内吞作用与胚胎诱导

在两柄类胚胎初级诱导的研究中,诱导物质如何进入反应细胞是一个受到重视(Grunzand Staubach,1979;Toivonen,1979)、但是仍未能解决的问题。为了对这一问题有所阐明,进行了离体诱导实验和电镜的观察。东方蝾螈(Cynops orientalis)早期原肠胚的外胚层块用豚鼠骨髓粗提液(BME)——有效的中胚层诱导物(Toivonen,1953)——处

Differing activities of medullary respiratory neurons in eupnea and gasping

Our purpose was to compare further eupneic ventilatory activity with that of gasping. Decerebrate, paralyzed, and ventilated cats were used; the vagi were sectioned within the thorax caudal to the laryngeal branches. Activities of the phrenic nerve and medullary respiratory neurons were recorded. Antidromic invasion was used to define bulbospinal, laryngeal, or not antidromically activated units. The ventilatory pattern was reversibly altered to gasping by exposure to 1% carbon monoxide in air. In eupnea, activities of inspiratory neurons commenced at various times during inspiration, and for most the discharge frequency gradually increased. In gasping, the peak discharge frequency of inspiratory neurons was unaltered. However, all commenced activities at the start of the phrenic burst and reached peak discharge almost immediately. The discharge frequencies of all groups of expiratory neurons fell in gasping, with many neurons ceasing activity entirely. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that brain stem mechanisms controlling eupnea and gasping differ fundamentally.     

黄瓜根尖分生组织细胞核仁超微结构类型及缺硼时的变化

硼是植物必需的一种微量元素,缺乏时植物根的生长被抑制。黄瓜根尖分生组织细胞核中核仁有四种类型。不缺硼的核仁中,丝状成分、粒状成分、丝状中心及核仁液泡能够明显地看到。缺硼的核仁中,丝状成分萎缩,变得粗短。看不见丝状中心、核仁液泡等。环形核仁中的中央大液泡变小。     

关于苔藓植物染色体研究方法的探讨

目前我国在苔藓植物染色体方面的研究工作尚属空白,其难度也较种子植物要大。作者通过参阅闰外文献,并对数十种不同类型的苔藓植物进行了实验摸索。本文较全面地介绍了包括取材(即孢蒴、茎尖、生长点等)、固定、染色和压片等成功的方法技术问题,以期更多的学者开展该领域的研究工作,促进我国在苔藓植物染色体方面的研究工作。     

Localization of a 24-kilodalton glycoprotein in adult Schistosoma mansoni using immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy

Studies on schistosome protective immune responses have focused mainly on antigens of the parasite's syncytial surface. One of the characterized schistosome antigens, a 24-kDa glycoprotein, has been considered important in mechanisms of immune evasion by the parasites. In the present study, using affinity-purified antibodies to the 24-kDa protein for immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy, we demonstrated an association of the 24-kDa antigen with the discoid bodies (the major syncytial inclusion bodies; DBs) and the surface membrane complex (most likely the apical plasma membrane) of adult Schistosoma mansoni. This is consistent with previous observations that the 24-kDa antigen appeared to be localized to the syncytial membrane and DB fractions. The present results also support the suggestion that the DBs are the precursor organelles of the apical plasma membrane.     

血管紧张素Ⅱ中枢加压作用的机制

血管紧张素II(AII)具有中枢加压作用。中枢产生的AII在脑内的作用部位广泛,而外周产生的AII主要通过脑内某些特殊区域起作用。AII的中枢加压作用主要通过以下三条途径实现:(1)中枢性兴奋交感神经;(2)抑制迷走中枢;(3)促进加压素释放。     

Biosynthesis of caldariellaquinone in Sulfolobus spp.

The biosynthesis of caldariellaquionone (CQ) was studied in species of Sulfolobus by measuring the incorporation of stable isotopically labeled tyrosines into CQ. By feeding a series of tyrosines labeled with deuterium or 13C and then measuring the extent and position at which label was incorporated into CQ by mass spectrometry, it was shown that more than 95% of the label was incorporated into the benzo[b]thiophen-4,7-quinone moiety of CQ. From the labeling experiments, it is concluded that the benzo[b]thiophen-4,7-quinone is derived as an intact unit from all of the carbons of tyrosine except C-1.
