Synthesis and Antileukemic Activity of Novel 2-(4-(2,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)phenoxy)-1-(4-(3-(piperidin-4-yl)propyl)piper idin-1-yl)ethanone Derivatives

A series of novel 2-(4-(2,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)phenoxy)-1-(4-(3-(piperidin-4-yl)propyl) piperidin-1-yl)ethanone derivatives 9(ae) and 10(ag) were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, IR, mass spectral, and elemental analysis. These novel compounds were evaluated for their antileukemic activity against two human leukemic cell lines (K562 and CEM) by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide assay. Some of the tested compounds showed good antiproliferative activity with IC50 values ranging from 1.6 to 8.0 mu m. Compound 9c, 9e, and 10f with an electron-withdrawing halogen substituent at the para position on the phenyl ring showed excellent in vitro potency against tested human leukemia cells (K562 and CEM).

Étude du crabe rouge profond Geryon quinquedens en Côte d'Ivoire. 1 - Prospection le long du talus continental: résultats des pêches

From Aug 1975 to Jan 1976 a fishing survey for deep-sea red crab Geryon quinquedens was executed along the Ivorian coast between 3{degree} and 7{degree}30'W. Three regions could be distinguished: a central one with poor catches (1.6 kg/trap/20h); an east region with the best catches (5 kg/trap/20h); and a west region, also with good catches (4.5 kg/trap/20h). For the whole survey, catches only took place between 300 and 700m, the best at 400 m. A distinct sexual segregation was observed according to bathymetry with the percentage of males increasing with depth. Nearly the same abundance was observed in Côte d'Ivoire, in Congo and North Angola, while in South Angola catches are somewhat higher.

冲绳海槽北部PC-1岩芯24 cal.kaBP 以来孢粉记录的古环境信息

东海陆架是世界上最宽阔的陆架之一，面积达770 000 km2左右。在末次冰盛期（LGM），东海海平面下降120～130 m左右，绝大部分陆架暴露出海面。而冲绳海槽是第四纪以来一直保持海洋环境的东海深海区。本文以冲绳海槽北部PC-1岩芯为材料，通过分析该孔的孢粉，加上详细的AMS 14C测年，恢复了周边地区24 cal.kaBP以来的古植被，并推测古环境和古气候变化，重点讨论了LGM时期出露大陆架上发育的植被。 PC-1孔（31°27.5′N，128°24.8′E）位于黑潮支流对马暖流东侧，水深590 m，柱长812 cm。孢粉分析按间隔8 cm取样，个别为4~6 cm，共分析了103个孢粉样品。利用9个AMS 14C数据建立年龄标尺，用Calib5.1.0软件进行年龄校正。通过相邻样品深度的线性内插获得每个样品的年龄，采用外延法得到顶部和底部的校正年龄分别为351cal aBP、24 280 cal aBP，孢粉样品的时间分辨率平均为230 a。 根据孢粉百分比和沉积率的变化，可划分出四个带：Ⅰ带（812～715 cm，24.2～21.1 cal. kaBP）、Ⅱ带（715～451 cm，21.1～15.2 cal. kaBP）、Ⅲ带（451～251 cm，15.2～10.8 cal. kaBP）、Ⅳ带（251～0 cm，10.8～0.3 cal. kaBP），分别对应MIS 3末期、末次冰盛期、冰消期和全新世。末次冰盛期草本植物花粉占优势，孢粉沉积率较高，此时草本花粉主要来源于出露的大陆架，其上发育了以蒿属为主的草地植被，气候比较寒冷干燥；冰消期海平面开始回升，松属花粉含量升高，草本植物花粉含量下降；全新世以木本植物花粉占绝对优势，栗属－栲属花粉迅速增加，蕨类孢子含量升高，草本植物花粉含量锐减，孢粉沉积率降低，由于海平面回升，大陆架被淹没，此时孢粉主要来源于日本岛，九州地区生长了以栲属、栎属为主的常绿阔叶与落叶阔叶林，气候温暖湿润。 叶枝杉属花粉在整个岩芯中零星出现。叶枝杉属植物分布于菲律宾吕宋北部至塔斯马尼亚和新西兰气候潮湿的山地林中，该属花粉在岩芯中的出现，可能暗示了黑潮的影响或者是较强的夏季风。 草本植物与松属花粉百分比变化很好的反映了海平面的升降，松属花粉含量较高指示海平面较高。对岩芯中主要类型的花粉百分比进行了频谱分析，显示存在千年尺度的准周期变化，有明显的6.8，3.8，2.2，1.6 ka的周期。 孢粉样品中的炭屑统计表明，末次冰消期炭屑含量最高，可能因为末次冰消期降雨量增加，炭屑可被降水带到沉积地点沉积下来；全新世的炭屑浓度较高，尤其在晚全新世，出现了一个峰值，究其原因可能与气候变化和人类活动有关。

