Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci for the red panda,Ailurus fulgens

We report on the isolation and characterization of 10 microsatellites in the red panda Ailurus fulgens from genomic DNA‐enriched libraries. Twenty‐one microsatellites were screened from the libraries, and 10 of the screened microsatellites were polymorphic. The number of observed alleles for each locus in 24 individuals ranged from three to 12, and the expected and observed heterozygosity was 0.60–0.90 and 0.50–1.00, respectively. These markers should prove a useful tool for the study of genetic variation in red panda in the future.

A new acylated secoiridoidal glucoside, named gentiorigenoside A (1 ), was isolated from the root of Gentiana rigescens (Gentianaceae) , together with eight known compounds, gentiopicroside ( 2) , 6′- O-β- D-glucopyranosyl gentiopicroside (3) , loganic acid (4 ) , 6′- O-β- D-glucopyranosyl loganic acid ( 5), sweroside ( 6 ), 2′-( o, m-dihydoxybenzyl) -sweroside (7), swertiamarin (8) and secologanoside (9) . heir structures were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis. Iridoidal glucosides 3, 5 and 9 were isolated for the first time from the title plant.

鞘内联合给予米诺环素和IL-6的中和抗体对脊神经结扎模型所引起的热痛敏的镇痛作用

目的:研究鞘内联合给予米诺环素和IL-6的中和抗体在大鼠脊神经结扎(spinal nerve ligation,SNL)模型所引起的神经病理性痛中的镇痛作用.方法:建立大鼠SNL模型,分别在手术前和手术后鞘内给予米诺环素100 μg、在手术后鞘内给予IL-6的中和抗体0.03 μg、手术后鞘内联合给予两种药物,观察给药3天各组大鼠热刺激的缩足反应潜伏期(paw withdrawal latencies,PWL).结果:①SNL手术前后给予米诺环素都可以提高大鼠的PWL(P＜0.05),但SNL手术前给药对大鼠PWL的提升明显高于手术后给药(P＜0.05).②手术后给予IL-6的中和抗体可以有效提升SNL组的PWL(P＜0.05),但是还是比给予生理盐水的假手术组大鼠的PWL明显减少(P＜0.05).③手术后联合给予两种药物可以明显逆转SNL组的PWL(P＜0.05).④联合给药对大鼠PWL的提高明显高于SNL手术后给予米诺环素组和给予IL-6的中和抗体组(P＜0.05),但与手术前给予米诺环素组的PWL相比无明显差异(P＞0.05).结论:鞘内联合给予米诺环素和IL-6的中和抗体对SNL引起的神经病理性痛有明显的镇痛作用.     

Structure for energy cycle: a unique status of the second law of thermodynamics for living systems

Distinguishing things from beings, or matters from lives, is a fundamental question. Extending E. Schr?dinger's neg-entropy and I. Prigogine's dissipative structure, we propose a chemical kinetic view that the earliest "live" process is embedded essentially in a special interaction between a pair of specific components under a particular, corresponding environmental conditions. The interaction exists as an inter-molecular-force-bond complex(IMFBC) that couples two separate chemical processes: one is the spontaneous formation of the IMFBC driven by a decrease of Gibbs free energy as a dissipative process; while the other is the disassembly of the IMFBC driven thermodynamically by free energy input from the environment. The two chemical processes coupled by the IMFBC originated independently and were considered non-living on Earth, but the IMFBC coupling of the two can be considered as the earliest form of metabolism: the first landmark on the path from things to a being. The dynamic formation and disassembly of the IMFBC, as a composite individual, follows a principle designated as "… structure for energy for structure for energy…", the cycle continues; and for short it will be referred to as "structure for energy cycle". With additional features derived from this starting point, the IMFBC-centered "live" process spontaneously evolved into more complex living organisms with the characteristics currently known.     

