1. We investigated the effects of riparian plant diversity (species number and identity) and temperature on microbially mediated leaf decomposition by assessing fungal biodiversity, fungal reproduction and leaf mass loss. 2. Leaves of five riparian plant species were first immersed in a stream to allow microbial colonisation and were then exposed, alone or in all possible combinations, at 16 or 24 °C in laboratory microcosms. 3. Fungal biodiversity was reduced by temperature but was not affected by litter diversity. Temperature altered fungal community composition with species of warmer climate, such as Lunulospora curvula, becoming dominant. 4. Fungal reproduction was affected by litter diversity, but not by temperature. Fungal reproduction in leaf mixtures did not differ or was lower than that expected from the weighted sum of fungal sporulation on individual leaf species. At the higher temperature, the negative effect of litter diversity on fungal reproduction decreased with the number of leaf species. 5. Leaf mass loss was affected by the identity of leaf mixtures (i.e. litter quality), but not by leaf species number. This was mainly explained by the negative correlation between leaf decomposition and initial lignin concentration of leaves. 6. At 24 °C, the negative effects of lignin on microbially mediated leaf decomposition diminished, suggesting that higher temperatures may weaken the effects of litter quality on plant litter decomposition in streams. 7. The reduction in the negative effects of lignin at the higher temperature resulted in an increased microbially mediated litter decomposition, which may favour invertebrate‐mediated litter decomposition leading to a depletion of litter stocks in streams. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Die Endkolben des M. verticalis der Katzenzunge befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft dünnwandiger Venen, weitlumiger Lymphgefäße und Fettzellen. Das Sarkoplasma zeigt netzartige Struktur, in die Komplexe von Bläschen eingelagert sind. Der Glykogengehalt der Endkolben ist unbedeutend, während Fett-Tröpfchen in feinster Verteilung nachgewiesen werden können. Die Kerne der Sarkoplasmablasen sind von auffallend unterschiedlicher Dichte und Größe. Markreiche und markarme Nervenfasern treten an die Endkolben heran und stehen mit ihnen in Verbindung. Die Frage der funktionellen Bedeutung dieser Strukturen wird diskutiert.
Summary The end-bulbs of the M. verticalis of the cat's tongue are located in the immediate vicinity of thinly walled veins, wide lymphatic vessels, and fat cells. The sarcoplasm shows a net-like structure into which complexes of vesicles are embedded. The glykogen content of the endbulbs is low, whereas small drops of finely dispersed fat can be demonstrated. The nuclei of the balloons of sarcoplasm are remarkably different in density and size. Myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibres approach the end-bulbs and are in close contact with them. The question of the functional significance of these structures is discussed.相似文献

Preliminary experience with primary stenting in myocardial infarction has suggested a greater benefit in clinical outcome than has been obtained with direct balloon angioplasty. However, subacute thrombosis (SAT) remains a limitation for this new mode of therapy. In the BENESTENT II Pilot and main trials, the incidence of SAT with the heparin-coated Palmaz-Schatz stent was only 0.15%. Therefore, as a preamble to a large randomized trial, the feasibility and safety of the use of the Heparin-Coated Palmaz-Schatz trade mark Stent in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) was tested in 101 patients enrolled between April and September 1996 in 18 clinical centres. In 101 stent-eligible AMI patients, as dictated by protocol, a heparin-coated stent was implanted. The primary objectives were to determine the in-hospital incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE: death, MI, target lesion revascularization) and bleeding complications, while the secondary objectives were the procedural success rate and the MACE, the restenosis and reocclusion rates at 6.5 months. Stent implantation (n 3 129 stents) was successful in 97 patients of the 101 who were included in this trial. During their hospital stay, two patients died and no patient experienced re-infarction, ischaemia prompting re-PTCA or CABG. Four patients suffered a bleeding complication, three major and one minor, of whom three required surgical repair. At 210 days follow-up, 81% of the patients were event free. At 6.5 months restenosis was documented in 18% of the 88 patients who underwent follow-up angiography, including three total occlusions. The results, both with respect to QCA and the occurrence of MACE, compare favourably with studies using elective stenting in both stable and unstable angina patients. As a result of this pilot study, a large randomized trial comparing direct balloon angioplasty with direct stenting in 900 patients with AMI was initiated in December 1996. 相似文献

Evolution of the Adh locus in the Drosophila willistoni group: the loss of an intron, and shift in codon usage 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report here the DNA sequence of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene (Adh)
cloned from Drosophila willistoni. The three major findings are as follows:
(1) Relative to all other Adh genes known from Drosophila, D. willistoni
Adh has the last intron precisely deleted; PCR directly from total genomic
DNA indicates that the deletion exists in all members of the willistoni
group but not in any other group, including the closely related saltans
group. Otherwise the structure and predicted protein are very similar to
those of other species. (2) There is a significant shift in codon usage,
especially compared with that in D. melanogaster Adh. The most striking
shift is from C to U in the wobble position (both third and first
position). Unlike the codon-usage-bias pattern typical of highly biased
genes in D. melanogaster, including Adh, D. willistoni has nearly 50% G + C
in the third position. (3) The phylogenetic information provided by this
new sequence is in agreement with almost all other molecular and
morphological data, in placing the obscura group closer to the melanogaster
group, with the willistoni group farther distant but still clearly within
the subgenus Sophophora.

