Variability in the performance of juvenile Chinook salmon is explained primarily by when and where they resided in estuarine habitats

Estuarine habitats provide rearing opportunities for the juvenile life stage of anadromous fishes. Because survival is positively correlated with juvenile performance, these estuarine habitats play an important role in population abundance and productivity. To provide information for the recovery of several depressed stocks of Chinook salmon in the Columbia River Basin, we sought to identify the factors that explain variability in performance. Using otolith‐derived estimates of juvenile somatic growth rate as an index of recent performance, we observed a negative nonlinear relationship between growth rate and day of year, and a decreasing and increasing trend of growth rate over the 8 years of this study and distance from the river mouth respectively. Using a generalised linear modelling approach, we found that variability in juvenile somatic growth rate was best explained by where and when individuals were collected, their body size, contaminant loads, stock of origin, and whether a fish was hatchery produced or unmarked. Lastly, we argue that a considerable improvement to the growth rate of juveniles in estuarine habitats is physiologically possible. The results of this 8‐year study provide a baseline of the performance of juvenile Chinook salmon to evaluate habitat restoration programs and to compare against future anthropogenic conditions.     

EPS364, a Novel Deep-Sea Bacterial Exopolysaccharide,Inhibits Liver Cancer Cell Growth and Adhesion

The prognosis of liver cancer was inferior among tumors. New medicine treatments are urgently needed. In this study, a novel exopolysaccharide EPS364 was purified from Vibrio alginolyticus 364, which was isolated from a deep-sea cold seep of the South China Sea. Further research showed that EPS364 consisted of mannose, glucosamine, gluconic acid, galactosamine and arabinose with a molar ratio of 5:9:3.4:0.5:0.8. The relative molecular weight of EPS364 was 14.8 kDa. Our results further revealed that EPS364 was a β-linked and phosphorylated polysaccharide. Notably, EPS364 exhibited a significant antitumor activity, with inducing apoptosis, dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Huh7.5 liver cancer cells. Proteomic and quantitative real-time PCR analyses indicated that EPS364 inhibited cancer cell growth and adhesion via targeting the FGF19-FGFR4 signaling pathway. These findings suggest that EPS364 is a promising antitumor agent for pharmacotherapy.

狗舌草提取物诱导淋巴细胞性白血病L1210细胞分化的研究

以单猪屎豆碱（MO）、槲皮素（QU）和环磷酰胺（CY）为参照，观察了狗舌草600mL／L乙醇提取物（EX）对淋巴细胞性白血病L1210细胞体外试验的形态变化；利用流式细胞术，从DNA分子水平上检查了EX对L1210细胞各周期相的影响，探讨EX对L1210细胞的分化机理。结果发现，EX能够使L1210细胞向淋巴细胞方向发展；经EX作用24h后，L1210细胞G0＋G1期的百分比较对照组明显升高。提示EX对L1210细胞增殖的抑制作用可能是由于G1期的阻滞所致。     

黄鳝消化道的组织学与组织化学研究

用肠卷石蜡法 ,对幼鳝和成鳝的消化道全长作纵切片 ,HE染色显示消化器官组织结构 ,嗜银法显示消化道内分泌细胞。结果显示 ,黄鳝消化道为一直形管道 ,主要由食管、胃、前肠和后肠组成。消化道的组织结构与哺乳类有许多相似之处 ,基本上由 4层组成。但食管上皮为含有大量杯状细胞的复层上皮 ,除胃体部外 ,其余器官内均缺腺体。本研究还显示了各器官连接部的结构变化。上述器官内均有散在分布的消化道内分泌细胞 ,表明黄鳝消化道还是一个主要的内分泌器官     

罐顶对罐壁应力的影响

在大型油罐设计中采用线性理论的方法,分析论述了罐顶对罐壁是否产生影响这一问题。通过对拱顶油罐、浮顶油罐的罐壁边界条件、罐顶边界条件的分析计算,求出各层壁板挠度方程中的待定系数,便可得出其应力。从线性方程中,可看出影响罐壁应力的主要因素是挠度方程中的待定系数。待定系数除受储罐尺寸、液位高度的影响外,还受罐顶重量、罐顶剪力和弯矩的影响。以10万m~3浮顶油罐和拱顶油罐为例,进一步证明,液位是罐壁应力的控制因素,而罐顶重量、罐顶剪力和弯矩对罐壁应力的影响可以忽略不计。
