Chronic cigarette smoking induces alteration of FIZZ1/RELMα expression in rat lung

AIM: To investigate the expression of FIZZ1/RELMα in lung tissue of chronic cigarette smoking rat, and to determine the relationship between airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. METHODS: Made rat model of chronic cigarette smoking was used. The expression of FIZZ1/RELMα in lung tissue was determined by immuno-histochemistry and in situ hybridization. RESULTS: In control rats, FIZZ1/RELMα protein and mRNA expressions were observed at low levels. In cigarette smoking rats, FIZZ1/RELMα expression increased in all the cells especially in bronchial smooth muscle cells, vascular wall cells and alveolar epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: FIZZ1/RELMα is a secreted peptide specifically expressed in lung. Cigarette smoking induces its upregulation, which possibly contributes to cigarette smoking-induced airway hyperresponsiveness.     

Biological characters of mesenchymal stem cells of human umbilical cord blood

AIM：To study the isolation,expansion and purification of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord blood (UCB),and investigate some biological identities of MSCs.METHODS：(1) MSCs of UCB,adult bone marrow (BM) and fetus BM were isolated by centrifugation with Ficoll,and the different kinds of MSCs were observed everyday.(2) Surface markers of MSCs were identified by flow cytometry.(3) The level of HGFs (TPO,SCF,FLT-3L,IL-6) secreted by different sources of MSCs was checked by ELISA method.RESULTS：(1) No difference in morphology of the colonies between UCB MSCs and BM MSCs was observed.However,the mononuclear cells needed in culture of UCB MSCs was about 3 times more than that in culture of BM MSCs.The times of UCB MSCs colony formation and confluencing were longer than that of BM in primary culture.(2) After passaged,there was no significant difference in the proliferation rates of 3 kinds of MSCs.Only 4 of 15 UCB samples contained a homogeneous population of MSCs.(3) UCB MSCs shared the same markers with BM MSCs.Neither hematopoietic marker nor immunologic recognition antigens were expressed.(4) The level of hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs) secreted by 3 kinds of MSCs was similar.CONCLUSIONS：(1) MSCs were isolated from UCB,but the amount of MSCs in UCB was smaller than that in BM,and just seldom samples of UCB contained homogeneous MSCs.(2) MSCs from UCB and BM shared the same biological characteristics,such as proliferation ability,surface markers,immunophenotypes and HGFs secretion.     

番茄细菌性溃疡病菌的实时荧光PCR检测

 由Clavibacter michiganensis subsp.michiganensis(Cmm)引起的番茄细菌性溃疡病是一种严重危害番茄生产的种传细菌性病害。根据ITS序列多态性设计引物及TaqMan探针进行实时荧光PCR检测的结果表明,这组引物一探针能检测出所有供试的Cmm菌,对照菌均未检测到荧光信号。用接种但未显示症状的番茄苗叶片及人工处理的带菌种子提取的核酸作为模板,均能检测到病菌,其检测灵敏度比常规PCR高约100倍。实验中不需病原菌的分离培养及PCR的后续处理。该方法快速、简便、安全、准确,适用于出入境检验检疫及种子、种苗健康检测领域。     

云南、福建、湖南烟区烟草花叶病主要病毒种类检测及黄瓜花叶病毒亚组鉴定

 采用抗原直接包被和双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)对采自云南、福建、湖南烟区烟草花叶病样品进行了病毒种类检测,利用三抗体夹心ELISA对黄瓜花叶病毒(Cucumber mosaic virus,CMV)的亚组类型进行了鉴定。在云南采集的520个花叶病样品中,烟草花叶病毒(Tobacco mosaic virus,TMV)、CMV和马铃薯Y病毒(Potato virus Y,PVY)总检出率分别为71.74%、55.01%和6.35%;在福建采集的150个花叶病样品中,TMV、CMV和PVY的总检出率分别为94%、24.66%和8.00%;在湖南采集的74个花叶病样品中,TMV、CMV和PVY的总检出率分别为58.11%、51.35%和2.70%。部分样品为2种以上病毒复合侵染。云南、福建和湖南采集的64个CMV阳性样品中,属亚组Ⅰ的样品为57个,占89.1%;属亚组Ⅱ的样品为10个,占15.6%;其中3个样品为亚组Ⅰ和亚组Ⅱ的复合侵染。     

美国白蛾生物学上的几个重要特性

本文对青岛市美国白蛾Hyphandria cunez种群的几个重要生物学特性进行了调查，获得了如下有意义的结果。（1）在生态光周期范围内，该虫显示了一个典型的长日照型昆虫，临界日长为14h 30min。然而在全光条件下，有41.2％的个体滞育；在全暗条件下则有83．7％的个体发育。（2）第1代蛹在自然条件下羽化的结果表明，部分个体的蛹期显著延长，呈现了夏季滞育。（3）滞育蛹置于25℃，LD16：8下滞育能够解除，但死亡率极高。（4）雄虫前翅黑斑的出现是由光周期控制的，只有在短日照下诱导的滞育蛹，滞育解除后羽化出来的雄虫才会出现黑斑。

灰飞虱体内沃尔巴克氏体生物学特性及其利用展望

灰飞虱既是传播水稻条纹叶枯病毒的媒介昆虫,也是我国水稻上的主要害虫。Wolbachia是存在于飞虱等多种昆虫体内的一类共生菌,它们能通过多种机制调节寄主的生殖,包括诱导细胞质不亲和、孤雌生殖和遗传上的雄性雌性化等。目前对这类微生物的研究已取得了重要进展。本文综述了Wolbachia在灰飞虱体内的分布、传播方式及其对灰飞虱种群的影响,并初步探讨了利用其生物防治的可能性。
