自然越冬期软枣猕猴桃枝条组织结构及内源激素的变化特征

该试验以抗寒性不同的5年生软枣猕猴桃品种‘魁绿’、‘丰绿’和‘96-6’为试验材料,测定分析自然越冬期间枝条组织解剖结构、细胞膜透性和内源激素GA3、ABA、IAA含量水平的变化,以明确不同品种软枣猕猴桃越冬期间对低温的适应能力及其内在生理机制,为软枣猕猴桃抗寒品种的选育及鉴别提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)软枣猕猴桃枝条木质部比率大小依次为‘魁绿’>‘96-6’>‘丰绿’,皮层比率依次为‘丰绿’>96-6’>魁绿’,二者表现趋势相反,且‘魁绿’枝条的解剖结构与其他两品种差异显著。(2)在自然越冬期间,各品种软枣猕猴桃枝条相对电导率和MDA含量随温度变化均呈先升后降的趋势,在温度最低的1月份达到最高,其中‘魁绿’枝条的相对电导率和MDA含量变化幅度最小,而‘丰绿’受低温影响较大。(3)在11月份至2月份,随自然温度的变化,各品种软枣猕猴桃枝条的GA3和IAA含量均呈先降低后升高的变化趋势,ABA含量则呈先升后降的趋势,且都在1月份分别达到最低或最高值。研究发现,在自然越冬期间,低温对3个软枣猕猴桃品种的组织解剖结构、膜透性及内源激素含量均都造成较大的影响,品种‘魁绿’枝条的木质部比率最大、皮层比率最小,相对电导率和MDA含量变化幅度最小,内源激素含量GA3和ABA/GA3变化趋势较小,故其抗寒性比‘丰绿’和‘96-6’更强。     

百合科扭柄花属一个新的染色体基数

对中国云南西部和西北部分布的腋花扭柄花Streptopus simplex的4个居群进行了细胞学研究。生长在云南西北香格里拉县(原中甸县)碧塔海和小中甸冷杉林中的腋花扭柄花两个居群的体细胞染色体数目为2n=2x=18,而生长在高黎贡山的福贡县片马和贡山县的灌丛中的植物体细胞染色体数目则为2n=2x=14。2n=14为腋花扭柄花一个新的染色体数目,x=7为扭柄花属一个新的染色体基数。香格里拉碧塔海和小中甸两个居群的核型公式分别为2n=4m+8sm+4st和2n=8m+2sm+6st,染色体逐渐变小;贡山和福贡片马两个居群的核型公式分别为2n=14=4m+10sm和2n=14=7m+7sm,其中第一对中部着丝粒的染色体显著大于其余染色体。由于x=8是扭柄花属最常见的染色体基数,因此可认为x=8是腋花扭柄花的染色体原始基数,x=7的数目是衍生的;x=7居群染色体的一条大染色体可能是由x=8的染色体的两条st型染色体的着丝粒发生了罗伯逊易位而来。     

The effect of HMGB1 A box on lung injury in mice with acute pancreatitis

The objective of this study is to observe the effect of high-mobility group protein B1 A Box (HMGB1 A) box on lung injury in mice with acute pancreatitis and its effect on the level of high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) in lung, to explore the mechanism. A total of 60 male Institute of Cancer Research mice were randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and treatment group (n = 30). Severe acute pancreatitis mice model was induced by 20% L-Arg intraperitoneal injection. The recombination HMGB1 A box was used in treatment after modeling. All the mice were killed under anesthesia at 24 and 48 h after the modeling injection. The level of HMGB1 and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in lung were measured. The pathological changes of lung were observed. The level of HMGB1 in lung of A box treatment group decreased more significantly 24 h and 48 h after modeling compared with control group. The activity of MPO in lung of A box treatment group decreased more significantly 24 h after modeling compared with control group. The lung tissue pathologic score of A box treatment group decreased more significantly 48 h after modeling compared with control group. HMGB1 expression levels in the lungs were positively related to histological score of injured lung in acute pancreatitis. It indicates that HMGB1 A box is remarkably protective to lung injury induced by acute pancreatitis.

不同林龄杉木人工林细根氮稳定同位素组成及其对氮循环的指示

通过测定中国亚热带5个不同林龄(3、8、14、21、46a)杉木人工林不同序级细根氮稳定同位素(δ~(15)N)组成,研究它们对土壤净氮矿化、硝化速率的指示并将其与叶片δ~(15)N值对土壤氮循环速率的指示作用进行对比,从而探索研究植物同位素对土壤氮循环状况的指示作用。结果显示,不同林龄杉木人工林细根δ~(15)N值间具有极显著差异,3年生幼林与46年生老林显著高于其他林分。不同序级细根δ~(15)N值间的差异未达到显著水平,但具有随着序级增大δ~(15)N值逐渐降低的趋势。细根δ~(15)N值与土壤净氮矿化和净硝化速率间均具有极显著相关性,并有随着细根序级减小相关性逐渐增加的趋势,而叶片δ~(15)N值与土壤氮循环速率间则不具有显著相关性。研究结果表明,相较叶片来说,细根氮稳定同位素组成能更好地指示土壤氮循环速率,且序级越小的细根指示作用越强;细根δ~(15)N值反映出尽管中国亚热带地区氮沉降现象严重,氮素可能仍是处于速生期杉木人工林生长的限制因素。     

