峨眉山藏猕猴雄—婴社会行为的补充观察

藏猕猴 (Macaca thibetana) 雄—婴行为的补充数据收集于1997年1～9月、覆盖了整个出生季节和半个交配季节. 分别用1分钟点取样和5分钟事件取样收集雄婴照料(怀抱+接近)和雄—婴—雄三边作用 (triad) 的数据. 焦点动物为两个猴群中的8个婴儿. 数据处理结果表明: ①雄—婴照料集中在4.5～18周龄, 而20周龄内的婴儿平均有7.9％的时间受到雄性照料(雄9.6％, 雌5.6％); ②雄性婴儿较雌性接受的照料偏多, 但同性个体间无差异; ③雄性照料的强度随行为者社会等级的升高而增大;④婴儿介入 triad的频次与其接受照料的强度正相关. 考虑到藏猕猴繁殖单位中非优势雄猴的效配机会极少, 结果③、④支持了先前关于性/新选择介入了藏猕猴猴雄—婴行为进化的结论. 然而, 因为结果②不支持严格的“父—子”照料假设, 这种介入只具有模糊的统计学意义。

SEXUAL-BEHAVIOR OF TIBETAN MACAQUES AT MT EMEI, CHINA

Data on sexual behavior were collected in six groups of semi-commensal Macaca thibetana along the trail on the slope habitat between 1987 and 1989. Ignoring the common items such as mounting, presenting etc., 20 categories of sexual behavior were described. Most of the descriptions were likely to have enlarged the behavior repertoire reported in macaques, showing a great complexity of sociosexual interactions under the principally natural condition. A great diversity of grouping appeared in the mating season. The copulatory pattern was found to be the serial type contrary to previous speculation, and the mount-to-ejaculation ratio was higher in the central subgroup, as compared with the far-peripheral adult subgroup (FAS) with less male and female rivals. An age-class subdivision of sexually active males made it possible to show that the young adult male immigrants were the most active class in sexual activity. Subgrouping form FAS was a ''space-segregation'' tactic of mating for the losers of both sexes in the competition. Some parameters of copulation were also documented.

A COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF THE ELBOW JOINTS IN 5 SPECIES OF CHINESE MACAQUES

In this paper, we report the findings of a comparative study of the elbow joints of five species of macaque that inhabit China: Macaca assamensis, M. arctoides, M. mulatta, M. thibetana and M. nemestrina. Results of multivariate analyses of size-related variables and indices of the elbow joint suggested that the breadths of the ventral aspect of the trochlea and of the medial epicondyle of the humerus as well as indices describing the head of the radius are important factors for discriminating these species. The elbow joint of M. arctoides was most similar to that of M. thibetana, no doubt reflecting recency of common ancestry and similarity in terrestrial locomotion. The structures of the elbow joints in M. nemestrina and assamensis seemed more adapted to arboreal quadrupedalism. The elbow joint of M. mulatta, however, appears intermediate between the most terrestrial and the most arboreal forms.

COMPARISON OF MASTICATORY MORPHOLOGY BETWEEN RHINOPITHECUS-BIETI AND R-ROXELLANA

The masticatory apparatus for two endemic species of golden monkey in China, Rhinopithecus bieti and Rhinopithecus roxellana, were compared with those of macaques, Macaca and leaf monkeys, Presbytis. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that the two golden monkey species are distinct. Interspecies allometric analyses revealed that golden monkeys differ in their masticatory apparatus from both macaques and leaf monkeys. The prominent symphysial fusion, corpus, and sagittal condylar dimension of R. roxellana may produce efficient biting force on the incisal and posterior canine teeth, with the heavy reaction force barn on the temporomandibular joint. However, the well-developed bizygamatic width and mandibular height in R. bieti suggest that posterior canine function is similarly prominent in R. roxellana, while incisal function is not.

