Cold shock and heat shock: a comparison of the protection generated by brief pretreatment at less severe temperatures

Abstract Brief exposure to low (0^oC) or high (40^oC) temperature elicits a protective response that prevents injury when the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart, is subjected to more severe cold (-10^oC) or heat (45^oC). Both the low and high temperature responses were found in all developmental stages of the fly, but were most pronounced in the pupal and pharate adult stages. The protective responses generated by brief exposure to 0 or 40^oC appear similar in that both result in a rapid acquisition of cold or heat tolerance and a loss of protection after the flies are returned to 25^oC. The protection generated by chilling is obvious within 10 min of exposure to 0^oC while a 30 min exposure to 40^oC is required to induce the high temperature protection. High temperature protects against cold shock injury within a narrow range (around 36^oC) but we have no evidence that low temperature can protect against heat injury. We previously demonstrated that the rapid increase in cold tolerance correlates with concomitant increases in glycerol concentration, but in this study we found no significant elevation in glycerol in heat-shocked flies. Thus the physiological and biochemical bases for the rapid responses to cold and heat appear to be different.     

Stereospecificity for nicotinamide nucleotides in enzymatic and chemical hydride transfer reactions

The pyridine nucleotide (NAD and NADP)-linked enzymes are a large class of enzymes constituting approximately 17% of all classified enzymes. When these enzymes catalyze their reactions, the hydride transfer between the substrate and the reaction site (i.e., C-4 of the nicotinamide/dihydronicotinamide ring) of the coenzyme takes place in a stereospecific manner. Thus, in the reaction of oxidation of the reduced coenzyme, one group of enzymes catalyzes the extraction of only the hydrogen having the R configuration at the No. 4 carbon, while the other group catalyzes the removal of only that with the S configuration. Because this aspect of enzyme stereospecificity provides essential information for a given enzyme's reaction mechanism, active site structure, and evolutionary relationship with other enzymes, intensive effort has been made to establish the stereospecificities of as many enzymes as possible. This review presents the compilation of the stereospecificities of these enzymes. Some empirical rules, which are useful but not definitive, in predicting a given enzyme's stereospecificity are also described. In addition, the stereospecificity in enzymatic reactions is compared to the stereo-preference in chemical oxidoreduction of the coenzyme. In order to elucidate the mechanism for the enzyme stereospecificity, the conformations of the coenzyme in free-state and enzyme-bound state are extensively discussed here.     

大劣按蚊吸血活动与交配受精的关系

大劣按蚊Anophelos dirus是我国及东南亚地区的重要传疟媒介。研究表明成蚊羽化后,在未喂血的情况下,可有较高的交配受精率。在同一蚊笼,吸血机会完全相同的条件下,大蚊笼受精雌蚊吸血率为59.88%,未受精雌蚊的吸血率为35.38%;小蚊笼受精雌蚊的吸血率为74.13%,未受精雌蚊吸血率仅为43.56%。正常交配雌蚊的吸血率为49.71%,未进行交配的处女雌蚊吸血率为28.42%。同为正常交配蚊群,喂血组雌蚊受精率55.85%,不喂血组的受精率为44.51%。初步认为大劣按蚊的吸血活动与交配受精有一定的关系。

Carbohydrate Metabolism in the Narcissus Leaf

Carbohydrate contents of both the photosynthetic and the storageorgans of Narcissus tazetta L. were determined at four stagesin their development under both ‘natural’ growingconditions and under conditions of varying light intensities. Starch was abundantly stored in all the storage organs, particularlyin the bases of the photosynthetic organs under high light intensityand also at the second dormant stage. However, its level remainedrelatively stable in the green part of the foliage leaf andthe scape at different stages and appeared not to be affectedby light except at very high intensity. It was found in boththe bundle sheaths and guard cells. Sucrose, which is the first sugar of photosynthesis, was continuouslyexported from the green parts of the blade and the scape totheir bases where it was also stored. In the dark the sucroselevel became low in the green blade and the green scape butit rose with increase of light intensity. The hexose level was very low at the dormant stage in all organsexamined but rose as they matured and exceeded that of sucrosein the green organs except in high light intensity. Hexose isformed presumably as a result of sucrose hydrolysis and is constantlylost, presumably through respiration. At senescence sugar disappeared almost completely from all theorgans, while nearly 10 per cent of residual dry weight of starchremained in the dead tissues. The interrelationship betweenthe carbohydrates and their movement in the leaf is discussed.     

兔小脑延髓池注射纳洛酮对刺激肾神经传入纤维血压效应的影响

本文目的在于用小脑延髓池注射(Ict)受体阻断剂的方法,观察低位脑干阿片样受体与α肾上腺素受体对刺激肾神经传入纤维和主动脉神经降压效应的影响。实验在戊巴比妥钠麻醉兔中进行。Ict人工脑脊液(CSF)对刺激肾神经传入纤维和主动脉神经的降压反应均无明显影响。Ict 550nmol纳洛酮可显著抑制刺激肾神经传入纤维的降压效应,但能明显增强刺激主动脉神经的降压效应。Ict酚妥拉明可显著抑制刺激肾神经传入纤维和主动脉神经的降压效应。Ict纳洛酮可逆转酚妥拉明对刺激主动脉神经的降压效应的抑制,但不影响酚妥拉明对刺激肾神经传入纤维的降压效应的抑制。Ict纳洛酮和酚妥拉明都不影响刺激肾神经传入纤维降压反应与主动脉压力感受性反射的抑制性相互作用。Ict酚妥拉明使MAP显著下降;纳洛酮不影响MAP,但可逆转酚妥拉明降低MAP的作用。上述结果提示,激动低位脑干的阿片样受体可增强刺激肾神经传入纤维的降压作用,减弱刺激主动脉神经的降压作用,激动α肾上腺素受体可增强刺激肾神经传入纤维和主动脉神经的降压反应
