偏头痛的遗传:从性性状的遗传假说

偏头痛被公认为一种家族高聚集性神经系统疾病 ,尽管欧美白种人群的患病率远高于亚洲人种 ,但全球范围内的患病率女性是男性的 2～ 4倍却是恒定的 .临床及遗传医学仅仅沿用常染色体显性或染色体隐性遗传、多基因遗传及线粒体遗传理论均不能满意地解释所有家系的特征 ,笔者率先在国际上提出的从性性状遗传模式sex conditionedgeneticmodel(即男性为常隐、女性为常显遗传 )似可较好地解释偏头痛复杂的“不一致”的遗传方式 .自然界中的生物体内一条染色体的基因会对另一条染色体致病基因的表达实施功能调控 ,此种遗传疾病范例在遗传性秃顶、肝豆状核变性等症中已得到验证 .当然对于环境的因素也有待考虑 ,时下对于复杂遗传病的研究正是最富有挑战性的 .     

Activation of a C. elegans Antennapedia homologue in migrating cells controls their direction of migration.

Anterior-posterior patterning in insects, vertebrates and nematodes involves members of conserved Antennapedia-class homeobox gene clusters (HOM-C) that are thought to give specific body regions their identities. The effects of these genes on region-specific body structures have been described extensively, particularly in Drosophila, but little is known about how HOM-C genes affect the behaviours of cells that migrate into their domains of function. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the Antennapedia-like HOM-C gene mab-5 not only specifies postembryonic fates of cells in a posterior body region, but also influences the migration of mesodermal and neural cells that move through this region. Here we show that as one neuroblast migrates into this posterior region, it switches on mab-5 gene expression; mab-5 then acts as a developmental switch to control the migratory behaviour of the neuroblast descendants. HOM-C genes can therefore not only direct region-specific patterns of cell division and differentiation, but can also act within migrating cells to programme region-specific migratory behaviour.     

岩芯筒压入地层的塑性力学问题

摘要首先从库仑定律出发导出了地层介质塑性流动条件。其结果类似于一般塑性力学中的Tresca,Mises条件。其次列出了轴对称地层塑性流动的微分方程组,并推出了其简化近似方程。最后提出了简化方程的特征线解法,并举例说明。
