基于能值的陆域受威胁和濒危物种价值估算——以福建省厦门市为例

开展受威胁和濒危物种价值评估是生物多样性研究的关键问题之一。当前受威胁和濒危物种研究正处于濒危等级界定和保护优先性确定阶段,存在不同保护等级交叉管理、价值评估方法欠缺及重复性计算等多方面问题。利用IUCN濒危等级和中国特有种等级名录确定厦门市不同濒危等级物种数,在此基础上利用能值转换率和修正的中国能值/货币比率对厦门市陆域受威胁和濒危物种价值进行估算。结果显示,通过多途径整理纳入估算的厦门市陆域野生动植物物种数为1444种,其中受威胁和濒危物种数为318种;2015年厦门市物种能值价值约为3.53×10~(11)元,2010年约为3.08×10~(11)元,其中两期受威胁和濒危物种能值价值均占物种总价值的88.31%;中国特有种等级对价值贡献最大达73.25%,其次是IUCN濒危等级达23.24%。研究表明,能值评估法能够客观凸显受威胁和濒危物种价值,研究结果可为生物多样性及物种保育的管理决策提供技术支撑。     

抗副溶血弧菌海洋真菌HL-3菌株的鉴定及其活性物质的分离

【背景】目前水产养殖中副溶血弧菌等水产致病菌的预防和治疗主要使用的是抗生素,短期内能够起到较好的效果,但是长期使用抗生素不仅使得病原菌的耐药性增加,而且会产生一系列问题。因此,寻找安全有效的抗生素替代品迫在眉睫。【目的】筛选具有抗副溶血弧菌活性的海洋微生物,鉴定其种类并优化其培养条件,并对其活性物质进行初步分离。【方法】利用稀释涂布平板法和平板划线法分离纯化海洋微生物,通过牛津杯法筛选具有抗副溶血弧菌活性的菌株。根据菌株的形态特征和ITS序列分析对活性菌株进行鉴定。通过筛选培养基种类和盐度确定其培养条件。通过半制备高效液相色谱制备化合物,并利用核磁共振波谱数据鉴定化合物的结构。【结果】从海螺、小黄鱼、对虾等11种样品中分离出海洋微生物菌株76株,其中真菌26株。筛选得到一株具有抗副溶血弧菌活性的真菌菌株HL-3,鉴定为黄曲霉。黄曲霉HL-3菌株在改良沙氏培养基条件下,产物化学多样性和抗菌活性较好。黄曲霉HL-3菌株在真菌5号培养基中产物单一且抗菌活性较好,纯化出来的化合物结构被鉴定为曲酸。曲酸对副溶血弧菌的最小抑菌浓度为4.0mg/mL。【结论】实验结果为进一步利用各种色谱手段分离纯化...     

代谢组学技术在微藻研究中的应用

代谢组学(metabolomics/metabonomics)是系统生物学的重要组成部分之一,主要通过分析生物体受环境刺激、病理生理或基因变异等因素引起的内源性小分子代谢物变化来研究其生理功能与代谢之间的关系,进而揭示代谢物变化背后的代谢调控机制与机理.代谢组学技术具有灵敏度高、选择范围广和分析速度快等特点,逐渐在微藻...     

千岛湖社鼠种群遗传现状及与生境面积的关系

以千岛湖地区13个岛屿上的社鼠(Niviventer confucianus)种群为研究对象,利用13个微卫星位点分析了13个社鼠种群的遗传现状,并探讨了种群遗传现状与岛屿面积大小之间的关系。研究结果显示,13个社鼠种群的平均观测等位基因数(Na)与平均有效等位基因数(Ne)分别为7.385,5.952,平均期望杂合度(He)与平均观测杂合度(Ho)分别为0.819,0.930,平均多态信息含量(PIC)为0.760,说明13个社鼠种群均具有较高的遗传多样性。13个种群间的分化系数(Fst)为0.053,表明种群间的遗传分化较小。3个面积较大且相近岛屿上社鼠种群,即高仙阁种群 (Gaoxiange Island,G);乌石T岛种群 (Wushi T Island,WT);东门岛种群 (Dongmen Island,DM)间的Fst值均小于0.05,表明种群间无分化,而小岛种群与大岛种群间的分化却比较明显。此外,一元回归结果显示,多态信息含量(PIC)和Shannon多样性指数(I)与岛屿面积大小之间均存在显著地正相关关系。以上结果说明,在社鼠种群进化过程中,生境面积的缩小可能使种群的遗传结构发生改变,并有可能导致种群的快速进化。     

Intravenous SRS-induced increases in tracheal mucous gel layer thickness: Evidence for thromboxane involvement

