Ca~(2+)-ATPase抑制剂对采后草莓呼吸速率和花青苷含量的影响

用Ca2+-ATPase抑制剂钒酸钠(SO)和曙红(EB)浸泡处理转红期草莓果实(cv.Darselect)后表明,2者能提高果实呼吸速率,迅速促进外层果肉的花青苷生成,增加其可溶性糖含量,髓部果肉的花青苷生成和可溶性糖的变化较慢,而对果实的失重率影响不大。因此,Ca2+-ATPase抑制剂具有促进果实成熟衰老的作用。     

柑橘裂皮病类病毒的一步RT-PCR法检测及其在甜橙体内的分布

柑橘裂皮病是由柑橘裂皮病类病毒(Citrusexocortisviroid,CEVd)引起的一种重要的柑橘病害。分别采用快速微量核酸提取法和SDS-KAc抽提法在表现症状的Etrog香橼中提取核酸,采用一步RT-PCR法对CEVd进行检测,结果显示SDS-KAc法可以消除带毒样品中非特异性条带。从嫁接接毒的铜水72-1锦橙植株的接穗部取嫩叶、老叶、皮,从砧木部茎杆上取老皮以及根皮分别提取总核酸进行RT-PCR检测,分析CEVd在甜橙体内的分布情况。初步检测结果表明在接穗的嫩叶、老叶、皮,砧木部茎杆的老皮和根皮上都可以检测到CEVd,以接穗部叶和皮检出稳定性高。     

研究网络文化改进高校思想政治教育

网络文化具有不同于现实丰十会文化形态的特性，网络文化的特性使网络用户作为主体参与网络活动具有不同于现实社会生活主体的特点。大学生是网络文化活动的重要参与者。高校思想政治教育应当研究网络文化与大学生的互动关系以及网络文化对大学生成长的影响，在坚持优良传统的基础上不断创新，积极主动地运用现代科技手段，营造良好的网络文化环境，卓有成效地开展网络思想政治工作，引导大学生健康成长。     

母猪卧向行为学的观察

本文通过2个试验对母猪在分娩圈和分娩栏中的卧向行为进行了观察,试验一中, 选择10头大白(Yorkshire)经产母猪作为观察对象,试验二中分别选择10头大白(Yorkshire) 经产母猪和10头长白(Landrace)经产母猪作为观察对象。观察采用瞬时记录方法,每周观察 三次,隔日观察,每天上午、下午各观察一次,每次3 h,每次观察间隔5 min。观察中发现,母猪 卧向以向外为主。分娩栏(四周是栏杆)中的母猪以选择卧向外(向北)为主,其次是卧向内(向 南),卧向左和卧向右最少且差异不显著,上栏前和下栏后差异不显著。分娩圈(四周是墙壁)中 母猪以选择卧向外为主,卧向内最少,卧向左和卧向右差异不显著。长白母猪比大白母猪选择 卧向外的多,妊娠阶段比哺乳阶段选择卧向外的多。     

菌根与植被恢复

菌根不仅可促进植物的营养吸收、生长发育、抗病、抗逆,而且在保持良好的土壤结构、控制水土流失方面具有直接的作用。在我国西北许多地区,菌根菌与植物间的共生关系已被中断,要恢复该地区的植被,治本的方法应是重建植物与菌根菌的共生关系,形成健康的生态系统。文中还提出了菌根技术在植被恢复中的应用策略。     

Selection and amplification of the liver stem cell subset from rat bone marrow cells with a medium containing cholestatic serum in vitro

AIM: To explore the feasibility of direct separat and selective enlargement of the bone marrow-derived liver stem cells (BDLSC) from bone marrow cells with a culture system containing cholestatic serum in vitro. METHODS: Bone marrow cells of rats were cultured with selective media containing 2%, 5%, 7% and 10% cholestatic rat serum, respectively. The BDLSC were then induced to proliferate with the addition of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on the firth day. BDLSC were characterized using immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR for lineage markers, glycogen staining and urea synthetic assay for functions 2 weeks later. RESULTS: Bone marrow cells were unble to form colony in the presence of 2% cholestatic serum and apopotosis appeared gradually in 7% or 10% cholestatic serum. The BDLSC survived in the medium containing 5% cholestatic serum while the other types of cells did not. The survival cells proliferated with a high speed during the second week and then formed hepatocyte-like colony-forming units (H-CFU). Cells in the H-CFU expressed the characteristic proteins of fetal hepatocytes. Furthermore, they had glycogen storage and urea synthesis functions, two of the critical features of hepatocytes. CONCLUSION: The selective micro-environment effectively selected BDLSC from the bone marrow cell, and will be a new way to provide an abundant source of donor hepatocytes for clinical cell therapy.     

