Perfil dos peptídeos gastrointestinais na obesidade programada pelo desmame precoce e após a terapia anti-obesidade com cálcio

O desmame precoce (DP) leva ao desenvolvimento tardio de obesidade e de resistência insulínica (RI), sendo essas alterações prevenidas quando os animais são suplementados com cálcio. Sabe-se que os peptídeos gastrointestinais (GI) atuam na regulação do apetite e em diversos outros processos, podendo ter um papel relevante no desenvolvimento da obesidade e RI. Uma vez que os animais programados pelo DP são obesos e hiperfágicos, investigamos o perfil plasmático e tecidual de GLP-1, CCK e PYY (anorexígenos) de grelina (orexígena) e de seus receptores, assim como o efeito da dieta rica em cálcio sobre estes peptídeos a fim de identificar algum distúrbio no controle do apetite. Ao nascimento das proles, ratas lactantes Wistar foram separadas em: grupo DP (desmame precoce, n=20), filhotes cujas mães tiveram as mamas enfaixadas, impedindo o acesso da prole ao leite nos últimos 3 dias de lactação; e grupo C (controle, n=10), filhotes com livre acesso ao leite materno. Aos 120 dias, as proles DP foram subdivididas em: grupo DP, alimentado com ração comercial padrão, e grupo DPCa, alimentado com ração suplementada com cálcio (10g de carbonato de cálcio/Kg de ração). Os animais foram sacrificados aos 21 e 180 dias de vida. Quantificamos: GLP-1, CCK, PYY, grelina e citocinas (IL-6, TNF-α e IL-10) plasmáticas por ELISA; o conteúdo de grelina no estômago por ELISA e imunohistoquímica; o conteúdo de GLP-1 (intestino), GLP1-R (intestino, TA e ARC) e GHSR-1a (estômago e ARC) por Western blotting. Dados significativos quando p<0,05. Aos 21 dias, a prole DP apresentou aumento de GLP-1 no plasma (+168%) e GLP1-R no tecido adiposo (+72%), embora menor conteúdo de GLP-1 (-59%) e GLP1-R (-58%) no intestino. Não observamos alterações plasmáticas de grelina, CCK e PPY e no conteúdo de GHSR-1a no estômago aos 21 dias. Aos 180 dias, não verificamos diferença em nenhum dos peptídeos GI no plasma na prole DP. Porém, observamos menor conteúdo intestinal de GLP-1 tanto no grupo DP (-33%) quanto no DPCa (-32%), e uma tendência da grelina (+20%) e do GHSR-1a (+31%) a estarem elevados no estômago do grupo DP. Além de menor conteúdo de GLP1-R no tecido adiposo no grupo DP (-59%) e maior conteúdo de GLP1-R no intestino da prole DPCa (+62%). Não encontramos diferença entre os grupos na expressão de GLP1-R e GHSR-1a no ARC. O grupo DP apresentou ainda um perfil pró-inflamatório caracterizado por maior TNF-α e menor IL-10 no plasma. O DP alterou o perfil dos peptídeos GI a curto e longo prazos, o que pode ter colaborado para o desenvolvimento da obesidade, hiperfagia e RI neste modelo, uma vez que o GLP-1, único peptídeo alterado no período de imprinting, possui um possível papel adipogênico. A suplementação com cálcio foi capaz de reverter todas as alterações produzidas pelo DP. Evidenciamos, então, a importância do aleitamento materno na formação do comportamento alimentar e do balanço metabólico, bem como o papel da suplementação com cálcio no tratamento da obesidade e seus distúrbios associados, inclusive nas alterações do apetite.

