Retrieval Intention Modulates the Effects of Directed Forgetting Instructions on Recollection

The neurocognitive basis of memory retrieval is often examined by investigating brain potential old/new effects, which are differences in brain activity between successfully remembered repeated stimuli and correctly rejected new stimuli in a recognition test. In this study, we combined analyses of old/new effects for words with an item-method directed-forgetting manipulation in order to isolate differences between the retrieval processes elicited by words that participants were initially instructed to commit to memory and those that participants were initially instructed to forget. We compared old/new effects elicited by to-be-forgotten (TBF) words with those elicited by to-be-remembered (TBR) words in both an explicit-memory test (a recognition test) and an implicit-memory test (a lexical-decision test). Behavioral results showed clear directed forgetting effects in the recognition test, but not in the lexical decision test. Mirroring the behavioral findings, analyses of brain potentials showed evidence of directed forgetting only in the recognition test. In this test, potentials from 450–650 ms (P600 old/new effects) were more positive for TBR relative to TBF words. By contrast, P600 effects evident during the lexical-decision test did not differ in magnitude between TBR and TBF items. When taken in the context of prior studies that have linked similar parietal old/new effects to the recollection of episodic information, these data suggest that directed-forgetting effects manifest primarily in greater episodic retrieval by TBR than TBF items, and that retrieval intention may be important for these directed-forgetting effects to occur.

从5批患病的凡纳滨对虾分离细菌性病原,共分离纯化了50株细菌,随机选择形态差异的11株进行16S rDNA基因测序。测序结果表明,这11株菌主要分布在节杆菌属、弧菌属、芽胞杆菌属、微小杆菌属和希瓦氏菌属。对其中2株弧菌进行16S rDNA基因系统进化树分析,发现1株A1-1可能为Vibrio parahaemolyticus(副溶血性弧菌),而另外1株菌A2-3可能为Vibrio rotiferianus(半滑舌鳎病原菌轮虫弧菌)。形态和生理生化鉴定表明A1-1符合副溶血性弧菌的基本特征,可能是副溶血性弧菌中的一个型。人工感染实验表明A1-1对金鲫鱼具有明显的致病性,1×10~6 CFU感染剂量时能使80%金鲫鱼死亡。耐药性分析表明A1-1对土霉素、红霉素有较强的抗药性,而对链霉素、新霉素、四环素和氟本尼考均表现一定的敏感性。

Schlafen 1 Inhibits the Proliferation and Tube Formation of Endothelial Progenitor Cells

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are the major source of cells that restore the endothelium during reendothelialization. This study was designed to investigate whether Schlafen 1 (Slfn1) has an effect on the proliferation and tube formation of EPCs in vivo. Slfn1 was expressed in rat EPCs. The overexpression of Slfn1 suppressed the proliferation and tube formation of EPCs; conversely, the knockdown of Slfn1 by shRNA promoted the proliferation and tube formation of EPCs. Furthermore, when Slfn1 was overexpressed, the EPCs were arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In contrast, when Slfn1 was knocked down, the EPCs progressed into the S phase of the cell cycle. Additionally, the overexpression of Slfn1 decreased the expression of Cyclin D1, whereas the knockdown of Slfn1 increased the expression of Cyclin D1; these findings suggest that Cyclin D1 is downstream of Slfn1 in Slfn1-mediated EPC proliferation. Taken together, these results indicate a key role for Slfn1 in the regulation of EPC biological behavior, which may provide a new target for the use of EPCs during reendothelialization.
