现代性退避与回归理想的无奈

作家杨小凡在批判现实人性弱点基础上,以知识分子的传统目光观照当下社会个体的生存境遇,在悲悯与体恤之中,传承的是儒家兼济天下的思想,并上升到对家国命运的关注和对现代性的反思与忧虑。在对生命个体的关怀与对复杂现实拷问的结合中,在对现实的批评和对理想的畅想中,流露的是知识分子对现实以及现代性的困惑和无奈,在理想与现实之间,杨小凡选择了对现代性的逃避,但是这种逃避,设定的是难以实现的乌托邦式的理想。     

Screening for periodontal disease in research dogs - a methodology study

Background

It has been shown that the prevalence of both clinical attachment loss (CAL) ≥1 mm and pocket probing depth (PPD) ≥4 mm is relatively high even in younger dogs, but also that only a minority of the dogs have such clinical signs of periodontal disease (PD) in more than a few teeth. Hence, a minority of dogs carry the major PD burden. These epidemiological features suggest that screening for PD in larger groups of dogs, allowing for rapid assessment of treatment planning, or for the selection of dogs with or without PD prior to be included in experimental trials, should be possible. CAL is the central variable in assessing PD extent and severity while PPD is the central variable used in treatment planning which make these two variables obvious in a screening protocol with the dual aim of disease identification and treatment planning. The main purpose of the present study in 98 laboratory Beagle dogs was to construct a fast, simple and accurate screening tool, which is highly sensitive for the identification of dogs with PD.

Results

Examination of the maxillary P4, P3, P2, I1 and C would, in this population, result in the identification of 85.5% of all dogs and 96% of all teeth positive for CAL ≥1 mm, and 58.9% of all dogs and 82.1% of all teeth positive for PD ≥4 mm.Examination of tooth pairs, all C’s, maxillary I2, M2 and the mandibular P4 would, in this population result in identification of 92.9% of all dogs and 97.3% of all teeth positive for PD ≥4 mm, and 65.5% of all dogs and 83.2% of all teeth positive for CAL ≥1 mm. The results presented here only pertain to the present study population.

Conclusions

This screening protocol is suitable for examination of larger groups of laboratory Beagle dogs for PD and our findings indicate that diseased dogs are identified with a high degree of sensitivity. Before this screening can be used in clinical practice, it has to be validated in breeds other than Beagle dogs and in populations with larger age variation.     

A method for the attachment of miniature radio tags to small fish

Abstract An attachment technique which gives good tag retention, minimal damage to fish and prevents entanglement with weed is described. Fish carrying transmitters were monitored in semi-natural conditions and appeared to exhibit the same behaviour as untagged fish. Median condition factors of dummy-tagged fish did not differ from those of untagged fish over a 10-week period. Examples of movement patterns obtained using radio tags attached to dace, Leuciscus leuciscus (L.) are given.     

几种蚜虫对MDMV传毒效率及其口针中病毒附着位点(VAS)的免疫荧光标记

 本研究在测定了5种蚜虫对玉米矮花叶病毒(MDMV)传播效率的基础上,采用免疫荧光(FITC)标记方法,观察到蚜虫口针中MDMV附着位点(VAS)的存在。结果发现不同蚜虫之间的传毒效率及VAS有一定的差异。其中,以麦二叉蚜(Schizaphis graminum)的传毒效率最高,达66.8%。并且其VAS也最明显,位于口针末端约50μm处。通过试验发现,尽管在VAS存在的情况下,用提纯的不含HC的MDMV进行蚜虫传毒试验,其传毒率为零。只有当HC与MDMV共同存在的情况下才可有效传播。至于蚜虫是如何释放病毒的还不清楚。根据试验结果初步认为,蚜虫对MDMV的传播是一个"识别-吸附-释放"的过程。     

Attachment and growth of vegetative propagules of Chondria crassicaulis Harvey (Ceramiales,Rhodophyta) under various culture conditions