Comparação do uso de noradrenalina, nitroprussiato e levosimendan na terapia do choque hipovolêmico: efeitos sobre a microcirculação e expressão gênica renal

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos sistêmicos, microcirculatórios assim como mudanças na expressão gênica renal, causados pela ação da noradrenalina, nitropussiato de sódio e levosimendan no tratamento do choque hemorrágico. Nesse estudo foi utilizado o modelo da câmara dorsal.Os animais foram sujeitos a choque hemorrágico e após, foram aleatoriamente divididos em quatro grupos. Os grupos foram: CTRL, recebeu apenas ringer lactato; NPS recebeu ringer lactato com nitroprussiato de sódio; NA recebeu ringer lactato com noradrenalina e LEV, recebeu ringer lactato com levosimendan. Foram avaliados parâmetros sistêmicos, assim como parâmetros microcirculatórios (comparados como percentual em relação ao momento basal). Além disso, foi avaliada a expressão gênica renal de eNOS, HIF-1α, ICAM e caspase-3. O grupo NPS apresentou uma recuperação sustentada do diâmetro arteriolar ( 89 12 %) e DCF (125 114 %) ao final do tratamento. Houve recuperação da velocidade de hemácias nos grupos CTRL e NPS. Não houve diferença em relação ao número de leucócitos aderidos e/ou rolantes ao final do tratamento. A expressão gênica renal de eNOS e caspase-3 entre os grupos não apontou diferenças, entretanto houve diferença significativa na expressão renal de HIF- 1α no grupo NA (0,65 0,08, UA) em relação ao grupo CTRL (0,44 0,06, UA) e LEV (0,45 0,06, UA). Todos os grupos tiveram uma maior expressão de ICAM (0,65 0,12; 0,7 0,12; 0,069 0,06; 0,65 0,12, UA) em relação ao grupo SHAM (0,50 0,05, UA). Ringer lactato puro ou associado com noradrenalina ou levosimendan não foram suficientes para recuperar e sustentar os parâmetros microvasculares. O tratamento com nitroprussiato de sódio foi o que apresentou os melhores resultados, com recuperação dos diâmetros arteriolar, da DCF e velocidade de hemácias.

水稻花药绒毡层特异基因及减数分裂相关基因的分离与功能分析

　利用RNA减法杂交、差异筛选和5’-RACE等方法从水稻分离到了一花药绒毡层特异表达的基因RA39。Southern 杂交表明，RA39在水稻基因组中是以单拷贝的形式存在的。RT-PCR 结果初步表明，RA39是一水稻花药特异表达的基因。RNA原位杂交进一步表明，RA39主要在水稻花药的绒毡层中表达，而且在小孢子母细胞减数分裂期和四分体时期表达量最高。RA39 cDNA全长1013bp，编码298个氨基酸残基。 RA39 cDNA与数据库中的已知序列没有明显的相似性，由其推测的多肽与核糖体失活蛋白（ribosome-inactivating protein, RIP）的序列相似在19-34%之间。多重序列排列分析结果表明构成RIPs活性位点的5个关键氨基酸残基在RA39中是保守的，在蓖麻毒蛋白中分别为Tyr80、 Tyr123、 Glu177、 Arg180 and Trp211 。利用原核表达系统，通过蛋白质分离和纯化获得了在SDS电泳图谱上为单一条带的纯的RA39蛋白，用兔rRNA作底物进行的酶活性分析证明该蛋白有N-糖基化作用，是一种类型I的核糖体失活蛋白。反义转基因植株的花粉用TTC进行活性染色结果显示其活性明显减弱，成熟的T0代反义转基因植株的结实率明显降低，只有对照的20-60%。这说明，RA39蛋白可能和小孢子母细胞的发育相关。 　　酵母DMC1是减数分裂过程中同源染色体配对和重组修复所必需的减数分裂特异基因。根据酵母Dmc1和拟南芥AtDmc1的保守区设计简并性引物，通过RT-PCR和RACE等方法，从水稻中分离出了酵母DMC1的同源基因OsDMC1。RT-PCR分析表明，OsDMC1在花中表达量最高，在根中表达量较低，在叶片和幼芽几乎不表达。水稻基因组中有两个拷贝的OsDMC1。OsDmc1蛋白与酵母Dmc1和拟南芥AtDmc1氨基酸一致性分别为53%和81%。 　　酵母Spo11在减数分裂过程中具有催化DNA双链断裂从而起始同源重组的功能。以酵母Spo11氨基酸序列为探针和现有的数据库通过数据分析，结合RACE技术，克隆了水稻SPO11同源基因OsSPO11-1， OsSPO11-1是一个单拷贝基因，有3个外显子和2个内含子，在转录过程中通过内含子的可变剪切产生4个不同的转录本（OsSPO11-1A、OsSPO11-1B、OsSPO11-1C和OsSPO11-1），其中，OsSPO11-1A是一个未剪切的转录本，OsSPO11-1B包含内含子2，OsSPO11-1C包含内含子1，OsSPO11-1D是一个完全剪切的转录本。这些转录本编码的蛋白有一致的246氨基酸残基的C-端，包含了Spo11/TopVIA家族蛋白共有的5个功能基元，是该家族的新成员。OsSPO11-1A和 OsSPO11-1C在花中优势积累，OsSPO11-1B是花特异的，而OsSPO11-1D在营养器官中优势积累。在花中该基因主要在减数分裂的花粉母细胞和胚曩中表达，在减数分裂期的绒毡层细胞和不同花器官的微管束细胞中也表达。这些结果说明内含子涉及到了OsSPO11-1表达的器官特异性调节，该基因除了参与减数分裂的调节外，在体细胞的发育中可能起重要作用。

