重金属的间隙水化学动力学及再循环模式

用 Berner间隙水化学动力学模式研究间隙水中 Pb(Ⅱ),Cd(Ⅱ),Cu(Ⅰ),Zn(Ⅱ)去除反应。将动力学模式应用于沉积物一上覆水,沉积物表层一下层各界面的通量及组份再循环计算,求出初级成岩过程中重金属的溶出率。结果表明这些元素的间隙水化学过程是计算沉积物一上覆水,沉积物表层一沉积物下层各界面通量时必须考虑的重要因素。     

Insulin gene enhancer binding protein Isl-1 is a member of a novel class of proteins containing both a homeo- and a Cys-His domain.

The activity of the rat insulin I gene enhancer is mainly dependent on two cis-acting protein-binding domains. Here we report the isolation of a complementary DNA encoding a protein, Isl-1, that binds to one of these domains. Isl-1 contains a homeodomain with greatest similarity to those of the Caenorhabditis elegans proteins encoded by mec-3 and lin-11. In addition, Isl-1, like the lin-11 and mec-3 gene products, contains a novel Cys-His domain which is reminiscent of known metal-binding regions. Together these proteins define a novel class of proteins containing both a homeo- and a Cys His-domain. Isl-1 is preferentially expressed in cells of pancreatic endocrine origin. If the structural homologies between Isl-1 and the C. elegans gene products reflect functional similarities, a role for Isl-1 in the development of pancreatic endocrine cells could be envisaged.

Preliminary observations of a bacteriophage infectingXenorhabdus luminescens (Enterobacteriaceae)

A bacteriophage infective toXenorhabdus luminescens, a bacterial symbiont of heterorhabditid nematodes, was recovered from insects that supported poor nematode development. Plaque tests showed the phage particles to be infective only to primary and not secondary colonies ofX. luminescens. The phage was not infective toX. nenatophilus primaries or secondaries. The bacteriophage particles ranged 80–90 nm in length, with the head ranging from 40 to 50 nm in diameter. Restriction analysis was performed on isolated bacteriophage DNA. This first report of a bacteriophage fromXenorhabdus species has pratical implications since it could be detrimental to cultures ofHeterorhabditis nematodes that are being produced throughout the world for the biological control of insects.     

Membrane potential measurement in mouse salivary gland cells

Zusammenfassung Acetylcholin erzeugt auf das Membranpotential von Azinuszellen der Glandula submandibularis der Maus eine diphasische Veränderung des Membranpotentials (rasche Hyperpolarisation und langsame, verzögerte Depolarisation oder rasche Depolarisation und langsame Hyperpolarisation). Hinweise sprechen dafür, dass Acetylcholin die Permeabilität für Na⁺-und K⁺-Ionen erhöht.

Effects of insulin hypoglycaemia on the adrenal medulla of the hamster

Résumé Pendant l'hypoglycémie insulinique (4 U/100 g), le hamster maintenu a 19°C présente une augmentation de l'adrénaline et de la noradrénaline plasmatiques, ainsi qu'une réduction de ces deux catécholamines dans les surrénales. Maintenu à 26°C, l'hypoglycémie se produit aussi bien avec 4 U/100 g d'insuline mais il n'y a pas de changements de l'adrénaline et noradrénaline du plasma et des surrénales. Pour obtenir des modifications, il est nécessaire d'augmenter la dose d'insuline à 8 U/100 g. En conclusion, la température extérieure a une influence marquée sur la réponse médullo-surrénale de l'hypoglycémie insulinique.
