抗旱性不同的两个大豆品种对外源H_2O_2的响应

两个品种的大豆叶圆片经１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ和１０－３ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２处理１２ｈ后,超氧物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）、过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）与谷胱甘肽还原酶（ＧＲ）活性明显增加,但１０－２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２处理却使这些酶活性降低。抗旱性较强的大豆品种小粒豆１号较抗旱性较弱的鲁豆４号能维持较高的叶绿素含量和较高的ＳＯＤ、ＣＡＴ及ＧＲ活性,对Ｈ２Ｏ２的抗性较强。５０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的亚胺环已酮（ＣＨＭ）能消除Ｈ２Ｏ２对ＳＯＤ、ＣＡＴ与ＧＲ活性的刺激作用,而同样浓度的放线菌素Ｄ（ＡＭＤ）则不能。

Glutamate-induced swelling of cultured astrocytes is mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptor

The effects of glutamate and its agonists and antagonists on the swelling of cultured astrocytes were studied. Swelling of astrocytes was measured by [3H]-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake. Glutamate at 0.5, 1 and 10mmol/L and irons-l-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (trans-ACPD), a metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist, at 1 mmol/L caused a significant increase in astrocytic volume, whereas alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole proprionic acid (AMPA) was not effective. L-2-amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (L-AP3), an antagonist of mGluR, blocked the astrocytic swelling induced by trans-ACPD or glutamate. In Ca2+-free condition, glutamate was no longer effective. Swelling of astrocytes induced by glutamate was not blocked by CdCl2 at 20 μmol/L, but significantly reduced by CdCl2 at 300 μmol/L and dantrolene at 30 μmol/L. These findings indicate that mGluR activation results in astrocytic swelling and both extracellular calcium and internal calcium stores play important roles in the genes     

中国尖音库蚊复合组杂交的研究

本文对分布在我国的尖音库蚊复合组的尖音库蚊,致倦库蚊和淡色库蚊进行杂交研究,结果表明致倦库蚊与尖音库蚊及淡色库蚊以及两者尖交可以产生能育的Ｆ１代,它们之间没有传统意义上的生殖隔离,致倦库蚊应为尖音库蚊是的一个亚种,而不是如国外有些学者认为的独立种,另外,杂种Ｆ２代成活率很低,这有可能是尖音库蚊（广义）种下分化在遗传学上的反映。

PCR-based gene targeting of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) locus in murine ES cells,a new and more cost-effective approach

Gene targeting by double homologous recombination in murine embryonic stem (ES) cells is a powerful tool used to study the cellular consequences of specific genetic mutations. A typical targeting construct consists of a neomycin phosphotransferase (neo) gene flanked by genomic DNA fragments that are homologous to sequences in the target chromosomal locus. Homologous DNA fragments are typically cloned from a murine genomic DNA library. Here we describe an alternative approach whereby the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) gene locus is partially mapped and homologous DNA sequences obtained using a long-range PCR method. A 7 kb NOS2 amplicon is used to construct a targeting vector where theneo gene is flanked by PCR-derived homologous DNA sequences. The vector also includes a thymidine kinase (tk) negative-selectable marker gene. Following transfection into ES cells, the PCR-based targeting vector undergoes efficient homologous recombination into the NOS2 locus. Thus, PCR-based gene targeting can be a valuable alternative to the conventional cloning approach. It expedites the acquisition of homologous genomic DNA sequences and simplifies the construction of targeting plasmids by making use of defined cloning sites. This approach should result in substantial time and cost savings for appropriate homologous recombination projects.     

Inhibitory effect of esculentoside A on tumour necrosis factor alpha production by human monocytes

Esculentoside A (EsA) is a saponin isolated from the roots of Phytolacca esculenta. Previous experiments have shown that it has strong anti-inflammatory effects. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a very important inflammatory mediator. It is known that there are two types of TNF-TNFalpha is from macrophages/monocytes and TNFbeta is from activated lymphocytes. In order to study the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of EsA, it was determined whether TNFalpha production from human peripheral monocytes was altered by EsA under lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated conditions. EsA was found to decrease TNFalpha production in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations higher than 1 mumol/l EsA. Recent studies have shown that EsA has a curative effect on chocolate cyst and other inflammatory diseases. Our previous studies have shown that EsA could reduce the release of platelet activating factor (PAF) from rat macrophages, and inhibit interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 production from routine macrophages. The reducing effects of EsA on the release of TNFalpha, IL-1, IL-6 and PAF may explain its anti-inflammatory effect.

m~*-v幂模型在检验昆虫种群空间分布中的应用

近年来,不少学者提出了各种检验昆虫种群空间分布的模型．本文提出一种新的模型：m~*-v幂模型──m~*＝avb,m~*与v呈幂关系．实例研究验证表明该模型具有适用范围更广和可行性大的优点．同时,根据m~*-v幂模型,推导出与其相配套的序贯抽样方程、最大抽样数量公式和最适抽样单元大小等公式．