神农架地区米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林的格局与过程

本文对神农架地区广泛分布的米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林的种群和群落学特征、干扰历史、更新策略、生物量、生产量及元素循环特征进行了研究。得到如下结论： 1 米心水青冈林是神农架地区山地垂直分布的地带性植被类型，主要群落学特征为：（1）建群种明显，该区域主要有2种类型，即米心水青冈林和米心水青冈、锐齿槲栎林;（2）群落结构简单，但物种组成丰富，在6600m~2样地中出现高等植物（不含苔藓植物）77科150属271种，组成种类以蔷薇科、百合科、忍冬科、虎耳草科、樟科、杜鹃花科和壳斗科为主;（3）群落乔木层（占重要值的12％）和灌木层（占盖度的15％）中含有一定比例的常绿树种;（4）群落生活型以高位芽植物（70.89%）占绝对优势，其次为地面芽植物（15.50%）和地下芽植物(12.92%)。 2 米心水青冈是多主干的树种，萌枝现象普遍，但萌枝数量不同地点差异较大。通过萌枝产生的枝群体平均密度为257 ± 99.3n•hm~(-2)。枝群体的年龄结构表现为“幼龄个体数目较多型”和“中国年龄阶段数目较多型”，并且有较多的枝群体表现出一致的年龄结构。从整个群落米心水青冈的年龄结构来看，表现出发展型种群的特点。枝群体的分布格局为随机分布。9丛米心水青冈完整的年轮分析结果表明，它们萌枝的时间不是边疆的，而与森林的受干扰有关。根据83个圆盘和生长锥芯资料，米心水青冈在萌枝后成长为乔木层或林冠层的过程中，径向生长表现为5种模式。这是丛株内竞争的结果。萌枝在米心水青冈林的维持和发展过程中，具有重要的生态学作用。 3 锐齿槲栎林是神农架地区山地垂地分布的地带性植被类型，主要群落学特征为：（1）建群种明显，该区域主要有2种类型，即锐齿槲栎林和锐齿槲栎、米心水青冈林;（2）群落乔木层和灌木层中含有一定比例的常绿树种，和暖温带的落叶栎林有较大差异;（3）群落物种组成丰富，不仅具有典型的温带科属，还有典型亚热带分布的科属，组成种类主要以蔷薇科、百合科、忍冬科、虎耳草科、山茱萸科、杜鹃花科、壳斗科和樟科;（4）生活型以高位芽植物（66.32%）占绝对优势，其次为地面芽（23.51%）和地下芽（9.47%）植物。 4 通过样地调查、树干解析及直径分析法，对米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林受压和释压历史及更新策略进行了研究。米心水青冈直径生长表现为5种模式。而锐齿槲栎只表现为2种模式。85.9 ± 6.9%的米心水青冈有过受压过程，平均受压2.1 ± 0.8次，平均受压时间为47 ± 24.1a，最长受压时间73a，平均释压次数为1.6 ± 0.7次，平均释压时间为23 ± 21.5a，而60.83%的锐齿槲栎都均有1次受压。平均受压时间为19 ± 14a，受压后没有表现出释压过程。结合高生长和径向生长，认为米心水青冈是耐阴树种，它的更新策略是在林下形成苗性萌枝，在有林窗形成时释压生长进入乔木层;而锐齿槲栎是不耐阴树种，它的更新策略是通过产生大量种子，当有大的林窗时，幼苗在林窗内生长逐步进入乔木层。 5 神农架地区102-130a成熟米心水青冈林的生物量在251.31-358.63T•hm~(-2)之间，平均为288.70 ± 48.30T•~(-2)，20-60a锐齿槲栎林群落生物量在134.85-301.20T•hm~(-2)，平均为231.60 ± 78.10T•hm~(-2)。虽然米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林灌木层草本层及藤本植物组成很丰富，但二种类型森林生物量的95％以上集中在乔木层。