南充城市扩展中的景观生态安全格局

基于景观生态安全格局理论和RS、GIS技术,选择地形条件、洪水危害、土壤侵蚀、植被覆盖、地质灾害和生物保护6个要素作为城市空间扩展的生态约束条件,分析了南充市的生态安全等级分布,依据最小积累阻力模型,构建了生态廊道和生态节点等来加强生态网络的空间联系,在保障生态安全的基础上对城市合理的扩展趋势以及空间布局的优化进行分析.结果表明:南充市市域范围内整体生态安全状况较好,低生态安全水平区域较集中地分布于市区南部的嘉陵江下流区域和城郊西部山地;生态要素是南充市城市空间未来扩展的重要制约条件;南充市东部、北部存在发展空间,以卫星城镇模式增长可最大程度地保证南充市的生态安全.     

Heat shock protein 70 / MAGE-1 tumor vaccine can enhance the potency of MAGE-1–specific cellular immune responses in vivo

The cancer-testis antigen encoded by the MAGE-1 gene is an attractive antigen in tumor immunotherapy because it can be processed as a foreign antigen by the immune system and generate tumor-specific cellular immune response in vivo. However, increase of the potency of MAGE-1 DNA vaccines is still needed. The high degree of sequence homology and intrinsic immunogenicity of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) have prompted the suggestion that HSP70 might have immunotherapeutic potential, as HSP70 purified from malignant and virally infected cells can transfer and deliver antigenic peptides to antigen-presenting cells to elicit peptide-specific immunity. In this research, we evaluated the enhancement of linkage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP70 to MAGE-1 gene of the potency of antigen-specific immunity elicited by naked DNA vaccines. We found that vaccines containing MAGE-1-HSP70 fusion genes enhanced the frequency of MAGE-1–specific cytotoxic T cells in contract to vaccines containing the MAGE-1 gene alone. More importantly, the fusion converted a less effective DNA vaccine into one with significant potency against established MAGE-1–expressing tumors. These results indicate that linkage of HSP70 to MAGE-1 gene may greatly enhance the potency of DNA vaccines, and generate specific antitumor immunity against MAGE-1–expressing tumors.

利用红外相机对高黎贡山中段西坡兽类和鸟类多样性初步调查

高黎贡山地区属于全球生物多样性热点地区之一。长期以来,受地形复杂且植被浓密等限制,对该地区生物多样性现状缺乏全面深入的调查。2013年11月至2015年9月期间,通过布设红外相机,我们对云南高黎贡山国家级自然保护区西坡怒江州泸水县片马区域的兽类和鸟类多样性进行了初步调查,试图进一步补充该区域鸟兽多样性本底资料。调查期内共监测了41个不同相机位点,累计9,503个相机日,拍摄到808组独立有效照片。经鉴定包括兽类21种和鸟类24种,分属于10目21科38属,其中怒江金丝猴Rhinopithecus strykeri是近年来在高黎贡山地区新发现的灵长类动物。灵长目、肉食目、偶蹄目、雀形目、鸡形目和啮齿目等类群的相对多样性指数较高,且分布广泛。进一步对7种丰富度较高物种的出现时间段分析发现：（1）熊猴Macacaassamensis、怒江金丝猴和血雉Ithaginis cruentus的日活动规律峰值出现在上午和下午;（2）橙腹长吻松鼠Dremomys lokriah和紫啸鸫Myophonus caeruleus的日活动高峰出现在中午,但前者在黄昏活动相对较多;（3）黄喉貂Martes flavigula和野猪Sus scrofa具有一定的夜行性,但野猪的夜行性更强。本研究提供了高黎贡山中段西坡兽类和鸟类多样性现状的基础数据,有助于今后深入研究和推进本地区生物多样性保护。     

Hybrid UCB banks in China – public storage as ethical biocapital

In China, under the heading of “private-for-public” banking, hybrid UCB banking has been politically supported by the government and is based on regulation developed since the 1990s. Although hybrid UCB banking was regarded as an “ethical” alternative to private UCB banking due to its accessibility to “the people”, this study, based on archival research and interviews with bankers, medical professionals, scientists and pregnant women contends that the practice of this ideal needs to be closely scrutinized. Analysing UCB bank networks in China in terms of “public biovalue” and “ethical biocapital”, we illustrate, first, how the synergy of public and private storage of UCB in hybrid models benefit private storage, and how transparency and oversight may increase donation and the uptake of UCB. Second, we describe the problems associated with this hybrid model. Finally, we show how the biovalue of public storage is used as ethical biocapital to buttress UCB networks.     

Potential mechanisms for the effects of tea extracts on the attachment,biofilm formation and cell size of Streptococcus mutans

Tea can inhibit the attachment of Streptococcus mutans to surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation. Five commercial tea extracts were screened for their ability to inhibit attachment and biofilm formation by two strains of S. mutans on glass and hydroxyapatite surfaces. The mechanisms of these effects were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and phytochemical screening. The results indicated that extracts of oolong tea most effectively inhibited attachment and extracts of pu-erh tea most effectively inhibited biofilm formation. SEM images showed that the S. mutans cells treated with extracts of oolong tea, or grown in medium containing extracts of pu-erh tea, were coated with tea components and were larger with more rounded shapes. The coatings on the cells consisted of flavonoids, tannins and indolic compounds. The ratio of tannins to simple phenolics in each of the coating samples was ～3:1. This study suggests potential mechanisms by which tea components may inhibit the attachment and subsequent biofilm formation of S. mutans on tooth surfaces, such as modification of cell surface properties and blocking of the activity of proteins and the structures used by the bacteria to interact with surfaces.