The Excitotoxin Quinolinic Acid Induces Tau Phosphorylation in Human Neurons

Some of the tryptophan catabolites produced through the kynurenine pathway (KP), and more particularly the excitotoxin quinolinic acid (QA), are likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer''s disease (AD). We have previously shown that the KP is over activated in AD brain and that QA accumulates in amyloid plaques and within dystrophic neurons. We hypothesized that QA in pathophysiological concentrations affects tau phosphorylation. Using immunohistochemistry, we found that QA is co-localized with hyperphosphorylated tau (HPT) within cortical neurons in AD brain. We then investigated in vitro the effects of QA at various pathophysiological concentrations on tau phosphorylation in primary cultures of human neurons. Using western blot, we found that QA treatment increased the phosphorylation of tau at serine 199/202, threonine 231 and serine 396/404 in a dose dependent manner. Increased accumulation of phosphorylated tau was also confirmed by immunocytochemistry. This increase in tau phosphorylation was paralleled by a substantial decrease in the total protein phosphatase activity. A substantial decrease in PP2A expression and modest decrease in PP1 expression were observed in neuronal cultures treated with QA. These data clearly demonstrate that QA can induce tau phosphorylation at residues present in the PHF in the AD brain. To induce tau phosphorylation, QA appears to act through NMDA receptor activation similar to other agonists, glutamate and NMDA. The QA effect was abrogated by the NMDA receptor antagonist memantine. Using PCR arrays, we found that QA significantly induces 10 genes in human neurons all known to be associated with AD pathology. Of these 10 genes, 6 belong to pathways involved in tau phosphorylation and 4 of them in neuroprotection. Altogether these results indicate a likely role of QA in the AD pathology through promotion of tau phosphorylation. Understanding the mechanism of the neurotoxic effects of QA is essential in developing novel therapeutic strategies for AD.     

Stereoselective binding and activity of oxotremorine analogs at muscarinic receptors in rat brain.

The activities of the enantiomers of BM-5 were examined to measure muscarinic cholinergic selectivity in the central nervous system. Autoradiographic studies assessed the ability of each enantiomer to inhibit the binding of [3H]-(R)-quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]-(R)-QNB) to muscarinic receptors in the rat brain. (+)-(R)-BM-5 inhibited [3H]-(R)-QNB binding to rat brain sections at concentrations below 1.0 microM, while 100-fold higher concentrations of (-)-(S)-BM-5 were required for comparable levels of inhibition. Analysis of the autoradiograms indicated that both stereoisomers had a similar distribution of high affinity binding sites. Each enantiomer displayed higher affinity for muscarinic receptors in the superior colliculi and lower affinity for receptors in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. (+)-(R)-BM-5 and oxotremorine inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity in the cerebral cortex with efficacies comparable to that for acetylcholine. (+)-(R)-BM-5 was 26-fold more potent than (-)-(S)-BM-5 in inhibiting adenylyl cyclase. Oxotremorine-M and carbamylcholine stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in the cerebral cortex. Oxotremorine had lower activity and (+)-(R)-BM-5 was essentially inactive at comparable concentrations. The difference in activity of the two enantiomers indicates a remarkable stereochemical selectivity for muscarinic receptors. The stereoselectivity index is comparable for both the autoradiographic assays (48) and measures of adenylyl cyclase activity (26) in the cerebral cortex.     

Spontaneous Atomic Ruthenium Doping in Mo2CTX MXene Defects Enhances Electrocatalytic Activity for the Nitrogen Reduction Reaction

The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) process usually suffers extremely low Faradaic efficiency and ammonia yields due to sluggish N?N dissociation. Herein, single‐atomic ruthenium modified Mo₂CT_X MXene nanosheets as an efficient electrocatalyst for nitrogen fixation at ambient conditions are reported. The catalyst achieves a Faradaic efficiency of 25.77% and ammonia yield rate of 40.57 µg h^?1 mg^?1 at ‐0.3 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.5 m K₂SO₄ solution. Operando X‐ray absorption spectroscopy studies and density functional theory calculations reveal that single‐atomic Ru anchored on MXene nanosheets act as important electron back‐donation centers for N₂ activation, which can not only promote nitrogen adsorption and activation behavior of the catalyst, but also lower the thermodynamic energy barrier of the first hydrogenation step. This work opens up a promising avenue to manipulate catalytic performance of electrocatalysts utilizing an atomic‐level engineering strategy.
