p型掺杂1.3 μm InAs/GaAs量子点激光器的最大模式增益特性的研究

对p型掺杂1.3 μm InAs/GaAs量子点激光器的最大模式增益进行了实验和理论分析.实验上,测量了不同腔长激光器阈值电流密度与总损耗的对应关系,拟合出的最大模式增益为17.5 cm~(-1),与相同结构非掺杂量子点激光器的最大模式增益一致.同时理论分析表明,p型掺杂对InAs/GaAs量子点激光器的最大模式增益并无影响,并且最大模式增益的计算结果与实验值相符.具有较小高度或高宽比的量子点能达到更高的最大模式增益,而较高的最大模式增益对p型掺杂1.3 μm InAs/GaAs自组织量子点激光器在光通信系统中的应用具有重要意义.

Doubly excited 2s2p P-1,3(1) resonances in photoionization of helium

The multi-configuration Dirac Fock (MCDF) method is implemented to study doubly excited 2s2p P-1,3(1) resonances of the helium atom and the interference between photoionization and photo excitation autoionization processes. In order to reproduce the total photoionization sprectra, the excited energies from the ground 1s(2) S-1(0) state to the doubly excited 2s2p P-1,3(1) states and the relevant Auger decay rates and widths are calculated in detail. Further more, the interference profile determined by the so-called Fano parameters q and rho(2) is also reproduced. Good agreement is found between the present results and other available theoretical and experimental results. This indeed shows a promising way to investigate the Fano resonances in photoionization of atoms within the MCDF scheme, although there are some discrepancies in the present calculations of the 2s2p P-3(1) state.

LIFETIMES OF RYDBERG LEVELS IN THE PERTURBED 6SNP P-1,3(1) SERIES OF YBI

Using two methods: (1) three-step excitation and (2) single UV photon excitation in an atomic beam with direct observation of the decay of the fluorescence light, we have measured the lifetimes of the Rydberg levels of YbI belonging to the perturbed series 6snp J = 1 levels. The measured values have been interpreted by the multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT).

AiC1qDC-1, a novel gC1q-domain-containing protein from bay scallop Argopecten irradians with fungi agglutinating activity

The globular C1q-domain-containing (C1qDC) proteins are a family of versatile pattern recognition receptors via their globular C1q (gC1q) domain to bind various ligands including several PAMPs on pathogens. In this study, a new gC1q-domain-containing protein (AiC1qDC-1) gene was cloned from Argopecten irradians by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches and expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis. The full-length cDNA of AiC1qDC-1 was composed of 733 bp, encoding a signal peptide of 19 residues and a typical gC1q domain of 137 residues containing all eight invariant amino acids in human C1qDC proteins and seven aromatic residues essential for effective packing of the hydrophobic core of AiC1qDC-1. The gC1q domain of AiC1qDC-1, which possessed the typical 10-stranded beta-sandwich fold with a jelly-roll topology common to all C1q family members, showed high homology not only to those of Cl qDC proteins in mollusk but also to those of C1qDC proteins in human. The AiC1qDC-1 transcripts were mainly detected in the tissue of hepatopancreas and also marginally detectable in adductor, heart, mantle, gill and hemocytes by fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR. In the microbial challenge experiment, there was a significant up-regulation in the relative expression level of AiC1qDC-1 in hepatopancreas and hemocytes of the scallops challenged by fungi Pichia pastoris GS115, Gram-positive bacteria Micrococcus luteus and Gram-negative bacteria Listonella anguillarum. The recombinant AiC1qDC-1 (rAiC1qDC-1) protein displayed no obvious agglutination against M. luteus and L. anguillarum, but it aggregated P. pastoris remarkably. This agglutination could be inhibited by D-mannose and PGN but not by LPS, glucan or D-galactose. These results indicated that AiC1qDC-1 functioned as a pattern recognition receptor in the immune defense of scallops against pathogens and provided clues for illuminating the evolution of the complement classical pathway.

