烟草NtFtsZ2-1基因在叶绿体分裂中的作用机制研究及NtFtsZ1-2基因启动子的克隆

根癌农杆菌通过将一段含有“癌”基因的T-DNA导入植物基因组中，引起植物的肿瘤：冠瘿。根癌农杆菌的这种能力来源于Ti质粒（Tumor inducing plasmid）。遗传工程中，根癌农杆菌的这一特性被用来将连接入Ti质粒T-DNA区两个边界之间的外源基因转入植物基因组。随着植物分子生物学的发展，T-DNA转化的原理被进一步阐明，农杆菌介导的转基因技术也得到进一步优化，更适合遗传工程操作。特别是Ti质粒毒性区和T-DNA区的反式作用（即位于不同质粒的T-DNA和毒性区也能侵染植物）被发现以来，双元表达载体的构建使遗传工程操作大为简便。 常用的双元表达载体大小都在11kb以上，尽管远远小于几百kb的野生型Ti质粒，但在实际的体外操作中还是不够简便。常用的植物双元表达载体pBI121的基因序列被测定（Frisch et al.，1995），数据显示非T-DNA区一半以上的序列被发现和功能无关，这使双元载体的进一步缩小成为可能。本文即通过PCR方法克隆到pBI121非T-DNA区中载体复制、三亲杂交必需的片段，结合载体pART27中的T-DNA区（含有真核、原核表达活性的嵌合npt II基因）创造了小的合成型植物表达双元载体pSY1（小于7kb）。然后将pBI121上带有35S启动子和nos终止子的GUS基因克隆到pSY1的T-DNA区中，得到pSY2（约10kb）。进一步用pROK2上的35S启动子和nos终止子区替换pSY2上的GUS表达区，得到pSY3（约8kb）。通过三亲法将pSY2转入根癌农杆菌中，根癌农杆菌再通过叶盘法侵染烟草叶片，获得愈伤组织，愈伤组织进一步分化出小苗。GUS组织化学染色表明GUS基因在转基因的愈伤组织和小苗中均有表达，PCR检测也证明GUS基因被导入了植物基因组。pSY系列载体能成功的用于植物遗传转化。

Localization and distribution of tissue type and urokinase type plasminogen activators and their inhibitors type 1 and 2 in human and rhesus monkey fetal membranes

Fetal membranes consist of 10 distinct layers including components of amnion, chorion and decidua, the latter being of maternal origin. They form mechanically integrated sheets capable of retaining amniotic fluid and play an essential role in protecting fetal growth and development in the pregnant uterus. The extracellular matrix, substrate for plasminogen activators (PAs), is an important supportive framework of the fetal membranes. :Fetal membranes from women with preterm premature rupture of membranes may differ in their protease activity compared with normal membranes. To identify the presence of PAs and their inhibitors (PAI) and their possible role in the process of fetal membrane rupture, this study in investigated the distribution and localization of both protein and mRNA for tissue (t) and urokinase (u) PA and their inhibitors type 1 (PAI-1) and type 2 (PAI-2) in amniochorion of human and rhesus monkey using conventional and. confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. In situ hybridization analysis showed that the distribution and localization of mRNAs for tPA, uPA, PAI-I and PAI-2 were similar in the fetal membranes of human and rhesus monkey; no obvious species difference was observed. Evidence of tPA mRNA was detected in amniotic epithelium, trophoblast cells and nearly all cells of the decidual layer. Strong expression of uPA mRNA was noted in the decidual cells which increased in intensity as the abscission point was approached. Weak staining in chorion laeve trophoblast was also detected. In situ hybridization experiments showed PAI-1 mRNA to be concentrated mainly in the decidual cells, some of which were interposed into the maternal-facing edge of the chorion laeve. Maximal labelling of the decidua occurred towards the zone of abscission. Weak expression of PAI-1 mRNA nas also noted in some cells of the chorion laeve. The distribution of PAI-2 mRNA in amniochorion was also concentrated in the cells of the decidual layer, maximum expression of the mRNA was in the level of abscission. No detectable amount of mRNAs for tPA, uPA, PAI-1 and PAI-2 was found in the fibroblast, reticular and spongy layers. Distribution of the proteins of tPA, uPA and PAI-1 in the fetal membranes of these two species was consistent with the distribution of their mRNA. Anti-PAI-2 immunofluorescence was found to be strongly concentrated in the amniotic epithelium, but PAI-2 mRNA was negative in this layer, suggesting that the epithelium-associated PAI-2 is not of epithelial origin. These findings suggest that a local fibrinolysis in fetal membranes generated by precisely balanced expression of PAs and their inhibitors via paracrine or autocrine mechanisms may play an essential role in fetal membrane development, maturation and in membrane rupture. Following an analysis of the distribution and synthesis of activators and inhibitors it was found that they may play a role in abscission during the third stage of labour. (C) 1998 W. B.