重金属累积对泽兰实蝇幼虫生长发育和保护酶的影响

为了弄清重金属通过寄主植物紫茎泽兰累积后对专性寄生天敌泽兰实蝇的生理影响,采用模拟Cd~(2+)、Pb~(2+)或Zn~(2+)污染的土壤培养法胁迫紫茎泽兰,让泽兰实蝇低龄幼虫寄生取食,利用原子吸收分光光度法测定泽兰实蝇老熟幼虫中Cd~(2+)、Pb~(2+)或Zn~(2+)的含量,同时测定分析泽兰实蝇老熟幼虫的体长、鲜重、能量物质和保护酶的变化。结果表明,实验处理的Cd~(2+)、Pb~(2+)或Zn~(2+)均可通过紫茎泽兰传递并累积到泽兰实蝇老熟幼虫体内,引起老熟幼虫一系列生理变化:长度和鲜重降低;总糖、总蛋白和总脂的含量降低,相应的热量值也降低;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)等保护酶的活性降低。本研究为进一步阐明重金属污染对食物链各环节的影响提供了重要的理论依据。     

不同生境下荒漠植物红砂-珍珠猪毛菜混生根系的垂直分布规律

植物种间相互作用及其对环境胁迫的响应一直是物种共存和生物多样性维持研究的一个热点, 从地下根系入手来探讨混生群落植物种间关系及其对环境胁迫响应的研究少见报道。该文以荒漠草原区(灵武)、典型荒漠区(张掖)和极端荒漠区(酒泉) 3个不同生境条件下单生与混生红砂(Reaumuria soongarica)和珍珠猪毛菜(Salsola passerina)为实验材料, 采用分层取样法对其垂直根系参数进行测定和分析, 探讨了两种植物根系分布对混生及荒漠环境梯度的响应。结果表明: 同一生境条件下, 混生红砂和珍珠猪毛菜比根长和比表面积均高于单生, 说明红砂、珍珠猪毛菜混生后其根系相互作用关系表现为互惠, 促进了植株对土壤养分和水分的吸收。不同生境条件下, 同一生长方式的红砂根系分布深度均大于珍珠猪毛菜, 且根系消弱系数也普遍高于珍珠猪毛菜, 说明二者在不同生境条件下占据不同生态位, 红砂表现为深根性, 根系位于土壤深层, 珍珠猪毛菜表现为浅根性, 根系分布于土壤浅层。随着荒漠环境胁迫增强, 单生和混生红砂与珍珠猪毛菜的比根长和比表面积均呈现出极端荒漠区>典型荒漠区>草原荒漠区的规律, 且生境越干旱, 混生群落根系分离越明显; 单生与混生红砂根系消弱系数也逐渐增大, 在极端干旱区达到最大值, 珍珠猪毛菜变化不大, 表明红砂-珍珠猪毛菜混生群落根系生态位分离随荒漠环境胁迫增强而加大, 验证了环境胁迫梯度假说。可见“地上聚生, 地下分离”的混生方式可能是红砂-珍珠猪毛菜混生群落适应干旱胁迫环境的生长策略。

NGF 与Neuritin 在脑外伤伴四肢骨折病人血清中的表达及意义

目的:通过检测脑外伤患者、脑外伤合并骨折患者、骨折患者及正常人外周血中NGF,neuritin不同时间段的表达,根据其含量的变化,判断与骨折愈合速度的相关性,寻找骨折愈合的关键因子。方法:收集单纯脑外伤、单纯骨折患者各80例、脑外伤合并骨折患者60例、健康体检人群20例。选取外伤后3天、10天、2周抽取所有实验对象的静脉血,应用ELISA技术测定标本中NGF与Neuritin的含量。结果:损伤后每个时间段里,患者血清中NGF、neuritin含量有不同程度升高,均高于正常对照组,其中又以脑外伤合并骨折组最高。血清NGF在骨折合并脑外伤组伤后第3天含量明显升高,为(0.86±0.21),伤后10天为(1.47±0.29),14天为(2.0 7±0.21),脑外伤合并四肢骨折组neuritin血清含量在伤后第3天略有升高为(83.47±18.85),10天(108.50±31.65),2周(91.86±21.12).脑外伤合并骨折病人血清NGF、neuritin表达明显高于其他对照组,差别均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:脑外伤合并骨折病人血清NGF、neuritin表达明显高于其他对照组,说明与骨折愈合有着密切的相关性,两种因子可能在骨折愈合修复过程中共同起作用,从而,推测可能是脑外伤后骨折愈合加速的重要因素。
