太白山南坡蝗虫群落排序及环境因素分析

应用主分量分析(PCA)和相关分析方法,对秦岭太白山南坡蝗虫群落垂直分布样方资料进行了分析,并通过排序值与环境参数的多元回归,对各群落类型的定量解释.结果表明,大体上可将这些蝗虫群落分为低山、中山和高山3种主要类型.其中,低山蝗虫群落包括农耕带、常绿阔叶落叶林带和辽东栎杂木林带,中山蝗虫群落包括桦木林带和冷杉林带,高山蝗虫群落包括落叶松林带及高山草甸带.相关分析及回归分析显示,其蝗虫分布主要取决于热量、温度及植被状况,它们可通过环境因素参数的数学表达式定量确定.     

新城疫病毒NP蛋白MHCI类分子限制性T细胞表位研究

为了对新城疫病毒(Newcastle disease virus,NDV)的细胞毒性T细胞(cytotoxic T cell,CTL)表位进行研究,本研究通过在线分析软件预测了NDV弱毒株La Sota和强毒株Herts/33 NP蛋白的MHC I类分子限制性表位,共获得9条可能的表位多肽序列,并人工合成了这些短肽。分别构建了含有La Sota和Herts/33 NP基因的DNA重组质粒并免疫4周龄SPF级C57BL/6小鼠,首免后21 d加强免疫1次,二免后10 d无菌采集脾脏制备脾淋巴细胞悬液,采用ELISpot法测定预测多肽诱导脾淋巴细胞分泌IFN-γ的能力,根据分泌IFN-γ形成的特异性斑点数进行生物统计学分析,发现2条多肽产生的斑点数显著高于无关肽刺激组(P<0.01)。确定了针对小鼠H-2 kb的限制性T细胞抗原表位的2条多肽。这些可用于合成特异性的MHC-肽四聚体,为后续研究NDV与树突状细胞(dendritic cells,DC)及T淋巴细胞之间的免疫抑制机制提供重要保障。     

淀山湖光泽黄颡鱼的生物学初步研究

光泽黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrusnitidus)是淀山湖重要的优势种之一,也是渔民重要的捕捞对象。2011年8月至2012年7月在淀山湖采集780尾光泽黄颡鱼样本,按肉眼观察选取体态完整的238尾进行体长分布、体重分布、体长与体重的关系、性比、食性、性腺成熟度和性腺指数等方面的生物学初步研究。研究结果表明:(1)光泽黄颡鱼体长范围为4.7~16.0 cm,优势组为8.0~12.0 cm;体重范围为1.3~28.4 g,优势组为5.0~15.0 g;(2)雌、雄样本平均体长分别为10.9cm和11.4 cm,平均体重分别为15.1 g和15.9 g;(3)雌雄样本体长与体重关系为,W♀=0.041×L2.533,W♂=0.037×L2.557,呈显著差异;(4)雌性光泽黄颡鱼最小性成熟个体体长为8.6 cm,体重为6.9 g;雄性最小性成熟个体体长为9.4 cm,体重为8.9 g;(5)雌、雄性腺指数具有差异性,雌性性腺指数大于雄性,成熟个体的性腺指数大于未成熟个体,雌性性未成熟个体性腺指数随着鱼体增大而增大,而雌性性成熟个体的性腺指数却随着鱼体增大而减小;(6)胃含物以虾为主,摄食等级以2~3级为主,占57.66%。     

Intra‐operative hyperthermia in a cat with a fatal outcome

HistoryA four year old male neutered Domestic Short Hair cat presented for general anaesthesia for hind limb orthopaedic surgery. The cat had been anaesthetized four days previously with propofol and isoflurane and made an uneventful recovery.Physical Examination and ManagementOn pre-anaesthetic examination the cat had a temperature of 38.9 °C and was otherwise healthy. After a premedication of acepromazine and pethidine, anaesthesia was induced with thiopental and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen 50% and nitrous oxide 50%. Increases in heart rate, respiratory rate, end tidal carbon dioxide tension and temperature were observed, occurring sequentially, from 110 to 175 minutes after anaesthetic induction. Despite ceasing all warming measures and attempting to cool the patient, body temperature continued to rapidly rise, reaching 42.5 °C and limb rigidity was observed. Isoflurane administration was stopped and esmolol was administered. Cardiac arrest occurred. Cardio-pulmonary cerebral resuscitation was commenced and a lateral thoracotomy was performed to allow cardiac compressions and internal defibrillation. Atropine, adrenaline, glucose and dopamine were administered and cold saline was instilled into the thoracic cavity.Follow-upResuscitation was unsuccessful and the cat died.ConclusionsA presumptive diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia was made. Malignant hyperthermia should be considered, even if prior exposure to volatile inhalational anaesthesia was uneventful, and prompt and aggressive therapy instituted.     

Melting Temperature and Partial Melt Chemistry of H2O-Saturated Mantle Peridotite to 11 Gigapascals

The H2O-saturated solidus of a model mantle composition (Kilborne Hole peridotite nodule, KLB-1) was determined to be just above 1000°C from 5 to 11 gigapascals. Given reasonable H2O abundances in Earth's mantle, an H2O-rich fluid could exist only in a region defined by the wet solidus and thermal stability limits of hydrous minerals, at depths between 90 and 330 kilometers. The experimental partial melts monotonously became more mafic with increasing pressure from andesitic composition at 1 gigapascal to more mafic than the starting peridotite at 10 gigapascals. Because the chemistry of the experimental partial melts is similar to that of kimberlites, it is suggested that kimberlites may be derived by low-temperature melting of an H2O-rich mantle at depths of 150 to 300 kilometers.
