东海浮游糠虾种类特征和多样性

依据1997～2000年对东海23°30′～33°00′N、118°30′～128°00′E海域4个季节海洋调查资料,运用定量、定性方法, 探讨了东海浮游糠虾类种类特征、多样性以及种类分布与环境的关系.结果显示,东海调查水域共鉴定浮游糠虾类18种,秋季最多,有14种,夏季9种,春季7种,冬季仅4种;漂浮囊糠虾（Gastrosaccus pelagicus）等11个种是东海的常见种,东方原糠虾（Hypererythrops spinifera）是次常见种,其余则是稀有种;糠虾类物种的季节更替十分明显,特别是从秋季到冬季;盐度是影响东海糠虾类分布的主要环境因子,冬、夏季,糠虾类分布主要受沿岸河流和长江径流的影响,物种数与盐度呈负相关,秋季物种数与表层温度呈负相关,与底层盐度呈正相关.东海糠虾种类组成季节特征和地区特征的形成主要与长江径流势力消长有关.东海各海区糠虾类多样性指数（H′）值大多数较低,与其主要优势种的聚集性有关.

Mitosis and microtubule organizational changes in rice root-tip cells

The pattern of change of the microtubule cytoskeleton of the root-tip cells of rice during mitosis was studied using immunofluorescence technic and confocal laser scanning microscopy. All the major stages of ceil division including preprophase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase were observed. The most significant finding was that in the preprophase cells microtubules radiating from the nuclear surface to the cortex were frequently seen. During development these microtubules became closely associated with the preprophase band and prophase spindie indicating that the microtubules radiating from the nuclear surface, the preprophase band and the prophazc spindle were structurally and functionally closely related to each other. Granule-like anchorage sites for the radiating microtubules at the muclear surface were often seen and the possibility that these gramle-like anchorage sites might represent the microtubule organizing centres was discussed.     

Prediction of tyrosine sulfation with mRMR feature selection and analysis

Protein tyrosine sulfation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification (PTM) of secreted and transmembrane proteins that pass through the Golgi apparatus. In this study, we developed a new method for protein tyrosine sulfation prediction based on a nearest neighbor algorithm with the maximum relevance minimum redundancy (mRMR) method followed by incremental feature selection (IFS). We incorporated features of sequence conservation, residual disorder, and amino acid factor, 229 features in total, to predict tyrosine sulfation sites. From these 229 features, 145 features were selected and deemed as the optimized features for the prediction. The prediction model achieved a prediction accuracy of 90.01% using the optimal 145-feature set. Feature analysis showed that conservation, disorder, and physicochemical/biochemical properties of amino acids all contributed to the sulfation process. Site-specific feature analysis showed that the features derived from its surrounding sites contributed profoundly to sulfation site determination in addition to features derived from the sulfation site itself. The detailed feature analysis in this paper might help understand more of the sulfation mechanism and guide the related experimental validation.

The Composition of Microbiome in Larynx and the Throat Biodiversity between Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients and Control Population

The throat is an ecological assemblage involved human cells and microbiota, and the colonizing bacteria are important factors in balancing this environment. However, this bacterial community profile has thus been poorly investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the microbial biology of the larynx and to analyze the throat biodiversity in laryngeal carcinoma patients compared to a control population in a case-control study. Barcoded pyrosequencing analysis of the 16S rRNA gene was used. We collected tissue samples from 29 patients with laryngeal carcinoma and 31 control patients with vocal cord polyps. The findings of high-quality sequence datasets revealed 218 genera from 13 phyla in the laryngeal mucosa. The predominant communities of phyla in the larynx were Firmicutes (54%), Fusobacteria (17%), Bacteroidetes (15%), Proteobacteria (11%), and Actinobacteria (3%). The leading genera were Streptococcus (36%), Fusobacterium (15%), Prevotella (12%), Neisseria (6%), and Gemella (4%). The throat bacterial compositions were highly different between laryngeal carcinoma subjects and control population (p = 0.006). The abundance of the 26 genera was significantly different between the laryngeal cancer and control groups by metastats analysis (p<0.05). Fifteen genera may be associated with laryngeal carcinoma by partial least squares discriminant analysis (p<0.001). In summary, this study revealed the microbiota profiles in laryngeal mucosa from tissue specimens. The compositions of bacteria community in throat were different between laryngeal cancer patients and controls, and probably were related with this carcinoma. The disruption of this bio-ecological niche might be a risk factor for laryngeal carcinoma.