桃不同组织中的葡萄糖/果糖比值特点及己糖代谢

以不同葡萄糖/果糖（G/F）类型的桃品种（正常G/F 品种：‘燕红’、‘冈山白’和‘山一白桃’；高G/F 品种：‘龙124’、‘龙246’、‘张黄7 号’和‘临白7 号’）为试材，测定果实发育期果实、叶片、韧皮部和木质部中糖和淀粉含量，并分别在果实第一迅速生长期、硬核期和成熟期测定了‘燕红’、‘山一白桃’、‘龙124’、‘龙 246’和‘临白7号’果实和叶片中己糖相关酶。研究不同G/F类型桃品种产生G/F差异的组织器官和时期，并且分析相关代谢酶调控机理。 两类不同G/F 桃果实中均以蔗糖作为主要碳水化合物积累形式，花后70 d前蔗糖含量很低，随后快速积累直至果实成熟；山梨醇含量较为稳定，高G/F品种‘龙124’两年间在未成熟果实中山梨醇含量高于正常 G/F品种；葡萄糖和果糖含量在果实第一迅速生长期积累，之后逐渐降低。高 G/F 品种‘龙124’和‘临白7号’成熟果实中葡萄糖含量高于‘龙246’和正常 G/F 品种。正常G/F品种果实、叶片、韧皮部和木质部中葡萄糖和果糖含量基本相等，G/F基本保持在0.7-1.5。高G/F品种果实、叶片中葡萄糖显著高于果糖，果实中G/F在1.6-8.8，叶片中G/F在果实未成熟时为2.5-9.3，在果实成熟期为14.5-21.3。然而韧皮部和木质部中葡萄糖略高于果糖或基本相等，但较正常G/F品种高。因此，光合产物在韧皮部的运输对桃果实的G/F 没有显著影响。 在第一迅速生长期和成熟期时，所有供试桃品种果实和叶片中合成己糖的NAD+-SDH 和 SOX较为活跃，而分解己糖的FRK、GLK和PGI则保持在较低水平；在果核硬化期则相反，果实和叶片中合成己糖的NAD+-SDH 和 SOX活性较低，而分解己糖的FRK、GLK和PGI则较为活跃。高G/F品种‘龙124’和‘龙246’在果核硬化期果实中的FRK、NADP+-SDH 和GLK活性显著高于正常G/F品种，而高G/F品种‘临白7号’则与正常G/F品种没有明显差异。可见，高G/F品种间己糖代谢调控机制也有所差异。此外，叶片中两种G/F类型间的己糖代谢相关酶差异并无明显规律，由此我们认为叶片存在与果实类似但相对独立的调控机制。

TYR 基因外显子1 的序列变异与家猪的起源研究

为了分析家猪与野猪的遗传多样性及起源, 测定了来自12 个中国地方家猪品种、3 个欧洲引进猪品种以 及8 个中国野猪和2 个越南野猪共36 个个体的酪氨酸酶基因( T YR) 外显子1 的序列,共检出6 个单核苷酸多态性 位点(SNPs) ,且这6 个位点的变异均为同义突变,根据这些变异可将酪氨酸酶基因DNA 序列归结为4 种单倍型。 结合已发表的数据,构建了简约中介网络图。在网络图中,单倍型T YR 3 2 主要为欧洲家猪与欧洲野猪和3 条亚洲 家猪染色体。大部分亚洲家猪和野猪共享单倍型T YR 3 1 ,表明这是1 个亚洲类型的单倍型;同时也有部分欧洲家 猪与野猪携带这一单倍型。而单倍型T YR 3 3 和T YR 3 4 为本研究检测到的稀有单倍型,这两种单倍型主要由中 国家猪与亚洲野猪组成。这种网络图结构支持家猪的欧洲和亚洲独立起源学说,同时也表明,相当部分的欧洲家 猪品种受到亚洲猪的基因渗透,而少量中国家猪和日本野猪也受到了欧洲猪的基因渗透。

