Effects of angiotensin II-induced hypertension chemotherapy on the activity of interleukin-1β converting enzyme in transplanted intracerebral rat gliomas

AIM: To investigate the activity of interleukin-1β converting enzyme in transplanted intracerebral rat gliomas under angiotensin II-induced hypertension chemotherapy. METHODS: The brain tumor model was produced in Wistar rats by stereotaxic inoculation of C6 glioma cells (1×10¹² /L). Tumor-bearing rats were treated with carmustine, teniposide and lisplatin (chemotherapy) during angiotensin II-induced hypertension. Then, the survival time of tumor-bearing rats, tumor blood flow, the concentration of drug, volume of gliomas and the activity of interleukin-1β converting enzyme in glioma were examined.RESULTS: The survival time of tumor-bearing rats was significantly longer in chemotherapy with angiotensin II-induced hypertension group than that of chemotherapy alone. In addition, regional tumor blood flow, the concentration of chemotherapeutic drug and the activity of interleukin -1β converting enzyme in transplanted rat gliomas were increased, while the volume of gliomas was decreased in hypertention chemotherapy group compared with chemotherapy alone. CONCLUSION: Chemotherapy with angiotensin II-induced hypertension has a enhancing effect on chemotherapy for improving the drug delivery to tumor tissue by a increased tumor blood flow and enhancing activity of interleukin -1β converting enzyme.     

中生菌素对水稻白叶枯病的防治机制

对不同白叶枯病抗性水稻品种用200μg/ml中生菌素55℃温汤药液浸种，自然降温，秧田3—4叶期和移栽前5d各用30μg/ml中生菌素处理后，于成株期剪叶接种白叶枯病菌。结果表明中生菌素前期处理，于成株期接种白叶枯病菌时，高抗、中等抗性和感病品种中过氧化物酶、苯丙氨酸解氨酶和多酚氧化酶3种酶活性都有不同程度的提高，且以中等抗性品种酶活提高最多，接种24和48h，3种酶活性较清水对照分别增加26．92％、26．74％、24．06％和7．09％、1．31％、1．60％。盆栽试验表明，中生菌素对中抗品种的防治效果最好，达58．4％。说明中生菌素对水稻防御酶活性的诱激作用是其防治白叶枯病的机制之一。     

食用菌复合保水颗粒菌种生产工艺及其应用研究

运用微生物发酵技术，配合新型合成材料，研制出食用菌复合保水颗粒菌种。这类菌种可保持活力60d。这一工艺可用于糙皮侧耳、金针菇、灵芝、白灵菇、杏鲍菇、鸡腿蘑和鲍鱼菇等多种食用菌苗种的制作。栽培试验证明，此类菌种的菌丝生长速度、现蕾时间、生物学效率与常用的棉籽壳菌种相似。     

红掌细菌性疫病的病原菌初步鉴定

 在云南西双版纳的红掌上发现一种由细菌侵染引起的病害,从叶片的病组织上分离到具有致病性的杆状细菌,将分离的病原菌接种于健康的红掌上,表现出与田间一致的症状。感病初期在叶缘或叶脉间出现水渍状小点,后期病斑多呈棕褐色至黑色坏死,病健交界处多呈黄色。从接种发病的病斑与田间标样上分离的病原菌菌落形态完全相同。通过菌株的培养性状、常规生理生化特性及透射电镜下菌体形态观察结果,将病原菌初步鉴定为黄单胞菌属(Xanthomonas)。BIOLOG鉴定和致病性测定结果进一步鉴定病原菌为地毯草黄单胞菌花叶万年青致病变种Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae(Xad)(McCulloch & Pirone) Vauterin et al.     

The mechanism of apoptosis induced by homoharringtonine in HL-60 cells

AIM: To study the signal transduction pathway of apoptosis initiation induced by homoharringtonine in HL-60 cells. METHODS: After establishing the model of apoptosis initiation induced by homoharringtonine in HL-60 cells, at the point of apoptosis initiation, molecular caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax and Fas/FasL were measured with flow cytometry and transmission electron microscope. ERK2 and P38 expression in HL-60 cells were detected by using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The model of apoptosis initiation induced by homoharringtonine was established in HL-60 cells. At the point of apoptosis initiation, upregulation of caspase-3 and decrease in Bcl-2/Bax were observed. However, the expression of Fas/FasL did not significantly change. ERK2 expression decreased and P38 expression increased. CONCLUSIONS: Caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax and mitogen activated protein kinase pathways were involved in signal transduction of apoptosis initiation induced by homoharringtonine in HL-60 cells.     

猪瘟病毒E2(gp55)基因在昆虫细胞中的表达

将除去3'端跨膜区的猪瘟病毒E2基因亚克隆到杆状病毒转移载体pFastBacHTb,获得重组质粒pFBHT-E2,转化进含穿梭载体Bacmid的感受态细胞DH10Bac,发生转座作用,经抗性及蓝白斑筛选得到含E2基因的重组载体质粒rBacmid-E2,以脂质体介导的方法将此重组载体质粒转染sf9昆虫细胞,获得重组病毒,命名为rvBac-E2.经SDS-PAGE和Western-blot及ELISA等方法检测,结果表明,此E2基因在昆虫细胞中正确表达,表达的蛋白能与猪瘟阳性血清发生特异性反应.     

仙居鸡染色体G带和Ag-NORs的研究

运用改进的鸡外周血淋巴细胞培养——空气干燥法，分析了仙居鸡染色体G带和Ag—NORs。G带研究结果表明：前10对大型染色体可分为30个区，144条带，同时对G带带型特征进行了具体描述，并绘制了G带模式图。Ag—NORs处理发现：仙居鸡的Ag—NORs常分布于1p、3p、4p、Zp、2q上，均数为3．26，众数为3。不同个体间以及同一个体的不同细胞间。Ag—NORs数目存在多态性；此外研究还发现Ag—NORs联合现象。     

鸭疫里氏杆菌形态特征的电镜观察

自鸭传染性浆膜炎的病死鸭中分离鉴定的鸭疫里氏杆菌(RA)Ⅰ、Ⅱ型两个菌株，用负染法和超薄切片法制备样品，于透射电镜下进行观察。结果观察到约占1／3的RA具有特殊的形态结构：在细菌的顶端或侧面有1～2个与菌体相连的芽状赘生物，有的也能从菌体上脱落下来。它在超薄切片中的大小约为菌体的1／3～1／5，能观察到其内部也具有类似菌体内部的结构。且具有类似菌体的“细胞壁”，类似于核体部分的结构位于“细胞壁”的一侧。而用相同的方法制作的鸭大肠杆菌(E．cozi)对照样品，却见不到这种特殊的形态结构。说明这种形态特征可能是RA特有的。
