福建省兰科植物区系分析

在野外调查、标本整理和文献查阅的基础上,分析了福建省兰科(Orchidaceae)植物的区系组成、生活型、分布区类型及其与邻近地区的关系.结果显示,福建省有兰科植物2亚科67属164种,其中,单种属和寡种属所占比例最大,占总属数的88.06%;中国特有种35种,占总种数的21.34%,表明福建省兰科植物区系是较为年轻的衍生性区系.生活型以地生型为主,地生型有97种,附生型和腐生型分别有59种和9种.福建省兰科植物区系成分复杂,具有11个分布区类型;以热带亚洲分布属为主,占总属数的37.31%;热带成分的属数和种数分别占总属数和总种数的73.12%和73.78%,表明福建省兰科植物区系具有热带性质.福建省兰科植物区系与广东、广西、云南和台湾兰科植物区系的共有种分别为94、92、93和80种,与江西、浙江、湖南、安徽和湖北兰科植物区系的共有种也在39种以上,说明福建省兰科植物区系具有明显的华南区系特点,并与华东和华中区系也有一定的联系.研究结果可为福建省兰科植物种质资源的科学保护和合理开发提供依据.     

稻田及其毗邻杂草地寄生蜂群落结构与特征

通过在稻田及其毗邻杂草地的系统调查、采集和室内标本鉴定,获知稻田中有67种寄生蜂,隶属16科;毗邻杂草地中有96种寄生蜂,隶属19科。稻田生境中的寄生蜂物种数占稻田天敌总物种数的45．89％,杂草生境中的寄生蜂物种数占杂草地天敌总物种数的46．60％。对稻田及其毗邻杂草地寄生蜂群落的各种属性指标进行比较研究,结果表明：杂草地寄生蜂群落的丰富度、多样性、优势集中度指数均比稻田高,而均匀性指数值比稻田低。对杂草生境和稻田生境寄生蜂群落的优势种动态比较可知,寄生蜂优势种在水稻的不同生育期是不相同的,在稻田生境中,优势种稻虱缨小蜂(Anagrus sp．)出现在水稻生育前期和中后期,等腹黑卵蜂(Telenomus dignus)出现在水稻生育后期,稻苞虫黑卵蜂(Telenomus sp．)在水稻生育前中期及后期出现。然而在杂草地中,作为优势种,稻虱缨小蜂出现在水稻生育前期和中期,等腹黑卵蜂出现在水稻生育前中期和后期,稻苞虫黑卵蜂在水稻整个生育期均有出现。两种锤角细蜂(Monelata sp．1和Acropiesta sp．2)是稻田的重要优势种,但不是杂草地的优势种;相反,稻蝽小黑卵蜂(Telenomus gifuensis)是杂草地的重要优势种,但不是稻田的优势种。由此可见,杂草地生境是稻田寄生蜂的种库之一,对稻田节肢动物群落的重建和种群保存有重要影响,因而适当保留田埂杂草和稻田周围的杂草地,减少对天敌的损害,提高天敌对害虫的自然控制作用,是水稻害虫持续控制的途径之一。     

用酵母双杂交系统筛选与痢疾杆菌侵袭素IPaC相互作用的蛋白

利用酵母双杂交技术筛选与IpaC相互作用的真核细胞蛋白。首先将IpaC全长基因克隆到诱饵蛋白载体pGBKT7中 ,以构建的pGBKT IpaC为靶蛋白质粒 ,筛选人HeLa细胞cDNA文库。在 2× 10 6个克隆中得到 2 2个阳性克隆。其中 2个阳性克隆编码人胶原酶蛋白片段。并且进一步证明与胶原酶片段相互作用的IpaC结构域在 6 2aa～ 170aa之间。提示IpaC可能在胶原酶参与的生物学过程中发挥作用。     

龙须菜(Gracilaria lemaneiformis)的生长、光合作用及其对扇贝排泄氮磷的吸收

研究了不同温度、光照条件下大型藻类龙须菜(Gracilaria lemaneiformis)的生长和光合作用特性,及其对扇贝排泄氮、磷的吸收作用。结果表明温度与龙须菜的生长和光合作用显著相关,在本实验条件下,15~25℃都适宜龙须菜生长,其中20℃龙须菜具有较高的生长率(SGR),为2·8%/d;光合作用速率随温度升高和光照的增加而升高,30℃和120μmol/(m2·s)时最高,最大光合作用速率(Pmax)为5·0mg O2/(g dw·h)。龙须菜对扇贝排泄氮、磷有较强的吸收作用,其吸收率和去除效率与放养密度和养殖时间有关。对NH4-N和PO4-P的最大去除效率分别为83·7%和70·4%,最大吸收率分别为9·9μmol/(g ww·h)和4·3μmol/(g ww·h)。实验证明龙须菜生长温度范围和光照范围适合中国北方海区养殖,并且能有效吸收和去除扇贝排泄氮、磷,可以作为生物滤器与贝类及其他养殖动物进行综合养殖。     

TLR7 modulating B-cell immune responses in the spleen of C57BL/6 mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum

B cells played an important role in Schistosoma infection-induced diseases. TLR7 is an intracellular member of the innate immune receptor. The role of TLR7 on B cells mediated immune response is still unclear. Here, C57BL/6 mice were percutaneously infected by S. japonicum for 5–6 weeks. The percentages and numbers of B cells increased in the infected mice (p < 0.05), and many activation and function associated molecules were also changed on B cells. More splenic cells of the infected mice expressed TLR7, and B cells were served as the main cell population. Moreover, a lower level of soluble egg antigen (SEA) specific antibody and less activation associated molecules were found on the surface of splenic B cells from S. japonicum infected TLR7 gene knockout (TLR7 KO) mice compared to infected wild type (WT) mice (p < 0.05). Additionally, SEA showed a little higher ability in inducing the activation of B cells from naive WT mice than TLR7 KO mice (p < 0.05). Finally, the effects of TLR7 on B cells are dependent on the activation of NF-κB p65. Altogether, TLR7 was found modulating the splenic B cell responses in S. japonicum infected C57BL/6 mice.     

