重组人IL6／2融合蛋白对6.5Gy照射小鼠造血功能恢复的影响

观察了ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２对６．５Ｇｙγ线照射ＮＩＨ小鼠第１０天造血功能恢复的影响。结果表明：照射小鼠连续４ｄ给予ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２２５０μｇ·ｋｇ－１·ｄ－１,其脾重、ＣＦＵ－８、骨髓有核细胞数及ＣＭ－ＣＦＵ分别比对照组增加５９．０％、２７８．５％、５７．９％和１３８．２％,统计学处理均有显著差异;对此四项指标的改善也明显优于２５μｇ组。另外,２５０μｇ剂量组小鼠外周血象３０ｄ的动态观察结果表明,ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２不但能明显提高红细胞和血红蛋白的最低值,而且能使血小板的恢复提前。提示ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２在促进血小板生成和促进红系造血方面可能具有良好的应用前景。     

Peony Glycosides Protect Against Corticosterone-Induced Neurotoxicity in PC12 Cells

Preclinical and clinical investigations have shown the involvement of dysregulation of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis in the pathogenesis of depression. Hypercortisolemia and the associated hippocampal atrophy were observed in patients with depression, which could be ameliorated by the treatment with antidepressants. Therefore, neuroprotection has been proposed to be one of the acting mechanisms of antidepressant. Previous studies in our laboratory have demonstrated the antidepressant-like activity of total glycosides of peony (TGP) in mice. This study aimed to examine the effect of TGP treatment on corticosterone-induced neurotoxicity in cultured rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Treating the cells with corticosterone at 200 μM for 48 h caused apoptotic cell death. The cytotoxicity was associated with the activation of caspase-3 activity and the decrease in the mRNA ratio of bcl-2 to bax. TPG treatment at increasing doses (1–10 mg/l) protected against the corticosterone-induced toxicity in PC12 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The cytoprotection afforded by TGP treatment was associated with the inhibition of caspase-3 activity and the up-regulation of bcl-2/bax mRNA ratio. The anti-apoptotic effect of TGP is therefore likely mediated by the suppression of the mitochondrial pathway leading to apoptosis.     

O-Hydroxyl- or o-amino benzylamine-tacrine hybrids: Multifunctional biometals chelators,antioxidants, and inhibitors of cholinesterase activity and amyloid-β aggregation

In an effort to identify novel multifunctional drug candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a series of hybrid molecules were synthesised by reacting N-(aminoalkyl)tacrine with salicylic aldehyde or derivatives of 2-aminobenzaldehyde. These compounds were then evaluated as multifunctional anti-Alzheimer’s disease agents. All of the hybrids are potential biometal chelators, and in addition, most of them were better antioxidants and inhibitors of cholinesterases and amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation than the lead compound tacrine. Compound 7c has the potential to be a candidate for AD therapy: it is a much better inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) than tacrine (IC₅₀: 0.55 nM vs 109 nM), has good biometal chelation ability, is able to inhibit Aβ aggregation and has moderate antioxidant activity (1.22 Trolox equivalents).     

Isolation and Characterization of Antifungal Substances from Burkholderia sp. Culture Broth

A new antagonistic Burkholderia strain, designated MP-1 and producing antifungal activities against various filamentous plant pathogenic fungi, was isolated from the rhizoshere in the Naju area. Cultural characteristic studies strongly suggested that this strain belongs to the genus Burkholderia. The nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene (1491 pb) of strain MP-1 exhibited close similarity (99% to 100%) with other Burkholderia 16S rRNA genes. Extraction of fermentation broth of Burkholderia sp. MP-1 and various separations and purification steps led to isolation of four pure active molecules. The chemical structure of these four compounds—named phenylacetic acid, hydrocinnamic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetate methyl ester—was established on the basis on their gas chromatography–electron impact–mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS) and trimethylsilation GC-EI-MS data. The four isolated compounds inhibited filamentous fungal growth on potato dextrose agar medium supplemented with 100 mg/L of phenylacetic acid, hydrocinnamic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and 4-hydroxyphenylacetate methyl ester individually.

