云南栉眼蚤属一新种：蚤目：多毛蚤科

本文记述了从滇西北边陲担打力卡山脉采获的栉眼蚤属一新种——解氏栉眼蚤Ctenophthalmus(Sinoctenophthalmux)xiei。本新种与端凹栉眼蚤Ctenophthalmus(S.)parcus Jordan,1932近缘,但可根据其下唇须,可动突、第九腹板和阳茎端侧叶以及第七腹板后缘的形态等特征与后者区分。     

苯胺嘧啶衍生物X-9通过下调整合素β1表达抑制肝细胞癌迁移侵袭

整合素在许多肿瘤细胞中高表达,并且参与肿瘤细胞的侵袭转移。在肝细胞癌中,整合素β1被报导高表达,并促进肿瘤细胞的侵袭。目前,对于整合素的表达调控癌细胞机制以及干预其表达进而抑制肿瘤细胞转移的研究较少。本研究探讨利用小分子化合物抑制整合素表达来抑制肿瘤细胞迁移和侵袭的可能。首先,对临床肝癌细胞患者癌组织和癌旁组织中的整合素β1的表达进行检测,发现其在癌组织中的表达显著高于癌旁组织（P<0.05）。对TCGA肿瘤数据库的生物信息学分析结果同样显示,整合素β1的高表达与肝癌的分期（P=0.019）和预后（P=0.013）相关。通过筛选发现,苯胺嘧啶衍生物X09可以抑制肝癌细胞中整合素β1的mRNA和蛋白质的表达（P<0.01）。细胞划痕愈合实验和细胞穿孔实验结果显示,苯胺嘧啶衍生物X-9能够抑制肝癌细胞的迁移和侵袭（P<0.01）。进一步的研究证实,在肝癌细胞中外源表达整合素β1可以逆转X-9对肝癌细胞迁移和侵袭的抑制;而在敲低整合素β1的细胞中,X-9对细胞的迁移和侵袭的抑制被消除。因此,鉴定出苯胺嘧啶衍生物X-9可以通过下调整合素β1表达,进而抑制肝癌细胞的迁移和侵袭。     

大熊猫与金黄地鼠体外异种受精的研究

在大熊猫精子与地鼠卵的体外异种受精中,发现大熊猫精子穿入地鼠卵后可以激活受精卵产生极区,释放第二极体,受精卵内雌性原核形成。与此同时,地鼠卵的胞质也能促使大熊猫精子头发育成雄性原核,异种精卵间的相互作用与同种受精的相似。 细胞松弛素B能阻抑大熊猫雄性原核从地鼠卵皮层迁移到卵的中央,实验表明大熊猫雄性原核的迁移也受异种卵的微丝的控制。     

Folylpolyglutamate Derivatives of Pisum sativum L. Determination of Polyglutamate Chain Lengths by High Performance Liquid Chromatography Following Conversion to p-aminobenzoylpolyglutamates

The folypolyglutamate derivatives of pea seedlings (Pisum sativumL. cv. Homesteader) were extracted in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanoland cleaved to p-aminobenzoylpolyglutamates by treatment withZn-HCl. Azo dyes were formed by reaction with naphthylethylenediamine and purified by polyacrylamide gel chromatography. p-Aminobenzoylpolyglutamateswere regenerated from these dyes by Zn treatment and then concentratedin vacuo. These derivatives were separated according to glutamylchain length by high performance liquid chromatography on WhatmanPartisil SAX columns. The folylpolyglutamates of 4 day old peacotyledons, pea leaves and isolated chloroplasts were mainlytetra- and pentaglutamates. These and folates of shorter chainlength were labelled when seeds and aerial shoots were incubatedwith p-aminobenzoate-[¹⁴C]. Labelling of the pentaglutamatewas reduced in seeds that were imbibed in the presence of 0.1mM methotrexate. Studies of cotyledon folylpolyglutamate synthetaseshowed that polyglutamate chain length was affected by incubationtime and the concentration of tetra-hydrofolate monoglutamatein the reaction system. ¹Present address: Department of Biology, University of Lethbridge,Alberta, Canada T1K 3M4 ²Present address: Department of Horticulture, Xiong-yue AgriculturalCollege, Xiong-yue, Liaoning Province, China (Received August 4, 1989; Accepted December 5, 1989)     

武陵山地区的淡水软体动物

1988—1989年在我国西南武陵山地区对乌江、清江、澧水及沅江四大水系进行了资源考察。共采集到标本53种,隶属2纲12科27属,其中腹足纲41种,瓣鳃纲12种,内有7个新种(另外发表)。淡水软体动物的区系组成以东洋界种类占优势,有29种,占总数的54.8％;种类组成以沅江水系最多,有44种,其中22种仅采于沅江。田螺属(Viviparus Montfort,1810)的种类首次在东洋界境内被发现。文章对淡水软体动物的资源作了评价,并对寄生虫媒介贝类进行了叙述。     

几种哺乳动物精子顶体膜囊泡形成的研究

在猪、绵羊、地鼠这几种哺乳动物的精子体外获能后,在顶体反应的超显微结构中观察到:精子顶体膜囊泡化呈现多种形态,但囊泡都是由精子顶体的双层外膜多位点自我融合而形成的,质膜并不参与囊泡化,这一结果与前人报道的不同。     

汉坦病毒结构蛋白的鉴定及其应用

对差速离心纯化的汉坦病毒R84-1毒株进行了SDS-PAGE和免疫印迹试验。发现有67k和43k两条蛋白区带能与汉坦病毒抗体起反应。经单克隆抗体鉴定,67k多肽可能属病毒囊膜蛋白,43k多肽未定。用免疫印迹法对出血热患者进行检测,初步证明野鼠型感染者具有上述两种蛋白抗原的抗体,大鼠型患者仅具有67k蛋白的抗体,这对出血热患者血清学分型有重要意义。     

Potential for host range expansion in Ceratitis capitata flies: impact of proximity of adult food to egg-laying sites

Abstract.

• 1 In field cage and field tests, female Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), in trees alighted in significantly greater numbers upon sticky-coated (non-odour-emitting) kumquats, Fortunella japonica, that were in the vicinity of odorous natural proteinaceous food (bird faeces) or synthetic food odour than on similar kumquats distant from bird faeces or synthetic food odour.
• 2 In field cage tests, oviposition in non-sticky kumquats nearby bird faeces was significantly greater than in non-sticky kumquats distant from bird faeces.
• 3 In field tests, medflies laid significantly more eggs in host kumquat and non-host hawthorn, Crataegus mollis, fruit adjacent to bird faeces and synthetic food odour than in fruit of these types distant from food-type stimuli.
• 4 These findings suggest that odour of natural food of medflies could lure flies to plants whose fruit emit little or no attractive odour and are not permanent hosts but which are nonetheless susceptible to egg-laying and larval development, resulting in temporary expansion of host range.