Male-infant-male interactions in Tibetan macaques

Event-sampling and scans were used for collecting data on male-infant-male triadic interactions, and their effects on member spacing respectively in a group of Macaca thibetana at Mt. Emei in 1989. The group was partially provisioned by human visitors in seasons other than winter, and could be observed closely. In addition, a stable linear male-hierarchy among five males existed for two years since the end of 1987, providing a good social condition for this topic. The triadic interactions were specific to the birth season, and recognized as three types being on a continuum functionally changing from passive ''agonistic buffering'' (4.8%) to active spatial cohesion, which resulted in a significant decline of intermale distances. Positive correlations were documented between the triad initiation rate and the number of females in consort with the males in the mating season (MS), and between the triad reception rate and the number of infants in proximity to the males in the MS when maternal care was significantly reduced. Thus the male's mating effort and kin/sexual selection may deeply be involved in the triad of this species. Considering that the two triad-species, M. sylvanus and M. thibetana, had different levels of paternity, but shared similar foraging conditions, and showed similar intensities of male-infant caretaking, the triad was very likely a byproduct of male-infant caretaking, which was probably shaped to compensate heavy maternal investment to young offspring in harsh conditions. Accordingly, the long-term arguments about the triad in M. sylvanus can be united to a model of the way in which ''male-infant caretaking'' hypothesis works ultimately, and ''regulating social relations'' hypothesis does proximately.

Intergroup interactions in Tibetan macaques at Mt. Emei, China

Data on intergroup-interactions (I-I) were collected in 5 seasonally provisioned groups (A, B, D, D-1, and E) of Tibetan macaques (Macaca Thibetana) at Mt. Emei in three 70-day periods between 1991 April-June (P1), September-November (P2), December-1992 February (P3). The I-I were categorized as forewarning made by high-ranking males (including Branch Shaking and/or Loud Calls), long-distance interactions in space (specified by changes in their foraging movements), and close encounters (with Affinitive Behavior, Male's Herding Female, Sexual Interaction, Severe Conflict, Adult Male-male Conflict, Opportunistic Advance and Retreat, etc. performed by different age-sex classes). From periods Fl to P3, the I-I rate decreased with reduction in population density as a positive correlate of food clumpedness or the number of potential feeders along a pedestrian trail. On the other hand, from the birth season (BS, represented by P1 and P3) to the mating season (MS, represented by P2) the dominance relation between groups, which produced a winner and a loser in the encounters, became obscure; the proportion of close encounters in the I-I increased; the asymmetry (local groups over intruders) of forewarning signals disappeared; the rate of branch shaking decreased; and sometimes intergroup cohesion appeared. Considering that sexual interactions also occurred between the encountering groups, above changes in intergroup behaviors may be explained with a model of the way in which the competition for food (exclusion) and the sexual attractiveness between opposite sexes were in a dynamic equilibrium among the groups, with the former outweighing the latter in the BS, and conversely in the MS. Females made 93% of severe conflicts, which occurred in 18% of close encounters. Groups fissioned in the recent past shared the same home range, and showed the highest hostility to each other by females. In conspicuous contrast with females' great interest in intergroup food/range competition, adult male-male conflicts that were normally without body contact occurred in 66% bf close encounters; high-ranking male herding of females, which is typical in baboons, appeared in 83% of close encounters, and showed no changes with season and sexual weight-dimorphism; peripheral juvenile and subadult males were the main performers of the affinitive behaviors, opportunistic advance and retreat, and guarding at the border. In brief, all males appeared to "sit on the fence" at the border, likely holding out hope of gaining the favor of females both within and outside the group. Thus, females and males attempted to maximize reproductive values in different ways, just as expected by Darwin-Trivers' theory of sexual selection. In addition, group fission was observed in the largest and highest-ranking group for two times (both in the MS) when its size increased to a certain level, and the mother group kept their dominant position in size and rank among the groups that might encounter, suggesting that fission takes a way of discarding the "superfluous part" in order to balance the cost of competition for food and mates within a group, and the benefit of cooperation to access the resources for animals in the mother group.

