肿瘤坏死因子－α（TNF－α）对常见呼吸道病毒的抑制作用

用人重组肿瘤坏死因子－α（Ｔｕｍｏｒｎｅｃｒｏｓｉｓｆａｃｔｏｒ－α,ＴＮＦ－α）和人天然α干扰素（Ｉｎｔｅｒｆｅｒｏｎ－α－,ＩＦＮ－α）在人胚胎肺纤维母细胞（ＨＥＦ）和Ｈｅｐ－２细胞系上对常见呼吸道病毒所致细胞病变抑制进行比较观察。病毒包括不同型别的腺病毒５株,单疱病毒Ⅰ型（ＨＳＶ－Ｉ）１株,鼻病毒１株,仙台病毒１株,ＶＳＶ１株。结果提示ＴＮＦ－α和ＩＦＮ－α均具有广谱抗病毒活性。ＴＮＦ－α的抑毒作用能被ＴＮＦ－α申抗和ＩＦＮ－β单抗完全去除,被ＩＦＮ－α单抗部分去除ＴＮＦ－α的抗病毒效应。ＴＮＦ－－α中和试验的结果提示：ＴＮＦ抗病毒活性仍为ＩＦＮ－β诱生所介导。

Ultrastructure of the spermatozoa and eggs of the ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus L.), an internally fertilizing marine fish

Ultrastructure of sperm and eggs of the ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus L.), an internally fertilizing marine teleost, was examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the sperm do not have an acrosome but have a very long mid-piece (one to two times the sperm head length) containing numerous well-developed elongated mitochondria. The sperm also have two tails (is biflagellate) each consisting of nine peripheral and one central pair (9 ± 2) of microtubules. This long mid-piece and the biflagellate nature of the sperm appear to be associated with the long life-span of the sperm and with sperm dispersal in the ovary to fertilize the eggs internally. The ocean pout eggs are enveloped by a porous chorionic membrane similar to that found in other teleosts but have two micropyles, a condition likely related to a mechanism of egg fertilization which increases the egg fertlity in the presence of low sperm numbers. Following insemination, some biochemically undefined excretions appeared on the surface of fertilized eggs and led to the acquisition of adherent capability of the eggs which formed a tightly associated egg mass in sea water. © 1995 wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Evidence that 5-HT2 antagonism elicits a 5-HT3-mediated increase in dopamine transmission

Amperozide, a novel atypical antipsychotic drug with few extrapyramidal side effects, is a strong serotonin₂ (5-HT₂) antagonist but has low affinity for dopamine receptors in vitro. The effect of amperozide on the dopaminergic synapse was studied with an in vivo microdialysis technique using anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. Following implantation of dialysis probes into the striatum and nucleus accumbens (NuAc), amperozide was intravenously infused as six consecutive incremental doses (0.5, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 mg/kg) at intervals of 15 min. From the beginning of drug infusion, perfusates were collected in fractions every 30 min throughout a total period of 120 min. The samples were then immediately analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Amperozide induced a dose-related elevation of dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels in both areas.p-Chlorophenylalanine (pCPA) pretreatment abolished the production of 5-HIAA in both areas and attenuated the amperozide-induced rise of DOPAC but not of dopamine. After pretreatment with an intravenous 5-HT₃ antagonist, MDL 72222, the amperozide-induced changes in dopamine, DOPAC and 5-HIAA in both areas were lower than in the saline control group. Preliminary data showed that afterpCPA pretreatment, incremental concentrations of the 5-HT₃ agonist 1-(m-chlorophenyl)-biguanide perfused via the probe also produced significant elevation of dopamine and DOPAC levels in these two areas. Taken together, these results suggest that amperozide may directly block 5-HT₂ receptors in the striatum and NuAc, thereby enhancing 5-HT transmission. The enhanced 5-HT transmission may activate postsynpatic 5-HT₃ receptors located on the dopaminergic terminals, leading to changes in dopamine transmission in these two areas.     

The advantage of long-distance clonal spreading in highly disturbed habitats

Summary Classical theory states that cover of annual plants should increase relative to perennials as disturbance frequency increases. However, it has been suggested that long-distance clonal spreading can allow some perennial plants to survive in highly disturbed areas by quickly spreading into disturbed patches. To evaluate these hypotheses, we analysed data of plant distributions in two different ecosystems, a barrier island and a short-grass steppe. The disturbances studied were sand deposition during storms (overwash) on the barrier island and grazing by cattle in the short-grass steppe. In each case the disturbance frequency varied over the ecosystem; we categorized different areas in terms of their disturbance frequencies. All plant species in each area were categorized as one of four plant life forms (1) annual or biennial, (2) herbaceous perennial without long-distance clonal spreading (3) herbaceous perennial with long-distance clonal spreading (i.e guerilla form) and (4) woody plant. Percentage cover of each plant life form in each disturbance frequency category was calculated. In both ecosystems, (1) there was an increase in the relative cover of annuals as one moved from areas of low to moderate disturbance frequencies, but then a decrease in cover of annuals as one moved into the areas of highest disturbance frequency and (2) the guerilla forms showed the greatest relative increase in cover from moderately to highly disturbed areas. The combination of two factors can explain this pattern: (1) long-distance clonal spreading effectively reduces the time to colonization of recently disturbed sites and (2) effects of the disturbances in these two systems are probably more severe for seeds than for stems. We illustrate these effects using a spatially explicit simulation model of the population dynamics of plants in a disturbed landscape.
