PROPERTIES OF BETA-CARBOXYETHYL-GERMANIUM SESQUIOXIDE AND INTERACTIONS OF IT WITH SOME SUBSTRATES

Three samples of β-carboxyethyl-germanium sesquioxide (Ge-132) have been prepared with different methods. Their IR, Raman, XPS, TG-DTA and FAB-MS spectra are quite different and indicate that they have different degree of polymerization and molecule structures. In the aqeous solution, all of them interaot strongly with fructose, but not with polypeptides such as GSH and GSSG. This faot may be important in understanding the bioactivity of Ge-132.

β—羧乙基锗倍半氧化物的性质及在水溶液中与某些生物底物的作用

三种不同制备方法的β-羧乙基锗倍半氧化物(Ge-132),其红外、拉曼光谱、光电子能谱以及热分析行为表现一定差异。这种差异主要因制备方法不同,获得样品中羧基间氢键作用以及Ge—O环尺度和键角不同引起的。它们在水溶液中均水解为三羟锗基丙酸,~1H NMR谱上观察到与果糖有较强作用,与谷胱甘肽作用不明显,为了解Ge-132的生物作用机理提供了重要信息。

A Dorsal homolog (FcDorsal) in the Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis is responsive to both bacteria and WSSV challenge

Rel/NF kappa B is a family of transcription factors. In the present study, a Rel/NF kappa B family member, Dorsal homolog (FcDorsal) was cloned from the Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis. The full length cDNA of FcDorsal consists of 1627 bp, revealed a 1071 bp open reading frame encoding 357 aa. The predicted molecular weight (MW)of the deduced amino acid sequence of FcDorsal was 39.78 kDa, and its theoretical pl was 8.85. Amino acid sequence analysis showed that FcDorsal contains a Rel homolog domain (RHD) and an IPT/TIG (Ig-like, plexins and transcriptions factors) domain. The signature sequence of dorsal protein existed in the deduced amino acid sequence. Spatial expression profiles showed that FcDorsal had the highest expression level in the hemocytes and lymphoid organ (Oka). The expression profiles in the hemocytes and lymphoid organ were apparently modulated when shrimp were stimulated by bacteria or WSSV. Both Gram-positive (G(+)) bacteria (Micrococcus lysodeikticus) and Gram-negative (G(-)) bacteria (Vibrio anguillarium) injection to shrimp caused the up-regulation of FcDorsal at the transcription level. DsRNA approach was used to study the function of FcDorsal and the data showed that FcDorsal was related to the transcription of Penaeidin 5 in shrimp. The present data provide clues that FcDorsal might play potential important roles in the innate immunity of shrimp. Through comparison of the expression profiles between FcDorsal and another identified Rel/NF kappa B member (FcRelish) in shrimp responsive to WSSV challenge, we speculate that FcDorsal and FcRelish might play different roles in shrimp immunity.

Genetic mapping of size-related quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) using AFLP and microsatellite markers

We constructed genetic linkage maps for the bay scallop Argopecten irradians using AFLP and microsatellite markers and conducted composite interval mapping (CIM) of body-size-related traits. Three hundred seventeen AFLP and 10 microsatellite markers were used for map construction. The female parent map contained 120 markers in 15 linkage groups, spanning 479.6 cM with an average interval of 7.0 cM. The male parent map had 190 markers in 17 linkage groups, covering 883.8 cM at 7.2 cM per marker. The observed coverage was 70.4% for the female and 81.1% for the male map. Markers that were distorted toward the same direction were closely linked to each other on the genetic maps, suggesting the presence of genes important for survival. Six size-related traits, shell length, shell height, shell width, total weight, soft tissue weight, and shell weight, were measured for QTL mapping. The size data were significantly correlated with each other. We subjected the data, log transformed firstly, to a principle component analysis and use the first principle component for QTL mapping. CIM analysis revealed one significant QTL (LOD=2.69, 1000 permutation, P<0.05) in linkage group 3 on the female parent map. The mapping of size-related QTL in this study raises the possibility of improving the growth of bay scallops through marker-assisted selection. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.

