走进缺水时代

世界正在走进一个缺水的时代。据联合国环境规划署2002年报告：“全世界约有1／3的人生活在中度和高度缺水地区”。该机构2007年报告进一步指出：“到2025年．全球将有18亿人口生活在绝对缺水的国家和地区．世界上将有2／3的人口面临缺水的压力．     

马蹄荷化学成分研究

从马蹄荷(Exbucklandia populnea R.W.Br.)茎皮中首次分离得到6个化合物,通过波谱分析鉴定为β-谷甾醇(I)、胡萝卜甙(Ⅱ)、樱桃甙(Ⅲ)、芒花甙(Ⅳ)、圣草酚(V)和白藜芦醇(Ⅵ)。     

Computational analysis and prediction for exons of PAC579 genomic sequence

To isolate the novel genes related to human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we se-quenced P1-derived artificial chromosome PAC579 (D17S926 locus) mapped in the minimum LOH (loss of heterozygosity) deletion region of chromosome 17p13.3 in HCC. Four novel genes mapped in this genomic sequence area were isolated and cloned by wet-lab experiments, and the exons of these genes were located. 0-60 kb of this genomic sequence including the genes of interest was scanned with five different computational exon prediction programs as well as four splice site recognition programs. After analyzing and comparing the computationally predicted results with the wet-lab experiment results, some potential exons were predicted in the genomic sequence by using these programs.

一种新的以细胞表面受体为靶向的基因导入系统

鉴于胰岛素样生长因子Ⅰ号及Ⅱ号的受体 (IGFⅠR ,IGFⅡR)在人原发性肝癌中过量表达 ,以及表皮细胞生长因子受体 (EGFR)在多种人恶性肿瘤过量表达 ,设计和合成了针对IGFⅠR及IGFⅡR的 1 4肽E5和针对EGFR的 1 6肽GE7,以及流感病毒血凝素功能域 2 0肽HA2 0作为内吞小体释放寡肽 (Endosomereleasingoligopeptide,EOP) ,将它们分别与多聚阳离子多肽 (Polycationic polypeptide ,PCP)———多聚赖氨酸 (Polylysine ,PL)或鱼精蛋白 (Protamine,PA)共价连接 ,藉静电效应与DNA形成一个复合体 (E5 PCP/DNA/PCP HA2 0 ,GE7 PCP/DNA/PCP HA2 0 ) ,即构建的新的受体介导的靶向性非病毒型基因导入系统 .体内、外实验结果表明它们相对靶向且高效地将外源基因导入人恶性肿瘤细胞并得到预期表达     

内耳形态学和生理指标对缺铁性肾虚耳聋大鼠模型的评价作用

目的探讨耳蜗显微结构和生理指标对缺铁性肾虚耳聋大鼠模型的评价作用。方法选用体重30～32 g、无耳疾、听性脑干反应(auditory brainstem response,ABR)阈值正常的1～2周龄SPF级SD大鼠120只,雌雄分养,分为缺铁组80只、正常对照组40只,饲养时间12周;以出现肾虚证和至少一耳ABR阈值≥15 dB,作为判断肾虚耳聋的标准,获得缺铁性肾虚耳聋大鼠22只,从中选取肾虚耳聋大鼠20只,同时以20只正常大鼠作对照。观察耳蜗血管纹、螺旋器等耳蜗显微结构变化,检测ABR阈值以及血红蛋白和血清铁等指标的变化。结果实验组和正常对照大鼠的血红蛋白和血清铁分别为11.80 g/L,4.5μmol/L和45.9 g/L,22.23μmol/L,ABR阈值分别为(30±5)dB和(10±5)dB;实验组血管纹血管明显减少;螺旋器毛细胞听毛有缺失、倒伏现象。结论缺铁性肾虚耳聋大鼠血红蛋白、血清铁和ABR阈值,以及耳蜗血管纹、螺旋器等耳蜗显微结构变化等指标,均较为稳定,是较好的评价指标。

黄土丘陵区代表性乔灌草植物凋落物关键代谢产物释放的室内模拟研究

凋落物源代谢产物在植物-土壤系统中发挥着重要生态作用,该研究以黄土丘陵区刺槐、油松、沙棘、狗尾草和达乌里胡枝子等5种代表性乔灌草植物的凋落物为研究对象,以土壤混水振荡沉淀后收集上清液的方式提取客土微生物,通过均匀喷施上清液对凋落物进行接种,并在室温(25℃)恒湿(凋落物持水率维持在约100%)条件下进行室内分解模拟,研究该过程中7种代谢产物的降解和释放特征,以期更深入地理解凋落物分解过程及其可能的后续生态学效应,为林草生态系统管理提供依据。结果显示：(1)150 d的分解过程中,5种凋落物的木质素均呈分解前期(0～60 d)少部分降解(<30%)、后期趋于停滞的趋势;水溶性酚、凝缩单宁和黄酮呈分解前期(0～30 d)快速释放大部分(>80%)、后期显著减缓的趋势;萜类呈持续释放、甚至在试验后期明显加速的趋势;可溶性糖和氨基酸的释放均呈现在短时间内快速释放、随后缓慢释放的趋势。总体而言,除木质素呈慢速降解状态外,其他代谢产物均呈超速释放状态。(2)7种代谢产物的年降解或释放速率总体均呈现沙棘和刺槐凋落物显著高于达乌里胡枝子、狗尾草和油松凋落物的规律(P<0.05)。(3...
