血清前白蛋白、总胆汁酸、AST/ALT比值在肝硬化分级中的诊断意义

目的 探讨肝硬化患者血清前白蛋白(PA)、总胆汁酸(TBA)、(天)门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)/丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)与肝硬化Child-Pugh分级的关系.方法 测定肝硬化患者的PA、TBA、AST和ALT水平.结果 血清PA在肝硬化A、B、C级之间比较明显降低;血清白蛋白在肝硬化患者中降低,A级与B、C级之间差异有统计学意义,而B、C级之间差异无统计学意义;TBA在肝硬化A、B、C级之间升高,但A、B级间比较差异无统计学意义,在B、C级之间差异有统计学意义;AST/ALT比值升高,A、B、C级之间比较,差异有统计学意义.结论 PA、TBA、AST/ALT比值对判断肝硬化程度具有重要的指导意义,可作为肝硬化患者病情诊断和预后判断的重要指标.     

Host plant mediation of diapause induction in the cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi Baly （Coleoptera： Chrysomelidae）

The cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringiBaly （Coleoptera： Chrysomelidae）, is a serious pest of crucifers in China, undergoing an imaginal summer and winter diapause in the soil. The effects of host plants on diapause incidence were tested in the beetle. The ratio of adults entering diapause was significantly low when they fed on the mature leaves of Chinese cabbage Shanghaiqin （Brassica chinesis var communis） than those feeding on Chinese cabbage Suzhouqin （Brassica chinesis var communis）, radish （Raphanus sativus var longipinnatus） and stem mustard （Brassicajuncea vat tumida） at 25℃ combined with 13：11 （L： D） h. Fewer adults entered diapause on young leaves compared to physiologically aged and mature radish leaves at 25℃ combined with 13：11 （L： D） h. The effect of host plant species on diapause induction was also evident under continuously dark rearing conditions or at different photoperiods. These experimental results demonstrate that host plant mediation of diapause induction exists in the cabbage beetle. However, at temperatures ≤20℃ or photoperiods of 16：8 （L： D） h combined with 25℃, all individuals entered diapause regardless of the host plants, indicating that the effects of host plants on diapause induction could be expressed only within a limited range of temperatures and photoperiods.     

Isolation and functional analysis of a Brassica juncea gene encoding a com-ponent of auxin efflux carrier

Polar auxin transport plays a divergent role in plant growth and developmental processes including root and embryo development, vascular pattern formation and cell elongation. Recently isolated Arabidopsis pin gene family was believed to encode a component of auxin efflux carrier (G(?)lweiler et al, 1998). Based on the Arabidopsis pin1 sequence we have isolated a Brassica juncea cDNA (designated Bjpin1), which encoded a 70-kDa putative auxin efflux carrier. Deduced BjPIN1 shared 65% identities at protein level with AtPINl and was highly homologous to other putative PIN proteins of Arabidopsis (with highest homology to AtPIN3). Hydrophobic analysis showed similar structures between BjPINl and AtPIN proteins. Presence of 6 exons (varying in size between 65 bp and 1229 bp) and 5 introns (sizes between 89 bp and 463 bp) in the genomic fragment was revealed by comparing the genomic and cDNA sequences. Northern blot analysis indicated that Bjpin1 was expressed in most of the tissues tested, with a relatively h

偏分离分子标记的作图方法

对取自MAPMAKER软件小鼠F2群体(含333个体)的5个RFLP连锁标记数据作了共显性分子标记偏分离的分析。先确定选择类型的方程组(配子或合子),随后采用Newton-Raphson迭代法估算标记间的重组值。在构建分子标记遗传图谱时,如果两个相邻标记均存在偏分离,最好采用纳入偏分离因子的估算方法。在估计F2群体标记间偏分离重组距离上,用连续χ2检测方法比传统χ2检测更为准确。Abstract The comparative analysis of segregation distortions of the codominant markers data presented in software MAPMAKER are made, where five RFLPs markers involve in a mouse F2 population with 333 individuals. The successive χ2 test begins with the determinations of gametic or zygotic selection types, followed by the estimation of recombination fractions between two markers with the Newton-Raphson iteration method. It is better to use the molecular marker showing segregation distortion for constructing a genetic map, in the case of seriously skew segregation between both the adjoining markers. The successive χ2 test provides better accuracy than that of classical χ2 test for the estimation of the recombination values in F2 population with segregation distortion.
