烟草高分子量核DNA提取方法比较

高分子量(HMW)核DNA的制备是构建BAC文库关键环节之一。为构建高质量的烟草BAC文库,作者研究了一次选择法和二次选择法提取烟草高分子量核DNA的效果。研究结果表明:虽然二次选择法得到的高分子量核DNA浓度较低,但此法省略了对细胞核连续3￣5次的漂洗,而且得到含DNA的凝胶块(plugs)数量是用一次选择法的3倍,因此得到高分子量DNA的总量更高;同时二次选择法得到的plugs纯度更高,排除了酶切时细胞杂质对HMWDNA的干扰,此外在节约材料等方面也优于一次选择法。     

Inhibition of low-density lipoprotein oxidation and oxidative burst in polymorphonuclear neutrophils by caffeic acid and hispidin derivatives isolated from sword brake fern (Pteris ensiformis Burm.)

Several antioxidant compounds have been previously identified from sword brake fern (Pteris ensiformis Burm.) by DPPH bleaching and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) analyses. Among the isolates, 7-O-caffeoylhydroxymaltol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside and hispidin 4-O-beta- D-glucopyranoside [6-(3,4-dihydroxystyryl)-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside-2-pyrone] were two new compounds. The aim of this study is to elucidate the possible effect of the aqueous extract of sword brake fern (SBF) and these two compounds in preventing atherosclerosis. The results demonstrated that SBF and these two compounds strongly inhibited Cu2+-mediated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation measured by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances assay (TBARS), conjugated diene production, and relative electrophoretic mobility. The commercial antioxidant dl-alpha-tocopherol showed lower antioxidant activity than these two compounds at the same molecular concentration. SBF and these two compounds also suppressed N-formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). These findings indicate that sword brake fern may prevent atherosclerosis via inhibition of both LDL oxidation and ROS production.     

牛奶中蛋白质含量的直接电位测定方法研究

在碱性条件下牛奶中的两性氨基酸与甲醛溶液反应,氨基上的两个氢原子被次甲基所取代,失去了氨基的碱性特性,释放出游离的羧基,从而使牛奶的电化学特性发生变化。据此,笔者提出并建立了一种全新的快速测定牛奶中蛋白质含量的直接电位方法。实验研究结果表明,其蛋白质含量的线性测定范围为2.4～3.0%,回收率高达95%以上。该方法具有操作使用简单方便快捷准确等特点,在乳品企业的生产实践中具有一定的推广使用价值。     

蚓激酶成熟肽的原核表达及纯化

应用PCR技术扩增获得蚓激酶成熟肽基因，并按相应的阅读框架克隆入表达载体pGEX-4T中谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（GST）的下游。重组质粒转化大肠杆菌Rosetta株，分别在1．0mmol／LIPTG、37℃和0．1mmol／L IPTG、28℃条件下诱导，蚓激酶成熟肽-GST融合蛋白获得了高效表达，且后者得到了可溶性蛋白。经SDS-PAGE证实所表达的融合蛋白产物相对分子量与预期的53kD相符。并且以等电点和亲和层析的方法对表达出的可溶性蛋白进行了纯化。     

B-cell immunoblastic lymphoma with multinucleated giant cells in a cat

A 10-year-old male mixed breed cat died after six months history of intermittent vomiting and weight loss. At necropsy, large white-colored foci were found in both kidneys, and whitish thickening of the gastric wall was present at the pyloric part of the stomach. Histopathological examination revealed that both lesions consisted of proliferation of large-sized neoplastic lymphocytes intermingled with multinucleated giant cells. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive for both B-cell antigen receptor complex (CD 79 alpha cy) and MHC class II, although multinucleated giant cells were negative. The present case was diagnosed as B-cell immunoblastic lymphoma with multinucleated giant cells.

己唑醇在梨和土壤中残留量的气相色谱分析方法

建立了气相色谱仪测定梨果和土壤中己唑醇的残留分析方法,并开展了市售梨果样品中己唑醇残留量的检测。梨果和土壤样品以乙腈为提取溶剂提取,用中性氧化铝和弗罗里硅土的混合柱净化,经浓缩后正己烷定容,GC-ECD测定己唑醇残留量。在添加浓度范围内(0.01~0.5 mg·kg~(-1)),梨果中己唑醇的平均添加回收率为77.4%~99.1%,相对标准偏差为7.5%~9.8%;土壤中己唑醇的平均添加回收率为82.2%~95.3%,相对标准偏差为5.8%~9.9%。该方法的准确性、精确性均达到农药残留分析的要求。采用该方法对市售梨果实际样品的检测结果表明,梨果中己唑醇的残留量均未超过最高残留限量值。     

Ribavirin, a nucleoside with potential insecticidal activity

BACKGROUND: The triazole-based antiviral nucleoside ribavirin exhibited significant in vitro insecticidal effects against Spodoptera litura, a finding that has prompted further investigations into its in vivo insecticidal properties and mode of action against this insect pest. RESULTS: Ribavirin showed delayed insecticidal effects on third-instar larvae of S. litura at a concentration of 1 mg mL⁻¹. When incorporated into an artificial diet, ribavirin caused various effects, depending on the concentration used. Compared with controls, food intake was lower, larval growth was reduced and larval development prolonged. Pupae weight was reduced, and adult morphology was also affected. Relative to the untreated group, treated groups showed higher mortality at larval and pupal stages, which was generally caused by moult disruption. Results of this study with ribavirin resemble those found in treatment with insect growth regulators. CONCLUSION: This work shows that ribavirin merits further study as a lead compound in a novel class of potential insect control agents or for managing field populations of Lepidoptera pests on cruciferous crops.
