猪-C反应蛋白的分离纯化及其性质的研究

以猪血清为材料,通过磷酸乙醇胺—琼脂糖亲和层析,Sepharose 4B柱层析和Sephacryl—S300凝胶过滤,获得了猪C—反应蛋白的结晶。猪C—反应蛋白可与肺炎球菌壁C多糖发生特异的沉淀反应,这种结合是依赖钙离子的。EDTA和一些磷脂代谢产物如磷酸胆碱,磷酸乙醇胺等,能抑制猪C—反应蛋白与C多糖的结合。在SDS—聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳及梯度聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳中,猪C—反应蛋白表现出与人C—反应蛋白相同的行为,亚基是一条分子量为23.5kD的肽链,全分子的表观分子量为150kD。猪C—反应蛋白与兔抗人C—反应的蛋白的抗血清能发生免疫交叉反应。     

Optimal dispatching of multipriority jobs to two heterogeneous workstations

The general problem scenario of this paper is the following: Jobs of various priorities, stationed in a common storage area, are waiting to be dispatched to two non-identical workstations. Any of the waiting jobs can be accessed from the storage at any given time. Each job can be processed on either of the workstations, but once a job has been assigned it may not be preempted. By job priority it is meant that a higher priority job has disptach preference over a lower priority job. The processing time of a job on a given workstation is assumed to be random, the distribution being dependent on the job type and the configuration of the workstation. Specifically, the first problem studied considers only two classes of jobs: (1) “hot” jobs, whose processing is to be expedited and thus have the higher dispatch priority, and (2) “routine” jobs which may be assigned to an available workstation only if the workstation has been rejected by all “hot” jobs. The processing times are assumed to be exponentially distributed with means depending on the job class and workstation. We assume that, on the average, one workstation is faster than the other with regard to processing any job. The dispatching objective for each job class is to minimize its expected flowtime. It is shown that threshold dispatching policies are optimal for this problem. That is, the faster processor should be utilized whenever possible, and for each class there exists an explicit threshold such that when the number of jobs of that class in the buffer exceeds this threshold then a job of that class is dispatched to the slower processor, otherwise these jobs wait for the faster processor to become available. For the higher priority jobs, this threshold is shown to be a function only of the various processing rates of the two workstations. For the lower priority jobs, the threshold also depends on the number of higher priority jobs in the buffer. The results is extended to a system with n priority classes. Again, it is shown that when the processing times are exponentially distributed with different rates and the dispatching objective for each class is to minimize its expected flowtime, the optimal dispatching policies are of threshold type. Explicit thresholds are easily derived.     

Ventilatory response of the sleeping newborn to CO2 during normoxic rebreathing

The ventilatory response of the newborn to CO2 was studied using a rebreathing method that minimized changes in arterial PO2 during the test. The aim was to study the variability of the ventilatory response to CO2 and take this into account to assess the relative magnitude of the response to CO2 during rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and quiet sleep (QS). Five full-term babies aged 4-6 days were given 5% CO2 in air to rebreathe for 1.5-3 min. O2 was added to the rebreathing circuit to maintain arterial O2 saturation and transcutaneous PO2 (Ptco2) at prerebreathing levels. Tests were repeated four to five times in REM sleep and QS. Mean Ptco2 levels varied between individuals but were similar during REM sleep and QS tests for each subject. The mean coefficient of variability of the ventilatory response was 35% (range 15-77%) during QS and 120% (range 32-220%) during REM sleep. PtcO2 fluctuations during tests [6.0 +/- 3.0 (SD) Torr, range 1-13 Torr] were not correlated with ventilatory response. Overall the ventilatory response was significantly lower in REM sleep than in QS (12.2 +/- 3.0 vs. 38.7 +/- 3.0 ml.min-1.Torr-1.kg-1, P less than 0.001; 2-way analysis of variance) due to a small (nonsignificant) fall in the tidal volume response and a significant fall in breathing rate. In 12 REM sleep tests there was no significant ventilatory response; mean inspiratory flow increased significantly during 8 of these 12 tests. We conclude that there is a significant decrease in the ventilatory response of the newborn to CO2 rebreathing during REM sleep compared with QS.

Virological survey of rhesus monkeys in China

A virological survey of rhesus monkeys captured in China for 13 viruses and/or antibodies was performed. Antigens used were SFV, SF40, HSV-1, Sa11, measles, vaccinia, epidemic or simian hemorrhagic fever, Langat, Kunming, poliomyelitis, HIV, SV41 and rubella. Monkeys were from Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. Antibody was detected to all the listed viruses except HIV, SV41 and rubella. Both SFV and SV40 were recovered from monkeys, but H. simiae, LCM and coxsackieviruses were not.
