用单克隆抗体结合酶联免疫吸附试验检测棉铃虫幼虫体内的核多角体病毒

在常规ＥＬＩＳＡ间接法的基础上，应用单克隆抗体检测感染棉铃虫核型多角体病毒的棉铃虫幼虫体内病毒粒子。３龄幼虫饲喂表层涂有ＨａＮＰＶ人工饲料后９小时，即可在幼虫抽提液中检出病毒粒子抗原，而典型病虫显症需５～６天后才出现。因此本法是一种灵敏、快速、特异性强的检测昆虫杆状病毒的方法。利用单克隆抗体结合ＥＬＩＳＡ试验分别检测来自江苏和山东不同地区棉田自然死亡的棉铃虫幼虫，表明在江苏和山东不同棉区均可检测到ＨａＮＰＶ病毒粒子，但地区间棉铃虫核型多角体病毒检出频率有显著差异     

作物根际和叶围中产几丁质酶微生物的分布及其抑制真菌作用

从几十种作物的根际和叶围分离获得３５０株微生物，其中细菌和放线菌分别为２００株和１５０株。对所有这些分离物进行了抑制真菌试验和几丁质酶活性测定。在抑菌试验中，以棉花枯萎病菌、棉花黄萎病菌、黄瓜枯萎病菌，及西瓜枯萎病菌作为供试病原菌，有９６个分离物对其中的一种或一种以上的病原菌有抑制作用，其中１８个分离物对这４种病原菌都具有强烈的抑制作用。在几丁质酶活性方面，１０％的细菌和４０％的放线菌都能不同程度地产生几丁质酶。有些菌株几丁质酶活性强，抑菌作用也明显，有些菌株几丁质酶活性弱，抑菌作用弱或无作用，少数菌株几丁质酶活性强，但却无抑菌作用。用几丁质酶液处理病原菌孢子，其萌发率和芽管长度比对照显著降低

大白菜游离小孢子培养中若干因素对胚状体诱导和植株再生影响

以多种类型的大白菜品系及F1为试材,探索了若干因素对大白菜游离小孢子培养效果的影响。结果表明：不同基因型的大白菜游离小孢子的成胚能力差异极大,产胚量最高的基因型达到187个／皿,最低的为0个／皿;NLN－13液体培养基中BA的浓度为0．2mg/L（毫克／升）,有利于小孢子胚状体的发生;NLN－13液体培养基中添加少量活性碳可明显促进小孢子胚状体的形成;大白菜小孢子植株在1／2MS＋3％蔗糖＋0．8％琼脂＋0．1mg/ml（毫克／升）NAA生根培养基上生根良好,将已生根的小孢子植株移到1／2塘土＋1／2粪土的盆中便可成活与生长。

Effects of gastrin on expression of cyclooxygenase and growth factors in rat gastric mucosa

AIM: To clarify the effects of gastrin on the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX) and several growth factors in rat gastric mucosa. METHODS: Male Sprague Dawley rats were fasted for 24 hours and subcutaneously injected with saline or gastrin 17 at doses of 1 μg/kg, 10 μg/kg and 100 μg/kg, respectively. The expression of COX-1, COX-2, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the gastric mucosa were examined using Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Effects of a potent gastrin receptor antagonist YM022 on the expression of COX-1, COX-2, HB-EGF and HGF in gastric mucosa were also evaluated. RESULTS: Gastrin dose-dependently increased the expression of COX-2 and HB-EGF in rat gastric mucosa while the expression of COX-1 and HGF did not change significantly after treatment with gastrin. However, pretreatment with YM022 dose-dependently abolished the up-regulation of COX-2 and HB-EGF expression induced by gastrin. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that gastrin up-regulates COX-2 and HB-EGF expression in rat gastric mucosa, indicating that COX-2 and HB-EGF are involved in pathogenesis of the gastrin-related gastric mucosal hyperplasia and carcinoma of stomach.     

Effect of benefiting-bone Capsule on IL-6 mRNA and protein expression in rat osteoblasts in vitro

AIM: The effects of benefiting-bone Capsule (BBC) containing serum on IL-6 mRNA and protein expression in osteoblasts were studied.METHODS: (1) The neonate Sprague-dawley rat osteoblasts were cultured and divided into three groups: group Ⅰ (containing deactivating serum with BBC), group Ⅱ (containing deactivating serum without BBC) and group Ⅲ (DMEM medium group)； (2) RT-PCR was used to measure the relative IL-6 mRNA levels； (3) The radioimmunoassay method was used to examine IL-6 protein in the supernatant of the cultured osteoblasts. RESULTS: (1) The relative IL-6 mRNA levels was lower in group I than the control (P<0.05); (2) The IL-6 protein expression in osteoblasts was also lower in group I than the control (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest BBC drug-containing serum can down-regulate the expression of IL-6 mRNA and protein in osteoblasts, which may be one of the mechanisms of BBC preventing and treating osteoporosis.     

Changes of cellular immunological function after surgical operation in patients with locally advanced lung cancer

AIM: To study the change of cellular immunological function in patients with locally advanced lung cancer before and after operations. METHODS: A lung cancer group of 20 cases with locally advanced lung cancer (group A), a benign disease group of 20 cases with lung benign disease (group B) and a normal group of 20 cases from healthy volunteers (group C) were set up. The levels of the peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets (CD+3, CD+4, CD+8, CD+4/ CD+8 ratio) were detected in the group A before operation and on the 10th day and 17th day after operation by indirect immuno-fluorescence assay and contrasted with the group B and group C. RESULTS: The levels of T lymphocyte subsets in group A were abnormal before operation, CD+3, CD+4/ CD+8 ratio were significantly lower than those in group B and group C (P<0.05), and CD+8 was significantly higher (P<0.05). CD+3 significantly increased (P<0.05) and CD+8 decreased (P<0.05) on 10th day and 17th day after operation. CD+4/ CD+8 ratio significantly increased on 17th day after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the levels of T lymphocyte subsets between the 10th day and 17th day after operation. CONCLUSIONS: The patients with locally advanced lung cancer have a remarkable impairment of immunological function, which mainly show stronger immunosuppression and have some recovery after operation. In the view of immunology, the surgical resection for locally advanced lung cancer shows active significance.     

Inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis by tanshinone ⅡA in C6 cells

AIM: This study was designed to investigate the inhibition of tanshinone ⅡA on C6 glioma cell line and its mechanism. METHODS: MTT was used to measure the levels of the proliferation of C6 cultured with tanshinone ⅡA at different concentrations. The effects of tanshinone ⅡA on cell cycle of C6 were observed by FCM. The change of DNA was observed by Sepharose electrophoresis. The expression of proto-oncogenes c-myc was measured by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The proliferation of C6 was obviously inhibited by tanshinone ⅡA in a dose-dependent manner. The outcome of FCM showed that the apoptotic cell rate was 7.7%, when cultured with tanshinone ⅡA at 1.0 mg/L for 3 days. The apoptotic cell rate was 21.6%, when cultured with tanshinone ⅡA at 2.0 mg/L in 3 days. CONCLUSION: Tanshinone ⅡA inhibits the proliferation of C6 cells, induces apoptosis and inhibits the expression of proto-oncogene c-myc.
