延胡索分类的化学证据

东阳产延胡索与大连产齿瓣延胡索经成分分离和TLC、HPLC对比,发现延胡索以啊扑啡类生物碱如glaucine为主,而齿瓣延胡索则含corynoline类生物碱。根据生物碱的类型及含量比较,二者有明显差异,结合延胡索的植物形态和植化分类特征判断,将延胡索作为与齿瓣延胡索近缘的独立种处理较为合理,即为Corydalis yanhusuo W. T. Wang ex Z.Y. Su et C. Y. Wu     

大壁虎的染色体及减数分裂联会复合体的研究

大壁虎(Gekko gecko)的染色体数目为2n=38,核型由2对中着丝粒(Nos.1.4.)、3对亚中着丝粒(Nos.2.3.5)及14对端着丝粒和亚端着丝粒(Nos.6—19)染色体组成。一对核仁组织者(NOR_s),位于第7对端着丝粒染色体的末端。同时,本文还对大壁虎的减数分裂以及联会复合体(S.C)的结构和组型,进行了详细的观察和分析。     

Assay of L-3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase with substrates of different chain lengths

A method for assaying L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35) which permits rate measurements with L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA substrates of various chain lengths at physiological pH is described. The method is based on a coupled assay system in which 3-ketoacyl-CoA compounds formed by the dehydrogenase are cleaved by 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.16) in the presence of CoASH. The advantages of this assay method are its irreversibility and elimination of product inhibition. The assay procedure was used to determine the kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) of pig heart L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase with several substrates of various chain lengths. The data obtained show the enzyme to be most active with medium-chain substrates whereas Km values for medium-chain and long-chain substrates are almost equal but much lower than those previously reported.     

Effects of acetylene on hydrogenases from the sulfate reducing and methanogenic bacteria

The effect of acetylene on the activity of the three types of hydrogenase from the anaerobic sulfate reducing bacteria has been investigated. The (Fe) hydrogenase is resistant to inhibition by acetylene while the nickel-containing hydrogenases are inhibited by acetylene with the (NiFe) hydrogenase being 10-50 fold more sensitive than the (NiFeSe) hydrogenase. In addition the Ni(III) EPR signal (g approximately 2.3) of the "as isolated" (NiFe) hydrogenase was significantly decreased in intensity upon exposure to acetylene.     

Endurance at intermediate swimming speeds of Atlantic mackerel, Scomber scombrus L., herring, Clupea harengus L., and saithe, Pollachius virens L.

Endurance and swimming speed were measured in mackerel, herring and saithe when they were induced by the optomotor response to swim at prolonged speeds along a 28-m circular track through still water in a 10-m diameter gantry tank. The maximum sustained swimming speed ( U _ms was measured as body lengths per second ( b.l.s ⁻¹) for each species and for saithe of different size groups. Herring with U _ms of 4.06 b.l.s ⁻¹ (25.3 cm, 13.5°C) were the fastest, mackerel U _ms was 3.5 b.l.s ¹ (33 cm, 11.7°C) and saithe (14.4°C) showed a size effect where U _ms at 25 cm was 3.5 b.l.s ¹ and at 50 cm 2.2 b.l.s ¹. When swimming at speeds higher that U _ms, all three species showed reduced endurance as speed increased. How the curved track reduces the swimming speed is discussed.     

蛋白和酯酶电泳在根霉鉴定上的应用

对根霉(Rhizopus)属的十个种或变种共二十四株菌的菌体可溶性蛋白和酯酶同工酶进行了电泳的研究得到对这个属分类上更多的依据.在严格控制培养,提取和电泳条件的情况下,同一株菌不同批次所得菌体蛋白电泳图谱有较好的重复性.在相同的条件下,每个种的根霉有各自特征性蛋白图谱,种内不同菌株的蛋白图谱和酯酶酶谱基本相同.特别是形态特征明显、分类地位明确的种,种内各株的图谱也较一致,如R. stolonifer;与R.circinans.在确定新变种R. delemar var. latoapicalis时,电泳图谱与R.delemar var.delema:有明显不同,起到了佐证作用.因此认为,蛋白图谱与酯酶酶谱相辅相成,在根霉种的分类中是一有效的辅助手段.     

区别人小细胞肺癌和非小细胞肺癌的LSC系列单克隆抗体(简报)

人小细胞肺癌的发病率虽不及非小细胞肺癌,但其五年生存率却相对低得多,这两种细胞类型不仅在病理类型上表现不同,在许多其它性质上也表现不同。小细胞肺癌是一种异质性疾病,它由几种形态不同的瘤细胞组成,包括非小细胞肺癌在内;它易早期转移,能在肝、脑和骨髓中繁殖,具有L-Dopa胱羧酶,神经原特异的烯醇化酶(enolase),能合成神经递质和多肽激素蛙皮肽等特性。目前已有关于小细胞肺癌的单克隆抗体的报道,我们采用美国N I H建立的小细胞肺癌细胞株SH-77作免疫原,目前尚未见有关抗该细胞株的单克隆抗体的报道,现将我们制备的三个单抗体及其初步特异性鉴定结果简报如下     

中国人线粒体DNA的八种限制酶图及其电镜结构

尽管Anderson等人(1981)已测定了人mtDNA的全部序列,但还不能全面地反映整个人类mtDNA核苷酸序列的情况。因此,在具有代表特征的中国人mtDNA序列被测定之前,为了开展对中国人mtDNA的遗传学研究,笔者构建了中国人mtDNA的8种限制酶图。并通过电镜技术对mtDNA进行了研究,发现了一种周长为2μm的小环状DNA,推测它可能在核DNA和mtDNA之间的信息传递或衰老发生中起到某些作用。     

大叶杨组组间杂交花粉－柱头相互作用的超微结构研究

以大叶杨为母本,分别与小叶杨、欧洲黑杨、响叶杨进行人工杂交,并以大叶杨×大叶杨为对照,观察其花粉与柱头相互作用的超微结构变化。结果表明,大叶杨柱头细胞在授粉前表现生理活跃,含丰富的细胞器,壁外被含分支通道的角质层。接受大叶杨及欧洲黑杨花粉的柱头细胞内部仍有丰富的细胞器,膜结构保存完好。接受小叶杨及响叶杨花粉的柱头细胞衰亡较快,授粉部位沉积厚的胼胝质,细胞内部液泡化,膜结构逐渐消失,细胞质电子密度加大。欧洲黑杨花粉行为与大叶杨花粉行为相似,花粉能迅速萌发,并以短管形式穿入柱头,异常行为罕见。小叶杨及响叶杨花粉萌发后只有半数花粉管能以短管形式进入柱头,其中部分管内沉积胼胝质,另半数花粉管在柱头上表现各种异常行为——扭曲、爬行、肿胀、提前破裂释放内容物及先端沉积胼胝质。由各种花粉在大叶杨柱头上的行为和大叶杨柱头对各种授粉的反应判断,与大叶杨杂交亲和力在柱头阶段表现由强至弱依次是欧洲黑杨、小叶杨、响叶杨。