Gene structures and promoter characteristics of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1), IRF-2 and IRF-7 from snakehead Channa argus

Three interferon regulatory factor (IRF) genes, CaIRF-1, CaIRF-2 and CaIRF-7, and their promoters of snakehead (Channa argus) were cloned and characterized. The CaIRF-1 gene consists of ten exons, spans 4.3 kb and encodes a putative peptide of 299 aa. The CaIRF-2 gene consists of nine exons, spans 8 kb and encodes a putative peptide of 328 aa. The gene organizations of CaIRF-1 and CaIRF-2 are very similar to that of human IRF-1 and IRF-2 except more compact. Comparison of exon-intron organization of the two genes indicated a common evolutionary structure, notably within the exons encoding the DNA binding domain (DBD) of the two factors. The CaIRF-7 gene spans 4.1 kb and encodes a putative peptide of 437 aa. However, the gene organization of CaIRF-7 consisting of ten exons is different to human IRF-7a gene which has an intron in 5' UTR. Three CaIRFs share homology in N-terminal encompassing the DBD that contains a characteristic repeat of tryptophan residues. The promoters of CaIRF-1 and CaIRF-2 genes contain the conserved sites for NF-kappa B and Sp1. The gamma-IFN activation sites (GAS) were found in the promoters of CaIRF-1 and CaIRF-7. The promoter of CaIRF-7 contains conserved interferon stimulating response element (ISRE) which is characteristic of IFN-induced gene promoter, and suggests that there also exist intracellular amplifier circuit in fish IFN signal pathway. Moreover, the element GAAANN oriented in both directions is repeated in CaIRF promoter regions, which confers to further inducibility by IFN. The constitutive expression of CaIRF genes were found to increase obviously in response to induction by the known IFN-inducer poly I:C. (c) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Enhanced charge storage characteristics of silicon nanocrystals fabricated by electron-beam coevaporation of Si and SiOx(x=1 or 2)

In this article, a simple and flexible electron-beam coevaporation (EBCE) technique has been reported of fabrication of the silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) and their application to the nonvolatile memory. For EBCE, the Si and SiOx(x=1 or 2) were used as source materials. Transmission electron microscopy images and Raman spectra measurement verified the formation of the Si NCs. The average size and area density of the Si NCs can be adjusted by increasing the Si:O weight ratio in source material, which has a great impact on the crystalline volume fraction of the deposited film and on the charge storage characteristics of the Si NCs. A memory window as large as 6.6 V under +/- 8 V sweep voltage was observed for the metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor structure with the embedded Si NCs.

