指示离子方波极谱法测定维生素B1

利用Zn^2 对硫胺素(VB1)的指示作用，建立一种用方波极谱法测定VB1的新方法。在NH3-N14Cl缓冲溶液中，Zn^2 在-1．330V(vs．SCE)处出现一个还原峰，再加入VB1，在-0．360V(vs．SCE)处出现一个新的还原峰，根据此还原峰峰高的变化可测定在NH3．NHCl缓冲溶液中不出峰的VB1的浓度。其线形范围为2μmol／L-4mmol/L。利用此方法对活肤胶囊中的VB1的含量进行测定，效果理想。     

Regional distribution of thiamin pyrophosphokinase in rat brain

The highest specific activity of thiamin pyrophosphokinase was found in the cerebellum, and lower activity in cerebral cortex and midbrain. The regional difference in the enzyme activity was similar to that in thiamin content and the influx rate in rat brain, suggesting that the enzyme is involved in the thiamin transport.     

高精度步进压印机热误差的建模分析

为了消除由紫外光曝光所引起的步进压印机的热误差，以提高压印机的套刻对准精度，运用逐步回归分析法选取了压印机上温度测量点的数量，将压印机上布置的温度传感器从15个减少到6个，并建立了压印机温度测量关键点处的温度与压头在x、z方向热误差关系的数学模型．实验结果与模型计算结果的对比分析表明，模型的热误差预测精度在x方向可以达到899／6，而在z方向可以达到939／6．应用表明，该方法是一种在压印机热误差建模中选择温度测量关键点的有效方法，可避免热误差建模过程中的变量耦合问题，从而提高了模型的精确性．     

二氢香芹醇的研制

用Bouvealt-Blane法将香芹酮还原成二氢香芹醇。在反应混和物中添加碱土金属的中性盐可抑制焦油的生成,提高产率。本文就碱土金属盐的种类及其用量、反应时间和反应温度对还原产率的影响进行了研究,选出了较好的反应条件,使香芹酮的转化率提高到66.3％。     

Age distribution of circulatingα-interferon

Summary A sensitive radioimmunoassay showed that circulating -interferon in the plasma of healthy individuals was low in children and reached the highest level in the young adult, then declined gradually with age. Circulating -interferon was 0.201±0.059 ng/ml in males (n=19) and 0.184±0.076 ng/ml in females (n=14) at ages 30–39 years old. It was noted that circulating -interferon was maintained up to a certain level even in elderly individuals.     

A new indolic antiauxin, α-(5,7-dichloroindole-3-)isobutyric acid: its chemical synthesis and biological activity

Summary A new potent antiauxin, -(5,7-dichloroindole-3-)isobutyric acid has been synthesized and shown to inhibit auxin-mediated elongation ofAvena coleoptiles and to stimulate root growth of rice seedlings. Its activity is stronger than -(p-chlorophenoxy)isobutyric acid and is comparable to that of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, which are typical antiauxins.     

Comparative aspects of structure and action of molluscan neuropeptides

A number of neuropeptides were isolated from the ganglia and muscles of molluscs, and their actions were examined. Diverse neuropeptides, in addition to several classical neurotransmitters, were suggested to be involved in the regulation of the anterior byssus retractor muscle ofMytilus. A wide structural variety of members of theMytilus inhibitory peptide family was observed in each of the generaMytilus, Achatina andHelix. Gly-Trp-NH₂, the C-terminal dipeptide fragment of the neuropeptide AGPWamide, showed a more potent action than the parent peptide in all of the muscles examined. Peptides related to some molluscan neuropeptides were found to be distributed interphyletically. Some neuropeptides containing ad-amino acid residue were found inAchatina andMytilus. These aspects of molluscan neuropeptides are thought not to be exceptional.     

In vitro protein synthesis and α amylase activity in F cells from hepatopancreas ofPalaemon serratus (Crustacea; Decapoda)

In crustaceans, all the steps in the assimilation of food take place in the hepatopancreas. To facilitate the study of this organ, a method for the dissociation of cell types was developed. The hepatopancreas of the prawnPalaemon serratus was mechanically dissociated and the cells separated by Percoll density-gradient centrifugation. The E and R cells had similar densities of around 1.05 g/ml. The F cells were separated into two distinct fractions with densities of 1.075 and 1.082 g/ml. The B cells sedimented at a density of 1.12 g/ml. The ratio between the two populations of F cells was found to vary during the intermolt cycle while B cells disappeared after the molt. When the density gradient fractions were incubated with³H-leucine, incorporation was highest in the F cell fractions. Measurements of -amylase activity, indicated that the two populations of F cells may be derived from the same cell type.     

Bicuculline and picrotoxin block γ-aminobutryic acid-gated Cl− conductance by different mechanisms

Summary Using isolated, internally perfused bullfrog dorsal root ganglion cells we have studied the dose-response curves for -aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the presence of internally or externally applied GABA antagonists. With external application of antagonists the inhibition of the GABA current by bicuculline was competitive and that by picrotoxin was noncompetitive. Picrotoxin but not bicuculline blocked when internally perfused.To whom reprint requests should be addressed.Acknowledgments. We thank Drs S. Minakami and S.
