苦参注射液治疗乙型肝炎性肝硬化疗效及其作用机制研究

目的：观察苦参注射液对慢性乙型肝炎性肝硬化的临床效果及其作用机制.方法将58例慢性乙型肝炎性肝硬化患者随机分为观察组和对照组,在一般支持治疗的基础上,观察组加用苦参注射液,治疗8周后,比较两组肝功能、肝纤维化指标.结果观察组肝功能改善显著,肝纤维化减轻,与对照组比较差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）.结论在正常治疗基础上加用苦参注射液,有助于肝炎性肝硬化患者的肝功能恢复,有较好的临床效果.其作用机制可能是通过影响外周单核细胞IL-10表达、调节机体促炎抗炎平衡而实现的.     

转基因植物中删除选择标记基因的研究进展

选择标记基因广泛应用于植物转基因工程中,然而这些基于除草剂和抗生素类抗性选择标记基因的利用,在转基因筛选和鉴定完成后功能多余。当前转基因植物的标记基因及相关产物对环境污染和食用安全的潜在影响,已经引起了人们的广泛关注。随着转基因技术的不断发展和人们对转基因植物和食品安全性的关注,删除转基因植物中的选择标记基因非常重要。文章着重讨论了植物转基因过程中,选择标记基因的利用,删除选择标记基因的几种方法,包括共转化法、位点特异性重组、染色体内重组、转座子介导的重组、删除叶绿体转化中选择标记基因,以及无选择标记基因植株的直接再生等。同时,还对这些技术的发展作了展望。     

PRRSV特异性肽对CSF、PRRS免疫猪IFN-Y、IL-10分泌的影晌

应用PRRSV-GP5特异性肽刺激CSF、PRRS免疫猪外周血淋巴细胞,采用EI。IsA方法测定不同时间点淋巴细胞分泌IFN-7及IL-10的水平,分析PRRSv_GP5特异性肽刺激后,淋巴细胞培养上清中细胞因子的变化规律。结果显示,CSFV高抗PRRSV低抗体组于PRRSV免疫14d,肽刺激组中IFN-7水平显著高于对照组（P〈0．05）;其他组均差异不显著（P〉0．05）。PRRSV免疫14d,细胞培养24,72h后加PRRSV—GP5肽刺激,各组中试验组与对照组相比IL-10水平明显降低（P〈0．01）;PRRSV免疫28d,各组中肽刺激组与空白组相比,IL-10水平均无显著性差异（P〉0．05）。结果表明,PRRSV-GP5肽在PRRSV免疫早期可以促进IFN-7的分泌,并抑制IL-10的产生,但在免疫后期对淋巴细胞分泌的调节作用还需进-步研究。     

High‐level exogenous trans10, cis12 conjugated linoleic acid plays an anti‐lipogenesis role in bovine mammary epithelial cells

Primary bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) were treated by 0, 37.5, 75, 112.5, 150 μmol/L trans10, cis12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) to evaluate the effects of different level trans10, cis12 CLA on lipogenesis in BMEC. Addition of 75–150 μmol/L trans10, cis12 CLA reduced significantly the triacylglycerol (TAG) content (P < 0.05), but did not have inhibiting action on cell proliferation (P > 0.05). Treatment with 150 μmol/L trans10, cis12 CLA for 48 h resulted in a 17.1% reduction (P < 0.0001) of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA, C14 < C < C16), a 26.5% reduction (P < 0.0001) of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and a corresponding reduction of the mRNA abundance of acetyl coenzyme A (acetylCoA) carboxylase (ACC) (P = 0.046), fatty acid synthase (FAS) (P = 0.017) and stearoylCoA desaturase1 (SCD1) (P = 0.002). Another finding was that trans10, cis12 CLA elevated expression of diacylglycerol acyltransferase2 (DGAT2) (P = 0.020) and long chain acylCoA synthetases (ACSL) (P = 0.032). In conclusion, higher trans10, cis12 CLA, not low trans10, cis12 CLA, inhibited milk fat synthesis and changed fatty acid composition by regulating the expression of FAS, ACC, SCD1, DGAT2 and ACSL.     

Characterization of nonautonomous Tc1-like transposable elements of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Putative nonautonomous transposable elements from channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) were identified. They were named Tipnon elements for Tc1-like transposable elements from channel catfish that are nonautonomous. These elements were defined by their terminal repeats that share identity to members of the known Tc1/mariner transposon superfamily. They show structural similarities to Tc1-like elements, but share little sequence identity beyond the terminal inverted repeats. They do not harbor any amino acid blocks that show similarities to the Tc1-like or other transposases and thus may represent truly nonautonomous transposons in channel catfish. They are abundant in the channel catfish genome with a copy number of 32000, having 500 base pair per copy, this family of nonautonomous transposon-like elements account for 1.6% of the channel catfish genomic DNA. Their high abundance and transposon-like terminal repeats indicate that they may play important roles in gene evolution and in genomic architecture of catfish. Similarity search for potential coding capacity of the Tipnon elements revealed that they contain sequence blocks that can potentially encode amino acid blocks similar to the para-type sodium channel proteins in cockroaches or house flies, proteins that function in the central nervous system as voltage-gated sodium transporters. Sequences surrounding the terminal inverted repeats are divergent from those used by the reconstructed Sleeping Beauty fish transposase.

铅对3种烟草的毒害效应及其临界浓度

通过盆栽试验,研究铅对福建省3个主栽烟草品种（翠碧1号、K326、云烟87）的毒害效应及其临界值。结果表明,在铅毒害时,烟草表现为植株变矮、叶面积减小、根长变短。不同生长时期烟草对铅毒害的敏感性不同,生长中期较敏感。不同部位对铅毒害的敏感性不同,茎比其他部位敏感;下部叶比中上部叶敏感。翠碧1号、K326、云烟87不同部位的 EC10值（生物量降低10％时土壤中有效铅的浓度）依次为：下部叶＜根部＜茎＜中部叶＜上部叶;根部＜上部叶＜茎＜下部叶＜中部叶;上部叶＜下部叶＜茎＜根＜中部叶。3种烟草品种中翠碧1号对铅毒害最敏感,且中部叶为烟草食用的重要部位。因此,采用翠碧1号中部叶的 EC10值代表土壤铅对3种烟草毒害临界值,为66．88mg·kg－1,此值可以作为福建省植烟土壤铅的毒害临界值制定的依据。     

种植密度对克单10号产量和生理指标的影响

为了进一步提高玉米产量,以克单10号为试材,在3种植密度下,研究了种植密度对克单10号的产量和生理指标的影响。结果表明:随着种植密度增加,玉米个体产量、主要产量相关性状、单株叶面积及单株地上部干物质积累量均呈现降低的趋势,群体地上部干物质积累量和群体叶面积指数则呈现升高趋势。其中种植密度为4.5万~6.0万株·hm-2时,产量最高。