ART患者早期流产组织染色体异常及相关因素分析

目的:分析ART患者早期流产组织染色体异常及其相关影响因素。方法:回顾性分析2013-2017年ART患者行早期流产组织染色体检查的409例样本,分析胚胎染色体非整倍性发生及其与女方年龄、不孕年限、不孕因素、促排卵指标之间的关系。结果:ART流产患者中,流产组织染色体非整倍性发生率为57.46%,发生频次以16三体占比最高(23.95%),其次是22三体(13.45%)及Turner(9.24%)。流产组织染色体非整倍性患者平均年龄高于染色体整倍性患者(P0.001)。16三体组患者年龄低于22三体(P0.01)及Turner组(P0.05)。16三体组患者平均Gn使用量低于22三体组(P0.05)。16三体组患者移植15天血HCG值低于22三体(P0.05)及Turner组(P0.01)。结论:ART患者流产组织染色体非整倍性与女方年龄正相关,但16三体及Turner的发生与女方年龄相关性不大,且16三体更容易引发早期流产。     

Molecular cloning and characterization of AAAS-V2, a novel splice variant of human AAAS

Triple-A syndrome (MIM 231550; also known as Allgrove syndrome) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH)-resistant adrenal insufficiency, achalasia of the oesophageal cardia and alacrima. Much initial molecular analysis supported that Triple-A syndrome was caused by mutations in AAAS, a WD-repeat protein gene. Here we report cloning and characterization of a novel splice variant of human AAAS, which we named AAAS-v2, which is located on the human chromosome 12p13. The cDNA is 1703bp, encoding a 513-amino acid polypeptide, which contains three WD40 domains, one less than the original which we called AAAS-v1 (Gen Bank: NM_015665.3). RT-PCR analysis in our work revealed that AAAS-v2 and AAAS-v1 were ubiquitously detected in human multiple tissue cDNA (MTC) panels (CLONTECH).The nucleotide sequence reported in this paper has been submitted to GenBank under accession number AY237818.Xin Li: These two authors contributed equally to this paper.Chaoneng Ji: These two authors contributed equally to this paper.     

金门岛北部海域浮游植物的季节变动及与环境的关联

采用2013—2014年四季度月在金门岛北部海域获取的浮游植物及环境因子监测数据, 分析该区浮游植物的群落结构和季节变化及其与温度、盐度、悬浮物、营养盐、叶绿素等的关系, 初步探讨涉海工程建设对浮游植物群落的潜在影响。结果显示, 鉴定出的浮游植物隶属3门43属82种(不含未定种), 群落构成以硅藻为主, 其次是甲藻, 蓝藻仅1种。物种组成的季节差异较大, 3月物种贫乏, 1月次之, 7月和11月最丰富。四季丰度平均为47.09×103 cells/L, 1月丰度最高, 7月次之, 11月最低, 3月高于11月少许。四季优势种均为硅藻, 13个优势种分别为柔弱几内亚藻(Guinardia delicatula)、短角弯角藻(Ecampia zoodicaus)、骨条藻(Skeletonema spp.)、具槽帕拉藻(Paralia sulcata)、微小海链藻(Thalassiosira exigua)、标志星杆藻(Asterionella notula)、旋链角毛藻(Chaetoceros curvisetus)、新月菱形藻(Nitzchia closterium)、派格棍形藻(Bacillaria paxillifera)、异常角毛藻(Chaetoceros abmormis)、小细柱藻(Leptocylindrus minutum)、宽角曲舟藻(Pleurosigma angulatum)和美丽曲舟藻(Pleurosigma formosum)。不同季节优势种有一定程度交错, 仅在单季占优的有6种, 有2/3在3个以上季节出现, 具槽帕拉藻、骨条藻为四季优势种。浮游植物物种多样性和均匀度总体较好, 群落结构稳定。与毗邻海区相比, 本区物种丰富度偏低, 丰度高于毗邻海区, 种类组成相似, 优势种却有较大差别。Pearson相关分析表明, 溶解无机氮及活性磷酸盐仅在1月与丰度存在极显著的正相关, 是促使丰度为四季最高的原因。涉海工程施工产生的悬浮物和冲击波是影响浮游植物群落的主要因素, 大量海洋工程建设案例表明, 施工期造成的浮游植物丰度下降趋势和优势种更替混乱在工程结束后能得以恢复。
