东北豆科山羊豆族4属植物叶形态特征及数量分类学研究

本研究采用GMA切片、扫描电镜及叶片透明法,深入研究了东北豆科山羊豆族4属25种植物叶的形态结构。选取与叶相关的23个形态性状,参考8个非叶的特征,进行了聚类分析与主成分分析。结果表明,相似系数在0.58处时,4属植物被分为3组,黄耆属与米口袋属为一组,棘豆属和甘草属各自为一组。小叶是否具腺体、叶柄横切面形状及叶柄细胞是否具单宁等特征具有较高的绝对权重值,可以作为区分刺果甘草与甘草和其他山羊豆族植物的依据。托叶质地、托叶与叶柄联合程度及小叶叶缘是否反卷等特征可作为棘豆属的识别特征。托叶形状在属下种间具一定的分类学价值。本研究为山羊豆族植物分类学及豆科植物系统学研究提供了叶形态学依据。

城市沿河不同垂直结构绿带四季温湿效应的研究

选择北京北五环清河两侧不同垂直结构类型的绿地作为研究对象,利用小尺度定量测定技术方法,分析城市河流廊道绿地不同垂直结构绿地的温湿效应,为河流廊道绿带的建设提供科学依据.结果表明:春、夏、秋3季具有降温增湿效应,其中夏季降温增湿效应最强,春、秋2季降温增湿效应差别不大;绿地的降温增湿能力与环境温度相关,3季日间降温增湿效应最强时段均在环境温度最高时段的14:00- 16:00.春、夏、秋3季不同结构绿地类型降温增湿幅度排序为乔-灌-草＞乔-草＞灌-草＞草地,而冬季绿地除草地外,其余3种绿地均具有保温降湿效应,其中乔-灌-草绿地保温降湿效应最强,乔-草和灌-草型绿地差别不大;草地在冬季表现为降温增     

两种生境下狗牙根叶表皮亚显微结构的比较

通过对生长在田园土和植被砼2种生境下的5个品种狗牙根及野生狗牙根叶表皮微形态进行扫描电镜观察,比较了在不同生境下狗牙根叶表皮上气孔形状、大小、密度和表皮毛、乳突等附属物。结果表明,供试的5个狗牙根品种及野生狗牙根对植被砼环境作出了积极的响应与适应,上下表皮乳突明显较田园土的增多,并且有些狗牙根品种叶表皮的气孔器周围乳突有规律的排列,使气孔器凹陷在其周边的细胞里面,使气体扩散阻力增大,有利于降低蒸腾,增加植物对水分的利用效率。与田园土上生长狗牙根相比,植被砼上狗牙根上、下表皮气孔密度显著增高的有喀什狗牙根、Sahara、Heaven、Hawk。就植被砼上不同狗牙根气孔特征来说,气孔密度较其他品种显著多的品种有喀什狗牙根、Sahara。在供试的5个狗牙根品种及野生狗牙根中,根据表皮毛及其他附属物的形态特征,气孔参数的特征等综合考虑,认为Sahara、Hawk、喀什狗牙根等对植被砼生境有很好的适应性。     

异质生境空心莲子草的结构基础与生态适应性

以营养器官的部分性状,对旱生和水生空心莲子草不同器官的结构和物质进行了研究,并据此对2种生境空心莲子草形态结构变化进行了比较。对比研究结果表明,二者营养器官因环境适应而发生了较大变化,其中叶宽、叶片角质层厚度、孔下室面积、气孔数量与分布表现显著差异,旱生者具有长的表皮毛,而水生的则完全没有。茎中节间长度、髓腔直径、髓射线宽度和输导组织的类型、数量及比例在不同生境的茎和不同生长型的茎中均表现出显著的变化。旱生匍匐茎和根状茎节上具宿根,含大量贮藏物质,并生有多量的不定芽,具备成为独立散布体的物质和结构基础,而水生茎则因适应吸收需要,产生大量不定根。空心莲子草花粉败育率高(约80%),可能是其较低结实率的原因之一。空心莲子草在较低的有性生殖率下如何完成远距离扩布值得进一步探讨,此点在杂草防治中可能具有一定的意义。     

