DOPAMINE D-1 RECEPTOR MECHANISMS IN THE COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE OF YOUNG-ADULT AND AGED MONKEYS

Dopamine (DA) D-1 receptor compounds were examined in monkeys for effects on the working memory functions of the prefrontal cortex and on the fine motor abilities of the primary motor cortex. The D-1 antagonist, SCH23390, the partial D-1 agonist, SKF38393, and the full D-1 agonist, dihydrexidine, were characterized in young control monkeys, and in aged monkeys with naturally occurring catecholamine depletion. In addition, SKF38393 was tested in young monkeys experimentally depleted of catecholamines with chronic reserpine treatment. Injections of SCH23390 significantly impaired the memory performance of young control monkeys, but did not impair aged monkeys with presumed catecholamine depletion. Conversely, the partial agonist, SKF38393, improved the depleted monkeys (aged or reserpine-treated) but did not improve young control animals. The full agonist, dihydrexidine, did improve memory performance in young control monkeys, as well as in a subset of aged monkeys. Consistent with D, receptor mechanisms, agonist-induced improvements were blocked by SCH23390. Drug effects on memory performance occurred independently of effects on fine motor performance. These results underscore the importance of DA D-1 mechanisms in cognitive function, and provide functional evidence of DA system degeneration in aged monkeys. Finally, high doses of D-1 agonists impaired memory performance in aged monkeys, suggesting that excessive D-1 stimulation may be deleterious to cognitive function.

线粒体D-loop序列变异与东方鲀属鱼类系统发育

东方鲀属的红鳍东方鲀(Takifugu rubripes)是后基因组时代的一种重要模式生物。本研究中,利用东方鲀属11种鱼类(18尾)的D-loop基因序列,对东方鲀属鱼类的系统发育关系进行研究。经序列比对排定后,分析中D-loop序列有841个位点,其中395个位点为可变位点,267个位点为系统发育信息位点。分别采用邻接法(NJ)、最大简约法(MP)、最大似然法(ML)和贝叶斯方法构建了分子系统树。研究结果表明:(1)东方鲀属鱼类为一单系类群;(2)由横纹东方鲀(T. oblongus)和铅点东方鲀(T

线粒体DNA d-loop序列变异与鳅鮀亚科鱼类系统发育

对鳅鮀亚科(Gobiobotinae)2个属8个种10个个体线粒体控制区d-loop全序列进行了测定.以(鱼丹)亚科斑马鱼为外类群,对鳅鮀及鲤科(Cyprinidae)一些亚科代表种鱼类进行了系统发育分析.结果显示,鳅鮀鱼类是一个单系类群,与鮈和细鲫有较近的亲缘关系.从系统发育的角度看,鳅鮀亚科应归属于鮈亚科(Gobioninae).研究结果支持鳅鮀亚科分为异鳔鳅鳅属(Xenophyso-gobio)和鳅鮀属(Gobiobtia).

2,4-D对鱼腥藻增殖的效应

本文在实验室批量培养,室外小池大量培养和塑料大棚大面积培养的基础上,研究了植物激素2,4-D刺激鱼腥藻增殖的效应。浓度在0.01—2.00μg/mL范围内都具有刺激鱼腥藻增殖的效果,随着浓度增加,这种效果降低。品质分析结果表明,0.01μg/mL2.4-D可提高蛋白质和叶绿素a的含量;浓度为0.05μg/mL时,二者的含量与对照相差不大;浓度达到0.1μg/mL时,二者的含量降低。本文提出,2,4-D刺激鱼腥藻增殖的应用浓度应在0.05μg/mL以下,以0.01μg/mL效果最佳。

气单胞菌(Aeromonassp.D-4)降解LAS的研究

Aeromonas sp.D-4不能以LAS作为唯一碳源,它对LAS的利用是通过共代谢来完成的。LAS对D-4具有毒害作用,而且,起始LAS浓度越高,毒害作用越大。LAS的最大去除率与起始LAS浓度呈负相关。当起始LAS在40—120mg/L之间时,去除率较高;如果起始LAS在40mg/L左右,则去除率可达80％以上。研究还表明,Aeromonas sp.D-4纯培养对LAS的去除率(最大值84.97％)大于混合菌(最大值78.57％)。耗氧呼吸测定证实了Aeromonas sp.D-4对于LAS的共代谢

Effect of dietary supplementation of vitamins A, D-3, E, and C on yearling rice field eel, Monopterus albus: Serum indices, gonad development, and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary vitamins A, D-3, E, and C on the gonad development, lipid peroxidation, and immune response of yearling rice field eel, Monopterus albus. A 6-wk feeding trial was designed according to an L-16(4(5)) orthogonal design, in which four vitamins, each at four supplementation levels, were arranged. Sixteen diets were mixed with the different vitamin levels and randomly assigned to 16 groups of fish. Increasing dietary vitamin E supplementation level significantly (P <= 0.05) increased the gonadosomatic index and lowered the serum content of malondialdehyde of rice field eel. Increasing dietary vitamin A and C levels also showed similar effect, but the differences were not statistically significant. Serum immunoglobulin M content increased significantly (P <= 0.01) as dietary vitamin C supplementation levels increased. The concentrations of calcium in bones showed significant (P <= 0.05) trend with vitamin D-3 and A supplementation levels, but the bone phosphorus content was not affected by the dietary vitamin levels.

Mitochondrial d-loop sequence variation and phylogeny of gobiobotine fishes

The mitochondrial DNA control region is amplified and sequenced from 8 genera and 10 species of gobiobotine fishes. The phylogenetic tree of Gobiobotinae and some representative species of other Cyprinid subfamilies obtained by the method of neighborhood joining, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony with Danio rerio as an outgroup indicates that Gobiobotinae fishes are a monophyletic group which is close to Gobioninae subfamily. Gobiobotinae should be included into subfamily Gobioninae in terms of phylogenetic analysis. The research result supports that Gobiobotinae can be divided into genus Xenophysogobio and Gobiobotia. Xenophysogabio is the most primitive genera in the subfamily.