1、喜树碱类衍生物抗HIV构效关系与作用机制研究2、HIV/AIDS患者疱疹病毒感染状况及性病患者的HIV感染状况分析

1、喜树碱类衍生物抗HIV构效关系与作用机制研究 喜树碱为传统的抗肿瘤药物。本研究对经过化学结构修饰的喜树碱类衍生物进行抗HIV活性及作用机制的研究，并初步探讨了其抗HIV构效关系。 我们对喜树碱类衍生物A系列化合物A1(喜树碱)、A2(10-羟基喜树碱)及A3(7-羟基喜树碱)进行了抗HIV活性检测。化合物A1和A3有较好的抗HIV-1和抗HIV-2活性，化合物A2没有显示抗HIV活性。表明化合物A1的C-10位上-OH基团修饰可能会降低抗HIV活性，化合物A1的C-7位上-CH2OH基团修饰和C-20位-CH3缺失可能会提高其抗HIV活性。对化合物A3和A1的抗HIV机制研究发现：二者对整合酶有一定的结合活性，对慢性感染H9/HIV-1ⅢB 和Jurkat/HIV-1ⅢB细胞中病毒复制没有抑制活性、不能阻断H9/HIV-1ⅢB与正常细胞间的融合，对重组的HIV-1蛋白酶和逆转录酶没有抑制活性。化合物A1和A3不具有选择性杀伤HIV-1ⅢB慢性感染的H9和Jurkat细胞系的作用。进一步进行化合物A3诱导 H9和H9/HIV-1ⅢB、Jurkat和Jurkat/HIV-1ⅢB的凋亡实验显示，化合物A3诱导感染HIV-1ⅢB和未感染病毒细胞的凋亡没有选择性。据此我们初步认为化合物A3和A1的抗HIV作用可能与抑制整合酶活性有关，该化合物可能还作用于其它靶点。 喜树碱类衍生物B系列中化合物B1为20(S)-O - [-O-( 1'-氧基-2',2',6',6'-四甲基哌啶-4'-丁二酸)]-20-喜树碱酯，化合物B2为20(S)-O - [-N-( 1'-氧基-2',2',6',6'-四甲基-1',2',5',6'-四氢吡啶酰胺)-4'-丙氨酸)]-20-喜树碱酯)。我们对化合物B1和B2进行了抗HIV活性检测。结果显示：化合物B2有较好的抗HIV-1和抗HIV-21、喜树碱类衍生物抗HIV构效关系与作用机制研究 喜树碱为传统的抗肿瘤药物。本研究对经过化学结构修饰的喜树碱类衍生物进行抗HIV活性及作用机制的研究，并初步探讨了其抗HIV构效关系。 我们对喜树碱类衍生物A系列化合物A1(喜树碱)、A2(10-羟基喜树碱)及A3(7-羟基喜树碱)进行了抗HIV活性检测。化合物A1和A3有较好的抗HIV-1和抗HIV-2活性，化合物A2没有显示抗HIV活性。表明化合物A1的C-10位上-OH基团修饰可能会降低抗HIV活性，化合物A1的C-7位上-CH2OH基团修饰和C-20位-CH3缺失可能会提高其抗HIV活性。对化合物A3和A1的抗HIV机制研究发现：二者对整合酶有一定的结合活性，对慢性感染H9/HIV-1ⅢB 和Jurkat/HIV-1ⅢB细胞中病毒复制没有抑制活性、不能阻断H9/HIV-1ⅢB与正常细胞间的融合，对重组的HIV-1蛋白酶和逆转录酶没有抑制活性。化合物A1和A3不具有选择性杀伤HIV-1ⅢB慢性感染的H9和Jurkat细胞系的作用。进一步进行化合物A3诱导 H9和H9/HIV-1ⅢB、Jurkat和Jurkat/HIV-1ⅢB的凋亡实验显示，化合物A3诱导感染HIV-1ⅢB和未感染病毒细胞的凋亡没有选择性。