DIFFERENCES IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INSECTICIDES BETWEEN ADULTS AND LARVAE OF HOUSEFLY, MUSCA DOMESTICA (L.)

Abstract  In this paper, we reported the differences in susceptibility to insecticides between adults and larvae of housefly, Musca domestica (L.), and the mechanisms for the differences. The larvae of housefly were much more tolerant to insecticides than the adults, and the tolerance ratio to cyhalothrin was as high as 205.5 for susceptible strain. Mechanism studies showed that higher GST activity was associated with higher insecticide tolerance in the larvae. The co-toxicity coefficient of the mixture of cyhalothrin and methylene dithiocyanate(4:1) on pyrehid-resistant houseflies was 188.     

Kinetics of pyrophosphate induced iron release from diferric ovotransferrin

The kinetics of pyrophosphate-induced iron release from diferric ovotransferrin were studied spectrophotometrically at 37 degrees C in 0.1 M HEPES, pH 7.0. At high pyrophosphate concentrations, the kinetics are biphasic, indicating that the rates of iron release from the two, presumably noninteracting iron-binding sites of ovotransferrin are different. The pseudo-first-order rate constants for iron release from both the fast and slow sites exhibit a hyperbolic dependence on pyrophosphate concentrations. The data suggest that pyrophosphate forms complexes with the two iron-binding sites of ovotransferrin prior to iron removal. The stability constants of the complex formed with the fast site (Keqf) and slow site (Keqs) are 8.3 M-1 and 40.4 M-1, respectively. The first-order rate constants for the dissociation of ferric-pyrophosphate from the fast site (k2f) and the slow site (k2s) are 0.062 and 0.0044 min-1, respectively. Results from urea gel electrophoresis studies suggest that iron is released at a much faster rate from the N-terminal binding site of ovotransferrin. At high pyrophosphate concentration, only C-monoferric-ovotransferrin is detected during the course of iron release. At low pyrophosphate concentration, however, a detectable amount of N-monoferric-ovotransferrin is accumulated. This result is consistent with the kinetic finding that the site with a higher k2 (0.062 min-1) has a lower affinity toward pyrophosphate (Keq = 8.3 M-1) whereas the site with a lower k2 (0.0044 min-1) has a higher affinity for pyrophosphate (Keq = 40.4 M-1).     

脑室注射P物质对大鼠血压、心率及交感传出活动的影响

给乌拉坦麻醉六鼠侧脑室注射P物质(SP)10μg,引起动脉血压、心率和内脏交感神经放电增加。同样剂量的SP静脉注射后却引起血压降低。阿托品预处理不影响SP的开心率作用。预先脑室注射0.25,4,64μg阿片受体拮抗剂纳洛酮,对SP的升压效应有剂量依赖式对抗作用。以上说明脑室注射SP 引起的血压升高是交感神经活动增强,导致心率加快及外周血管紧张性增加的结果,并提示SP的中枢升压效应可能与脑内释放内源性阿片样物质有关。     

[D丙~6,脯~9乙基胺]-促黄体素释放激素LH-RHA对妊娠兔子宫内膜多聚核糖体mRNA的作用

本实验制备了非孕兔、孕兔和绐孕兔注射高剂量[D丙‘,脯’乙基胺]-促黄体素释放激素(LH-RH A)不同天数的子宫内膜多聚核糖体,并从多聚核糖体提取mRNA,在网织红细胞无细胞翻译系统中测定了活性。结果指出用LH-RH A处理后多聚核糖体mRNA量减少,其翻译活性降低,在体内实验中核糖体mRNA诱导兔子宫分秘蛋白的合成也受到抑制,特别是分子量大约为22,000和69,000左右的分泌蛋白合成受到明显抑制。     

大白鼠交感节前神经再生的研究Ⅰ.生化、组化与功能观察

用液氮骤冻造成大白鼠交感节前神经变性后,通过神经末梢乙酰胆碱含量、胆碱酯酶活性测定以及电刺激交感干时外周反应等研究其再生规律。结果表明冻伤后3周内再生过程进展迅速,神经结构与功能均有相当程度的恢复;3周后再生过程转慢,直至一年时各指标仍远未达到正常。这证明交感节前神经的再生过程不同于中枢及其它外周神经而独具特征。     

大麻叶蜂的研究

大麻叶蜂是安徽麻区大麻上的主要害虫之一.单食性,以幼虫咀食大麻叶片形成孔洞和缺刻,严重时仅残留叶柄和主叶脉,致使麻皮产量锐减.据室内饲养及结合田间定点观察,大麻叶蜂在安徽六安每年发生二代,以老熟幼虫于土内结茧越冬.两性或孤雌生殖,幼虫六龄、三龄前食量小,是药剂防治的有利时机,幼虫有趋嫩性和假死性. 室内测定和田间试验表明,喷洒杀螟松、乐果、西维因和敌敌畏1,000倍液,对三龄前幼虫有很好的效果,特别是杀螟松效果更佳,杀虫快速,药效期长,即使对高龄幼虫仍有良好的效果.
