超声诊断原发性肝癌的研究

本文33例原发性肝癌的超声诊断研究中24例有1.5至30年的肝病史。最近一次确诊为肝硬化者或无肿瘤者到首次发现肿瘤的时间为3至98天,平均27.3天,其中一例仅隔3天再查就发现肝左叶有多发性低回声肿瘤,最大肿瘤为64×65mm;首次发现肿瘤到第二次复查的时间为15至158天,平均49.4天,肿瘤平均增大约1.5倍,从单个发展至多个。本文就上述原发性肝癌发展的超声诊断跟踪分析探讨。

septin基因家族的研究进展

septin是一个广泛存在于除植物以外所有真核生物中的基因家族。最初认为septin家族是与酵母细胞胞质分裂相关的基因家族。然而随着研究的深入, 人们发现这类基因编码的蛋白质在许多生物体内出现了较大的功能分化, 尤其在哺乳动物细胞中, 他们不仅成员众多, 且参与了细胞分裂、细胞极化、囊泡运输及胞膜重构等多个过程。更引起研究人员重视的是: 最近有大量数据表明, 这一家族的一些成员与肿瘤发生、神经功能障碍和病原微生物感染的过程直接相关。因此, 近年来septin家族的功能研究正逐步成为细胞生物学及病理学研究的新热点。文章将试图从septin基因家族的种类、结构特点、生物学功能及其与人类疾病的关系等方面的研究进展进行综述。     

Combination of bone tissue engineering and BMP-2 gene transfection promotes bone healing in osteoporotic rats

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a feasible approach to promote bone healing in osteoporotic rats using autogenous bone tissue-engineering and gene transfection of human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP-2). METHODS: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) from the left tibia of osteoporotic rats were transfected with the hBMP-2 gene in vitro which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and Western blotting. Autogenous transfected or untransfected BMSCs were seeded on macroporous coral hydroxyapatite (CHA) scaffolds. Each cell-scaffold construct was implanted into a defect site which was created in the ramus of the mandible of osteoporotic rats. Four or eight weeks after implantation in situ hybridization was performed in BMSCs transfected with hBMP-2, X-ray examinations, histological and histomorphological analyses were used to evaluate the effect of tissue-engineered bone on osseous defect repair. RESULTS: Newly formed bone was observed at the margin of the defect 4 weeks after implantation with BMSCs transfected with BMP-2. Mature bone was observed 8 weeks after treatment. In the control group there was considerably less new bone and some adipose tissue was observed at the defect margins 8 weeks after implantation. CONCLUSIONS: Autogenous cells transfected with hBMP-2 promote bone formation in osteoporotic rats. BMSC-mediated BMP-2 gene therapy used in conjunction with bone tissue engineering may be used to successfully treat bone defects in osteoporotic rats. This method provides a powerful tool for bone regeneration and other tissue engineering.     

海藻酸转化生物乙醇研究进展

作为第三代生物燃料,大型褐藻类生物质转化燃料乙醇的研究受到广泛的关注。但是,现有的乙醇工业菌株并不能利用褐藻中的主要成分海藻酸,这个问题是海藻生物乙醇实现工业化生产的主要技术难关。近几年随着对海藻酸裂解酶和海藻酸降解菌代谢途径的深入研究,科研人员构建了不同的海藻酸发酵菌株,为高效转化大型海藻生产生物乙醇提供了可行的技术基础。这篇文章对海藻酸资源概况和海藻酸转化生物乙醇存在的科学问题及其研究进展进行了综述。     

云南地方猪种血液蛋白多态性研究

采用蛋白电泳技术研究了云南地方猪种血液蛋白多态性。共分析了3个云南地方猪种32-36个遗传位点,其中AKP、CAT、DIA、ES、G6PD、PA、6PGD、PHI、TF等9个 位点检测到多态性,多态位点百分比为0.1875-0.2121,平均杂合度为0.0712-0.1027。结果表明,云南地方猪种血液蛋白多态程度较高,反映在蛋白水平上的遗传多样性较为丰富。 Abstract:In this paper,protein electrophoresis was used to analyze the blood protein polymorphism in Yunnan local pig breeds and 32~36 genetic loci in the Yunnan local pig breeds were surveyed,Nine of them,such as AKP、CAT、DIA、ES、G6PD、PA、6PGD、PHI and TF,were found to be polymorphic,the mean heterozygosit(H)was 0.0712~0.1027.The results indicated that the blood protein polymorphism in the Yunnan local pig breeds is high,the Yunnan local pig breeds are wealthy in genetic diversity in point of their protein level.     

宁夏贺兰山斑子麻黄种群的性比及雌雄空间格局

性比、空间分布格局及关联性对雌雄异株种群的繁殖、进化与发展具有重要影响。斑子麻黄是雌雄异株且狭域分布的国家二级保护植物,在维持贺兰山荒漠生态系统稳定性和多样性发挥着重要作用,但有关斑子麻黄种群性比的研究未见报道。研究分析了宁夏贺兰山4个不同海拔(S₁、S₂、S₃、S₄)斑子麻黄天然种群性比、空间分布格局及关联性。结果表明：(1)斑子麻黄性比与生长环境条件密切相关。4个种群都偏雄,生长环境严酷的S₃、S₄种群性别显著偏雄(P<0.05);不同龄级分析显示由于环境的异质性,斑子麻黄种群偏雄发生在不同阶段,生境条件好的S₁、S₂种群在幼龄和成年阶段显著偏雌或有偏雌趋势,偏雄发生在老年阶段;而生长环境严酷的S₃、S₄种群偏雄发生在幼龄阶段,成年和老年阶段有偏雄的趋势。(2)雌雄种群的空间关联性会决定种群的发展。S₁、S₃、S

Control of chicken coccidiosis

Coccidiosis could potentially cause enormous economic loss to the poultry industry, especially in the production of broiler chickens (see Box 1). Losses are currently minimized by chemotherapeutic treatment but the effectiveness of many drugs seems to be declining. In this article, Peter Long and Tom Jeffers discuss the future for coccidial chemotherapy, and the potential for immunological control methods.