乔木层生物量主要集中在少数优势种中。在米心水青冈林生物量从大到小的序列中，前5种植物分别占乔木层总生物量58.67%-96.37%不等，同样锐齿槲栎林前5种植物占群落生物量的68.13%-95.26%。常绿植物占乔木层生物量的比例变化较大，米心水青冈林中占2.85-18.70%，锐齿槲栎林中一般常绿植物占0.8-9.98%，只有1个锐齿槲栎林样地常绿植物（主要是粉白杜鹃）占乔木层生物量的44.04%。米心水青冈林生物量根冠比为0.27 ± 0.05，锐齿槲栎林为0.21 ± 0.06。神农架地区米心水青冈林的生物量，在成熟的欧洲水青冈林及日本的水青冈林生物量范围之内，而锐齿槲栎林生物量远远大于我国温带落叶栎林的生物量。 6 神农架地区102-130a米心水青冈林生产量范围在1857-2786g•m~(-2)•a~(-1)，平均为2330 ± 397 g•m~(-2)•a~(-1)。20-60a锐齿槲栎林的生产量范围在1319-2521 g•m~(-2)•a~(-1)，平均为1930 ± 498 g•m~(-2)•a~(-1)。米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林乔木层生产量占群落总生产量的95％以上，乔木层各器官生产量大小顺序为叶> 树干> 枝和根，其中叶生产量占乔木层的一半以上，达53.87 ± 2.72%（米心水青冈林）和57.31 ± 6.23%（锐齿槲栎林）。在乔木层生产量从大到小的序列中，前5种植物平均占乔木层总生产量的81.03 ± 13.94%（米心水青冈林，范围在62.75%-92.66%）和84.23 ± 9.68%（锐齿槲栎林，范围在68.54-95.11%）。米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林群落地下部分生产量占总生产量的比例分别为11.29 ± 1.02%和9.22 ± 2.72。和我国其它地区地带性植被类型相比。米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎生产量是较高的，和亚热带绿阔叶林生产量接近，但在器官分配上两者差异较大。 7 米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林土壤均呈酸性。其中锐齿槲栎林地土壤酸性更强。土壤元素特征表现为Al>C>K>Mg>Ca>N>S、P的特点，富铝化作用明显。8种元素在群落优势植物不同部位含量差异较大，N、P、K、Ca、Mg基本上是以叶片含量最高，树干或根中最低。仅从叶片来看，元素特征表现为C>Ca、N>K>Mg>S>P、Al。优势植物的C/N和C/P显著高于暖温带落叶阔叶林优势植物。8种元素在米心水青冈林和锐齿槲栎林中积累量分别为147.09 ± 25.60和116.00 ± 37.63 Mg hm~(-2)a~(-1)，其中97％以上积累在群落乔木层。两种森林类型各元素的积累量都表现为C>Ca, N> K> Mg> P> S> Al的特点。米心水青风林和锐齿槲栎林8种元素的年存留量分别为6263 ± 90.8和5946 ±246 kg hm~(-2)a~(-1),其中N、P、K、Ca、Mg 5种主要营养元素的存留量分别为179.7 ± 18.2和169.4 ± 23.5kg hm~(-2) a~(-1)。两种森林类型各元素的存留量都表现为C> N> Ca> K> Mg> S> P> Al。

Effect of mixed feeding schedule on growth and nutrient utilisation in Rohu, Labeo rohita (Ham.) fingerlings

