凤尾菇原基形成的细胞学研究

本研究对凤尾菇担孢子萌发至原基形成过程进行显微观察，结果表明，培养２０小时，大多数孢子已经萌发，初生菌丝长至３０μｍ左右开始产生分枝，但无锁状联合，有的初生菌丝能形成原垣孢子、培养约６天、两条初生菌丝通过顶端细胞或其他部位融合，发育成具有顶端分生孢子和锁状联合的次生菌丝体，培养２２天，大量次生菌丝的中部相互扭结，形成半球形的原基。     

应用电镜技术对狂犬病毒ERA株污染鼠痘病毒的检出

狂犬病毒ERA株BHK21细胞上增殖并用电镜技术跟踪观察。结果发现除了有少量的目的毒外，还混有大量的痘病毒，经鼠痘酶标抗体检测试剂盒检测为鼠痘病毒。该病毒很可能是来自做复壮狂犬病毒ERA株毒力试验的小白鼠。     

海南香蕉花叶病病毒分离物的研究

对海南产区感染花叶病的香蕉病株进行生物学分离获得一种直径为28—30nm的球形病毒分离物,该分离物汁液接种可引起香蕉花叶症状,并侵染一些黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV)的诊断寄主植物,提纯病毒外壳蛋白由一种分子量约为3.2×10~6道尔顿的亚基构成,琼脂免疫双扩散试验表明,该病毒分离物和CMV有血清学关系,根据这些性质该病毒分离物被鉴定为黄瓜花叶病毒。

夏橙果皮天然蜡和人工涂蜡表面的观察

 用扫描电子显微镜(SEM) 观察了有天然蜡和商业涂覆蜡存在的夏橙果实表面,并研究了天然蜡、洗果、脱蜡和商业涂覆蜡对果实失重的影响。结果表明: 夏橙果实表面的蜡片形状和大小均不规则, 大部分可用氯仿- 甲醇溶液去除; 除蜡极易加大果实失水; 涂蜡可部分和全部堵塞果实表面气孔。     

成年母鸡松果腺组织结构的研究

用透射与扫描电镜和荧光显微镜对25只成年母鸡的松果腺进行了系统观察。松果腺主要由松果体细胞组成,其间夹杂有少量胶质细胞。松果体细胞的核呈圆形或椭圆形,而胶质细胞的核多呈不规则形。松果体细胞具有突起,线粒体丰富,高尔基复合体发达,胞质中散布有核糖体,并见有粗面和滑面内质网、微管、溶酶体、脂滴以及少量致密核芯小体和板层小体。胶质细胞的结构特征为胞质中含有微丝。毛细血管内皮不含窗孔。本研究结果表明,鸡松果体细胞具有内分泌细胞的结构特征,因而认为鸡的松果腺是一个内分泌腺。     

Effect of antioxidants TA9901 on the fibril formation of Aβ1-40 injected into cerebral cortex of rat brain

AIM: To clarify if TA9901, a natural antioxidants, could inhibit the formation of β-amyloid (Aβ) fibril when Aβ_1-40 were injected into cerebral cortex of rat brain, and explore the mechanism of action of TA9901 on Alzheimer disesse. METHODS: Twelve Wistar rats (250-300 g) were randomly divided into four groups (n=3). (1) control group; (2) TA9901 treatment group (ip 100 mg·kg^-1 ·d^-1); (3) Vitamin E (VE) treatment group (ip 100 mg·kg^-1 ·d^-1); (4) PBS group. 5 μL 0.2% Aβ_1-40 was immediately injected into the right side of the deep cerebral cortex of control, TA9901 and VE group rats. The animals were sacrificed at the seventh day after the injection. The sections of the rat brain that contained the injected field were examined with transmission electron microscopy and Congo red staining with polarized microscopy. RESULTS: Many depositions of high electron density were observed by electron microscopy in the field where Aβ_1-40was injected. They are intimately intermingled with macrophages and astrocytes. In the field, abou10nm fibrillar structures were observed that appeared similar to the fibrils seen in senile plaque (SP) of the brain of Alzheimer disease (AD). The fields in control and VE group contained richer Aβ fibrils than that in TA9901 group. After the sections stained with Congo red, A1-40aggregation demonstrated intense birefringence under, indication the formation of amyloid fibrils. In TA9901 group, there was a weak birefringence. CONCLUSIONS: TA9901 can inhibit the fibril formation of Aβ that was injected into deep cerebral cortex of rat brain, this indicates primarily that TA9901 may be a potential therapeutic drug to interfere with the progression of amyloidgenesis in AD.     

The gastrointestinal mucosa in young milk-fed calves. A scanning electron and light microscopic investigation

Gastrointestinal segments from 4 healthy, 17-, 21-, 22- and 23-day-old calves fed on whole cow’s milk were examined. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the anterior duodenum had short villi varying in shape from leaf-shaped to nodular; the middle duodenum had broad, tongue-shaped villi and the anterior, middle, and parts of the posterior jejunum had slender, finger-shaped or leaf-shaped villi. The villi of the mucosa covering Peyer’s patches in the posterior jejunum were short and either conical or tongue-shaped; there were also small “pseudovilli” caused by bulges in the lymphoid tissue. Morphometry showed that the villi were longer in the anterior jejunum than in the duodenum and the posterior parts of the jejunum (P < 0.005). Morphologically fat absorption was most heavy in the anterior third of the small intestine. Moderate amounts of fat were also found in the epithelium of the posterior jejunum and of the abomasum. Large fat droplets were seen in apical duodenal enterocytes, in contrast to the small epithelial droplets in other areas with fat absorption. Nile blue staining indicated that the fat in the large droplets was esterified.     

Further data to the aetiology, pathogenesis and therapy of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis

Out of a total of 224 bovine eye secretions, 126 Moraxella bovis and 64 Neisseria ovis strains were isolated. The pathogenesis and histological lesions caused by Neisseria ovis have been studied on the eyes of three calves naturally affected with IBK, using electron microscopy.

Neisseria ovis caused in 1–12 weeks old calves acute, transient and mostly benign serous conjunctivitis with only slight affection of the cornea. More rarely erosions and even ulceration of the cornea have been observed.

Moraxella bovis and Neisseria ovis strains proved nearly unanimously sensitive in vitro to chloramphenicol, neomycin, oxytetracyclin, nitrofurantoin, erythromycin and cefoperazone. Other antibiotics and chemotherapeutics inhibited the growth of these agents only partly or were ineffective.

Experimental therapy has been carried out using a single i.m. injection of Terramycin/LA inj. (Pfizer) in a dose of 20 mg/kg body mass, repeated if necessary after 72–96 h. This formulation proved more effective and practical than treatments used earlier.
