超声检查在乳腺癌诊断中价值的探讨

目的:探讨二维及彩色多普勒超声在乳腺癌诊断方面的临床应用价值。方法:对60例经手术病理证实的乳腺肿块病例的二维及彩色多普勒超声检查与病理结果进行回顾性分析。结果:乳腺癌诊断中,大多数恶性肿块表现为形态不规则、边缘粗糙、边界不清、内部回声不均匀、后方回声衰减。恶性肿块的血流显示率明显高,血流分布以Ⅱ、Ⅲ级为主。结论:二维声像图及彩色多普勒在乳腺癌诊断方面有较高的临床应用价值。由于良恶性肿物的影像互有交叉,其诊断符合率并非是100%。须两者联合应用,综合分析,方可提高超声对乳腺良恶性肿块的诊断符合率。

目的:初步确定蛋白质二硫化异构酶A1和延伸因子1-delta为左侧和右侧结肠癌中差异表达蛋白,为左侧和右侧结肠癌在肿瘤生物学方面的差异提供分子遗传学依据。方法:收集人左侧结肠癌(LSCC)和右侧结肠癌(RSCC)组织标本,进行二维凝胶电泳、质谱分析和生物信息学分离和鉴定左右侧结肠癌中差异表达蛋白质,进一步应用RT-PCR、Western Blot和免疫组织化学技术检测蛋白质二硫化异构酶A1和延伸因子1-delta在左侧和右侧结肠癌中的表达状态。结果:筛选并成功鉴定出左侧和右侧结肠癌中16种差异表达蛋白质,与右侧结肠癌比较,10种蛋白在左侧结肠癌表达上调,6种蛋白在左侧结肠癌表达下调,其中蛋白质二硫化异构酶A1在左侧结肠癌中表达上调,延伸因子1-delta在左侧结肠癌中表达下调,并通过RT-PCR、Western Blot和免疫组化方法证实了在左侧和右侧结肠癌中该两种蛋白表达的差异,与蛋白质组学结果一致。结论:左侧结肠癌和右侧结肠癌的蛋白质组存在差异,其中蛋白质二硫化异构酶A1和延伸因子1-delta在mRNA和蛋白水平均存在差异,这些可能是左侧和右侧结肠癌生物学行为差异的原因。     

1,25 二羟基维生素D3 对兔角膜碱烧伤朗格罕氏细胞影响

目的:研究1,25二羟基维生素D3(骨化三醇)对兔角膜碱烧伤后角膜朗格罕氏细胞分布的影响,并初步探讨其作用机制。方法:在兔角膜制作碱烧伤模型,然后实验组局部和全身给予1,25二羟基维生素D3,分别在第3,7,21天时对正常组,实验组和对照组家兔行角膜共聚焦显微镜,HE染色观察角膜病理改变。结果:正常组角膜中央在三个时间点均未检测出朗格罕氏细胞。实验组和对照组碱烧伤后3、7天角膜中央出现朗格罕氏细胞,对照组密度高于实验组(p<0.05);碱烧伤后21天两组朗格罕氏细胞密度相近(p>0.05)。实验组炎性反应程度在第7,21天时轻于对照组。结论:1,25二羟基维生素D3能够在兔角膜碱烧伤早期抑制朗格罕氏细胞的向心性迁移,并且能在一定程度上抑制炎性反应。     

核蛋白体上结合位点的三点模型

核蛋白体上有３个ｔＲＮＡ的结合位点，Ａ位、Ｐ位和Ｅ位。蛋白质合成过程中，核蛋白体移位，脱氨酰ｔＲＮＡ只从Ｐ位点移到Ｅ位点，而不脱落，只有当Ａ位点与新的氨酰ｔＲＮＡ结合后，脱氨酰ｔＲＮＡ才与Ｅ位点脱离。如果错误的氨酰ｔＲＮＡ进入Ａ位，则结合不稳定，就会脱落下来，这样保证蛋白质合成的准确性。     

Raman spectroscopic analysis of the effect of ultraviolet irradiation on calf thymus DNA

