从抗体阳性的甲型肝炎接触者粪便中分离出一株甲型肝炎病毒

几年来,国内外已相继用组织培养法分离多株甲型肝炎病毒(HAV),并已证实了甲型肝炎患者及亚临床型感染在传染本病中的重要性。但HAV在流行点的正常人群中存在短期携带的问题还尚未见报道。本文采用人胚肺二倍体细胞(2BS)从甲型肝炎接触者粪便中分离出一株HAV,并经免疫电镜、免疫荧光及参比血清鉴定等证实。现将结果报告如下。

Effect of hyperlipidemic serum on lipid peroxidation, synthesis of prostacyclin and thromboxane by cultured endothelial cells: protective effect of antioxidants

An increased lipid peroxides and a decreased production of prostacyclin have been shown in advanced atherosclerotic lesions and plasma. Our purpose was to determine whether the similar findings could be observed in cultured endothelial cells, and whether antioxidants could protect the cell against peroxide injury. In these experiments we have used bovine aortic endothelial cells in culture to address the issue of hyperlipidemia-induced arterial damage. Results of the present study showed that different concentration of hyperlipidemic sera from atherogenic rabbits induced a time- and dose-dependent alteration in the production of prostacyclin and levels of lipid peroxides in endothelial cells. Endothelial cells incubated with hyperlipidemic serum increased prostacyclin generation significantly during the initial stages and then continuously decreased. When endothelial cells were incubated for 36 h, TXA2 generation was also impaired and at the same time the cellular lipid peroxides content increased. There was a positive correlation between the concentration of hyperlipidemic serum and lipid peroxides and an inverse correlation with prostacyclin synthesis. The medium supplemented with antioxidant selenium or vitamin E showed a significant decrease in lipid peroxides and an increase in prostacyclin synthesis. These results suggest that both hyperlipidemic serum and lipid peroxides injury endothelial cells and inactivate prostacyclin synthetase, resulting in a decrease of prostacyclin production, while antioxidants have a protective effect. We conclude that the increase in lipid peroxides in association with hyperlipidemia results in alteration of prostacyclin synthesis that may play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.     

人肝癌细胞表皮生长因子受体以及佛波酯对它的调度

Using radioligand binding assay, the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in cells of two human liver cancer cell lines, BEL-7402 and SMMC-7721, was demonstrated. The ligand binding data were analyzed by a computer program. The dissociation constants (KD) of the ligand-receptor binding complex at equilibrium for 7402 and 7721 cells were 1.2 nM and 0.8 nM respectively, and their number of EGF receptors per cell were 6.2 x 10(4) and 2.5 x 10(4) respectively. After the treatment of cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), no change either in the affinity or in the number of EGF receptors was found in 7721 cells. However, in the case of 7402 cells, while the number of receptors, like 7721 cells, remained unchanged, the affinity of EGF receptors displayed a time dependent modulation after PMA treatment. It dropped within the first hour to a KD value of 3.0 nM and then gradually returned to the normal control value at 48 hours or even slightly higher than normal (0.95 nM) at 96 hours of treatment. The modulation or down-regulation of EGF receptors by PMA in 7402 cells was paralleled by the simultaneous inhibition of DNA synthesis in these cells as evidenced from their reduction of 3H-TdR uptake. It is not clear what is the basis for the differences found between 7402 cells and 7721 cells in their number of EGF receptors per cell and their responsiveness to PMA treatment. It might be related to their difference in autocrine secretion of alpha-transforming growth factors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

甘蔗幼叶切段培养中的体细胞胚胎发生

本文从形态学和组织学方面研究了甘蔗幼叶胚性愈伤组织发生及体细胞胚胎的形成过程。甘蔗幼叶片切段培养于含2.4—D1.5mg/1的MS培养基上,4—6天后切段开始形成愈伤组织,约10天后愈伤组织表面出现白色颗粒状结构。将含有白色颗粒状结构的愈伤组织转移至不含激素的培养基中,7—10天后可见有小植株长出。组织学和形态学观察表明,甘蔗离体再生植株是通过体细胞胚胎发生途径。

The controlling sequence for site-specific chromosome breakage in Tetrahymena

Site-specific chromosome breakage occurs in many ciliated protozoa during nuclear differentiation. We have determined the cis-acting sequence that controls this process in Tetrahymena thermophila. The Tetrahymena ribosomal RNA gene is bounded by two breakage sites. Injection of this gene into developing macronuclei leads to breakage at these sites. Deletion analysis has localized the sequences essential for breakage to a 28 bp region that includes a 15 bp sequence (Cbs) known to be present in other breakage sites. Insertions of Cbs allow breakage to occur at new sites, which is accompanied by elimination of surrounding DNAs and formation of telomeric sequences, as it is at natural sites. Thus, Cbs is the necessary and sufficient sequence signal for chromosome breakage in Tetrahymena.     

Development of a FIA system with immobilized enzymes for specific post-column detection of purine bases and their nucleosides separated by HPLC column.

A sensitive and highly selective method for the simultaneous determination of purine bases and their nucleosides is proposed. An amperometric flow-injection system with the two immobilized enzyme reactors (guanase immobilized reactor and purine nucleoside phosphorylase/xanthine oxidase co-immobilized reactor) is used as the specific post-column detection system of HPLC, to convert compounds separated by a reversed-phase. HPLC column to electroactive species (hydrogen peroxide and uric acid) which can be detected at a flow-through platinum electrode. The proposed detection system is specific for a group of purine bases and purine nucleosides and does not respond for purine nucleotides and pyrimidine bases. The linear determination ranges are from 10 pmol to 5 nmol for four purine bases (hypoxanthine, xanthine, guanine, and adenine) and four purine nucleosides (inosine, xanthosine, guanosine, and adenosine). The detection limits are 1.2-5.5 pmol.

内蒙古自治区螽亚目(Tettigoniodea,Orthoptera)昆虫区系及地带性分布的研究

内蒙古自治区目前共知螽亚目昆虫5科、26属、58种(表1)。其中螽斯占总种数的74.2％,蟋蟀占17.3％,其余的占7.5％。其区系组成以古北种为主体,特别是东北中国种、东西伯利亚——蒙古种和欧洲——西伯利亚种是区系组成的核心(表2)。特有种占有一定的比例(10.3％),主要分布于该区东北部的森林草原亚带和西部的荒漠带。中部地区有部分华北种的渗入。在本区东部的草原带中,螽斯亚科昆虫最为丰富;西部的荒漠带中,硕螽亚科昆虫是最突出的代表种,并有中亚种的分布(表4)。从总的种类分布来看,东北部的森林带和草原带的昆虫种类明显比西部荒漠带要丰富,中部的干草原亚带则是上述两者的过渡区域。 文中还根据螽亚目昆虫在不同植被地区的分布情况,采用Sφgrensen系数比较了各地带之间昆虫区系的相似性(表3)。用聚类分析的方法将10个植被地带或亚带划分成6个大的地带区:森林区、草原区、荒漠区、暖温型森林草原区、暖温型典型草原区和暖温型荒漠草原区(图2)。作者详细地叙述了各个地带区中昆虫区系的组成特点和分布规律。并就前人对该区昆虫区划工作提出了若干修订意见。
