Heliothrix oregonensis,gen. nov., sp. nov., a phototrophic filamentous gliding bacterium containing bacteriochlorophyll a

An unusual filamentous, gliding bacterium was found in a few hot springs in Oregon where it formed a nearly unispecific top layer of microbial mats. It contained a bacteriochlorophyll a-like pigment and an abundance of carotenoids. There were no chlorosomes or additional chlorophylls. The organism was aerotolerant and appeared to be photoheterotrophic. It was successfully co-cultured with an aerobic chemoheterotroph in a medium containing glucose and casamino acids. Although it has many characteristics in common with the genus Chloroflexus, the lack of chlorosomes and bacteriochlorophyll c and the aerobic nature of this organism indicate that it should be placed in a new genus. This conclusion is supported by 5S rRNA nucleotide sequence data.     

福建冬青属二新种

本文描述了发现于福建的冬青科冬青属2新种——泰宁冬青Ilex tainingensis G. S. He和南平冬青I. nanpingensis G. S. He，并分别说明两者与其他近缘种的区别要点。泰宁冬青与太平山冬青I. sugerokii Maxim.的区别在于前种小枝被毛，无棱槽，叶片宽卵圆形，花淡紫色，分核表面具细条纹，背后中部有一凹槽。南平冬青与拟榕叶冬青I. subficoidea S. Y. Hu区别在于前种果为椭圆形，较大，表面光滑无腺点，果梗长于1 cm，每分核上端有2尖角，均可以区别。     

Immunotoxicotherapy: protective effect of anti-colchicine antibodies in acute colchicine poisoning in rabbits and mice

Anti-colchicine antibodies are able to neutralize toxic effects of colchicine after acute intoxication in rabbits and mice. The protecting effect is demonstrated by active immunization (rabbits) or passive immunization (mice). These data suggest that the immunotoxicotherapy may be useful for compounds (colchicine) with intracellular action.     

白纹伊蚊幼虫龄期的发育历期

在实验室内20±1℃, 23±1℃, 25±1℃, 28±1℃和30±1℃恒温条件下, 观察了白纹伊蚊(Aedes albopictus)幼虫(广州株)的发育历期.幼虫的总发育历期和各龄幼虫的发育历期随温度的上升而缩短, 各龄幼虫历期在总发育历期中占有恒定的百分比, 据此计算出其捕获机率.各龄幼虫的发育历期与温度呈直线回归关系.通过积温公式, 求出各龄幼虫的积温常数.此外还探索了营养对幼虫发育历期的影响, 从而影响各龄幼虫捕获机率的计算.     

A case of Alagille's syndrome with translocation (4;14) (q21;q21)

This paper reports a case of Alagille's syndrome, in association with a translocation 46,XY,t(4;14)(q21;21). The possible relationship between this autosomal dominant syndrome and the apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangement is discussed.     

内毒素对人血小板聚集,释放的体外作用

大肠杆菌 O55B5内毒素在体外可抑制人血小板自发性聚集,并使血小板内 cAMP、钙调素明显增高,但对肾上腺素诱发的血小板聚集无作用,也不能引起血小板致密颗粒和α-颗粒的释放。此外还观察到内毒素组无血小板上清液中5-HT 含量减少。     

清醒狗短暂缺血心肌复灌注时舒缩功能的变化

在狗的心脏上装入微超声探头和高精度微压力传感器,手术后两星期,在清醒状态下给予左冠状动脉旋支阻断三分钟。在复灌注过程中,观察到血液动力学指标与收缩期心室壁厚度(WT)迅速恢复正常;但在 dWT/dt—WT 环形图上出现舒张早期异常相,其形状与缺血过程不同。低氧和急遽冠状动脉过度充盈可以产生此种异常图形。我们推测,心肌缺血可能促使一些产物的形成,复灌注时它使冠脉过度舒张,冠脉灌注增加,从而造成舒张早期急遽充盈而形成了此种异常的形图。     

Interstitial deletion of chromosome 15: two cases

Summary Two cases of interstitial deletion of chromosome 15 with similar clinical features are presented. In one case, assay of hexosaminidase A enabled us to confirm that the structural gene is located between 15q22 and 15q25 and that it is included in the deletion.     

躯体和内脏传入冲动在大鼠束旁核内的会聚

在麻痹的大鼠上,分别刺激迷走神经、内脏大神经、坐骨神经、腓肠神经、睾丸和副睾,在对侧丘脑束旁核记录到了45个细胞的单位放电。根据诱发反应的潜伏期、时程和放电频谱分布的不同,可将他们分为五种类型,并且认为这些类型和刺激引起的感觉性质有关。在观察到的45单位中,29个的反应具有痛放电的特性,而且对躯体及内脏的传入冲动呈聚合性反应。其中2个单位只对内脏传入冲动产生反应。这项研究的结果表明,束旁核不仅是接受内脏传入的丘脑结构,而且也是一个整合内脏与躯体传入信息的中枢。