据此我们初步认为化合物A3和A1的抗HIV作用可能与抑制整合酶活性有关，该化合物可能还作用于其它靶点。 喜树碱类衍生物B系列中化合物B1为20(S)-O - [-O-( 1'-氧基-2',2',6',6'-四甲基哌啶-4'-丁二酸)]-20-喜树碱酯，化合物B2为20(S)-O - [-N-( 1'-氧基-2',2',6',6'-四甲基-1',2',5',6'-四氢吡啶酰胺)-4'-丙氨酸)]-20-喜树碱酯)。我们对化合物B1和B2进行了抗HIV活性检测。结果显示：化合物B2有较好的抗HIV-1和抗HIV-2活性，而化合物B1的抗HIV活性差。表明化合物B1的C-4’位-CH2被-NH取代，同时C-3’位-CH3修饰可能会提高其抗HIV活性。对化合物B2的抗HIV机制研究发现，化合物B2对慢性感染H9/HIV-1ⅢB细胞中病毒复制没有抑制活性、不能阻断H9/HIV-1ⅢB与正常细胞间的融合，对HIV-1蛋白酶、重组的HIV-1逆转录酶及整合酶没有抑制活性。化合物B2不具有选择性杀伤HIV-1ⅢB慢性感染的H9细胞系的作用。化合物B2抗HIV的作用机制还需进一步研究。 2、HIV/AIDS患者疱疹病毒感染状况及性病患者的HIV感染状况分析 疱疹病毒是AIDS患者合并感染的常见病原体。引起人类疾病的8种疱疹病毒与HIV感染及AIDS进展、机会性感染、恶性肿瘤密切相关。为了解HIV/AIDS患者人类8型疱疹病毒感染状况，我们检测了30例AIDS患者、40例HIV携带者及70例正常对照的液标本中8型疱疹病毒感染状况。采用ELISA法检测单纯疱疹病毒1型(HSV-1)、单纯疱疹病毒2型(HSV-2)、水痘-带状疱疹病毒(VZV)和巨细胞病毒(CMV)；采用PCR法检测EB病毒(EBV)、疱疹病毒6型(HHV-6)、疱疹病毒7型(HHV-7)及疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)。结果显示，HIV/AIDS患者中HSV-1、HSV-2、VZV、CMV、HHV-6、HHV-8 阳性率均高于健康体检者，其中AIDS患者VZV感染率与HIV携带者有显著性差异；在AIDS患者中多种疱疹病毒共感染普遍存在，必须重视HIV/AIDS患者合并疱疹病毒感染的防治。 性病可促进HIV的传播，了解性病患者的HIV感染状况及临床特征具有重要的意义。在自愿接受HIV咨询检测的基础上，对临床确诊的412例性病患者进行HIV-1/2抗体检测，并对其临床特征进行分析研究。结果显示412例性病患者的HIV检出率为2.9%。性病患者中检出HIV阳性率依次为：尖锐湿疣(6.2%)、生殖器疱疹(4.2%)、梅毒(3.4%)、淋病(1.5%)及非淋菌性尿道炎(1.0%)。83.3%合并感染HIV的性病患者存在多性伴，商业性行为普遍存在，安全套使用率极低现象。感染HIV的尖锐湿疣及生殖器疱疹患者以频繁复发为突出表现，1例合并感染HIV的梅毒患者半年即进展为神经梅毒。性病患者是HIV感染的重要高危人群，危险性行为是其感染HIV和其它性病的主要原因，应该加强性病患者的HIV检测。对临床上频繁复发的尖锐湿疣及生殖器疱疹患者、快速进展的梅毒患者应高度怀疑合并HIV感染的可能。