Responses to seasonal changes in nutrient quality and patchiness of food in a multigroup community of Tibetan macaques at Mt. Emei

Provisioning along pedestrian trails by tourists much increased the nutrient quality and patchiness of food (NqPF)for Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mt Emei in spring and summer. In the habitat at a temperate-subtropical transition zone, the mncaque's NqPF could be ordered in a decreasing rank from spring summer to autumn to winter With the aid of a radio-tracking system, I collected ranging data on a multigroup community in three 70-day periods representing the different seasons in 1991-92, Rank-order correlation on the data show that with the decline of NqPF; the groups tended to increase days away from the trail, their effective range size (ERS) their exclusive area (EA) and the number of days spent in the EA, and reduced their group/community density and the ratio of the overlapped range to the seasonal range (ROR). In icy/snowy winter; the macaques searched for mature leaves slowly and carefully in the largest seasonal range with a considerable portion that was nor used in other seasons. Of the responses, the ROR decreased with the reduction in group/community density; and the ERS was the function of both group size (+) and intergroup rank (-) when favorite food was highly clumped. All above responses were clearly bound to maximize foraging effectiveness and minimize energy expenditure, and their integration in term of changes in time and space leads to better understanding macaque ecological adaptability. Based on this study and previous work on behavioral and physiological factors, I suggest a unifying theory of intergroup interactions. Ir! addition, as the rate of behavioral interactions,was also related to the group density, I Waser's (1976) gas model probably applies to behavioral, as well as spatial, data on intergroup interactions.

恒河猴TRIM5α 的组织分布及TRIMCyp 限制HIV-1 病毒颗粒产生的初步研究

三重基序蛋白TRIM5α(Tripartite motif protein 5 alpha)是哺乳动物细胞中一种重要的限制因子，广泛分布于各种哺乳动物细胞中。人类TRIM5α mRNA 广泛表达于人类各个组织中，并且I 型干扰素IFN-α/β/γ 均能与TRIM5α 基因启动子的ISRE 元件结合，上调TRIM5α mRNA 的表达。恒河猴(Macaca mulatta)TRIM5α 是恒河猴体内重要的限制因子。目前对恒河猴尤其是中国恒河猴TRIM5α 的组织分布以及在受到外界刺激时TRIM5α mRNA 表达量的变化研究还未见报道。本论文通过从中国恒河猴各组织中提取总RNA，以β-actin 基因作为内参照，通过逆转录PCR 检测各组织中TRIM5α mRNA 的表达。我们选择用HIV-GFP-VSVG 感染、用佛波脂(Phorbol myfismte acetate, PMA)+离子霉素(Ionomycin, Ion)，CD28 抗体+CD49d 抗体分别共刺激恒河猴PBMC，研究不同刺激对中国恒河猴TRIM5α mRNA 表达量的影响。研究发现：TRIM5α mRNA 广泛表达于恒河猴各组织中，在免疫系统和泌尿生殖系统各组织，如腹淋巴结、睾丸和附睾中表达量最高，而在神经系统各组织如大脑、脊髓中表达量比较少，在其他各组织中未见明显的表达差异。此外HIV-GFP-VSVG 感染、PMA+ Ion 与CD28 抗体+CD49d 抗体分别共刺激PBMC 均能促进PBMC TRIM5α mRNA 表达量的上调。 TRIM5α 作为恒河猴体内的最主要的限制HIV-1 感染的限制因子，除了可能通过促进HIV-1 的脱壳和阻止整合前复合物PIC(pre-integration complex)入核，恒河猴TRIM5α 还能限制HIV-1 病毒颗粒的产生。在这个过程中B30.2 结构域是非必需的，而B-box2 和Coiled-Coil 结构域起着决定性的作用。因为鹰猴(Aotes trivirgatus)TRIMCyp(omTRIMCyp) 蛋白和北平顶猴(Macaca leouina) TRIMCyp(npmTRIMCyp）蛋白的B-box2 和Coiled-Coil 结构域与恒河猴TRIM5α 的B-box2 和Coiled-Coil 具有很高的同源性，我们希望了解鹰猴TRIMCyp 蛋白和北平顶猴TRIMCyp 蛋白对HIV-1 病毒颗粒的产生是否有限制作用。本论文主要通过将质粒pNL4.3 分别与质粒pLPCX 、pLPCX-npmTRIMCyp-HA 、 pLPCX-omTRIMCyp-HA和pLPCX-rhTRIM5α-HA共转染293T细胞，通过western blot 检测细胞内Gag 蛋白和TRIM5 蛋白的表达情况，研究omTRIMCyp 蛋白和 npmTRIMCyp 蛋白对HIV-1 病毒颗粒产生的限制作用。结果表明：北平顶猴 TRIMCyp 蛋白、鹰猴TRIMCyp 蛋白都能不同程度的促进HIV-1 病毒Gag 蛋白的降解。

