Postnatal development of the retina in root vole Microtus oeconomus

Vision plays an important role in the living habits of animals, especially in feeding. We investigated the postnatal development of retina in root vole Microtus oeconornus. The result shows that the retina of the M. oeconornus is very primitive before postnatal day （PD） 3. The neuroblastic layer does not differentiate and makes up more than half of the retina layer. The outer plexiform layer （OPL） first comes into existence at PDS. At PD6, as the presence of the OPL becomes obvious, the outer nuclear layer （ONL） and inner nuclear layer （INL） are much clearer. At PD18, the retina is similar to an adult retina and each layer becomes distinct. The thickness and cell density of the ganglion cell layer （GCL） and ONL during different postnatal days were also examined. These results show that the thickness and density of ONL increase during ontogeny, while the thickness and density of GCL decrease. Compared with Rattus norvegicus, Apodemus agrarius , Cricetulus triton, Microtus mandarinus , Myospalax cansus , Spermophilus dauricus and Sciurotamias davidianus, the histological structure of the retina of M. oeconornus is between that of nocturnal and diurnal rodents.

HPLC法测定麻黄及其两种制剂中麻黄碱的含量

麻黄为常用中药,其中含有多种有机胺类生物碱,主要成分为L-麻黄碱、D-麻黄碱,具有松弛平滑肌、收缩血管、抗炎、兴奋中枢等作用[1],但如果用量过大或长期使用,会产生震颤、焦虑失眠、心悸等副作用,其含量常作为评价药材品质及其复方制剂质量标准的主要指标[2].麻杏石甘丸和鹏力止鼾颗粒均是以麻黄为主要原料的复方制剂,因此对其进行含量测定是控制麻杏石甘丸和鹏力止鼾颗粒质量的关键.目前国内外学者对麻黄中麻黄碱含量的测定报道较多[3,4],本文采用HPLC法测定其中的麻黄碱含量,现将结果报道如下。

LC determination of amino acids in rat plasma with fluorescence detection: Application to exercise physiology

An LC method for the determination of 20 amino acids (AAs), using 1,2-Benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-ethyl chloroformate (BCEOC) as fluorescent labeling reagent, has been validated and applied for the analysis of AAs in rat plasma at three different states concerning exercise physiology. Identification of AA derivatives was carried out by LC-MS with electrospray ion (ESI), and the MS-MS cleavage mode of the representative tyrosine (Tyr) derivative was analyzed. Gradient elution on a Hypersil BDS C-18 column gave good separation of the derivatives. Excellent linear responses were observed and good compositional data could be obtained from as little as 50-200 mu L of plasma samples. The contents of 20 AAs in rat plasma of three groups (24 rats, group A: quiet state, group B: at exercising exhaust, group C: 12 h after exercising exhaust) exhibited evident difference corresponding to the physiological states. Facile BCEOC derivatization coupled with LC-FLD-ESI-MS analysis allowed the development of a highly sensitive method for the quantitative analysis of trace level of AAs from plasma or other biochemical samples.

Seasonal thermogenesis and body mass regulation in plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae)

Changes in photoperiod, ambient temperature and food availability trigger seasonal acclimatization in physiology and behavior of many animals. In the present study, seasonal adjustments in body mass and in several physiological, hormonal, and biochemical markers were examined in wild-captured plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) from the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. Our results showed that plateau pikas maintained a relatively constant body mass throughout the year and showed no seasonal changes in body fat mass and circulating levels of serum leptin. However, nonshivering thermogenesis, cytochrome c oxidase activity, and mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) contents in brown adipose tissues were significantly enhanced in winter. Further, serum leptin levels were positively correlated with body mass and body fat mass while negatively correlated with UCP1 contents. Together, these data suggest that plateau pikas mainly depend on increasing thermogenic capacities, rather than decreasing body mass, to cope with cold, and leptin may play a potential role in their thermogenesis and body mass regulation.

固溶体矿物的性质对计算河南西峡红柱石矿形成条件的影响

自然界的大多数造岩矿物是由两种或多种组分混合而成的固溶体。因此，在矿物、岩石和矿床等地质体的平衡热力学研究中不可避免地要涉及固溶体矿物热力学行为的问题。河南省西峡县杨乃沟红柱石矿泥质片岩中仅出现红柱石而没有蓝晶石和夕线石，红柱石矿物包裹体测温结果为+’! / (!!0。通过矿物共生平衡!"# 曲线所计算出的片岩形成温度和压力条件也应位于上述岩石学和岩相学等特征所限定的范围内。以此为基础，通过构筑矿物共生!"# 平衡曲线的方法，对片岩中若干固溶体矿物理想性1 非理想性问题进行了研究。其中斜长石必须以非理想固溶体处理，而石榴子石、黑云母和白云母视作理想固溶体的计算结果同片岩的岩石学和岩相学等特征相一致。

Adaptabilidade e estabilidade de cultivares de milho no Meio-Norte brasileiro, na safra 2007/2008.

Durante a safra de 2007/2008, no Meio-Norte brasileiro, foram executados ensaios de milho em blocos casualizados com três repetições para a avaliação de 42 cultivares de milho (16 variedades e 26 híbridos), objetivando conhecer a adaptabilidade e a estabilidade desses materiais para fins de recomendação. Detectaram-se, nas análises de variância conjuntas, diferenças entre as cultivares e inconsistência no comportamento nos diferentes ambientes, no que se refere à produtividade de grãos. Os híbridos apresentaram, em média, produtividade de grãos (7.382 kg ha-1) 19,0 % maior que as variedades. Entre os híbridos de melhor adaptação, os que evidenciaram adaptabilidade ampla consolidaram-se como alternativas importantes para a agricultura regional, destacando-se, entre eles, os híbridos SHS 4070 e AG 7088. As variedades que revelaram adaptabilidade ampla, a exemplo das variedades BRS Caimbé e AL 25, entre outras, têm importância fundamental nos sistemas de produção dos agricultores familiares da região.
