沙地不同发育阶段的人工生物结皮对重金属的富集作用

生物结皮广泛存在于沙地生态系统,具有重要的生态功能.通过对位于库布齐沙漠腹地达拉特旗火力发电厂附近沙地中不同年代人工生物结皮及物理结皮中重金属含量的测定,旨在分析不同类型生物结皮及物理结皮在不同的发育阶段对重金属富集的影响和重金属污染的指示程度.通过分析和比较,得出以下结论:不同年代生物结皮和物理结皮各种重金属含量均表现为随着发育时间的增加而增加的趋势,生物结皮重金属含量多数类型表现为:Zn＞Cr＞Ni＞Pb＞Cu＞As＞Co＞Cd＞Hg的顺序关系,少数类型表现为:Cr＞Zn＞Ni＞Pb＞Cu＞As＞Co＞Cd＞Hg的顺序关系.通过单因素方差分析(ANOVA),不同年代藓结皮中各种元素差异显著性(P＜0.05)明显低于藻结皮和物理结皮.相同年代生物结皮和物理结皮重金属含量都表现为同样地规律:藓结皮＞藻结皮＞物理结皮,表明相同背景条件下,藓结皮对各种重金属的富集能力明显比藻结皮和物理结皮的富集能力强.通过单因素方差分析(ANOVA),Hg和Ni元素含量在所有相同年代样地的生物结皮和物理结皮均无差异,Cr、Zn、Cu、Co元素含量均存在差异(P＜0.05),但差异有的表现在藓结皮和藻结皮之间,而有的表现为藻结皮和物理结皮之间,而Pb、As、Cd元素含量则表现为有的年代有差异,有的年代无差异.通过污染因子CF值分析,藓结皮对污染的指示作用要明显比藻结皮和物理结皮敏感.同时生物结皮对于重金属的富集具有一定的选择性,像Hg、Ni、Zn、Cu、Pb、Co等元素生物结皮相对富集较少,而像Cr、Cd、As等元素相对富集较多.     

MC 3T3-E1细胞在纳米羟基磷灰石/壳聚糖复合支架上的增殖和分化

用原位合成纳米羟基磷灰石的方法制备多孔纳米羟基磷灰石/壳聚糖复合支架;在支架上接种MC 3T3-E1细胞,瑞氏染色检测细胞形态,MTT法检测其增殖情况;在诱导培养基中培养30d后,碱性磷酸酶染色比较其分化水平;定量检测细胞的碱性磷酸酶活性;RT-PCR检测成骨相关基因的表达情况。实验结果表明：MC 3T3-E1细胞在纳米级羟基磷灰石/壳聚糖复合支架上粘附铺展良好,其增殖率显著高于培养于纯壳聚糖支架上的细胞。碱性磷酸酶染色表明复合支架上的细胞有较高水平的碱性磷酸酶表达。进一步定量检测细胞的碱性磷酸酶活性,结果说明在复合支架上细胞比纯壳聚糖支架上培养的细胞碱性磷酸酶活性提高了约8倍。此外,骨分化相关特征基因骨桥蛋白OPN在复合支架上培养的细胞中的表达水平也明显高于纯壳聚糖上培养的细胞。分化成熟标志基因骨钙素OC在复合支架上培养的细胞中有表达,但是纯壳聚糖支架上培养的细胞中却未检测到。支架中纳米羟基磷灰石的加入不仅提高了前成骨细胞在复合支架上的增殖,而且还促进了它的分化。纳米羟基磷灰石/壳聚糖复合支架表现出良好的生物相容性和生物活性,是极具前景的骨组织工程支架材料。

青藏高原典型冰川小流域土壤微生物生物量及胞外酶活性分布特征

土壤微生物释放的胞外酶是决定碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)生物地球化学循环的关键因素,为了阐明青藏高原典型小流域土壤微生物生物量和胞外酶活性沿海拔和土层的分布特征并揭示影响该分布格局的主要养分限制状况,于2021年8月采集了青藏高原廓琼岗日冰川小流域5个海拔梯度(4900 m; 5000 m; 5100 m; 5200 m; 5300 m)中4个土壤发生层(A层：腐殖质层、E层：淋溶层、B层：淀积层和C层：母质层)的土壤样品,定量分析了土壤基本理化性质、微生物生物量、胞外酶活性等指标。结果表明：1)微生物生物量碳氮磷的海拔差异变化规律不同,随着土层加深微生物生物量碳氮磷随海拔变化越小。同时,各海拔之间微生物生物量均有随土层加深而显著降低的趋势(P<0.05);2)四种酶活性的海拔间变化规律各异,但整体呈现随海拔升高而升高的趋势且在表层(A和E层)增长趋势更明显,而且随土层加深显著降低(P<0.05);3)该区域土壤微生物受到碳和磷共同限制,土层越深限制越高,而且海拔越高C限制越强,但P限制降低;4)青藏高原典型冰川小流域土壤微生物生物量和胞外酶活性在海拔和土层之间存在较明显的...

