电刺激猫小脑顶核对动脉血压和肾交感神经放电的影响

在38只麻醉及人工呼吸的猫,观察到电刺激小脑顶核嘴侧部能引起动脉血压显著升高;肾交感神经放电于刺激期间显著增加。去缓冲神经对刺激顶核所引起的血压反应的幅度和肾交感神经放电均无明显影响,但可明显延长血压反应升高相以及血压恢复期的时间。静脉注射氯庄定引起血压降低、心率减慢及肾交感神经放电的抑制,并能减弱刺激顶核引起的血压反应,但增强了刺激顶核引起的肾神经放电的变化。电解损毁延髓腹外侧面引起血压降低及肾交感神经放电的抑制,然而无论单侧还是双侧损毁延髓腹外侧面都不能阻断刺激顶核所引起的血压和肾交感神经放电的反应。以上结果表明,电刺激顶核能引起明显的心血管反应,其反应的下行性通路可能不通过延髓腹外侧面。     

内蒙古天然草原不同放牧压力下亚洲小车蝗的食性及营养生态位（英文）

植物表皮蜡质中的饱和链烷作为内源指示剂广泛用于评价放牧家畜的食性和食量, 但用于天然草原蝗虫食性的评价研究较少。为了探讨天然草原蝗虫的食性及其生态位变化, 本研究以内蒙古天然草原为研究对象, 于2003年7-8月沿降水梯度选择3种典型植物群落（小针茅Stipa klemenzii、 羊草Leymus chinensis和大针茅Stipa grandis群落）, 在每个植物群落不同放牧压力下小区随机做20个植被样方, 样方内植物齐地面刈割, 测定其地上生物量和物种多样性, 取主要植物种测定其链烷模式, 同时采集放牧小区优势蝗虫种亚洲小车蝗Oedaleus asiaticus的粪便, 测定其链烷模式, 运用链烷技术评价蝗虫的食性及其营养生态位。结果表明： 不同植物群落中优势牧草种类及其比例不同, 其链烷模式存在种间差异, 链烷技术可以评价亚洲小车蝗的食性。亚洲小车蝗的食性在不同植物群落及不同放牧压力下存在显著的差异, 在羊草和大针茅群落中, 亚洲小车蝗是禾草采食者, 主要采食羊草和糙隐子草Cleistogenes squarrosa, 且与绵羊的营养生态位重叠指数较低, 分别为0.0619和0.0172; 在小针茅群落中亚洲小车蝗是杂类草采食者, 主要采食无芒隐子草Cleistogenes songorica、 猪毛菜Salsola collina和小针茅, 且与绵羊的营养生态位重叠指数较高, 达到0.1815。因此, 放牧不仅改变了群落的植物种类组成, 而且直接影响了亚洲小车蝗的食物组成, 二者对食物资源利用存在一定程度的竞争。     

基于不同浓度变量的温带落叶阔叶林CO2储存通量的误差分析

利用帽儿山温带落叶阔叶林通量塔8层CO₂/H₂O浓度廓线的测定数据,比较分析了基于不同浓度变量\[密度(ρ_c)、摩尔分数(c_c)和混合比(χ_c)\]计算CO₂储存通量(F_s)的误差.结果表明： 通量观测的控制体积内部干空气储存量不为常数,其波动可引起CO₂分子进出控制体积,即干空气储存通量调整项(F_sd)的变化.在夜间以及昼夜转换期,F_sd相对于涡动通量而言较大,忽略F_sd将为森林与大气之间净CO₂交换量的计算带来误差.大气水热过程对F_s计算引起的误差包括3方面：空气温度变化引起的误差最大,比大气压强(P)的影响高1个数量级;水蒸气的影响在温暖湿润的夏季大于P的影响,但在寒冷干燥的冬季则相反; P的效应在全年均较低.基于ρ_c、c_c和χ_c计算F_s分别平均高估CO₂有效储存通量(F_{s_E})8.5%、0.6%和0.1%.在通量计算过程中,建议选择对大气水热过程守恒的χ_c计算F_s.     

