灰树花不同菌株液体深层培养蛋白质含量的测定

在液体培养条件下测定了发酵液中5个灰树花菌株蛋白质含量的变化。结果表明，接种后第6天发酵液中蛋白质含量最高，Gf961菌株发酵液中的蛋白质含量为0.58%，Gf962菌株发酵液中的蛋白质含量最低，为0.30%，随着培养时间的延长，发酵液中蛋白质含量逐渐下降，接种后第9天最低，随后以呈上升趋势。但上升的幅度较小。试验为确定从发酵液中提取蛋白质的最佳时期提供了一定的理论依据。     

番石榴果实发育的初步研究

以东山月拔和二十一世纪这2个品种为试材，研究了番石榴（Psidium guajava L)果实的发育动态规律。结果表明：番石榴的果实发育呈现双“S”型；果实重量和果核重量的发育呈显著的正相关；推测果实发育后期为进行果实产期调控的关键时期；建议以果实发育的直径大小以及果实转蒂下垂作为确定进行产期调控的田间依据。     

6-BA在葡萄植株体内的运转和分配

以葡萄为试材,研究了葡萄根、茎、叶、果等器官对6-苄基腺嘌呤(6-BA)的吸收及它在植株内的运转和分配。结果表明,对1年生葡萄幼苗茎部引入或叶片涂抹6-BA,1h后,在植株所有部位都有分布,其中以茎尖和根部浓度较高,表现为快速、非极性的运输特性。茎部引入5d之内,植株根内6-BA呈持续升高趋势,茎尖内6-BA虽然有波动,但是最后仍达到最大;而叶片涂抹则在涂抹后5h时,全株各部位6-BA浓度达到最大,5d后,除引入叶片外,其它部位几乎测不到6-BA。盛花后30d,果穗浸蘸和穗轴引入6-BA,2h后,果皮、果肉、种子中6-BA浓度达到高峰,以后逐渐下降,果穗浸蘸30d后,果实各部位均已测不到6-BA,穗轴引入30d后,果皮和果肉内仍能测到6-BA,但种子内已测不到。

Metallothionein inhibits homocysteine-induced proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells

AIM:To investigate the effect of metallothionein(MT) on proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) stimulated by homocysteine and its mechanism. METHODS:VSMCs proliferation was measured by [³-H]-TdR incorporation, mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)activity were determined by immunoprecipitation method, the intracellular contents of MT and malondialdehyde (MDA)were assayed by -hemoglobin saturation method and TBA reaction, respectively, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage was measured by NADH oxidation. RESULTS:Hcy(10^-6-10^-4 mmol/L) stimulated [³-H]-TdR incorporation by the VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with control, [³-H]-TdR incorporation in VSMCs treated with 0.1 mmol/L Hcy was increased by 4.2 fold (P＜0.01). Meanwhile, Hcy enhanced MAPK activity, MDA formation and LDH release (P＜0.01)in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatment of VSMCs with MT alone did not change above parameters, compared with control. However, MT (10^-6-10^-4 mol/L)attenuated significantly Hcy-stimulated proliferation of VSMCs (P＜0.01)in a concentration-dependent manner. And MT inhibited obviously Hcy-induced activation of MAPK activity, MDA formation and LDH release. Preincubation of VSMCs with 0.5 mmol/L ZnCl₂ for 6 h induced an increase cellular MT content by 5.7-fold (P＜0.01). The MT-overexpressed VSMCs resisted Hcy-stimulating action on MAPK activity, MDA formation and LDH leakage (P＜0.01). CONCLUSION:These results show that MT has an inhibitory effect on Hcy-induced VSMCs proliferation, and that MT could inhibit Hcy-stimulated MAPK activity and lipid peroxidation.     

Expression of IL-6 mRNA in endometrium with endometriosis

AIM: The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between interleukin-6 mRNA expression and endometriosis. METHODS: Using the rat model, IL-6 mRNA expression in the endometrium was examined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The expression of IL-6 mRNA in control rats did not change at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after sham operation (P>0.05), but in model rats it gradually increased at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after endometriosis (P<0.01). The expression of IL-6 mRNA in uterine endometrium with endometriosis was lower than in endometriotic tissue, but higher than in endometrium from healthy controls. CONCLUSION: The IL-6 mRNA expression may contribute to the development of endometriosis . The increase in IL-6 mRNA expression may promote the implantation and growth of endometriotic tissue.     

The genetic susceptibility of HLA-DRB1 alleles in esophageal neoplasm of Hubei Han Chinese

AIM: To probe into the genetic susceptibility of HLA-DRB1 alleles to esophageal neoplasm in Hubei Han Chinese. METHODS: HLA-DRB1 gene polymorphism in 42 patients with esophageal neoplasm and 136 normal control subjects was studied by PCR and sequence. RESULTS: Allele frequency of HLA-DRB1 *0901 allele was significantly higher in esophageal cancer patients than those in normal controls(0.2500 vs 0.1397, P =0.028; the odds ratiO².053; etiologic fraction 0.1282).There were no association between the rested HLA-DRB1 alleles with patients. CONCLUSION: Individuals carrying HLA-DRB1 *0901 may be susceptible to esophagealo carcinoma, its nucleotide sepuence approachs to the corresponded allele sequence(exoN²)published in GenBank.
