日本大耳白兔TLR3部分cDNA克隆及mRNA在组织中的分布

采用RT—PCR技术从日本大耳白兔的脾脏组织克隆出兔的Toll样受体基因3（命名为。TLR3），并对其mRNA在兔的17种组织中的分布情况进行了检测。结果显示，RTLR3核苷酸序列与GenBank中登载的穴兔（Oryctolagus cuniculus）TLR3序列（登录号：NM_001082219）相似性为100％；兔的胸腺、脾脏、睾丸等14种组织中检测出TLR3 mRNA的转录产物，而在骨骼、胃和皮肤中未能发现。推导的氨基酸序列同源性比对表明，兔TLR3与人、野猪、牛、猫、褐鼠等动物的同源性最高，为80％-85％；与原鸡同源性次之，为61％；与草鱼、绿河豚等同源性在45％～48％之间；系统进化树分析表明，兔TLR3与马的亲缘关系最接近，与猪、人／绵羊、牛、猩猩／猫的亲缘关系依次渐远，与鼠的亲缘关系最远。可见，TLR3在不同种属动物及不同组织中所起的作用具有生物多样性。     

Comparison and analysis of the staining methods for cholesterol

Cholesterol staining is a useful approach for the visualization, localization and quantification of cholesterol in cells or tissues, which is frequently used to investigate the mechanisms of some diseases such as arteriosclerosis, Niemann-Pick disease type C, and Alzheimer's disease. It can be accomplished through various microscopes including light microscope, fluorescent microscope, and electronic microscope. During the past decades, various types of methods for cholesterol staining with different principles have been established for different applications. It is important to choose an appropriate method that is suitable for particular experimental aims, features and conditions. At present, three kinds of methods are frequently applied: filipin fluorescent method, BCθ(a biotinylated and carlsberg protease-nicked derivative of perfringolysin O) toxin method, and cholesterol oxidase-diaminobenzidine(oxidase-DAB) method. Four kinds of methods are scarcely applied: Schultze method, perchloric acid-naphthoquinone method(PAN), digitonin method, and o-phthalaldehyde method. In this review, the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of these methods are compared with the emphasis of the application, sensitivity, and specificity.

Long-Term Effect of Fertilizer and Rice Straw on Mineral Composition and Potassium Adsorption in a Reddish Paddy Soil

Increasing K⁺ adsorption can be an effective alternative in building an available K pool in soils to optimize crop recovery and minimize losses into the environment. We hypothesized that long-term fertilization might change K⁺ adsorption because of changes in the chemical and mineralogical properties of a rice (Oryza sativa L.). The aims of this study were (i) to determine clay minerals in paddy soil clay size fractions using X-ray diffraction methods and a numerical diagram-decomposition method; (ii) to measure K⁺ adsorption isotherms before and after H₂O₂ oxidation of organic matter, and (iii) to investigate whether K⁺ adsorption is correlated with changes in soil chemical and mineral properties. The 30-yr long-term fertilization treatments caused little change in soil organic C (SOC) but a large variation in soil mineral composition. The whole-clay fraction (<5 μm) corresponded more to the fertilization treatment than the fine-clay fraction (<1 μm) in terms of percentage of illite peak area. The total percentage of vermiculite-chlorite peak area was significantly negatively correlated with the total percentage of illite peak area in the <5 μm soil particles (R=-0.946, P<0.0006). Different fertilization treatments gave significantly different results in K⁺ adsorption. The SOC oxidation test showed positive effects of SOC on K⁺ adsorption at lower K⁺ concentration (?120 mg L^?1) and negative effects at higher K⁺ concentration (240 mg L^?1). The K⁺ adsorption by soil clay minerals after SOC oxidization accounted for 60–158% of that by unoxidized soils, suggesting a more important role of soil minerals than SOC on K⁺ adsorption. The K⁺ adsorption potential was significantly correlated to the amount of poorly crystallized illite present (R=0.879, P=0.012). The availability of adsorbed K⁺ for plant growth needs further study.

陆地棉对黄萎病抗性的分子标记研究

 利用陆地棉标准系TM-1和常抗棉2个陆地棉品种杂交并自交,获得109个F₂单株及F_2:3家系为作图群体,以SSR、RAPD和SRAP 3种分子标记进行抗黄萎病性状的分子标记筛选。结果从1611对(条)引物中仅筛选到70对(条)多态性引物,获得75个多态性位点并进行标记间的连锁性分析。75个标记构建了一个包括15个连锁群,全长535 cM的陆地棉品种间分子标记遗传连锁图,标记间平均距离为11.15 cM,有27个标记不能进入任何连锁群。连锁群的标记数最少2个,最多6个;长度从1.0 cM到92.7 cM不等。对其F_2:3家系的成株期抗黄萎病性状即平均病情指数的分布进行分析,显示其呈正态分布,进一步说明陆地棉对黄萎病的抗性为数量遗传;单标记分析及复合区间作图,检测出与抗黄萎病性相关的3个QTL,分别位于第3、5、6连锁群上,贡献率分别为14.15%、3.45%和18.78%。另外,对该群体生长过程中黄萎病不同发病高峰期的病情也进行了分析。     

Relationship between serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-10, IL-6 and acute coronary syndrome

AIM: To examine the relation between serum concentrations of interleukin-18, interleukin-10, interleukin-6 and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS: Serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-10, IL-6 were measured in 17 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 30 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP), 15 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and 20 controls by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA).The relation between IL-18, IL-6 and IL-10 was compared. RESULTS: Serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-6 were significantly increased in the AMI and UAP groups in comparison with the SAP and control groups. Conversely, serum concentrations of IL-10 were significantly decreased in the AMI and UAP groups in comparison with the SAP and control groups. The correlation of concentrations of IL-18 and IL-6 had no significance; but the levels of IL-18 and IL-6 were negatively correlated with IL-10. CONCLUSION: Serum IL-18, IL-6 concentrations increase while serum IL-10 concentration decreases in patients with acute coronary syndromes. The inflammatory imbalance between IL-18, IL-6 and IL-10 may play an important role in the instability of atherosclerotic plaque.
