A highly active anticomplement factor from the venom of Naja kaouthia

A highly active anticomplement factor (cobra venom factor) from the venom of Naja kaouthia in South Yunnan, China was isolated by sequential column chromatography (SP-Sephadex-C25, Q Sepharose HP and Sephadex G-150). It displays strong anticomplement acti

Relationship between COPD and polymorphisms of HOX-1 and mEPH in a Chinese population

Recent studies have proposed that susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) might be related with the polymorphisms of some genes encoding antioxidant enzymes, such as heme oxygenase-1 (HOX-1) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEPH).

蓝氏贾第虫核纤层蛋白基因的初步研究

贾第虫一度被认为是迄今已知的最原始的真核细胞, 但近来争议日盛。利用PCR 和测序等技术, 对 蓝氏贾第虫( Giardia lamblia) 的核纤层蛋白(lamin) 基因进行了研究。结果表明: 蓝氏贾第虫基因组中存在 一个编码具有明显lamin 特征的基因序列。如该基因序列的3′- 端具有编码与核内膜亲和的特征性模体(motif ) CaaX 的序列; 具有B 型lamin 基因所特有的高度保守的27 bp 片段, 该片段编码高度保守的位于α螺旋杆状区 的9 氨基酸片段等。同时, 这些序列特征又与多细胞的后生动物存在一定差异。这些事实说明在贾第虫中已经 进化产生了典型真核细胞的B 型lamin (基因) 或至少是类似B 型的lamin (基因) , 该生物的进化地位可能并 非过去所认为的那么原始。

~3H的辐射生物学效应的研究（Ⅳ）HTO对莱哈衣藻（Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard）核仁纤维区超微结构的影响

利用电子显微镜和银染技术研究ＨＴＯ对莱哈衣藻核仁纤维区的辐射效应。结果显示：分裂间期衣藻核仁纤维区为由细线样结构组成的索状结构；衣藻细胞在含低剂量ＨＴＯ（３７０ｋＢｑ／ｍＬ）培养基培养１４００ｈ以后，间期核仁纤维区索状结构变得膨松，体积增大；经含中剂量ＨＴＯ（３７００ｋＢｑ／ｍＬ）培养１４００ｈ以后，纤维区索状结构明显解体，轮廓变得不清晰；经含高剂量ＨＴＯ（３７０００ｋＢｑ／ｍＬ）培养基培养１４００ｈ后，纤维区索状结构完全解体，呈现出松散的细线样结构，同时参与ｒＲＮＡ合成的一种酸性蛋白明显减少，结果表明，衣藻细胞分裂间期的核仁纤维区对ＨＴＯ的辐射作用是敏感的。

猕猴属3个种的肱骨远端关节面的比较研究

对猕猴(Macaca mulatta)、 藏酋猴(M.thibetana)和熊猴(M.assamensis)肱 骨远端关节面Ⅱ项变量的分析表明, 关节面宽、鹰嘴窝宽、内上髁宽和滑车长 是区别3种猴类标本的主要变量。与其他灵长类相应变量的比较和主分量分析表 明: 与猕猴相比, 藏酋猴和熊猴的肱骨远端关节更为相似, 而猕猴则相似于暗色 叶猴、长臂猿和豚尾猴的关节面。 图2表2参17

滇西北昆虫区系特点

该文对滇西北昆虫区系特征进行了分析. 滇西北昆虫区系具有以下特点: 古北区与东洋区种类过渡与交混明显; 新发现的种类及特有种和狭布种十分丰富; 原始古老的种类多; 垂直分布明显. 如以江河分水岭为界, 尚可分为怒江、澜沧江、金沙江3个小区. 滇西北典型的东洋区系成份, 一般在海拔3000m以下地区, 海拔3000m以上则以古北区系成份为主。

白颊长臂猿染色体的研究

用各种染色体显带技术对云南南部的白颊长臂猿核型进行了详细研究, 并探讨了与其它长臂猿间的亲缘关系及核型进化的可能途径。它的2n=52, 核型公式为44(M或SM)+6(A), xy(M,A)。C带表明一些染色体着丝点C带弱化; 有的染色体出现插入的和端位的C带; X染色体两臂有端位C带, Y染色体是C带阳性和晚复制的。Ag-NORs的数目, 雌体有4个, 雄体有5个, Y染色体上具NOR。对白颊长臂猿与其它长臂猿间的亲缘关系和核型进化的可能途径进行了讨论。

The reproductive strategies of an endemic Tibetan fish, Gymnocypris selincuoensis

The reproductive traits of Gymnocypris selincuoensis from Selincuo Lake and its tributaries were investigated in 1997 and 1998. The youngest mature male was age 7 with a standard length (SL) of 172.0 mm, and the youngest mature female was age 8 with a SL of 194.0 mm. The L(50)s Of SL and age at first maturity were respectively 250.32 mm and age 9 for males and 224.71 mm and age 8 for females. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) significantly changed with seasons for mature individuals but not for immature individuals. GSIs of mature females at stages IV and V of ovary development increased with SL and reached a maximum value at the SL range from 370 mm to 390 mm; the GSIs of mature males were negatively correlated with SL. The breeding season lasted from early April to early August. Egg size did not significantly change with SL but increased with the delay of spawning. The individual absolute fecundity varied from 1,341 to 28,002 eggs (mean 12,607+/-7,349), and the individual relative fecundity varied from 6.4 to 42.0 eggs.g(-1) (mean 25.5+/-9.7). The individual fecundity increased with total body weight; it also increased with SL for those of SL less than 370 mm. There was a rest of spawning for mature individuals.