Immune responses to hepatitis B surface antigen following epidermal powder immunization 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Langerhans cells in the epidermis of skin are potent antigen-presenting cells that trigger the immune system to respond to invading microorganisms. We have previously shown that epidermal powder immunization with a powdered inactivated influenza virus vaccine, by targeting the Langerhans cell-rich epidermis, was more efficacious than deeper tissue injection using a needle and syringe. We now report enhanced humoral and cellular immune responses to recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen following epidermal powder immunization. We observed that epidermal powder immunization with unadjuvanted hepatitis B surface antigen elicited an antibody titre equivalent to that induced by the alum-adjuvanted vaccine delivered by intramuscular injection, suggesting that epidermal powder immunization can overcome the need for adjuvantation. We demonstrated that synthetic CpG oligonucleotides (CpG DNA) could be coformulated with hepatitis B surface antigen and delivered by epidermal powder immunization to further augment the antibody response and modulate T helper cell activities. Epidermal powder immunization of hepatitis B surface antigen formulated with CpG DNA formulations resulted in 1.5-2.0 logs higher IgG antibody titres than alum-adjuvanted commercial vaccines administered by intramuscular injection. Formulation of hepatitis B surface antigen with CpG DNA elicited an augmented IgG2a antibody response and increased frequency of IFN-gamma secreting cells. In addition, CpG DNA was found to activate epidermal Langerhans cells and stimulate the production of TNF-alpha and IL-12 cytokines by epidermal cells, explaining its strong adjuvant activity following epidermal powder immunization. These results show that epidermal powder immunization is a safe and effective method to deliver hepatitis B surface antigen and the addition of new adjuvants, such as CpG DNA, may further enhance the efficacy of this vaccine. 相似文献

Resumé Chez les Blés branchus de l'espèce «turgidum» (Triticum turgidum compositum), il existe des sortes à thermostade plutôt froid (Blés d'hiver ou de semi-hiver) et des sortes à thermostade chaud, tièe ou «indifférent» (Blés de printemps). Les Blés branchus de l'espèce «turgidum» apparaissent comme étant des plantes à photostade de jour long. La plus ou moins grande rapidité de l'accomplissement du photostade, par rapport à la rapidité de l'assimilation des matières plastiques, détermine la structure, — non ramifiée ou ramifiée — de l'épi. 相似文献

Background
Different cell types have distinctive patterns of chromosome positioning in the nucleus. Although ectopic affinity-tethering of specific loci can be used to relocate chromosomes to the nuclear periphery, endogenous nuclear envelope proteins that control such a mechanism in mammalian cells have yet to be widely identified.Results
To search for such proteins, 23 nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins were screened for their ability to promote peripheral localization of human chromosomes in HT1080 fibroblasts. Five of these proteins had strong effects on chromosome 5, but individual proteins affected different subsets of chromosomes. The repositioning effects were reversible and the proteins with effects all exhibited highly tissue-restricted patterns of expression. Depletion of two nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins that were preferentially expressed in liver each reduced the normal peripheral positioning of chromosome 5 in liver cells.Conclusions
The discovery of nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins that can modulate chromosome position and have restricted patterns of expression may enable dissection of the functional relevance of tissue-specific patterns of radial chromosome positioning. 相似文献60.
SGO1 but not SGO2 is required for maintenance of centromere cohesion in Arabidopsis thaliana meiosis
L. Zamariola N. De Storme CL. Tiang S. J. Armstrong F. C. H. Franklin D. Geelen 《Sexual plant reproduction》2013,26(3):197-208
Shugoshin is a protein conserved in eukaryotes and protects sister chromatid cohesion at centromeres in meiosis. In our study, we identified the homologs of SGO1 and SGO2 in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that AtSGO1 is necessary for the maintenance of centromere cohesion in meiosis I since atsgo1 mutants display premature separation of sister chromatids starting from anaphase I. Furthermore, we show that the localization of the specific centromeric cohesin AtSYN1 is not affected in atsgo1, suggesting that SGO1 centromere cohesion maintenance is not mediated by protection of SYN1 from cleavage. Finally, we show that AtSGO2 is dispensable for both meiotic and mitotic cell progression in Arabidopsis. 相似文献
