广东省稻菜轮作区中牛筋草对十种除草剂的抗性水平及靶基因序列分析

为明确广东省稻菜轮作区中牛筋草对10种常用除草剂的抗性水平及抗性分子机制,采用整株生物测定法测定广东省稻菜轮作区内8个牛筋草种群P1～P8对草甘膦、草铵膦和乙酰辅酶A羧化酶(acetyl-CoA carboxylase,ACCase)抑制剂类等10种除草剂的抗性水平,并进一步分析P1和P8种群相关靶标酶基因5-烯醇丙酮酰莽草酸-3-磷酸合酶(5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase,EPSPS)、谷氨酰胺合成酶(glutamine synthetase,GS)和ACCase的部分功能区序列特征。结果显示,牛筋草P1～P8种群对草甘膦抗性指数为敏感种群的5.9倍～17.7倍,其中P8种群对草甘膦的抗性水平最高;8个种群对草铵膦也产生了不同程度的抗性,抗性指数为敏感种群的2.3倍～14.2倍,其中P1种群抗性最高。牛筋草P1和P8种群均对ACCase抑制剂类除草剂精喹禾灵、氰氟草酯和噁唑酰草胺产生了交互抗性;P1种群ACCase基因在第2 041位氨基酸处发生突变,该突变在牛筋草种群中首次发现;而P8种群ACCase基因则在第2 027位氨基...     

Effects of pirenzepine on expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in stroma of sclera in chick myopic eyes

AIM:To observe the effect of intravitreal injection of pirenzepine on form-deprivation myopia in chicks. METHODS:Forty-one day old chicks were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group, form deprivation group, vehicle control group and pirenzepine injection group. The right eyes of all chicks were used as experimental eyes. The deprived eyes in vehicle control group and pirenzepine injection group received daily intravitreal injection of vehicle control solution(0.01 mol/L PBS) and pirenzepine(1%in PBS), respectively. Optical examinations such as refraction, axial length and equatorial diameter were made at the end of the 5th day. The mRNA and protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2(TIMP-2), and the activity of MMP-2 were detected by RT-PCR, Western blotting and zymography analysis,respectively. RESULTS:Refraction, axial length and equatorial diameter of the eyes in pirenzepine injection group were significantly lower than those in form deprivation group and vehicle control group(P<0.05), but those were higher(P<0.05) and the eyes were relatively myopic as compared with normal control group. The mRNA expression, protein le vels and activity of MMP-2 in pirenzepine group were significantly higher than those in normal control group(P<0.01), and were significantly lower than those in form deprivation group and vehicle control group(P<0.01, P<0.01). The mRNA and protein levels of TIMP-2 in pirenzepine group were significantly lower than those in normal control group(P<0.01), and was significantly higher than those in form deprivation group and vehicle control group(P<0.01, P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Intravitreal injection of pirenzepine may partly prevent form-deprivation myopia by modulating the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in the fibrous layer of sclera.     

Influence of moisture regime on inhibition of nitrification by DCD

A laboratory study at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi showed that DCD was an efficient nitrification inhibitor under field capacity moisture (???30 kPa) but not so under submerged soil conditions. Nitrification inhibition by DCD was 79.6% after 1 week of incubation and decreased to 59.3% after 3 weeks of incubation under field capacity moisture, while it was only 19.3% after 1 week of incubation and 10.6% and 18.4% after 2 and 3 weeks of incubation under submergence, respectively. DCD can play an important role in reducing N losses from agricultural fields.     

Advances in prevention of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastropathy by proton pump inhibitor

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are powerful in anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antirheumatic effects, and widely used in treating the corresponding diseases. Over the years, many new dosage forms and structures of NSAIDs appear since aspirin was developed 112 years ago. However, the universal use of NSAIDs produces unavoidable mucosal lesions in gastrointestinal tract. As yet, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) has been used in the treatment of gastropathy induced by NSAIDs. This article will focus on the advances in prevention of NSAIDs-induced gastropathy by proton pump inhibitor.

Caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO attenuates 10-hydroxycamptothecin-induced activation of NF-κB in Bcap37 cells

AIM:To investigate the role of caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO in caspase 3 signaling pathway and NF-κB activation induced by 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) in human breast carcinoma cells. METHODS:The cell growth inhibition was measured by MTT assay. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed for detecting cell apoptosis. Western blotting was used for determining protein expression. DIG-EMSA was conducted to measure the DNA-binding activation of NF-κB. RESULTS:Caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO attenuated HCPT-induced apoptosis in human breast carcinoma. Ac-DEVD-CHO also suppressed the degradation of caspase 3 and IκBα,and arrested the activation of NF-κB. CONCLUSION:Caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO regulates the activation of caspase 3 and NF-κB,and attenuates apoptosis in Bcap37 cell line induced by HCPT.     

抑制鹿源多药耐药结核菌中药的筛选

为了筛选对鹿源多药耐药结核菌有效的中药耐药抑制剂,通过MABA法检测24种中药的水和乙醇提取物对多药耐药结核菌及标准菌H37Rv的体外抗菌效果,将筛选出的抗菌效果好的黄连醇提物和黄连水提物采用紫外分光光度法进行活性成分含量测定,同时以MABA法与标准品比较体外抗结核菌活性。结果显示,黄连、独活和侧柏叶有明显的抗结核活性,其中黄连水粗提物和乙醇粗提物效果最佳,测得它们活性成分即总生物碱含量分别为22.74%和35.23%,并显示二者与小檗碱的体外抗结核作用相同。