猕猴胚胎干细胞无饲养层培养体系的建立

与啮齿类动物相比，猕猴（Macaca mulatta）在遗传和生理上与人类更接近， 因此猕猴胚胎干细胞具有重要的研究价值，不仅是研究发育生物学基础理论的良 好材料，而且可为细胞替代性治疗提供很好的同种异体移植模型。猕猴胚胎干细 胞常规培养于小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞（mouse embryonic fibroblast, MEF）上，这极 大地限制了对猕猴胚胎干细胞的研究和应用，因此，需要建立猕猴胚胎干细胞的 无饲养层培养体系。 本文以猕猴胚胎干细胞系IVF3.2（本实验室自主分离建系，来源于猕猴体 外受精胚胎）为研究对象，研究了在以Matrigel (growth factor reduced, BD)作为 胞外基质，以MEF 条件培养基为培养基，以trypsin 消化传代的无饲养层培养体 系中，猕猴胚胎干细胞的生长及分化能力，并比较了猕猴胚胎干细胞IVF3.2 在 无饲养层和有饲养层两种不同培养条件下的细胞周期分布及冻存复苏效率。主要 结论如下：1）经过鉴定，在本研究建立的无饲养层培养体系中，猕猴胚胎干细 胞IVF3.2 能够保持胚胎干细胞的两个基本特征，即分化的多能性和自我更新的 无限增殖能力；2）两种培养体系下的IVF3.2 的细胞周期分布没有显著差异，均 具有胚胎干细胞独特的细胞周期结构之一，即大部分细胞处于S 期（>50%的细 胞）；3）无饲养层培养的IVF3.2 冻存后能高效复苏，采用常规慢速冷冻法冻存 无饲养层培养的IVF3.2，复苏后的细胞存活率高达83%，明显高于常规培养的 IVF3.2 的冻存效率。

峨眉山藏猕猴部分雄-婴社会行为的补充观察

藏猕猴（Macaca thibetana）雄-婴行为补充数据收集于整个出生季节和交配季节初期(1997年1-9月)。针对两个猴群中的8个婴猴，1分钟点取样和5分钟事件取样法分别用来收集照料行为（怀抱+接近）、阴部探查和雄-婴-雄三边作用（triad）。婴猴4.5-18周龄受到群内成年雄性的照料，20周龄内有7.9%时间受到成年雄猴照料(雄婴：9.57%对雌：5.56%)；照料在行为者和接受者之间分布均无差异的结果倾向于支持生态环境决定说。婴猴3.9-14.6周龄接受成年雄性阴部探查，20周龄内雄性婴儿接受的探查频率高于雌性婴儿（0.92次/小时对0.03次/小时），探查在行为者和接受者之间的分布均有差异。探查比照料开始早且持续期短，可能是成年雄性对婴儿的识别和接受。照料婴猴多的成年雄性在triad中使用婴猴也多；雄性婴儿接受照料多，在triad中被使用也多；此结果支持“Triad是雄-婴照料的副产物”假说。

