钙离子和蛋白激酶C对大鼠缺血海马脑片谷氨酸堆积的影响

采用大鼠海马脑片体外缺血模型观察钙离子和蛋白激酶Ｃ（ＰＫＣ）对神经元胞外谷氨酸（ＧＬＵ）堆积的影响,结果显示：海马脑片在体外“缺血”１０ｍｉｎ,ＧＬＵ在胞外的浓度增加４倍（从３２±４升高到１１３±１０ｐｍｏｌ／（ｍｉｎ．ｍｇＰｒ）．ｎ＝６）．Ｎ型钙通道拮抗剂蝙蝠葛苏林碱（ＤＳＬ）或无钙培养液均能有效抑制这种浓度的升高（Ｐ＜０．０１）．提示缺血１０ｍｉｎ引发的ＧＬＵ浓度升高是受Ｃａ２＋内流调控的．当脑片在缺血状况下孵育３０ｍｉｎ,ＤＳＬ只部分抑制这种ＧＬＵ堆积,而无钙培养液则无影响,但这额外的ＧＬＵ堆积可被ＰＫＣ抑制剂Ｈ－７完全阻断,而被ＰＫＣ激动剂ＰＤＢ所加强;且不受钙调蛋白抑制剂Ｃａｌｍｄａｚｏｌｉｕｍ和８－溴－ｃＡＭＰ影响．提示缺血３０ｍｉｎ,胞外ＧＬＵ的堆积受钙内流和ＰＫＣ双重调控。     

Salicylic acid inhibits the biosynthesis of ethylene in detached rice leaves

The effects of salicylic acid (SA) on ethylene biosynthesis in detached rice leaves were investigated. SA at pH 3.5 effectively inhibited ethylene production within 2 h of its application. It inhibited the conversion of ACC to ethylene, but did not affect the levels of ACC and conjugated ACC. Thus, the inhibitory effect of SA resulted from the inhibition of both synthesis of ACC and the conversion of ACC to ethylene.Abbreviations ACC 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid - EFE ethylene-forming enzyme - SA salicylic acid     

Trace elements in hair of blackfoot disease

Blackfoot disease is a peripheral vascular disease resulting in gangrene of the lower extremities. Though extensive epidemiological study has implicated that high arsenic content in artesian well water of the endemic area, bears some important connection with the disease, the etiology of the disease is still unknown. In this study, attention is paid to multielement determination in order to find out whether the trace elements in hair of Blackfoot disease patients are different from those of the controls. Experimental results indicate that the concentrations of As and Se in hair of patients are significantly higher than those of the controls, but Ca and Zn are significantly lower than those of the controls. The possible connection of these elements with the etiology of the disease is discussed.     

不同磷脂和糖脂对莱氏衣原体膜上Mg~（2＋）－ATPase活性的影响

莱氏衣原体膜上Ｍｇ~（２＋）－ＡＴＰａｓｅ用ＤＯＣ溶解后,经Ｓｅｐｈａｒｏｓｅ－６Ｂ和ＤＥＡＥ－ＣｅｌｌｕｌｏｓｅＤＥ－５２离子交换柱,得到了部分纯化的Ｍｇ~（２＋）ＡＴＰａｓｅ,并将此ＡＴＰａｓｅ与不同极性头部的磷脂和膜糖脂重组,研究了不同的极性头部的磷脂和膜糖脂对ＡＴＰａｓｅ活性的影响。此酶的活性不依赖酸性磷脂,ＰＧ、ＤＰＧ、大豆磷脂等明显抑制酶活性,中性磷脂ＤＭＰＣ、ＰＥ、ＰＣ则能增加酶活性,其中尤以非双层脂ＰＥ的作用最为明显。从莱氏衣原体膜上提取的糖脂（ＭＧＤＧ,ＤＧＤＧ）单独和ＡＴＰａｓｅ重组时,酶活性增加并不明显,当ＭＧＤＧ和ＤＧＤＧ以等比例混合时,能大大地增加酶活性。这表明Ｍｇ~（２＋）－ＡＴＰａｓｅ的活性很大程度上与磷脂的表面电荷及磷脂的组成相关。     

在中国壮族家系中发现的一例-α~T/-α~Q复合β~0β~0珠蛋白基因型

本文报道在我国广西隆林壮族中发现一个罕見的HbQ复合α,β地中海贫血家系。先证者女,18岁,贫血面容,肝脾肿大。化学结构分析确证本Hb变异体为HbQ Thailand[α74(EF3)Asp→His]。血红蛋白组成以及α和β珠蛋白基因分析结果表明,先证者的珠蛋白基因型为-α~Q/-α~T复合β°/β°(IVSI-1G→T/Codon17A→T);先证者父的基因型为-‘α~Q/-复合β~O/β~A(IVSI-1G→T/β~A);先证母的基因型为-α~T/αα复合β~O/β~A(Codon17A→T/β~A)。     

EFFECTS OF VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE ON ACTIVITIES OF SUCCINIC DEHYDROGENASE AND ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE IN RAT HEPATOMA CELLS

Using cytochemical method,microspectrophotometry and image analysis,effects of va-soactive intestinal peptide(VIP)on activities of succinic dehydrogenase(SDH)and alkalinephosphatase(ALP)in rat hepatoma cells were studied in vitro.The results showed that thehepatoma cell expressed potent positive reactions of SDH and ALP,the positive positionswere located at the cell membranes and/or cytoplasm.Having been treated with VIP,ALPdecreased obviously in activity(P<0. 01,compared with hepatoma cells untreated by VIP).The sites of ALP activty were chiefly located at the cell membranes,particularly at the cell-cell contacts.Cultured rat hepatoma cells had intensive SDH activity in their cytoplasm.Compared with untreated eclls,there was no marked difference in the intensity of SDH activ-ity in VIP-treated hepatoma cells(P>0.05).