应用光阱技术测量P-selectin/PSGL-1键解离的断裂力

选择素(selectin)与配体相互作用在诸如炎症反应、肿瘤转移等生物学过程中具有重要作用;作用力影响受体-配体键解离.本文发展了基于光阱技术的新实验方法,用于考察P-选择素(P-selectin)与P-选择素糖蛋白配体-1(P-selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1, PSGL-1)相互作用的解离过程.采用黏滞力法对光阱刚度系数进行标定,并通过分子在玻璃小球表面的功能化表征,研究力作用下P-selectin/PSGL-1键的解离,得到了在较低加载率(<25 pN/s)下键解离的断裂力分布,发现键的最可几断裂力随加载率而增加.实验结果在较低加载率下补充和验证了已有的结论.

Comparative study on in vitro inhibition of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) and mouse protein phosphatases by microcystins

Microcystins isolated from toxic cyanobacteria are potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1 and PP2A). The inhibitory effects of three structural variants of microcystins (microcystin-LR, -YR, and -RR) on protein phosphatases isolated and purified from the liver and kidney of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) were investigated using the P-32 radiometric assay. The relationships between percentage inhibition of protein phosphatase activity and microcystin levels followed a typical dose-dependent sigmoid curve. These results were compared to those obtained from mouse PP2A. The degree and pattern of inhibition of both fish and mouse protein phosphatases by microcystins were similar. Protein phosphatases in crude fish tissue homogenates showed similar inhibition patterns as purified fish PP2A toward microcystins. (C) 2000 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

加载历史对低刚度下P-选择素-PSGL-1键寿命的影响

<正>选择素(Selectin)与配体相互作用在诸如炎症反应、肿瘤转移等生物学过程中具有重要作用。许多研究表明,在炎症反应的初期,白细胞在激活的内皮细胞表面发生的滚动过程是由选择素及其碳水化合物配体(如P-选择素糖蛋白配体1,PSGL-1)之间的快速反应行为所介导的。细胞间受体-配体相互作用是一种受外力调控的随机动力学过程,其作用的快慢、强弱和寿命不仅取决于受体、配体分子的结构和固有的化学动力学性质(如化学反应率、反应亲和性等),而且还受到力学-化学耦合的共同调控。到目前为止,由于受体-

3.0～2.0Ma B. P.南海南部深海沉积物孢粉记录及其对全球变化的响应

为了重建东亚季风区域2.5MaB.P.前后植被和气候变化的历史，更好地了解低纬度地区植被变化及其对全球变化的响应，本研究选择了南海南部ODP1143站深海沉积物中的孢粉样品进行研究。通过高分辨率（7ka）的孢粉样品的分析研究，建立起3.0～2.0MaB.P.时段南海深海沉积孢粉组合序列，系统建立了这一时段植被演替序列。在此基础上，重点研究了2.5MaB.P.前后气候变化在南海周边地区植被演替中的响应，为探索和揭示东亚古季风及古环境演变提供了孢粉学依据。 ODP 1143站位于南沙海区，北纬9º22´，东经113º17´，深海柱状样采于水深2772m的大陆坡。本研究以生物地层学和氧同位素年代学为依据建立了年龄框架，对1143站135～95m（3.0～2.6 Ma B. P.）深海沉积中的孢粉样品进行了分析，建立了3.0～2.0MaB.P.时段南海深海沉积孢粉组合序列。孢粉样品处理方法主要是用盐酸去掉钙质和氢氟酸浸泡溶解硅质后，再用筛子将样品在超声波发生器中震荡过滤。孢粉的鉴定和统计在光学透视显微镜下完成。研究结果表明： 1、孢粉谱的主要特征是沉积率变化显著。与3.0～2.6 Ma B. P. 相比，2.6～2.0 Ma B. P.各类型花粉及孢子沉积率均有显著提高。该结果表明2.6 Ma B. P.南海海平面有显著下降，可与北半球冰盖形成、东亚季风增强相对应。 2、2.6 Ma B. P.以来，各类型孢粉沉积率变化与深海氧同位素分期相对应，代表了多次冰期-间冰期旋回。该结果表明南海海平面曾有多次上升和下降。 3、频谱分析结果表明，3.0～2.0 Ma B. P.存在0.1 Ma（偏心率）和46.9ka（斜率）的周期。