环境、单胺类神经递质系统对脑的某些高级认知功能的影响

一些特殊的环境因素如：丰富环境、应激等能够对脑的某些高级认知功能产生广泛的影响。单胺类神经递质系统对脑的高级认知功能也起着重要的作用。我们在前人的工作基础上，通过实验进一步探讨了丰富环境、束缚应激及社会等级与抑郁症、焦虑症的关系，以及去甲肾上腺素β 受体系统与吗啡诱导的条件化环境线索记忆的获得和提取之间的关系。我们首先假设在未成年小鼠每天接受束缚应激刺激之后饲养于丰富环境中可能也会减轻小鼠慢性束缚应激导致的焦虑样或抑郁样的行为。经过14 天和28 天两个周期的环境处理，结合每天4 小时和8 小时的束缚应激和每天16 小时的丰富环境饲养，利用动物行为学方法检测小鼠焦虑样或抑郁样的行为。实验结果表明：（1）慢性束缚应激抑制了未成年小鼠体重的增加，丰富环境可能也是抑制体重增加的因素之一；（2）在强迫游泳测试中，慢性束缚应激可减轻未成年小鼠抑郁样的行为，但是丰富环境能够抑制束缚应激引起的未成年小鼠抑郁样的行为的降低，即丰富环境加重了其抑郁样的行为；（3）在黑白箱测试中，丰富环境能够提高未成年小鼠自发探索活动能力，但是对束缚应激引起焦虑样行为的降低没有影响。我们的第二个实验假设高等非人灵长类动物猕猴（Macaca mulatta）天然的社会等级关系产生的抑郁样的个体能够更好的模拟人类社群中自然形成的抑郁症的发病与病征，因此可能成为研究人群中自然状态下产生的抑郁症潜在的更为有效的实验动物模型。我们对几个猕猴群体的不同结构组成（性别、年龄、数量等）进行观察分析，首先筛选出抑郁样的猕猴个体，进而探讨在不同结构组成的猕猴群体中产生抑郁样个体的情况。结果表明：（1）社会等级地位高低与猕猴抑郁发病密切相关即最低地位的个体产生抑郁样个体的可能性最大；（2）猕猴群体密度增加，产生抑郁样个体的几率有增高的趋势；（3）在猕猴群体中产生雌性抑郁样个体几率有高于雄性的趋势；（4）抑郁样个体的产生可能与猕猴的年龄、群体性别构成等因素相关性不高。根据以往的研究发现阻断肾上腺素β受体干预环境条件化线索相关记忆的再巩固能够加快成瘾记忆的消退，却很少涉及β受体对这种记忆的获得和提取的影响。因此，我们利用小鼠吗啡诱导的条件化位置偏好模型和药理学方法探讨了β受体拮抗剂心得安对吗啡相关的环境条件化记忆的获得和提取的影响。实验结果表明：β受体不参与吗啡诱导环境线索记忆的获得，但可能加强记忆的提取，提示激活β受体可能加快对吗啡依赖条件化环境线索相关记忆的消退。

四种海洋生物的化学成分及其生物活性研究

从海洋动植物中寻找和筛选具有药用价值的活性先导化合物是海洋药物研发极为重要的理论基础研究。基于中国东南热带和亚热带沿海海域丰富的生物资源，本工作以化学分析和生物活性筛选为导向，以黄海海域习见的绿藻束生刚毛藻、南海三亚附近海域的圆裂短足软珊瑚、海绵Pseudoceratina sp.及广西沿海滩涂的盐生植物海刀豆四种海洋生物为样品，应用现代分析和检测手段对其次生代谢产物及其生物活性进行较系统的研究。 综合利用现代色谱手段和波谱技术，从上述目标生物样品中共分离并结构鉴定化合物74个，其中新化合物10个，新天然产物1个，这一新发现原则性结果，属国内外首次报道。1.对黄海海域束生刚毛藻C. fascicularis的化学成分及其生物活性进行了首次研究，从中得到叶绿素类新化合物Porphyrinolactone 1和新天然产物 20-Chlor-(132-S)-hydroxyphaeophytin a 2，在避光条件下对叶绿素类化合物进行体外NF-κB活性抑制筛选实验, 结果表明化合物1-6对NF-κB都有显著的抑制活性；对叶绿素类化合物首次进行体外蛋白酶体ChT-L的抑制活性实验筛选,化合物2和4对蛋白酶体ChT-L表现出显著的抑制活性，在浓度为50μM时，抑制率分别为70%和73.5%，并对其立体构型和生物活性的构效关系进行探讨；首次从该属得到环阿尔廷三萜类化合物7—12；对所得化合物7—15在浓度为1μg/mL时对肿瘤细胞部分靶蛋白酶的抑制活性测定结果表明，这些化合物对不同的靶蛋白酶表现出较强的抑制活性。2. 从南海圆裂短足软珊瑚中发现孕甾及其糖苷类新化合物22—27。3. 南海海绵Pseudoceratina sp.中发现溴代酪氨酸生物碱类新化合物41—42，组胺酸生物碱类新化合物43，并对其生源关系进行探讨。4. 首次对海刀豆C. maritime的化学成分进行研究，发现紫檀素类化合物61—63，异黄酮4个64—67；对该类化合物61—67首次进行NF-κB和蛋白酶体ChT-L的抑制活性筛选，其中化合物63表现出较强的NF-κB的抑制活性。

