ATP-induced Ca<Superscript>2+</Superscript>-signalling mechanisms in the regulation of mesenchymal stem cell migration

The ability of cells to migrate to the destined tissues or lesions is crucial for physiological processes from tissue morphogenesis, homeostasis and immune responses, and also for stem cell-based regenerative medicines. Cytosolic Ca²⁺ is a primary second messenger in the control and regulation of a wide range of cell functions including cell migration. Extracellular ATP, together with the cognate receptors on the cell surface, ligand-gated ion channel P2X receptors and a subset of G-protein-coupled P2Y receptors, represents common autocrine and/or paracrine Ca²⁺ signalling mechanisms. The P2X receptor ion channels mediate extracellular Ca²⁺ influx, whereas stimulation of the P2Y receptors triggers intracellular Ca²⁺ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and activation of both type of receptors thus can elevate the cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]_c), albeit with different kinetics and capacity. Reduction in the ER Ca²⁺ level following the P2Y receptor activation can further induce store-operated Ca²⁺ entry as a distinct Ca²⁺ influx pathway that contributes in ATP-induced increase in the [Ca²⁺]_c. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a group of multipotent stem cells that grow from adult tissues and hold promising applications in tissue engineering and cell-based therapies treating a great and diverse number of diseases. There is increasing evidence to show constitutive or evoked ATP release from stem cells themselves or mature cells in the close vicinity. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms for ATP release and clearance, the receptors and ion channels participating in ATP-induced Ca²⁺ signalling and the roles of such signalling mechanisms in mediating ATP-induced regulation of MSC migration.     

基于信息共享角度的团购策略研究

随着社交网络的崛起,信息共享成为消费者行为的一个重要特征. 本文基于信息共享角度,在考虑消费者特基础上对商家的团购策略进行设计. 研究表明,随着信息共享难度或低信息消费者比例的增大,团购折扣价格家利润逐渐减小,但混合团购个人购买价格却先增后减; 同时,反从众、不从众和从众消费者的比例以及从性导致的保留价值差直接影响最优的团购策略; 而较高比例的等待敏感型消费者也会导致团购折扣价格的减小. 另外,只有当高低信息消费者之间的信息差较大且信息共享难度不大时,团购策略才优于传统边际策略.     

Description of rotational properties of the superheavy nucleus ^256,258,260Rf by projected shell model

Band structure of the Z = 104 nucleus 256Rf has been a recent research focus in nuclear physics. We performed projected shell model calculations for this and some other neighboring Rf isotopes. Specifically, we studied rotational properties of these nuclei and showed that variations in dynamic moment of inertia were sensitive to single-particle structures, which may be useful information for locating the anticipated island of stability. Electromagnetic transition properties were also calculated, and measurable quantities were predicted for further experimental test.

一种基于不确定度的证据冲突识别方法

从高度冲突证据对D-S证据理论的应用约束出发,针对几种常用冲突度量方法存在的问题,定义了描述证据自身特征的不确定度,将证据冲突涵义从证据间不一致扩展到证据内外,给出基于不确定度的证据冲突多元度量,并为增强冲突的识别效果提出最大差异度的冲突处理方法.验证分析得出:本文给出的度量方法能够有效表征证据间的冲突程度,最大冲突差异度的处理实现了证据冲突识别的显著化,在证据冲突度量与识别中具有很好的普适性和有效性.     

DanHong Injection inhibits the development of primary abdominal aortic aneurysms in apoE knockout mice

Clinical observations indicate that DanHong Injection （DHI） can increase blood flow and reduce various syndromes in patients with cardiovascular disease. How- ever, it still needs to define the function of DHI and the involved mechanisms in details, such as the protective effect on the development of primary abdominal aortic aneurysms （AAAs）. In this study, we determined whether DHI is able to inhibit AAA in apoE knockout （apoE-/-） mice. Thirty apoE-/- male mice on high-fat diet （0.5 % cholesterol, 21% fat） were randomly divided into two groups and received i.p. injection of saline （100 μL/day） and DHI （100 μL/day）, respectively, for 16 weeks. At the end of experiment, we determined the development of atherosclerosis in en face aorta and aneurysms,pathological morphology of arterial wall, and serum lipid levels. We also determined the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP-1）, MMP-2, and MMP-9 mRNA in aortic wall using real-time RT-PCR. Our results indicated that high-fat diet induced the development of AAAs in apoE-/- mice, but the induction was totally blocked by DHI （P 〈 0.01）. The result of staining of abdominal aortic cross sections showed that DHI main- tained the collagen content in arterial wall, thereby pre- venting the animals from the development of AAA. Although DHI had little effect on serum total- and LDL- cholesterol levels, it reduced the expression of MCP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 mRNA in aortic wall （P 〈 0.01）. Taken together, our study suggests that DHI can inhibit the high-fat diet-induced AAA formation. The inhibitory effects may be related to the maintenance of the collagen content and inhibition of expression of AAA-related genes. Our study may suggest a new application of DHI in clinics.     

城乡水务一体化管理综合评价与实证分析——以贵州城乡水务一体化为例

城乡水务一体化管理模式是处理涉水事务的行之有效的方式,它实现了由一个部门对地表水与地下水、水量与水质的统一规划与调度.该模式是一种全新的水务管理体制,也是我国管理涉水事务的一种发展趋势.目前我国大部分地区都基本实现了城乡水务一体化管理,但各个地区发展的程度有所不同.以贵州省为例,综合考虑城乡水务一体化管理的基本原则和目标,采用层次分析法对其管理现状进行综合评价研究.     

洁厕液对中华蟾蜍蝌蚪急性毒性及生长发育的影响

依据急性毒理实验方法设计实验,用简化机率单位法计算洁厕液对中华蟾蜍(Bufogargarizans)蝌蚪毒性的半数致死浓度(LC50)。设计亚急性实验(空白、7、14、28、56μL/L),研究低剂量洁厕液对蝌蚪生长发育的影响。急性毒理实验得出24、48、72、96 h的洁厕液对蝌蚪LC50为107.71、74.63、73.74、70.99μL/L。亚急性实验结果显示,实验组随着洁厕液浓度的上升,蝌蚪生长发育受到不同程度的抑制。在第10天,7、14μL/L浓度组和空白对照组中蝌蚪处于27期,28、56μL/L浓度组中蝌蚪处于26期。第20天,对照组的蝌蚪已进入37期,7μL/L浓度组处于36期,14、28μL/L浓度组中蝌蚪处于34期,56μL/L浓度组中蝌蚪处于32期。重复测量方差分析表明,洁厕液浓度和处理时间对蝌蚪体重体长有极显著影响(P<0.01)。因此,洁厕液对中华蟾蜍(Bufogargarizans)蝌蚪具有高毒性,并且抑制其生长发育。
