the notable exception of deficits of myelination. Conditional expression of Rheb1 transgene in neural progenitors increases mTORC1 activity and promotes myelination in the brain. In addition the Rheb1 transgene rescues mTORC1 signaling and hypomyelination in the Rheb1f/f,Nes-cre mice. Our study demonstrates that Rheb1 is essential for mTORC1 signaling and myelination in the brain, and suggests that mTORC1 signaling plays a role in selective cellular adaptations, rather than general cellular viability.     

Electrochemiluminescence of palmatine being oxidized by electrogenerated hydroxyl radical and its analytical application

A strong electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of palmatine in NaOH medium was observed at a vaseline‐impregnated graphite anode. The ECL production could be described as follows: hydroxyl radical (OH^?) was generated via the oxidation of hydroxyl group (OH^‐) in NaOH medium, and the formed OH^? subsequently oxidized palmatine base converted from palmatine in NaOH medium to the excited state oxypalmatine (oxypalmatine*). As the oxypalmatine* went back to its ground state, a stronger chemiluminescence was produced. Based on the ECL of palmatine, an ECL method for the determination of palmatine was proposed. An ECL signal of palmatine in NaOH solution was obtained by applying direct current of 15 mA to the vaseline‐impregnated graphite anode. The ECL intensity was rectilinear with palmatine concentration in the range of 8.0 × 10^?7 to 2.0 × 10^?5 mol l^?1 and the limit of detection (signal‐to‐noise = 3) was 3 × 10^?7 mol l^?1. The proposed method was applied to the determination of palmatine in pharmaceutical preparations. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