放牧对内蒙古草原植物C:N:P化学计量特征和资源分配的影响

C、N、P是生物地球化学循环中的重要元素，其可利用性和各元素之间的平衡关系将生态系统的物质循环有机统一为一个整体。化学计量生态学为研究这几种基本元素间的平衡提供了一个有力的理论框架。许多研究表明，过度放牧会改变生态系统的结构和功能，而放牧如何影响植物的C:N:P化学计量关系的却少见报道。本研究以内蒙古锡林河流域沿水分梯度分布的草甸、草甸草原、典型草原和沙地四种植被类型中的灰脉苔草（Carex appendiculata）、贝加尔针茅(Stipa baicalensis)、羊草(Leymus chinensis)、大针茅(Stipa grandis)、小叶锦鸡儿(Caragana microphylla)、冷蒿(Artemisia frigid)、克氏针茅(S. krylovii)和榆树(Ulmus Pumila)疏林沙地8个草地群落为研究对象，对长期禁牧样地和自由放牧样地中273种植物，其中禁牧与放牧样地中的共有植物种为144个，测定了植物叶片C: N: P化学计量特征以及植株高度、丛幅面积、茎、叶和株（丛）生物量、茎叶比等功能性状，系统地研究了放牧对植物C:N:P化学计量特征和资源分配的影响。取得了如下主要研究结果和结论： 1. 放牧降低了植物叶片的C:N比，但增加了N:P比和C:P比。C:N:P 化学计量比的变化主要受叶片N和P含量变化的影响； 2. 植物C:N:P化学计量特征对放牧的响应同时受水分条件的制约。沿水分梯度分布的不同植被类型中，植物叶片C:N:P化学计量特征对放牧的响应不同。草甸群落中，植物叶片C含量显著降低，N和P含量显著增加；在草甸草原群落中，植物叶片C、P含量减少，N含量显著增加；而在典型草原群落中，植物叶片C、N和P含量均显著降低； 3. 在物种水平上，C、N、P含量对放牧的响应分为：显著增加、显著降低和没有显著变化三种类型。放牧影响下，植物叶片N含量和N:P比在显著升高的物种多于显著降低的，而叶片C含量、C:N和C:P显著降低的物种占的比例很小，表明植物对放牧适应策略与物种本身的生物学特性有着密切的关系。 4. 过度放牧使植物的植株高度、丛幅大小、株丛数、茎叶比和单株生物量均显著降低，即植物整体呈现小型化现象，进而导致群落初级生产力、茎和叶生物量下降。轻度放牧对物种的资源分配没有显著影响，单株（丛）生物量和群落茎、叶及总生物量均呈增加趋势，这与过度放牧的影响正好相反。 5. 过度放牧显著改变了物种的资源分配策略，使生物量向叶的分配比例增加，向茎的分配比例减少。资源优先向同化器官分配可能是草地植物对长期放牧干扰的一种重要适应对策。

Frog albumin is expressed in skin and characterized as a novel potent trypsin inhibitor

