铁皮石斛miR168分子进化特征及响应蓝激光表达分析

笔者在关于铁皮石斛miRNA组学研究中发现较多响应蓝激光的miRNA,挑选关键且差异表达的miR168进行分子进化特征及其响应蓝激光表达分析。经对前体和成熟体分类统计、进化树构建、靶基因预测、启动子顺示作用元件及响应不同光质表达等进行分析,结果显示：miR168家族成员分布在40个植物物种中,前体和成熟体成员较少,其在植物中可能进化得不够完整;物种特异性是影响miR168前体进化特性的重要因素,而序列保守性是影响成熟体进化特性的主要因素;由3p臂上形成的miR168成熟体序列有较高特异性、5p臂形成的成熟体的序列保守性较高;Mfold和Rfam预测表明铁皮石斛miR168茎序列的保守性高于环序列,前体发卡结构较多,成熟体位置位于3p臂上,既包含茎序列也包含环序列;铁皮石斛miR168a的启动子主要包括光、激素、生物和非生物胁迫响应元件,可能通过这些顺式元件在其响应蓝激光中起调控作用;铁皮石斛响应蓝激光的靶基因主要包括ABC转运蛋白B家族成员、乙酰辅酶 A 乙酰转移酶等,主要参与植物生长发育和响应外界因素。实时荧光定量PCR结果表明,铁皮石斛miR168a与其靶基因gene-MA16_Dca006149、gene-MA16_Dca020995、gene-MA16_Dca017821参与蓝激光对铁皮石斛的影响。     

半导体激光照射对犬创伤愈合的影响

用本地杂种犬１２只分为两组，在背部两侧定边长２ｃｍ的正方形皮肤全层缺损创，对照组左侧作为划体对照，每天对创面愈合情况进行观察记录。结果表明：砷化镓激光照射可促进犬全层皮肤缺损创的愈合，但差异不显著，而对激光照射７天内的愈合速度有显著的促进作用。

Volatile organic compounds from wood and their influences on museum artifact materials II: Inference of causal substances of deterioration based on intercomparison of laser Raman spectra of deteriorated products

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from wood and their effects on artifacts are of intense interest to museum staff who must strictly manage the preservation environment. In this study, the causal substances of deterioration were inferred by comparison with laser Raman (LR) spectra of deterioration products. The artifact samples were deteriorated using VOCs from woods (WV test), and using specific substances that occur in wood VOCs (SV test). The deteriorated samples were analyzed by LR spectroscopy and the results of the WV and SV tests were compared. Hinokitiol and acetic acid were found to be two of the main causal substances of deterioration in western red cedar. Deterioration of iron and copper by spruce did not appear to be caused by acetic acid, as is generally assumed, but by some other unknown compound(s). Sensitivity to wood-based VOC components depended on the type of artifact. In western red cedar, mitsudasou (litharge) was very sensitive to acetic acid, while other artifacts were sensitive to hinokitiol. The LR method used in this study is very useful for the inference of causal substances of deterioration based on the detection of small amounts of deteriorated products such as those generated by deterioration due to wood VOCs.

Evaluation of surface smoothness by laser displacement sensor 1: effect of wood species

The best methods for determining surface roughness in an industrial environment are of the noncontact variety, with reproduction of the profile. The objective of this work was to compare the roughness profile obtained by a contact stylus with a commercial laser displacement sensor (LDS). Measurements were done using 15 wood species with different densities and colors, based on which special triangle profiles were prepared. The accuracy of the laser sensor was examined by statistical analysis of roughness parameters measured from the profiles. Experimental results show that LDS profiles were imitated correctly. However, LDS accuracy depends on the scanned wood properties (density and color), installation position of the sensor, and profile shape. It was found that evaluation of dark and high-density wooden surfaces was imperfect.Part of this work was presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Kyoto, April 2000; and at the 51st Annual Meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Tokyo, April 2001     

Differential expression of cell cycle regulators p21, p27 and p53 in metastasizing canine mammary adenocarcinomas versus normal mammary glands

The cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27 are important regulators of cell cycle progression. To analyze their role in the malignant progression of canine mammary tumors expression levels of p27 and p21 and its major regulator p53 were compared in simple adenomas, adenocarcinomas of the mammary gland and lymph node metastases with normal mammary gland. Laser microdissection of tissue samples and real-time PCR were used for quantification of mRNA expression levels. p21 was overexpressed in adenocarcinomas, whereas adenomas and metastases expressed p21 more heterogeneously. Comparison of p21 expression in adenocarcinomas and their metastases revealed a significant decrease in expression in metastases. In contrast, p27 expression was reduced in the adenocarcinomas but heterogeneously expressed in adenomas and metastases. Taken together the results suggest that loss of p21 overexpression is associated with tumor metastasis while reduced cell cycle inhibition by p27 is associated with malignant progression.
