The effect of tripeptide tyroserleutide (YSL) on animal models of hepatocarcinoma

This study aimed to observe the effects of tyroserleutide (tyrosyl-seryl-leucine, YSL) on the survival time of mice transplanted with the ascitic fluid-type hepatocarcinoma H22, as well as the inhibitory effect of tyroserleutide on the human hepatocarcinoma Bel-7402 that was transplanted into nude mice. At doses of 80, 20 and 5 microg/kg/d, tyroserleutide significantly prolonged the survival of mice transplanted with H22 tumor cells, producing survival rates of 89%, 39% and 49%, respectively, which were statistically significantly different from the saline group (P < 0.05). YSL, at doses of 80, 160 and 320 microg/kg/d significantly inhibited the growth of the human hepatocarcinoma Bel-7402 tumor in nude mice, producing inhibition of 40%, 64% and 59%, respectively; this inhibition was significantly greater than that by saline (P < 0.05). HE staining and electron microscopy of the pathological changes of the tumor in nude mice showed that YSL changed the structure Bel-7402 tumor cells that were transplanted into nude mice, and also induced tumor cell apoptosis and necrosis, which could be a mechanism by which YSL inhibits the tumor growth in animal models.     

武夷山不同海拔植被土壤呼吸季节变化及对温度的敏感性

以武夷山国家级自然保护区为实验基地,研究了4种不同海拔高度上植物群落土壤呼吸速率的季节变化及其对温度的敏感性,以及与主要环境因子的关系.结果表明：4种不同海拔植物群落的土壤呼吸速率均具有明显且一致的季节变化,其中夏季土壤呼吸速率最大,为3.10～6.57 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1,冬季最小,为0.27～1.15 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1;土壤呼吸速率与土壤温度呈显著指数相关,不同样地土壤呼吸速率与土壤含水率和凋落物输入量的关系各不相同;高海拔地区土壤呼吸的Q₁₀值显著高于低海拔地区.在中亚热带地区,不同海拔土壤呼吸速率的季节波动主要受土壤温度的影响;在未来全球气候变暖的背景下,高海拔地区的土壤可能释放更多的CO₂.     

Analysis of variable sites between two complete South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) mitochondrial genomes

In order to investigate the mitochondrial genome of Panthera tigris amoyensis, two South China tigers (P25 and P27) were analyzed following 15 cymt-specific primer sets. The entire mtDNA sequence was found to be 16,957 bp and 17,001 bp long for P25 and P27 respectively, and this difference in length between P25 and P27 occurred in the number of tandem repeats in the RS-3 segment of the control region. The structural characteristics of complete P. t. amoyensis mitochondrial genomes were also highly similar to those of P. uncia. Additionally, the rate of point mutation was only 0.3% and a total of 59 variable sites between P25 and P27 were found. Out of the 59 variable sites, 6 were located in 6 different tRNA genes, 6 in the 2 rRNA genes, 7 in non-coding regions (one located between tRNA-Asn and tRNA-Tyr and six in the D-loop), and 40 in 10 protein-coding genes. COI held the largest amount of variable sites (9 sites) and Cytb contained the highest variable rate (0.7%) in the complete sequences. Moreover, out of the 40 variable sites located in 10 protein-coding genes, 12 sites were nonsynonymous.

目的:探讨颈动脉窦部支架置入术中血压、心率的精细化管理,以减少心血管并发症,提高手术成功率.方法:对2009年6月-2010年3月间行颈动脉窦部狭窄支架置入术的59例患者,通过制定精细化的护理措施,从认知、心理、行为等方面进行护理干预,充分作好预见性准备,建立血压、心率波动曲线图,及时发现术中心率、血压的变化,把握给药时机,有效预防和控制心血管并发症.结果:通过良好的精细化管理措施,术中有心率减慢6例、血压降低4例、血压升高2例,因发现及时,给予对症处理后恢复正常,其余患者顺利完成介入治疗,无严重并发症发生.结论:加强窦部支架置入术中心率、血压的精细化管理,是保证病人安全的有力措施,对手术的顺利进行具有重要的指导意义.     

大鼠不同心肌肥厚模型左心室基因表达谱变化的比较

为了解心肌肥厚时基因表达谱的变化规律,本实验复制了三种大鼠心肌肥厚模型：肾上腹主动脉缩窄(suprarenal abdominal aortic stenosis,SRS)、动静脉瘘(arterial-vein fistula,AVF)和去甲。肾上腺素持续静脉输注(jugular vein infusion of norepinephrine,NEi),并应用组织化学方法和超声心动术检测大鼠心脏结构和功能指标,应用cDNA基因芯片技术检测心脏基因表达水平的变化。SRS和NEi引起大鼠向心性心肌肥厚,AVF引起大鼠离心性心肌肥厚,其中NEi大鼠心肌纤维化明显。对不同心肌肥厚模型间大鼠左心室基因表达谱的变化进行两两比较。结果显示,有部分基因在不同模型中表达水平均发生变化,其中多数基因在两种模型中表达水平改变的方向相同,也有少部分基因在两种模型中表达水平改变方向相反。综合比较三种心肌肥厚模型的基因表达谱,各种模型都有特异的基因表达变化,但是有19个基因在三种心肌肥厚模型中表达水平均发生改变。研究结果有可能成为心肌肥厚的标志性基因或治疗靶点,为心肌肥厚发生机制的深入研究提供了新的线索。     

高寒草甸15种植物种子发芽的比较研究

对高寒草甸 15种植物种子的发芽进行了比较实验研究。结果显示 ,冷湿层化、温度变幅及光照条件能够提高或者降低多数高寒草甸植物种子发芽率。其中 ,13种植物对层化、11种对光照条件、14种对温度变幅处理有显著性响应。 15种植物中 ,有14种对单一因子或因子组合有反应 ,仅藏嵩草种子发芽对设定的因子或因子组合没有响应。根据不同植物种子对不同处理及其组合的发芽反应可将植物种子划分为不同的反应类型 ,通过对种子进行冷湿层化处理 ,可以部分或者全部地替代某些植物种子发芽对光、温需求。探明植物种子在特定环境因子组合条件下的发芽表现 ,对通过种子恢复退化草甸是至关重要的。
