喀斯特自然土壤中AM真菌对先锋植物根系的影响

【目的】研究丛枝菌根(Arbuscular mycorrhiza，AM)真菌在喀斯特自然土壤条件下对喀斯特先锋草本植物根系的影响。【方法】通过自然土接种AM真菌(N)、灭菌土接种AM真菌(M)及灭菌土壤对照(S)共3种土壤处理，种植喀斯特先锋植物狗尾草(Setaria viridis)、荩草(Arthraxon hispidus)、鬼针草(Bidens pilosa)及狼杷草(Bidens tripartita)，并测定它们的根系生物量、根长、根表面积、根体积、根平均直径、根尖数及根分枝数。【结果】荩草、鬼针草及狼杷草在N处理及M处理下具有较高的菌根侵染率，狗尾草的菌根侵染率较低。与S处理相比，M处理下AM真菌明显提高了荩草、鬼针草及狼杷草的根系生物量、根长、根表面积、根体积、根尖数、根分枝数及组织密度，降低了根平均直径、比根长、比根面积及比根体积；与M处理相比，N处理明显降低了荩草、鬼针草及狼杷草的根系生物量、根长、根表面积、根体积、根尖数、根分枝数及组织密度，提高了比根长、比根面积及比根体积，但对根平均直径无明显影响。【结论】荩草、鬼针草及狼杷草具有较高菌根侵染率，能与AM真菌共生获得更加发达的根系，而自然土壤削弱了AM真菌对荩草、鬼针草及狼杷草根系生长的促进作用。     

The effect of shock on blood oxidation-reduction potential

Oxidation-reduction (redox) potential measurements were made in the blood of rabbits subjected to hemorrhagic shock followed by treatment with a mild oxidizing agent (albumin). Control redox potential reading corrected for pH was –8.8±1.3 millivolts (mV) in arterial blood (A) and –18.0±2.0 mV in venous blood (V). This A-V difference indicated that hydrogen equivalents coming from muscle and other tissues were partially consumed in the lungs. A 20-mV drop on the V and a 13 mV on the A side was seen after shock. This did not fully return to control 2 h after return of the shed blood. Infusion of 2 g of albumin/kg/h raised the V redox potential to control, but it returned to untreated levels when the albumin was discontinued. The reductive load imposed on the animal by shock appeared to be large and not readily reversed by reperfusion or by the quantity of albumin given. Thus, it may be concluded that cellular respiration had not been adequately restored. This reductive load may impede recovery by suppression of cellular respiration and other cell and organ functions.     

A difference in creatine uptake between pectoralis and thigh muscles of the chicken

Zusammenfassung Intravenös verabreichte Tracerdosis von¹⁴C-Kreatin führt beim Huhn zur viermal höheren Aufnahme im Biceps femoris als im Musculus pectoralis. Dieser muskuläre Unterschied fällt fort, wenn gleichzeitig grosse Mengen nicht-radioaktiven Kreatins gegeben werden.

Effects of X-irradiation during hibernation on tissue catecholamine contents

Zusammenfassung 20 h nach Bestrahlung mit letaler Röntgenstrahlendosis (2000 r) zeigten winterschlafendeCitellus tridecemlineatus Herabsetzung der Konzentration von Catecholaminen in Leber und Niere. Werden Veränderungen des Wassergehaltes im Gewebe mitberücksichtigt, so erscheint der Gehalt an myokardialen Catecholaminen unverändert.

Seismic tremors and magma wagging during explosive volcanism

Volcanic tremor is a ubiquitous feature of explosive eruptions. This oscillation persists for minutes to weeks and is characterized by a remarkably narrow band of frequencies from about 0.5?Hz to 7?Hz (refs 1-4). Before major eruptions, tremor can occur in concert with increased gas flux and related ground deformation. Volcanic tremor is thus of particular value for eruption forecasting. Most models for volcanic tremor rely on specific properties of the geometry, structure and constitution of volcanic conduits as well as the gas content of the erupting magma. Because neither the initial structure nor the evolution of the magma-conduit system will be the same from one volcano to the next, it is surprising that tremor characteristics are so consistent among different volcanoes. Indeed, this universality of tremor properties remains a major enigma. Here we employ the contemporary view that silicic magma rises in the conduit as a columnar plug surrounded by a highly vesicular annulus of sheared bubbles. We demonstrate that, for most geologically relevant conditions, the magma column will oscillate or 'wag' against the restoring 'gas-spring' force of the annulus at observed tremor frequencies. In contrast to previous models, the magma-wagging oscillation is relatively insensitive to the conduit structure and geometry, which explains the narrow band of tremor frequencies observed around the world. Moreover, the model predicts that as an eruption proceeds there will be an upward drift in both the maximum frequency and the total signal frequency bandwidth, the nature of which depends on the explosivity of the eruption, as is often observed.     

The influence of a chemical boundary layer on the fixity,spacing and lifetime of mantle plumes

Seismological observations provide evidence that the lowermost mantle contains superposed thermal and compositional boundary layers that are laterally heterogeneous. Whereas the thermal boundary layer forms as a consequence of the heat flux from the Earth's outer core, the origin of an (intrinsically dense) chemical boundary layer remains uncertain. Observed zones of 'ultra-low' seismic velocity suggest that this dense layer may contain metals or partial melt, and thus it is reasonable to expect the dense layer to have a relatively low viscosity. Also, it is thought that instabilities in the thermal boundary layer could lead to the intermittent formation and rise of mantle plumes. Flow into ascending plumes can deform the dense layer, leading, in turn, to its gradual entrainment. Here we use analogue experiments to show that the presence of a dense layer at the bottom of the mantle induces lateral variations in temperature and viscosity that, in turn, determine the location and dynamics of mantle plumes. A dense layer causes mantle plumes to become spatially fixed, and the entrainment of low-viscosity fluid enables plumes to persist within the Earth for hundreds of millions of years.

The effect of pyridoxine and pyridoxal on the circulatory response of rats to microwave irradiation

Résumé L'administration intraveineuse de pyridoxine et pyridoxal (10 mg/kg) à des rats anesthésiés inhibe l'augmentation du rendement du cocur. En même temps, une hyperthermie est provoquée par l'irradiation du corps entier avec des ondes de longueur minime (2,450 Mc. c.w. 0.08/w/cm²). Cet effet peut être attribué à l'interaction de ces composés d'amines vasoactifs libérés pendant l'irradiation.
