Effect of 15(R)-15-methyl-prostaglandin E2 on iron absorption in the rat

Summary The administration of 15(R)-15-methyl prostaglandin E₂ (15(R)-15-M-PGE₂) in vivo significantly diminished the uptake of⁵⁹Fe into blood, spleen, liver, femur and dried intestine of rats, whereas acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) increased the counts significantly. This effect of ASA was counteracted by 15(R)-15-M-PGE₂. It is suggested that prostaglandins (PGs) might play an important role in inhibiting iron absorption at the intestinal level.This work was supported by grant No.6638 from CONICET (Argentina).

济阳坳陷红柳地区构造坡折带层序地层学模式与含油气性的关系

在对地震、测井和钻井等资料详细分析的基础上，将济阳坳陷红柳地区在下第三系划分出了7个三级层序，19个体系域．其中层序Ⅰ、层序Ⅳ为两个T-R层序分为两个体系域，即湖扩展和高位体系域，其他层序均为三分层序，划分为三个体系域即低位、湖扩展（水进）和高位体系域．在层序地层单元划分和对比的基础上，结合断层上下盘地层厚度的差异和地层厚度的变化反映古地形，认为济阳坳陷红柳地区在下第三系沉积时期，发育两种不同类型的构造坡折带，并建立了该区的构造坡折带层序地层学模式，研究了构造坡折带层序地层学模式与含油气性的关系，认为第Ⅰ、Ⅱ层序间的界面附近可形成有利的地层不整合覆盖圈闭与构造一岩性圈闭；第Ⅳ层序低位域可作为油气的运载层，在合适构造的匹配下，可形成有利的构造圈闭或构造-岩性圈闭，对有利区带做出了预测．     

固体类流态与地震的相似性研究

固体类流态的研究能够为地震机理研究和地震预报提供一种动态的具有物理意义的方法.作者应用OLYMPUS显微镜和安装在该显微镜上的PanasonicF10高速摄像机,拍录到在常温常压下固态合金中存在的除气、液、固三态之外的运动状态———类流态.应用Sandbox方法和VC 程序实现了图像的数据化和动力学过程的研究,并对地震形成过程中裂缝丛集、扩展和类流态胞区产生裂纹进行对比分析.在绝对分形一致的情况下,应用类流态振荡的时间序列检验四川和新疆等地区1996年～2001年的地震发生情况,符合效果较好.从而为地震预报和孕震机理等方面研究提供了一种动态的具有物理意义的新方法.     

Pragmatism in Economic Methodology: The Duhem-Quine Thesis Revisited

Contemporary developments in economicmethodology have produced a vibrant agenda ofcompeting positions. These include, amongothers, constructivism, critical realism andrhetoric, with each contributing to the Realistvs. Pragmatism debate in the philosophies of thesocial sciences. A major development in theneo-pragmatist contribution to economicmethodology has been Quine's pragmatic assaulton the dogmas of empiricism, which are nowclearly acknowledged within contemporaryeconomic methodology. This assault isencapsulated in the celebrated Duhem-Quinethesis, which according to a number ofcontemporary leading philosophers of economics,poses a particularly serious methodologicalproblem for economics. This problem, asreflected in Hausman's analysis, consists ofthe inability of economics to learn fromexperience, thereby subverting the capacity totest economic theories. In this paper wedispute this position. Our argument is basedon a combination of Quine's holism with VanFraassen's constructive empiricism, especiallythe latter's analysis of empirical adequacy andhis pragmatic approach to explanation. Theresulting reorientation of economic methodologyrestores the capacity of economics to learnfrom experience and reinstates the imperativeof developing alternatives to orthodoxtheorizing in economics.     

Coalignment of vimentin intermediate filaments with microtubules depends on kinesin.

Intermediate filaments in most types of cultured cells coalign with microtubules. Depolymerization of microtubules results in collapse of vimentin and desmin intermediate filaments to the nucleus where they form a perinuclear cap. Collapse can also be induced by microinjection of antibodies against intermediate filament or microtubule proteins. Thus, two filament systems interact with each other. But the molecules mediating this interaction are unknown. One of the candidates for this role is a microtubule motor kinesin. Recent data showed that kinesin is involved in the plus end-directed movement of the membranous organelles along microtubules such as radial extension of lysosomes in macrophages and centrifugal movement of pigment in melanophores. Here we report that injection of the anti-kinesin antibody into human fibroblasts results in the redistribution of intermediate filaments to a tight perinuclear aggregate but had no effect on the distribution of microtubules. Thus, kinesin is involved not only in organelle movement but also in interaction of the two major cytoskeletal systems, intermediate filaments and microtubules.     

MeV Pb离子在非晶Si中的射程离散──离子束混合和增强扩散的影响

１．０ＭｅＶ２０８Ｐｂ离子在非晶Ｓｉ中的投影射程ＲＰ和射程偏差ΔＲＰ作为注量和温度二者的函数用背散射法进行测定．注量的变化范围为５×１０１３～７×１０１４ｃｍ－２．注入是在室温和ｔ＝－１２０℃下完成的．由由实验所确定的投影射程，射程偏差与注量或温度无关，并且分别等于２９５和７２．２ｎｍ．与ＴＲＩＭ８６的计算结果相比较，发现ＲＰ的偏离为１８％，而ΔＲＰ的偏离为３６％．ＲＰ和ΔＲＰ二者与注量及温度的无关性，排除了所观察到的与ＴＲＩＭ的矛盾是由于注入期间辐射增强扩散或离子束混合效应而引起的解释。