那拉提草原草地群落结构及种间关联性研究

针对新疆新源县那拉提山地高草草甸退化草地恢复与合理利用问题,选取生长季节围栏+打草草地和当地自由放牧草地为研究对象,采用Dahl多样性指数、Shannon-Weaver多样性指数、Sorensen相似性指数、Pielou均匀度指数,2×2列联表Fisher精确检验、Pearson相关系数和Spearman秩相关系数来进行草地群落及种间关联性的研究。结果表明:围栏+打草草地物种多样性和均匀度指数均小于自由放牧区;2样地内物种总体关联性均表现出显著正相关;Spearman秩相关分析结果较2×2列联表Fisher精确检验和Pearson相关系数结果更为精确,Spearman秩相关分析结果显示,围栏+打草草地内显著相关种占总种数的7.69%,自由放牧样地显著相关种占总种数的8.02%;生长季节的围栏+打草和自由放牧2种不同利用方式下,形成完全不相同的生境,导致共有种关联不显著。因此,对那拉提山地草甸退化草地必须进行适度放牧利用的同时增加人为防治毒害草措施。     

Echocardiographic estimation of mean left atrial pressure in a canine model of acute mitral valve insufficiency

High mean left atrial pressure (MLAP) due to canine degenerative mitral valve disease is associated with clinically relevant morbidity and mortality. The ability to noninvasively measure MLAP would assist in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Doppler echocardiography allows measurement of early transmitral blood flow (E) and the velocity of the mitral valve annulus (Ea). The ratio of early mitral inflow velocity to early mitral annular velocity (E: Ea) correlates well with MLAP in human subjects. We sought to determine the ability of E: Ea to predict MLAP in dogs with experimentally induced mitral regurgitation. Nine anesthetized purpose-bred dogs underwent placement of a Swan-Ganz catheter into the left atrium and recording of MLAP. Simultaneous transthoracic echocardiographic and hemodynamic studies were performed after acute chordae tendineae rupture and during IV infusion with nitroprusside (2.5-5.0 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) or hydralazine (1-1.5 mg/kg). Mitral regurgitant fraction, measured by single-plane angiography and thermodilution, ranged from 17% to 81%. MLAP increased from 5.4 +/- 2.5 mm Hg to 17.4 +/- 9.4 mm Hg after creation of mitral valve regurgitation (MR; P = .018). Forty sets of echocardiographic measurements were obtained from 7 dogs, and E, as well as E: Ea, were linearly related to MLAP. The R2 value for the linear regression equation containing E: Ea as the dependent variable (0.83) was greater than that for E (0.73). The 95% confidence intervals were calculated for predicting MLAP = 20 mm Hg from E:Ea, and E:Ea >9.1 or <6.0 indicated a 95% probability that MLAP was >20 mm Hg or <20 mm Hg, respectively. Echocardiography can be used to predict MLAP in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs with experimentally induced acute mitral valve insufficiency.     

An insight into population structure and gene flow within pure‐bred cats

Investigation of genetic structure on the basis of pedigree information requires indicators adapted to the specific context of the populations studied. On the basis of pedigree‐based estimates of diversity, we analysed genetic diversity, mating practices and gene flow among eight cat populations raised in France, five of them being single breeds and three consisting of breed groups with varieties that may interbreed. When computed on the basis of coancestry rate, effective population sizes ranged from 127 to 1406, while the contribution of founders from other breeds ranged from 0.7 to 16.4%. In the five breeds, F_IS ranged between 0.96 and 1.83%, with this result being related to mating practices such as close inbreeding (on average 5% of individuals being inbred within two generations). Within the three groups of varieties studied, F_IT ranged from 1.59 to 3%, while values were estimated between 0.04 and 0.91%, which was linked to various amounts of gene exchanges between subpopulations at the parental level. The results indicate that cat breeds constitute populations submitted to low selection intensity, contrasting with relatively high individual inbreeding level caused by close inbreeding practices.     

补铬对热应激蛋鸡肾上腺组织结构的影响

试验选择处于热应激条件下的192只35周龄新罗曼褐壳蛋鸡,随机分为6组,分别饲喂添加0.10,20,30,40,50 g/t含铬量为7.410mg/kg的葡萄糖耐量因子(GTF)的玉米—豆粕型基础日粮52d。试验结束时随机抽取试验鸡36只(每组6只),取肾上腺称重并制作切片,研究有机铬对热应激蛋鸡肾上腺组织结构的影响。结果试验组肾上腺重量较对照组略有增加;热应激时蛋鸡肾上腺的肾间组织比例增大,肾间组织和嗜铬组织的细胞均有结构受损的现象;补铬使肾间组织比例减小,嗜铬细胞增多,细胞结构完好。
