Thyroid-catecholamines interrelationships in free fatty acids release from adipose tissue

Zusammenfassung Die Abgabe freier Fettsäuren aus dem mesenterialen Fettgewebe kann durch Phentolamin nicht nur bei hyperthyroeten, sondern auch bei euthyreoten Ratten blockiert werden. Die erhöhte Freisetzung bei Hyperthyreose lässt sich wahrscheinlich durch eine gesteigerte Katecholaminaktivität erklären.     

Immunology of toxemias of pregnancy II. Immunological reactivity in eclamptic conditions

Résumé Après une seule injection d'un vaccin brucellique on trouve chez les femmes atteintes d'éclampsie une production d'anticorps incomplets significativement plus élevée que chez les femmes dont la grossesse a été normale.      

Immunology of toxemias of pregnancy I. Findings of organ-specific antibodies

Résumé On a contrôlé des femmes enceintes, atteintes d'éclampsie et, chez un groupe d'entre elles, la présence d'autoanticorps contre le placenta, le foie, les reins et le myocarde. On a constaté un taux significativement plus éleyé d'autoanticorps chez les femmes dont la grossesse a été compliquée d'éclampsie.

The Effects of Different Culture Systems on the Quality of Bovine In Vitro Fertilized Embryos

研究探讨了不同体外培养条件下牛体外受精胚胎的发育速度及囊胚细胞数，从而了解不同体外培养系统对牛体外受精胚胎质量的影响．实验一中将体外受精卵分别在ＳＯＦ＋牛输卵管上皮细胞（ＢＯＥＣ）和ＴＣＭ１９９＋ＢＯＥＣ两种培养系统内培养，在这两种培养条件下囊胚发育率分别为２２．２％和２１．２％，囊胚细胞数分别为１１３．３±５．０和９７．９±８．３，受精后第６～９ｄ的囊胚出现率分别为４０．１％ａ、３７．０％、１９．２％ｂ、２．７％和１３．５％ｃ、３２．７％、３６．５％ｄ、１７．３％（ａ＞ｃ，Ｐ＜０．０１，ｄ＞ｂ，Ｐ＜０．０５），表明牛体外受精卵在ＳＯＦ＋ＢＯＥＣ中的发育速度快于在ＴＣＭ１９９＋ＢＯＥＣ中．实验二中将体外受精卵分别培养于ＳＯＦ＋ＢＯＥＣ、ＳＯＦ＋牛卵丘细胞、ＳＯＦ＋ＢＳＡ三种培养系统中，结果囊胚发育率分别为３５．５％ｅ、２９．４％和２２．４％ｆ（ｅ＞ｆ，Ｐ＜０．０１），囊胚细胞数分别为１１７．３±８．０ｇ、９４．２±９．３和９０．２±９．４ｈ（ｇ＞ｈ，Ｐ＜０．０５）．实验三观察了体外受精胚胎在ＳＯＦ＋ＢＯＥＣ培养条件下发育速度与囊胚细胞数的关系，结果第６～９ｄ的囊胚细胞数分别为１１０．８±１０．２ｉ、１２８．     

Role of the nerve cord in the control of prothoracic glands inGalleria mellonella L.

Summary Certain lesions of the nerve cord in postfeeding larvae impede pupation by altering the proprioreceptive input, which modulates the prothoracicotropic activity of the brain. Direct influence of ventral ganglia on prothoracic glands is negligible.     

Structure of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding core in complex with its ligand

In a variety of cells, the Ca2+ signalling process is mediated by the endoplasmic-reticulum-membrane-associated Ca2+ release channel, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor (InsP3R). Being ubiquitous and present in organisms ranging from humans to Caenorhabditis elegans, InsP3R has a vital role in the control of cellular and physiological processes as diverse as cell division, cell proliferation, apoptosis, fertilization, development, behaviour, memory and learning. Mouse type I InsP3R (InsP3R1), found in high abundance in cerebellar Purkinje cells, is a polypeptide with three major functionally distinct regions: the amino-terminal InsP3-binding region, the central modulatory region and the carboxy-terminal channel region. Here we present a 2.2-A crystal structure of the InsP3-binding core of mouse InsP3R1 in complex with InsP3. The asymmetric, boomerang-like structure consists of an N-terminal beta-trefoil domain and a C-terminal alpha-helical domain containing an 'armadillo repeat'-like fold. The cleft formed by the two domains exposes a cluster of arginine and lysine residues that coordinate the three phosphoryl groups of InsP3. Putative Ca2+-binding sites are identified in two separate locations within the InsP3-binding core.     

不同体外培养系统对牛体外受精胚胎冷冻解冻后孵化能力的影响

采用ＳＯＦ和ＴＣＭ１９９与输卵管上皮细胞共同培养系统对牛体外受精卵进行培养,观察了在这两种培养条件下得到的囊胚经冷冻—解冻后的孵化能力．在ＳＯＦ＋输卵管上皮细胞的培养条件下,囊胚的发育率为２１．３％,囊胚经冷冻—解冻后的孵化率为３７．５％;在ＴＣＭ１９９＋输卵管上皮细胞的培养条件下,囊胚的发育率为２６．０％,囊胚经冷冻—解冻后的孵化率为４７．７％．研究结果表明这两种体外培养系统的培养效果无显著差异（Ｐ＞０．０５）．     

Photocontrolled reversible release of guest molecules from coumarin-modified mesoporous silica

Since the discovery of MCM-41 more than ten years ago, many investigations have explored the suitability of hexagonal mesoporous silicas for potential practical applications. These range from catalysis and optically active materials to polymerization science, separation technology and drug delivery, with recent successes in the fabrication of hybrid mesoporous organosilicas expected to open up further application possibilities. Because the pore voids of this class of materials exhibit relatively narrow pore size distributions in the range of 2-4 nm in diameter, mesoporous silicas can selectively include organic compounds and release them continuously at a later stage. The functionalization of MCM-41 pore voids with photoactive derivatives provides influence over the material's absorption behaviour, but full control over the release process remains difficult. Here we show that the uptake, storage and release of organic molecules in MCM-41 can be regulated through the photocontrolled and reversible intermolecular dimerization of coumarin derivatives attached to the pore outlets. Successful functionalization requires uncalcined MCM-41 still filled with the template molecules that directed the formation of its pores, to ensure that coumarin derivatives attach preferentially to the pore outlets, rather than their inside walls. We find that this feature and the one-dimensional, isolated nature of the individual pores allow for efficient and reversible photocontrol over guest access to the material's interior.
