基于GIS的通信光缆故障检修保障系统

光缆一旦发生故障将严重影响正常通信。为了解决光缆故障带来的严重后果,根据光缆网络在地理分布上的空间及环境特征,以地理信息系统(GIS)为基础对光缆及沿线信息实现空间数据库的管理和对故障位置的快速、准确定位,同时给出故障地点及周围的地形地貌等多媒体信息;结合GIS的缓冲区和路径分析功能,搜寻到达光缆故障点的最佳路径,并进一步给出处理故障的应急决策方案。该应用在有效的管理通信光缆资源,缩短抢修时间,减少因故障的发生而带来的损失方面取得了满意的效果。     

基于J2EE构架的药物与靶点综合数据库及其查询系统（DTDB）的设计与实现

本文扼要介绍了作者收集、整理目前已发现的所有药物及其作用靶点的相关信息,并整合现代分子生物、药物、化学等的最新进展,采用业界领先的Java的j2ee框架,建立一个综合的数据库系统的过程。同时在该综合数据库系统的基础上,嵌入药物分子和靶点的对接技术,使得我们的系统除用于一般的药物分子和靶点查询之外,还能实现基于分子反向对接的虚拟筛选和通过药物分子寻找其作用的潜在蛋白靶点。本数据库暂时只能本机访问,对外访问地址尚在建设中。     

A new simple temperature-controlled membrane oxygenator for the perfusion of isolated rat livers

A new temperature-controlled membrane oxygenator for perfusing isolated rat livers was assembled using a combination of heat-exchangeable rubber tubing and silicon rubber tubing. The apparatus supplied enough oxygen to satisfy the requirements of hemoglobin-free perfused livers.     

Acute toxicity of folic acid in mice

The toxicity of folic acid (PGA) was studied in different inbred strains of mice. LD50 values of PGA by the i.p. route showed a unique toxicity pattern. In some strains, convulsions, ataxia and weakness were observed. Histopathological study in strains S/RVCri, BDF1, DBA/2 and DBA/2fNCri showed acute renal tubular necrosis.     

Optical monitoring of activity of many neurons in invertebrate ganglia during behaviors

Optical methods for monitoring neuron activity were developed because these methods lend themselves to simultaneous multiple-site measurements. With the use of new voltage-sensitive dyes, the dye-related pharmacology and photodynamic damage appear to be relatively unimportant. Using multiple-site measurements made with a 124-element photodiode array, we estimated that approximately 30 of the 200 neurons present in the Navanax buccal ganglion make action potentials during feeding and that approximately 300 of the 1100 neurons present in the Aplysia abdominal ganglion are active during the gill-withdrawal reflex. The fact that a light mechanical touch to the siphon skin activated such a large number of neurons in the abdominal ganglion suggests that understanding the neuronal basis of the gill-withdrawal reflex and its behavioral plasticity may be forbiddingly difficult.

Selective killing of smooth muscle cells in culture by the ricin A-chain conjugated with monoclonal antibodies to a cell surface antigen via a dextran bridge

Monoclonal antibodies to a surface antigen of the modulated smooth muscle cells originally isolated from the rat aorta media were conjugated with ricin A-chain via an oxidized dextran bridge. The interaction of cultured cells with the conjugates obtained and with control substances was monitored following incorporation of 14C-leucine radioactivity. It was found that 14C-leucine incorporation was suppressed by 80-90% at a conjugate concentration of 10(-6)-10(-7) M. Antigen-negative cells (line IAR; rat hepatocytes) were insensitive to the conjugate at any concentration used. Control use of purified ricin A-chain, native or oxidized dextran, specific and nonspecific IgG did not affect normal 14C-leucine incorporation. The data obtained may be useful for designing targeted drug transport systems and for selective screening of modulated smooth cells in vascular pathology models in vivo.     

Hormone and forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in human lymphocytes: reliability of longitudinal time measurements

Reliability of measurement of lymphocyte cyclic AMP synthesis in intact cells was estimated by taking 3 successive blood samples during a one-month period from 11 healthy volunteers. Isoproterenol and prostaglandin E1-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation were used to evaluate the activity of these two receptor activities in human lymphocytes. Forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation was used to evaluate the activity of the Ns/catalytic subunit. Only for forskolin was significant reliability observed. For isoproterenol and prostaglandin E1 significant reliability was observed only for male subjects.     

Organization and sequences of the variable, joining and constant region genes of the human T-cell receptor alpha-chain

An essential property of the immune system is its ability to generate great diversity in antibody and T-cell immune responses. The genetic and molecular mechanisms responsible for the generation of antibody diversity have been investigated during the past several years. The gene for the variable (V) region, which determines antigen specificity, is assembled when one member of each of the dispersed clusters of V gene segments, diversity (D) elements (for heavy chains only) and joining (J) segments are fused by DNA rearrangement. The cloning of the beta-chain of the T-cell antigen receptor revealed that the organization of the beta-chain locus, which is similar to that of immunoglobulin genes, is also composed of noncontiguous segments of V, D, J and constant (C) region genes. The structure of the alpha-chain seems to consist of a V and a C domain connected by a J segment. We report here that the human T-cell receptor alpha-chain gene consists of a number of noncontiguous V and J gene segments and a C region gene. The V region gene segment is interrupted by a single intron, whereas the C region contains four exons. The J segments, situated 5' of the C region gene, are dispersed over a distance of at least 35 kilobases (kb). Signal sequences, which are presumably involved in DNA recombination, are found next to the V and J gene segments.
