为研究在饲料中添加不同水平的溶菌酶制品对吉富罗非鱼(GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus)生长性能、免疫-抗氧化功能和血清抗菌性能的影响, 选用平均体重为(11.350.08)g的吉富罗非鱼960尾, 随机分为6组(每组4个重复, 每个重复40尾), 分别投喂基础饲料(对照组)和5种添加水平分别为18、36、54、72和90 mg/kg溶菌酶制品的试验饲料, 养殖周期为60d。结果表明: (1) 54 mg/kg溶菌酶添加组鱼的生长性能和饲料利用情况最优, 增重率和蛋白质效率均显著高于对照组, 饲料系数显著低于对照组(P0.05); 肝体比随溶菌酶添加水平的增加呈现下降趋势, 90 mg/kg添加组显著低于对照组(P0.05); 脾脏指数在36和54mg/kg添加组显著低于对照组(P0.05); 全鱼粗蛋白和粗灰分含量在54 mg/kg添加组均呈现较高水平, 显著高于对照组(P0.05)。(2)溶菌酶添加水平对罗非鱼的免疫-抗氧化能力产生影响, 54和72 mg/kg添加水平能显著提高鱼体血清和肝脏的超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶活性, 降低丙二醛含量(P0.05); 肝脏溶菌酶活性在54和72 mg/kg添加组均显著高于对照组(P0.05), 而血清溶菌酶活性随溶菌酶添加水平的增加呈现下降趋势(L90组除外), 显著低于对照组(P0.05)。(3)血清抗菌试验显示, 54和72 mg/kg溶菌酶添加组罗非鱼对大肠杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、嗜水气单胞菌和溶藻弧菌的抑制能力显著高于对照组(P0.05), 而对枯草芽孢杆菌的抵抗能力最低, 比对照组分别低34.71%和42.21% (P0.05)。结果表明, 在本试验条件下, 在吉富罗非鱼饲料中添加54 mg/kg溶菌酶制品可以改善其生长性能; 当添加水平为54和72 mg/kg时, 罗非鱼的免疫-抗氧化能力和血清抗菌性能均得到了显著提高。     

干旱胁迫对枇杷生理特性及生长的影响

以3年生‘大五星’枇杷嫁接苗为试验材料,通过盆栽控水试验设置4个水分处理梯度:对照(CK)、轻度胁迫(LS)、中度胁迫(MS)和重度胁迫(SS),研究不同程度土壤干旱对枇杷幼树的生长和生理特性的影响。结果显示:(1)枇杷的株高、地上和地下生物量随干旱胁迫的增强呈下降趋势。(2)在轻度和中度胁迫下叶片叶绿素含量增加,随着土壤水分的减少,叶绿素含量和叶片相对含水量(LRWC)均显著下降。(3)叶片净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)和气孔导度(Gs)随着干旱胁迫的加剧均显著下降,其中Gs下降幅度最大,而胞间CO2浓度(Ci)则表现为先下降后上升,重度胁迫时叶片的水分利用率(WUE)最低。(4)干旱的加重使叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化物酶(POD)的活性呈现先增加后降低的趋势,过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性在轻度胁迫下最为活跃但在重度胁迫时显著降低,丙二醛(MDA)含量在中度胁迫第10天开始显著升高。(5)随干旱胁迫的加剧游离脯氨酸(Pro)含量增加且在重度胁迫第10天达到最大值,而可溶性蛋白(SP)含量在胁迫后期与对照无显著差异,可溶性糖(SS)含量在重度胁迫后期达到峰值且与对照差异显著。研究表明,在轻度和中度干旱胁迫下,枇杷叶片光合作用受到抑制,但能够积极调控抗氧化酶的活性和渗透调节物质的含量等来增强耐受性,而重度胁迫下,叶片膜系统和光合系统受到损伤,枇杷生长受到严重抑制。     

Assessment of physical activity of the human body considering the thermodynamic system

Correctly dosed physical activity is the basis of a vital and healthy life, but the measurement of physical activity is certainly rather empirical resulting in limited individual and custom activity recommendations. Certainly, very accurate three-dimensional models of the cardiovascular system exist, however, requiring the numeric solution of the Navier–Stokes equations of the flow in blood vessels. These models are suitable for the research of cardiac diseases, but computationally very expensive. Direct measurements are expensive and often not applicable outside laboratories. This paper offers a new approach to assess physical activity using thermodynamical systems and its leading quantity of entropy production which is a compromise between computation time and precise prediction of pressure, volume, and flow variables in blood vessels. Based on a simplified (one-dimensional) model of the cardiovascular system of the human body, we develop and evaluate a setup calculating entropy production of the heart to determine the intensity of human physical activity in a more precise way than previous parameters, e.g. frequently used energy considerations. The knowledge resulting from the precise real-time physical activity provides the basis for an intelligent human–technology interaction allowing to steadily adjust the degree of physical activity according to the actual individual performance level and thus to improve training and activity recommendations.     

