Comment on "Nonreciprocal light propagation in a silicon photonic circuit"

We show that the structure demonstrated by Feng et al. (Reports, 5 August 2011, p. 729) cannot enable optical isolation because it possesses a symmetric scattering matrix. Moreover, one cannot construct an optical isolator by incorporating this structure into any system as long as the system is linear and time-independent and is described by materials with a scalar dielectric function.     

慢性束缚与慢性不可预期温和应激抑郁模型小鼠的行为学比较及其发生机制研究

【目的】通过比较慢性束缚应激(Chronic restraint stress,CRS)与慢性不可预期温和应激(Chronic unpredictable mild stress,CUMS)对C57BL/6小鼠行为学指标及大脑海马区相关功能的影响,探讨抑郁症的发生机制。【方法】分别建立CRS及CUMS小鼠模型,通过旷场试验、强迫游泳试验和悬尾试验测定小鼠的行为学指标;取小鼠脑组织,制备常规石蜡切片,运用苏木素-伊红(HE)与免疫组化染色考察小鼠大脑海马区组织形态及5-羟色胺1A受体(5-HT1AR)的表达情况,并运用荧光分光光度法测定小鼠海马组织单胺氧化酶活性的变化。【结果】与空白对照组相比,CRS组小鼠的水平穿格数、直立次数及体质量均显著减少,悬尾及强迫游泳试验累计不动时间百分比无明显变化(P>0.05);而CUMS组小鼠自发活动无明显改变(P>0.05),但悬尾及强迫游泳试验累计不动时间百分比极显著增加(P<0.01),体质量显著下降。脑组织形态学研究结果显示,CUMS组小鼠海马CA1、CA3区和齿状回均出现萎缩,而CRS组小鼠海马CA1区未受影响,CA3区和齿状回均发生萎缩。与对照组相比,CRS组与CUMS组小鼠大脑海马单胺氧化酶活性升高,5-HT1AR表达均减少,差异均分别达显著和极显著水平。【结论】CRS和CUMS均可不同程度地引起抑郁样症状,CRS对探索性行为的抑制较明显,CUMS则可引发典型的行为绝望状态;CRS与CUMS组小鼠的行为学差异可能与2组抑郁模型动物脑内海马区组织结构及功能变化的差异存在相关性。     

GFDL-ESM2M气候模式下京津冀地区未来潜在蒸散量时空变化

为探究未来潜在蒸散量时空变化特征,该研究以京津冀地区为例,基于美国GFDL提供的GFDL-ESM2M全球气候模式,得到京津冀地区92个格点2000-2050年的平均气温、最高气温、最低气温、太阳总辐射、平均相对湿度和近地面平均风速,应用Penman-Monteith公式计算京津冀地区未来92个格点的逐日潜在蒸散量(ET0),分析其时空分布特征及其与气象要素的相关关系。结果表明:未来年ET0总体呈增加趋势,RCP8.5情景下ET0上升速度最快,且随着时间推移增幅越来越大。夏季ET0增长速度最快,其次为春季、秋季与冬季,意味着未来ET0季节差异将愈加明显,可能出现更为严重的季节性干旱。ET0空间分布呈由西南向东北逐渐递减趋势,其中中部地区增速最快,增长趋势由中部向南北递减。不同气候情景下平均气温均呈逐年上升趋势,风速、太阳总辐射略微上升,而相对湿度下降。ET0与太阳总辐射的相关系数最大,呈由东北向西南递增趋势,其次为最高气温,呈由西北向东南递增趋势。ET0与相对湿度变化呈显著负相关,相关系数绝对值呈东北向西南递增趋势,ET0与风速相关度不明显。该研究可为农业需水预测与灌溉管理、科学应对气候变化提供基础支撑。     

