我国某些蔷薇属花卉的核型研究

本文报道了我国产的5种和14个品种的蔷薇属花卉的染色体数目和核型,结果如下:小花型为二倍体,2n=2x=14,少数为混倍体;中花型为三倍体,2n=3x=21;大花型为四倍体,2n=4x=28。大部分种的核型均由其中部和近中部着丝点染色体组成,少数种具近端着丝点染色体。它们可以区分为3种核型类型,即1A、2A和1B。     

Geographical variability of alpha-1-antitrypsin alleles in China: A study on six Chinese populations

Summary Alpha-1-antitrypsin phenotypes of six Chinese Han populations (20°–45°N. latitude) were determined. The frequency of allele M2 increases from North to South China. The north-south change of M2 appears to be mainly at the expense of alleles M1 and M3. Geographical variability of other variants was also observed. In the northern populations, the most common variants are M4 and Etokyo; in the southern populations, Pweishi, a variant which can not be distinguished electrophoretically from Pyasugi. These results form a distribution pattern of alpha-1-antitrypsin alleles in China.     

杂交水稻及三系在发育过程中的酯酶同工酶比较研究

本文报道了利用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,测定杂交水稻及三系亲本共50个组合的萌动胚、芽,不同发育时期的叶片、根、雄蕊等12个组织或器官的酯酶同工酶的结果。根据所测结果,可把杂交水稻的酯酶同工酶酶谱分为5种类型:互补型、偏父型、偏母型、同型和“杂种”酶谱。强优势组合以互补型酶谱居多,弱优势组合都是同型酶谱,“杂种”酶谱仅见于V优64的幼穗分化期叶片和V优63、汕优63的三叶期叶片中。不同器官的互补酶谱都可作为预测杂种比势,鉴定杂交稻种子的纯度和真实性以及选配新杂交组合的一个手段或依据,但以对萌动胚或幼芽的测定更有实践意义。     

蚕豆植株中酰脲分布和叶片中酰脲水解活性

蚕豆根、茎和叶含有0.31～0.70 μmol酰脲·g~(-1)FW,并受结瘤和生长发育的影响。摘除正在生长的器官可观察到同腋位叶片酞脲含量暂时升高现象。 叶片中酰脲主要是尿囊酸。尿囊素酶和脲酶活性分别为0.30 μmol尿囊酸·g~(-1)FW·h~(-1)和0.19 μmol NH_3·g~(-1)FW·h~(-1)。尿囊酸含量和尿囊素酶活性日变化相似,只是后者峰值比前者出现早。     

类脂过氧化对竹红菌甲素引起膜蛋白光敏交联的影响

本文研究了丙二醛与红细胞膜温育后所形成的交联。当丙二醛浓度在5×10~-4mol/L以上时,膜蛋白发生交联,并且在460nm处有荧光特征峰出现。而甲素光敏所致膜蛋白的交联,在460nm处没有荧光峰,光敏所产生的内源丙二醛量很少,不足以引起红细胞膜反应形成交联。我们还研究了BHT和Vit E两种抗氧化剂对甲素光敏作用的影响。BHT能抑制类脂过氧化,不能抑制膜蛋白巯基的变化和膜蛋白的交联。而Vit E仅不能抑制膜蛋白的交联。以上结果均说明甲素光敏所致膜类脂过氧化是不参与膜蛋白交联的。     

鸡胚视网膜发育中花生凝集素结合糖蛋白的图谱

我们应用微量(1—3微克蛋白)等电点聚焦和SDS双向电泳对鸡胚视网膜发育的第4天(E_4)到第16天(E_(16))总蛋白图谱进行分析,并结合印迹的PNA免疫酶标反应,分析了总蛋白中与PNA结合的糖蛋白图谱的变化。E_4时没有看到PNA结合糖蛋白的任何阳性反应的斑点,E_6时这种糖蛋白的种数突然增加,约占总蛋白数的20%。新的糖蛋白增加的速率在E_6时最快,存其后的发育阶段(E_8—E_(16))慢于总蛋白增加的速率。这种糖蛋白大都是等电点在中性pH范围内,中等大小分子量的糖肽。视神经的总蛋白中含PNA结合糖蛋白数的比例高于同一发育年龄视网膜中的比例,这说明糖蛋白可能主要存在于质膜上。视网膜的总蛋白图谱相似于前脑的,但与视顶盖的更相近。本文对这种能与PNA结合,即含有D-半乳糖残基的糖蛋白在视网膜发育中的意义进行了讨论。     

Branching pattern of pulmonary arterial tree in anesthetized dogs

The geometry of the pulmonary arterial tree of six adult dogs was measured by a high-speed, volume-scanning, X-ray tomographic technique. After the dogs were anesthetized a catheter was advanced to the right ventricular outflow tract and 2 mL/kg Renovist contrast agent injected rapidly. During the subsequent pulmonary arterial phase of the angiogram the dogs were scanned. Three-dimensional geometry of the pulmonary arterial tree was measured in terms of vessel segment cross-sectional area, branching angles and interbranch segment lengths along axial pathways. The effect of lung inflation and phase of the cardiac cycle on geometry was shown to be most marked on vessel cross-sectional area. The geometric branching patterns in all dogs were similar. The observed, in-vivo branching pattern behaved somewhat like the branching pattern predicted from optimized models proposed by Murray, Zamir, and Uylings.
