Neuroprotective Metabolites from Vietnamese Marine Derived Fungi of Aspergillus and Penicillium Genera

Low molecular weight secondary metabolites of marine fungi Aspergillus flocculosus, Aspergillus terreus and Penicillium sp. from Van Phong and Nha Trang Bays (Vietnam) were studied and a number of polyketides, bis-indole quinones and terpenoids were isolated. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS techniques. Stereochemistry of some compounds was established based on ECD data. A chemical structure of asterriquinone F (6) was thoroughly described for the first time. Anthraquinone (13) was firstly obtained from a natural source. Neuroprotective influences of the isolated compounds against 6-OHDA, paraquat and rotenone toxicity were investigated. 4-Hydroxyscytalone (1), 4-hydroxy-6-dehydroxyscytalone (2) and demethylcitreoviranol (3) have shown significant increasing of paraquat- and rotenone-treated Neuro-2a cell viability and anti-ROS activity.     

Rural depopulation and recent landscape changes in a Mediterranean region: Consequences to the breeding avifauna

We studied the vegetational and avifaunistic changes following rural depopulation in an area covering 2,600 ha north of Montpellier (Southern France). The study area is covered by a mosaic of Mediterranean habitats that includes cultivation, grasslands, shrublands, and woodlands and is representative of the natural features present and of the human usage practiced so far in this part of the Mediterranean. We sampled the vegetation and the bird fauna in the same 193 census plots in 1978 and in 1992. At both the habitat and landscape scales the cover of woody plants increased significantly. Open habitats tend to disappear. As a consequence the abundance of open-habitat bird species decreased significantly whereas the abundance of forest birds increased significantly. These changes favor a pool of forest species widespread in western Europe and reduce habitat availability for open habitat and shrubland species. Many of the latter are Mediterranean species whose distribution in Western Europe could become reduced under current landscape dynamics. Our observation of more woodlands and their typical birds and of less open habitats and their associated avifauna is not consistent with the traditional worry shown by the public and the managers about the regression of forests and woodlands in the Northern Mediterranean as a consequence of fire.     

猪水泡病病毒结构蛋白基因的克隆及其蛋白二级结构和淋巴细胞表位的预测

以免疫信息学和反向疫苗学为理论根据，利用RT-PCR法获得了猪水泡病病毒（SVDV）HK／70株的基因组序列并测序，应用生物信息学相关软件和方法，对SVDV结构蛋白的二级结构的不同方面及其抗原特异性淋巴细胞表位进行了预测，综合评价了SVDV结构蛋白的抗原特异性细胞表位，并计算出一些潜在的抗原位点。结果表明，VP1蛋白含有的细胞优势抗原表位最多，但其他结构蛋白也含有抗原特异性淋巴细胞表位，有的甚至有可能成为优势抗原表位或对优势抗原表位有协同作用。     

不同副梢处理对赤霞珠葡萄生长和结果的影响

试验以3～5年生赤霞珠葡萄(CabernetSauvignon)为试材,对其进行了不同的副梢处理:只留顶端1个副梢、副梢绝后处理、花序以上反复摘心、副梢全留。2年的结果表明:副梢全留(所有副梢全留2～3片叶反复摘心)处理的叶面积指数高,果实的产量和品质高。因此,相对多留副梢叶片,改善了叶幕叶龄结构,提高了果实品质,有利于枝梢成熟。     

堆垛车核心零件的参数化设计与有限元分析系统

为了提高堆垛车的设计效率,减少企业对设计研发新产品的投入及推进我国堆垛车的设计创新。以堆垛车核心零件为例,利用NX11.0为平台,VS2012为开发工具,结合NX二次开发技术开发了集参数化建模以及参数化有限元分析系统,实现了堆垛车零件的自动创建及自动分析。该系统大大提高了产品的设计效率和质量,为新产品的研发做好充分准备。     

一类具有饱和发生率的虫媒传染病模型研究

考虑虫媒传染病具有潜伏期的特征,研究了一类具有饱和发生率的时滞传染病模型的动力学行为,确定了疾病是否流行的阈值R_0.当R_01时,无病平衡点全局渐近稳定,疾病将最终灭绝;当R_01时,唯一地方病平衡点条件稳定,系统会产生Hopf分支.

大花黄牡丹枝条二次发育特点的观察

在西藏林芝地区和河南芍药科迁地保护中心观察了中国特有植物大花黄牡丹(Peaonia ludlowii)的枝条发育。结果表明:大花黄牡丹春季花枝在花期前后第2次萌发枝条,二次枝秋季并不"枯枝退梢",这是区别牡丹组其他种和栽培品种的特征之一。二次枝顶芽分化成具花、叶原基和腋芽原基的复合芽,从分化起始到开花结实历经3个年周期,约17~20个月。二次枝的生长、顶芽分化与种实发育同步并可增加群落冠层高度。非采挖性砍伐有利于枝条更新。     

高压电场干燥和热风干燥对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响

以自然风干为对照组,采用SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳和圆二色光谱法研究了高压电场干燥(HVEF)和热风干燥对马铃薯蛋白质分子量的影响以及两种干燥方法对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响。SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳结果显示:两种干燥方法对马铃薯蛋白质分子量基本不产生影响。圆二色光谱检测结果表明:经高压电场干燥后,马铃薯蛋白质的α-螺旋所占比例下降1.30%,β-折叠所占比例上升1.60%,β-转角所占比例上升0.30%,无规卷曲所占比例上升1.20%;经热风干燥后,马铃薯蛋白质的α-螺旋所占比例上升了12.50%,β-折叠所占比例下降了10.70%,β-转角所占比例上升了4.30%,无规卷曲所占比例下降4.40%。通过比较:HVEF对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构中α-螺旋、β-折叠、无规卷曲的作用趋势与热风干燥正好相反;如,热风干燥使α-螺旋的比例显著上升,而HVEF则使α-螺旋的比例下降,并且HVEF对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响比热风干燥对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响较小。