‘云蔗05-51’与‘云蔗081609’苗期氮吸收利用效率的比较研究

甘蔗（Saccharum spp. hybrid）是我国食糖生产的重要原料,当前生产中普遍存在施氮量高而氮肥利用率低的问题。除了优化施肥管理,种植氮高效的甘蔗品种也是减氮增效的重要途径之一。本研究以云南蔗区推广的早熟高产高糖甘蔗品种‘云蔗05-51’和‘云蔗081609’为试验材料,设置0、0.1、0.5、1、5、10 mmol/L 6个供氮水平开展水培试验,在苗期测定植株生物量、根系形态、氮浓度与累积量、氮素吸收利用效率等指标。结果表明：（1）2个品种地上部、根系及整株生物量均随供氮水平的升高呈先升后降趋势,‘云蔗081609’根系生物量先于其地上部达到峰值,‘云蔗05-51’则相反,‘云蔗05-51’和‘云蔗081609’达到最佳生长需要的供氮量分别为0.5、1 mmol/L,相同供氮水平下‘云蔗081609’生物量高于‘云蔗05-51’;（2）随供氮水平上升,2个品种的根系总长度和平均根直径先上升后趋于稳定,根表面积持续增加,比根长先升后降,相同供氮水平下‘云蔗081609’的根系总长度、平均根直径和根表面积高于‘云蔗05-51’,比根长则低于‘云蔗05-51’;（3）2个品种植株氮浓度及累积量随供氮水平的升高总体呈先上升后稳定的趋势,相同供氮水平下‘云蔗081609’的植株氮累积量高于‘云蔗05-51’;（4）随供氮水平的增加,2个品种的单位根长吸氮量呈先升后稳定的趋势,单位根表面积吸氮量则呈先升后降并趋于平稳,氮素生理利用效率均随供氮水平升高显著降低,在0.1~10 mmol/L范围内‘云蔗081609’单位根长的吸氮量高于‘云蔗05-51’,但单位根表面积吸氮量变化趋势基本一致,品种间氮素生理利用效率无差异。综上表明,‘云蔗081609’在苗期对氮的吸收量高于‘云蔗05-51’主要得益于更好的根系生长,苗期适宜需氮量低于‘云蔗05-51’。     

池蝶蚌组织蛋白酶L1-like基因的克隆及表达特征分析

为了解淡水贝类是否存在组织蛋白酶L的亚型及其亚型的免疫相关作用,本实验利用已构建的池蝶蚌血细胞全长c DNA文库,筛选获得与之同源的EST序列,结合RACE技术进一步克隆了池蝶蚌一个新的组织蛋白酶L基因的c DNA全长,命名为Hs Cts L1-like基因(Gen Bank登录号为KF015273)。该序列全长为1280 bp,5′-非翻译区(5′UTR)为31 bp,3′-非翻译区(3′UTR)为256 bp,开放阅读框区(ORF)为993 bp,编码330个氨基酸,预测蛋白相对分子量为36.86 ku,理论等电点为6.23。序列分析结果显示,Hs Cts L1-like与其他软体动物相对应序列具有共同结构特征,包含信号肽、前肽抑制域和成熟肽三部分,在其他物种中已鉴定的Cts L签名序列标签(ERF/WNIN、GNFD、GCXGG和QCHN等)在Hs Cts L1-like中均可找到。其氨基酸序列同缢蛏Cts L1(AGL33704.1)同源性最高,达67%;与报道的三角帆蚌Cts L(ADV03094)和池蝶蚌中另一个Cts L(AEX88474)仅均为52.91%;系统进化分析表明,Hs Cts L1-like与缢蛏、长牡蛎和合浦珠母贝的Cts L1聚为一分支,推测Hs Cts L1-like属于Cts L家族中的亚型1。实时荧光定量PCR(q RT-PCR)检测显示,Hs Cts L1-like m RNA在肝脏中表达量最高,其次是卵巢和精巢。注射鳗弧菌后,血细胞和肝脏Hs Cts L1-like m RNA转录水平显著升高,暗示其是一个免疫有关的基因,参与了池蝶蚌的先天免疫应答反应。     

