杭州西湖水域微生物的生态调查

对杭州西湖水域微生物生态调查结果表明:(1)有机营养型细菌在富营养化程度较重的岳湖分布较多,而无机营养型细菌在水质较好的小南湖丰度较大;(2)许多微生物类群在温度较高的季节数量反而较少;(3)西湖经综合治理后,异养型细菌和大肠菌群数量有显着减少,但近年又有增加的趋势;(4)西湖水体中的微生物以假单胞菌属的细菌较多,而底泥中芽孢杆菌属的细菌占优势。       

LRRC25 plays a key role in all-trans retinoic acid-induced granulocytic differentiation as a novel potential leukocyte differentiation antigen

Leukocyte differentiation antigens (LDAs) play important roles in the immune system, by serving as surface markers and participating in multiple biological activities, such as recognizing pathogens, mediating membrane signals, interacting with other cells or systems, and regulating cell differentiation and activation. Data mining is a powerful tool used to identify novel LDAs from whole genome. LRRC25 (leucine rich repeat-containing 25) was predicted to have a role in the function of myeloid cells by a large-scale “omics” data analysis. Further experimental validation showed that LRRC25 is highly expressed in primary myeloid cells, such as granulocytes and monocytes, and lowly/intermediately expressed in B cells, but not in T cells and almost all NK cells. It was down-regulated in multiple acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and bone marrow cells of AML patients and up-regulated after all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-mediated granulocytic differentiation in AML cell lines and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL; AML-M3, FAB classification) cells. Localization analysis showed that LRRC25 is a type I transmembrane molecule. Although ectopic LRRC25 did not promote spontaneous differentiation of NB4 cells, knockdown of LRRC25 by siRNA or shRNA and knockout of LRRC25 by the CRISPR-Cas9 system attenuated ATRA-induced terminal granulocytic differentiation, and restoration of LRRC25 in knockout cells could rescue ATRA-induced granulocytic differentiation. Therefore, LRRC25, a potential leukocyte differentiation antigen, is a key regulator of ATRA-induced granulocytic differentiation.     

工程菌种子制备方法对rEPA表达量影响的研究

由重组E.colirPE553D所表达的基因缺失突变脱毒的重组铜绿假单胞菌外毒素A(rEPA),目前大量以载体蛋白用于多种细菌多糖蛋白结合疫苗研究。rEPA的表达量受众多因素的影响,种子的制备方式就是重要因素之一。本文用长期冷冻保存的和新鲜提取的质粒分别转化宿主菌E.coliBL21(λDE3)后制备种子,并将它们和冻干保存的E.colirPE553D在相同条件下培养和诱导,经SDS-PAGE分析表明长期保存的质粒转化宿主后的重组工程菌生长速度较慢,但rEPA的表达量和新鲜质粒转化制备的工程菌基本相同,而冻干保存的工程菌E.colirPE553D几乎丧失了表达rEPA的能力。     

杀虫单、氟虫腈及其混剂对二化螟的防治效果

20 0 0～ 2 0 0 1年在安徽省庐江县进行了 2次药剂及剂量对二化螟的防治和保苗效果试验。试验1表明 ,40 %氟虫腈·杀虫单WP 42 0g(每hm2 有效成分用量 )处理的虫口减退率为 94 7% ,与 5 40g,660g及 5 %氟虫腈 (锐劲特 )SC 3 0g处理相差不大。试验 2表明 ,3 0 %杀虫单·氟虫腈WP 2 70g喷雾即可达到96 2 %的防效 ,接近 3 60g和 5 %氟虫腈SC 2 2 5g的效果。 2次试验中各处理的保苗效果与虫口减退率基本一致。比较药剂成本 ,可见这 2种新型复配剂对二化螟具有良好的防治和保苗效果 ,且上述剂量是经济高效的。     

糖尿病肾病(DN)患者血清脂肪特异性丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂(Vaspin)水平的变化及其与炎症因子的关系研究

目的:分析糖尿病肾病(Diabetic Nephropthy,DN)患者血清脂肪特异性丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂(Vaspin)水平的变化及其与炎症因子的关系。方法:将我院近期(2016年10月-2019年10月)收治100例DN患者设置为DN组,依据DN临床进展分期分组,39例白蛋白尿正常者设置为A组、40例早期DN微量蛋白尿者设置为B组、21例临床DN大量蛋白尿者设为C组,并选取同期于我院的健康体检健康者50例设置为健康组。检测和比价各组糖脂代谢水平、血清Vaspin、炎性因子水平,并进行相关性分析。结果:四组入组者脂代谢各项指标水平相比差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。而DN组中A组、B组、C组患者血清糖代谢水平均明显高于健康组(P0.05)。DN组各组Vaspin、TNF-α、IL-6、MCP-1水平均高于健康组(P0.05)。C组、B组、A组IL-6、TNF-α、MCP-1升高,Vaspin降低(P0.05)。A组IL-10水平高于健康组(P0.05)。其余各组间比较(P0.05)。各组Vaspin水平与促炎因子IL-6、TNF-α、MCP-1水平呈负相关(P0.05),与抗炎因子IL-10水平无关(P0.05)。结论:随着疾病的严重程度增加,DN患者血清vaspin呈上升趋势,且与患者的炎症因子呈负相关。检测vaspin水平的变化有助于临床对该病的防治。     

Silencing GIRK4 expression in human atrial myocytes by adenovirus-delivered small hairpin RNA

GIRK4 has been shown to be a subunit of I_KACh, and the use of GIRK4 in human atrial myocytes to treat arrhythmia remains an important research pursuit. Adenovirus-delivered small hairpin RNA (shRNA) has been used to mediate gene knockdown in mouse cardiocytes, yet there is no information on the successful application of this technique in human cardiocytes. In the current study, we used a siRNA validation system to select the most efficient sequence for silencing GIRK4. To this end, adenovirus-delivered shRNA, which expresses this sequence, was used to silence GIRK4 expression in human atrial myocytes. Finally, the feasibility, challenges, and results of silencing GIRK4 expression were evaluated by RT-PCR, western blotting, and the voltage-clamp technique. The levels of mRNA and protein were depressed significantly in cells infected by adenovirus-delivered shRNA against GIRK4, approximately 86.3% and 51.1% lower than those cells infected by adenovirus-delivered nonsense shRNA, respectively. At the same time, I_KACh densities were decreased 53% by adenovirus-delivered shRNA against GIRK4. In summary, adenovirus-delivered shRNA against GIRK4 mediated efficient GIRK4 knockdown in human atrial myocytes and decreased I_KACh densities_. As such, these data indicated that adenovirus-delivered shRNA against GIRK4 is a potential tool for treating arrhythmia.
