Dose-response relationship of the cardiovascular adaptation to endurance training in healthy adults: how much training for what benefit?

Occupational or recreational exercise reduces mortality from cardiovascular disease. The potential mechanisms for this reduction may include changes in blood pressure (BP) and autonomic control of the circulation. Therefore, we conducted the present long-term longitudinal study to quantify the dose-response relationship between the volume and intensity of exercise training, and regulation of heart rate (HR) and BP. We measured steady-state hemodynamics and analyzed dynamic cardiovascular regulation by spectral and transfer function analysis of cardiovascular variability in 11 initially sedentary subjects during 1 yr of progressive endurance training sufficient to allow them to complete a marathon. From this, we found that 1) moderate exercise training for 3 mo decreased BP, HR, and total peripheral resistance, and increased cardiovascular variability and arterial baroreflex sensitivity; 2) more prolonged and intense training did not augment these changes further; and 3) most of these changes returned to control values at 12 mo despite markedly increased training duration and intensity equivalent to that routinely observed in competitive athletes. In conclusion, increases in R-wave-R-wave interval and cardiovascular variability indexes are consistent with an augmentation of vagal modulation of HR after exercise training. It appears that moderate doses of training for 3 mo are sufficient to achieve this response as well as a modest hypotensive effect from decreasing vascular resistance. However, more prolonged and intense training does not necessarily lead to greater enhancement of circulatory control and, therefore, may not provide an added protective benefit via autonomic mechanisms against death by cardiovascular disease.     

用ribozyme抑制增殖细胞核抗原的表达对HaLa细胞增殖的影响

增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)是DNA聚合酶δ的辅助蛋白,它是细胞染色体DNA复制所必需的。人工设计的ribozyme具有可特异地切割PCNA mRNA的性质,将此ribozyme的自修剪体内表达质粒导入HeLa细胞,从细胞总RNA中分离相应部分能在体外切割靶RNA片段,证明此表达质粒在细胞内能表达出有活性的ribozyme分子。与对照相比,导入ribo-zyme表达质粒的HeLa细胞进入S期的时间从12 h推迟到20 h,而突变ribozyme的对照表明反义抑制对细胞进入S期的影响较小(推迟到15 h)。证明该ribozyme能有效抑制He-La细胞DNA复制,同时亦证明PCNA对于细胞DNA复制及细胞周期进程的重要性。

In Vitro Reconstitution of Cortical Actin Assembly Sites in Budding Yeast

We have developed a biochemical approach for identifying the components of cortical actin assembly sites in polarized yeast cells, based on a permeabilized cell assay that we established for actin assembly in vitro. Previous analysis indicated that an activity associated with the cell cortex promotes actin polymerization in the bud. After inactivation by a chemical treatment, this activity can be reconstituted back to the permeabilized cells from a cytoplasmic extract. Fractionation of the extract revealed that the reconstitution depends on two sequentially acting protein factors. Bee1, a cortical actin cytoskeletal protein with sequence homology to Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein, is required for the first step of the reconstitution. This finding, together with the severe defects in actin organization associated with the bee1 null mutation, indicates that Bee1 protein plays a direct role in controlling actin polymerization at the cell cortex. The factor that acts in the second step of the reconstitution has been identified by conventional chromatography. It is composed of a novel protein, Pca1. Sequence analysis suggests that Pca1 has the potential to interact with SH3 domain-containing proteins and phospholipids.     

食用菌灭活原生质体电融合及属间融合产物的鉴定分析

食用菌因其显著的营养、保健、药用及综合利用价值受到世人青睐。原生质体融合技术则为食用菌的育种和遗传学研究提供了一条很好的途径。食用菌的种内、种间乃至属间、目间的原生质体融合均已有过报道,但这些工作大多利用营养缺陷型标记的亲株,采用化学融合法完成。这种融合的效率较低,对亲株的标记繁琐费时,甚至会对菌株性状产生不良影响。最近,一种具有较高融合效率的物理融合法——电融合法以及非遗传性标记法分别被一些研究者所采用。本研究将原生质体电融合法与灭活标记法相结合来获得食用菌的属间融合产物,并采用包括同工酶分析和RAPD(或AP-PCR)方法在内的分子生物学方法,对食用菌属间杂交后代的遗传学特性进行初步探讨。1 材料和方法     

心肺压力感受器持续卸荷对前臂血流、血管阻力及心率变异性谱的影响

低压值下体负压（ＬＢＮＰ）可仅使心肺压力感受器卸荷。采用－２ｋＰａＬＢＮＰ实验结果表明：ＬＢＮＰ既不引起动脉血压变化,也不引起心率改变,但却引起基础胸阻抗（Ｚ。）从对照的２１．８±０．４升高到２２．５±０．５Ω（Ｐ＜０．０１）,前臂血管阻力（ＦＶＲ）从１２．３±０．９升高到１９．９±１．４Ｕ（Ｐ＜０．０１）,前臂血流（ＦＢＦ）从对照时７．１±０．５降低到４．３±０．３ｍｌ·ｍｉｎ￣（－１）·１００ｍｌ￣（－１）,心率变异性谱（ＨＲＶ）未发生任何变化,即心肺压力感受器卸荷时心脏自主神经活动水平与均衡性不受影响。由于ＦＶＲ和ＦＢＦ的变化可间接反映外周血管交感传出活动水平,上述实验结果提示,心肺压力感受器对外周血管及心脏自主神经活动的调节可能存在机能分化现象。