Studies on nutrient utilisation and growth of rohu (Labeo rohita) fingerlings (3.13-4.09 g) raised on seven feeding schedules under laboratory conditions (26.3-33.5°C) showed that two days regular feeding on Diet B (high protein, 38.90%) resulted in maximum growth and protein retention efficiency. While regular feeding on low protein diet (Diet A) resulted in poor nutrient utilisation and growth of fish, high protein diet (Diet B) did not show any significant difference in growth from the mixed 2A-3B schedules but exhibited comparatively low protein retention efficiency. The other feeding schedules were 1A-2B, 1A-3B, 2A-2B and 2A-4B, where the numerical value refers to the number of days for continuous feeding of a particular diet. The diets A and B served as the controls which contained 3.40 and 3.67 kcal/g gross energy respectively. The 2A-3B feeding schedule was also found to be highly economic as an expenditure of Rs.11/- only was required for raising the body weight by one kilo as against Rs.17/- with high protein diet (Diet B) as calculated

First record of a spindle cowry Crenovolva (Ovulidae, Gastropoda) from Bulleji, Karachi, on the gorgonian coral Muricella sp. and with a note on their association

Attached to hard substrata on our shores occur the branching colonies of gorgonian corals of the genus Muricella (Fig. 1A, Pl. 1B, C, D). Since there is no report on this genus from Pakistan this report be taken as the first record from here. The family Ovulidae comprises several hundred species of marine gastropods, all of which appear to be obligate associates of cnidarians as stated by Robertson (1970) and Hadfield (1976); the present ovulid gastropod genus Crenovolva lives exclusively on the gorgonians (Morton, 1989). Tirmizi and Zehra (1984) recorded thirty-two families of gastropods from Pakistan, but not any representative of the Ovulidae, so the material at hand may be the first record from Pakistan. Since we are unable to reach to specific level the material is being reported as unspecified.

A fast 600-V Tandem PiN Schottky (TPS) rectifier with ultra-low on-state voltage

The Tandem PiN Schottky (TPS) rectifier features lowly-doped p-layers in both active and termination regions, and is applied in 600-V rating for the first time. In the active region, the Schottky contact is in series connection with a transparent p-layer, leading to a superior forward performance than the conventional diodes. In addition, due to the benefit of moderate hole injection from the p-layer, the TPS offers a better trade-off between the on-state voltage and the switching speed. The active p-layer also helps to stabilise the Schottky contact, and hence the electrical data distributions are more concentrated. Regarding the floating p-layer in the termination region, its purpose is to reduce the peak electric fields, and the TPS demonstrates a high breakdown voltage with a compact termination width, less than 70% of the state-of-the-art devices on the market. Experimental results have shown that the 600-V TPS rectifier has an ultra-low on-state voltage of 0.98 V at 250 A/cm 2, a fast turn-off time of 75 ns by the standard RG1 test (I F=0.5A, I R=1A, and I RR=0.25A) and a breakdown voltage over 720 V. It is noteworthy that the p-layers in the active and termination regions can be formed at no extra cost for the use of self-alignment process. © 2012 IEEE.

Simultaneous colour search renders other object properties less salient

A common approach to visualise multidimensional data sets is to map every data dimension to a separate visual feature. It is generally assumed that such visual features can be judged independently from each other. However, we have recently shown that interactions between features do exist [Hannus et al. 2004; van den Berg et al. 2005]. In those studies, we first determined individual colour and size contrast or colour and orientation contrast necessary to achieve a fixed level of discrimination performance in single feature search tasks. These contrasts were then used in a conjunction search task in which the target was defined by a combination of a colour and a size or a colour and an orientation. We found that in conjunction search, despite the matched feature discriminability, subjects significantly more often chose an item with the correct colour than one with correct size or orientation. This finding may have consequences for visualisation: the saliency of information coded by objects' size or orientation may change when there is a need to simultaneously search for colour that codes another aspect of the information. In the present experiment, we studied whether a colour bias can also be found in a more complex and continuous task, Subjects had to search for a target in a node-link diagram consisting of SO nodes, while their eye movements were being tracked, Each node was assigned a random colour and size (from a range of 10 possible values with fixed perceptual distances). We found that when we base the distances on the mean threshold contrasts that were determined in our previous experiments, the fixated nodes tend to resemble the target colour more than the target size (Figure 1a). This indicates that despite the perceptual matching, colour is judged with greater precision than size during conjunction search. We also found that when we double the size contrast (i.e. the distances between the 10 possible node sizes), this effect disappears (Figure 1b). Our findings confirm that the previously found decrease in salience of other features during colour conjunction search is also present in more complex (more 'visualisation- realistic') visual search tasks. The asymmetry in visual search behaviour can be compensated for by manipulating step sizes (perceptual distances) within feature dimensions. Our results therefore also imply that feature hierarchies are not completely fixed and may be adapted to the requirements of a particular visualisation.