Energy level analyses of even-parity J=1 and 2 Rydberg states of Sn I by multichannel quantum defect theory

This paper analyzes the energy levels along the even-parity J=1 and 2 Rydberg series of Sn I by multichannel quantum defect theory. A good agreement between theoretical and experimental energy levels was achieved. Below 59198 cm~(-1), a total of 85 and 23 new energy levels, respectively, in the J=1 and J=2 series, which cannot be measured previously by experiments, are predicted in this work. Based on the calculated admixture coefficients of each channel, interchannel interactions were discussed in detail. The results are helpful to understand the characteristics of configuration interaction among even-parity levels in Sn I.

1.初级视觉皮层功能，GABA系统功能在衰老过程中的变化; 2.奖赏机制，极低频磁场的生物学效应研究

1 初级视觉皮层功能，GABA系统功能在衰老过程中的变化 本章首先对衰老过程中神经形态学和神经电生理学上的研究进行了综述，然后报道了作者的博士学位论文研究工作。实验采用神经电生理的手段，探讨初级视觉皮层（primary visual cortex；V1）功能，以及GABA（gamma-aminobutyric acid）系统功能在衰老过程中的变化。 实验1和2均采用单细胞记录技术，检测了中年猴V1细胞的方位选择性、方向选择性、自发放和最大反应，并与年轻和老年猴进行对比；比较了年轻和老年猴V1细胞的感受野外周抑制能力。在实验3中，我们记录了年轻和中年大鼠在给予GABA直接或间接的激动剂，戊巴比妥钠或氯胺酮{通过拮抗NMDA（N-methyl-D-aspartate）受体}后，其皮层的EEG（electroencephalogram）活动，并分析与年龄相关的差异。结果如下： 实验1：中年猴V1细胞的方向选择性和自发放介于年轻猴和老年猴之间，而方位选择性和最大反应与年龄之间没有相关性。 实验2：感受野外周区的最优刺激明显降低了年轻和老年猴具有高方位选择性细胞的比例。同时，年轻猴所有细胞，以及老年猴高方位选择性细胞具有较高的最大抑制比，与它们相比，老年猴无明显方位偏好细胞的最大抑制比显著降低； 实验3：戊巴比妥钠注射后，在年轻和中年大鼠上，alpha (8-12 Hz) 和beta (12-20 Hz) 频段EEG功率增加，theta (4-8 Hz) 功率减少，这些变化在中年大鼠上较为明显。氯胺酮注射后，中年大鼠theta功率比年轻大鼠具有更大幅度的降低。 我们的结果表明，视觉皮层功能的下调在衰老早期就已发生，其机制可能与抑制系统功能普遍降低有关. 2 奖赏机制，极低频磁场的生物学效应研究 本章首先对自然奖赏和药物成瘾机制、极低频磁场生物学效应，以及极低频磁场对奖赏系统的影响进行了综述，然后报道了作者的博士论文研究工作。实验目的是探讨大鼠眶额叶皮质（orbitofrontal cortex；OFC）活动与食物奖赏刺激的相关性，以及极低频磁场对小鼠空间认知能力的影响。 实验1采用EEG记录技术，检测了大鼠OFC在食物奖赏和渴求过程中EEG各频段的功率变化。在实验2中，使用了一种探索型Y-迷宫实验范式，它仅依赖于啮齿类动物天生的探索欲望，避免了奖赏效应的干扰，利用此新型迷宫，我们检测了25和50 Hz磁场对小鼠空间识别记忆能力的影响。其结果如下： 实验1：大鼠OFC的delta频段（2-4 Hz）EEG活动与食物刺激显著相关，其相对功率在食物渴求时下降，在食物奖赏时升高。 实验2：与短时照射相比，长时的50 Hz磁场照射降低了小鼠对新异臂的探索能力，而25和50 Hz磁场暴露都不影响小鼠的活动力。 本研究表明，食物奖赏与OFC的delta频段EEG活动密切相关，而我们以前发现，大鼠和猴OFC的gamma（20-100 Hz）活动与吗啡成瘾相关，提示了OFC在自然奖赏和药物成瘾中具有不同的作用；另外，本实验首次证明，极低频磁场损害了小鼠不依赖于奖赏系统的空间认知能力，而我们先前发现，极低频磁场可以强化吗啡诱导的条件化位置偏好，从而说明极低频磁场对吗啡成瘾具有独特的生物学效应。

Effect of the nucleating agent 1,3 : 2,4-di(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene) sorbitol on the gamma phase content of propylene/ethylene copolymer

The influence of the concentration of a nucleating agent (NA), namely 1,3:2,4-di(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene) sorbitol (DMDBS), on the gamma phase content in a propylene/ethylene copolymer was investigated by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Wide-Angle X-ray Diffraction (WAXD), Small- Angle X-ray Scatter (SAXS) and Polarized Optical Microscopy (POM).