藻体对水环境中N、P及重金属Cu2+、Pb2+、Cd2+、Cr6+的吸附特征研究

随着全球生态环境的恶化，各国日益重视对水体中各种污染物的治理。利用藻类的吸收、富集和降解作用，可以去除污水中的营养物质、重金属离子和有机污染物，与其他物理、化学及工程的方法相比，该技术具有以下优点：成本低、能耗小、治理效果较好，对环境污染小，有利于资源化，有利于整体生态环境的改善，是治理水质污染的新途径。 本文利用几种大型海藻对富营养化海水进行处理，结果发现孔石莼、刚毛藻均有很强的吸收N、P的能力，吸收能力依次为褶曲刚毛藻>束生刚毛藻>孔石莼。水体中褶曲刚毛藻3 g/L含量，在3～5小时之内，可把中等以上富营养化海水中的N、P降低至一类海水水平。利用刚毛藻处理富营养化地下海水和养殖废水，进行海参和大菱鲆养殖试验，探索藻类净化水质和废水循环利用的新模式，使水体保持较低的营养盐状态，减轻养殖废水对环境的影响，实现了海水养殖业与环境的可持续发展。 刚毛藻在我国近海滩涂分布广泛，利用它来处理富营养化水体，并和水产养殖业相结合，既净化水体，使养殖废水能循环利用，满足水产养殖的需求，又改善水产业生态环境。同时，将回收藻体生产优质饲料、食品和药物等，实现藻类资源的高值利用。刚毛藻营养丰富，用其替代鼠尾藻作海参饲料，资源丰富，成本低，效果好，是一种值得加以开发利用的宝贵资源，具有广泛的应用前景。 生物吸附法是一种经济有效的移除废水中有害重金属离子的方法。由于藻类细胞壁中的多聚糖可提供吸附重金属的位点，廉价而蕴藏丰富的海藻对多种重金属表现出很强的吸附能力。所以本文通过分批实验，研究了非活体刚毛藻对水体中重金属Cu2+、Pb2+和Cd2+的吸附影响因子、吸附热力学、吸附动力学及吸附机理，得到了平衡等温线及动力学数据。吸附过程的最佳pH值为5.0，吸附量随温度的升高而增加，水体中常见的Na+、K+、Ca2+、Mg2+阳离子及Cl-、NO3-、SO42-、C2O42-等阴离子的存在对吸附的影响并不显著。EDTA存在时，吸附百分率大大降低。吸附等温线符合Langmuir和Freundlich方程。刚毛藻对重金属Cu2+、Pb2+和Cd2+的吸附容量很高，25℃时，对Cu2+、Pb2+和Cd2+的最大吸附容量分别为1.61 mmol/g、0.96 mmol/g和0.98 mmol/g，且吸附过程为吸热反应。刚毛藻对重金属Cu2+、Pb2+和Cd2+的吸附过程为化学吸附，在吸附过程中藻体表面的官能团可能与金属离子发生了螯合作用。吸附动力学过程符合pseudo-二级动力学模型，在初始的30min内，吸附速率很快，随后速率逐渐降低。解吸试验表明，用EDTA可以对重金属进行回收，刚毛藻可以循环利用。实验结果表明刚毛藻是一种高效、经济实用的生物吸附材料，可用来吸附回收水体中的重金属Cu2+、Pb2+和Cd2+等。 通过非活体刚毛藻对重金属Cr6+的吸附影响因子、吸附动力学、吸附机理的研究发现，刚毛藻对Cr6+具有很强的还原能力，对电镀废水中的Cr6+的还原去除提供了非常好的方法。吸附过程的最佳pH值为2～3，实际电镀废水通常在此pH范围，因此处理实际废水时，首先在原酸性条件下，对Cr6+进行还原去除，然后调废水pH至5.0，继续进行吸附，去除其他二价离子及被还原的三价Cr离子，实现了利用同一材料还原Cr6+为Cr3+，并将Cr3+和其他重金属离子同时去除。通过对机理的讨论，认为刚毛藻对Cr6+的生物吸附过程不是一个简单的“离子交换过程”，而是一个“吸附还原过程”。在海藻量足够的前提下，只要时间足够长，Cr6+可被彻底还原去除。 利用工业废弃物褐藻渣，对水体中重金属离子Cu2+、Pb2+、Cd2+及Cr6+的生物吸附特性分别进行了讨论，结果表明褐藻渣对重金属离子的吸附特性与刚毛藻一致，吸附等温线符合Langmuir和Freundlich方程，在25℃时，pH为5.0时，由Langmuir方程求出褐藻渣对Cu2+、Pb2+和Cd2+的最大吸附容量分别为4.20 mmol/g、3.13 mmol/g和2.97 mmol/g。褐藻渣对低、高浓度的重金属Cr6+都具有很强的吸附能力，且移除效果比较彻底。实际应用结果表明，褐藻渣是一种高效、经济实用的生物吸附材料，可用来吸附回收水体中的重金属离子，具有广泛的应用前景。

