女贞和白蜡树的树皮结构及次生韧皮部发育的季节变化

女贞（ＬｉｇｕｓｔｒｕｍｂｕｃｉｄｕｍＡｉｔ）和白蜡树（ＦｒａｘｉｎｕｓｃｈｉｎｅｎｓｉｓＲｏｘｂ）是白蜡虫的两种主要寄主树。树皮由外向内为周皮,皮层,初生韧皮部的纤维束和次生韧皮部．它们的筛管分子具复筛板或单筛板,具Ｐ－蛋白质和筛管淀粉。伴胞为与筛管分等长的一列或单个细胞。筛管寿命在女贞中最长为一年,在白蜡树中则不超过８个月．形成层活动时间在女贞中是３月中下旬到１１月中旬,在白蜡树中是３月中下旬到１１月下旬．两种树木的木质部和韧皮部在３月中旬已开始分化,木质部和韧皮部分化停止的时间在女贞中分别是１１月中旬和１２月下旬;在白蜡树中分别是９月下旬和１１月下旬．两种树木在冬季都有部分分化的筛管分子,白蜡树中的部分分化的筛管分子于秋季形成,翌年３月中旬成熟,同年９—１０月瓦解。女贞枝条冬季平均保留１７０．２μｍ的具功能韧皮部区;而白蜡树在径向仅保留数列细胞宽的具功能韧皮都区越冬．     

我国水稻迁飞性害虫猖獗成因及其治理对策建议

本文运用生态学的基本原理,在阐述我国稻飞虱（褐飞虱Ｎｉｌａｐａｒｖａｔａｌｕｇｅｎｓ（ｓｔａｌ）,白背飞虱Ｓｏｇａｔｅｌｌａｆｕｒｃｉｆｅｒａ（Ｈｏｒｖａｔｈ））和稻纵卷叶螟（ＣｎａｐｈａｌｏｃｒｏｃｉｓｍｅｄｉｎａｌｉｓＧｕｅｎｅｅ）近１０—２０年来的发生和危害状况后,分析认为,我国水稻迁飞性害虫的猖獗力害,与初始主源、生产水平和作物坏境及气候异常有很密切的关系。本文还对未来若干年内的发生趋势作了浅析,同时从宏观治理的高度提出一些建没性的控制对策。     

Chronobiologic approach to beat-to-beat variations of cultured murine myocardial cells

An earlier demonstration of a circadian rhythm in rat atria by others is complemented herein by observations in culture: A single murine myocardial cell and two sets of grouped cells beating in culture for several days reveal several features of an anticipated, presumably built-in spectrum of multifrequency rhythms and trends, the chronome. Circadian and about 12-h (circasemidian) components are modulated by an approximately 84-h (circasemiseptan) component, which cannot be separated from trends in view of the brevity of the series. The circumstance under which the culture is aging and in which fibroblasts proliferate is a further complication that limits the findings to a single cycle reproduced in three separate cultures. Whether it is a rhythm that repeats itself or a response to placement into culture, an approximately 3.5-d component in the beating of myocardial cells in culture is to be aligned with a very prominent similar component found in the incidence of 85,819 human myocardial infarctions.     

Lyciumamide A,a dimer of phenolic amide,protects against NMDA-induced neurotoxicity and potential mechanisms in vitro

Journal of Molecular Histology - Currently, the excessive activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) is considered to be a crucial mechanism of brain injury. Lycium barbarum A (LyA) is a...     

Rapid and reliable detection of 11 food-borne pathogens using thin-film biosensor chips

Traditional methods for identifying food-borne pathogens are time-consuming and laborious, so it is necessary to develop innovative methods for the rapid identification of food-borne pathogens. Here, we report the development of silicon-based optical thin-film biosensor chips for sensitive detection of 11 food-borne pathogens. Briefly, aldehyde-labeled probes were arrayed and covalently attached to a hydrazine-derivatized chip surface, and then, biotinylated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicons were hybridized with the probes. After washing and brief incubation with an antibiotin immunoglobulin G–horseradish peroxidase conjugate and a precipitable horseradish peroxidase substrate, biotinylated chains bound to the probes were visualized as a color change on the chip surface (gold to blue/purple). Highly sensitive and accurate examination of PCR fragment targets can be completed within 30 min. This assay is extremely robust, sensitive, specific, and economical and can be adapted to different throughputs. Thus, a rapid, sensitive, and reliable technique for detecting 11 food-borne pathogens was successfully developed.     

High-throughput microfluidic system for long-term bacterial colony monitoring and antibiotic testing in zero-flow environments

In this study, a high-throughput microfluidic system is presented. The system is comprised of seven parallel channels. Each channel contains 32 square-shaped microchambers. After simulation studies on samples loaded into the microchambers, and the solute exchange between the microchambers and channels, the long-term culture of Escherichia coli (E. coli) HB101 in the microchambers is realized. Using the principle that L-arabinose (L-Ara) can induce recombinant E. coli HB101 pGLO to synthesize green fluorescent protein (GFP), the real-time analysis of GFP expression in different initial bacterial densities is performed. The results demonstrate that higher initial loading densities of the bacterial colony cause bacterial cell to enter log-phase proliferation sooner. High or low initial loading densities of the bacterial cell suspension induce the same maximum growth rates during the log-phase. Quantitative on-chip analysis of tetracycline and erythromycin inhibition on bacterial cell growth is also conducted. Bacterial morphology changes during antibiotic treatment are observed. The results show that tetracycline and erythromycin exhibit different inhibition activities in E. coli cells. Concentrations of 3 μg/mL tetracycline can facilitate the formation of long filamentous bacteria with the average length of more than 50 μm. This study provides an on-chip framework for bacteriological research in a high-throughput manner and the development of recombinant bacteria-based biosensors for the detection of specific substances.     

我国北方稻区1991年稻飞虱大发生虫源形成

北方稻区在一般年份只有少量稻飞虱（褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens,白背飞虱Sogatella fercifera)迁入,而与虫源区相隔千余公里的沿渤海湾稻区却在1991年稻飞虱暴发成灾,通过分析1991年各地稻飞虱主要迁入峰期的天气学背景和低空急流的时空分布及我国东部稻作区各地虫源的对应关系,表明大尺度低空急流的时空动态与南方（江岭区）大发生虫源的迁出期（区）相吻合的程度及维持时间乃北方稻虱大发生虫源得以形成的关键因子和暴发成灾的触发机制,其北上前缘左侧的暴雨区即远迁种群的集中降虫区,是否存在与南方大发生虫源时空同步且贯通南北的大尺度低空急流及其前缘的暴雨区可作为北方稻虱暴发的预警指标。     

我国低空急流的时空分布与稻飞虱北迁

利用国家气象局高空气象资料（CD版）统计了1986－1995年间昆虫迁飞季节内（3－9月份）低空急流发生的时空变化和抉学,并与稻飞虱的北迁作了相关分析。结果表明,低空急流的发生区域分布于百色,锦州,嫩江一线的东侧,长时间,大尺度的低空急流有利于稻飞虱的远距离北迁和大范围降落,3月下旬和5月下旬稻飞虱始见期的北界与低空急流的16．5℃等温线相吻合,而后其始见期北界与低空急流前缘所至基本吻合。据此提出可以低空急流作为监测稻飞虱迁飞的预警参数,再结合虫情资料预测稻飞慢迁入区的分布。
