目的：观察Bcl-2 和COX-2 在正常宫颈和宫颈鳞癌中的表达情况,并探讨其与宫颈鳞癌发生发展的关系。方法：应用免疫组 织化学S-P法检测40 例宫颈鳞癌组织、10 例正常宫颈组织中Bcl-2 和COX-2 的表达情况。结果：(1)Bcl-2 在正常宫颈组织和宫颈 鳞癌组织中的阳性表达率分别为30.0%、72.5 %(P<0.05),而COX-2在正常宫颈组织和宫颈鳞癌组织中的阳性表达率分别为0.0 %、 60.0 %(P<0.05)。(2)在宫颈鳞癌中,Bcl-2 的表达与宫颈鳞癌的病理分级、临床分期以及淋巴结转移无关(P>0.05),而COX-2 的表达 与宫颈鳞癌的病理分级及淋巴转移有关(P<0.05),与临床分期无关(P>0.05)。(3)Spearman 等级相关性分析显示宫颈鳞癌组织中 Bcl-2 和COX-2的表达呈正相关(r=0.517,P<0.01)。结论：Bcl-2 和COX-2 在宫颈鳞癌中的表达升高并呈显著正相关,且COX-2的 表达与宫颈鳞癌的淋巴转移有关,二者在宫颈癌的发生发展中可能起重要作用,有可能作为评估宫颈鳞癌淋巴结转移的参考指 标。     

Comparative genome sequence analysis of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and 9 other isolates of its genus for factors influencing codon and amino acid usage

In the present study, major constraints for codon and amino acid usage of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, Sulfolobus solfataricus, Sulfolobus tokodali, Sulfolobus islandis and 6 other isolates from islandicus species of genus Sulfolobus were investigated. Correspondence analysis revealed high significant correlation between the major trend of synonymous codon usage and gene expression level, as assessed by the “Codon Adaptation Index” (CAI). There is a significant negative correlation between Nc (Effective number of codons) and CAI demonstrating role of codon bias as an important determinant of codon usage. The significant correlation between major trend of synonymous codon usage and GC3s (G + C at third synonymous position) indicated dominant role of mutational bias in codon usage pattern. The result was further supported from SCUO (synonymous codon usage order) analysis. The amino acid usage was found to be significantly influenced by aromaticity and hydrophobicity of proteins. However, translational selection which causes a preference for codons that are most rapidly translated by current tRNA with multiple copy numbers was not found to be highly dominating for all studied isolates. Notably, 26 codons that were found to be optimally used by genes of S. acidocaldarius at higher expression level and its comparative analysis with 9 other isolates may provide some useful clues for further in vivo genetic studies on this genus.     

国产18种鳞盖蕨属植物叶表皮微形态特征及其系统学意义

鳞盖蕨属是一个自然类群,由于各类群之间的形态差异以及种内变异比较大,因此其分类一直存在争议。该研究利用光学显微镜(LM)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对鳞盖蕨属18种植物(含3变种)的叶表皮微形态进行了观察和比较,并结合形态学、孢粉学和分子系统学探讨其系统学意义。结果表明:在光学显微镜下,18种鳞盖蕨属植物叶上、下表皮的脉上均有毛,叶表皮细胞都为不规则形,垂周壁为深波状或波状; 气孔都分布在下表皮,气孔器类型主要有极细胞型和腋下细胞型两种,叶表皮微形态特征支持鳞盖蕨属是碗蕨科中的一个单系类群; 叶上、下表皮脉间毛的变异特征支持光叶鳞盖蕨、毛叶边缘鳞盖蕨和二回边缘鳞盖蕨处理为边缘鳞盖蕨变种; 在扫描电镜下,叶上表皮角质层多为脊状凸起,多数还具丝状纹饰,角质膜特征与叶片回数有一定的相关性; 共环极细胞型、聚腋下细胞型、不等细胞型和不规则四细胞型只在少数种出现,气孔外拱盖多数凹陷,光滑或有颗粒; 气孔外拱盖内缘平滑、浅波状或齿状; 保卫细胞两极大多数有“T”型加厚,不同种间叶表皮微形态特征表现出一定差异。该研究结果为其分类、演化、系统位置等进一步研究提供了参考。     

野生经济植物与水土保持

目前我国人均占有的水、土资源少的情况下,既加强水土保持,恢复原有的生态系统,又为山区经济发展创造条件,以达到人与自然的和谐发展的工作中,野生经济植物资源的合理利用有着特别重要的作用。第一,许多好的经济植物是当地的乡土植物,适应当地的气候、土壤条件,稍加人工抚育即可成活、生长和取得较好的效益。第二,实行谁种植、谁管理、谁受益的制度,管理的投入可以从收入中提取,以减少国家对水土流失治理的投入。第三,发展优良的经济植物,也给全社会增加吃、穿、用的各种物质资源,有些可以出口创汇,增加国家财富积累。发展山区野生经济植物,对治理水土流失和增加农民收入都有重要的现实意义。     