Effect of mutant β-catenin gene on the proliferation of hepatocytes

AIM:The β-catenin is a key molecule in the Wnt signal pathway, which plays a critical role in normal development and tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms of the β-catenin on the cell growth control are still not completely defined. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the mutant β-catenin may regulate the hepatocyte proliferation. METHODS: The immortalized murine hepatocyte cell line, AML12, was used for this study. A plasmid that contain mutant β-catenin S33Y was transfected into the AML12 cells and a stable cell line AML12S33Y was established. The cell growth property of this cell line and the parental cell were compared by flow cytometry analysis and direct cell count. The cells were also tested for the ability to form soft agar colonies, and the ability to form tumors in the severe immune deficient mice (SCID). RESULTS:1. The mutant β-catenin containing cell line AML12S33Y has higher proliferating index compared with the parental AML12 cells (P<0.01), suggesting that mutant β-catenin promotes cell growth. 2. The mutant β-catenin cells formed small colonies in soft agar after 4 weeks of culture, but did not generate tumor in SCID mice. CONCLUSION:The mutant β-catenin promotes liver cell growth.     

Effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein and lysophosphatidylcholine on cholesterol efflux from mouse peritoneal macrophage foam cells

AIM:To explore the effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and one of its component— lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on cholesterol efflux from mouse macrophage foam cells.METHODS:(1) Cholesterol efflux induced by apoAI from mouse peritoneal macrophage foam cells loaded with OxLDL or acylated LDL(AcLDL) was measured. (2) Cholesterol efflux induced by LPC and apoAI from macrophage foam cells separated from normal or apoE gene deficient (E⁰) mouse loaded with AcLDL were measured.RESULTS:(1) When the macrophage foam cells were incubated with apoAI, cholesterol efflux from AcLDL-induced macrophage foam cells increased significantly compared to that of OxLDL-induced macrophage foam cells. (2) LPC promoted cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells in relation to both dosage and time. When LPC was incubated with E⁰ mouse macrophage foam cells, the released cholesterol mass was significantly lower than that of normal mouse macrophage foam cells. It was also found that cholesterol efflux induced by apoAI normally occurred in E⁰ mouse macrophage foam cells.CONCLUSIONS:(1) OxLDL accumulated cholesterol in macrophages and impair cholesterol efflux. (2) LPC induced cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells, which may occur via apoE pathway.     

Powdery Mildew of Prairie Gentian: Characteristics,Molecular Phylogeny and Pathogenicity

In March 1999, we found prairie gentian (Eustoma grandiflorum) infected with powdery mildew in a greenhouse in Oita Prefecture, Japan. Morphological observation revealed that the causal fungus belongs to the mitosporic genus Oidium subgenus Pseudoidium [teleomorph: Erysiphe sensu Braun and Takamatsu (2000)]. Precise taxonomic position of the fungus, however, is uncertain due to lack of the perfect stage. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the rDNA ITS region of the fungus. Comparison of the sequence with those obtained from DNA databases of this fungal group revealed that the sequence is identical to those of powdery mildews from garden four-o'clock (Mirabilis jalapa) and broad bean (Vicia faba). Inoculation of an isolate from garden four-o'clock caused mildew on prairie gentian and broad bean, suggesting that the prairie gentian mildew originates from garden four-o'clock or broad bean. Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicated a close relationship of this fungus to Erysiphe baeumleri on Vicia spp. and E. trifolii on Trifolium pratense. From these results, we propose that prairie gentian mildew diverged from a Fabaceae-parasitic ancestor. Received 14 March 2002/ Accepted in revised form 28 May 2002