滇西北雪鸡坪斑岩铜矿S，Pb同位素组成及对成矿物质来源的示踪

雪鸡坪斑岩铜矿位于西南三江构造火成岩带义敦岛孤带，其成矿斑岩为印支期石英闪长玢岩和石英二长宽岩。研究对该矿区安山岩、矿化斑岩和矿石矿物系统进行S，Pb同位素分析结果表明：金属硫化物的δ34S值为-3．1‰～＋0．7‰，平均值为-1．1‰，与矿化斑岩的硫同位素组成（-1．4‰和-1．5‰）一致，均落入幔源硫范围，表明硫主要来自岩浆；δ34S黄铁矿（-1．8‰～＋0.7‰，平均0．5‰）〉δ34S黄铜矿（-2．2‰～0．0‰，平均-1．2‰）〉δ34S方铅矿（-3．1‰～1．3‰，平均-2．4‰），硫同位素分馏基本达到平衡。矿石矿物（208Pb／204Pb=37．917～38．230，平均值38．075；207Pb／204Pb-15．528～15．614，平均值15．571；206Pb／204Pb=17．929～18．082，平均值17．981）与矿化斑岩（208Pb／204Pb=37．832、37．883，207Pb／204Pb=15．529、15．538，206Pb／204Pb=17．906、17．910）以及安山岩（208Pb／204Pb=37．816～37．884，207Pb／204Pb-15．549～15．562,206Pb／204Pb=17．845～17．919）的初始铅组成基本一致，变化范围较小，表明三者具有相同的来源；在铅构造模式图上，所有样品铅同位素均位于造山带演化线上或附近，在铅同位素源区判别图中，均落入造山带和下地壳区域，这表明Pb主要来源于壳幔混合。雪鸡坪铜矿S，Pb同位素组成共同指示成矿物质主要来自于深部岩浆，这种岩浆可能主要起源于俯冲洋壳板片的部分熔融并受到少量地壳物质的混染。

我国部分地区中学生的学校回避倾向研究

The aim of this research is to explore the relationships between school avoidance tendency and school stressors, stress response, social support, coping style of secondary school students. Three studies were carried out. School avoidance tendency scale, mental health scale, coping style scale of secondary school students from Japan were revised in the first research. In the second research, the difference in gender, cities, grades of five variables were discussed. In the third research, the relationships of five variables were discussed. A total of 883 students from grade one of middle school to grade 3 of high school in Beijing, Taiyuan and Wulanchabu, completed three scales. Analysis showed that: 1. The main effects of city, gender, and grade were present significantly on School avoidance tendency, and the inter-effects were not significant. The differences were significant between three grades of middle schools, and not significant between three grades of high schools. The high school students were significant than middle school students on school avoidance tendency. 2. The main effect of city was not significant, but gender, and grade were present significantly on stressor, and the inter-effects were not significant. The most stressor was study one, than the relationship stressor from teachers. The relationship stressor from friends was at least. 3. The main effects of city and grade were present significantly on stress responses, but the main effect of gender was not significant, and the inter-effect was not significant. The most stress response was the physical response. 4. The main effects of city and gender, the inter-effect were not present significantly on social supports. The main effect of grade was present significantly. The most social support was from mother, than from friends, father, and the teachers. 5. The differences between cites on coping styles were not significant. Positive coping style was used mostly, than the style of help requirement, cognitive coping style. 6. Stressor and stress responses had significant positive predictive role on school avoidance tendency. Social supports had negative predictive role. Social supports had not moderator role between stressor, stress responses and schools avoidance tendency. Stress responses had a part of mediator between stressor and school avoidance tendency. 7. In the coping styles, positive coping style and help requirement style had negative predictive role, but cognitive coping style had positive predictive role on school avoidance tendency. Coping styles had negative predictive role. Coping styles had not moderator role between stressor, stress responses and school avoidance tendency.

Using oxidized carbon nanotubes as matrix for analysis of small molecules by MALDI-TOF MS

Oxidized carbon nanotubes are tested as a matrix for analysis of small molecules by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Compared with nonoxidized carbon nanotubes, oxidized carbon nanotubes facilitate sample preparation because of their higher solubility in water. The matrix layer of oxidized carbon nanotubes is much more homogeneous and compact than that of nonoxidized carbon nanotubes. The efficiency of desorption/ionization for analytes and the reproducibility of peak intensities within and between sample spots are greatly enhanced on the surface of oxidized carbon nanotubes. The advantage of the oxidized carbon nanotubes in comparison with alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CCA) and carbon nanotubes is demonstrated by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis of an amino acid mixture. The matrix is successfully used for analysis of synthetic hydroxypropyl P-cyclodextrin, suggesting a great potential for monitoring reactions and for product quality control. Reliable quantitative analysis of jatrorrhizine and palmatine with a wide linear range (1-100 ng/mL) and good reproducibility of relative peak areas (RSD less than 10 %) is achieved using this matrix. Concentrations of jatrorrhizine (8.65 mg/mL) and palmatine (10.4 mg/mL) in an extract of Coptis chinensis Franch are determined simultaneously using the matrix and a standard addition method.
