氮限制与UV辐射对假微型海链藻光合特性的耦合效应

分析了不同氮水平下硅藻假微型海链藻(Thalassiosira pseudonana(Hustedt) Hasle et Heimdal CCMP 1335)对UV辐射的光合响应。结果表明：UV辐射显著抑制假微型海链藻PSII的最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m),且氮限制加剧该抑制效应;氮限制条件下藻细胞反应中心净关闭速率(M_o)升高,Q_A^-向Q_B的电子传递效率(ψ_o)下降,对光能的吸收效率(α)下降,从而使得藻细胞对UV辐射的耐受能力降低;UV辐射下,尤其是氮限制时,藻细胞PSII的修复速率与损伤速率(r/k)的比值显著降低,表明UV辐射通过对修复过程的抑制,使得两者耦合对假微型海链藻的光合抑制效应加剧;氮限制与UV辐射的耦合作用显著降低假微型海链藻的光合能力,从而影响其初级生产。

Experimental study of rat beta islet cells cultured under simulated microgravity conditions

To observe the effects of simulated microgravity on beta islet cell culture, we have compared the survival rates and the insulin levels of the isolated rat islet cells cultured at micro- and normal gravity conditions. The survival rates of the cells cultured were determined by acridine orange-propidium iodide double-staining on day 3, 7 and 14. The morphology of the cells was observed by electron microscopy. Insulin levels were measured by radio immuno assays. Our results show that the cell number cultured under the microgravity condition is significantly higher than that under the routine condition (P<0.01). Some tubular structure shown by transmission electron microscopy, possibly for the transport of nutrients, were formed intercellularly in the microgravity cultured group on day 7. There were also abundant secretion particles and mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the cells. Scanning electron microscopy showed that there were holes formed between each islet, possibly connecting with the nutrient trans     

Ultrasound／Microbubble Enhances Foreign Gene Expression in ECV304 Cells and Murine Myocardium

The success of gene therapy is largely dependent onthe development of vectors or vehicles that can selectivelyand efficiently deliver a therapeutic gene to cells or targetissues with minimal toxicity. Viruses are efficient transducing vectors. However, the safety concerns regardingthe use of virus vector in human make nonviral deliverysystem an attractive focus. Nonviral vectors are particularly suitable with respect to the simplicity of use, possibility of large-scale production and lack of s…     

Intermediate fertile Triticum aestivum （＋）Agropyron elongatum somatic hybrids are generated by low doses of UV irradiation

We report the production and characterization of somatic hybrids between Triticum aestivum L. and Agropyron elongatum (Host) Nevishi (the synonym is Thinopyrum ponticum). Asymmetric protoplast fusion was performed between Agropyron elongatum protoplasts irradiated with a low UV dose and protoplasts of wheat taken from nonregenerable suspension cultures. More than 40 green plantlets were obtained from 15 regenerated clones and one of them produced seeds. The phenotypes of the hybrid plants and seeds were intermediate between wheat and Agropyron elongatum. All of the regenerated calli and plants were verified as intergeneric hybrids on the basis of morphological observation and analysis of isozyme, cytological, 5SrDNA spacer sequences and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). RFLP analysis of the mitochondrial genome revealed evidence of random segregation and recombination of mtDNA.     

间断性人工重力作用对模拟失重大鼠股骨的防护效应

目的：比较三种间断性人工重力对抗措施对模拟失重大鼠的影响。方法：SD雄性大鼠30只,按体重配对后随机等分为5组：对照组（C）,悬吊组（S）,站立组（G1）,1.5G（G2）和2.6G人工重力组（G3）。对抗组大鼠每日分别给予1h的站立、1.5和2.6G人工重力作用。利用物理测量和三点弯曲等实验,观察了3周间断性人工重力对大鼠股骨生长、生物力学特性的影响。结果：与S组大鼠比较：G1组弹性载荷、最大和刚性系数显著恢复（P＜0.05）;G2组直径（P＜0.01）和干重、密度（P＜0.05）,弹性载荷和最大载荷显著提高（P＜0.05）;G3组弹性载荷和最大载荷显著恢复（P＜0.01）。结论：三种对抗措施均显著改善了尾吊大鼠承重骨的生长力学特性,而1.5G的1h/d人工重力作用是较理想的对抗方法。     

IRM-2近交系小鼠对电离辐射抗性的研究

血管紧张素Ⅱ对模拟缺血心室肌细胞L-型钙通道的影响

实验研究了血管紧张素II（AngⅡ)对模拟缺血心室肌细胞L－型钙离子通道的作用,用胶原酶酶解法急性分离豚鼠心室肌细胞,以全细胞膜片钳方法记录心室肌细胞的L－型钙电流（ICa L.)。采用低氧,无糖,高乳酸和酸中毒综合方式模拟缺血液灌流,造成心室肌细胞的模拟缺血,并在缺血的基础上继续用含100mmol/A AngⅡ灌流细胞,观察AngⅡ对模拟缺血心室肌细胞钙离子通道的影响,实验结果显示,模拟缺血时ICa.L峰值电流明显减小,最大激活电压为0mV,AngⅡ能抵抗模拟缺血对ICa,L的抑制效应,使ICa,L峰值电流增大,并使最大激活电压左移至－10mV。     

四周模拟失重大鼠后身动脉平滑肌细胞钾电流的改变

本文采用全细胞膜片钳方法观察4周尾部悬吊大鼠（tail-suspended rats,SUS)隐动脉及肠系膜的动脉第2-6级动脉分支血管平滑肌细胞（vascular smooth muscle cells,VSMCs)钾电流密度的变化,结果表明：SUS大鼠后身动脉VSMCs的静息电位（RP）较对照大鼠（CON）后身动脉VSMCs的RP更负,SUS组隐动脉和肠系膜小鼠后身动脉VSMCs的静息电位（RP）较对照大鼠（CON）后身动脉VSMCs的RP更负,SUS组隐动脉和肠系膜小动脉VSMCs的全细胞钾电流密度较CON组显著增加,其中,SUS组的隐动脉和肠系膜小动脉VSMCs的大电导钙激活钙离子通道（BKca)和电压激活钾离子通道（Kv)电流密度较CON组的BKca和Kv电流密度均显著增加,以上结果提示,VSMCs的超极化及进一步引起的通过电压依赖性钙离子通道的钙内流减少可能是模拟失重引起后身动脉反应性降低的电生理机制之一。     

紫外辐射诱发NIH3T3细胞调亡时DNA断裂的特性

用常规琼脂糖凝胶电泳ＵＶＢ照射后培养不同时间的ＮＩＨ３Ｔ３细胞ＤＮＡ,两个样本均未出现凋亡梯形带,而用相同条件处理拽明小鼠胸腺细胞ＤＮＡ出现的典型的梯形带。再用反转电场琼脂糖凝胶电泳（ＦＩＧＥ）ＵＶＢ照射后培养不同时间的ＮＩＨ３Ｔ３细胞ＤＮＡ,发现ＤＮＡ先断裂成低于２３ｋｂ的大分子片段,然后进一步断裂成小分子片段,但始终未出现梯形带,说明ＤＮＡ并不总是从核小体之间断裂的。