A novel potent trypsin inhibitor was purified and characterized from frog Bombina maxima skin. A full-length cDNA encoding the protein was obtained from a cDNA library constructed from the skin. Sequence analysis established that the protein actually comprises three conserved albumin domains. B. maxima serum albumin was subsequently purified, and its coding cDNA was further obtained by PCR-based cloning from the frog liver. Only two amino acid variations were found in the albumin sequences from the skin and the serum. However, the skin protein is distinct from the serum protein by binding of a haem b (0.95 mol/mol protein). Different from bovine serum albumin, B. maxima albumin potently inhibited trypsin. It bound tightly with trypsin in a 1: 1 molar ratio. The equilibrium dissociation constants (K-D) obtained for the skin and the serum proteins were 1.92 x 10(-9) M and 1.55 x 10(-9) M, respectively. B. maxima albumin formed a noncovalent complex with trypsin through an exposed loop formed by a disulfide bond (Cys(53)-Cys(62)), which comprises the scissile bond Arg(58)(P-1)-His(59)(P-1'). No inhibitory effects on thrombin, chymotrypsin, elastase, and subtilisin were observed under the assay conditions. Immunohistochemical study showed that B. maxima albumin is widely distributed around the membranes of epithelial layer cells and within the stratum spongiosum of dermis in the skin, suggesting that it plays important roles in skin physiological functions, such as water economy, metabolite exchange, and osmoregulation.

1,5-二氮杂戊二烯合成非对称联吡啶研究

联吡陡及其衍生物不仅用于化工和药物合成的中间体，而且具有独特的赘合作用，可被用于金属催化剂配体等方面，因此它的合成方法研究引起了人们广泛的兴趣。但是非对称联吡陡的合成日前方法仍很少。本文利用己经被成功使用于其他含氮杂环的二碳合成子-1，5-二氮杂戊二烯（vinamidiniulnsalts），合成了单取代的2，2'-，2，3'-，2，4，一二类联吡陡。在合成1，5-二氮杂戊二烯的过程中：确立了一条以四甲氧基丙烷为原料一步合成l，5一二氮杂戊二烯的简捷，经济，易工业化的合成路线，并成功进行了公斤级的放大实验；优化了1，5-二氮杂戊二烯的亲电取代反应，高收率的获得溟代，硝化的1，5-二氮杂戊二烯；优化了从取代乙酸合成p取代1，5-二氮杂戊二烯的合成方法，高收率的获得九种p芳基取代1，5-二氮杂戊二烯。本文研究了非对称联吡睫合成的一种新方法：在碱性条件下，取代的1，5-二氮杂戊二烯盐各种乙酞基吡陡亲核加成的产物，不经分离直接和氨进行［3＋2＋1〕的成环反应，可以高收率的合成出单取代的2，2气，2，3气，2，4气三类联吡陡。这一方法己经被成功的应用于芳基取代，卤素取代，硝基取代以及无取代基的1，5-二氮杂戊二烯与三种乙酞基吡陡的反应。这种成环反应的收率与1，5-二氮杂戊二烯俘位的吸电子特征相关。因此，针对不同取代基的1，5-二氮杂戊二烯在溶剂，碱的选择以及反应温度的控制等方面进行了优化。从而成功合成出近30种单取代的非对称联吡陡。一这种合成方法，原料价格低廉，实验操作简单，而且收率高，非常适合大量合成的要求。

Supramolecular architectures, photophysics, and electroluminescence of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-based iridium(III) complexes: From mu-dichloro bridged dimer to mononuclear complexes

One mu-dichloro bridged diiridium complex and three mononuclear iridium(III) complexes based on the 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as cyclometalated ligands and acetylacetonate (acac) or dithiolates O,O'-diethyldithiophosphate (Et(2)dtp) or N,N'-diethyldithiocarbamate (Et(2)dtc) as ancillary ligands have been synthesized and systematically studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The results reveal that three mononuclear complexes all adopt distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the iridium center by two chelating ligands with cis-C-C and trans-N-N dispositions, which have the same coordination mode as the diiridium dimer. The dinuclear complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system and space group C2/c, whereas three mononuclear iridium complexes are all triclinic system and space group P(1) over bar. In the stacking structure of the dimer, one-dimensional tape-like chains along the b-axis are formed by hydrogen bondings, which are strengthened by pi stacking interactions between phenyl rings of 1,3,4-oxadiazole ligands. Then these chains assemble a three-dimensional alternating peak and valley fused wave-shape structure. In each stacking structure of three mononuclear complexes, two molecules form a dimer by the C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bondings, and these dimers are connected by pi stacking interactions along the b-axis, constructing a zigzag chain.
