气候环境因子和捕捞压力对南海北部带鱼渔获量变动的影响

带鱼(Trichiurus japonicas)是南海北部的重要经济鱼类,其渔获量的变化不仅与捕捞压力有关,还与气候环境变化有关.为了研究气候变化和捕捞对南海北部带鱼渔获量变动的影响,使用长时间序列渔业统计资料和气候变化数据对1956-2006年的南海北部带鱼渔获量变动进行了分析.南海北部的带鱼渔获量变化可划分成因捕捞效应所产生的趋势变化和因气候环境变化所导致的渔获量变动.捕捞效应所产生的趋势变化可用Fox模型拟合,Fox模型拟合结果显示南海北部带鱼渔获量与捕捞努力量关系显著(P＜0.01),说明捕捞压力的增长显著影响到南海北部带鱼渔获量的变化.移除捕捞效应所产生的趋势变化后,渔获量变动与中国南方降雨、南海北部海表水温、南海北部夏季季风以及南海北部冬季季风等气候因子呈显著正偏相关(P＜0.04),与热带气旋影响指数呈显著负偏相关(P＜0.03),这种相关说明南海北部带鱼渔获量变动还受气候环境因子的影响.南海北部带鱼渔获量可用捕捞努力量和气候变量来拟合,且拟合效果显著(R2=0.958,P＜0.01),表明南海北部带鱼渔获量的变动归因于捕捞压力的单调增长和气候环境的变化.在南海北部的捕捞压力维持在现有水平下,未来的气候变化和人类活动引起营养盐的增加都可能有利于南海北部带鱼渔业产量的增加,且由于未来极端天气事件的频繁发生,可能还会引起带鱼渔获量的变动幅度加剧.     

冻干加热处理凝血因子类制剂的病毒灭活验证

在病毒灭活验证过程中,比较了冻干后不同加热方法对凝血因子类制剂中伪狂犬病毒(PRV)的灭活效果,包括80℃干烤72h、100℃水浴加热30min以及100℃蒸汽加热30min方法。结果表明80℃干烤72h对制品中PRV灭活较彻底,另外两种方法对制品中PRV的灭活效果均不理想。     

Protective effects of zinc on cadmium toxicity in rodents

A study of acute and subacute toxicity of cadmium ions [Cd(II)] was carried out on male Swiss mice and Sprague-Dawley rats with and without previous administration of zinc chloride. The LD₅₀ of Cd(II) as cadmium sulfate (ip) was lower in animals previously given 10 mg/kg of zinc(II) chloride (sc). Factors such as animal weight variations, biochemical parameters, and accumulation patterns of Cd(II) and Zn(II) were taken into consideration when the subacute toxicity was evaluated. Alteration of the activities of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) was observed in short-term-exposure (<6 h) cases. These alterations reverted to normal after 1 wk. The activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the concentrations of cholesterol and triglycerides in serum are also changed, especially so in the groups given CdSO₄ alone. In the experimental groups treated with ZnCl₂ prior to administration of cadmium, proteinuria was detected 5 wk after the treatment. Also at 5 wk, both Zn-treated and nontreated groups showed an abnormally low liver mass with respect to total body mass. Both Cd and Zn are retained preferentially in the liver but show also in the kidneys. If CdSO₄ and ZnCl₂ are given simultaneously, especially after 1 wk of treatment, Cd is accumulated in greater amounts in these organs when compared to the groups given only cadmium sulfate.     

土壤和植物对冬虫夏草寄主昆虫规模化饲养的影响

冬虫夏草大量人工培植的关键之一是寄主昆虫的规模化饲养,本文对西藏林芝地区冬虫夏草生境中不同土壤基质在室内对蝙蝠蛾幼虫生长的影响以及寄主幼虫对5种植物的取食行为、嗅觉反应进行了系统研究。结果表明蝙蝠蛾幼虫偏好土质疏松、渗透性好的土壤,土壤因子中湿度和有机质含量与蝙蝠蛾幼虫存活率成正相关。蝙蝠蛾3龄幼虫对适生地植物的取食选择性与嗅觉反应趋性顺序为鹅绒委陵菜>珠芽蓼>小大黄>圆穗蓼>羊角天麻;进一步Spearman相关分析显示,幼虫对各植物的选择系数与可溶性糖（R=0.850,P<0.05）和粗蛋白（R=0.898,P<0.05）都存在显著的正相关关系,而与粗纤维（R=-0.952,P<0.05）有着显著的负相关关系,与粗灰分（R=-0.391,P=0.516）之间没有显著的相关关系;取食鹅绒委陵菜、珠芽蓼后的幼虫单头虫重显著大于取食其他植物的幼虫。这一研究结果为冬虫夏草寄主昆虫规模化饲养提供了理论依据。     

Genetic analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA of Lentinula edodes

Genetic analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of Lentinula edodes was carried out using rDNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) as genetic markers. Two compatible monokaryotic strains that differed in the endonuclease digestion patterns of their rDNA were used. The dikaryotic strain established by crossing them produced mixed RFLP patterns. Single-spore isolates derived from the dikaryotic strain showed three types of rDNA RFLP patterns: either one of the two parental types or a mixed type. From the frequency of the mixed type, the recombination value of rDNA tandem repeats was calculated to be 31.4%. Linkage analysis between rDNA and two incompatibility factors (A and B) revealed that rDNA was not linked to either factor. The rDNA genotypes did not affect mycelial growth among the single-spore isolates.     

过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α的研究进展

过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体（Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors,PPARs）作为核受体超家族的一员,其作用广泛,可调节脂肪细胞因子表达、抑制炎症因子、改善胰岛素抵抗等。PPARs有三种亚型,分别是：PPARα、PPARβ／δ和PPARγ。其中PPARα是PPARs最主要的亚型,主要分布在肝脏中。PPARα由不饱和脂肪酸或贝特类降脂药物等配体活化后形成异二聚体,调控靶基因的表达,发挥生物学功能。PPARα参与调节肝脏脂质吸收、脂肪酸氧化、酮体生成、胆固醇代谢等脂代谢过程,以及糖代谢、炎症反应和细胞增殖等,与脂肪性肝病、肝脏炎症反应、乙肝病毒复制和肝癌等肝脏疾病密切相关。本文对PPARα的结构、作用机制、生物学功能及其与肝脏疾病的关系进行综述。PPARα作为肝脏疾病一个新的治疗靶点,阐明其与肝脏疾病发生机制之间的关系,有助于为肝脏疾病的治疗提供新的途径。
