Wnt/β-catenin信号通路对舌味觉乳头发育及舌癌的调控作用

Wnt经典信号通路(Wnt/β-catenin信号通路)在小鼠舌味觉乳头的早期发育以及味蕾再生过程中具有重要的调控作用,该信号通路的关键因子的缺失或者过表达可导致舌味觉乳头发育缺陷以及味蕾功能异常.此外,Wnt/β-catenin信号通路在成体舌的异常还与舌癌的发生有关.     

β-Catenin和Wnt5a蛋白在人牙齿早期发育过程中的表达

以人牙胚为材料,运用免疫组织化学染色技术分别检测经典Wnt信号通路的β-Catenin和非经典Wnt信号通路的Wnt5a的表达模式．结果表明：从12w人牙胚帽状期到15w钟状期。β-Catenin蛋白在牙上皮细胞的表达强于牙问充质细胞,且其在磨牙细胞的表达强于门牙;随着发育的成熟,β-Catenin蛋白在内釉上皮细胞的表达增强,而在外釉上皮层和星网状层的表达降低．WntSa蛋白在人牙胚中的牙间充质细胞的表达强于牙上皮：从帽状期到钟状期．Wnt5a蛋白在内釉上皮层和星网状层的表达降低,β-Catenin蛋白的表达整体明显高于WntSa．因此,经典Wnt信号通路在人牙齿早期发育过程中发挥重要的作用．     

Wnt信号通路与心脏发育和心肌诱导分化

Wnt信号通路是调控心肌细胞分化和心脏发育的重要信号通路.在哺乳动物中,迄今已发现19个分泌性Wnt蛋白,10个Frizzled受体和多个拮抗分子,显示Wnt信号家族效应广泛复杂.Wnt通路大致分为β-catenin依赖的经典通路和β-catenin非依赖的非经典通路,二者均在心脏发育中发挥重要的作用,广泛调控心肌细胞的增殖、分化、黏附、迁移和极化等.研究发现,Wnt信号通路在心肌细胞分化进程中存在明显的阶段特异性效应,呈现典型的双相性作用.通过小分子或转基因等调制Wnt信号通路,可有效提高体外多能干细胞向心肌的诱导分化效率.

铅通过Wnt信号通路损伤发育期大鼠海马DG区神经再生的研究

文章研究铅暴露对大鼠海马DG区神经再生的影响及潜在机制,SD大鼠随机分为正常对照组和慢性铅暴露组。正常对照组饮用蒸馏水,铅暴露组饮用铅水(250mg/L醋酸铅溶于蒸馏水,30mL/d)。实验鼠自胚胎期开始接受铅暴露,出生后至断奶前(出生后21d)通过母乳间接接受铅暴露,断奶后通过饮用铅水直接接受铅暴露。对照组和铅暴露组幼鼠均于出生后第19~21天通过腹腔注射给予5-溴脱氧尿嘧啶核苷(BrdU)40mg/kg,每天1次,于第22天断头取材。免疫组织化学观察海马区新生神经元数量,Western blot检测Wnt通路相关蛋白表达量,荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(quantitative polymerase chain reaction,Q-PCR)检测Wnt通路中mRNA的表达。结果表明:铅暴露显著降低大鼠海马DG区神经元数目(BrdU标记)以及新生神经元数目(BrdU和DCX共标);铅暴露显著升高β-catenin磷酸化水平,降低GSK-3β磷酸化水平,而对GSK-3β和β-catenin总体水平没有产生显著影响;在mRNA水平上,GSK-3β则明显上升。该研究结论为慢性铅暴露降低发育期大鼠海马区新生神经元数目可能与经典Wnt通路有关。     

Markedness and its Interpretation in Language Use

Language markedness is a common phenomenon in languages, and is reflected from hearing, vision and sense, i.e. the variation in the three aspects such as phonology, morphology and semantics. This paper focuses on the interpretation of markedness in language use following the three perspectives, i.e. pragmatic interpretation, psychological interpretation and cognitive interpretation, with an aim to define the function of markedness.     

Features of Women's language

Language is a means of verbal communication. People use language to communicate with each other. In the society, no two speakers are exactly alike in the way of speaking. Some differences are due to age, gender, statue and personality. Above all, gender is one of the obvious reasons. The writer of this paper tries to describe the features of women＇s language from these perspectives： pronunciation, intonation, diction, subjects, grammar and discourse. From the discussion of the features of women＇s language, more attention should be paid to language use in social context. What＇s more, the linguistic phenomena in a speaking community can be understood more thoroughly.

理论推导与室内实验相结合,建立了低渗透非均质砂岩油藏启动压力梯度确定方法。首先借助油藏流场与电场相似的原理,推导了非均质砂岩油藏启动压力梯度计算公式。其次基于稳定流实验方法,建立了非均质砂岩油藏启动压力梯度测试方法。结果表明:低渗透非均质砂岩油藏的启动压力梯度确定遵循两个等效原则。平面非均质油藏的启动压力梯度等于各级渗透率段的启动压力梯度关于长度的加权平均;纵向非均质油藏的启动压力梯度等于各渗透率层的启动压力梯度关于渗透率与渗流面积乘积的加权平均。研究成果可用于有效指导低渗透非均质砂岩油藏的合理井距确定,促进该类油藏的高效开发。     

On Tragic Consciousness In The Works By Ernest Hemingway

As an American modern novelist who were famous in the literary world, Hemingway was not a person who always followed the trend but a sharp observer. At the same time, he was a tragedy maestro, he paid great attention on existence, fate and end-result. The dramatis personae's tragedy of his works was an extreme limit by all means tragedy on the meaning of fearless challenge that failed. The beauty of tragedy was not produced on the destruction of life, but now this kind of value was in the impact activity. They performed for the reader about the tragedy on challenging for the limit and the death.     

Achieving Unusual States of Matter Under High Pressure

正The periodicity of the elements and the non-reactivity of the inner-shell electrons are two related principles of chemistry,rooted in the atomic shell structure.Within compounds,Group I elements,for example,invariably assume the+1 oxidation state,and their chemical properties differ completely from those of the p-block elements.These general rules govern our understanding of chemical structures and reactions.Using first principles calcula-
