混合暴露条件下近江牡蛎对重金属的积累与释放特征

选择近江牡蛎作为试验生物,研究了混合暴露条件下8种重金属在近江牡蛎体内的积累和释放特征.结果表明: 近江牡蛎对重金属Pb、Cu、Ni、Cd、Cr和Hg有很强的累积能力,可较好地指示溶液中的重金属浓度水平,但对重金属Zn和As的积累能力很小,不能真实反映溶液中重金属Zn和As含量的变化水平.在随后35 d的释放阶段,8种重金属在近江牡蛎体内的含量没有明显变化,表明近江牡蛎对重金属的释放能力较差.双箱动力学模型可较好地反映混合暴露条件下近江牡蛎对重金属的积累特征,但不适合对其释放特征进行描述.

Bayesian semiparametric intensity estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes

In this work we propose a fully Bayesian semiparametric method to estimate the intensity of an inhomogeneous spatial point process. The basic idea is to first convert intensity estimation into a Poisson regression setting via binning data points on a regular grid, and then model the log intensity semiparametrically using an adaptive version of Gaussian Markov random fields to smooth the corresponding counts. The inference is carried by an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. Compared to existing methods for intensity estimation, for example, parametric modeling and kernel smoothing, the proposed estimator not only provides inference regarding the dependence of the intensity function on possible covariates, but also uses information from the data to adaptively determine the amount of smoothing at the local level. The effectiveness of using our method is demonstrated through simulation studies and an application to a rainforest dataset.     

Effect of exogenous melatonin on viability, ingestion capacity, and free-radical scavenging in heterophils from young and old ringdoves (Streptopelia risoria)

The decrease of melatonin production with aging contributes to the decline in immune function as organisms age. Treatment with the exogenously administered indoleamine restores the reduced immunological functions. Therefore, we investigated the effect of melatonin on viability, phagocyte ingestion capacity, and free radical generation levels of heterophils from young and old ringdove (Streptopelia risoria) aged 3–4 and 11–13 years, respectively. Animals received a single oral dose of melatonin 1 h before lights off for three consecutive days. Experiments were performed at the acrophases and nadirs of melatonin. Melatonin treatment significantly increased serum melatonin levels at the acrophases, but not at the nadirs of the two age groups. In both young and old animals there was increased heterophil viability at acrophases with respect to nadirs, and also increased cell resistance to oxidative stress in the old animals after the melatonin treatment. At acrophases, the index, percentage and efficiency of phagocytosis all increased significantly, and superoxide anion levels decreased significantly with respect to the nadir values of vehicle and melatonin-treated animals, the effect being greater in young than in old ringdoves. At the nadirs, no change was observed in any parameter analyzed. In both young and old animals, phagocytosis and melatonin were positively correlated, while superoxide anion levels and melatonin were negatively correlated. In conclusion, exogenous melatonin enhanced heterophil viability in old animals as well as increasing phagocytosis and free-radical scavenging in both age groups during the nocturnal period, accompanied by an increase in the levels of the indoleamine.     

基于层次分析法对白垩纪短脉螽科昆虫后足胫节端距的游泳能力检测

短脉螽科是直翅目昆虫的一个中生代灭绝类群,其最重要特征之一是后足胫节末端具有3—4根较长的距,可以分为长刺状、棒状和叶状等3种类型。在假设短脉螽科具有游泳能力条件下,利用层次分析法(Analytic Hierarchy Process,AHP)探讨短脉螽不同后足胫节端距类型对游泳能力的贡献。分析表明短脉螽科昆虫中,具有叶状端距的类型更有利于提高该类昆虫的游泳能力。短脉螽科昆虫后足端距的高分异度,表明该科昆虫在白垩纪的近水环境不同生态位中均具有较好的适应性。     

P300 Interacted With N-Myc and Regulated Its Protein Stability via Altering Its Post-Translational Modifications in Neuroblastoma

MYCN amplification is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in neuroblastoma (NB), but its protein product cannot be directly targeted because of protein structure. Thus, this study aimed to explore novel ways to indirectly target N-Myc by regulating its post-translational modifications (PTMs) and therefore protein stability. N-Myc coimmunoprecipitation combined with HPLC–MS/MS identified 16 PTM residues and 114 potential N-Myc-interacting proteins. Notably, both acetylation and ubiquitination were identified on lysine 199 of N-Myc. We then discovered that p300, which can interact with N-Myc, modulated the protein stability of N-Myc in MYCN-amplified NB cell lines and simultaneously regulated the acetylation level and ubiquitination level on lysine-199 of N-Myc protein in vitro. Furthermore, p300 correlated with poor prognosis in NB patients. Taken together, p300 can be considered as a potential therapeutic target to treat MYCN-amplified NB patients, and other identified PTMs and interacting proteins also provide potential targets for further study.
