NMDA受体在海马CA_3区习得性LTP保持中的作用

在大鼠明暗分辨学习的建立和巩固过程中,通过与记录电极一起慢性埋植于海马CA_3区的注药管微量注射NMDA受体的特异性拮抗剂2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid(APV),观察对海马CA_3区突触效应及与之相关的习得性行为的影响。结果如下:(1)在动物经训练PS峰幅值刚增大至最高水平后,即在习得性LTP刚好形成后,每实验单元先于CA_3区注射AFV 1μl(2mmol/L),然后在药物有效作用时间内再进行训练,则PS峰值不能随训练而保持在最高水平,相反经8个实验单元,PS峰值降至实验前水平;相应地动物的正确反应率不能随训练而巩固,反而下降至10％以下。(2)在动物习得性LTP已形成并经一单元训练PS保持在最高水平后,于每实验单元训练前注射APV 1μl(2mmol/L),PS峰值同样不会随训练而保持在最高水平,经14个实验单元注药和训练,PS峰值逐渐降至实验前水平,相应地动物行为的正确反应率也降至10％以下,习得性行为消退,不过其消退速度比前一情况的动物为慢,说明习得性LTP发展情况不同,APV的作用效率有差别。结果表明:NMDA受体在习得性LTP的巩固中起着重要作用。     

世界蚜虫分类研究进展

本文综述了世界蚜虫分类研究进展。内容包括形态分类、细胞分类、生物化学分类以及化石研究等,并以M.L.Sharma的文献目录为基础,对世界蚜虫分类研究报告篇数进行统计。结果表明:世界各国蚜虫分类研究进展极不平衡,美国、加拿大、日本及欧洲的一些国家包括荷兰、丹麦、瑞典、捷克、波兰、德国等其α分类任务基本完成,印度也进展较快,离完成α分类任务为期不远。苏联欧洲部分也已基本完成,亚洲部分和中国尚有大量α级分类工作有待完成。     

土壤中含EB病毒诱导物的检测

从广西壮族自治区梧州市、苍梧县、罗城县和北京市收集的土壤标本中发现有EB病毒诱导物。梧州市和苍梧县沿公路和江河两旁桐油树下的土壤标本,对EB病毒早期抗原诱导的阳性率为40～58％。在其他大戟科植物下的土壤标本中,也发现有EB病毒诱导物。对桐油树下土壤中EB病毒诱导物与鼻咽癌发生的可能关系进行了讨论。     

河北阳原—蔚县晚上新世兔形类化石

本文记述河北阳原——蔚县晚上新世小哺乳动物群中的兔形类化石共3属5种:Pliopent-alagus nihewanensis sp.nov.,Hypolagus sohreuderi,Ochotona cf.lagrelii,Ochotona minor和Ochotona erythrotis.。对首次发现于亚洲的Pliopentalagus进行了起源和演化方面的探讨;并就华北上新世一早更新世常见的Hypolagus作了一些评述。本文指出:Hypolagus—Plio-pentalagus组合已延至早维拉方期;Ochotona lagrelii—Ochotona minor则为已知的最晚代表。

一些因子对七星瓢虫咽侧体活性的影响(英文)

七星瓢虫(Coccmella septimpunctata)为了适应环境的变化,通过咽侧体产生保幼激素的活动调节其生殖作用。为了探索内外因素对咽侧体活动的影响,应用放射化学法及免疫电泳测定了食物、卵巢发育、脑神经肽、保幼激素类似物对卵黄发生期成虫保幼激素生物合成及血淋巴中卵黄原蛋白含量的影响。结果表明咽侧体活性受上述各种因子的影响。咽侧体活性与卵黄原蛋白含量及卵母细胞生长密切相关,说明有反馈作用。食物的质与量影响着咽侧体活性的变化。低剂量外源保幼激素类似物处理成虫则可促使咽侧体活性的变化。脑分泌的神经肽(allatotropin)可活化咽侧体。这些结果表明雌瓢虫保幼激素的生产主要是受起源于脑的促咽侧体信号的调节作用。     

Direct and indirect effects of recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor on in vitro colony formation of human bladder cancer cells

Although the present experimental use of recombinant human granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (rG-CSF) has been proven to alleviate the myelosuppression induced by antitumor chemotherapy, it is also believed to stimulate growth of some nonhematopoietic tumor cells. We investigated both the direct and indirect effects of rG-CSF on in vitro colony formation of human bladder cancer cell lines using a modified human tumor clonogenic assay. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were used as feeder cells (a mixture of 5×10⁴ monocytes/dish and 5×10⁵ lymphocytes/dish obtained from healthy donors). Human bladder cancer cell lines KK-47, TCCSUP and T24, all derived from human transitional-cell carcinomas, were incubated continuously with various concentrations of rG-CSF ranging from 0.01 ng/ml to 10 ng/ml both with and without PBMC for 7–21 days. The concentrations of rG-CSF used were chosen as being in the range of achievable serum concentrations in patients treated with rG-CSF. At the end of incubation, colonies were counted under an inverted phase-contrast microscope, and an increase in the number of colonies in comparison with the control was used to evaluate the effects of rG-CSF. Results were expressed as a percentage of controls. rG-CSF in the upper layer at concentrations ranging from 0.1 ng/ml to 10 ng/ml stimulated the colony formation of all the cancer cell lines tested in the absence of PBMC in the feeder layer, whereas cells with PBMC in the feeder layer were significantly stimulated more than those without PBMC in the feeder layer (P<0.05) up to a certain concentration, which varied from cell line to cell line. At higher concentrations of rG-CSF, no further stimulation but, on the contrary, a decrease in colony formation was observed in cells with PBMC in the feeder layer in all the cell lines tested. Colony formation in KK-47 and T24 cell lines was significantly inhibited at 5 ng/ml and/or 10 ng/ml rG-CSF compared with cells without PBMC in the feeder layer. Our results suggest that rG-CSF may have both direct and indirect stimulatory effects on the growth of human bladder cancer cell lines in vitro. The results obtained also raise the possibility of adverse effects of rG-CSF in bladder cancer patients whose malignant cells may be directly and indirectly stimulated by this factor while it is being used clinically to alleviate the myelosuppression induced by antitumor chemotherapy.
