图论在中国慈姑属数量分类研究中的应用

慈姑属(Sagittaria L.)是水生单子叶植物泽泻科(Alismataceae)的一个重要属。近年来,陈家宽等对中国慈姑属进行了系统研究。作者应用聚类分析和主成分分析进行了中国慈姑属的数量分类,取得了良好的效果。由于慈姑属分类性状数目较大,因而在压缩后的三维空间中描述分类群间的距离,     

下颌骨的性别判别分析研究

对183例国人成年下颌骨的统计检验表明,13项测量数据中有12项性别差异显著。其中下颌枝高性别差异最为明显,其单项性别判别率达80％。采用Fisher判别分析法建立了11项判定国人下颌骨性别的判别函数,判别率为85.2％—87.4％。     

用体外免疫法建立人—人抗流行性乙型脑炎病毒杂交瘤细胞株

利用单克隆抗体(McAb)进行病毒病的治疗是人们所关心的一个重大课题。 流行性乙型脑炎(乙脑)是一种严重威胁人民健康的急性传染病,病死率高,后遗症严重。国内外目前尚无特效疗法。陈伯权等用乙脑病毒皮下或腹腔感染3周龄小白鼠24、48小时及5天后,分别用乙脑病毒51-8McAb进行治疗,平均治愈率分别为78％、73％及22％。     

小鼠腹水型肝癌H22a细胞浆内磷蛋白磷酸酶活力调节的研究

小鼠腹水型肝癌细胞胞浆内磷蛋白磷酸酶对磷酸化的组蛋白、酪蛋白、鱼精蛋白具有脱磷酸化活力,而对小分子底物P-Ser、P-Thr、P-Tyr、PNPP等无活力。二价金属离子Mn~(2+)、Co~(2+)、Mg~(2+)对酶有明显激活作用,而Zn~(2+)、F~-、Pi对酶有明显抑制作用。代谢中间物G-6-P、G-1-P、F-6-P、F-1.6-2P、ATP、ADP、GTP对酶有抑制作用,而磷酸化氨基酸和环核苷酸对酶活影响很小。还试验了碱性蛋白质和酸性蛋白质对酶活力的影响,肝素和组蛋白均对酶活力有抑制作用,当两者混和后,其抑制作用会相互抵消。     

St14/TaqⅠRFLPs在甲型血友病基因探测与产前基因诊断中的应用

<正> 甲型血友病是最常见的遗传性凝血疾病,是由于凝血因子Ⅷ(FVⅢ)基因缺陷所致。目前对此病尚无满意的治疗方法。利用DNA分析技术进行甲型血友病基因检测与产前基因诊断对开展优生优育有重要的实际应用价值。由于FⅧ基因组织结构庞大,分子病理改变复杂,目前多采用DNA限制酶片段长度多态性(RFLPs)为遗传标志对有缺陷的FⅧ基因进行连锁分析。St 14(DXS52)是人X染色体长臂远端的一段基因外DNA序列,与FⅧ基因紧密连锁。国外已将St14/Taq Ⅰ RFLPs用于甲型血友病基因携带者的检测,但尚未见到用于产前基因诊断的报道。我们利用引进的St14片段为探针,采用简化的低脂奶粉杂交体系和DNA凝胶原     

Production of chimeric rabbits from morulae by a simple procedure

Experiments were conducted to develop a simple and reliable technique to produce chimeric rabbits from morula stage embryos. In Experiments 1 and 2, an in-vitro test of viability was initially performed by culturing embryos to the blastocyst stage. Ninety-three percent of the “chimeric” embryos developed to the blastocyst stage compared to 94% for controls when embryos were manipulated soon after collection (Exp. 1). Eighty-one percent chimeric embryos and 78% control embryos developed to blastocyst stage when embryos were held at room temperature for 4 hr (Exp. 2). In Experiment 3, enough morula-stage embryos were available from true breeding Dutch-belted and albino rabbits to form potentially 67 diverse “color” pairs. These micromanipulated pairs of morulae were successfully combined to produce 64 chimeric embryos (96%, 64/67). They were transferred to the uteri of seven recipient does and three became pregnant producing 13 young. Four of the young exhibited substantial overt chimerism (31%) and one more was a possible chimera.     

