Zinc coupling potentiates anti-HIV-1 activity of baicalin

Baicalin (BA) has been shown with anti-HIV-1 activity. Zinc is a nutrient element. The anti-HIV-1 activity of zinc complex of baicalin (BA-Zn) in vitro was studied and compared with the anti-HIV-1 activities between BA and BA-Zn in the present study. Our results suggested that BA-Zn has lower cytotoxicity and higher anti-HIV-1 activity compared with those of BA in vitro. The CC(50)s of BA-Zn and BA were 221.52 and 101.73 muM, respectively. The cytotoxicity of BA-Zn was about 1.2-fold lower than that of BA. The BA and BA-Zn inhibited HIV-1 induced syncytium formation, HIV-1 p24 antigen and HIV-1 RT production. The EC(50)s of BA-Zn on inhibiting HIV-1 induced syncytium formation (29.08 muM) and RT production (31.17 muM) were lower than those of BA (43.27 and 47.34 muM, respectively). BA-Zn was more effective than BA in inhibiting the activities of recombinant RT and HIV-1 entry into host cells. Zinc coupling enhanced the anti-HTV-1 activity of baicalin. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.

Chemical Constituents from the Leaves and Stems of Schisandra rubriflora

Six new nortriterpenoids, schirubridilactones A-F (1-6). as well as 14 known compounds, were isolated from the leaves and stems of Schisandra rubriflora. The Structures of 1-6 were elucidated oil the basis of spectroscopic methods including HSQC, HMBC, H-1-H-1 COSY, and ROESY NMR experiments. The relative stereochemistry of I was confirmed through single-crystal X-ray analysis. In addition, compounds 1-6 showed anti-HIV-1 activity with EC50 values in the range 14.3-80.8 mu g/mL and Selectivity indices in the range 2.2-9.0.

A review of the Chinese species of Crossocheilus, with description of a new species (Ostariophysi : Cyprinidae)

Fishes of the genus Crossocheilus in China is reviewed on the basis of specimens in Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Crossocheilus multirastellus is described from the upper Irrawaddy and upper Salween rivers. It is distinguished from all of its congeners by having two black longitudinal stripes on sides of body, 36-38 lateral line scales, 18-25 gill rakers, anus at midpoint between ventral fin and anal fin insertions, ventral fin extending over anus, a large deep blue rhomboid spot above the pectoral fin, and a straight mouth gape almost equal to head width. There are presently two species of Crossocheilus fishes in China. Crossocheilus bamaensis Fang and Crossocheilus liuchengensis Liang, Liu & Wu are recognized here as members of the genus Sinocrossocheilus.

Threatened fishes of the world: Cyprinus micristius Regan 1906 (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

Conservation status, identification, distribution, abundance, habitat and ecology, conservation actions and recommendations of a endemic cyprinid fish, Cyprinus micristius were introduced based on data and knowledge from a GEF project in Lake Dianchi, Yun

A new species of Genus Triplophysa (Nemacheilinae: Balitoridae), Triplophysa longipectoralis sp nov, from Guangxi, China

A new species, Triplophysa longipectoralis, is described from Liujiang River, Guangxi, China. The new species is distinguished from other species of Triplophysa by the following combination of characters: pectoral fin highly developed, reaching beyond pel

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。

Co-occurrence of A1555G and G11778A in a Chinese family with high penetrance of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

Co-occurrence of double pathogenic mtDNA mutations with different claimed pathological roles in one mtDNA is infrequent. It is tentative to believe that each of these pathogenic mutations would have its own deleterious effect. Here we reported one three-g

云南横断山区人口和农业统计量中的生态信息

云南横断山区以其生物多样性丰富著称，又是一个有国际兴趣的生态敏感区。然而，它也不乏生态忧患。乡村景观的实地考察说明：这些地区刀耕火种、轮歇耕作仍然盛行，不少居民已经面对着农牧业用地向林区过度扩张所致的水土流失、水源枯竭等严重环境问题。为了解问题之根源，我选择了该山区腹地的８个贫困县，１９９０年开展了人口和农业统计量的相关矩阵分析。结果表明：乡村人口与总人口，耕地面积与总人口、乡村人口，粮食产量和农业总产值呈显著正相关。但在实地考察中发现：人口的持续增量导致地面植被的覆盖率急速下降已成为一种生态警报。因此该山区的社会／经济发展和生物多样性保护都有赖于对生育控制的成功和耕作方式的改良