The red alga Chondria crassicaulis has a wide‐ranging bioactive chemical composition and is used as a local foodstuff, representing a potentially new cultivar in Korea. The cultivation techniques were developed by examining the monthly changes in frond weight in a field population of C. crassicaulis from November 2016 to October 2017. For seedling production, temperature and irradiance effects on the attachment and growth of vegetative propagules of C. crassicaulis were evaluated. In addition, effects of day length and salinity on the propagule growth were examined. C. crassicaulis is a year‐round species with a maximum frond wet weight of 817 mg observed in July 2017, as seawater temperature increases to 20°C. The attachment of vegetative propagules was significantly affected by temperature and irradiance, with maximal values detected at 20–25°C and 60 µmol photons m^?2 s^?1. The relative growth rates of vegetative propagules of C. crassicaulis were the highest at 20–25°C, 60 µmol photons m^?2 s^?1, and a salinity of 25 psu. In conclusion, due to its tremendous tolerance under variable environmental conditions, the vegetative propagules of C. crassicaulis can be used as seedlings for mass cultivation.

一段烟草核基质结合区的分离及对转基因表达的效果

 采用PCR方法，从烟草基因组中分离了一段核基质结合区（matrix attachment region，MAR），将其构建到β-葡糖醛酸酶（β-glucuronidase，GUS）基因（uidA）的两侧翼，形成MARs调控的植物表达载体，将此表达载体与不含MARs序列的植物表达载体通过农杆菌转化烟草。对转基因植株进行GUS活性定量测定，结果表明，MAR可以提高外源uidA基因的表达水平，与不含MAR的转化植株相比，外源基因的平均表达水平提高了1.5倍，最高达6倍，但MAR的引入不能降低转基因植株个体间表达水平的差异。     

Training methodologies differ with the attachment of humans to horses

Our investigation is the first to use attachment theory to explore four commonplace training methods (Conspecific, Behavioral, Eclectic, and Conventional) and owners' levels of attachment (anxiety and avoidance) to their horses. An international sample of horse riders and handlers (N = 538), aged 18-80 years, completed demographics and the Experiences in Close Relationships—Relationship Structures Questionnaire. Behavioral training participants scored significantly higher on the attachment-avoidance scores to their horses than the Eclectic or Conspecific training methods. The Behavioral and Eclectic training methods were associated with higher levels of education. Further research is warranted to elucidate the role that training methods play in the relationships between humans and horses.     

罗氏沼虾胚胎附着机制的初步研究

甲壳动物十足目的大多数种类,其受精卵自产出后就附着于亲体腹部,并完成胚胎发育过程直至孵化,这对于胚胎的发育、保护和幼体散布有重要的生物学意义。胚胎的附着机制较为复杂,与刚毛、卵柄、卵索、卵膜和黏液腺有关:卵柄和卵索的形成决定了胚胎发育的顺利进行;卵膜的变化影响着胚胎的附着;黏液腺在胚胎附着过程中形成卵柄和外层卵膜,胚胎是依靠卵柄或卵索附着于腹肢的刚毛上,进而完成胚胎发育过程。本研究采用常规组织学和扫描电镜的方法研究了罗氏沼虾(Macrobrachium rosenbergii)胚胎及其附着结构。结果表明,胚胎附着与母体腹肢的结构、黏液腺分泌的黏液相关,也与胚胎表面结构、次级卵膜的形态和结构密切相关。原肢底节和内肢刚毛密而长,基部有细小的分支,有利于胚胎的附着,外肢刚毛羽状则有利于胚胎的托附和保护。抱卵雌虾腹肢的原肢和内肢上布满腹肢黏液腺分泌的黏液;携卵刚毛中空、壁厚,刚毛外壁由微绒毛状结构组成,扩大了携卵刚毛的表面积,以利胚胎附着。胚胎外表面由初级卵膜和次级卵膜组成,次级卵膜主要由卵巢黏液腺分泌的黏液参与形成。排卵时,受精卵依靠坚韧的次级卵膜相互粘连,同时,部分受精卵在刚毛上滑动、旋转,并借助次级卵膜逐渐形成了卵柄或卵索固着在腹肢刚毛上。从受精卵到胚胎孵化,胚胎之间最主要的连接方式是依靠次级卵膜的连接。胚胎的表面有许多褶皱和黏液,利于胚胎的附着以及胚胎对溶氧和小分子物质等的通透。以上结构与附着相适应,保证了胚胎发育的顺利进行和幼体的正常孵化。本研究旨为进一步认识甲壳动物胚胎附着机制、胚胎发育和人工育苗的研究提供参考。[中国水产科学,2007,14(1):67-73]
