Establishing a minimum dataset for soil quality assessment based on soil properties and land-use changes

To assess soil quality, a minimum dataset (MDS) of soil properties has to be proposed commonly through calculating the total load of each candidate soil parameter on all of the qualified principal components by use of principal component analysis (PCA) and Norm-value computation. Considering intensive land-use changes, the method introduced in this study on MDS establishment integrates the quantified contributions of land-use type and land-use duration on each soil parameter by using multivariate analysis and mean multiple comparison. In this way, a MDS maximally representing all candidates with minimal loss of the soil quality information contained by those non-MDS soil parameters is established. The MDS proposed can not only well integrate the quantified influence of land-use changes and land-use duration on soil parameters, but is also quite flexible and extendable with the potential to be extrapolated to assess soil quality in other regions. Based on two sets of soil database obtained separately in 1985 and 2004, two MDSs established are compared with each other. It is found that only quite a small change in MDS components occurs during a 20-year period. For a better assessment of soil quality, it seems necessary to examine on what kind of temporal scale and how much MDS will change for a site-specific area with intensive land-use changes.

Express hybridization of molecular colonies with fluorescent probes

DNA colonies formed during PCR in a polyacrylamide gel and RNA colonies grown in an agarose gel containing Qβ replicase can be identified using the procedure of transfer of molecular colonies onto a nylon membrane followed by membrane hybridization with fluorescent oligonucleotide probes. The suggested improvements significantly simplify and shorten the procedure. By the example of a chimeric AML1-ETO sequence, a marker of frequently occurring leukemia, the express hybridization method was shown to allow the rapid identification of single molecules and the determination of titers of DNA and RNA targets. Hybridization with a mixture of two oligonucleotide probes labeled with different fluorophores complementary to components of the chimeric molecule ensures the identification of molecular colonies containing both parts of the chimeric sequence and improves the specificity of diagnostics.     

Direct Evidence for Calpain Involvement in Apoptotic Death of Neurons in Spinal Cord Injury in Rats and Neuroprotection with Calpain Inhibitor

To demonstrate calpain involvement in neurodegeneration in rat spinal cord injury (SCI), we examined SCI segments for DNA fragmentation, neurons for calpain overexpression, neuronal death, and neuroprotection with calpain inhibitor (E-64-d). After the induction of SCI (40 g cm force) on T12, rats were treated within 15 min with vehicle (DMSO) or E-64-d. Sham animals underwent laminectomy only. Animals were sacrificed at 24 h, and five 1-cm long spinal cord segments were collected: two rostral (S1 and S2), one lesion (S3), and two caudal segments (S4 and S5). Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA samples isolated from the SCI segments showed both random and internucleosomal DNA fragmentation indicating occurrence of necrosis as well as apoptosis mostly in the lesion, moderately in caudal, and slightly in rostral segments from SCI rats. Treatment of SCI rats with E-64-d (1 mg/kg) reduced DNA fragmentation in all segments. The lesion and adjacent caudal segments (S3 and S4) were further investigated by in situ double-immunofluorescent labelings that showed increase in calpain expression in neurons in SCI rats and decrease in calpain expression in SCI rats treated with E-64-d. In situ combined TUNEL and double-immunofluorescent labelings directly detected co-localization of neuronal death and calpain overexpressin in SCI rats treated with only vehicle while attenuation of neuronal death in SCI rats treated with E-64-d. Previous studies from our laboratory indirectly showed neuroprotective effect of E-64-d in SCI rats. Our current results provide direct in situ evidence for calpain involvement in neuronal death and neuroprotective efficacy of E-64-d in lesion and penumbra in SCI rats.

大麻素抑制大鼠三叉神经节神经元ATP激活电流

本文在培养的大鼠三叉神经节(trigeminal ganglion,TG)神经元上采用全细胞膜片钳技术,探讨大麻素对大鼠TG神经元ATP激活电流(ATP-activated currents,IATP)的影响.结果显示(1)胞外给予ATP,大部分受检细胞(67/75,89.33%)可记录到一个内向电流,且具有剂量依赖性.该电流可被P2X嘌呤受体特异性拮抗剂PPADS所阻断.(2)预加WIN55212-2[大麻素受体1(cannabinoid receptor 1,CB1受体)激动剂]可对IATP产生抑制作用,此作用呈剂量依赖性,并可被CB1受体特异性拮抗剂AM281阻断.预加不同浓度的WIN55212-2(1x10-13、1x10-12、1x10-11、1x10-10、1x10-9和1x10-8mol/L)对IATP(1x10-4mol/L ATP)的抑制作用分别为(8.14±3.14)%、(20.11±2.72)%、(46.62±3.51)%、(72.16±5.64)%、(80.21±2.80)%和(80.59±3.55)%.(3)预加WIN55212-2后IATP的浓度-反应曲线明显下移;最大反应浓度时的IATP幅值减小了(58.02±4.21)%,而阈值基本不变;预加WIN55212.2前后曲线的EC50值非常接近(1.15x10-4mol/L vs 1.27x10-4 mol/L).(4)预加forskolin[腺苷酸环化酶(adenylyl cyclase,AC)激动剂]或8-Br-cAMP可以逆转WIN55212-2对IATP的抑制作用.以上结果表明,大麻素可能作用于CB1受体,通过抑制AC-cAMP-PKA途径发挥对IATP的抑制作用.     

Profiling plasma steroid hormones: a non-lethal approach for the study of skate reproductive biology and its potential use in conservation management

Information regarding sexual maturity and reproductive cycles in skates has largely been based on gross morphological changes within the reproductive tract. While this information has proved valuable in obtaining life history information, it also necessitates sacrificing the skates to obtain this data. In contrast, few studies have used circulating steroid hormones to establish when these batoids become reproductively capable or for the determination of reproductive cyclicity. This study summarizes our current knowledge of hormonal analyses in determining skate reproductive status and offers information that suggests analysis of circulating steroid hormone concentrations provide a means to determine size at sexual maturity and asses reproductive cycles without the need to sacrifice the skate.
