牛头天社蛾初步观察

根据六六六泥团塞根有治螟效果的报导[黄山等,1956],为改进施药方法,我所于1957年进行土壤施药的盆栽药效測定,效果良好;1958年,田間防治試驗因处理时間太早(4月28日施药),效果不显;1960及1961年又进行田間試驗,因当年螟害輕微,防治效果也不够显著。据文献报导,六六六土壤施药,每亩用丙体六六六180克(折合数),对第一代二化螟防治效果良好,残效期达20—30天,并指出药剂系通过稻根内吸和沿叶鞘間上升的作用,杀死蛀入的蚁螟。昆明地区一般早栽田,栽秧后15—25天,正是螟卵盛孵期。1963年在昆明市郊区早栽田内,进行六六六土壤施药試驗,观察防治第一代三化螟的效果。試驗方法     

小麦对条锈病的水平抗病性研究初报

将小麦品种采用随机区组的田间设计种于小种病圃中,以鉴定和测定其水平抗性。根据各个“品种——小种”组合的相对病情指数的方差分析的结果,有些品种,如农大311、西农6028和丰产3号,其品种——小种互作高度显著,被鉴定为具有垂直抗性,另外一些品种,对试验所用的小种并无专化性,并且在大田生产中已显出20多年的持久的中度抗性,初步推测为属水平抗性。在后一类中,有些品种,如平原50,表现为中等反应型,其余则属于呈典型感病的迟锈慢锈类型。在迟锈慢锈品种的病指的对数矫正值(logits)和病圃的锈病强度(以感病对照品种的病指表之)的对数矫正值之间发现了直线回归。     

Decay of female sexual behavior under parthenogenesis

A laboratory strain of Drosophila mercatorum has existed for 20 years without males and therefore without natural selection operating to maintain the genetic basis of female mating behavior. The females of this strain have recently experienced a genetic impairment of mating capacity. This observation exemplifies the mode of evolution of vestigial characters and supports Muller's theory that random mutation will tend to destroy the genetic basis of a character from which selection has been removed.     

瓜类作物细菌性果实腐斑病(BFB)防治研究概述

瓜类细菌性果实腐斑病(BFB)是近年来威胁全球瓜类作物的严重病害。它主要通过种子带菌传播,寄主以西瓜、甜瓜为主,近年有向其他瓜类(南瓜)和蔬菜(番茄)等蔓延的趋势。其防治应分阶段,在种子田、育苗床和生产瓜田按要求进行,只有这样才能达到综合防治的效果。     

Comparison of morphology, viability, and function between blood and milk neutrophils from peak lactating goats

The morphological features of blood and milk neutrophils from peak lactating goats were compared using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry in order to investigate the cytological changes of neutrophils after migration into the mammary gland. The kinetics of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) generation and gelatinase release of blood and milk neutrophils, with or without stimulation of phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate ester (PMA), were used to characterize their responses to inflammatory stimuli. Neutrophils isolated from goat milk were highly segmented and contained multi-lobed nuclei. Ultrastructurally, milk neutrophils were more ruffled on the surface compared to blood neutrophils. Approximately 30% of milk neutrophils were undergoing cell death, either necrosis or apoptosis, in contrast to 8% of blood neutrophils. The ROI production of activated milk neutrophils peaked earlier than blood neutrophils, but the duration and the intensity were much less. Neutrophils from both sources augmented the release of gelatinase in response to PMA (1 ng/mL). However, the amount of gelatinase released from milk neutrophils was lower (P < 0.05) than that of blood neutrophils. In summary, more neutrophils become apoptotic and necrotic in the mammary gland, presumably due to spontaneous aging, the process of diapedesis, and the interaction with milk components. Milk neutrophils have impaired functionalities in comparison with blood neutrophils. The information is relevant when studying mammary gland immunity and related diseases, such as mastitis.     

菌根与植被恢复

菌根不仅可促进植物的营养吸收、生长发育、抗病、抗逆,而且在保持良好的土壤结构、控制水土流失方面具有直接的作用。在我国西北许多地区,菌根菌与植物间的共生关系已被中断,要恢复该地区的植被,治本的方法应是重建植物与菌根菌的共生关系,形成健康的生态系统。文中还提出了菌根技术在植被恢复中的应用策略。     

Effects of matrix metalloproteinases on ventricular remodelingfollowing myocardial ischemia in the rat

AIM:To examine the relationship between the activity of matrix metallproteinases(MMPs) and ventricular remodeling following myocardial ischemia in the rat.METHODS:The model of myocardial ischemia(MI) in the rat was established by isoprenaline(ISP). The activity of MMPs was measured by zymography and collagen concentration was assessed by the method of chloramine T, so did I/III collagen ratio by immunohistochemical staining. The microstructure of myocardium was also observed by electron microscope.RESULTS:The activity of MMP-2 in myocardial ischemia group (group M) increased by 5.8 folds at 1 st week(P＜0.01), 2.3 folds at 2 nd week(P＜0.01) and 1.7 flods at 4 th week(P＜0.05) compared with control group (group C) and MMP-9's activity in group M increased by 4.9 folds (P＜0.01), 1.9 flods(P＜0.01) and 1.4 folds(P＜0.05), respectively. Collagen amount and I/III collagen ratio in group M increased compared with that in group C at 2 nd week and 4 th week. It showed that cardiac myocytes in group M were necrosed and collagen grew abundantly in interstitium under electron microscope.CONCLUSION:The activity of MMPs in the myocardial interstitium increased following myocardial ischemia, then collagen amount and I/III collagen ratio increased, which may be the major causes of ventricular remodeling.     

Therapeutic effects of recombinant human growth hormone on rat sepsis

AIM:To investigate therapeutic effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) on rat sepsis and its possible mechanisms.METHODS:Mean arterial pressure (MAP), levels of plasma TNFα, IL-1β and endotoxin, leukocyte count and survival rate within 1 week were determined after E. coli injection among control group, sepsis group and sepsis+rhGH group.RESULTS:(1)rhGH diminished the decrease of MAP, reduced plasma endotoxin and TNFα levels and increased neutrophil ratio in total leukocytes in sepsis rat. rhGH increased survival rate within 1 week on sepsis rat. (2)No changes were found in IL-1β level among the three groups.CONCLUSION:rhGH showed desirable beneficial effects on rat sepsis, which may attribute to: improving circulatory function;maintaining intestinal mucosa barrier, attenuating bacteria/endotoxin translocation and inhibiting the production and release of TNFα.