R5 clade C SHIV strains with tier 1 or 2 neutralization sensitivity: tools to dissect env evolution and to develop AIDS vaccines in primate models.

BACKGROUND: HIV-1 clade C (HIV-C) predominates worldwide, and anti-HIV-C vaccines are urgently needed. Neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses are considered important but have proved difficult to elicit. Although some current immunogens elicit antibodies that neutralize highly neutralization-sensitive (tier 1) HIV strains, most circulating HIVs exhibiting a less sensitive (tier 2) phenotype are not neutralized. Thus, both tier 1 and 2 viruses are needed for vaccine discovery in nonhuman primate models. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We constructed a tier 1 simian-human immunodeficiency virus, SHIV-1157ipEL, by inserting an "early," recently transmitted HIV-C env into the SHIV-1157ipd3N4 backbone [1] encoding a "late" form of the same env, which had evolved in a SHIV-infected rhesus monkey (RM) with AIDS. SHIV-1157ipEL was rapidly passaged to yield SHIV-1157ipEL-p, which remained exclusively R5-tropic and had a tier 1 phenotype, in contrast to "late" SHIV-1157ipd3N4 (tier 2). After 5 weekly low-dose intrarectal exposures, SHIV-1157ipEL-p systemically infected 16 out of 17 RM with high peak viral RNA loads and depleted gut CD4+ T cells. SHIV-1157ipEL-p and SHIV-1157ipd3N4 env genes diverge mostly in V1/V2. Molecular modeling revealed a possible mechanism for the increased neutralization resistance of SHIV-1157ipd3N4 Env: V2 loops hindering access to the CD4 binding site, shown experimentally with nAb b12. Similar mutations have been linked to decreased neutralization sensitivity in HIV-C strains isolated from humans over time, indicating parallel HIV-C Env evolution in humans and RM. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: SHIV-1157ipEL-p, the first tier 1 R5 clade C SHIV, and SHIV-1157ipd3N4, its tier 2 counterpart, represent biologically relevant tools for anti-HIV-C vaccine development in primates.