电离辐射引起胃排空延迟机理的初步探讨

本文观察了800rad照射后胃肠肌电的变化及切斷内脏神经与电刺激迷走神经对官的影响,初步分析了电离辐射引起胃排空延迟的机理。结果是:800rad照后大鼠胃肠肌电的峰波平均振幅胃幽部窦部照后1小时至第4天明显降低(P<0.05);幽门括约肌政变不大;十二指肠球部照后第3～7天明显下降(P<0.01)。切断内脏神经后照射大鼠胃肠肌电的峰波平均振幅胃幽门窦部变化不大,幽门括约肌照后1小时至第5天明显升高(P<0.05),十二指肠球部照后第3～7天明显下降(P<0.05)。800rad照后第4天大鼠胃对电刺激迷走神经的反应性明显降低(P<0.01)。上述结果表明:照后胃排空延迟的原因不仅与神经-体液调节紊乱有关,而且与射线损伤了平滑肌,使其兴奋性暂时的功能性降低有关。此外照后由于十二指肠球部运动的变化而使内感受器对胃运动的调节发生紊乱也是值得重视的因素。     

Effects of climate change and horticultural use on the spread of naturalized alien garden plants in Europe

Climate warming is supposed to enlarge the area climatically suitable to the naturalization of alien garden plants in temperate regions. However, the effects of a changing climate on the spread of naturalized ornamentals have not been evaluated by spatially and temporarily explicit range modelling at larger scales so far. Here, we assess how climate change and the frequency of cultivation interactively determine the spread of 15 ornamental plants over the 21st century in Europe. We coupled species distribution modelling with simulations of demography and dispersal to predict range dynamics of these species in annual steps across a 250 × 250 m raster of the study area. Models were run under four scenarios of climate warming and six levels of cultivation intensity. Cultivation frequency was implemented as size of the area used for planting a species. Although the area climatically suitable to the 15 species increases, on average, the area predicted to be occupied by them in 2090 shrinks under two of the three climate change scenarios. This contradiction obviously arises from dispersal limitations that were pronounced although we assumed that cultivation is spatially adapting to the changing climate. Cultivation frequency had a much stronger effect on species spread than climate change, and this effect was non‐linear. The area occupied increased sharply from low to moderate levels of cultivation intensity, but levelled off afterwards. Our simulations suggest that climate warming will not necessarily foster the spread of alien garden plants in Europe over the next decades. However, climatically suitable areas do increase and hence an invasion debt is likely accumulating. Restricting cultivation of species can be effective in preventing species spread, irrespective of how the climate develops. However, for being successful, they depend on high levels of compliance to keep propagule pressure at a low level.

首次采用反相中压制备色谱从芦荟中一次分离制备得到芦荟苷A、B以及异芦荟色苷D。以库拉索芦荟丙酮粗提物为原料,采用中压制备色谱系统:SCO色谱柱(40 cm×26 cm,30～50μm),流动相甲醇-0.5%乙酸水(33∶67,V/V),流速20 mL/min,等度洗脱方式,柱温室温,检测波长254 nm,收集波长356 nm对芦荟样品进行分离制备,得到三种化合物单体。经高效液相色谱、紫外、红外、质谱及核磁共振等方法分析表明所得到的三种化合物分别是异芦荟色苷D、芦荟苷A和芦荟苷B,其纯度分别达到了98.0%,96.0%和98.9%。该方法简便,产品质量高,一次制备可以得到多种单体,为芦荟成分的测定与药理活性的研究提供了条件。     

自发性高血压大鼠中枢5－HT_（1A）受体的特性

本文用放射性配基［３Ｈ］８－ＯＨ－ＤＰＡＴ的结合实验显示,自发性高血大鼠（ＳＨＲ）海马、下丘脑及低位脑干的５－ＨＴ１Ａ受体结合位点数较正常Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠为多,其中以海马最为显著;脑干的５－ＨＴ１Ａ受体虽较正常Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠多,但不太明显。ＳＨＲ下丘脑中５－ＨＴ１Ａ受体除结合位点较正常Ｗｉｓｔａｒ鼠多外,亲和力也有增大。以上结果表明,ＳＨＲ与正常Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠之间各脑区中５－ＨＴ１Ａ受体的差别可能与高血压病的发生有关。     

