Hypoxia-induced inhibition of converting enzyme activity: role in vascular regulation

Systemic and pulmonary vascular reactivity to graded doses of angiotensin I (ANG I), angiotensin II (ANG II), and, as a control, phenylephrine were examined in 14- or 28-day hypoxia-exposed and air control rats. Hypoxic rats exhibited pulmonary hypertension that was reversible on return to room air, but systemic arterial pressure was not altered by hypoxia. Systemic pressor responses to ANG I and ANG II were significantly less in the hypoxic rats than in the control rats at 14 and 28 days but returned to control levels in hypoxic animals that were then returned to room air, demonstrating reversibility of the hypoxia-induced changes in vascular reactivity. Pulmonary pressor responses to ANG I were significantly less at 14 days, whereas responses to ANG II were significantly greater at 28 days, in hypoxic rats than in controls. There were no significant differences in systemic and pulmonary pressor responses to phenylephrine between the hypoxic and air control animals. The altered systemic and pulmonary pressor responsiveness to ANG I and ANG II in hypoxic rats is probably related to mechanisms specific to the renin-angiotensin system, such as inhibition of intrapulmonary angiotensin-converting enzyme activity and down regulation of ANG II receptors in the systemic circulation. Further study is needed to elucidate these mechanisms.     

Escherichia coli gal K和gpt基因注入小鼠受精卵的研究

含有E.coli galK和gpt基因的重组DNA pPB22用显微注射法导入昆明白小鼠受精卵,经发育,最后得到21只成年小鼠。其中1只小鼠的肝脏显示出E.coli gpt酶活性,但未检测出E.coli galK酶活性。印迹分子杂交表明,外源的pPB 22重组DNA已整合到2只小鼠的染色体上,其中包括那只肝脏中显示E.coli gpt酶活性的小鼠。     

抗菌免疫核糖核酸组份的分离及其活性测定

<正> 抗菌免疫核糖核酸(iRNA)已用于条件致病菌感染的临床治疗,并对其免疫活性做了全面的研究。现已证实iRNA能够诱导特异性抗体的产生和传递特异性的细胞免疫,并能诱生干扰素和白细胞间素Ⅰ、Ⅱ等淋巴因子和单核因子。但制备的iRNA是含有多种RNA种类的混合物,为明确各组份的免疫学功能,我们对iRNA进行了分离,并测定不同组份的免疫活性。     

微核形成与细胞周期关系的初步研究 Ⅲ.丝裂霉素c诱发人淋巴细胞染色体畸变与不同周期阶段的微核形成

为了研究染色体畸变与微核形成的关系,本实验用不同浓度的丝裂霉素C(MMC,0.025—0.4μg/ml),处理人外周血淋巴细胞,观察中期染色体畸变与不同细胞周期形成的微核间的关系。获得如下主要结果:(1)MMC诱发的染色体畸变细胞率(ACF),未经培养的G_0期淋巴细胞的微核细胞率(NC-MNCF)以及培养的淋巴细胞的微核细胞率(C-MNCF),在一定剂量范围内均呈剂量依赖性增加,并可用幂回归方程描述;(2)微核形成与染色体畸变全然无关的NC-MNCF,和C-MNCF一样,与ACF呈良好的正相关;(3)用胞质分裂阻滞(CB)法,检测MMC诱发的CB-MNCF,较C-MNCF无显著提高,MNCF/ACF的比值较小,并随着MMC剂量增加从0.15左右降到0.03。所有上述结果表明,不能简单理解微核形成与染色体畸变间的关系,在分裂的细胞群体中,中期染色体畸变可能仅是微核形成的一种来源。     

The regulation of amyloid beta protein precursor secretion and its modulatory role in cell adhesion

The regulation and function of two forms of the amyloid beta protein precursor (ABPP) that are released into the growth-conditioned medium of the PC12 nerve cell line were examined. Nerve growth factor increases the release of the form of ABPP without the protease-inhibitor domain relative to the protein containing the protease inhibitor and increases the overall rate of ABPP secretion 2-fold. In contrast, fibroblast growth factor increases the rate of ABPP secretion approximately 7-fold. Both forms of the secreted ABPP molecule are, in turn, able to stimulate adhesion of PC12 cells to substrata to which they are adsorbed about 10-fold more efficiently on a molar basis than Iaminin.     

中枢多巴胺神经元放电活动的特点

中脑黑质和腹侧被盖区DA神经元自发放电活动的特点表现在:动作电位时程较宽(2～5ms),伴有上升相切迹;放电频率较慢(1～10spikes/s);有单放电(single firing)和爆发性放电(burst firing)两种型式,前者动作电位幅度无显著改变,后者动作电位幅度逐个减低,时程逐个加宽,并且动作电位间隔逐渐延长。DA受体激动剂或D_2亚型选择性激动剂抑制DA神经元放电活动,它能被DA受体拮抗剂所逆转。     

Transfer of IncP Plasmids to Extremely Acidophilic Thiobacillus thiooxidans

The broad-host-range IncP plasmids RP4, R68.45, RP1::Tn501, and and pUB307 were transferred directly to extremely acidophilic Thiobacillus thiooxidans from Escherichia coli by conjugation at frequencies of 10^-5 to 10^-7 per recipient. The ability of T. thiooxidans to receive and express the antibiotic resistance markers was examined. The plasmid RP4 was transferred back to E. coli from T. thiooxidans at a frequency of 1.0 × 10^-3 per recipient.     

Increased shikonin production inLithospermum erythrorhizon suspension cultures within situ extraction and fungal cell treatment (elicitor)

Summary The effect ofin situ extraction and elicitor treatment on shikonin production was studied with the suspension cultures ofLithospermum erythrorhizon. Shikonin concentration of 60 mg/L was achieved by the use of both techniques which was 24 times higher than that of control culture, and 65 times higher in terms of shikonin productivity. The host-pathogen effect of elicitor treatment andin situ extraction for product removal were effective for shikonin production.
