Abstract：

By using a Li-820 infra-red CO_2 gas analyzer, an in situ measurement of Schima super-ba stem CO_2 efflux was conducted for three consecutive days from 17 to 19 October 2008. In the meantime, the stem temperature, xylem sap efflux density, and xylem CO_2 concentration were measured. The stem CO_2 efflux had a diurnal variation of "S" pattern, and differed significantly with stem diameter. There was a significant exponential relationship between stem CO_2 efflux and stem temperature (0. 24 < R~2 < 0. 78). The temperature coefficient (b) and regression coeffi-cient (R~2) were higher at nighttime than at daytime, and the Q_(10) value ranged from 2. 01 to 2. 79. The stem CO_2 efflux correlated significantly with the xylem CO_2 concentration, and the best regression curve was cubic (R~2= 0. 48). Excluding the effects of stem temperature, the stem CO_2 efflux showed a significant negative correlation with xylem sap flux density (r =-0.462). Therefore, only using simple temperature function to estimate stem CO_2 efflux would yield a significant error, and xylem sap flux should be taken into consideration in the stem CO_2 emux estimation.     

Association between microscopic brain damage as indicated by magnetization transfer imaging and anticardiolipin antibodies in neuropsychiatric lupus

The pathogenetic role of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCLs) in patients with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) without cerebral infarcts remains elusive. Magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) has proved to be a sensitive tool for detecting diffuse microscopic brain damage in NPSLE patients. In this study we examined the correlation between grey and white matter magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) parameters and the presence of IgM and IgG aCLs and lupus anticoagulant in 18 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of NPSLE but without cerebral infarcts on conventional magnetic resonance imaging. Lower grey matter mean MTR (P < 0.05), white matter mean MTR (P < 0.05), white matter peak location (P < 0.05) and grey matter peak location (trend toward statistical significance) were observed in IgM aCL-positive patients than in IgM aCL-negative patients. No significant differences were found in MTR histogram parameters with respect to IgG aCL and lupus anticoagulant status, nor with respect to anti-dsDNA or anti-ENA (extractable nuclear antigen) status. This is the first report of an association between the presence of aCLs and cerebral damage in grey and white matter in NPSLE. Our findings suggest that aCLs are associated with diffuse brain involvement in NPSLE patients.

Tyrosine phosphorylation of Munc18‐1 inhibits synaptic transmission by preventing SNARE assembly

Tyrosine kinases are important regulators of synaptic strength. Here, we describe a key component of the synaptic vesicle release machinery, Munc18‐1, as a phosphorylation target for neuronal Src family kinases (SFKs). Phosphomimetic Y473D mutation of a SFK phosphorylation site previously identified by brain phospho‐proteomics abolished the stimulatory effect of Munc18‐1 on SNARE complex formation (“SNARE‐templating”) and membrane fusion in vitro. Furthermore, priming but not docking of synaptic vesicles was disrupted in hippocampal munc18‐1‐null neurons expressing Munc18‐1_Y473D. Synaptic transmission was temporarily restored by high‐frequency stimulation, as well as by a Munc18‐1 mutation that results in helix 12 extension, a critical conformational step in vesicle priming. On the other hand, expression of non‐phosphorylatable Munc18‐1 supported normal synaptic transmission. We propose that SFK‐dependent Munc18‐1 phosphorylation may constitute a potent, previously unknown mechanism to shut down synaptic transmission, via direct occlusion of a Synaptobrevin/VAMP2 binding groove and subsequent hindrance of conformational changes in domain 3a responsible for vesicle priming. This would strongly interfere with the essential post‐docking SNARE‐templating role of Munc18‐1, resulting in a largely abolished pool of releasable synaptic vesicles.

胸内正压对正常人左室功能影响及其力学原理

目的：探讨胸内正压对正常人左室射血及充盈的影响及其力学原理。方法：超声心动图观测30例正常人初始时与标准乏氏动作张力期10s时左室舒张末容积（LVEDV）、左室收缩末容积（LVESV）、每搏量（SV）、射血分值（EF）、流入道血流速度（E峰、A峰）、E／A值、二尖瓣环舒张早期运动速度（e）及舒张早期充盈压（E/e）的变化。结果：与初始时比较,标准乏氏动作张力期LVEDV、LVESV及SV减低而心率（陬）增快（P均〈0．001）,EF值增加,但无统计学意义（P〉0．05）;E峰与E／A值减低（P均〈O．05）;e没有变化（P〉0．05）．E／e值减低（P〈O．05）。结论：胸内正压对左室游离壁的力学作用促进了左室收缩运动而阻碍了左室舒张运动,会引起EF值增加,E峰及E／A值减低;2,胸内正压降低了肺静脉系统与心脏的跨壁压力,增加了血流阻力也是导致肺静脉系统与左室血液回流减少．E峰减低．E／e值减低的一个原因。
