蛇床幼茎离体培养中体细胞胚胎形成的观察

蛇床幼茎外植体经诱导产生了愈伤组织。在ＭＳ＋２,４－Ｄ,０．２ｍｇ／Ｌ＋ＺＴ０．４ｍｇ／Ｌ培养基中,愈伤组织转变成胚性愈伤组织。转入ＭＳ＋ＮＡＡ０．２ｍｇ／Ｌ＋ＺＴ０．８ｍｇ／Ｌ培养基以后,胚性愈伤组织分化出体细胞胚胎。体细胞胚胎在ＭＳ＋ＮＡＡ０．５ｍｇ／Ｌ培养基中可直接发育成为完整植析。显微观察表明,体细胞胚胎产生于愈伤组织的表层细胞或内部细胞。在鱼雷胚期已有螺纹导管的分化。子叶期的维管组织从两     

微小根毛霉感染机理研究

本文在首次报告二例肺结核、糖尿病患者合并感染肺微小根毛霉的基础上,进一步探讨免疫功能受损与微小根毛霉感染关系。本文采用不同剂量~(60)Co-γ全身辐照小鼠,然后以不同途径注射同剂量的微小根毛霉的孢囊孢子,观察动物的感染情况和感染后的真菌检出率,结果发现各种辐射剂量均在辐射后7-14日感染菌的检出率最高;各种脏器感染菌的检出率以脾脏最高(66.7—81.8％);淋巴结最低(0.0—25.0％);其他脏器的感染菌检出率也有不同程度的差异。

HPV感染对阴道微生态炎症反应的影响

目的探究HPV感染与阴道微生态、炎症反应的关系。方法选取2017年11月至2018年11月在我院治疗的70例HPV感染患者(研究组),随机选取同一时期来我院进行体检的健康者70例(对照组)。治疗前后分别对研究组和对照组研究对象进行HPV检测、阴道分泌物检查以及炎症反应检查,观察并记录两组研究对象的情况。结果治疗前研究组患者HPV感染情况[高危型HPV感染31例(44.3%),低危型HPV感染为39例(55.7%)]明显高于对照组[高危型HPV感染2例(2.8%),低危型HPV感染5例(7.1%)](t=38.314 0、33.345 0,均P0.05);研究组患者阴道微生态(乳杆菌为3 000±50、厌氧菌为1 050±100、需氧菌为800±65)明显低于对照组(乳杆菌为5 114±222、厌氧菌为2 334±100、需氧菌为1 500±100)(t=15.395 1、14.521 1、16.126 0,均P0.05);研究组阴道炎症发病情况[阴道毛滴虫阴道炎29例(41.43%)、念珠菌阴道炎为22例(31.43%)、细菌性阴道炎19例(27.14%)]明显多于对照组[阴道毛滴虫阴道炎11例(15.71%)、念珠菌阴道炎9例(12.86%)、细菌性阴道炎8例(11.43%)](χ~2=11.340 0、7.002 0、5.552 0,均P0.05)。结论临床上HPV感染很常见,患者多伴发阴道炎症,HPV感染患者阴道正常菌群变少,阴道微生态环境紊乱。     

MicroRNA profiles in Sorghum exposed to individual drought or heat or their combination

Sorghum is largely grown for food, fodder and for biofuel production in semi-arid regions where the drought or high temperature or their combination co-occur. Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are integral to the gene regulatory networks that control almost all biological processes including adaptation to stress conditions. Thus far, plant miRNA profiles under separate drought or heat stresses have been reported but not under combined drought and heat. In this study, we report miRNA profiles in leaves of sorghum exposed to individual drought or heat or their combination. Approximately 29 conserved miRNA families represented by 80 individual miRNAs, 26 families represented by 47 members of less conserved or sorghum-specific miRNA families as well as 8 novel miRNA families have been identified. Of these, 25 miRNAs were found to be differentially regulated in response to stress treatments. The comparative profiling revealed that the miRNA regulation was stronger under heat or combination of heat and drought compared to the drought alone. Furthermore, using degradome sequencing, 48 genes were confirmed as targets for the miRNAs in sorghum. Overall, this study provides a framework for understanding of the miRNA-guided gene regulations under combined stresses.

     

Ptk2b deletion improves mice folliculogenesis and fecundity via inhibiting follicle loss mediated by Erk pathway

Ptk2b has been found playing critical roles in oocyte maturation and subsequent fertilization in vitro. But what is the exact in vivo function in reproduction still elusive. Here, by constructing Ptk2b mutant mice, we found Ptk2b was not essential for mice fertility, unexpectedly, contrary to previously reported in vitro findings, we found Ptk2b ablation significantly improved female fecundity. Follicle counting indicated that the number of primordial follicles and growing follicles in matured mice was significantly increased in the absence of Ptk2b, whereas the primordial follicle formation showed no defects. We also found this regulation was in an autophosphorylation independent pathway, as autophosphorylation site mutant mice (PTK2B^Y402F) show no phenotype in female fertility. Further biochemistry studies revealed that Ptk2b ablation promotes folliculogenesis via Erk pathway mediate follicle survival. Together, we found a novel biological function of Ptk2b in folliculogenesis, which could be potentially used as a therapeutic target for corresponding infertility.     

Characteristics of Refractive-Index Sensor in Graphene-Modified Long-Range Surface Exciton-Polaritons

The organic non-crystalline medium of 5,6-dichloro-2-[[5,6-dichloro-1-ethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-benzimidazol-2-ylidene]-propenyl]-1-ethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-benzimidazolium hydroxide (TDBC) is emerging as possible alternative plasmonic material for noble metal in visible region. In this paper, a novel long-range surface exciton-polariton (LRSEP) sensor based on TDBC film covered with graphene is reported. To enhance the imaging sensitivity, the thickness of TDBC film and the number of graphene layers are optimized. The result shows that the optimized imaging sensitivity is enhanced to 3243 RIU⁻¹ when n_s = 1.34. Compared with the traditional noble metal film-based sensor, the proposed LRSEP sensor demonstrates that the imaging sensitivity has been greatly improved. This is the first study of the TDBC film-based LRSEP sensor, which we hope to support the potential development of chemical sensing and bio-sensing.
