Cloning and characterization of 37 kD laminin receptor precursor in pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata

A 1063 bp cDNA clone encoding a putative 37 kDa laminin receptor precursor （37 kDa LRP） is isolated from the mantle tissue of pearl oyster, Pinctadafucata. The amino acid sequence predicted from the cDNA sequence is 301 residues long, with a calculated molecular mass of 33.5 kDa. RT-PCR analysis shows that 37 kDa LRP mRNA is especially highly expressed in the mantle while widely expressed in several tissues. In situ hybridization analysis reveals that 37 kDa LRP is expressed in the outer epithelial ceils of the mantle edge, suggesting its involvement in cell proliferation and secretion in P. fucata. The identification and characterization of 37 kDa LRP in the pearl oyster will help us to further understand the signal transduction in the processes of mantle epithelial cell proliferation and tissue formation.     

Localization of calmodulin and calmodulin-like protein and their functions in biomineralization in P. fucata

Calmodulin (CaM) and calmodulin-like protein (CaLP) are two proteins involved in biomineralization. Their localizations in Pinctada fucata mantle epithelia were studied by Western blot (WB) analysis of the nuclear/cytosol fraction of primary cultured Pinctada fucata mantle cells and immunogold electron microscopy. The results showed a completely different distribution of these two proteins at the subcellular level. CaM was distributed throughout both the nucleus and cytoplasm of the mantle epithelium but CaLP was distributed only in the cytoplasm. The functions of these two proteins in biomineralization were investigated by shell regeneration. During this process, the expressions of CaM and CaLP were greatly enhanced in different organelles of the mantle epithelium. Overexpression of these two proteins and a mutant of calmodulin-like protein (M-CaLP) that lacks an extra C-terminal tail in MC3T3-E1 promoted the mRNA expression of osteopontin, a biomineralization marker for osteoblasts. All of the results indicated that CaM and CaLP have completely different distributions in the mantle epithelium and affect the biomineralization process at different levels. The extra C-terminal tail of CaLP is important for its functions in biomineralization in Pinctada fucata.

存活心肌的检测

心肌梗塞后是否有活性成为冠心病治疗决策的关键,而检测心肌存活性的金标准-PET又难以在临床广泛使用。国内外大量的研究表明,存活心肌的检测以多巴酚丁胺超声心动图负荷实验、多巴酚丁胺心电图负荷实验及室壁运动分析、心肌声学造影等方法的特异性、敏感性高,且操作简便、迅速、安全可靠,最值得临床推广运用。     

相变特性对MgO—PSZ热膨胀特性的影响

采用热膨胀仪研究了MgO-PSZ陶瓷材料的热膨胀特性.试样在一定条件下烧结,经550～950 ℃热处理后发生了明显的单斜相→四方相相变,此低温相变降低了MgO-PSZ的热膨胀率,其相变产生的体积收缩与受热产生的体积膨胀相互抵消,使试样表现出零膨胀特性,从而改善了材料的抗热震性能.
