Crataegus curvisepala Lindm., C. laevigata (Poiret) DC. and C. monogyna Jacq. (Rosaceae) form hybrid complexes in Denmark due to introgression. C. palmstruchii Lindm. seems to be variously introgressed individuals of C. laevigata. C. eremitagensis Raunk., C. raavadensis Raunk. and C. schumacheri Raunk. apparently belong to C. curvisepala x laevigata. The delimitation between C. curvisepala x laevigata and C. laevigata x monogyna is discussed. 相似文献

Taking into account the rising trend of the incidence of cancers of various organs, effective therapies are urgently needed to control human malignancies. However, almost all chemotherapy drugs currently on the market cause serious side effects. Fortunately, several studies have shown that some non‐toxic biological macromolecules, including algal polysaccharides, possess anti‐cancer activities or can increase the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy drugs. Polysaccharides are characteristic secondary metabolites of many algae. The efficacy of polysaccharides on the normal and cancer cells is not well investigated, but our investigations proved a cell specific effect of a newly isolated extracellular polysaccharide from the red microalga Porphyridium sordidum. The investigated substance was composed of xylose:glucose and galactose:manose:rhamnose in a molar ratio of 1:0.52:0.44:0.31. Reversible electroporation has been exploited to increase the transport through the plasma membrane into the tested breast cancer tumor cells MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB231. Application of 75 µg/mL polysaccharide in combination with 200 V/cm electroporation induced 40% decrease in viability of MDA‐MB231 cells and changes in cell morphology while control cells (MCF10A) remained with normal morphology and kept vitality. 相似文献

L-Asparaginase is known to catalyze the hydrolysis of L-asparagine to L-aspartic and ammonia, but little is known about its action on peptides. When we incubated L-asparaginases purified either from Escherichia coli or Erwinia chrysanthemi - commonly used as chemotherapeutic agents because of their antitumour activity - with eight small beta-aspartylpeptides such as beta-aspartylserineamide, beta-aspartylalanineamide, beta-aspartylglycineamide and beta-aspartylglycine, we found that both L-asparaginases could catalyze the hydrolysis of five of them yielding L-aspartic acid and amino acids or peptides. Our data show that L-asparaginases can hydrolyze beta-aspartylpeptides and suggest that L-asparaginase therapy may affect the metabolism of beta-aspartylpeptides present in human body. 相似文献

The nonchromatin proteinous residue of the cell nucleus was revealed in our laboratory as early as in 1948 and then identified by light and electron microscopy as residual nucleoli,intranuclear network and nuclear envelope before 1960,This structure termed afterwards as “nuclear residue“,“nuclear skeleton“,“nuclear cage“,“nuclear carcass“etc.,was much later(in 1974) isolated,studied and entitled as “nuclear matrix“ by Berezney and Coffey,to whom the discovery of this residual structure is often wronly ascribed.The real history of nuclear matrix manifestation is reported in this paper. 相似文献

Urbanization, one of the most extreme land‐use alterations, is currently spreading, and the number of species confronting these changes is increasing. However, contradictory results of previous studies impede a clear interpretation of which selective pressure (nest predation or food limitation) is more important in urban habitats compared with natural situations, and whether birds can confront them by adjusting their life‐history strategies. We investigated life‐history syndromes of three common blackbird (Turdus merula) populations differing in their human influence (urban, rural, and woodland). We analysed daily nest predation and nestling starvation rates to assess the relative importance of these selection pressures in each habitat. Simultaneously, several life‐history traits were investigated to determine if T. merula seem adapted to their main source of selection. Food limitation was more important in the city, whereas nest predation was the most important selective force in the forest. The rural habitat was characterized by an intermediate influence of these two factors. Life‐history syndromes, as the covariation of a suite of traits, confirmed these results because T. merula seem well adapted to the main cause of selection in each habitat. Our results are consistent with urbanization imposing new challenges on birds, and that they adaptively respond to them. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 101 , 759–766. 相似文献

New tetrazolium method for the histochemical localization of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV), based on a newly synthesized substrate Gly-L-Pro-1-hydroxy-4-naphthylamide is proposed. Upon the enzyme hydrolysis of the substrate a strong reducing agent, i.e. 4-amino-1-naphthol is released, which reduces tetrazolium salts to water-insoluble, deeply colored formazans, that precipitate on the sites of enzyme activity, marking them accurately. No auxiliary electron acceptor is needed for the redox reaction. The incubation is performed at the optimal pH of the enzyme. Precise enzyme localization is achieved in all organs studied. Thus, the new method avoids most of the disadvantages of the methods in use and might open new possibilities in peptidases histochemistry. 相似文献