培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞合成的蛋白聚糖

以[~(35)S]-Na_2SO_4为示踪物,观察培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞(EC)合成及分泌的蛋白聚糖(PG),经DEAE-Sephacel离子交换及Sepharose6B凝胶滤柱层析分析发现细胞层及培养液均含有三种PG单体,即硫酸乙酰肝素蛋白聚糖(HS-PG)、硫酸软骨素蛋白聚糖(CS-PG)及硫酸皮肤素蛋白聚糖(DS-PG)HS-PG又可分为大小两种,前者(HS-PG_L)位于V_o处,后者(HS-PG_s)Kd=0.53(sepharose6B);CS-PG/DS-PG分为三个峰,峰Ⅰ位于V_0处,峰Ⅱ、峰Ⅲ的Kd值分别为0.26及0.52(sepharose6B)。汇合前后细胞层及培养液中各种PG的含量不同。细胞层PG总量汇合前低于汇合后,无论是细胞层还是培养液汇合前HS-PG_L均低于汇合后,HS-PG_L与HS-PG_s比值亦为汇合前低于汇合后,而CS-PG/DS-PG含量则高于汇合后。汇合前后EC合成及分泌PG的差异与文献报道的EC损伤及正常者类似。     

固定化酶的微环境效应—载体离子基团性质的影响

作者合成了阴离子型和阳离子型葡聚糖,以此为载体,用CNBr活化其剩余羟基,固定化了葡萄糖淀粉酶和葡萄糖异构酶。就离子型载体对固定化酶的蛋白载量、最适pH和热稳定性等的影响做了考察。发现固定化酶的蛋白载量不仅与载体的电性质有关,也与酶分子自身的电性质有关。当载体电性质与酶蛋白电性质相反时,固定化酶的蛋白载量增加,热稳定性提高、载体电性质与酶蛋白电性质相同时,固定化酶的蛋白载量不变或下降,其热稳定性不变。作者还发现当离子型载体孔度和体系缓冲液浓度一定时,酶分子能否进入多孔性载体内部,对其最适pH是否变化影响极大。若酶分子仅被连接在载体的外表层,其最适pH不发生变化,反之亦然。作者还观察到当多糖类载体引入氨基或羧基后,大大增强了其抵抗微生物侵蚀的能力。     

Role of the N-terminal region of the a chain in β1-bungarotoxin from the venom ofBungarus multicinctus (Taiwan-banded krait)

The N-terminal α-amino groups of β₁-bungarotoxin (β₁-Bgt) fromBungarus multicinctus venom were modified with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and the modified derivative was separated by high performance liquid chromatography. The trinitrophenylated (TNP) derivative contained two TNP groups at the α-amino groups of A chain and B chain and showed a marked decrease in enzymatic activity. Methionine residues at positions 6 and 8 of the A chain were oxidized with chloramine T or cleaved with cyanogen bromide to remove the N-terminal octapeptide. Oxidation of methionine residues and removal of the N-terminal octapeptide caused a precipitous decrease in enzymatic activity, whereas antigenicity remained unchanged. The presence of dihexanoyllecithin influenced the interaction between β₁-Bgt and 8-antilinonaphthalene sulfonate (ANS) and revealed that β₁-Bgt consists of two types of ANS-binding sites, one at the substrate binding site of the A chain and the other might be at the B chain. The modified derivatives still retained their affinity for Ca²⁺ and ANS, indicating that the N-terminal region is not involved in Ca²⁺ and substrate binding. A fluorescence study revealed that the α-amino group of the A chain was in the vicinity of substrate binding site and that the TNP α-amino groups were in proximity to Trp-19 of the A chain. In addition, the study showed that the N-terminal region is important for stabilizing the architectural environment of Trp-19. The results, together with the proposal that Trp-19 of the A chain is involved in substrate binding, suggest that the N-terminal region of the A chain plays a crucial role in maintaining a functional active site for β₁-Bgt.     

东南亚和云南爬行动物区系的一致性及其起源和演化

云南与川、黔、贵等邻近省区都属于东南亚的一部分。依据爬行动物分布范围广的特点,把云南爬行动物区系起源和演化与东南亚甚至南亚的爬行动物作为一个整体进行研究,可能为解决东南亚及云南爬行动物某些类群的起源这一共同性问题,提供一些有用的资料。 本文将印度半岛、东南亚及其邻近岛屿现生爬行动物与世界范围的相同科级阶元的分布进行比较,并以古地质、古地理演变资料推论科级阶元同祖先起源地的大致范围。在此基础上,再将印度半岛、中南半岛和邻近岛屿,云南高原及邻近地区爬行动物的科属种进行比较,以探讨地区间差异的规律性。运用新构造运动和古气候变化观点阐明其物种或类群的迁移规律及其变化原因。
