Hormonal induction of steroid sulphatase in the mouse

Summary By comparing steroid sulphatase levels per se, and also ratios to -galactosidase, in 6 sets of mice — normal females, entire and castrated males both with and without exogenous testosterone administration — we obtained support for the contention that induction of this enzyme is in part controlled by male hormones.     

Bromocriptine-induced removal of endoplasmic membranes from prolactinoma cells

Summary Adenomatous prolactin cells lose 39% of their cytoplasm volume within 7 days after the beginning of bromocriptine treatment. A simultaneous reduction of the rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus occurs. Their membranes are removed by rapid transport along the secretory pathway to the cell surface and to lysosomal destruction.We thank Prof. E. del Pozo, Sandoz Ltd, Basle, for the generous gift of injectable bromocriptine, Prof. E.R. Weibel, Dept. of Anatomy, University of Bern, for his technical advice, Dr U. Helfenstein, Institute of Biostatistics, University of Zürich, for his help in the statistical evaluation of the results and the EMDO-Foundation, Zürich, for financial support.     

In vitro mutagenicity testing of a potent,new, benzoyl urea insect growth regulator

Summary Bacterial mutagenicity assay to detect potential chronic toxicity of a potent, new, benzoyl urea insect growth regulator (CGA-112913 or IKI-7899, formerly UC-62644) was conducted using 5 histidine auxotrophs ofSalmonella typhimurium. Tests within the concentration range of 0.9–500 g (saturating)/plate of the compound with and without the 5–9 mammalian metabolic activation system showed no mutagenic effects clearing the way for long-term chronic toxicology studies.The authors thank Professor Bruce N. Ames for supplying the tester strains together with all the relevant information for conducting the bioassays and Ms. Norma Charlebois for her meticulous technical assistance.     

Adrenocortical metabolism and plasma corticosterone in soman intoxicated rabbits

Summary The organophosphate neurotoxin soman produced impairments in adrenocortical RNA and protein metabolism. Fasciculate and reticular cell RNA and protein contents were supporessed with sublethal to acutely lethal dosages (20, 30 and 40 g/kg, s.c.) during the acute excitatory phase of intoxication and at 6–8 h post injection. All three dosages produced ca 90% inactivation of plasma cholinesterase. A transient elevation of plasma corticosterone occurred with 20 g/kg soman whereas there was a protracted increase with 30 g/kg. Corticosterone was not significantly elevated with 40 g/kg, but death occurred at 13±4 min. Thus, the magnitude and/or nature of soman-induced metabolic impairments does not appear to prevent adrenal activation.Supported by US Army Medical Research and Development Command Contract DAMD 17-81-C-1202.     

基于轻量化深度学习网络的数字仪表识别

数字式仪表常用于变电站、工厂等生产环境,是一种直观的设备监测仪器。然而当前数字式仪表的读取方式还依赖于人工巡检,手动记录等,这些传统的巡检方式来监测设备的运行状态大大降低了巡检效率。为了实现传统行业的数字化转型,本文提出基于轻量化深度学习的数字仪表识别方法,通过改进的YOLOv5的目标检测框架,针对数字仪表目标区域在整张图片大小不一致的情况,提出对于感兴趣区域（ROI）的迭代目标检测方法,首次检测将感兴趣区域进行检测并切割统一到相同的尺度,随后迭代检测网络针对感兴趣区域内的字符进行检测并分类,以达到精确读数的目的。为提升多尺度检测性能,本文采用Res2Net模块主干网络中的的残差模块。采用GIoU取代通用的IoU作为位置损失函数加速模型训练效果的收敛。实验表明,改进后的框架实现了99.62%的准确率和99.55%的召回率,相比基线网络分别提升了12.72%和5.85%。通过将框架在边缘计算平台上的终端部署,在实际生产中取代了人工巡检,实现了商业化运行。

Identification and possible biological relevance of spermatozoal transglutaminase

Summary Normal human spermatozoa were demonstrated by dot immunoblot analysis and immunohistochemistry to possess transglutaminase (TGase). The immunological identification of spermatozoal TGase is consistent with reports by others of its biochemical identification and suggested role in sperm motility,and provides, in view of the immunoregulatory properties of seminal plasma TGase, presumptive identification of a means whereby spermatozoa, under normal physiological conditions, may possibly be protected from immunological attack within the female reproductive tract.     

“回避行为”初探

心理语言学日新月异的发展推动着“错误分析”理论由外显的,线性平面上的干扰研究发展到内在的,深层的非直接性干扰研究。根据这种发展动态,本文对“回避行为”的假设先决条件与思想动因作了较为深刻的探讨与剖析。     

灌注桩超声脉冲检测法和判据的研究

本文论述了钴孔灌注桩超声脉中检测法的原理、仪器和方法.分析了当超声脉冲穿过缺陷区时其传播时间、幅值(或衰减)以及接收信号波形所呈现的变化.提出了基于"声时—深度"曲线的缺陷定量判据.即声时差值与斜率乘积判据.该判据能估算缺陷的性质和大小.而且,若将该判据与"幅值—深度"曲线综合运用,则可提高检测和判断结果的精度.