Empirical force-field calculations and ir and 1H-nmr spectra indicate that five-membered (C5) and seven-membered (C) hydrogen-bonded rings are the preferred conformations of acetyl-L -Phe p-acetyl and p-valeryl anilides in nonpolar media. The C5/C ratio was found to be dependent on the dryness of the solute and the solvent. This fact and the results from conformational-energy calculations suggest that a molecule of water participates in the stabilization of the C conformation. 相似文献

Background
Flexible video bronchoscopes, in particular the Olympus BF Type 3C160, are commonly used in pediatric respiratory medicine. There is no data on the magnification and distortion effects of these bronchoscopes yet important clinical decisions are made from the images. The aim of this study was to systematically describe the magnification and distortion of flexible bronchoscope images taken at various distances from the object.Methods
Using images of known objects and processing these by digital video and computer programs both magnification and distortion scales were derived.Results
Magnification changes as a linear function between 100 mm (×1) and 10 mm (×9.55) and then as an exponential function between 10 mm and 3 mm (×40) from the object. Magnification depends on the axis of orientation of the object to the optic axis or geometrical axis of the bronchoscope. Magnification also varies across the field of view with the central magnification being 39% greater than at the periphery of the field of view at 15 mm from the object. However, in the paediatric situation the diameter of the orifices is usually less than 10 mm and thus this limits the exposure to these peripheral limits of magnification reduction. Intraclass correlations for measurements and repeatability studies between instruments are very high, r = 0.96. Distortion occurs as both barrel and geometric types but both types are heterogeneous across the field of view. Distortion of geometric type ranges up to 30% at 3 mm from the object but may be as low as 5% depending on the position of the object in relation to the optic axis.Conclusion
We conclude that the optimal working distance range is between 40 and 10 mm from the object. However the clinician should be cognisant of both variations in magnification and distortion in clinical judgements. 相似文献9.

Aims: To isolate a biosurfactant-producing bacterial strain and to identify and characterize the chemical structure and properties of its biosurfactants.
Methods and Results: The bacterium Rhodococcus wratislaviensis BN38, isolated from soil, was found to produce glycolipid biosurfactants when grown on 2% n -hexadecane. The glycolipids were isolated by chromatography on silica gel columns and their structures elucidated using a combination of multidimensional NMR and ESI-MS/MS techniques. The main product was identified as 2,3,4,2'-trehalose tetraester with molecular mass of 876 g mol−1 . It was also noted that the biosurfactant was produced under nitrogen-limiting conditions and could not be synthesized from water-soluble substrates. The purified product showed extremely high surface-active properties.
Conclusions: The glycolipid biosurfactant produced by the alkanothrophic strain R. wratislaviensis BN38 was characterized to be 2,3,4,2'-trehalose tetraester which exhibited high surfactant activities.
Significance and Impact of the Study: Strain BN38 of R. wratislaviensis is a potential candidate for use in bioremediation applications or in biosurfactant exploration. 相似文献

The partition matrix: exploring variable phylogenetic signals along nucleotide sequence alignments 总被引:6,自引:2,他引:4
The partition matrix is a graphical tool for comparative analysis of
nucleotide sequences following alignment. It is particularly useful for
investigating the divergent phylogenies of sequence regions undergoing
reticulate evolution. A partition matrix is generated by determining the
consistency of the parsimoniously informative sites in a set of aligned
sequences with the binary partitions inferred from the sequences. Since the
linear order of sites is maintained, the matrix can be used to assess
whether the distribution of sites either supporting or conflicting with
particular partitions changes along the length of the alignment. The
usefulness of the matrix in allowing visual identification of differences
in evolutionary history among regions depends on the order in which
partitions are shown; several suitable ordering schemes are proposed. We
demonstrate the use of the partition matrix in interpreting the evolution
of the pseudoautosomal boundary region on the sex chromosome of catarrhine
primates. Its routine use should help to avoid attempts to derive single
phylogenies from sequences whose evolution has been reticulate and to
identify the gene conversion or recombination events underlying the
reticulation. The method is relatively fast. It is exploratory, and it can
form the basis for more formal analysis, which we discuss.
