不同覆盖方式对底泥内源营养盐释放的控制效果

通过底泥内源营养盐释放控制室内模拟试验,考察了塑料包被、斜发沸石、方解石、石英砂和硝酸钙5种覆盖材料对底泥氮磷释放效率的影响,系统分析了各自优劣程度,为实际环境中不同污染背景水体选择适宜的控制技术提供科学依据.结果表明: 不同覆盖材料对底泥总磷释放的控制效果依次为:塑料包被>硝酸钙>斜发沸石>方解石>石英砂;不同覆盖材料对底泥总氮释放的控制效果依次为:斜发沸石>塑料包被>方解石>石英砂>硝酸钙;不同覆盖材料对底泥硝态氮释放的控制效果依次为:塑料包被>斜发沸石>方解石>石英砂>硝酸钙;不同覆盖材料对底泥铵态氮释放的控制效果依次为:硝酸钙>石英砂>斜发沸石>方解石>塑料包被;温度和底泥内源营养盐释放有对应关系,水样中总磷、总氮和硝态氮浓度会随着温度上升而增加,而铵态氮浓度呈下降趋势.     

Induction of Apoptosis after Expression of PYK2, a Tyrosine Kinase Structurally Related to Focal Adhesion Kinase

Many cells (e.g., epithelial cells) require attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM) to survive, a phenomenon known as anchorage-dependent cell survival. Disruption of the cell–ECM interactions mediated by the integrin receptors results in apoptosis. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a 125-kD protein tyrosine kinase activated by integrin engagement, appears to be involved in mediating cell attachment and survival. Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2), also known as cellular adhesion kinase β (CAKβ) and related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase, is a second member of the FAK subfamily and is activated by an increase in intracellular calcium levels, or treatment with TNFα and UV light. However, the function of PYK2 remains largely unknown. In this study, we show that over-expression of PYK2, but not FAK, in rat and mouse fibroblasts leads to apoptotic cell death. Using a series of deletion mutants and chimeric fusion proteins of PYK2/FAK, we determined that the NH₂-terminal domain and tyrosine kinase activity of PYK2 were required for the efficient induction of apoptosis. Furthermore, the apoptosis mediated by PYK2 could be suppressed by over-expressing catalytically active v-Src, c-Src, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, or Akt/protein kinase B. In addition, it could also be suppressed by overexpressing an ICE or ICE-like proteinase inhibitor, crmA, but not Bcl2. Collectively, our results suggest that PYK2 and FAK, albeit highly homologous in primary structure, appear to have different functions; FAK is required for cell survival, whereas PYK2 induces apoptosis in fibroblasts.     

聚-ε-赖氨酸高产菌株的筛选及其发酵工艺的初步研究

利用亚甲基蓝平板初筛、摇瓶复筛,从土壤中筛选了一株聚-ε-赖氨酸(ε-PL)高产菌株,ε-PL摇瓶产量大于2g/L,经初步鉴定该菌株为白色链霉菌(Streptomyces albulus)。对该菌株发酵生产ε-PL的培养基成分进行初步研究表明:葡萄糖是最好的碳源,酵母粉和硫酸铵是最佳的复合氮源,在优化培养基下,ε-PL摇瓶产量达到3.9g/L。

初步确定了2个新的猪产仔数分子标记,雌激素受体基因ESR的第8外显子处的ESRB位点、催乳素受体基因的第7外显子的FSHRB位点。通过比较和分析多个产仔数的效应,初步确定了4个有利于产仔数提高的分子标记基因型,基因位点ESR、FSHRB的基因型BB的产仔数显著地高于AB、AA型;位点ESRB、PRLR的基因型AA的产仔数显著地高于AB、BB型;4个基因位点多态性与仔猪生长性能、母猪乳头数不存在显著的影响。     

苏云金杆菌毒素调控基因plcR的特性与表达

根据蜡状芽胞杆菌plcR基因和papR基因序列设计特异引物,对6个Bt菌株（WB1、WB7、WB9、HD98、8010、8311）及5个Bc菌株（6A1、6A2、6A3、6A4、6S1）进行了PCR检测.结果显示,3个Bt菌株及4个Bc菌株含有plcR-papR基因.克隆了Bt8010、Bc6A2和6A3的plcR、papR基因,核苷酸序列分析表明,三个菌株的plcR、papR基因与NCBI数据库中的Bt、Bc及Ba相应序列都有很高的相似性.Bt8010的plcR基因编码框由846个核苷酸组成,可编码282个氨基酸;papR基因的编码框由144个核苷酸组成,可编码48个氨基酸.推导的氨基酸序列分析表明,Bt8010 的PapR有21个氨基酸的信号肽序列,PlcR没有信号肽序列.与Bc6A2、6A3和Bc 569相比,Bt8010 的PlcR和PapR在氨基酸序列上与Bc 相应序列存在相对较大的差异.将plcR-papR基因连接到表达载体pHT304中,并转化至大肠杆菌JM109中成功进行了表达,为研究Bt plcR基因的功能奠定了基础.

组胺对大鼠小脑皮层浦肯野细胞的兴奋作用

在离体大鼠小脑脑片上观察了组胺对小脑皮层第Ⅹ小叶浦肯野细胞的作用。组胺（３～１００μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）主要引起浦肯野细胞的兴奋反应（９４４％,５１／５４）,在少数细胞上也观察到组胺所引起的放电抑制现象（５６％,３／５４）。用低Ｃａ２＋／高Ｍｇ２＋人工脑脊液灌流脑片,不能取消浦肯野细胞对组胺的兴奋反应（ｎ＝４）。Ｈ２受体对抗剂ｒａｎｉｔｉｄｉｎｅ（０１～５μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）能够阻断浦肯野细胞对组胺的兴奋反应（ｎ＝２０）,而Ｈ１受体对抗剂ｔｒｉｐｒｏｌｉｄｉｎｅ（０５～５μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）不能够（ｎ＝９）或仅轻微地（ｎ＝４）阻断浦肯野细胞对组胺的兴奋反应。这些结果提示,组胺可能主要通过Ｈ２受体的介导对浦肯野细胞起兴奋性调节作用,下丘脑小脑组胺能神经通路可能参与了小脑的某些躯体的和非躯体的功能调节。
