植物光诱导延迟荧光测量的影响因素研究

光合作用是地球上最重要的化学反应,植物内源性光诱导延迟荧光是光合作用原初过程中光系统Ⅱ作用中心P680处电荷分离效率的内在探针。延迟荧光除了受植物本身及其生长发育状况有关外,还受到其他很多环境及测量方面的影响,所以为了更好地利用延迟荧光特性技术研究植物生理特性,就必须对测量参数指标做合理的优化。本文从影响延迟荧光的激发光源的光强,激发时间及外界环境温度出发,研究延迟荧光的变化特性,为延迟荧光在植物生理特性方面的研究提供合理的理论依据。     

不同水污染净化情景下北京社会经济部门及要素变化:基于ES-CGE模型的分析

水污染问题是北京城市发展的重要阻碍,探寻水污染净化服务对城市经济系统的影响,对北京产业结构调整具有重要意义。在传统可计算一般均衡模型(Computable General Equilibrium,CGE)的基础上,将水污染净化服务引入CGE模型,构建了水污染净化服务-可计算一般均衡模型(Water Pollution Purification Ecosystem Service-Computable General Equilibrium,ES-CGE),从供给与需求两个方面模拟了不同水污染净化情境下北京市社会经济部门及要素变化。研究结果表明:当水污染净化服务的供给和需求变化时,经济系统内各部门的产出都会相应做出调整,这反映了生态系统和经济系统之间以及经济系统内部的关联性。与提高污水管理水平相比,北京限制污水排放效果更为显著,居民福利增加也更为明显。现阶段,北京市城市功能疏解中应首先疏解石油、天然气开采、电力、热力和燃料生产和供应业、纺织服装鞋帽皮革羽绒及其制品业、造纸印刷及文教体育用品制造业等部门。北京市可在20%的增税幅度内,适度提高石油、天然气开采、电力、热力燃料生产和供应业生产税,联动造纸、纺织等行业逐步向外疏导,提高居民福利,同时在增税和补贴过程中,应注重关护农村居民利益,防止拉大城乡福利差距。     

Engineering imaging probes and molecular machines for nanomedicine

Nanomedicine is an emerging field that integrates nanotechnology, biomolecular engineering, life sciences and medicine; it is expected to produce major breakthroughs in medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Due to the size-compatibility of nano-scale structures and devices with proteins and nucleic acids, the design, synthesis and application of nanoprobes, nanocarriers and nanomachines provide unprecedented opportunities for achieving a better control of biological processes, and drastic improvements in disease detection, therapy, and prevention. Recent advances in nanomedicine include the development of functional nanoparticle based molecular imaging probes, nano-structured materials as drug/gene carriers for in vivo delivery, and engineered molecular machines for treating single-gene disorders. This review focuses on the development of molecular imaging probes and engineered nucleases for nanomedicine, including quantum dot bioconjugates, quantum dot-fluorescent protein FRET probes, molecular beacons, magnetic and gold nanoparticle based imaging contrast agents, and the design and validation of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and TAL effector nucleases (TALENs) for gene targeting. The challenges in translating nanomedicine approaches to clinical applications are discussed.     

Inhibition of mitochondrial complex I improves glucose metabolism independently of AMPK activation

Accumulating evidences showed metformin and berberine, well‐known glucose‐lowering agents, were able to inhibit mitochondrial electron transport chain at complex I. In this study, we aimed to explore the antihyperglycaemic effect of complex I inhibition. Rotenone, amobarbital and gene silence of NDUFA13 were used to inhibit complex I. Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test were performed in db/db mice. Lactate release and glucose consumption were measured to investigate glucose metabolism in HepG2 hepatocytes and C2C12 myotubes. Glucose output was measured in primary hepatocytes. Compound C and adenoviruses expressing dominant negative AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) α1/2 were exploited to inactivate AMPK pathway. Cellular NAD⁺/NADH ratio was assayed to evaluate energy transforming and redox state. Rotenone ameliorated hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance in db/db mice. It induced glucose consumption and glycolysis and reduced hepatic glucose output. Rotenone also activated AMPK. Furthermore, it remained effective with AMPK inactivation. The enhanced glycolysis and repressed gluconeogenesis correlated with a reduction in cellular NAD⁺/NADH ratio, which resulted from complex I suppression. Amobarbital, another representative complex I inhibitor, stimulated glucose consumption and decreased hepatic glucose output in vitro, too. Similar changes were observed while expression of NDUFA13, a subunit of complex I, was knocked down with gene silencing. These findings reveal mitochondrial complex I emerges as a key drug target for diabetes treatment. Inhibition of complex I improves glucose homoeostasis via non‐AMPK pathway, which may relate to the suppression of the cellular NAD⁺/NADH ratio.

大同锥叶蕨Coniopteris tatungensis 是侏罗纪植物群常见的分子。由于对该植物特征认识的不同, 对其在分类上的归属有不同意见,或归入膜蕨型锥叶蕨C．hymenophylloides,或归入简单锥叶蕨C. simplex。通过对产自北京西山斋堂地区窑坡组下段的标本的深入研究,特别是用扫描电子显微镜对该 标本的孢子囊群和孢子囊的观察,确认大同锥叶蕨在锥叶蕨属的种级分类上的独立性。文中还初步讨论了其分类和地理分布。     

耐热碱性磷酸酶突变体耐热性变化机理研究

从耐热碱性磷酸酶（TAP）200多个随机突变体的克隆库中选出耐热性明显下降的4株突变体,进行全序列及表达产物的最高耐受温度和最适反应温度测定和酶分子高级结构的模拟,分析突变位点、高级结构和耐热性表现三者的关系,探讨引起耐热性变化的机理。结构模拟显示所有突变位点都仅能引起细微的、局部的结构变化,除T320→I外都未直接触及酶的活性中心;结构上的细微改变虽然对最适反应温度影响不明显,但却使最高耐受温度降低了10℃左右;T320→I靠近酶的活性中心,尽管未能引起结构的较大变化,但却使最高耐受温度和最适反应温度同时显著降低。可见,多数点突变对高级结构的影响都不剧烈,但对耐热性尤其是最高耐受温度的影响却比较明显,一般地,在非活性区的突变通常只能引起最高耐受温度的降低,靠近活性区的突变则能同时引起最适反应温度和最高耐受温度的降低。