L.S. Vygotsky and the Theater

The article presents the analysis of L.S. Vygotsky's works dedicated to the theater arts and is organized according Vygotsky's different life and work stages. Meanwhile special attention is paid to the Gomel period during which a large number of reviews were written by Vygotsky and published in “Nash ponedel'nik” and “Polesskaia pravda” newspapers. Biographical facts are widely used in this analysis and help to clarify Vygotsky's interest in art. It is shown that even at the beginning of his oeuvre, he was interested not only in a range of problems in art, but also psychological problems related to art perception and creativeness. Vygotsky's usage of structural concept ideas about the peculiar properties of literary text composition are also explored. Vygotsky analyzes the socio-psychological mechanisms of theatrical art effect. Furthermore, those areas which are widely used by Vygotsky in determining the characteristics of cast reincarnation are examined. Special emphasis is placed on the different elements of the actor techniques (speech, movement, emotional expression, acting personality and etc.). Materials are widely used in this study and help identify the socio-cultural context that defined Vygotsky's values at different stages of his work, related to his drama criticism and his formation as a professional psychologist.

本研究采用响应面设计优化超声辅助提取车前总黄酮的最佳条件,然后用此条件提取大车前和平车前总黄酮,并探究大孔树脂纯化对三种车前草总黄酮抗氧化活性的影响。结果表明,在超声温度60℃、乙醇浓度70%的条件下,车前总黄酮最佳提取工艺参数为液料比20:1 m L/g、超声时间80 min、超声功率210 W,车前、大车前和平车前的总黄酮得率分别为5.04%、2.86%和1.22%。无论是纯化前还是纯化后,大车前总黄酮的还原力和对羟基自由基的清除作用最强,平车前最弱;车前总黄酮对DPPH自由基的清除作用最大,平车前最弱。纯化前后的还原力和对DPPH自由基、羟基自由基的清除作用都接近Vc的水平。     

Enzymatic activity of palmitoyl‐protein thioesterase‐1 in serum from schizophrenia significantly associates with schizophrenia diagnosis scales

Genome‐wide association studies have confirmed that schizophrenia is an inheritable multiple‐gene mental disorder. Longitudinal studies about depression, first episode psychosis (FEP) and acute psychotic relapse have mostly searched for brain imaging biomarkers and inflammatory markers from the blood. However, to the best of our knowledge, the association between enzymatic activities with diagnosis or prediction of treatment response in people with schizophrenia has barely been validated. Under the Longitudinal Study of National Mental Health Work Plan (2015‐2020), we have studied a subsample of approximately 36 individuals from the cohort with data on palmitoyl‐protein thioesterase‐1 enzymatic activity from FEP and performed a bivariate correlation analysis with psychiatric assessment scores. After adjusting for sex, age, body mass index (BMI) and total serum protein, our data demonstrated that PPT1 enzymatic activity is significantly associated with schizophrenia and its Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores. This longitudinal study compared the PPT1 enzymatic activity in FEP schizophrenia patients and healthy volunteers, and the former exhibited a significant 1.5‐fold increase in PPT1 enzymatic levels (1.79 mmol/L/h/mL, and 1.18 mmol/L/h/mL; P < 0.05; 95% CI, 2.3‐2.9 and 1.4‐1.8). The higher PPT1 enzymatic levels in FEP schizophrenia patients were positively associated with larger PANSS scaling scores (r = 0.32, P = 0.0079 for positive scaling; r = 0.41, P = 0.0006 for negative scaling; r = 0.45, P = 0.0001 for general scaling; and r = 0.34, P = 0.0048 for PNASS‐S scaling). Higher enzymatic PPT1 in FEP schizophrenia patients is significantly associated with increased PANSS scaling values, indicating more serious rates of developing psychosis. Enzymatic activity of PPT1 may provide an important new view for schizophrenia disorders.     

Mouse knockout of guanylyl cyclase C: Recognition memory deficits in the absence of activity changes

Guanylyl cyclase C (GC‐C) is found in brain regions where dopamine is expressed. We characterized a mouse in which GC‐C was knocked out (KO) that was reported to be a model of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We re‐examined this model and controlled for litter effects, used 16 to 23 mice per genotype per sex and assessed an array of behavioral and neurochemical outcomes. GC‐C KO mice showed no phenotypic differences from wild‐type mice on most behavioral tests, or on striatal or hippocampal monoamines, and notably no evidence of an ADHD‐like phenotype. KO mice were impaired on novel object recognition, had decreased tactile startle but not acoustic startle, and females had increased latency on cued training trials in the Morris water maze, but not hidden platform spatial learning trials. Open‐field activity showed small differences in females but not males. The data indicate that the GC‐C KO mouse with proper controls and sample sizes has a moderate cognitive and startle phenotype but has no ADHD‐like phenotype.
