重复注射雌二醇和黄体酮对初情前小母猪繁殖性能的影响

通过重复使用雌激素和孕激素,使小母猪提前建立发情排卵周期,并使其在配种前具备一个发育较完善的子宫,这样有利于胚胎的生长发育,从而提高初产母猪的窝仔数。为此特作本试验。1 材料和方法1.1 动物和处理20头大白(?)×(长白(?)×梅山(?))初情前小母猪随机分为3组。第1组7头在140和160日龄分别给予2次苯甲酸雌二醇(上海第九制药厂生产,批号:900101,8212,每ml内含1mg)。肌肉注射剂量15μg/kg体重。间隔11天给予4天肌肉注射黄体酮(浙江仙居制药厂生产,批号:8912115,每ml内含20 mg),剂量20 mg/天。第2组6头在160日龄时     

Role of adenine nucleotide translocator 1 in mtDNA maintenance

Autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia is a rare human disease that shows a Mendelian inheritance pattern, but is characterized by large-scale mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions. We have identified two heterozygous missense mutations in the nuclear gene encoding the heart/skeletal muscle isoform of the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT1) in five families and one sporadic patient. The familial mutation substitutes a proline for a highly conserved alanine at position 114 in the ANT1 protein. The analogous mutation in yeast caused a respiratory defect. These results indicate that ANT has a role in mtDNA maintenance and that a mitochondrial disease can be caused by a dominant mechanism.     

五种微卫星DNA标记在肉牛群体中的研究

选择了分布在牛的4条染色体上的5个微卫星DNA标记IDVGA-2,IDVGA-27,IDVGA-46,IDVGA-55及TGLA-44,分析其在所供牛群体中的多态分布情况。结果表明,每个位点的等位基因个数及多态信息含量值分别为12/0.82,5/0.58,8/0.70,6/0.57和11/0.86。全部标记经半同胞家系检验,均符合孟德尔遗传规律。

Plant growth-rate dependence of detrital carbon storage in ecosystems

Detrital carbon accumulation accounts for most of an ecosystem's capacity to store organic carbon because the carbon contained as plant detritus exceeds that stored in living plants by about threefold. A comparative analysis of the mass and turnover of detrital carbon in ecosystems demonstrates that these properties are strongly related to the turnover rate of the dominant primary producers and are poorly related to ecosystem primary production. These results contribute to an understanding of the factors that control carbon storage in ecosystems and the role of carbon storage in the global carbon budget.     

省葛藤属根瘤菌的遗传多样性研究

用AFLP、REP-PCR、23SrDNAPCR-RFLP等方法对分离自四川的23株葛藤属的根瘤菌的遗传特性进行了研究。结果表明,供试的葛藤根瘤菌遗传特性存在明显差异。AFLP分析结果显示,23个菌株分为7个AFLP遗传群;在BOXAIR-PCR分析中,23株根瘤菌则被分为5个遗传群;对23SrDNAPCR-RFLP分析表明,葛藤根瘤菌分属于中慢生根瘤菌属(Mesorhizobium)、慢生根瘤菌属(Bradyrhizobium)2个属,聚类分析结果将其划分为5个遗传群。分离自四川省的葛藤根瘤菌存在较大的遗传多样性。     

Hemoxygenase-2 is an oxygen sensor for a calcium-sensitive potassium channel

Modulation of calcium-sensitive potassium (BK) channels by oxygen is important in several mammalian tissues, and in the carotid body it is crucial to respiratory control. However, the identity of the oxygen sensor remains unknown. We demonstrate that hemoxygenase-2 (HO-2) is part of the BK channel complex and enhances channel activity in normoxia. Knockdown of HO-2 expression reduced channel activity, and carbon monoxide, a product of HO-2 activity, rescued this loss of function. Inhibition of BK channels by hypoxia was dependent on HO-2 expression and was augmented by HO-2 stimulation. Furthermore, carotid body cells demonstrated HO-2-dependent hypoxic BK channel inhibition, which indicates that HO-2 is an oxygen sensor that controls channel activity during oxygen deprivation.     

Atmospheric new particle formation enhanced by organic acids

Atmospheric aerosols often contain a substantial fraction of organic matter, but the role of organic compounds in new nanometer-sized particle formation is highly uncertain. Laboratory experiments show that nucleation of sulfuric acid is considerably enhanced in the presence of aromatic acids. Theoretical calculations identify the formation of an unusually stable aromatic acid-sulfuric acid complex, which likely leads to a reduced nucleation barrier. The results imply that the interaction between organic and sulfuric acids promotes efficient formation of organic and sulfate aerosols in the polluted atmosphere because of emissions from burning of fossil fuels, which strongly affect human health and global climate.     

Timing, duration, and transitions of the last interglacial Asian monsoon

Thorium-230 ages and oxygen isotope ratios of stalagmites from Dongge Cave, China, characterize the Asian Monsoon and low-latitude precipitation over the past 160,000 years. Numerous abrupt changes in 18O/16O values result from changes in tropical and subtropical precipitation driven by insolation and millennial-scale circulation shifts. The Last Interglacial Monsoon lasted 9.7 +/- 1.1 thousand years, beginning with an abrupt (less than 200 years) drop in 18O/16O values 129.3 +/- 0.9 thousand years ago and ending with an abrupt (less than 300 years) rise in 18O/16O values 119.6 +/- 0.6 thousand years ago. The start coincides with insolation rise and measures of full interglacial conditions, indicating that insolation triggered the final rise to full interglacial conditions.
