三叶虫萤幼虫叠背行为

为了探究三叶虫萤幼虫的行为学特征,促进三叶虫萤的资源利用与人工养殖,本文采用控制变量法以三叶虫萤末龄幼虫为研究对象分析了幼虫在不同时间和空间密度的叠背现象,采取LY-WN超清显微系统拍照分析了三叶虫萤幼虫的背腹部结构与足部结构。结果表明,三叶虫萤各龄幼虫均表现出独特的叠背行为,且按照叠背的重合度区分,可分为相对叠背和集群叠背。叠背率随种群密度增加而增加,叠背率与种群密度的相关系数为0.8358。三叶虫萤幼虫的足含有较多的刚毛,且跗节延伸有倒勾;背部较宽,且具有起伏和分节结构;腹部含有大量小而细的刚毛和起伏结构。因此,三叶虫萤幼虫的叠背行为可能与足部结构、背腹部结构、接触时间、种群密度具有较大关系,且幼虫的叠背行为可能对其栖息、防卫、取食、迁移等行为活动具有重大意义。     

A comparison between continuous and batch processes to produce phosphatidylserine in the efficient and green aqueous-solid system

The efficient and environmentally friendly aqueous-solid systems employed Triton-X-100-modified silica as the “artificial interface” to adsorb phosphatidylcholine (PC) in purely aqueous solutions and silica-adsorbed PC was successfully used for phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated transphosphatidylation. Three kinds of silicas with different sizes were employed to investigate advantages and disadvantages of batch and continuous technologies for PLD-catalyzed transphosphatidylation in aqueous-solid systems. The highest yields of product were obtained in the batch technology, but the continuous production had the simplest operational process and highest space–time yield. After transphosphatidylation, the product adsorbed on carriers were eluted by coconut oil and used to manufacture relevant hard, soft, and micro-capsules. Special attention has been paid to the preparation of microcapsules. Toxic solvents were completely avoided in the whole technological process including production and product packaging. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

新标志物BDH1用于肝细胞癌术后生存的预测价值分析

目的:检测肝细胞癌组织中3-羟基丁酸脱氢酶1 (3-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase 1,BDH1)BDH1的表达情况,探讨其与肝细胞癌患者临床病理特征和术后生存的关系。方法:选取135例肝细胞癌根治性手术患者,整理临床病理及随访资料,调取相应的存档石蜡组织标本切片,采用免疫组化SP方法检测BDH1的表达,对染色结果评分,结合临床病理及随访数据进行统计分析。结果:肝癌细胞中BDH1的阳性表达主要定位于胞浆,阳性表达率为87.4%(118/135),其中低表达占48.1%(65/135),高表达占51.9%(70/135)。BDH1的表达与肝癌细胞癌组织分化级别、肿瘤直径、肿瘤数目、微血管侵犯及TNM分期均显著相关(P0.05)。多因素分析显示BDH1表达、TNM分期、组织分化级别是影响肝癌术后患者预后的独立危险因素(P0.01),BDH1高表达者术后总生存率较低表达者显著升高。结论:BDH1可能作为预测肝癌预后的重要参考指标。     

注射用丹参多酚酸盐联合丙戊酸钠治疗脑卒中后癫痫患者的疗效分析

目的:研究注射用丹参多酚酸盐联合丙戊酸钠对脑卒中后癫痫的临床疗效和安全性。方法:选择2016年1月～2019年4月东南大学附属中大医院江北院区神经内科住院的80例脑卒中后癫痫患者,将其随机分为两组。对照组的40例患者仅给予丙戊酸钠治疗,观察组的40例患者给予丹参多酚酸盐联合丙戊酸钠治疗。比较两组治疗后的脑电图检查结果、癫痫症状控制情况。结果:治疗后,观察组总有效率为明显高于对照组(97.50%vs. 80%,P0.05);两组的累及导联数、痫样放电、发作持续时间、发作次数较治疗前以及血清神经元特异性烯醇化酶(Neuron specific enolase,NSE)水平均较治疗前明显降低(P0.05),且观察组以上指标均明显低于对照组(P0.05)。两组的嗜睡、皮疹、头痛、感觉异常、恶心呕吐的发生率比较差异无明显统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:注射用丹参多酚酸盐联合丙戊酸钠治疗脑卒中后癫痫的疗效明显优于单用丙戊酸钠治疗,其可更有效控制癫痫症状,且安全性较高。     

Virulence Determinants in the PB2 Gene of a Mouse-Adapted H9N2 Virus

The molecular bases of adaptation and pathogenicity of H9N2 influenza virus in mammals are largely unknown. Here, we show that a mouse-adapted PB2 gene with a phenylalanine-to-leucine mutation (F404L) mainly contributes to enhanced polymerase activity, replication, and pathogenicity of H9N2 in mice and also increases the virulence of the H5N1 and 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza viruses. Therefore, we defined a novel pathogenic determinant, providing further insights into the pathogenesis of influenza viruses in mammals.