中草药方剂对哲罗鱼抗氧化能力的影响

哲罗鱼试验组每组60尾,每天按照表3分别投喂添加不同中草药(四种复方及5种单方)的饲料,对照组投喂基础饲料,连续投喂28 d,停食1 d后采集血液(分离血清及红细胞)及肝脏等样品,进行NO含量、NOS活性、SOD活性、MDA含量的测定.结果表明,血清中NO含量与对照组差异不显著,除当归组外NOS含量均有显著升高趋势;肝脏与血清相反,除当归组外NO含量均有上升,除黄芪高剂量组外NOS的活性均下降.血清中SOD酶活性没有明显变化,肝脏中,只有茯苓可以显著升高SOD活性,而红细胞中,黄芪、贯众和方二组可以使SOD活性有明显的升高;除方二、茯苓组,其余实验组均能明显降低血清中MDA的含量;除方五组外其他实验组均能显著降低MDA的含量.结果显示,中草药对哲罗鱼抗氧化能力的影响因药物种类、检测组织和指标而有所不同,但所选中草药均有一定程度增强机体抗氧化能力的作用.

Stability in reproductive timing and habitat usage of Chinook salmon across six years of varying environmental conditions and abundance

The spatial and temporal distribution of spawning activity by autumn‐run Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum) was examined across multiple years. The study period included two years of extreme drought conditions when water temperatures in the spawning reach of the Stanislaus River were considered sub‐optimal for spawning and egg incubation. Despite varying levels of superimposition, redd counts and densities remained stable and positively associated with river location, indicating that superimposition may be driven by habitat preference rather than the absence of suitable spawning locations. Spawning occurred slightly later during drought years (6–10 days later compared with wetter years). This delay was attributable to deferred migration instead of deferred spawning, and the majority of redds were constructed at water temperatures exceeding the optimal temperature range. As a consequence, estimates of juvenile production during 2014 and 2015 were among the lowest on record. These findings may be related in part to the high hatchery contribution to the population, above‐average temperatures during spawning and incubation, and superimposition rates. Management recommendations include adequate cold‐water storage in the upstream reservoir, refined spawning habitat restoration techniques in the light of superimposition rates and, on a broader system scale, actions that reduce the amount of stray hatchery Chinook salmon.     

Comparison of the effects of propofol or alfaxalone for anaesthesia induction and maintenance on respiration in cats

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of propofol and alfaxalone on respiration in cats.Study designRandomized, ‘blinded’, prospective clinical trial.AnimalsTwenty cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy.MethodsAfter premedication with medetomidine 0.01 mg kg⁻¹ intramuscularly and meloxicam 0.3 mg kg⁻¹ subcutaneously, the cats were assigned randomly into two groups: group A (n = 10) were administered alfaxalone 5 mg kg⁻¹ minute⁻¹ followed by 10 mg kg⁻¹ hour⁻¹ intravenously (IV) and group P (n = 10) were administered propofol 6 mg kg⁻¹ minute⁻¹ followed by 12 mg kg⁻¹hour⁻¹ IV for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia, respectively. After endotracheal intubation, the tube was connected to a non-rebreathing system delivering 100% oxygen. The anaesthetic maintenance drug rate was adjusted (± 0.5 mg kg⁻¹ hour⁻¹) every 5 minutes according to a scoring sheet based on physiologic variables and clinical signs. If apnoea > 30 seconds, end-tidal carbon dioxide (Pe′CO₂) > 7.3 kPa (55 mmHg) or arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO₂) < 90% occurred, manual ventilation was provided. Methadone was administered postoperatively. Data were analyzed using independent-samples t-tests, Fisher's exact test, linear mixed-effects models and binomial test.ResultsManual ventilation was required in two and eight of the cats in group A and P, respectively (p = 0.02). Two cats in both groups showed apnoea. Pe′CO₂ > 7.3 kPa was recorded in zero versus four and SpO₂ < 90% in zero versus six cats in groups A and P respectively. Induction and maintenance dose rates (mean ± SD) were 11.6 ± 0.3 mg kg⁻¹ and 10.7 ± 0.8 mg kg⁻¹ hour⁻¹ for alfaxalone and 11.7 ± 2.7 mg kg⁻¹ and 12.4 ± 0.5 mg kg⁻¹ hour⁻¹ for propofol.Conclusion and clinical relevanceAlfaxalone had less adverse influence on respiration than propofol in cats premedicated with medetomidine. Alfaxalone might be better than propofol for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia when artificial ventilation cannot be provided.
