人体单臂间歇运动对发汗调定点的影响

本工作系在微小气候相对恒定条件下,对10名健康男青年每人进行四项实验。实验 Ⅰ 为测定双侧腿足浸入43℃水中,诱发左前臂屈侧显现定量汗点时的口腔温度(舌下)阈值,作为发汗调定点参考值(ToSSP);实验 Ⅱ 为 Ⅰ 附加右臂间歇轻负荷运动(77W)时测定 ToSSP,部分对象还记录了皮肤电反应;实验 Ⅲ、Ⅳ 为 Ⅰ、Ⅱ 均附加4.5m/s 气流(22—25℃)直吹头面部,再分别测定 ToSSP。实验 Ⅰ 与 Ⅱ 同体对照22人次,Ⅲ 与 Ⅳ 同体对照24人次。结果表明,实验 Ⅱ、Ⅳ 的 ToSSP 均值及其潜伏期均值分别较 Ⅰ、Ⅲ 者降低(P<0.01)或缩短(P<0.001);Ⅰ、Ⅱ间的 ToSSP 均值差、潜伏期均值差,分别与 Ⅲ、Ⅳ 之间者无显著差异(P>0.2);Ⅱ、Ⅳ 的ToSSP 均值各与其实验开始前的口温均值亦无明显差异(P>0.5)。此结果支持运动时体温调定点下降的论点,并提示在研究体温调定点活动时,以 ToSSP 为指标较用发汗速率为优越,因 ToSSP 不为许多干扰因素所影响。     

Effect of phospholipids on the thermal stability of microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase

The GT2P isoform of microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase from pig liver is a lipid-dependent enzyme. The data in the present work indicate that, in addition to regulation of activity, the thermal stability of the enzyme also is modulated by the acyl chain composition of phosphatidylcholines (PC) used to reconstitute the activity of pure enzyme. There was a reversible, temperature-dependent change in the state of the pure enzyme to an inactive form with onset at T greater than 38 degrees C, depending on the environment of the enzyme. The midpoint for the transition shifted from 39.8 degrees C for enzyme in a bilayer of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) to 47.5 degrees C for enzyme in a bilayer of 1-stearoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (SOPC). For all lipids, the transition from a catalytically active to an inactive form of the enzyme was associated with large compensating changes in H and S. Lipid-induced stabilization of the active form of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase at T greater than 37 degrees C was associated with decreases in delta H and delta S, but the decreases in delta S were larger, indicating that lipid-induced stabilization of the active form of the enzyme was entropic. The transition between the active and inactive forms of the enzyme was too rapid in either direction to measure in a standard spectrophotometer. In addition to reversible inactivation of the enzyme, there was a slower irreversible, temperature-dependent inactivation. The rate of this process depended on the acyl chains of the phosphocholines interacting with the enzyme. However, there was no obvious correlation between the structures of lipids that stabilized the different inactivation reactions.     

Transport theory for growing cell populations

The partial differential equation that describes the growth of cell populations whose maturation rate is random is developed. The equation resembles that used in classical transport theory but mitotic boundary conditions and the restriction of the maturation rate to non-negative values brings out new features and new problems. This is a generalization of a previously published formulation in which cells could make transitions at random between only two maturation velocities: a characteristic velocity and zero. Growth rates, cycle time distributions and pulsed labeled mitotic curves are calculated for a simple choice of parameters. A numerical algorithm that is suited to the solution of the transport equation is given.     

我国恙虫蚴的三个新种(蜱螨目, 恙虫科)

近几年来,我国科学家们在恙虫方面的研究工作巳经取得了显著的成就。然而,这对于拥有辽阔疆土的我国来说,实在只不过是一个开始。我们在这方面的工作也做得很少,虽然从1953年开始收集标本,由于各种条件所限制,未能及时整理,以致大量标本散失或霉烂,十分可惜。本文内容,仅仅是将我站恙虫病调研工作组1957年在本省各地所采集的材料中的三种恙虫蚴加以描述,该三种恙虫蚴均系文献上未曾记载过的种类。

Galvanic skin response as a reflection of the decision-making process when time is insufficient

Amplitude and latency of skin galvanic response ( SGR ) was studied in 15 healthy subjects in two experimental programs. The first program demanded to perform a motor act as quickly as possible if all the three signals were the same, the second one demanded a motor act if at least one of the signals differed from the other two. Following series of signals were presented: 1--all the three signals being the same, 2--the first one differed from the others, 3,4--correspondingly, the second or the third signal differed from the others. The amplitude of SGR was found to increase, and its latency was found to decrease when the decision was taken under the conditions of time deficit. Thus, SGR reflects the process of decision taking rather than pretuning of the motor act.     

Isolation, characterization, and expression in Escherichia coli of a cDNA encoding rat heme oxygenase-2

In a recent study (Cruse, I., and Maines, M.D. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 3348-3353), we reported the isolation of a small cDNA fragment encoding a portion of heme oxygenase-2 through immunological screening of a rat testis cDNA library in lambda gt11. We have now used this 274-base pair (bp) cDNA fragment as a hybridization probe for rescreening of the same library, and have thereby recovered a number of additional positive isolates. Of these, three candidates of approximately 900, 1100, and 1300 bp, respectively, were subsequently subcloned and sequenced. Although differing in length, the sequences of these clones were found to be otherwise identical. Moreover, the length of isolate 18B, 1284 bp, corresponded well with that of the single mRNA species (approximately 1300-1350 nucleotides) detected through Northern blot hybridization analysis of rat testis total and poly(A)+RNA. This full- or near full-length cDNA encodes a 315-amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 35,757, in good agreement with the 36,000 estimated molecular weight of heme oxygenase-2. When expressed in Escherichia coli, cDNA encodes a protein that cross-reacts with heme oxygenase-2 antiserum (as assayed by Western immunoblotting) and yields high levels of heme oxygenase activity in bacterial soluble cell extracts. Finally, computer analysis of the heme oxygenase-2 cDNA sequence indicates that the predicted amino acid sequence and hydropathy profile of the heme oxygenase-2 protein exhibit similarity with heme oxygenase-1.