Intravenous (IV) slow reacting substance (SRS) challenge produces bronchoconstriction that can be reduced by cyclooxygenase inhibitors. This report shows that IV SRC challenge also produces significant increases in tracheal mucous gel thickness and that the increases are inhibited by pretreatment with indomethacin (4 mg/kg, PO) or imidazole (10 mg/kg, IV). The increase in gel thickness is preceded by increases in plasma thromboxane B₂ (TXB₂) levels and the inhibition of gel thickening by imidazole is paralleled by decreases in plasma TXB₂ levels. Aerosolized SRS produces increases in tracheal mucous gel thickness which are not inhibited by either indomethacin or imidazole, but are significantly inhibited by FPL-55712. These findings indicate that SRS acts, not only directly to stimulate mucous secretion but also indirectly through an indomethacin and imidazole sensitive mechanism.     

湖南省城市群生态网络构建与优化

大型生境斑块为区域生物多样性保护提供了重要的空间保障。然而,快速城市化使得大型生境斑块变得日益破碎化、岛屿化,连接性不断下降,且日益受到周边土地利用变化的强烈影响,已严重威胁着区域生物多样性的保护。通过生态廊道建立或修复破碎生境斑块之间的连接,将非常有利于生态网络生态服务功能的有效发挥。基于景观生态学和保护生物学的相关原理,以湖南省城市群为例,在RS和GIS技术的支撑下,采用最小费用路径和情景分析方法,定量模拟了研究区的潜在生态廊道,基于重力模型对重要生态廊道进行了识别与提取,并就消费面模型对潜在生态网络结果产生的影响进行了分析,在此基础上有针对性地提出了生态网络优化的对策。研究结果表明,林地和耕地是组成研究区生态网络的优势景观要素类型;不同生境斑块间的相互作用强度差异显著,总体上西高东低,南高北低;消费面模型能够在较大程度上影响到生态网络的分析结果,因而进行情景分析十分重要和必要。研究结果可为研究区生态网络的构建和优化提供科学依据,同时可为其他城市群区域生态网络的构建提供参考和借鉴。     

Studies on carbohydrates in reptiles

Summary Glucose was found to be present only in plasma of Uromastyx with an average value of 54.6 mg/100 cc. Values for blood sugar were slightly higher in females than in males.The maximum values for glucose in plasma were found to occur in July while a period of low blood glucose prevails during winter. During the period of sexual activity the values found for blood glucose are comparatively low, due to material needed for the formation of eggs and sperms.A decrease in blood glucose was observed in fasting animals. This decrease depends on the period of fasting.A relation between water content and glucose percentage of blood plasma, coelomic and pericardial fluids was obtained.     

Expression of CD45 lacking the catalytic protein tyrosine phosphatase domain modulates Lck phosphorylation and T cell activation

The function of the second protein tyrosine phosphatase domain (D2) in two-domain protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) is not well understood. In CD45, D2 can interact with the catalytic domain (D1) and stabilize its activity. Although D2 itself has no detectable catalytic activity, it can bind substrate and may influence the substrate specificity of CD45. To further explore the function of D2 in T cells, a full-length construct of CD45 lacking the D1 catalytic domain (CD45RABC-D2) was expressed in CD45+ and CD45- Jurkat T cells. In CD45- Jurkat T cells, CD45RABC-D2 associated with Lck but, unlike its active counterpart CD45RABC, did not restore the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation or CD69 expression upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. Expression of CD45RABC-D2 in CD45+ Jurkat T cells resulted in its association with Lck, increased the phosphorylation state of Lck, and reduced T cell activation. TCR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation was delayed, and although MAPK phosphorylation and CD69 expression were not significantly affected, the calcium signal and IL2 production were severely reduced. This indicates that the non-catalytic domains of CD45 can interact with Lck in T cells. CD45RABC-D2 acts as a dominant negative resulting in an increase in Lck phosphorylation and a preferential loss of the calcium signaling pathway, but not the MAPK pathway, upon TCR signaling. This finding suggests that, in addition to their established roles in the initiation of TCR signaling, CD45 and Lck may also influence the type of TCR signal generated.     

CRISPR/Cas9-edited Pax6-GFP reporter system facilitates the generation of mouse neural progenitor cells during differentiation

正Embryonic stem cells(ESCs)obtained from blastocysts can self-renew and potentially differentiate into three germ layers,thus acting as a promising platform in cell-replacement therapies and developmental research(Evans and Kaufman,1981;Thomson et al.,1998).Neural specification of ESCs has been extensively studied due to their superior value as a cellular resource in studying neurodegenerative diseases(Tao and
