濒危植物秦岭冷杉结实特性的研究

秦岭冷杉 (Abieschensiensis) 是松科冷杉属常绿乔木, 为我国特有珍稀濒危植物。该文在秦岭冷杉分布最为集中的秦岭地区分高、低 2个海拔高度采集当年球果和种子, 通过野外观察、室内实验和对比分析, 研究秦岭冷杉的结实特征以及球果和种子的基本性状, 并探讨这些特征在不同海拔高度的差异。结果表明, 与冷杉属其它树种相比, 秦岭冷杉球果和种子较大、单果种子数较多, 但空粒多、饱满度低。自然状况下饱满度为 12.0 %, 人工目视分选后饱满度 2 1.6 %, 风选后可达到 38.1%, 其余种子大部分为空粒、涩粒, 有少量虫粒。随海拔高度增加, 秦岭冷杉天然群体成龄个体中结实母树比例降低, 结实量减少。秦岭冷杉总体结实母树比例为 5 5 %, 低海拔处结实母树比例较高, 为 76 %, 高海拔结实母树比例为 34%。秦岭冷杉单株母树的平均结实量为 113个, 结实量小于 10 0个的母树占 6 4.5 %, 其中 5 0 %的母树结实量在 5 0~ 10 0个, 结实量在 10 0~ 2 0 0个的占 16.1%, 2 0 0个以上的占 19.4 %。 2 0 0个以上球果的个体均生长在低海拔区间, 高海拔处结实量多在 10 0个以下。方差分析表明, 两个海拔高度间球果和种子特征差异是显著的, 绝大部分球果和种子性状指标的平均值在低海拔处大于高海拔处。因此, 从结实特性以及球果和种子的特征来看, 低海拔处秦岭冷杉生殖生长好于高海拔处。

Effect of arginine on angiogenesis induced by human colon cancer: in vitro and in vivo studies

This study investigated the effect of arginine (Arg) supplementation on angiogenesis in human colon cancer. The in vitro study investigated the effects of different Arg levels and inducible nitric oxide (iNO) synthase inhibitor on angiogenic protein expressions stimulated by SW480 cells. The results showed that the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor with 100 and 1000 μmol/L Arg and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 with 1000 μmol/L Arg was lower than that with 0 and 50 μmol/L Arg. Inhibition of iNO resulted in higher angiogenic protein expressions comparable with groups with low Arg administration, indicating that Arg administration at levels similar to or higher than physiological concentrations reduced the progression of colon cancer, and iNO may partly play a role in reducing angiogenesis. The in vivo study used a human colon cancer xenograft model in nude mice. Mice were inoculated with 1×10⁷ SW480 cells and assigned to two groups. The control group was fed a semipurified diet, while the experimental group was supplied an Arg-supplemented diet. After 5 weeks, tumors were harvested and spleens were excised for further analysis. Results showed that the MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF receptor levels in tumors were significantly lower, whereas tumor NO levels and spleen natural killer (NK) cell activities were higher in the Arg group than in the control group. These results were consistent with the in vitro study that dietary Arg supplementation inhibits the progression of colon cancer possibly by increasing NO secretion and consequently enhancing NK cell activity.     

脓毒症诊断与预后的血清学标志物研究进展

脓毒症可引起患者的多器官功能衰竭,从而导致严重烧伤、手术后、孕产妇、重症监护病房和新生儿监护病房的患者死亡。缺乏脓毒症急性相反应的患者病死率更高。寻找快速、简洁、敏感性和特异性高的脓毒症实验室诊断指标,已成为临床实验室长期以来的研究课题。     

LIF upregulates expression of NK-1R in NHBE cells

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a cytokine at the interface between neurobiology and immunology, is mainly mediated through JAK/STAT pathway and MAPK/ERK pathway. Evidence suggested LIF is related to the higher expression of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) in asthma. In this study, the immunohistochemistry stain showed the expressions of NK-1R, LIF, p-STAT3, and p-ERK1/2 in the lung tissues of allergic rats were increased compared with the controls, and the main positive cell type was airway epithelial cell. Normal human bronchial epithelial cells were treated with LIF in the presence or absence of AG490 (JAK2 inhibitor), PD98059 (MEK inhibitor), and the siRNA against STAT3. Western blot and RT-PCR indicated that LIF induced the expression of NK-1R, which was inhibited by the inhibitors mentioned above. No significant interaction was found between JAK/STAT pathway and MAPK/ERK pathway. In summary, bronchial epithelial cell changes in asthma are induced by LIF which promotes the expression of NK-1R, and JAK/STAT pathway and MAPK/ERK pathway may participate in this process.

甘蔗螟虫趋光性研究

甘蔗螟虫具有趋光性,但不同种及性别之间对特定波长光的趋性差异没有详细研究。本文研究3种甘蔗螟虫的雌雄成虫对不同波长光波的行为反应,为该类害虫的灯诱防控应用提供参考依据。试验结果显示,条螟趋光率最高的3个波长为340 nm、460 nm、498 nm,趋光率分别为23.1%、18.2%、18.1%;二点螟趋光率最高的 4个 波长为498 nm、520 nm、380 nm、420 nm,趋光率分别为21.7%、17.2%、15.3%、13.2%;黄螟对各检测光源表现弱的趋光性,趋光率最高为9.2%（光波长582 nm）。3种螟虫不同日龄趋光性有强弱的差异,以3 d 趋光性最强,其次是1 d ,最后是5 d 。条螟、二点螟雌雄蛾趋光率有差异,雄蛾高于雌蛾;交配行为会降低螟蛾趋光率,条螟雄蛾交配前后降幅高达16.6%,已交配的条螟雌蛾则失去趋光反应;二点螟雄蛾交配前后降幅最高达21.7%,已交配的二点螟雌蛾趋光率也一样有较大幅下降,未交配的雌蛾与已交配的雌蛾同一波长的趋光率差异显著。条螟和二点螟主要趋光波长较接近,波段有较好的交集,诱虫灯的开发可以选择这2种虫趋光率较高的几个光波长研究。
