川金丝猴粪尿中类固醇性激素抽提方法比较

本文旨在探讨川金丝猴粪尿中类固醇性激素的抽提方法, 实验比较了3 种尿液抽提溶剂和5 种粪便抽提方法的抽提回收率。结果显示, 以二氯甲烷为溶剂抽提雄猴尿液中的睾酮、雌猴尿液中的雌二醇和孕酮, 回收率分别为79.27%、73.39%和80.28%, 抽提效果较其它两种溶剂为好; 以乙醇加热法抽提雄猴粪便中的睾酮和雌二醇、雌猴粪便中的睾酮、雌二醇和孕酮, 回收率分别为1.33%、85.12%与67.41%、79.58%和77.71%, 抽提效果优于其它4 种方法,且该方法简便易于操作。实验表明, 以二氯甲烷和乙醇加热法分别抽提川金丝猴尿液和粪便中的类固醇性激素是较理想的抽提方法。     

BLyS与系统性红斑狼疮

淋巴细胞刺激因子BLys是肿瘤坏死因子家族的新成员,对于B细胞的发育增殖具有重要的作用。狼疮小鼠及系统性狼疮患体内BLys水平增高,阻断BLys的作用可以使使狼疮小鼠的病情缓解,存活时间延长。因此,BLys拮抗剂可能对系统性红斑狼疮患具有治疗作用。     

川金丝猴尿液中睾酮水平的季节性变化

The sichuan snub-nosed monkey(Rhinopithecus roxellanae),a spccics on the First Category State Key Protection List,is an endangered species endemic to China.This paper examines seasonal changes in urinary testosterone(T) levels in this species.Urine samples were collected by injectors from the cement floor of the monkey‘s enclosures in the early morning ,then stored in a freezer at -24℃.Urinary testosterone(T),was detected with radioimmunoassay (RIA) after being extracted by dichloromethane.The results show that the levels of urinary T varied widely over time and displayed seasonal variation that corresponded exactly with the monkey‘‘‘‘s sexual behavior.The mean value of T was 0.576-2.359ng/mgCr in the nonreproductive season and 36.483-47.889ng/mgCr in the reproductive season.The latter was 14.84-83.14 times as high as that in the nonreproductive season.Peak T values in the nonreproductive and in reproductive season were 0.82-10.60ng/mgCr and 237.841-326.231ng/mgCr respectively.Peak values in the reproductive season were 30.78-290.05 times that of the nonreproductive season.This seasonal change in T levels may be the main factor determining seasonal differences in sexual motivation.copulation and conception rate in these monkcys.In addition.co-habitation with females in the breeding season produces a sharp increase in t level in male monkcys;there is a causal relationship between sexual activity and T secretion [Acta Zoologica Sinica 49(3):393-398,2003]。
