A microanalysis of colloid osmotic pressure

Summary A needle type of colloid osmometer has been devised with special attachments which made it useable with 3-l samples. It has been used in oncometry of fresh water teleosts to give the following results: 5.1±1.0 mm Hg for goldfish, 5.2±0.71 mm Hg for carp, and 14.3±0.75 mm Hg for eel.This study was supported in part by Research Grant 387036 from the Ministry of Education of Japan.invited to National Institute of Physiological Sciences, Okazaki, Japan.     

利用环介导恒温扩增法简易诊断松萎蔫病Takuya Aikawa,Natsumi Kanzak,Taisei Kikuch

诊断松萎蔫病的传统方法是从木质组织中分离松材线虫,然后用显微镜进行形态学鉴定。基于DNA分子检测的方法尽管很灵敏,不需要固定发育阶段的松材线虫,但是仍然需要用Baermann 漏斗法分离线虫,并且需要昂贵的仪器。笔者研发了利用环介导恒温扩增法检测松材线虫的存在,该方法包括：(1) 从木块中提取DNA;(2) DNA 扩增;(3) 通过反应溶液的颜色做出诊断。该方法仅使用培养箱且整个过程只需要90 min,比以往方法更加简便和快速。     

基于统计信道模型的MIMO多天线系统性能研究

由于多径效应的存在,MIMO无线传输系统的性能很大程度上取决于衰落信号空间相关性.研究基于统计的传输信道模型,及在此模型下MIMO多天线系统的接收性能.在理想基站天线结构下,用户终端(UT)的波达信号方位功率谱(APS)模型可应用到Kronecker MIMO信道模型中.研究在Kronecker MIMO信道模型中方位功率谱对MIMO分集和多天线系统性能的影响.数值仿真结果表明:此统计信道模型下的参数估计符合理论和经验;提出的统计信道模型及分析法扩展了以前的MIMO信道模型建模,降低了计算和分析的复杂度.

HLA-DQ is epistatic to HLA-DR in controlling the immune response to schistosomal antigen in humans

Antigens that produce an antibody response in some members of a species may fail to do so in others. The response to an antigen is controlled by a gene termed the immune response (Ir) gene, which is transmitted as a single dominant trait. We have provided evidence for similar immune suppression (Is) genes which control non-responsiveness through the antigen specific suppressor T cell. The non-responsiveness is also dominantly inherited and the Is genes are linked to the histocompatibility (HLA) antigen system. Here we report that the HLA-DR2 molecule from a non-responder haplotype (HLA-Dw12-DR2-DQwl) is required for the proliferative T cell response to schistosoma japonicum (Sj) antigen, as a restriction element, indicating that the HLA-DR2 is the product of the Ir gene, and that the HLA-DQwl molecule of the non-responder haplotype is important in the antigen-specific suppression of the response to this antigen, suggesting that it is the product of the Is gene. We therefore conclude that the HLA-DR and DQ molecules, which are controlled by the distinct genes in the MHC multigene family, regulate immune response and immune suppression and that the gene for HLA-DQ is epistatic to that for HLA-DR in controlling the immune response to schistosomal antigen in humans.
