别藻蓝蛋白藻蓝胆素发色团分子构象研究

主要研究了蓝绿藻污棕席藻(Phormidium luridum)别藻蓝蛋白在不同 pH值条件下的吸收光谱和共振拉曼光谱.发现低聚化的结果导致了三聚体别藻蓝蛋白 650nm 特征吸收峰的消失和一些共振拉曼带强度和位置的移动.结果表明在低 pH 值作用下的低聚化的别藻蓝蛋白中藻蓝胆素发色团分子的构象和自由胆素分子类似,比三聚体的别藻蓝蛋白的发色团分子更趋于卷曲,折叠的构象态.而三聚体的别藻蓝蛋白,主要的拉曼带 1645cm^-1是其发色团分子构象处于更线性延展的标志,其光谱行为和吸收光谱 A_vis/A_uv所表征的发色团分子构象的结果相一致.     

侧脑室注射促甲状腺激素释放激素对大鼠睡眠—觉醒的影响

采用多导睡眠描记术研究了例脑室注射促甲状腺激素释放激素(TRH)对正常大鼠和去甲状腺大鼠睡眠-觉醒的影响。在正常大鼠,TRH引起觉醒增加,浅慢波睡眠(SWS_1)、深慢波睡眠(SWS_2)和总睡眠时间(TST)均减少,异相睡眠(PS)消失,SWS_1、SWS_2和PS的潜伏期均显著延长,给药后立即产生效应并在1h内达高峰。去甲状腺对大鼠的睡眠-觉醒无明显影响,注射TRH后引起的效应与正常大鼠相似。结果提示TRH有促进大鼠觉醒的作用,对各睡眠时相均有抑制作用,其作用部位可能在下丘脑以外的中枢结构。     

Solid-phase microextraction and cuticular hydrocarbon differences related to reproductive activity in juniper bark borer Semanotus bifasciatus Motschulsky

Cuticular hydrocarbons of Cerambycidae species can function as signals for sex recognition. Little is known about the copulatory signals of the juniper bark borer Semanotus bifasciatus, a major economic threat to Platycladus orientalis Franco in China. Here, we investigated the cuticular hydrocarbons of both sexes of S. bifasciatus to determine the chemically mediated mating signals using the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technique with carbowax/divinylbenzene fibers (CAR/DVB) and then analyzed by coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A series of aliphatic saturated straight-chain n-alkanes (n-C₂₃ to n-C₂₈), internally branched monomethylalkanes at carbons 3, 11, or 13, and dimethylalkanes were identified, which showed no qualitative differences in either sex and were similar in the samples with SPME fiber extraction and those with hexane extraction. The bioassay showed that 11-methylpentacosane (11-MeC₂₅), 11-methylhexacosane (11-MeC₂₆), and 11-methylheptacosane (11-MeC₂₇) have sex-specific recognition functions that triggered more mating attempts at a female-specific ratio of 100:4:60 than at a male-specific ratio of 100:85:50. In addition, the female-specific ratio of 11-methylalkanes can elicit about 70% of male mating attempts within about 60 s, whereas live females elicit about 98% of male mating attempts within 25 s. The discrepancy in the initiation of mating attempts by synthetic mixtures and live females suggests that the methyl isomers 3-MeC₂₅, 3-MeC₂₇, and/or 11,15-diMeC₂₇ may also be involved in the mating behavior of S. bifasciatus. These results suggest that 11-MeC₂₅, 11-MeC₂₆, and 11-MeC₂₇ constitute the contact sex pheromone of S. bifasciatus, with the presence or absence of 11-MeC₂₆ in particular playing an important role in mate recognition by males.

不同育秧方式和插植密度下晚籼稻群体动态结构的研究

不同育秧方式和插植密度下晚籼稻群体动态结构存在差异。旱育秧群体分蘖速度快,分蘖能力强。稀植可促进个体分蘖多发、有效穗数增多,但旱育稀植并无分蘖早发的优势。旱育稀植使主茎基部叶片变短而上部叶片变长,生育后期叶面积消长平稳,地上部干物质积累较多。旱育秧、稀植都使主茎叶总数增多,全生育期延长。     

药物对病毒感染培养心肌细胞Ca~（2＋）内流及CVB_3－RNA复制的影响

应用放射性同位素￣（４５）Ｃａ￣（２＋）示踪技术及光敏生物素标记ｃＤＮＡ探针杂交方法,观察了维拉帕米、黄芪、地塞米松等药物对感染柯萨奇Ｂ＿３病毒（ＣＶＢ＿３）的大鼠培养心肌细胞Ｃａ￣（２＋）内流及细胞中ＣＶＢ＿３－ＲＮＡ复制的作用。结果发现：在病毒感染４８ｈ,上述三药均可显著减少感染细胞及正常对照的心肌Ｃａ￣（２＋）内流（Ｐ＜０．０１和Ｐ＜０．０５）;若在病毒感染后即加入上述药物,经４８ｈ培养后,黄芪组细胞中的ＣＶＢ＿３－ＲＮＡ含量显著少于病毒对照组（Ｐ＜０．００１）,维拉帕米则显著增加（Ｐ＜０．０１）．而地塞米松对其无影响。提示黄芪与地塞米松具有一种与维拉帕米相似的减少病毒感染心肌Ｃａ￣（２＋）内流的作用,有可能减轻感染细胞的继发性Ｃａ￣（２＋）损伤;但三种药物对感染细胞中病毒核酸的复制有不同作用,可作为临床治疗病毒性心肌炎时的参考。

Construction of an adenovirus type 7a E1A- vector.

A strategy for constructing replication-defective adenovirus vectors from non-subgroup C viruses has been successfully demonstrated with adenovirus type 7 strain a (Ad7a) as the prototype. An E1A-deleted Ad7a reporter virus expressing the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene from the cytomegalovirus promoter enhancer was constructed with DNA fragments isolated from Ad7a, an Ad7a recombination reporter plasmid, and the 293 cell line. The Ad7a-CAT virus particle transduces A549 cells as efficiently as Ad5-based vectors. Intravenous infections in a murine model indicate that the Ad7a-CAT virus infects a variety of tissues, with maximal levels of CAT gene expression found in the liver. The duration of Ad7a-CAT transgene expression in the liver was maximally maintained 2 weeks postinfection, with a decline to baseline activity by the week 4 postinfection. Ad7a-CAT represents the first example of a non-subgroup C E1A- adenovirus gene transfer vector.     

A greenhouse assay to screen sunflower for resistance to Alternaria helianthi

A greenhouse assay to screen sunflower for resistance to Alternaria helianthi is described. A comparison of conditions led to the following standard conditions being recommended. The first or second pair of leaves of seedling plants at the V8 growth stage are inoculated using inoculum grown on sunflower leaf extract agar for 5–10 days at an inoculum density of 1–2 spores cm² of leaf tissue. A 48 h dew period should be applied to plants covered by a plastic tent. A dew period temperature of 26/26°C night/day and a post-dew period temperature relative to that experienced under local growing conditions should be applied. Lesions are measured 7 days after inoculation, and mean lesion size per plant is calculated. Mean lesion size of lines being tested is expressed as a proportion of the mean lesion size of a susceptible standard included in each screening experiment.
