γ射线诱发大鼠胚胎细胞转化与N－ras的激活

以γ射线诱发转化的大鼠胚胎细胞(REC:myc:γ33)的DNA构建粘粒基因库,用总基因库DNA转染NIH/3T3细胞,产生转化灶的DNA作二轮转染,二轮转化的NIH/3T3细胞内有大鼠REC:myc:γ33DNA中具转化活性的N-ras基因,用不对称PCR和DNA序列分析法证明,REC:myc:γ33细胞中鼠N-ras的活化是由于第61位密码子的A→G点突变.NIH/3T3转化灶中鼠N-ras也有同样点突变,但NIH/3T3细胞的内源性N-ras基因则无此突变.     

Deforestation and land use in the Brazilian Amazon

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon was less than 1% before 1975. Between 1975 and 1987 the rate increased exponentially. By 1985, world opinion and attention to the destruction of the richest biome on earth led to elimination of some of the major incentives that had fueled deforestation. Favorable credit policies for cattle ranchers, rather than population growth, explains the process of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. The paper suggests other actions that may be taken to reduce deforestation, and examines the rapid growth rates of secondary successional species in a colonization area.     

Responses of radial growth and stable carbon isotopes to climate in the northern Tianshan Mountains

Climate change has profound effects on forest ecosystems. Schrenk spruce (P. schrenkiana) is a natural conifer species endemic to the arid inland areas of Asia. In this study, the relationship between tree-ring parameters of P. schrenkiana and major meteorological factors were analyzed, and the main limiting factors for tree radial growth and stable carbon isotope fractionation were explored. Our results indicate that moisture stress before and during the growing season have an important influence on radial growth of P. schrenkiana, especially, the correlation coefficient between tree-ring width and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) from previous August to current July is as high as −0.622 (n = 51, p < 0.01). Collinearity analysis further supports the conclusion that the limiting factor for the radial growth of P. schrenkiana is moisture. Although the correlation analysis results show that the tree-ring δ¹³C_corr is significantly positively correlated with sunshine duration (SD), additional analysis based on first order difference variables suggests that the climate factor may not be the only limiting factor for the stable carbon isotope fractionation of tree rings in the Sayram Lake Basin. This lays the foundation for the assessment of forest management practices and carbon sink capacity in light of future climate change.     

烟草耐盐愈伤组织变异体对盐渍的适应性

用组织培养及逐步增加,NaCl浓度的方法,筛选出烟草耐盐愈伤组织变异体。能耐盐(2％ NaCl)的愈伤组织在2％ NaCl中继代29次,再移入无盐培养基中培养11和20代后不能保持提高的耐盐性,分别退化到只耐1.5％与1.0％ NaCl的水平。耐2％ NaCl愈伤组织产生的再生植株自交后代,其萌发种子、幼苗及成长植株均未能表现出耐盐性,说明用选择胁迫方法所筛选出的耐盐细胞系,其耐盐性的提高属于生理适应性。     

广西合浦盆地古新世上洋组孢粉组合及其地层意义

广西合浦盆地上洋组在亚1井中有很好的揭示,明显表现为三分特征。作者通过对该井上洋组微体植物化石的研究,建立了三个孢粉、藻类组合,由下而上分别为:Boehlensipollis-Tricolporo-pollenites-Tricolpites-Ulmoideipites组合;Boehlensipollis qingjiangensis-Ulmoideipites-Nuxpollen-ites-Pentapollenites组合和Pinaceae-Ulmaceae-Liqudambarpollenites-Conicoidium组合。前两个组合可与北部湾长流组及广东南雄盆地上湖组等地古新世孢粉组合进行对比。第三个组合以松科花粉含量突然增加为特征,在我国许多地区晚古新世孢粉组合中都有反映。 上洋组植被在古新世早、中期以阔叶植物为特征,指示一种热带—亚热带型气候,早期干旱,中期略有缓和,晚期植被以针叶阔叶混交林为特征,表明气候变温凉。

黑龙江宁安盆地是一个具有油气勘探远景的中小型盆地,主要目的层为下白垩统。新发现了一套相当于邻区穆棱组的地层,孢粉化石十分丰富,建立了５个孢粉组合带,通过对两口石油探井生物地层的研究,建立了该舅地新的地层层序,并对穆棱组的时代和沉积环境进行了讨论。     

山西榆社晚中新世竹鼠一新种

本文描述了采自山西榆社盆地上第三系竹鼠类化石的一新种。新种与Rhizomys(Brachyrhizomyr)rhanriur相似,但个体较小,臼齿相对狭长,M,保留有连接下次尖和下次脊的齿襞(mure)及短的下中脊。这两种化石竹鼠在榆社的出现,超越了现生竹鼠类分布的北界,说明该科的情况要比以前知道的更为复杂,也表明榆社地区在晚第三纪时比近代湿润。

Previous results have shown that the autoantibody eluted from the glomeruli of rats with active Heymann nephritis contain a population of antibodies not only to the putative autoantigen of the disease, gp330, but alos to plasminogen. Since gp330 has been shown to serve as a receptor for plasminogen, we have analyzed the effects of autoantibody on plasminogen-binding to gp330 and activation of plasminogen to plasmin by urokinase. Autoantibody does not inhibit the binding of plasminogen to gp330. The change in the conformation of plasminogen when its lysine-binding sites are occupied or after conversion to plasmin results in a significant decrease in autoantibody-binding. The most significant effect of autoantibody on this system is the inhibition of plasminogen activation to plasmin by urokinase. The binding of autoantibody to plasminogen acts as a competitive inhibitor of the reaction by apparently blocking access of urokinase to plasminogen's activation site. These results indicate that autoantibody obtained from the immune deposits in the glomeruli of rats with active Heyman nephritis does not inhibit the binding of plasminogen to gp330 but does significantly alter the urokinase catalyzed activation of plasminogen to plasmin.

Thein vitro effect of theophylline on 17α, 20ß-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one-induced germinal vesicle breakdown in the catfish,Clarias batrachus

The effects of theophylline (a phosphodiesterase inhibitor) and cAMP on 17α, 20ß-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one-induced germinal vesicle breakdown was investigatedin vitro in catfish (Clarias batrachus) oocytes. Folliculated oocytes incubated with 17α, 20ß-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one at the concentration of 1 μg/ml induced 93.2 ± 2.23% germinal vesicle breakdown. When the oocytes were prestimulated with 17α,20ß-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one for 6 h and then treated with different concentrations of theophylline, there was a significant drop in the frequency of germinal vesicle breakdown at the concentrations 2.0, 1.5 and 1.0 mM. However, theophylline was found to be incapable of inhibiting germinal vesicle breakdown at its lowest concentration (0.5 inM). In the time course study, significant inhibition of germinal vesicle breakdown was recorded when 1 mM theophylline was added up to 30 h of 17α,20ß-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one Stimulation but the inhibitory effect of theophylline gradually (time dependent manner) declined if the stimulatory time of 17α,20ß-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one was increased. A similar inhibition of germinal vesicle breakdown was also recorded with various concentrations of cAMP. Except 0.5 mM, all the higher concentrations of cAMP significantly inhibited 17α,20ß-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one induced germinal vesicle breakdown.
