Selective protection of cells against X-irradiation. Isoproterenol protects only those cells that possesβ-adrenoreceptors

Summary In mixed culture of Chinese hamster fibroblatst, clone 431, and transformed murine L fibroblasts, clone B-82, isoproterenol was found to protect only 431 cells against ionizing radiation. It was shown that 431 cells, in contrast to B-82 cells, possess-adrenoreceptors, and the radioprotective effect of isoproterenol can be realized only if this agent interacts with-adrenoreceptors coupled with the cAMP system. Since malignization often causes the disappearance of-adrenergic and other hormone receptors, the combined culturing and irradiation of the cells studied can be regarded as a model of the growth of malignant cells (B-82) among normal tissue cells (431 cells) under conditions of radiation therapy. A possibility of selective protection against radiation damage of normal tissue cells, with retention of the former radiosensitivity of tumor cells, is discussed.     

Gigantecin: A novel antimitotic and cytotoxic acetogenin,with nonadjacent tetrahydrofuran rings,fromGoniothalamus giganteus (Annonaceae)

Summary Gigantecin (I), a novel tetrahydroxy-di-tetrahydrofuran fatty acid -lactone (acetogenin), was isolated from an ethanolic extract of the stem bark ofGoniothalamus giganteus Hook. f., Thomas (Annonaceae), by means of activity-directed fractionation (brine shrimp lethality test). This new compound is extremely cytotoxic to human tumor cells, inhibits crown gall tumors on potato discs, and is active in an assay designed to detect antimitotic agents (9 ASK).     

还原论思维方式的终结

“还原”一词有多重含义,通常被区分为以下三个层次：本体论还原,方法论还原和理论还原,在我看来,本体论还原不过是唯物论二,一个基本命题,而方法论还原也仅仅是分析方法,没有会么新意,实际,还原论者真正关头的是理还原,而这又被证明是失败的。因此,我主张科学在未来世纪的进步取决于人们摆脱还原思维方式的程度。

用电化学金属阳极氧化法在非水溶剂中合成了苯甲醛缩氨基硫脲（ＨＬ）与Ｃｕ（Ｉ）、Ｚｎ（Ⅱ）配合物,通过元素分析、红外光谱、紫外光谱、磁矩、摩尔电导等对配合物进行了表征。     

取食天然饲料与人工饲料的大蜡螟Galleria mellonella的生长发育差异比较

在温度为35±1℃、相对湿度为65±5％及全黑暗的条件下,对取食天然饲料和人工饲料的大蜡螟Galleria mellonella(L.)的生长发育进行了观察。在天然饲料中,以中蜂巢脾为食的大蜡螟生长发育最好,意蜂巢脾次之,蜂蜡不能很好地使大蜡螟完成发育。试验采用来源广泛且价格低廉的麸糠、面粉和玉米粉为主要原料配制成人工饲料供大蜡螟取食,与供食中蜂巢脾的大蜡螟比较,蛹重、成虫寿命、产卵量均无显著差异,但幼虫历期明显缩短6.8天。     

New bounds on time and number of processors for multiprocessor optimal schedules

Two problems for task schedules in a multiprocessor parallel system are discussed in this paper:

1. Given a partially ordered set of tasks represented by the vertices of an acyclic directed graph with their corresponding processing times, derive the lower bound on the minimum time(LBMT) needed to process the task graph for a given number of processors.
2. Determine the lower bound on minimum number of processors(LBMP) needed to complete those tasks in minimum time. It is shown that the proposed LBMT is sharper than previously known values and the computational aspects of these bounds are also discussed.

Conversion of mammalian cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase into modulator-dependent protein kinase (type II) in vitro

The spontaneous conversion of mammalian cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (G-PK) into modulator-dependent protein kinase (type II) (M-PKII) in the absence of cGMP or histone was observed in vitro. The findings, together with similarity in substrate protein specificity, suggest that M-PKII is the catalytic subunit of mammalian G-PK.
