Visfatin is a cytokine that is expressed in many tissues, including the heart, and has been proposed to play a role in plaque destabilization leading to acute myocardial injury. The present study evaluates plasma levels of visfatin in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and examines the temporal changes in visfatin levels from the acute period to the subacute period to determine a correlation with the degree of myocardial ischemia. We evaluated 54 patients with STEMI. Circulating levels of visfatin and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured by ELISA. In addition, local expression of visfatin and BNP were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of left ventricular myocytes in a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI). Plasma levels of visfatin were significantly increased in patients with STEMI on admission, relative to controls (effort angina patients and individuals without coronary artery disease). The visfatin levels reached a peak 24 h after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and then decreased toward the control range during the first week after PCI. The basal plasma visfatin levels were found to correlate with peak troponin-I, peak creatine kinase-MB, total white blood cell count, and BNP levels. Trend analyses confirmed that visfatin levels correlated with the number of diseased coronary arteries. Further, in MI mice, mRNA levels of visfatin and BNP were found to be higher than in sham-treated mice. IHC analysis showed that visfatin and BNP immunoreactivity was diffusely observable in left ventricular myocytes of the MI mice. This study indicates that plasma visfatin levels are significantly higher in STEMI patients and that these higher visfatin levels correlate with elevated levels of cardiac enzymes, suggesting that increased plasma visfatin may be closely related to the degree of myocardial damage. 相似文献

Summary An in vitro culture procedure was established for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from callus cultures of the important
palm ‘betel nut’ (Areca catechu L.). Segments of zygotic embryos of Areca catechu L. were cultured on Murashige and Skoog basal medium supplemented with dicamba (9.05, 18.1, 27.15, and 36.2 μM). After 7–8 wk in darkness, wounded regions of explants formed callus with yellow, soft, glutinous structures. Proliferation
and maintenance of callus was on the same dicamba-containing medium. With regular subculture every 8 wk, the callus showed
pale yellow, compact and nodular structures. During subculture, somatic embryos were formed spontaneously from nodular callus
tissues within 2–4 mo. The embryos developed into plantlets after 10 wk of culture on basal medium free of plant growth regulators.
After subculturing every month for 3 mo., the plantlets were transferred to containers for acclimatization in the greenhouse.
The survival rate was 24%. 相似文献

Summary An in vitro culture procedure was established for repetitive embryogenesis and plant regeneration from seed-derived protocorms of Phalaenopsis amabilis var. formosa Shimadzu (Orchidaceae). Seed-derived protocorms were cultured on modified half-strength Murashige and Skoog (1962) basal medium (1/2MS) devoid
of plant growth regulators. After 45 d, 28.1% of protocorms formed embryos from their posterior regions. 1-Phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)-urea
(TDZ; 0.45, 4.54, and 13.62 μM) promoted direct embryo formation. The best response was at 13.62 μM TDZ, and 100% of the protocorms formed a mean number of 13.5 embryos after 45d of culture. By contrast, naphthaleneacetic
acid (NAA) at 0.54 and 5.37 μM inhibited direct embryo formation. On basal medium devoid of plant growth regulators, 18.8% of primary proliferating embryos
could form more embryos. TDZ (0.45, 4.54, and 13.62 μM) also promoted this process. Proliferating embryos/protocorms were transferred to basal medium devoid of plant growth regulators
for plantlet formation. Plantlets were successfully obtained from the embryos after 4–6 wk. Following subculture every 6 wk
for three passages, the plantlets were transferred to sphagnum moss in a container for acclimatization in the greenhouse.
The survival rate was 100%. 相似文献

A Taiwan isolate of Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV-CS) was isolated from infected Cymbidium sinesis Willd. The cDNA of the capsid protein (CP) gene was synthesized and sequenced. Alignment of this CP gene with other reported CPs revealed homologies of 92–98% at the nucleotide level and 98–99% at the amino acid level. To generate virus-resistant varieties, the CymMV-CS CP gene was transformed into Dendrobium protocorms through particle bombardment. Transformants were selected on medium supplemented with 20 mg/L hygromycin and the presence of the transgene was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction, Southern, Northern and Western blot analyses. Transgenic Dendrobium harboring the CymMV CP gene expressed a very low level of virus accumulation four months post-inoculation with CymMV, as detected by ELISA. The transgenic plants exhibited much milder symptoms than the non-transgenic plants upon challenge with CymMV virionsSequence data reported from this article have been deposited at the GenBank Data Libraries under Accession No. AY429021. 相似文献

Summary Four auxins (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid [2,4-D], indole-3-acetic acid [IAA], indole-3-butyric acid [IBA], and naphthaleneacetic
acid [NAA]), and five cytokinins (N
6-[2-isopentenyl]-adenine [2iP], N
6-benzyladenine [BA], 6-furfurylaminopurine [kinetin], 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)-urea [TDZ], and 6-[4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enylamino]purine
[zeatin]) were examined for their effects on direct embryo induction from leaf explants of Dendrobium cv. Chiengmai Pink cultured on 1/2 Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Whether in light or darkness, explants easily became
necrotic and no embryos were obtained on growth regulator-free or auxin-containing media after 60 d of culture. By contrast,
five cytokinins tested induced direct embryo formation from leaf explants, and explants cultured in light had a higher embryogenic
response compared with those cultured in darkness. The best condition for direct embryo induction was at 18.16 μM TDZ cultured in light for 60 d, where 33% of explants formed a mean number of 33.6 embryos per explant. During subculture
on growth regulator-free 1/2 MS medium, embryos gradually developed into plantlets. Secondary embryogenesis was occasionally
found on sheath leaves of embryos. Regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted and grown in a greenhouse environment. 相似文献

To gain a better understanding of gene expression in bamboo (Bambusa edulis Murno), we have used a combination of suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH), microarray hybridization analysis, sequencing, and bioinformatics to identify bamboo genes differentially expressed in a bamboo albino mutant. Ten expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were found to be differentially expressed; these were isolated and sequenced. RT-PCR analysis of these ESTs supported the results of the microarray analysis. Six ESTs that were nucleus-encoded exhibited differential expression patterns in the green wild-type bamboo relative to the albino mutant. These genes (exception being the Rubisco small subunit) were non-photosynthesis-related genes. The development of a specific SSH cDNA library in which most of the chloroplast-encoded or photosynthesis-related genes had been subtracted proved to be useful for studying the function of non-photosynthesis-related genes in the albino bamboo mutants with aberrant chloroplast genome. The combined use of this SSH library with microarray analysis will provide a powerful analytical tool for future studies of the bamboo genome. 相似文献

Dynamic fouling behaviors of submerged nonwoven bioreactor for filtration of activated sludge with different SRT 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The flux variations and resistances accumulated during filtration of activated sludge with sludge retention time (SRT) of 15, 30, and 60 days were analyzed to investigate the dynamic fouling behavior in a submerged nonwoven bioreactor. Different SRT values varied sludge condition and particle size distribution in the supernatants, which caused dissimilar fouling characteristics. Short-term fouling of the nonwoven bioreactor during filtration of activated sludge with SRT of 15 days was fully reversible, and the resistance percentages of solutes, colloids, and suspended solids were 6%, 27%, and 67%, respectively. On the other hand, significant increases of colloid resistance, such as with the filtration of activated sludge with SRT of 30 and 60 days, were related to the occurrence of irreversible fouling. The phenomenon of pore blocking by particles or colloids with size analogous to the pore of nonwoven fabric was a decisive factor leading to irreversible fouling in the large-pore materials. 相似文献
