两种长臂猿染色体的C带和Ag-NORs的比较研究

白眉长臂猿和白颊长臂猿的染色体C带核型中除多数染色体有着丝点C带外,一些染色体上还出现插入C带和着丝点C带弱化或减少现象;白眉长臂猿有全异染色质臂;白颊长臂猿有较多的端位C带。白眉长臂猿有两个Ag-NORs,而白颊长臂猿的Ag-NORs雌体有4个,雄体有5个,Y染色体上有NOR。

Effects of aniracetam on extracellular levels of transmitter amino acids in the hippocampus of the conscious gerbils: an intracranial microdialysis study

The effects of aniracetam on extracellular amino acid levels in the hippocampus of conscious gerbils, with or without transient cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, were measured by microdialysis and reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography. Increased extracellular levels of aspartate and glutamate that were observed in the hippocampus of conscious gerbils during transient global forebrain ischemia were reversed by aniracetam. In contrast, the level of extracellular gamma-aminobutyric acid was increased, while taurine was maintained at a higher level than other amino acids by administration of aniracetam (100 mg/kg, p.o.) 60 min before ischemia. Further, in contrast to ischemic animals, administration of aniracetam (100 mg/kg, p.o.) enhanced the release of glutamate and aspartate in the normal gerbil hippocampus. The results suggest that these effects might be due to a partial calcium agonist activity of aniracetam, and that the effects of aniracetam on amino acid levels might be a mechanism of protection against delayed neuronal death in the ischemic hippocampus, thereby improving memory dysfunction induced by ischemia/reperfusion.

菖蒲对不同程度富营养化水体的适应性研究

对5种不同程度富营养化水体中的菖蒲(Acorus calamusL.)在静态培养过程中的叶片长度变化、叶片数目变化进行了观测,比较了培养后各水体中菖蒲根长、根数、鲜重、根活力、叶绿素含量、叶片可溶性总糖含量、鲜重增量和根系活力的差异。研究发现,菖蒲在5种不同程度富营养化水体中均能正常生长。在非极度富营养化的水体组中,水体富营养化程度越高,菖蒲生长越好。但在极度富营养水体中,菖蒲根系生长受到抑制,其根短且须根多,且叶片生长对此水体有一段适应期,试验前8 d,其中菖蒲叶片长度增长明显小于重度富营养,8 d后,

The vibrations of bubbles and balloons

Bubbles and balloons are two examples of structures that feature a pressure difference across the skin, a thin, tensioned membrane, and a doubly curved interface surface. While mathematical models have been formulated for bubble vibrations, no such model exists for balloon vibrations. This paper reviews a model of bubble vibrations, and compares its predicted natural frequencies and modeshapes to those of a rubber balloon. It is shown that the bubble model consistently underpredicts the balloon's natural frequencies, and it is concluded that the nonlinear elasticity present in the balloon skin accounts for this result.
