椎间孔镜与开窗术对腰椎间盘突出患者远期治疗效果对比

目的:探究椎间孔镜与开窗术对腰椎间盘突出患者治疗远期效果对比。方法:选择2016年3月至2018年3月于我院接受治疗的腰椎间盘突出患者,按照其接受术式的不同将其分为孔镜组(108例)和开窗组(40例),对比两组手术出血量、术后卧床时间及切口长度,对比两组术前、术后3个月及术后12个月腰椎日本矫形外科学会(Japan Orthopaedic Assoctiation,JOA)评分、Odwestry功能障碍指数(Odwestris ability index, ODI)评分、视觉模拟评分(Visual analog scales,VAS)及生活质量评分,最后对比两组术后12个月椎间隙高度降低数值。结果:(1)孔镜组术中出血量、术后卧床时间及切口长度均小于开窗组,手术时间长于开窗组(P0.05);(2)术前两者JOA及ODI评分对比无统计学意义(P0.05),术后3个月及术后12个月孔镜组JOA及ODI评分优于开窗组(P0.05);(3)术前两组VAS及SF-36量表(the 36-item shot form health survey,SF-36)评分对比无统计学意义(P0.05),术后3个月及12个月两组VAS评分均有明显下降,SF-36评分有明显上升(P0.05),且术后3个月及12个月孔镜组SF-36评分高于开窗组(P0.05),VAS评分对比无统计学意义(P0.05);(4)术后12个月,孔镜组椎间隙高度降低率低于开窗组(P0.05)。结论:椎间孔镜在治疗腰椎间盘突出方面效果较好,相比于开窗术,孔镜术患者术中创伤小、术后恢复快、腰椎功能改善明显,且远期随访显示患者生活质量更高,值得进行临床推广。     

宁夏沿黄城市带湿地景观格局演变特征及驱动力

湿地作为全球生产力最高的生态系统之一,具有水净化、气候调节、碳汇等多种功能,但由于人类社会发展的胁迫和自然条件的改变,湿地流失尤为严重。为探究沿黄湿地景观格局演变规律,了解湿地资源的现状和动态变化,本研究以2000、2009、2018年3个时期Landsat卫星影像为数据源,选用景观指数、地理探测器等方法定量分析2000—2018年间宁夏沿黄城市带湿地景观格局演变特征及驱动力。结果表明: 2000—2018年,宁夏沿黄城市带湿地面积呈先增后减的趋势,湿地面积在研究前期增加了52.2 km²,增长率为8.2%,后期减少了26.8 km²,减少率为3.9%。湿地主要转出为建设用地和未利用地,转出面积分别为166.7、158.4 km²;新增湿地主要由未利用地和林草地转入,转入面积为543.1 km²。城市带湿地景观的破碎化程度呈上升趋势,但各类湿地均衡分布的态势逐渐增强,景观多样性也不断增加,景观优势种类逐渐弱化。自然要素和社会经济要素共同影响城市带湿地景观格局演变,其中,社会经济要素中的人口因素影响最显著,自然要素中的降水量、气温驱动作用明显,其他驱动力因子相对较弱但也不容忽视。     

苯并[a]芘和镉暴露对食蚊鱼求偶行为的影响

研究苯并[a]芘(BaP)和镉(Cd2+)暴露对雄性食蚊鱼(Gambusia affinis)求偶行为的影响。设对照组和实验组,BaP暴露浓度为0、0.1、100μg/L;Cd2+暴露浓度为0、5、500 nmol/L;分别暴露6和8周。暴露实验结束后,观察雄鱼与雌鱼配对(1∶1)的求偶行为,并作录像记录分析。结果显示,雄鱼在0.1和100μg/L的BaP分别暴露6周后其对雌鱼的求偶行为开始明显降低,并随着暴露浓度的升高和时间的延长而呈现下降趋势;BaP高浓度组(100μg/L)暴露8周后对雄鱼有严重的致死效应。暴露在5和500 nmol/L的Cd2+至8周后雄鱼求偶行为明显降低;雌鱼暴露在低浓度BaP和Cd2+中其对雄鱼的求偶行为无明显影响(P>0.05);但分别在高浓度100μg/L BaP和500nmol/L Cd2+中暴露后,雄鱼对雌鱼的求偶行为显著减少。结果表明,BaP和Cd2+暴露均可降低雄性食蚊鱼的求偶行为。     

