A novel strategy to inhibit the reproduction and translation of hepatitis C virus

Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a positive single-stranded RNA virus, is a major cause of liver disease in humans. Herein we report a novel strategy to inhibit the reproduction and translation of HCV using a short RNA, named an Additional RNA, to activate the endonuclease activity of Argonaute 2 (Ago2). In the presence of the Additional RNA, the HCV genome RNA has the requisite 12 nucleotides of base-pairing with microRNA-122. This activates the endonuclease activity of Ago2, resulting in cleavage and release of the HCV genome RNA from Ago2 and microRNA-122. The free HCV genome RNA would be susceptible to intracellular degradation, effectively inhibiting its reproduction and translation. This study presents a new method to inhibit HCV that may hold great potential for HCV treatment in the future.     

葡萄耐羟脯氨酸变异细胞系的筛选及其特性研究（简报）

葡萄愈伤组织经甲基磺酸乙酯（EMS）诱变处理后,用羟脯氨酸（HMP）作为选择压力,筛选出耐HYP的变异细胞系。该变异系游离脯氨酸含量比正常细胞系高4．7倍,并且表现出很强的耐NaCl和PEG能力。在盐胁迫下,变异系吸收的K 和Na 含量均高于正常系,而K ／Na 比值仍与正常系相近。

交错延伸剪接PCR是一种用于分子进化研究的DNA改组技术.本实验利用其原理,将已获得的油菜花粉育性基因MS2Bnap有部分序列重叠的三段PCR产物作为模板进行扩增,获得了花粉育性基因MS2Bnap的全长cDNA序列。 Abstract:SOE by PCR is one of DNA shuffling technologies for molecular evolution engineering.Using the theory of SOE by PCR,the full-length cDNA sequence of pollen fertility gene MS2Bnap of Brasscia napus was amplified with three obtained fragments as templates which have part overlapping of MS2Bnap sequence.     

盐胁迫对扁桃光合特性和叶绿体超微结构的影响

温室条件下,分别用浓度为150、300、350 mmol/L的NaCl和Na2SO4处理‘石头扁桃’和‘桃扁桃’实生苗植株,处理10 d后分别测定其叶片叶绿素含量、净光合速率、气孔导度、细胞间隙CO2浓度,并观察叶绿体超微结构的变化。研究发现:(1)盐胁迫下,‘石头扁桃’和‘桃扁桃’chl a、chl b均在低浓度盐区含量最高,而在高浓度盐区含量最低,Na2SO4处理区chl a、chl b含量均低于NaCl处理区;(2)‘石头扁桃’和‘桃扁桃’叶片净光合速率随盐浓度的增加而下降,‘石头扁桃’下降的幅度较大;(3)‘桃扁桃’叶片细胞间隙CO2浓度随盐浓度的增加而升高,但‘石头扁桃’叶片细胞间隙的CO2浓度变化没有稳定的规律;(4)2个品种的叶片气孔导度均随盐浓度的增加而降低;(5)盐胁迫后,叶绿体基粒、基质片层扭曲,类囊体肿胀;随盐浓度的增加,形变加剧,叶绿体由椭圆形肿胀成圆形,叶绿体膜解体,且‘石头扁桃’叶绿体对盐胁迫比较敏感。综合分析发现,2种盐胁迫对植物造成伤害的机理不同,‘石头扁桃’的耐盐能力较差。     

A histological and biomechanical study of bone stress and bone remodeling around immediately loaded implants

Immediate loading(IL)increases the risk of marginal bone loss.The present study investigated the biomechanical response of peri-implant bone in rabbits after IL,aiming at optimizing load management.Ninety-six implants were installed bilaterally into femurs of 48 rabbits.Test implants on the left side created the maximal initial stress of 6.9 and 13.4 MPa in peri-implant bone and unloaded implants on the contralateral side were controls.Bone morphology and bone-implant interface strength were measured with histological examination and push-out testing during a 12-week observation period.Additionally,the animal data were incorporated into finite element(FE)models to calculate the bone stress distribution at different levels of osseointegration.Results showed that the stress was concentrated in the bone margin and the bone stress gradually decreased as osseointegration proceeded.A stress of about 2.0 MPa in peri-implant bone had a positive effect on new bone formation,osseointegration and bone-implant interface strength.Bone loss was observed in some specimens with stress exceeding 4.0 MPa.Data indicate that IL significantly increases bone stress during the early postoperative period,but the load-bearing capacity of peri-implant bone increases rapidly with an increase of bone-implant contact.Favorable bone responses may be continually promoted when the stress in peri-implant bone is maintained at a definite level.Accordingly,the progressive loading mode is recommended for IL implants.     

EFFECTS OF GEOGRAPHIC FACTORS AND HUMAN ACTIVITY ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF VEGETATION IN CHINA

Geographic or environmemtal factors affecting the distribution of vegetation are many and diverse, often instrically mixed and interdependent.Either singly or in combination,the various geographic factotrs may affect the presence or absense of various plant community. Alhough it is enormously complex,the immediate vehicles of influence are limited, being light, temperature, water, mineral food, oxygen, carbon dioxide.Except the last two ones being comparatively stable on the globe, the former four ones are affected by the following geographic factors:
