体液酸碱平衡的维持

正常人体体液的pH值常稳定在7.35—7.45范围内,平均为7.4。维持体液酸碱度的相对衡定,对人体正常生理活动是非常重要的。本文拟就体液酸碱平衡的维持做一简单介绍。缓冲系统缓冲系统是维持体液酸碱平衡的重要因素之一,每个缓冲系统都是由几对具有缓冲作用的物质(缓冲对)所组成,每一“缓冲对”又都是由一种弱酸和这种弱酸的碱性盐组成。人体组织和血液内的缓冲系统可分为三类: 1.碳酸氢盐系统包括 NaHCO_3/H_2CO,(存于血浆内)和KHCO_3/H_2CO_3(存于细胞内)。 2.磷酸盐系统包括 Na_2HPO_4/NaH_2PO_4     

山西庞泉沟长尾山椒鸟种群数量

我们于1982～1987年的4～9月,在山西省庞泉沟自然保护区,对长尾山椒鸟(Pericr-ocotus ethologus)的种群数量作了初步观察。本区位于吕梁山中段(东经111°21′～111°33′,北纬37°45′～37°55′。面积10,443.5公顷),其自然概况见刘焕金等(1986),本文不另赘述。一、迁徒季节长尾山椒鸟六年(1982～1987)迁徙情况是:每年迁来本区的时间最早为4月17～23日,其年间差别1～6天,最晚迁离日期为9月22～28日,年间差异为1～6天。种群居留期158～159天;迁离后的间隔期为206～207天。种群此地的居留时间相对稳定。二、种群数量的年变动逐年数量统计结果…     

理解运动行为抑制调控的新视角：乙酰胆碱门控氯离子通道受体

Acetylcholine, the first identified neurotransmitter, plays crucial roles in various brain functions. One well-known case is its involvement as an activating neurotransmitter in the regulation of locomotion. However, its inhibitory regulatory role, particularly in locomotion, remains poorly understood. In a study conducted by Polat et al., the authors investigated the inhibitory role of acetylcholine in locomotion in C. elegans. In this organism, the acetylcholine-gated chloride channel receptor consists of four subunits. The authors thoroughly examined the loss-of-function of each subunit in movement regulation. Interestingly, the mutant worms were still capable of performing various movements such as forward, backward crawling, and turning, suggesting that the overall movement was not significantly affected. However, quantitative behavior analysis revealed subtle yet significant differences in the timing and postures of the movement in these mutants. Furthermore, the authors employed optogenetics to stimulate a specific neuron involved in backward crawling and demonstrated that the loss-of-function of the receptors in individual neurons affects the transitioning between locomotion modes. This work provides evidence for the inhibitory regulatory role of acetylcholine in locomotion. The loss-of-function of acetylcholine-gated chloride channel receptors likely disrupts the balance of neuronal and circuit physiology, thereby affecting the regulation of locomotion. Moreover, this study highlights the powerful role of quantitative behavior analysis in discovering and understanding more sophisticated functions of neural circuits.

冻土甲烷循环微生物群落及其对全球变化的响应

冻土是陆地生态系统中最容易受到全球气候变化影响的碳库,既发挥着碳源又起着碳汇的作用。人们非常关注贮存于冻土中有机碳的最终归宿,是因为全球气候变暖会加快冻土的解冻,释放更多的温室气体（二氧化碳和甲烷）到大气中,从而进一步加剧温室效应。据估计每年从北半球冻原陆地生态系统释放进入大气的甲烷约占全球自然界释放甲烷总量的25%。研究证实冻土生物源甲烷的产生和消耗分别由耐(嗜)低温的产甲烷菌(methanogens)和甲烷氧化菌(methanotrophs)介导。鉴于冻土甲烷循环对全球甲烷平衡的显著作用以及在冻土生物地球化学循环中的重要功能,对介导冻土甲烷循环的产甲烷菌和甲烷氧化菌的研究将有助于更好地评估冻土生态系统对全球气候变化的响应和影响,本文就冻土甲烷循环过程、产甲烷菌、甲烷氧化菌的群落结构、活动、生态功能及其对气候和环境变化的响应机制的最新研究进行综述,以期为我国开展冻土甲烷循环机理研究提供支持。
