云南省香格里拉大峡谷藏族神山在自然保护中的意义

位于云南省西北部迪庆藏族自治州境内的香格里拉大峡谷拥有独特的自然人文景观和丰富的生物多样性。藏族作为当地最重要的原住民族,他们的文化对当地的自然环境具有重要的影响。为了解藏族传统文化中的神山崇拜对香格里拉大峡谷地区自然环境的影响,本文应用民族生态学、植物生态学和文化人类学的研究方法,结合文献资料的分析,对香格里拉大峡谷的藏族神山进行了调查和研究,并对处于不同保护状态下（神山与非神山）的两个典型植物群落即高山松(Pinus densata)群落和云南黄果冷杉(Abies ernestii var. salouenensis)群落进行了比较。结果显示,在相同的样地面积内（20 m×20 m）,神山植物群落在物种数量（20,14）和群落盖度（100%,85%）方面都明显高于非神山植物群落（11,2;70%,60%）。结合入户调查资料,发现广泛分布于香格里拉大峡谷的藏族神山构成了一个“自下而上”的乡土保护体系,它不仅在保护生物多样性、维护当地脆弱的生态环境等方面发挥着重要的作用,而且还可以提供多种非林产品,实现多种生态功能。文章探讨了发挥乡土保护体系的保护功效及应用传统文化知识以促进自然保护的重要性,建议应当尊重和保护原住民的传统文化,发掘其中优秀的自然保护知识和经验,引导其发挥更加有效的自然保护功能,使民族传统保护体系成为现代自然保护体系的有力补充。

Differential effect of three-repeat and four-repeat tau on mitochondrial axonal transport

Tau protein is present in six different splice forms in the human brain and interacts with microtubules via either 3 or 4 microtubule binding repeats. An increased ratio of 3 repeat to 4 repeat isoforms is associated with neurodegeneration in inherited forms of frontotemporal dementia. Tau over-expression diminishes axonal transport in several systems, but differential effects of 3 repeat and 4 repeat isoforms have not been studied. We examined the effects of tau on mitochondrial transport and found that both 3 repeat and 4 repeat tau change normal mitochondrial distribution within the cell body and reduce mitochondrial localization to axons; 4 repeat tau has a greater effect than 3 repeat tau. Further, we observed that the 3 repeat and 4 repeat tau cause different alterations in retrograde and anterograde transport dynamics with 3 repeat tau having a slightly stronger effect on axon transport dynamics. Our results indicate that tau-induced changes in axonal transport may be an underlying theme in neurodegenerative diseases associated with isoform specific changes in tau's interaction with microtubules.     

组胺H_2受体激动剂和拮抗剂对WEHI_3细胞增殖的作用

近年来研究表明组胺及其受体在正常造血调控中起着重要作用。本研究用琼脂半固体培养技术观察了特异性组胺Ｈ２受体激动剂英普咪定和拮抗剂西咪替丁对髓系粒－单核细胞白血病干细胞株ＷＥＨＩ３细胞生长的影响。结果表明不同浓度的英普咪定（１０－８─１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）对集落数呈明显剂量依赖性抑制,与对照组比较ｐ＜０．０１。１０－１０─１０－９ｍｏｌ／Ｌ英普咪定对集落数无明显影响。１０－４─６×１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的英普咪定对集落产率的抑制作用趋于饱和。最大抑制效能为对照组的５４％（ｐ＜０．０１）。１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ西咪替丁能完全阻断１０－８ｍｏｌ／Ｌ英普咪定的集落抑制作用。对≥１０－６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ英普咪定的作用西咪替丁均有部分阻断作用,与对照组比较Ｐ＜０．０１。单用西咪替丁对ＷＥＨＩ３细胞无明显直接作用。这提示ＷＥＨＩ３细胞株上存在有组胺Ｈ２受体,激动Ｈ２受体可抑制细胞增殖。     

Preparation and characterization of surface crosslinked TPS/PVA blend films

Surface crosslinked thermoplastic starch (TPS)/PVA blend films were prepared by applying ultra violet (UV) irradiation. Sodium benzoate was used as photosensitizer and induced onto film surface layer by soaking the TPS/PVA films in the photosensitizer aqueous solution. The effects of concentration of photosensitizer aqueous solution, soaking time and UV irradiation dose on the surface photocrosslinking reaction were investigated. Physical properties, such as water contact angle, moisture absorption, swelling degree and solubility in water as well as mechanical properties of the films were measured to characterize the influence of the surface photocrosslinking modification. The obtained results showed that the surface modification considerably reduced the surface hydrophilic character of the TPS/PVA films, enhanced the film’s water resistance and also increased tensile strength and Young’s modulus but decreased elongation at break of the films.

缺氧环境下白细胞介素8通过Akt-STAT3通路提高骨髓间充质干细胞自噬和增殖能力

探讨缺氧环境下,白细胞介素8(Interleukin-8,IL-8)对人骨髓间充质干细胞(Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,hBMSC)增殖和自噬能力的影响以及机制。在缺氧模型下,未进行刺激的hBMSC为缺氧对照组;以100μmol/L人IL-8蛋白刺激的MSC为IL-8组;若先添加50μmol/L MK2206(Akt蛋白抑制剂)培养30 min,然后再添加100μmol/L IL-8则为Akt抑制剂组,在正常条件下培养的MSC为正常对照组。利用Ed U细胞增殖实验、TUNEL细胞凋亡实验、Western blotting或ELISA等实验分别检测各组MSC细胞Ed U标记阳性细胞的数目、细胞凋亡、自噬蛋白(LC-3)和Akt/STAT3等蛋白的表达。相对于缺氧对照组和Akt抑制剂组,IL-8明显提高hBMSC增殖和细胞自噬,并降低hBMSC的凋亡率,IL-8组hBMSC的Akt、STAT3和VEGF等蛋白表达增高。结果表明,缺氧环境下,IL-8通过Akt-STAT3通路发挥对MSC的保护作用,对保护MSC抗缺血缺氧性损伤,促进MSC在再生医学中应用具有重要意义。

Common bacterial responses in six ecosystems exposed to 10 years of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide

Six terrestrial ecosystems in the USA were exposed to elevated atmospheric CO(2) in single or multifactorial experiments for more than a decade to assess potential impacts. We retrospectively assessed soil bacterial community responses in all six-field experiments and found ecosystem-specific and common patterns of soil bacterial community response to elevated CO(2) . Soil bacterial composition differed greatly across the six ecosystems. No common effect of elevated atmospheric CO(2) on bacterial biomass, richness and community composition across all of the ecosystems was identified, although significant responses were detected in individual ecosystems. The most striking common trend across the sites was a decrease of up to 3.5-fold in the relative abundance of Acidobacteria Group 1 bacteria in soils exposed to elevated CO(2) or other climate factors. The Acidobacteria Group 1 response observed in exploratory 16S rRNA gene clone library surveys was validated in one ecosystem by 100-fold deeper sequencing and semi-quantitative PCR assays. Collectively, the 16S rRNA gene sequencing approach revealed influences of elevated CO(2) on multiple ecosystems. Although few common trends across the ecosystems were detected in the small surveys, the trends may be harbingers of more substantive changes in less abundant, more sensitive taxa that can only be detected by deeper surveys. Representative bacterial 16S rRNA gene clone sequences were deposited in GenBank with Accession No. JQ366086–JQ387568.