MiRNA-181b suppresses IGF-1R and functions as a tumor suppressor gene in gliomas

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded, 18- to 23-nt RNA molecules that function as regulators of gene expression. Previous studies have shown that microRNAs play important roles in human cancers, including gliomas. Here, we found that expression levels of miR-181b were decreased in gliomas, and we identified IGF-1R as a novel direct target of miR-181b. MiR-181b overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumorigenesis by targeting IGF-1R and its downstream signaling pathways, PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK1/2. Overexpression of IGF-1R rescued the inhibitory effects of miR-181b. In clinical specimens, IGF-1R was overexpressed, and its protein levels were inversely correlated with miR-181b expression. Taken together, our results indicate that miR-181b functions in gliomas to suppress growth by targeting the IGF-1R oncogene and that miR-181b may serve as a novel therapeutic target for gliomas.     

Decreased Dicer Expression Enhances SRP-Mediated Protein Targeting

We have shown that Dicer processes 7SL RNA into different fragments ranging from ∼20 to more than 200 nucleotides. Here we addressed the molecular functions of these 7SL RNA fragments and found that some of them functioned as dominant-negative regulators of the full-length 7SL RNA, interfering with signal recognition particle (SRP) complex formation. Transfection of these 7SL RNA fragments inhibited the expression of cell surface glycoproteins, the targeting of a reporter protein to the endoplasmic reticulum, and the secretion of secreted alkaline phosphatase. These results suggest that some Dicer-processed 7SL RNA fragments interfered with SRP-mediated protein targeting. Moreover, we showed that Dicer knockdown enhanced SRP-mediated protein targeting and that transfection of a mixture of the 7SL RNA fragments partially restored this effect. Our data indicate that Dicer can fine-tune the efficiency of SRP-mediated protein targeting via processing a proportion of 7SL RNA into fragments of different lengths.     

Proteomic analysis of silk gland programmed cell death during metamorphosis of the silkworm Bombyx mori

The silk gland of the silkworm Bombyx mori undergoes programmed cell death (PCD) during pupal metamorphosis. On the basis of their morphological changes and the occurrence of a DNA ladder, the tissue cells were categorized into three groups: intact, committed, and dying. To identify the proteins involved in this process, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis. Protein expression changes among the three different cell types were examined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Among approximately 1000 reproducibly detected protein spots on each gel, 43 were down-regulated and 34 were up-regulated in PCD process. Mass spectrometry identified 17 differentially expressed proteins, including some well-studied proteins as well as some novel PCD related proteins, such as caspases, proteasome subunit, elongation factor, heat shock protein, and hypothetical proteins. Our results suggest that these proteins may participate in the silk gland PCD process of B. mori and, thus, provide new insights for this mechanism.

植物激素对砀山酥梨脱病毒苗增殖生长的影响

砀山酥梨脱病毒苗培养基中添加外源激素能通过调节内源激素的含量,从而控制脱病毒苗的增殖和生长。苄基腺嘌呤(benzyladen ine,BA)处理可提高脱病毒苗内源玉米素核苷(zeatin riboside,ZR)含量,而脱病毒苗的有效增殖芽数与IAA/ZR比值呈显著负相关;1萘-乙酸(1-naphthalene acetic ac id,NAA)处理可显著提高内源吲哚乙酸(indole acetic ac id,IAA)含量,较高的内源IAA含量有利于芽梢的生长;继代组培苗体内含有一定量的内源赤霉素(G iberllic Ac id,GA1 3),适量的外源GA3处理,可提高内源GA1 3含量而显著降低脱落酸(absc isic ac id,ABA)含量,促进芽梢的伸长和叶面积的扩大。     

本地种云南柳与外来种旱柳(杨柳科)的同倍体自然杂交(英文)

对分布于云南的旱柳(Salix matsudana)和云南柳(Salix cavaleriei)之间的一个自然杂交种进行了研究。野外观察表明疑似杂交种异蕊柳(Salix×heteromera)形态上介于旱柳和云南柳之间,并得到了基于叶形态特征的主成份分析的印证。核基因ITS序列数据表明这三个种存在ITS序列的种内和个体内的多态性,且疑似杂交种的ITS序列的基因型总是疑似亲本的嵌合体。因此可以判定异蕊柳是旱柳和云南柳的自然杂交后代。流式细胞分析表明这三个种均为四倍体,因而,本杂交事件为同倍体杂交。基于四个叶绿体序列片段的数据表明本自然杂交事件是不对称的,云南柳是异蕊柳的母本。常见外来种旱柳与稀有本地种云南柳的杂交可能导致稀有种云南柳的濒危甚至灭绝。研究表明柳属植物的引种应非常谨慎。
