Effects of TRAF3 on inhibiting cyst formation induced by NF-κB signaling in kidney

AIM: To investigate the effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated factor 3 (TRAF3) on the signaling pathway of NF-κB and the expression of Bax and Bid in renal collecting duct epithelial cells of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and to observe the tubulogenesis of TRAF3 transgenics for exploring the protective effect of TRAF3 on the cystogenesis and development of PKD. METHODS: The signaling changes of NF-κB and expression of Bax and Bid in PKD renal collecting duct epithelial cells and TRAF3 transgenic PKD renal collecting duct epithelial cells were determined by the Western blot. The percentage of apoptotic cells was measured by flow cytometry with Annexin V staining. The caspase-3 activity was also measured. The 3D Matrigel culture was performed to examine abnormal tubulomorphogenesis in vitro. RESULTS: The over-expression of TRAF3 significantly inhibited the signaling pathway of NF-κB in PKD renal collecting duct epithelial cells and significantly downregulated the expression of Bax and Bid, and also decreased the cell apoptosis. More branch structures were observed in the TRAF3 transgenic PKD renal collecting duct epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: TRAF3 is a negative regulatory inhibitor for Bax and Bid by regulating the NF-κB signaling and may be a new target for inhibiting the cyst formation in PKD.     

基于MODIS数据的伊犁河谷植被指数变化及其对气候的响应

利用2006-2014年主要生长季(5-9月)的MODIS遥感数据,分析了2006-2014年的年平均NDVI和生长季月NDVI变化规律。同时,收集整理同期伊犁河谷地区的气温与降水资料,并对NDVI与当月、2个月滑动、3个月滑动和5个月滑动的平均气温、降水值进行了相关性分析。结果表明,NDVI与气温、降水都存在一定的相关性,NDVI受当月平均气温的影响最大;NDVI与当月降水和滑动平均降水的相关性都很好,但3个月滑动平均降水对NDVI的影响最大,并且通过了0.01的极显著性检验。     

准噶尔荒漠区域尺度浅层土壤化学计量特征及其空间分布格局

干旱荒漠生态系统具有降水稀少、土壤贫瘠、生物多样性低的特点,对荒漠土壤生态化学计量特征的研究有助于深入了解荒漠土壤养分供给能力及其对生物多样性和生态系统稳定性的影响。对准噶尔荒漠79个样点浅层(0~10cm)土壤及环境因子进行调查取样,分析了土壤有机碳(C)、全氮(N)及全磷(P)化学计量特征、空间分布及其影响因素。结果表明,准噶尔荒漠土壤C、N、P平均含量分别为(5.73±0.49),(0.207±0.009)和(0.347±0.004)g/kg,C∶N、C∶P、N∶P分别为(29.92±2.55),(15.97±1.23)和(0.498±0.024)。土壤P稳定性最高(CV=0.098),而C、C∶N和C∶P的变异性较强(CV=0.687~0.758)。C、P、C∶N及C∶P在不同生境(沙漠、戈壁和盐碱荒漠)、不同群落(白梭梭、梭梭及小灌木)间均存在差异。与全国及全球平均水平相比,准噶尔荒漠土壤C、N、P含量、C∶P及N∶P均较低而C∶N较高,养分元素缺乏程度表现为NCP。土壤养分元素及其化学计量比之间多具有显著的二次函数关系,且化学计量比主要受C和N的制约。在区域尺度上,各化学计量参数表现出明显的空间异质性,其中C、C∶N和C∶P分布格局相似,并受年降水量、纬度和经度的影响;N与N∶P分布格局相似,受经度、海拔和年均温的影响。

用七级目测法调查江苏150个样点麦田草害情况,应用主成分分析对江苏省麦田杂草群落进行了研究。结果表明,决定江苏麦田杂草发生、分布和危害的主要因素是地带性气候 土壤性质因素。将150个样点划分为5个聚类群,即江南稻茬麦田、宁镇扬丘陵旱茬麦田、沿海旱茬麦田、徐淮旱茬麦田和沿江及苏北稻茬麦田聚类群,根据综合草害指数和发生频率明确了各聚类群相应的优势杂草,并就该地区麦田杂草发生的特点提出了治理的建议。     

棉麦两熟棉纤维强度与铃期气象因子关系研究

研究棉麦两熟棉纤维强度与铃期气象因子关系的结果表明,相对湿度是影响棉麦两熟多类型、棉株多部位铃棉纤维强度的主要气象因子,相对湿度对纤维强度的作用均为负效应,作用大小因棉铃着生部位而异。日照时数对两熟春棉、温度对两熟短季棉棉株上部（７～９果枝）、顶部（１０以上果枝）铃棉纤维强度有重要作用,均为正效应。     

Study on Analysis Methods for Rock Slope FoundationStability of the Highrise Building

Based on the practical project a study on analysis methods for rock slope foundation stability of highrise-building project criterion transfer coefficient method, rotation limit equilibrium method (Sweden slices method) and finite element method was carried out.The authors found that safety factor of criterion transfer coefficient method is larger than that of rotation limit equilibrium method, but is similar to the results of finite element method. So, when rockslope foundation stability of highrise building is to be analysed,the rotation limit equilibrium method is suggested to use.

马尾松不同种源氨基酸含量与抗松材线虫病的关系

在选出和验证抗病马尾松种源的基础上,研究了马尾松不同抗病性种源的树体内氨基酸含量的差异。结果表明,抗病种源在接种松材线虫前后均比较感种源含有较少的组氨酸、苏氨酸、甘氨酸、异亮氨酸、胱氨酸、甲硫氨酸、亮氨酸、酪氨酸和精氨酸等９种游离氨基酸。它们与感病指数均呈正相关,这说明游离氨基酸含量低的马尾松种源抗松材线虫病。１１种固态氨基酸的含量与感病指数有负相关性,说明其含量较高的种源具较强抗病性能。
