长春和北京地区引起婴幼儿肺炎的3型与7型腺病毒的分子流行病学研究

对长春和北京地区连续12年(1976年冬至1988年春)引起小儿肺炎的3、7型腺病毒102株标本,进行了限制性内切酶核酸电泳图谱分析。56株7型腺病毒经BamHⅠ、BclⅠ、BglⅠ、XbaⅠ、SmaⅠ、HindⅢ分析后,表现为两个基因组型——Ad7 b和Ad7 d。46株3型腺病毒被Bg1 Ⅱ、BamHⅠ酶解后,表现为 3个基因组型——Ad 3Ⅰ、Ad 3Ⅱ、Ad 3Ⅲ。各基因组型的分布情况是:56株7型腺病毒中,43株为Ad 7 b(76.8％),流行于1976年冬至1986年春;13株是Ad 7 d(23.2％),出现于1982年,与Ad 7 b共同流行;1986年～1988年分析的5株病毒都是Ad 7d。43株3型腺病毒中,Ad3Ⅰ42株(91.0％),分布于12年中;Ad 3Ⅱ、Ad 3Ⅲ各2株,散在分布。此结果表明,国内这12年中引起小儿肺炎的3型腺病毒至少有3个基因组型,7型腺病毒至少有两个基因组型。Ad3Ⅰ和Ad7 b是流行优势基因组型。但自80年代初开始出现Ad7 d以来,有逐年增多的趋势,最近两年的标本又都是Ad7 d,很可能它将取代Ad7 b而成为流行的优势基因组型.     

多聚酶链反应技术鉴别肾综合征出血热病毒血清型的初步研究

肾综合征出血热(HFRS)为一组抗原性密切相关的布尼亚科汉坦病毒引起的急性传染病。在我国存在至少两种临床表现、动物宿主及流行特征截然不同的血清型别,即血清Ⅰ型(汉坦型)和血清Ⅱ型(汉城型)。这两型病毒间的血清学定型已有报道。近年来,除啮齿类动物外,从临床病人以及非啮齿类动物体内也分离到了HFRS病毒。同时出现两类型别毒株共存,以及从家鼠体内分离到野鼠型毒株或从野鼠体内分离到家鼠型毒株的复杂情形。为此,准确检定并鉴别不同来源毒株型别,将为深入了解其病原学、流行病学以及制定疫苗生产策略提供重要信息。     

天祝高寒珠芽蓼草甸群落的热值和营养成分的初步研究

 本文报告了甘肃天祝高寒珠芽蓼(Polygonum viviparum)草甸群落地上及地下四部分生物量的热值和营养成分动态,并对其放牧利用的价值进行了总的评价。 6—9月现存量的热值平均为18330焦／克干物质,或20279焦／克去灰分物质,较立枯物+凋落物、活根、死根的平均值为大;死根略大于活根。在珠芽蓼及其他大多数植物种子成熟期的8月下旬,现存量的热值最大,其他三部分的热值变化也有其各自的特点。现存量6—9月的平均营养成分以绝对干重计为：粗蛋白13.52%,粗脂肪2.25,粗纤维22.99,无氮浸出物51.88,粗灰分9.61(其中钙1.627,磷0.164);在时间变化上四部分各有其特点。根据地形、植物组成、产量、易食性、适口性、热值和营养成分等综合条件,认为珠芽蓼草甸是良好的放牧地。

微生物在水环境中的存活和生长

在灭菌自来水模拟水体中,研究了7种细菌的存活和生长规律。Klebsiella pneumo-niae,Enterobacter aerogenes,Agrobacterium tumefatciens,在7天内平板计数降至0,而水体中镜检细菌总数(AODC)和活菌直接计数(DVC)结果无大变化,说明细菌已变成活的非可培养状态。Micrococcus,flavus 和 Streptococcus faecalis 的可培养菌数也可降至0。Pseudomonas sp.在48小时内由10~5降至10~2cfu/ml,随即升至10~6 cfu/ml 并持续到实验终了(41天)。Bacillus subtilis 在48小时平板计数降至10~2cfu/ml 并维持在该水平至实验结束(38天)。研究结果表明仅用涂布平板法检测多种细菌在水环境中的生存和分布是不合适的。     

Expression of mammalian liver glycolytic/ gluconeogenic enzymes in Escherichia coli: Recovery of active enzyme is strain and temperature dependent

