泡桐接干类型划分及干形相关性状的分析

在11年生泡桐杂交种试验林中选择有代表性的单株150棵,研究了23个与干形相关的性状。结果表明：泡桐接干类型分为难接干、徒长枝接干、连续接干3种;23个性状中有19个性状在不同接干类型间差异极显著;干形性状的前3个主导因子分别为接干材积、主干材积和主干尖削度,连续接干是泡桐干形选择的方向。     

Identification of the cystic fibrosis gene: chromosome walking and jumping

An understanding of the basic defect in the inherited disorder cystic fibrosis requires cloning of the cystic fibrosis gene and definition of its protein product. In the absence of direct functional information, chromosomal map position is a guide for locating the gene. Chromosome walking and jumping and complementary DNA hybridization were used to isolate DNA sequences, encompassing more than 500,000 base pairs, from the cystic fibrosis region on the long arm of human chromosome 7. Several transcribed sequences and conserved segments were identified in this cloned region. One of these corresponds to the cystic fibrosis gene and spans approximately 250,000 base pairs of genomic DNA.

Encounter with venus

This report is an introduction to the accompanying collection of initial results from the successful Pioneer Venus orbiter and mutiprobe missions that encountered Venus on 4 December and 9 December 1978, respectively. The mission features are briefly described and furnish data accumulated over the first 30 days of the mission.     

The dynamics of the stratospheric polar vortex and its relation to springtime ozone depletions

Dramatic springtime depletions of ozone in polar regions require that polar stratospheric air has a high degree of dynamical isolation and extremely cold temperatures necessary for the formation of polar stratospheric clouds. Both of these conditions are produced within the stratospheric winter polar vortex. Recent aircraft missions have provided new information about the structure of polar vortices during winter and their relation to polar ozone depletions. The aircraft data show that gradients of potential vorticity and the concentration of conservative trace species are large at the transition from mid-latitude to polar air. The presence of such sharp gradients at the boundary of polar air implies that the inward mixing of heat and constituents is strongly inhibited and that the perturbed polar stratospheric chemistry associated with the ozone hole is isolated from the rest of the stratosphere until the vortex breaks up in late spring. The overall size of the polar vortex thus limits the maximum areal coverage of the annual polar ozone depletions. Because it appears that this limit has not been reached for the Antarctic depletions, the possibility of future increases in the size of the Antarctic ozone hole is left open. In the Northern Hemisphere, the smaller vortex and the more restricted region of cold temperatures suggest that this region has a smaller theoretical maximum for column ozone depletion, about 40 percent of the currently observed change in the Antarctic ozone column in spring.     

Has America's tide of violence receded for good?

Experts in the young field of violence epidemiology blame guns and crack cocaine for America's deadly crime surge in the early 1990s. Explaining the subsequent decline in violent crime rates has been more difficult, however. Some of the factors that seem to have helped squelch crime could be temporary, such as low unemployment rates. But others, including a growing intolerance for violence as a means of settling interpersonal disputes, seem to have become cultural norms.     

甘蔗蜡提取物多廿烷醇的降血脂机制研究

采用RT-PCR、Western Blot、L-[35S]放射性标记物掺入等方法,观察甘蔗蜡提取物多廿烷醇对Hep G2细胞羟甲基戊二酸辅酶A (HMG-CoA)还原酶mRNA转录及蛋白质表达量的影响,及其对HMG-CoA 还原酶合成和降解的作用.结果表明,多廿烷醇降低HMG-CoA还原酶mRNA的转录和蛋白质的表达量,且作用效果随多廿烷醇浓度的升高而增强.此外,多廿烷醇抑制HMG-CoA还原酶的合成并加速其降解,多廿烷醇处理后HMG-CoA还原酶的半衰期明显缩短.