Early biochemical consequences of denervation in fast and slow skeletal muscles and their relationship to neural control over muscle differentiation

1. One week after denervation several biochemical characteristics of the fast extensor digitorum longus and slow soleus muscles from adult rats were investigated and compared with the characteristics of the corresponding unoperated contralateral muscles. 2. After these short periods of denervation-induced atrophy, the isolated myosins showed unchanged ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) activities, but there was the expected difference between fast and slow muscle. 3. The specific activities of several soluble enzymes and their characteristic patterns were found to be only slightly modified in both the extensor and soleus muscles after denervation, as were most of the activities measured in the isolated mitochondria. 4. The most significant modifications were in the isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum, and appeared to be specific to either slow or fast muscle. 5. Denervation of slow muscle led to a marked increase of Ca(2+)-transport rates, and of the specific activity of the Mg(2+)-activated K(+)-modulated Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase, together with changes in the polyacrylamide-electrophoretic profiles of the microsomal membrane protein. Transformation of these several properties of slow muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum to those of fast muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was further substantiated by electron-microscopic analysis after negative staining. Control experiments with tenotomized soleus muscle gave negative results. 6. The isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum from fast muscle showed a slight diminution of ATPase-linked Ca(2+)-transport activity and a selective increase of rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity, in addition to a greater emphasis on slow-type electrophoretic components of the structural membrane protein. 7. The significance of these results in relation to specific differentiating influences from motor nerves is discussed.     

Effects of different states of sheep fetal fibroblasts as donor cells on the early development in vitro of reconstructed sheep embryos

To investigate the effects of different states of donor cells on the development of reconstructed sheep embryos, we designed five treatments of donor cells, including cell passage, cell size, serum starvation,colchicine treatment and gene transfection. Results are as follows: ( Ⅰ ) Compared with 16-18 passage cells, the morula/blastocyst rate of 5-7 passage cells as donor nuclei was significantly higher (17.3%vs. 4.9%, P＜0.05), suggesting the advantage of short-time cultured cells in supporting the development of reconstructed embryos. (Ⅱ) The morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos derived from medium cells (15-25 μm) as donor nuclei was higher than that from large cells (25-33 μm) and small cells (8-15 μm)( 20.0% vs. 8.0%, 9.7%), indicating that reconstructed embryos from medium cells had a greater potentiality to develop into morula/blastocysts than those from small or large ones. (Ⅲ) The morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos from donor cells of SS (serum starvation) was lower than that from donor cells of NSS (non-serum starvation), but no significant difference was detected between SS and NSS( 11.8% vs. 18.6%, P＞0.05). (Ⅳ) Fetal fibroblasts treated with 0.05 μmol/L colchicine exhibited a higher morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos than those treated with 0.10 μmol/L colchicine and untreated ones (27.5% vs. 12.1%, 17.1%), however, no significant difference among the three treatments was detected (P＞0.05). (Ⅴ) The morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos from fetal fibroblasts transfected with GFP gene only was 3.1%, significantly lower than that from non-transgenic cells (3.1% vs. 20.4%, P＜0.05). In conclusion, our results demonstrated that fetal fibroblasts of fewer passages, medium size could ensure a higher morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos. Serum starvation of donor cells might be unnecessary to the development of reconstructed embryos. Donor cells treated with 0.05 μmol/L colchicine could facilitate the development of reconstructed embryos. Additionally, as cells transfected with GFP gene were used as donor nuclei, adverse effect on the development of reconstructed embryos was observed. Therefore, the developmental efficiency of reconstructed embryos could be improved if proper treatments to donor cells were used.

Semi-automatic algorithm for construction of the left ventricular area variation curve over a complete cardiac cycle

Background  

Two-dimensional echocardiography (2D-echo) allows the evaluation of cardiac structures and their movements. A wide range of clinical diagnoses are based on the performance of the left ventricle. The evaluation of myocardial function is typically performed by manual segmentation of the ventricular cavity in a series of dynamic images. This process is laborious and operator dependent. The automatic segmentation of the left ventricle in 4-chamber long-axis images during diastole is troublesome, because of the opening of the mitral valve.
