SLX4, a coordinator of structure-specific endonucleases, is mutated in a new Fanconi anemia subtype

DNA interstrand crosslink repair requires several classes of proteins, including structure-specific endonucleases and Fanconi anemia proteins. SLX4, which coordinates three separate endonucleases, was recently recognized as an important regulator of DNA repair. Here we report the first human individuals found to have biallelic mutations in SLX4. These individuals, who were previously diagnosed as having Fanconi anemia, add SLX4 as an essential component to the FA-BRCA genome maintenance pathway.     

上海市百岁老人的谱系及其分析

本文调查了上海市百岁老人的性别、职业和谱系,并绘制了57个完整的寿命谱系图,其中男性10名(占总数的17.5%),女性47名(占82.5%).男性中脑力劳动者4名(占男性总数的40%),体力劳动者6名(占60%);女性中脑力劳动者1人(占女性总数的2.1%),体力劳动者3人(占6.4%),操持家务者43人(占91.5%).有长寿家族史者40人(占寿命家族史清楚者的70.2%),无长寿家族史者17人(占29.8%).百岁老人配偶寿长≥70岁者,其已故子女的平均寿命高于配偶<70岁的.作者认为长寿是遗传的,并着重从遗传和环境两方面分析了女寿星数明显多于男寿星数的原因.

宇航员头部冲击的模拟创伤实验研究

该文通过３４只罗猴头颈实验研究，从中决定罗猴的颅脑损伤容限．当颅脑受到冲击时，颅壳发生局部变形瞬间，大脑亦发生变形，致使颅内压升高．利用这些结果来确定它的损伤机制，以模拟宇航员在冲击载荷下的创伤分析模型，将有助于进行临床创伤治疗和宇航弹射时的防护．
