The activation effect of maize pollen polysaccharides on human thoracic cavity macrophages

AIM: To study the activation effects of maize pollen polysaccharides(PPM) on human thoracic cavity macrophage (hTMΦ). METHODS: Activities of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) and acid phosphatase (ACP) in the hTMΦ were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer, and the level of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α) and interleukin-6(IL-6) in the hTMΦ was analyzed by radioimmunoassay, after hTMΦ were cultured with 0.312, 0.625, 1.250, 2.500, 5.000 mg/mL PPM-RPMI 1640 for 24 and 48 hours in vitro. RESULTS: The activities of LDH and ACP increased in the hTMΦ induced by PPM, and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the hTMΦ induced by PPM increased markedly too. And the induced expression effect of TNF-α and IL-6 is associated with the concentration of PPM, and time for PPM inducing. CONCLUSION: PPM can induce cytokines secretion in hTMΦ, and activate hTMΦ in vitro.     

Effects of oxidative stress and inflammatory response on kidney injury in mice with hyperthyroidism

AIM To explore the effects of oxidative stress and inflammatory response on kidney injury induced by hyperthyroidism in mice. METHODS Forty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group （n=20） and L-thyroxine （T4） group （n=20）. The mice in T4 group were intraperitoneally injected with T4 diluent at a dose of 1 mg/kg to induce hyperthyroidism, and those in control group were injected with normal saline of the same volume. After 7 weeks, the mice were weighed and dissected, the kidneys were removed and weighed, and the length of tibia was also measured. The activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and the content of malondialdehyde （MDA） in the kidney tissues were detected. The pathological changes of the kidney tissues were observed by HE staining. The levels of 4-hydroxynonenal （4-HNE）-modified proteins, interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 （IRAK1） and tumor necrosis factor receptor-related factor 6 （TRAF6） were determined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with control group, the body weight of the mice was decreased, while the kidney size and weight were increased significantly in T4 group. In addition, the ratios of kidney weight/body weight and kidney weight/tibia length were also increased （P<0.05）. In T4 group, the renal tubules were enlarged, and the epithelial cells of renal tubules were swollen and exfoliated, with vacuolar degeneration. Furthermore, reduced SOD activity, and increased MDA content and 4-HNE-modified proteins were found in T4 group, all of which were related to oxidative stress （P<0.05）. The levels of inflammation-related proteins IRAK1 and TRAF6 were significantly increased in T4 group （P<0.05）. CONCLUSION Excessive T4 may lead to kidney hypertrophy and injury in mice, and the mechanism may be related to oxidative stress and inflammatory response.

50年黑龙江省大豆遗传改良的产量及品质变化

本研究针对黑龙江省过去50年推广的大豆品种产量及品质变化进行研究。结果表明,品种推广年代与产量之间表现显著的线性回归关系,产量呈逐年增加的趋势,平均每年提高1．27％。产量的提高与英数、英粒数、粒数及收获指数密切相关,而与百粒重关系不大。经过50年的遗传改良,大豆蛋白质和脂肪含量变化不大,且品种间变异幅度较小。R2期（盛花期）叶氮含量、单株叶氮量、比叶氮及LAI（叶面积指数）与产量及品质关系不大,但此时期干物质重与产量里负相关关系,生育前期的干物质积累对产量的贡献不大。

蚜虫翅型分化的影响因素及其发生机制

翅多型现象在昆虫中广泛存在,比如蚜虫有有翅蚜和无翅蚜,无翅蚜无翅不能飞行。翅型分化是蚜虫对不良生态环境的适应策略。有翅蚜能飞行,使其逃离不良环境并找到新的栖息地;而无翅蚜繁殖周期短、繁殖量大,有助于维持一定的种群数量。影响蚜虫翅发育的因素有遗传因素和环境因素,由环境因素决定的翅的多型现象被称为翅的非遗传多型性。本文就蚜虫翅型分化的生态学意义、影响因素,以及蚜虫翅型分化的生理和分子机制进行了综述。关于影响蚜虫翅型分化的遗传因素的研究较少,部分研究发现豌豆蚜翅型由X染色体上的一对等位基因所控制。更多的研究表明蚜虫翅型分化受环境因素影响,影响蚜虫翅型分化的环境因素有光周期、温度、种群密度、共生微生物、天敌、杀虫剂及抗生素等,事实上这些环境因素往往不是单方面存在的。保幼激素、蜕皮激素等外源激素会影响包括蚜虫在内昆虫的翅型分化,蚜虫的拥挤效应最终可能也是通过激素调控发挥作用。外源激素可以作用于出生后的低龄若虫也可作用于预产期的成虫,比如给豆蚜中龄若蚜施加保幼激素处理后,会出现超龄若虫,而不是无翅蚜。相反,反-β-法尼烯（EBF）的刺激会诱导有翅蚜后代的产生。另有研究发现,上一代豌豆蚜注射蜕皮激素可以减少有翅后代数量,而通过RNA干扰（RNA interference, RNAi）EcR受体或施加EcR抑制物也会导致后代有翅个体增加。蚜虫翅型分化分子机制的研究起始于对同一基因型蚜虫有翅、无翅成虫个体的差异表达基因或差异表达蛋白。