Characters of Leaf Epidermis and Their Systematic Significance in Menispermaceae

The epidermal characters of mature leaves of 29 genera, 50 species and 3 varieties (totally 56 samples) representing all the 5 tribes in the family Menispermaceae were examined under the light microscope. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The shape of the epidermal cells is polygonal or irregular, and the anticlinal walls are straight or waved in the family. In some genera a special arrangement of epidermal cells is named as “rosette-cell arrangement" for the first time. The lower epidermal cells were found to have a papilla in Stephania, Diploclisia and Legnephora . (2) In some genera, the anticlinal walls are oblique, rather than perpendicular, to the surface. (3) The stomatal apparatuses, generally restricted to the lower surface of the leaves, were assigned to anomocytic, staurocytic, cyclocytic, anisocytic and actinocytic types, and their distribution on the epidermis may be of diffuse pattern or island congregating pattern. (4) The cells of both upper and lower epidermis in the tribe Pachygoneae and Fibraureae are generally polygonal with straight or arched anticlinal walls, and the stomatal apparatuses are usually staurocytic and actinocytic. The cyclocytic stomatal apparatus was found only in two genera of the tribe Pachygoneae. By contrast, the epidermal cells of the tribes Anomospermeae, Tinosporeae and Menispermeae are generally irregular with waved anticlinal walls, and the stomatal apparatuses are predominantly anomocytic. These correlated characters are of much significance in delimiting tribes within the Menispermaceae, and also provide evidence for studies on systematic relationships of several genera.     

c-Src在上皮性卵巢癌组织中的表达及意义

目的:探讨上皮性卵巢癌组织中细胞肉瘤蛋白(Cell sarcoma,c-Src)的表达及其其临床意义。方法:通过Western blotting方法检测4例正常卵巢组织及21例上皮性卵巢组织中c-Src蛋白的表达。同时,通过免疫组化的方法检测26例正常卵巢组织和134例上皮性卵巢癌组织中c-Src的表达。统计分析c-Src的表达与上皮性卵巢肿瘤的临床病理因素之间的关系。结果:与正常卵巢组织相比,上皮性卵巢癌组织中c-Src蛋白的表达明显增高。c-Src蛋白的过表达与上皮性卵巢癌患者的临床病理分期、组织学分化程度、淋巴结转移情况及肿瘤复发之间差异存在统计学意义(P0.05),但与患者的年龄等因素均无显著相关性(P0.05)。此外,c-Src蛋白的高表达,与上皮性卵巢癌患者的预后密切相关(P0.05)。结论:c-Src在上皮性卵巢癌组织中过表达,且与肿瘤的恶性生物学行为密切相关,可能作为评估上皮性卵巢癌恶性程度、病情进展的重要指标及分子靶向疗法的新靶点。

Pigmented eyes,photoreceptor‐like sense organs and central nervous system in the polychaete Scoloplos armiger (Orbiniidae,Annelida) and their phylogenetic importance

The phylogenetic position of Orbiniidae within Annelida is unresolved. Conflicting hypotheses place them either in a basal taxon Scolecida, close to Spionida, or in a basal position in Aciculata. Because Aciculata have a specific type of eye, the photoreceptive organs in the orbiniid Scoloplos armiger were investigated to test these phylogenetic hypotheses. Two different types of prostomial photoreceptor‐like sense organs were found in juveniles and one additional in subadults. In juveniles there are four ciliary photoreceptor‐like phaosomes with unbranched cilia and two pigmented eyes. The paired pigmented eyes lie beside the brain above the circumoesophageal connectives. Each consists of one pigmented cell, one unpigmented supportive cell and three everse rhabdomeric sensory cells with vestigial cilia. During development the number of phaosomes increases considerably and numerous unpigmented sense organs appear consisting of one rhabdomeric photoreceptor cell and one supportive cell. The development and morphology of the pigmented eyes of S. armiger suggest that they represent miniaturized eyes of the phyllodocidan type of adult eye rather than persisting larval eyes resulting in small inverse eyes typical of Scolecida. Moreover, the structure of the brain indicates a loss of the palps. Hence, a closer relationship of Orbiniidae to Phyllodocida is indicated. Due to a still extensive lack of ultrastructural data among polychaetes this conclusion cannot be corroborated by considering the structure of the unpigmented ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptor‐like sense organs.