Genetic diversity of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) infecting cucurbits

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV), a well-known Tobamovirus, infects cucurbits across the globe. To determine its current status, molecular characterization, genetic recombination, gene flow and selection pressure, 10 districts from Punjab province of Pakistan were surveyed and a total of 2561 cucurbits samples were collected during 2019–2020. These samples were subjected to virus-specific double antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) for the detection of CGMMV. The results revealed that viral disease was prevalent in all surveyed districts of Punjab with an overall 25.69% disease incidence. ELISA positive samples were further confirmed through RT-PCR and sequencing of coat protein (CP) cistron. Sequence analysis showed that the present studied CGMMV isolates have 96–99.5% nucleotide and 94.40–99.50% amino acid identities with those already available in GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis also revealed that understudied isolates were closely related with South Korean (AB369274) and Japanese (V01551) isolates and clustered in a separate clad. Sequence polymorphisms were observed in 663 bp of sequence within 31 CGMMV isolates covering complete CP gene. Total number of sites were 662, of which 610 and 52 sites were monomorphic and polymorphic (segregating), respectively. Of these polymorphic, 24 were singleton variable and 28 were parsimony informative. Overall nucleotide diversity (π) in all the understudied 31 isolates was 0.00010 while a total of 1 InDel event was observed and InDel Diversity (k) was 0.065. Haplotype diversity analysis revealed that there was a total 29 haplotypes with haplotype diversity (Hd) of 0.993458 in all the 31 isolates which provide evidence of less diversity among Pakistani isolates. The statistical analysis revealed the values 2.568, 5.31304 and 4.86698 of Tajima's D, Fu, & Li’s F* and D*, respectively, which witnessed the population of CGMMV was under balanced selection pressure.     

渗透压对硝化作用的影响

在气升式内循环硝化反应器中研究了渗透压对硝化作用的影响。保持进水氨氮浓度420mg·L-1,将进水渗透压逐渐从4.3×105Pa提高到18.8×105Pa,硝化反应器的氨氮转化率稳定在93%～100%。将进水渗透压进一步提高到19.2×105Pa,氨氮转化率降至69.2%。渗透压对硝化作用的影响具有突发性,临界值在18.8×105～19.2×105Pa之间。受高渗透压胁迫时,活性污泥中硝化细菌的形态趋向单一,个体变小,内膜数量减少,并产生许多不明成分的颗粒状内含物。解除渗透压胁迫后,细胞结构恢复。添加钾离子能够缓解高渗压对硝化作用的影响。高渗透压胁迫以及解除渗透压胁迫可增强污泥硝化活性,比污泥氨氮转化率(污泥以SS计)分别从0.083kg·kg-1·d-1升至0.509kg·kg-1·d-1和2.569kg·kg-1·d-1,同比提高5.1倍和30.0倍。     

Blood pressure and hypertension in an American colony (Puerto Rico) and on the USA mainland compared, 1886–1930

We compare blood pressure and hypertension between adult men on the USA mainland and in Puerto Rico born during 1886-1930 to test hypotheses about the link between cardiovascular health and large socioeconomic and political changes in society: (a) 8853 men surveyed in Puerto Rico in 1965 and (b) 1449 non-Hispanic White men surveyed on the mainland during 1971-1975. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and hypertension were regressed separately on demographic and socioeconomic variables and cardiovascular risk factors. Mainland men not taking anti-hypertensive medication showed statistically significant improvements in systolic blood pressure and hypertension at the beginning of the century and men in Puerto Rico showed improvements in diastolic blood pressure but only during the last two quinquenniums. An average man born on the mainland during the last birth quinquennium (1926-1930) had 7.4-8.7 mmHg lower systolic blood pressure and was 61% less likely to have systolic hypertension than one born before 1901. On average Puerto Rican men born during 1921-1925 had approximately 1.7 mmHg lower diastolic blood pressure than men born before 1901. Analyses of secular trends in cardiovascular health complements analyses of secular trends in anthropometric indicators and together provide a fuller view of the changing health status of a population.