A miniature insertion element transposable in Microcystis sp FACHB 854

A 186-bp sequence with imperfect terminal inverted repeats and target direct repeats but without any transposase-encoding capacity was found to be transposable in an isolate derived from Microcystis sp. FACHB 854. This miniature insertion element, designated as ISM854-1, and with its homologues present at least 10 copies in the genome of Microcystis FACHB 854, is inserted into the 8-bp long and AT-rich target sequences, but none or few in other Microcystis strains. A variant of ISM854-1, denoted ISM854-1A, has perfect inverted repeat sequences and may transpose in pairs in a structure like a composite transposon. This is the first report of non-autonomous transposition of a mini-IS in a cyanobacterium.

Photochromic diarylethene for polarization holographic optical recording

Photochromic diarylethene, 1,2-bis[2-methyl-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-thienyl] perfluorocyleopentene (1a), was synthesized. The compound showed good photochromic reactions both in solution and in PMMA matrix by photo-irradiation. Using the diarylethene lb/PMMA film as recording medium and a He-Ne laser for recording and readout, four types of polarization holographic optical recording were accomplished for the first time. The results show that the orthogonal circular polarization recording is the best method for holographic optical recording when the target photochromic diarylethene is used as recording material.

Polarization multiplexing holographic optical recording of a new photochromic diarylethene

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1a is synthesized, and the photochromic properties of it are also investigated. The compound exhibits good photochromism with UV/ visible light irradiation. Compound 1a in polymethyl methacrylate ( PMMA ) film changes color upon 313- nm light irradiation from colorless to blue, in which the absorption maximum is observed at 587 nm. Photon- mode polarization multiplexing holographic optical recording is performed successfully using this compound as a recording medium. In the diarylethene 1b/ PMMA film, polarization multiplexing hologram recording and retrieval, and a combination with the angular multiplexing scheme, are demonstrated systematically. The results indicate that recording capacity can be significantly improved with the combined method of polarization and angular multiplexing holographic recording.

黄土丘陵区退耕撂荒地土壤微生物量演变过程

土壤微生物量是表征土壤生态系统中物质和能量流动的重要参数,研究黄土丘陵区坡耕地撂荒后微生物量及其活性的变化过程对认识该地区生态恢复过程中土壤质量的演变及其效果评价具有重要意义。【方法】采用时空互代法,以典型侵蚀环境纸坊沟流域生态恢复过程中不同年限的撂荒地为研究对象,选取坡耕地和天然侧柏林为参照,通过室内测试分析,并运用统计和相关分析等方法,研究坡耕地撂荒后土壤微生物量、呼吸强度、代谢商(qCO2)及土壤理化性质的演变特征。【结果】侵蚀环境下的坡耕地土壤微生物量含量偏低,土壤理化性质较差,撂荒后理化性质得到显著改善,微生物量碳(Cmic)在撂荒1a后显著增大,前7a较为剧烈,增幅较大,随后呈波动式上升,50a达到最大值;微生物量氮(Nmic)在撂荒初期增长缓慢,40a时才达到显著水平,微生物量磷(Pmic)在撂荒初期显著降低,5～7a达到最低值,随后逐渐上升,20～25a时和坡耕地没有显著差异,50a时达到最大值。撂荒50a时土壤Cmic、Nmic和Pmic分别较坡耕地增加166%、146%和52%,但仅为侧柏林的43.42%、45.06%和51.47%。呼吸强度在撂荒初期迅速增加,随后趋于稳定,与侧柏...