Raman spectroscopy was used for the first time to detect the effect of independent UVA (ultraviolet-A: 320-400nm) and UVB (ultraviolet-B: 280-320 nm) irradiation on the calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution. After both UVA and UVB irradiation for 1h or 3h, the damage to the conformation of DNA was moderate, but the reduction of the B-form DNA component was obvious. Both UVA and UVB caused significant damage to the deoxyribose moiety and bases, among which the pyrimidine base pairs were more seriously affected. There appeared to be preferential damaging sites on DNA molecules caused by UVA and UVB irradiation. UVA irradiation caused more damage to the deoxyribose than UVB irradiation, while UVB irradiation caused more significant damage to the pyrimidine moiety than UVA irradiation. After UVB irradiation for 3h, unstacking of the AT base pairs and the cytosine ring took place, severe damage to the thymine moiety occurred, and some base pairs were modified. Moreover, with either UVA or UVB irradiation for 3h,the photoreactivation of DNA occurred. The damage to the DNA caused by UVB was immediate, while the damage caused by UVA was proportional to the irradiation duration. The experimental results partly indicate the formation of some cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6-4) photoproducts.     

Critical Role of Cys168 in Noggin Protein＇s Biological Function

Previous studies have indicated that noggin exerts its neural inducing effect by binding and antagonizing bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4). In order to further clarify the relationship between the structure and the function of noggin, and elucidate the possible mechanism responsible for noggin-BMP4 interaction, we generated three noggin mutants, C168S, C174S and C197S, by using a site-directed mutagenesis method. Ectopic expression of wild-type (WT) noggin, C174S or C197S, in Xenopus animal caps (ACs) by mRNA injection converted the explants (prospective ectoderm) into neural tissue, as indicated by the neural-like morphology and expression of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in the ACs. In contrast, ACs expressing C168S suffered an epidermal fate similar to the control caps. Similarly, among the three mutants, only C168S lost the dorsalizing function. These studies highlight the critical role played by Cys168 in noggin‘s biological activities. It probably participates in the formation of an intermolecular disulfide bridge.

雌性延迟发育的蚜虫的性别分配

某些物种的蚜虫中,雌性个体成熟较晚,可以认为是雄性个体的“侄女”。当冬季即将来临,剩余时间就不能满足发育需求时,发育延迟了,发育延迟应当也终止了雌性功能上的投资。然而,最近的证明表明,雌性功能的投资并不停止。这种未预料到的发现可能归因于一种进化限制因素,归因于雄性个体在不同年龄阶段对配偶的竞争,或归因于不能预测导致随机非遗传多型性的最后期限。本文讨论了这三种可能性,最后一种可能性由于暂时性地解释了雌性功能中的连续投资而是一种可取的解释。尽管延缓发育和开始繁殖的最后期限常见于那些生活在严寒地区的、雌性发育迟缓的蚜虫,本文的观点也适合于一个性别成熟较晚的、具有繁殖最后期限的任何一个蚜虫物种。     

粽管巢蛛和拟水狼蛛对稻纵卷叶螟和稻褐飞虱捕食作用研究

应用二次正交旋转组合设计方法建立粽管巢蛛和拟水狼蛛对稻纵卷叶螟和稻褐飞虱捕食作用的数学模型。结果表明,粽管巢蛛是稻纵卷叶螟的重要天敌,粽管巢蛛和拟水狼蛛均是稻褐飞虱的重要天敌。当稻褐飞虱密度较高时,随着蜘蛛密度的增加,由于蜘蛛之间的干扰作用,导致稻褐飞虱被捕食量下降。     

木聚糖酶基因研究进展

半纤维素分解微生物在自然界碳素循环中起着重要作用,半纤维素是植物多糖的重要成分之一。木聚糖则是半纤维素的主要成分。木聚糖酶(EC3.2.1.8)可催化木聚糖的水解,在各种各样的生物体里都发现有木聚糖酶,如细菌、放线菌、真菌。在过去几十年里,有超过100个木聚糖酶基因被克隆进同源或异源宿主中,其目的是为了超表达木聚糖酶和改变它们的特性以适应商业应用。木聚糖酶的应用极其广泛,可用于生物转化、造纸、食品、饲料、能源、纺织等行业。尤其是迫切的环境问题将进一步促进木聚糖酶研究的开展。