树突状细胞与 HIV-1 辅助蛋白相互作用的体外研究——细胞系模型研究价值的验证和新的研究方向的确立

树突状细胞（Dendritic cells，DCs）作为人类免疫缺陷病毒（Human Immunodeficiency Virus，HIV）感染的第一靶细胞和第一道防线， 在HIV-1感染 和传播过程当中发挥重要的功能。DC的免疫功能主要包括抗原的捕获、加工、 递呈并激活T细胞对HIV-1作出免疫反应，这些功能的发挥依赖于其自身接受刺 激有效地分化和成熟。 与其它慢病毒（lentivirus）相同，HIV-1所具有的6种辅助蛋白（Nef，Rev， Tat，Vif，Vpr和Vpu），决定着病毒自身的复制增殖和对机体的感染和致病力。 目前，HIV-1辅助蛋白对CD4+ T细胞影响的研究较为深入，是否影响和调节DC 的分化和成熟尚不够清楚，现有的文献报道很少，且相互不一致甚至矛盾。因此， 建立合适的体外研究体系和细胞模型，有针对性地进行研究DC与HIV-1之间的相 互作用，将有助于加深对HIV/AIDS致病和发病机理的理解，具有重要的生物医 学意义。 本实验选择了可被HIV-1感染的白血病细胞系THP-1为实验模型，首先评价 了THP-1作为DC前体在研究DC分化、成熟中的可用性，特别是判定DC分化成熟 和功能状态的主要细胞表面标记的动态变化和规律。进而在相同条件下分析了6 个辅助蛋白基因对THP-1的凋亡诱导作用，证实了Nef和Tat确可诱导转染细胞自 身凋亡，而Rev和Vpr可在THP-1细胞中持续表达，形成了稳定的细胞系，为进一 步研究和比较Rev、Vpr对DC的分化、成熟的影响奠定了实验基础。更重要的是， 我们发现，Vif和Vpu不能在THP-1中有效表达，其原因可能直接与限制性因子 APOBEC3G的存在有关，提示Vpu与APOBEC3G可能存在着新的相互作用——这 一线索已作为实验室新的研究方向，进一步深入的研究可能为HIV/AIDS致病、 发病机理和机体的抗病机制提供新的科学依据。

Energy transfer and enhanced 1.54 μm emission in Erbium-Ytterbium disilicate thin films.

α-(Yb1-xErx)2Si2O7 thin films on Si substrates were synthesized by magnetron co-sputtering. The optical emission from Er3+ ions has been extensively investigated, evidencing the very efficient role of Yb-Er coupling. The energy-transfer coefficient was evaluated for an extended range of Er content (between 0.2 and 16.5 at.%) reaching a maximum value of 2 × 10⁻¹⁶ cm⁻³s⁻¹. The highest photoluminescence emission at 1535 nm is obtained as a result of the best compromise between the number of Yb donors (16.4 at.%) and Er acceptors (1.6 at.%), for which a high population of the first excited state is reached. These results are very promising for the realization of 1.54 μm optical amplifiers on a Si platform.

Narrow line-width resonant cavity enhanced photodetectors operating at 1.55 mu m

A method for fabrication of long-wavelength narrow line-width InGaAs resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetectors in a silicon substrate operating at the wavelength range of 1.3-1.6 mu m has been developed. A full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.7 nm and a peak responsivity of 0. 16 A/W at the resonance wavelength of 1.55 mu m have been accomplished by using a thick InP layer as part of the resonant cavity. The effects of roughness and tilt of the InP layer surface, and its free carrier absorption, as well as the thickness deviation of the mirror pair on the resonance wavelength shift and the peak quantum efficiency of the RCE photodetectors are analyzed in detail, and approaches for minimizing them toward superior performance are suggested.

Thermal entanglement in spin-1 biparticle system

The thermal entanglement in a two-qubit Spin-1 system with two spins coupled by exchange interaction is investigated in terms of the measure of entanglement called "negativity". It is found that the thermal entanglement exists and is symmetric for both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange couplings. Moreover, the critical temperature at which the negativity vanishes increases with the exchange coupling constant J. From the temperature and magnetic field dependences we demonstrate that the temperature and the magnetic field can affect the feature of the thermal entanglement significantly. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
