蚊香及电热除蚊器防蚊的某些特性

<正> 民间最古老的防蚊方法,系采用多种野生植物如艾、苦蒿、草烟梗、野菊花等枝叶,点燃熏烟驱虫。自发展蚊香之后,至第二次世界大战前,很多发展中国家大多用具有安全、快速击倒的天然除虫菊制作蚊香。1949年人工合成了丙烯菊酯,便取代了大部分天然除虫菊用于蚊香制造。由于开发了稳定的拟除虫菊醋,随之日本电热、化学热驱虫器开始问世。电热除蚊器(electric mosquito destroyer)亦称电器蚊香,系由含加热电阻的恒温加热器和熏蒸药片两部     

高等植物叶片中的硝酸还原酶活性稳定因子

从小麦、油菜、浮萍、番茄、烟草的叶片中分离得到NR-SF。不同植物材料中NR及NR-SF能起交叉反应;不同NR-SF影响NR酶动力学性质相同;不同NR-SF的凝胶电泳谱带显示蛋白和糖蛋白性质。NR-SF广泛存在于植物细胞中。     

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.
