内毒素致大鼠肺损伤时肺组织β受体的变化与膜磷脂代谢的关系

采用放射性配基结合分析法,现察内毒大致大鼠急性肺损伤时肺β－肾上腺素能受体（β－ＡＲ）的变化。分别用荧光偏振法和高效液相色谱测定肺组织细胞膜脂流动性和磷脂含量。结果显示：（１）静脉注射内毒素后４ｈ,大鼠肺β－ＡＲ的最大结合容量明显降低,较对照组减少４７％;（２）内毒素组肺膜脂流动性和磷脂含量均明显降低,同时伴有肺组织磷脂酶Ａ２（ＰＬＡ２）活性升高。提示：（１）β－ＡＲ下调导致其介导的功能减弱,在内毒素诱导的大鼠急性肺损伤发病机理中起一定作用;（２）ＰＬＡ２激活是膜磷脂减少的重要原因,后者可导致膜脂流动性降低,结果引起β－ＡＲ的侧向扩散和旋转运劝减弱,从而减少β－ＡＲ与配基结合的机率,出现β－ＡＫ下调。     

重组人IL6／2融合蛋白对6.5Gy照射小鼠造血功能恢复的影响

观察了ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２对６．５Ｇｙγ线照射ＮＩＨ小鼠第１０天造血功能恢复的影响。结果表明：照射小鼠连续４ｄ给予ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２２５０μｇ·ｋｇ－１·ｄ－１,其脾重、ＣＦＵ－８、骨髓有核细胞数及ＣＭ－ＣＦＵ分别比对照组增加５９．０％、２７８．５％、５７．９％和１３８．２％,统计学处理均有显著差异;对此四项指标的改善也明显优于２５μｇ组。另外,２５０μｇ剂量组小鼠外周血象３０ｄ的动态观察结果表明,ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２不但能明显提高红细胞和血红蛋白的最低值,而且能使血小板的恢复提前。提示ｈＦＰＩＬ６／２在促进血小板生成和促进红系造血方面可能具有良好的应用前景。

草鱼染色体的包装（间期—中期）

以草鱼ＺＣ７９０１细胞株为材料,观察鱼类细胞从间期染色质到中期染色体的包装过程。主要通过（１）分裂期与间期细胞融合,诱导染色体早熟凝集;（２）染色体“伸长”处理;（３）培养细胞的低渗处理;（４）染色质辅展等方法,制作染色体标本,进行扫描和透射电镜观察。观察表明,鱼类染色质的基本结构与哺乳类细胞相同,也是直径约１０ｎｍ的核丝。染色体的色装有两种形式：一种是多级螺旋化形成直径约３００ｎｍ的染色单体,     

连锁值——表述基因连锁强度的新参数

在遗传学中,同一染色体上基因之间的连锁强度是用交换率表示的.一般而言,交换率越高,基因连锁强度越低.但交换率不是基因连锁强度的最方便的量度,因为利用交换率来计算具有连锁交换现象的杂交后代分离比例时,必须区分相引组和相斥组两种不同的亲本交配情形.在相引组,一个亲本具有两个显性性状,另一个亲本具有两个隐性性状;在相斥组,两个亲本各具有一个显性性状和一个隐性性状。这两种情形下的配子比例和F_2分     

多聚半乳糖醛酸内切酶的固定化及其性质研究

棉花枯萎病菌多聚半乳糖醛酸内切酶在pH大于7时不稳定,故对它进行多种化学修饰而又不影响其活性,必须在pHd小于7的体系中进行。本文报道将PGAUase在还原剂存在下,与稀酸处理的Sepharose 4B交联,获得较高活力的固定化酶。固定化酶催化动力学表明,最适pH为4,4,最适温度为55℃,在pH1至8.0范围内稳定。和溶液酶比较,对热稳定性提高,但对碱稳定性下降。以多聚半乳糖醛酸为底物,Km为0.27mmol/L,Vmax为66.67nmol/L·min,均大于溶液酶(Km=0.07mmol/L,Vmax=28.00nmol/L·min)。在pH4.8,30℃,聚半乳糖醛酸在固相酶的柱中循环水解不同的时间降解产物经圆盘电泳和等电聚焦测定,得到不同大小的寡糖片段混合物,证明固相酶和溶液酶的作用方式相同,同时使以酶解法制备一定大小的有生物活性的寡糖分子成为可能。     

Extinction risk of Chinese angiosperms varies between woody and herbaceous species

Aim

Understanding how species' traits and environmental contexts relate to extinction risk is a critical priority for ecology and conservation biology. This study aims to identify and explore factors related to extinction risk between herbaceous and woody angiosperms to facilitate more effective conservation and management strategies and understand the interactions between environmental threats and species' traits.

Location

China.

Taxon

Angiosperms.

Methods

We obtained a large dataset including five traits, six extrinsic variables, and 796,118 occurrence records for 14,888 Chinese angiosperms. We assessed the phylogenetic signal and used phylogenetic generalized least squares regressions to explore relationships between extinction risk, plant traits, and extrinsic variables in woody and herbaceous angiosperms. We also used phylogenetic path analysis to evaluate causal relationships among traits, climate variables, and extinction risk of different growth forms.

Results

The phylogenetic signal of extinction risk differed among woody and herbaceous species. Angiosperm extinction risk was mainly affected by growth form, altitude, mean annual temperature, normalized difference vegetation index, and precipitation change from 1901 to 2020. Woody species' extinction risk was strongly affected by height and precipitation, whereas extinction risk for herbaceous species was mainly affected by mean annual temperature rather than plant traits.

Main conclusions

Woody species were more likely to have higher extinction risks than herbaceous species under climate change and extinction threat levels varied with both plant traits and extrinsic variables. The relationships we uncovered may help identify and protect threatened plant species and the ecosystems that rely on them.
