中国家猪高分辨G—带及模式图

采用氨甲喋呤或胸苷阻断法使细胞分裂同步化,并结合胰酶G-带技术,对中国7个家猪品种高分辨G-带进行了研究,发现家猪品种间带型基本一致,从而参照人类细胞遗传学命名法的国际体制,提出了中国家猪高分辨G-带标准化核型及模式图,对显带核型界标进行了少许修改,对每对染色体进行了区带划分和描述。单倍染色体组所显示的G-带数目,包括X和Y染色体,巳达444条,近于中期染色体带纹数目的两倍。     

Pulmonary surfactant will secure free airflow through a narrow tube

Well functioning pulmonary surfactant is necessary to ensure alveolar stability. It is proposed that surfactant is also required to keep the finest cylindrical airways open, thereby securing an unrestricted flow of air to and from the alveoli. If the surfactant is inadequate in quality or quality there is a risk that liquid will accumulate in the most marrow section of the airway and form a blocking column. To study that possibility special glass capillaries were used. The glass capillaries were heated and extended to make a short section very narrow. In the lumen of that section a minute volume (1 microliter) of liquid was deposited, which formed a blocking column. When pressure was raised on one side of the column, it forced the liquid to move away from the narrow section. Pressure dropped to zero as air could pass, and if the liquid column consisted of calf lung surfactant extract (CLSE), pressure remained at zero because a new liquid column did not form. If, on the other hand, the liquid column consisted of saline solution it would repeatedly reform as soon as it had been pressed out of the capillary's narrow section. The same occurred if the CLSE suspension forming the liquid column was very dilute or contained inhibiting proteins. These observations did not require that the capillary consisted of the material glass; they were also noted when the narrow tube was outlined by epithelium.     

Pulmonary hemodynamic reaction to foreign blood in goats and rabbits.

We have found that the goat is extraordinarily sensitive to very small quantities of rabbit or rat blood. As little as 0.004 ml/kg induces transient pulmonary hypertension [maximal rise in pulmonary arterial pressure 32 +/- 10 (SD) cmH2O] in goats. We hypothesized that this reaction may be related to the presence of the resident population of intravascular macrophages that reside in the pulmonary capillaries of goats. If that is so, then rabbits or rats, which have few or no intravascular macrophages, should not be reactive to foreign blood. We compared pulmonary hemodynamics and changes in blood thromboxane B2 concentrations among goats, rabbits, and rats in response to graded doses of foreign blood. The pulmonary reaction to foreign blood was much greater in goats than in rabbits or rats, even though we injected up to 10- or 60-fold larger amounts into the latter species. In goats the pulmonary vascular pressure response to rabbit blood was dose dependent in goats and correlated well with changes in systemic arterial thromboxane B2 concentrations [change in pulmonary arterial pressure = 0.07 (thromboxane B2) + 8.3, r = 0.79]. We also tested the prostaglandin H2 endoperoxide analogue (U-46619) and found that the goats are somewhat more reactive than rabbits. We conclude that the pulmonary hemodynamic reaction to foreign blood is consistent with the concept that the foreign erythrocytes are reacting with the pulmonary intravascular macrophages in goats. The lower reactivity of the rabbit pulmonary circulation to thromboxane may also have a role.

关于苔藓植物染色体研究方法的探讨

目前我国在苔藓植物染色体方面的研究工作尚属空白,其难度也较种子植物要大。作者通过参阅闰外文献,并对数十种不同类型的苔藓植物进行了实验摸索。本文较全面地介绍了包括取材(即孢蒴、茎尖、生长点等)、固定、染色和压片等成功的方法技术问题,以期更多的学者开展该领域的研究工作,促进我国在苔藓植物染色体方面的研究工作。     

大麦条纹花叶病毒新疆株(BSMV-XJ)RNA_2的cDNA克隆及5′端序列分析

分离了大麦条纹花叶病毒(BSMV)新疆株基因组的3个RNA组份。以RNA2为模板,3′端互补寡核苷酸为引物,合成了第一条cDNA链和第二条cDNA链,将ds-cDNA重组在pUC9质粒中,转化大肠杆菌细胞,获得含RNA3′端的克隆,并证明所选克隆的cDNA含有新疆株几近全长的RNA2组份。对于插入片段为3.3kbp的112号克隆进行了酶谱分析,得到了与国外典型株类似的结果;用双脱氧终止法分析了相当于RNA 2 5′端250bp的cDNA酶切片段,表明与国外典型株有十分相似的一级结构。
