祁连山地区植被特征及其分布规律

分析和讨论了祁连山地区主要植被类型及其分布特征。祁连山地区随着青藏高原的强烈隆升表现为整体抬升,植被具有明显的生态地理边缘效应特征和高原地带性规律。该区植被虽然受到四周的较大影响,但各类高寒植被占有绝对优势,表现出与青藏高原植被整体明显的相似性和广泛的一致性。另一方面,本区植被也有其特殊性及与高原面存在一些差异。因此,建议把祁连山地区做为青藏高原植被区的次一级独立单元     

质体醌重组的D1／D2／Cytb559复合物的荧光衰减动力学和光破坏作用

光系统Ⅱ反应中心Ｄ１／Ｄ２／Ｃｙｔｂ５５９ 在分离纯化过程中失去了电子受体ＱＡ 和ＱＢ,人工合成的质体醌可以与Ｄ１／Ｄ２／Ｃｙｔｂ５５９ 复合物发生重组。癸基质体醌（ＤＰＱ）与Ｄ１／Ｄ２／Ｃｙｔｂ５９９ 复合物的重组导致该复合物的荧光强度下降及发射光谱蓝移,同时两个与光化学活性相关的长寿命（２４ ｎｓ和７３ ｎｓ）荧光衰减组分占整个荧光的百分数下降,这些结果表明ＤＰＱ作为Ｐｈｅｏ－ 的电子受体,限制了Ｐ６８０＋ ·Ｐｈｅｏ－ 的电荷重组。ＤＰＱ 的加入对Ｄ１／Ｄ２／Ｃｙｔｂ５５９复合物中Ｃｈｌａ 分子的光破坏敏感性影响不大,但β－胡萝卜素在加入ＤＰＱ 之后可以被光照破坏,这个过程可能与β－胡萝卜素的生理功能相关。     

A shortened dengue IgM capture ELISA using simultaneous incubation of antigen and peroxidase-labeled monoclonal antibody

A shortened IgM capture ELISA for the detection of dengue IgM antibodies using simultaneous incubation of antigen and peroxidase-labeled monoclonal antibody was described. The shortened two-step assay was compared with the four-step IgM capture ELISA on sera from dengue patients confirmed by the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. When paired acute and convalescent sera were tested, the shortened ELISA showed 100% agreement with HI results. It detected dengue IgM antibodies in the acute sera of 66% of patients with a primary dengue infection, 60% of patients with a secondary infection, and 98% of patients with a presumptive secondary infection. When the results of 151 dengue patients were combined, 75% of the acute sera were positive by the shortened IgM capture ELISA.     

沙打旺组织培养中脱分化细胞的超微结构及细胞核的动态变化

对沙打旺的下胚轴、子叶、幼叶组织培养中脱分化细胞进行了超微结构观察,并着重讨论了细胞核的动态变化。脱分化细胞的细胞质中线粒体墙加,嵴明显;多聚核糖体增多;高尔基体增加;质体中积累淀粉。核仁与核内异染色质之间有一个动态过程。此过程暂称“核仁物质喷射“现象。在致有以下：１．核体出现,半嵌在增大的核仁上,核内异染色质沿核膜凝聚;２．异染色质移向核仁,并与核仁接触,核体消失,部分异质进入核仁;３．核仁物质     

热带－亚热带森林中猕猴的食性

采用跟踪观察法对热带－亚热带森林中的猕猴种群的食性及其与植被类型的关系进行了调查,结果表明,猕猴主要选择季雨林或次生季雨林为其觅食场所,栖息地植物的地理分布和种类直接影响其食性,猕猴对植物各部位的采食频度随植物生长期而变化．     

大鼠脑神经元特异性烯醇化酶基因的cDNA克隆及序列分析

用ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ方法快速克隆了Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠脑神经元特异性烯醇化酶（ＮＳＥ）的ｃＤＮＡ,将此包括编码全长ＮＳＥ４３３个氨基醚的ＤＮＡ片段重组入ｐＵＣ质粒,并用ＰＣＲ方法测定了全部顺序,经重复实验,发现Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠与Ｆｏｒｓｓ－Ｐｅｔｔｅｒ报导的ＳＤ大鼠ＮＳＥ基因顺序,有两外单碱基的差别,其中一个涉及氨基酸的改变。同时还对ＲＮＡ的提取及长片段ＤＮＡ的ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ扩增进行了方法学的探讨。     

Membrane association of functional vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein in vivo.

The matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a major structural component of the virion which is generally believed to bridge between the membrane envelope and the ribonucleocapsid (RNP) core. To investigate the interaction of M protein with cellular membranes in the absence of other VSV proteins, we examined its distribution by subcellular fractionation after expression in HeLa cells. Approximately 90% of M protein, expressed without other viral proteins, was soluble, whereas the remaining 10% was tightly associated with membranes. A similar distribution in VSV-infected cells has been observed previously. Conditions known to release peripherally associated membrane proteins did not detach M protein from isolated membranes. Membrane-associated M protein was soluble in the detergent Triton X-114, whereas soluble M protein was not, suggesting a chemical or conformational difference between the two forms. Membranes containing associated M protein were able to bind RNP cores, whereas membranes lacking M protein were not. We suggest that this membrane-bound M fraction constitutes a functional subset of M protein molecules required for the attachment of RNP cores to membranes during normal virus budding.     

Conformation and activity ofPhaseolus coccineus var. rubronanus lectin

The conformation of native and denaturedPhaseolus coccineus var. rubronanus lectin was studied by circular dichroism (CD) and correlated to the hemagglutinating activity. The far-UV CD spectrum at 25°C showed a broad, negative band around 223 nm and a positive one at 196 nm. CD data analysis of the lectin indicated a -sheet-rich protein. At high temperatures, the spectrum was blue-shifted with increasing magnitude; these changes correlated well with the loss of the activity. The conformation of lectin betweenpH 2 and 10 remained essentially unchanged. AtpH 13 the CD spectrum resembled that of unordered form with a negative band near 200 nm and the activity was completely lost. The denatured lectin in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride would be renatured upon diluting the denaturant to 0.75 M; the changes in CD spectrum again correlated well with the loss of the activity. The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the lectin was drastic; it sharply increased thea-helix at the expense of the -sheet and reduced the activity; the changes reached a plateau above 20 mM surfactant.     

10CM短柱快速分离3-MH的实验研究

本研究在改进后短程序基础上,对氨基酸分离柱进行了改进。改进后的分离柱长为10cm。比原来20cm长柱分离3—MH的时间缩短了近1/2。实验所得的(回收率为97.59%,分离度0.89±0.02。变异系数1.17)这些指标较国外用其它方法所得的结果有良好的相关性。多次测定结果说明长柱与短柱比较无明显差异。证明了短柱对3—MH含量无影响。这一改进所建立的方法大大地缩短了样品的分析时间,节约了大量进口试剂,开展这方面的工作将有利益提高严重烧伤、创伤后蛋白质代谢和营养学等方面的研究水平。     

大鼠肝癌中α_2-巨球蛋白等几种分泌性蛋白基因表达的变化

用Northern blot方法对二乙基亚硝胺所诱发的大鼠肝癌中内源性蛋白酶抑制因子α_2-巨球蛋白(α_2-M)、非特异性免疫抑制剂α_1-酸性糖蛋白(α_1-AGP)及雄性激素正调控的α-2u球蛋白(α-2u)三种分泌性蛋白基因表达情况进行了分析。结果表明在大部分(14/16)肝癌样品中α_2-M RNA水平显著降低;而α_1-AGP RNA水平显著高于正常对照水平;α-2u RNA水平明显下降,但在某些雄性大鼠肝癌样品中该基因却有一定程度的表达。这些结果说明,一些肿瘤宿主血浆中α_2-M水平的显著下降及α_1-AGP水平的明显升高分别是由于基因表达活性的下降及升高所致。α-2u基因表达的异常提示,在癌变过程中机体的内分泌功能发生了某些变化。