Synthesis and structure–activity relationship studies of MI-2 analogues as MALT1 inhibitors

Recent studies revealed that MALT1 is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of ABC-DLBCL. Among several reported MALT1 inhibitors, MI-2 as an irreversible inhibitor represents a new class of ABC-DLBCL therapeutics. Due to its inherent potential cross-reactivity, further structure–activity relationship (SAR) study is imperative. In this work, five focused compound libraries based on the chemical structure of MI-2 are designed and synthesized. The systematic SARs revealed that the side chain of 2-methoxyethoxy has little impact on the activity and can be replaced by other functionalized groups, providing new MI-2 analogues with retained or enhanced potency. Compounds 81–83 with terminal hydroxyl group as side chain displayed enhanced activities against MALT1. Replacement of triazole core with pyrazole is also tolerant, while structural modifications on other sites are detrimental. These findings will facilitate further development of small-molecule MALT1 inhibitors.

肝再生增强因子（ALR）是一类胞源性肝细胞生长因子。为在毕赤酵母中分泌表达人肝再生增强因子（rhALR）,以色谱法分离纯化后进行体外活性研究,构建表达载体pPICZαA- ALR,经电穿孔转入毕赤酵母中,用0.5％甲醇诱导表达;重组酵母培养上清经SDS-PAGE电泳和western blot鉴定后表明, rhALR以分子量为30kD的二聚体为主;定量分析结果表明,重组酵母培养上清中rhALR约占总蛋白的66％,表达量约为40mg/L;经DEAE柱和G75柱纯化后,获得的rhALR纯度大于95％,得率为52％;体外生物学活性实验表明,rhALR能明显促进HepG2、SMMC-7721和NIH-3T3细胞的增殖。     

Importance of plant species and external silicon concentration to active silicon uptake and transport

Here, we characterized silicon (Si) uptake and xylem loading in Oryza sativa, Zea mays, Helianthus annuus and Benincase hispida in a series of hydroponic experiments. Both active and passive Si-uptake components co-exist in all the plants tested. The active component is the major mechanism responsible for Si uptake in O. sativa and Z. mays. By contrast, passive uptake prevails in H. annuus and B. hispida at a higher external Si concentration (0.85 mM), while the active component constantly exists and contributes to the total Si uptake, especially at a lower external Si concentration (0.085 mM). Short experiments showed that Si uptake was significantly suppressed in O. sativa and Z. mays by metabolic inhibitors or low temperature, regardless of external Si concentrations. By contrast, Si uptake in H. annuus and B. hispida was inhibited more significantly by metabolic inhibitors or low temperature at lower (for example, 0.085 mM) than at higher (for example, 1.70 mM) external Si concentrations. It can be concluded that both active and passive Si-uptake components co-exist in O. sativa, Z. mays, H. annuus and B. hispida, with their relative contribution being dependent much upon both plant species and external Si concentrations.     

上海市不同类型城市森林中小型土壤动物群落结构特征

于2014年4月(春季)、7月(夏季)、10月(秋季)和2015年1月(冬季)对上海市4种城市森林中小型土壤动物群落进行调查,共捕获土壤动物2190只,隶属于6门15纲22个类群,优势类群为线虫纲和蜱螨亚纲,分别占总密度的56.0%和21.8%,常见类群为线蚓科、轮虫纲、弹尾纲和膜翅目,共占总密度的18.7%.不同类型城市森林中小型土壤动物密度存在显著差异(P<0.05),其中,水杉林密度最高,香樟林最低;类群数以近自然林最高,水杉林最低.各林地中小型土壤动物群落结构具有明显的季节动态,整体表现为秋、冬季密度值较高,夏、秋季类群数较高.在垂直分布上,香樟林表聚程度最为突出,近自然林各层分布相对均匀.密度-类群指数(DG)大小顺序为近自然林(6.953)>香樟林(6.351)>悬铃木林(6.313)>水杉林(5.910),该指数可以较好地表征各林地的群落多样性.冗余分析(RDA)显示,土壤容重、土壤有机质、土壤总氮等是影响城市森林中小型土壤动物群落结构的主要环境因子,其中蜱螨亚纲和线蚓科与土壤有机质和总氮呈正相关,双翅目幼虫和轮虫纲与土壤含水量呈正相关.     

尼罗罗非鱼精子形成中核内囊泡的释放

通过透射电镜观察了尼罗罗非鱼的精子形成过程。尼罗罗非鱼精子细胞在成熟过程中,细胞核中出现由双层生物膜构成的囊泡。囊泡中均匀分布着电子密度低的物质。该囊泡逐渐从细胞核内排到细胞核外。在此过程中细胞核不但排出不参与染色质浓缩的物质,还将多余的核膜排出。进入袖套的囊泡可以留在精子的袖套中,而排到核前方和核侧面的囊泡继续以出芽的方式排出精子细胞。尼罗罗非鱼成熟精子的头部仅有染色质高度浓缩的细胞核。细胞核前
