点叶绵枣叶片培养及器官分化的研究

点叶绵枣叶外植体培养于MS 6-BA 1 PPm IBA 0.5 ppm培养基中,一月后不定芽仅从近轴面的叶表面产生。组织学的观察表明,不定芽起源于表皮细胞。     

轴浆转运在神经再生中的作用

夹伤坐骨神经阻断标记蛋白在轴浆中的快、慢转运。3天后转运再现。第14天的转运距离与对照相似,说明再生神经的转运动能基本恢复。用快、慢转运测出的14天平均再生速度分别为1.77±0.14与1.96±0.07mm/d,比对照神经的正常生长速度快6.3—7倍,提示再生需要更多的转运物质。进一步发现再生神经中某些标记蛋白(慢转运波W1)的转运速度为10.25±0.66mm/d,约比对照快1倍,因此这些标记蛋白可能包含适应再生需要而加速转运的结构和功能物质。     

家兔中脑导水管周围灰质中注射八肽胆囊收缩素(CCK-8)拮抗吗啡镇痛和电针镇痛

家兔单侧PAG内注射CCK-83ng,能使静脉注射4mg/kg吗啡引起的镇痛作用降低73％或使电针镇痛效果降低67％。在1.5—6.0ng范围内呈量效关系。无硫的CCK-8无此作用。PAG内注射CCK受体拮抗剂proglumide 4μg可翻转CCK-8的抗吗啡镇痛作用。说明PAG部位注射外源性CCK-8可通过CCK受体对抗阿片镇痛。 PAG内注射CCK-8抗血清可显著增强静脉注射2mg/kg吗啡的镇痛效果。PAG内注射CCK抗血清本身也能引起痛阈轻度升高。说明PAG内有内源性的CCK-8发挥紧张性的抗阿片镇痛作用。     

南京地区繁缕和小繁缕群体的研究

繁缕(Stellaria media)和小繁缕(S.apetala)是两个形态相似的近缘种,有人把后者作为前者的亚种或变种来处理。本文通过对南京地区不同生境的三个自然群体和三个人工控制栽培群体的取样,以群体为单位,分别测算了叶、萼片、雄蕊、花瓣、果实和种子的8个数量性状的变异,绘制了多角形图;对花粉粒和种子进行了扫描;还通过花蕾套袋试验对种子活力作了检查。结果发现繁缕和小繁缕都是近亲繁殖植物,在形态上区别明显,对生态环境的要求基本相同,但小繁缕似更能耐受人为的践踏和刈割。     

陕西蓝田公王岭“蓝田伟猴”化石的再研究

蓝田公王岭动物群中,唯一的一种非人灵长类化石由胡长康、齐陶(1978)定名为Megamacaca lantianensis(蓝田伟猴)。但按其形态,我们觉得把它归于疣猴亚科比较适宜。特别是与该亚科中的金丝猴属(Rhinopithecus)更为相像,例如蓝田标本下颌支与下颌体垂直,冠状突略向后弯,齿尖起伏较大等都显示了金丝猴的一般性质。至此,本文将蓝田伟猴归于金丝猴属,保留原有种名:Rhinopithecus(Megamacaca)lantianensis(Hu and Qi)。时代为早更新世晚期。     

Acetylcholine receptor in a C2 muscle cell variant is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum

We have examined the properties and intracellular localization of acetylcholine receptors in the C2 muscle cell line and in a variant (T-) that accumulates AChR intracellularly. On immunoblots, the subunit structures of the AChR from wild-type and T- cells were similar except that the gamma and delta subunits of the variant AChR had altered mobilities. Digestion with endoglycosidases H and F demonstrated that this difference results from a failure of high-mannose N-linked oligosaccharides on AChR subunits to be processed to complex forms in the variant. N-linked glycosylation of other proteins in the variant was normal. When examined by immunocytochemistry, the distribution of internal AChR in wild-type cells was consistent with a location both in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the Golgi. Variant cells, however, showed no evidence of Golgi staining. Subcellular fractionation experiments also demonstrated AChR in the Golgi fractions of wild-type cells, but not in those derived from T- cells. We conclude that in T- myotubes most of the AChR fails to be transported out of the endoplasmic reticulum.     

Neotypification of the genusTrichosporon

The currently accepted type species of the genusTrichosporon Behrend isT. beigelii. This species has formerly been regarded as identical toT. cutaneum. However, these fungi are now known to represent separate species with different ecology. The first species described inTrichosporon wasT. ovoides, an agent of human white piedra. A neotype strain is designated for this species, while a lectotype strain is indicated forT. cutaneum. The nameT. beigelii is considered as doubtful and consequently cannot be maintained.     

Transcobalamin II--cobalamin binding sites are present on rabbit germ cells.

Specific binding sites for rabbit transcobalamin II have been found on isolated adult rabbit germ cells. Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of binding sites for [57Co]cyanocobalamin-transcobalamin II with an association constant (Ka) of 1.3 x 10(10) M-1 and 700 sites per cell. Binding was reversible, saturable and calcium dependent. Electron microscope radioautography following incubation with iodinated transcobalamin II at 4 degrees C led to a detectable labeling mainly restricted to the plasma membrane.
