Association of polymorphism of Fc receptor γ chain gene at position-29 in promoter with the susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus in southern Chinese

AIM:To detect the association between the polymorphism of Fc receptor γ chain gene at position-29 in promoter and systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).METHODS:The genotypes at position -29 in promoter of Fc receptor γ chain gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method in 180 patients with SLE and 140 ethnically matched controls in southern China.RESULTS:The frequencies of TT genotype(33.3%) and T allele (54.4%) at position -29 in patients with SLE were significantly higher than those in controls (17.2% and 42.9%, respectively), whereas, the frequencies of GG genotype (24.4%) and G allele (45.6%) in patients with SLE were remarkably lower than those in controls (31.4% and 57.1%, respectively) (P＜0.05). The TT genotype and T allele at position -29 were not associated with lupus nephritis in SLE patients (P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:Our results indicate that the T allele at position -29 in promoter of Fc receptor gene probably contributes to the susceptibility to SLE, but does not play a role in the occurrence of lupus nephritis.     

塔里木河流域生态环境恶化的水文效应

塔里木河是我国最大的内陆河。 4条源流出山口多年平均天然径流量 2 2 4 .9× 10 8m3 (195 7～ 2 0 0 1年 )。在全球变暖的大背景下 ,塔里木河流域山区气候出现变暖增湿的趋势 ,2 0世纪 90年代径流量达 2 4 1.9× 10 8m3 ,增幅 7.6 %。由于源流区人类开发利用水资源的影响 ,使得补给塔里木河干流的水量不断减少 ,水文条件改变 ,造成干流上、中游段耗水严重 ,导致下游生态与环境急剧退化。自 2 0 0 0年以来 ,实施的从开都河—博斯腾湖向下游绿色走廊应急输水 ,已使下游生态环境开始恢复生机。

Phylogenetic relationships between rice dwarf phytoreovirus isolates from five countries

Rice dwarf virus isolates were collected from several locations in Japan, the Philippines, China, Nepal and Korea. Genomic dsRNA segment profiles in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis differed among the isolates. There were less differences in the profiles between isolates from Japan and Korea than in those between these two Countries and others. Nucleic acid hybridization was used to examine the extent of genomic variation. Full-length cDNAs to all genomic segments encoding non-structural proteins (S4, S6, S9, S10, S11 and S12) were synthesized from two Japanese isolates, and were used for dot-blot hybridization. Hybridizations using probes generated from the full-length cDNA clones failed to differentiate isolates from different geographical areas. However, cDNA probes covering a variable region of S12 were able to distinguish Japanese and Korean isolates from those of other countries. Phylogenetic tree analysis based on the amino acid sequence of P12 encoded by S12 grouped Japanese and Korean isolates together. The Chinese isolates from two different locations (Yunnan and Fujian) were closely related to each other, and were the most distantly related to Japanese and Korean isolates.     

真空渗入法转pinⅡ基因菜薹外源基因的遗传与表达

 本研究对利用真空渗入法获得的转bar基因及pinⅡ基因菜薹，进行了外源基因的遗传及表达情况分析。结果表明通过该方法获得的转基因植株，外源基因能够稳定遗传。bar基因在 代的分离大部分符合孟德尔遗传规律，但也有不符合的群体；pin II基因在 代中稳定表达，但各个株系之间的表达水平差异较大，因而各个株系的抗虫效果也具有显著差异，即使具有相同外源基因拷贝数的各个株系，其PIN I／蛋白表达量和抗虫效果也具有显著差异。     

检测砂梨潜隐病毒的IC-RT-PCR和TC-RT-PCR的研究

以砂梨为试材,在生物学和血清学检测的基础上,采用免疫捕作RT-PCR穴IC-RT-PCR雪和试管捕作RT-PCR穴TC-RT-PCR雪技术,对苹果褪绿叶斑病毒(Applechloroticleafspotvirus,ACLSV)和苹果茎沟病毒(Applestemgroovingvirus,ASGV)进行了检测分析。结果表明,TC/IC-RT-PCR均能有效检测梨粗提液中的ACLSV和ASGV,分别获得了大小约358bp和499bp的目标扩增片段;但IC-RT-PCR检测ACLSV的效果受到病毒分离株间血清学关系影响。与传统的RT-PCR相比,IC/TC-RT-PCR不仅灵敏度更高,而且不需提取总RNA,可以简化操作程序和减少苯酚、氯仿类有机试剂对人体的伤害和对环境的污染,适合于大量梨样品的病毒快速灵敏检测。