A number of mammalian enzymes have been expressed in Escherichia coli using the T7 RNA polymerase system, but the production of large amounts of these proteins has been limited by the low percentage of active enzyme that is found in the soluble fraction. In this report the effect of induction temperature was tested on the recovery of four rat liver enzymes, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6- bisphosphatase, fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, glucokinase, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. We also tested the effect using a host cell strain that contains a plasmid encoding T7 lysozyme, an inhibitor of T7 RNA polymerase. Large amounts of the first three enzymes accumulated in the cells after 4 h of induction at 37 degrees C, but only about 1-2% of the total expressed proteins were recovered in a soluble, active form. When the induction was carried out at 22 degrees C for 48 h with the pLysS strain, 20- to 30-fold higher amounts of the active expressed enzymes were recovered in the soluble fraction, even though the total accumulation and the rate of synthesis of these proteins were reduced. The optimal concentration of isopropyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside required for induction was the same at both temperatures. On the other hand, the recovery of active fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, a heat-stable enzyme, was 66% at 37 degrees C and was essentially unchanged at an induction temperature of 22 degrees C. Lowered induction temperature would appear to be of utility for enhanced recovery of active mammalian enzymes which are insoluble in E. coli cytosol at 37 degrees C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

人体基因组随机单拷贝顺序的分离及其在染色体上的定位

本文从构建杂种细胞14-7-1的基因组文库出发,用种特异的探针分离出含有人体基因组顺序的重组子,并进一步分析了其中13个克隆,得到8个单拷贝顺序。通过与已建立的杂种细胞克隆分布板杂交以及染色体的原位杂交方法,将1个单拷贝顺序FD11-1定位在11p11-q11上。由于已经报道在11号染色体上具有3个连锁群,它们分别位于11p15、11p13和11q13上,因此,FD11-1有可能为11号染色体连锁基因图的建立提供1个有意义的座位。     

Metabolic activities in germinated ancient lotus seeds

Seeds of Taizi lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn cv. Taizi) wereunearthed in a western suburb of Beijing in 1984, and determinedto be 58070-years-old by radiocarbon dating. Pretreatment withconcentrated sulphuric acid for 6 h promoted 75% of the seedstested to germinate. Over 3 weeks of incubation after the additionof water, storage starch, total soluble sugar and globulin inthe cotyledons decreased whereas albumin and soluble -aminonitrogen increased. These changes in cotyledonary componentswere similar to the changes seen in four present-day Indianlotus varieties, although the content of reducing sugar in Taizilotus was significantly lower. The polypeptide compositionsin extracts from the cotyledons and embryonic axis of Taiziseeds, as analysed by SDS-PAGE, were similar to those of present-dayJiangxi seeds. Taizi lotus also showed the ability to incorporateradioactive leucine into the trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-insolublefraction of a cotyledonary extract during the 24 h post-imbibitionperiod. The incorporation was inhibited when seeds of Taizilotus were allowed to rehydrate for 24 h in the presence of-amanitin or cycloheximide. Key words: Ancient lotus, Nelumbo nucifera, protein synthesis, seed germination, seed viability     

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the donkey and mtDNA comparisons among four closely related mammalian species-pairs

The nucleotide sequence of the complete mitochondrial genome of the donkey, Equus asinus, was determined. The length of the molecule is 16,670 bp. The length, however, is not absolute due to pronounced heteroplasmy caused by variable numbers of two types of repetitive motifs in the control region. The sequence of the repeats is (a) 5′-CACACCCA and (b) 5′-TGCGCGCA, respectively. The order of (a) and (b) can be expressed as {n[2(a)+(b)]+m(a)}. In 32 different clones analyzed the number of n and m ranged from 0 to 9 and 1 to 7. The two rRNA genes, the 13 peptide-coding genes, and the 22 tRNA genes of the donkey and the horse, Equus caballus, were compared in detail. Total nucleotide difference outside the control region was 6.9%. Nucleotide difference between peptide-coding genes ranged from 6.4% to 9.4% with a mean of 8.0%. In the inferred protein sequences of the 13 peptide-coding genes the amino acid difference was 0.2–8.8%, and the mean for the 13 concatenated amino acid sequences was 1.9%. In the 22 tRNA genes, the mean difference was 3.5%, and that in the two rRNA genes was 4.1%. The mtDNA differences between the donkey and the horse suggest that the evolutionary separation of the two species occurred ≈9 million years ago. Analyses of differences among the mtDNAs of three other species-pairs, harbor seal/grey seal, fin whale/blue whale, and Homo/common chimpanzee, showed that the relative evolutionary rate of individual peptide-coding genes varies among different species-pairs and modes of comparison. The findings show that the superimposition of sequence data of one lineage for resolving and dating evolutionary divergences of other lineages should be performed with caution unless based on comprehensive data.
