神农架山地河岸带中珍稀植物群落特征

以领春木(Euptelea pleiospermum)、连香树(Cercidiphyllum japonicum)为优势种的珍稀植物群落是神农架山地中海拔地段河岸带中的典型群落类型.在神农架地区4大水系(沿渡河、香溪河、南河和堵河)的河岸带中共调查了48个样地,采用植物群落学方法,分析了该区山地河岸带中珍稀植物群落特征.结果表明:(1)群落中植物种类丰富,科属组成比较分散.共记录到维管束植物749种,隶属144科412属,其中每科仅记录到1个属的有72个科,每属仅记录到1个种的有256个属.(2)在科水平上,热带、亚热带成分与温带成分所占比例几乎相同,在属水平上温带成分占主导.东亚分布成分、中国特有成分所占比例较高,共记录了6个东亚特有科、50个东亚特有属,2个中国特有科、27个中国特有属.(3)中小型草质单叶的落叶阔叶高位芽和地面芽植物是决定该珍稀植物群落外貌的主要成分.(4)群落垂直结构复杂,成层现象明显.第一乔木亚层树冠层分布不连续,第一、第二乔木亚层和灌木层从高到低郁闭度逐渐增大,草本层盖度各样地差别较大,层间植物丰富.该山地河岸带中丰富的珍稀、特有和/或孑遗植物表现出该群落的古老、孑遗性.虽然该区多数珍稀植物为温带性质,但该珍稀植物群落整体上在种类组成、区系分布、生活型谱、叶片性质等方面表现出亚热带亚高山垂直带谱上常绿落叶阔叶混交林的过渡性特征.自上而下逐渐密集的群落垂直结构为幼苗稍耐荫、成年趋于喜光的珍稀植物的不同发育阶段提供了利于其生长的光环境.特殊的地理位置、独特的地形地貌和良好的水热条件使亚热带山地河岸带成为珍稀植物(尤其是孑遗植物)就地保护中一个关键而特殊的区域.

The effects of centrally administered fluorocitrate via inhibiting glial cells on working memory in rats

Although prefrontal and hippocampal neurons are critical for spatial working memory, the function of glial cells in spatial working memory remains uncertain. In this study we investigated the function of glial cells in rats’ working memory. The glial cells of rat brain were inhibited by intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of fluorocitrate (FC). The effects of FC on the glial cells were examined by using elec-troencephalogram (EEG) recordings and delayed spatial alternation tasks. After icv injection of 10 μL of 0.5 nmol/L or 5 nmol/L FC, the EEG power spectrum recorded from the hippocampus increased, but the power spectrum for the prefrontal cortex did not change, and working memory was unaffected. Fol-lowing an icv injection of 10 μL of 20 nmol/L FC, the EEG power spectra in both the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus increased, and working memory improved. The icv injection of 10 μL of 50 nmol/L FC, the EEG power spectra in both the prefrontal cortex and in the hippocampus decreased, and working memory was impaired. These results suggest that spatial working memory is affected by cen-trally administered FC, but only if there are changes in the EEG power spectrum in the prefrontal cortex. Presumably, the prefrontal glial cells relate to the working memory.     

番茄碱对棉铃虫的毒性作用机理初探

采取荧光光谱法分析了番茄碱及虫体内钙调蛋白的图谱,从钙调蛋白的角度探讨了番茄碱的作用机理.结果显示:(1)番茄碱对棉铃虫具有毒性,随浓度的增加及饲喂时间的延长,对棉铃虫的杀伤力增强;(2)番茄碱对虫体内钙调蛋白的影响较大,随番茄碱浓度的增加,钙调蛋白的含量逐渐降低;(3)钙离子的加入增强了钙调蛋白的刚性,荧光图谱出现了红移(由350 nm移至416.58 nm);(4)番茄碱的加入破坏了钙调蛋白-钙离子复合物的刚性,荧光图谱出现了蓝移(416.58 nm移至377.65 nm).以上可以说明,番茄碱可能作为钙调蛋白的拮抗剂,拮抗钙调蛋白被钙离子激活的位点,影响其与靶酶的结合而发挥作用.此项的研究为探讨番茄碱的杀虫机理提供了科学依据.

Effects of the anesthetic agent propofol on neural populations

The neuronal mechanisms of general anesthesia are still poorly understood. Besides several characteristic features of anesthesia observed in experiments, a prominent effect is the bi-phasic change of power in the observed electroencephalogram (EEG), i.e. the initial increase and subsequent decrease of the EEG-power in several frequency bands while increasing the concentration of the anaesthetic agent. The present work aims to derive analytical conditions for this bi-phasic spectral behavior by the study of a neural population model. This model describes mathematically the effective membrane potential and involves excitatory and inhibitory synapses, excitatory and inhibitory cells, nonlocal spatial interactions and a finite axonal conduction speed. The work derives conditions for synaptic time constants based on experimental results and gives conditions on the resting state stability. Further the power spectrum of Local Field Potentials and EEG generated by the neural activity is derived analytically and allow for the detailed study of bi-spectral power changes. We find bi-phasic power changes both in monostable and bistable system regime, affirming the omnipresence of bi-spectral power changes in anesthesia. Further the work gives conditions for the strong increase of power in the δ-frequency band for large propofol concentrations as observed in experiments.

Trade‐off relationship between productivity and thallus toughness in Laminariales (Phaeophyceae)

Trade‐off relationships are considered key to understanding the mechanisms supporting the coexistence of multiple species within kelp beds. Thus, information on trade‐offs is expected to contribute to conservation of kelp bed diversity. To test the existence of a trade‐off between productivity and thallus toughness, thallus traits and relationships between the traits were examined for seven species of Laminariales including 24 populations. For each population, photosynthetic capacity per unit biomass (as A _mass) and nitrogen (i.e., photosynthetic nitrogen‐use efficiency, PNUE), nitrogen content (as N _mass), thallus mass per unit thallus area (as TMA) and force required to penetrate the thallus (as F _p, a common index of leaf toughness in land plants by punch test) were determined. A _mass increased with increasing N _mass. Blades with high N _mass showed high A _mass. These blades may invest a large proportion of nitrogen to the photosynthetic parts, and consequently exhibit high metabolic rates. Moreover, blades with high N _mass tended to be associated with low TMA, and N _mass decreased with increasing TMA. A significant negative correlation was observed between TMA and A _mass because of the linkage of high A _mass with high N _mass and high N _mass associated with low TMA, while a significant positive correlation was observed between TMA and F _p. The two correlations indicate the existence of a trade‐off between productivity and thallus toughness in Laminariales. PNUE showed a significant negative correlation with TMA, which also showed a significant positive correlation with F _p as the index of thallus toughness, and therefore a trade‐off relationship between productivity and thallus toughness.
