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.

“生态建设”这个词是可以用的

“生态环境”四个字连起来用是不恰当的。“生态环境建设”一词，当然也不宜使用。但“生态建设”这个词应该还是可以用的。我们进行国家中长期科技发展规划战略研究时，就用了这个词。我们专题的名称就是：“生态建设、环境保护与循环经济科技问题”。“生态建设”一词若译成英文应该是“ecological restoration”。其内涵包括了修复、重建、建设等概念，比“ecological construction”要宽泛一些。后者一般仅指工程建设。有人认为提生态建设就会鼓励人们搞人工生态系统。有人认为提生态建设就会鼓励人们搞人工生态系统。实际上，人工生态系统建设是不可避免的。比如在黄土高原，有些陡坡当然要靠自然修复，但是很多地方只能靠人工修复，如建梯田、种草、造林等。又如，北方冬春草场很少，就必须建设人工冬春场草地，以适应现代畜牧业的需要，使冬场和夏场能够平衡起来。这是放牧业必须走的道路，必须要建设。再如耕地都是人工生态系统。不要人工系统，只能都回到自然去，回到原始社会中。中国有不少生态问题，有很多退化生态系统，如果没有人工的建设，不建立一系列的人工生态系统，是不可能实现可持续发展的。现在有一种观点，凡是自然的，都不能动，动了就是不符合生态原则。我不同意这种观点。

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.
