Leptin对动物繁殖机能的影响及其应用前景

Leptin是由脂肪组织分泌的一种“厌食”激素。自1995年发现以来，就成为最活跃的研究领域。它可通过下丘脑或直接作用于卵巢，对动物青春期的发育、生殖器官的发育以及性激素的分泌都有重要的调节作用。本文综述了Leptin的生物学特性、作用机理及其在繁殖方面的作用，井指出了它在畜牧生产中应用前景。     

钙在橄榄树器官中的定量研究

本研究用原子吸收光谱法分析了果园土壤及橄榄树体各器官中钙量和不同组分钙的含量。结果表明：0～30cm土层中钙含量最高为0．65mg／g。橄榄器官中叶的钙含量最高为4．523mg／g，其次为根、果、结果枝。地上部器官钙含量由主干一主枝一结果枝一叶片逐渐增加。在各器官中钙主要以醋酸溶钙和盐酸溶钙的形式存在。     

箭舌豌豆不同器官对种子产量的贡献

研究了箭舌豌豆不同器官对种子产量的贡献，结果表明：箭舌豌豆种子利用花后光合产物较多，不同器管对箭舌豌豆种子产量的贡献是复叶〉茎〉托叶，叶片对种子产量的贡献与其所在位置有关，花后叶因离荚果较近，其光合产物易于向荚果运输。     

面对WTO谈成都蚕业的发展出路

面对WTO，蚕业必须深化改革，加快体制改革和技术创新，从调整结构、区域化布局，探索桑地流转机制，扩大生产规模，加强生产基础，扶持龙头企业，扶持产业化，提质上档，提升蚕业内在竞争力，应对“入世”。成都蚕业的发展必须要顺应形势和战略转变，这既是蚕业生产今后的指导思想和发展方向，又是进一步地发展和振兴成都蚕业的战略重点和工作重点。本就成都蚕业发展历程、产业化现状、制约因素、发展方向、对策措施等提出一些粗浅的认识。     

二十三个柚品种特性评价

对1965年定植的23个柚(Citrus grandis Osbeck)品种进行了20多年的性状比较。筛选出矮化类型6个,早熟和晚熟类型各3个,丰产类型6个,品质优良类型11个。发现仅有部分柚品种富含维生素C;果汁中维生素C含量与酸含量呈明显负相关。证实长寿沙田柚中的冬瓜圈和古老钱两个选系比广西沙田柚更丰产优质;垫江白柚质优,但产量低。简述了各参试品种的利用前途。     

几种造林措施对墨西哥柏、银荆保存率及生长的影响

在呈贡劣质山地对墨西哥柏、银荆树植树造林进行了不同整地方式、植塘规格、种植密度、抚育方式的试验。结果：撩壕整地和水平台地的保存率及幼树生长量优于块状整地，且在阴坡深草地段尤为显著。３种植塘规格（６０ｃｍ×６０ｃｍ×６０ｃｍ，５０ｃｍ×５０ｃｍ×５０ｃｍ，４０ｃｍ×４０ｃｍ×４０ｃｍ）对墨西哥柏的保存率和高、径生长差异不显著，对银荆差异极显著，大塘优于小塘。３种种植密度（１．５ｍ×１．５ｍ，１．５ｍ×２ｍ，２ｍ×２ｍ），对幼林期的高、径生长及冠幅大小无显著影响，在３０°以上的陡坡，台地抚育优于菱形、扇形、块状抚育，与对照比较，４种抚育方式与之差异极显著。     

Activation of renal tubular epithelial cells by monocytes/macrophages and the relative mechanisms

AIM: To observe the direct effects of peripheral blood monocytes/macrophages (MO/MAC) on renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC),and further probe into the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Conditioned medium(M-CM) of human peripheral blood MO/MAC was collected and added to HK-2,a human renal proximal tubular cell line.After incubation with M-CM for 24 hours,HK-2 cells were detected for DNA synthesis by [³H]-TdR incorporation,osteopontin (OPN) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression by Western blot,and fibronectin(FN) secretion by ELISA.Furthermore,anti-TGFβ₁ neutralizing antibody and interlukin-10(IL-10) were used separately to antagonize the effects of M-CM on HK-2 cells. RESULTS: ①DNA synthesis,α-SMA expression and FN secretion were all increased in HK-2 cells when incubated with M-CM.②When adding with anti-TGFβ₁ neutralizing antibody (5 mg/L) in the M-CM,the degree of upregulation of α-SMA and FN in HK-2 cells was much lower than that stimulated by M-CM alone.③M-CM added with IL-10 (20 μg/L) had a weaker ability to induce the increasing in α-SMA expression and FN excretion in HK-2 cells, compared with M-CM itself alone.M-CM from MO/MAC preincubated with IL-10 caused a lower upregulation of α-SMA expression in HK-2 cells than M-CM from non-preincubated MO/MAC. CONCLUSION: MO/MAC can directly induce proliferation,transdifferentiation and extracellular matrix secretion in RTEC.TGFβ₁ and proinflammatory cytokines secreted by MO/MAC might be involved in the aboveeffects.

Comparison of different conditions inducing embryonic stem cells

AIM: To evaluate the different conditions inducing mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) in vitro to differentiate into cardiomyocytes. METHODS: BRL conditioned medium was used to promote the growth of ESC and maintain them in an undifferentiated state. During the inducing process, retinoic acid (RA), DMSO, activin-A and TGF-β₁ were used as inducing reagents, and made up six kinds of differentiating medium. Then a three-step method inducing ESC cultured in hanging drops, in suspension and in plating was used to induce the differentiation of ESC. RESULTS: ESC were induced in vitro to differentiate into cardiomyocytes. Of all groups, the highest differentiating rate was observed in the group induced by activin-A (20 μg/L) and TGF-β₁ (2 μg/L). CONCLUSION: The inducing conditions including activin-A (20 μg/L) and TGF-β₁ (2 μg/L) is very valuable in inducing ESC differentiation into cardiomyocytes.
