Cycles of juvenile hormone esterase activity during the juvenile hormone-driven cycles of oxygen consumption in pupal diapause of flesh flies

Summary During diapause O₂ consumption in fly pupae is a cyclic event (4-day periodicity at 25°C) driven by cycles of juvenile hormone activity. Levels of juvenile hormone esterase activity change systematically during the cycle, with highest activity observed at the nadir of the O₂ consumption cycle.Supported in part by grant 88-37153-3473 from the USDA Competitive Grants Office and grant 23-088 from the USDA Forest Service.

林木病害早期诊断技术的研究

本文综合前人成果,利用开发的植物病害诊断仪对林木枝干典型毁灭性传染性病害腐烂病等和常见的生理性病害低温灾害的试验,证明仪器对多种林木的根、茎、果实上的病害位置、大小、发病时期能够测试,对处于未显症的绝大多数非传染性病害和隐蔽部位已显症的病斑有100%的准确率,甚至还能检测部分潜育的病斑。因此对植物病害的早期诊断有实用意义。不但使业者获得节约开支、提高产量和质量等实惠,而且有大幅降低农药用量、减少次数、减少大气、水、产品药残等一系列的生态环境效益。     

关于内分泌激素的Logistic建模分析

随着Logistic回归分析模型近年在医学资料分析中逐渐得到认可,本文采用Logistic回归方法对乳腺肿瘤病与六种内分泌激素的病理学关系进行了分析,建立了该病与相关变量的关系模型,分析出在其它自变量不变时,有统计意义的某自变量任两水平间的发生比与对应结果y取任何值的概率间大小关系,并作出判断相关激素与乳腺疾病关系的激素范围,取得了符合病理学理论和临床经验的结果,对相关激素与乳腺疾病关系的研究、临床诊断和教学有参考价值.     

攻击行为生理机制的研究进展

攻击的生理机制是近年来该领域的研究重点之一．已有研究发现，性激素是造成攻击行为的性别差异的重要因素．体内5-HT的浓度越低，攻击性越高．激素通过下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴对攻击行为产生影响．颞叶和前额叶与攻击有关，这在人类病理及健康被试均得以证实．但攻击行为的生理机制仍不清楚，论文总结了该领域研究存在的不足并展望进一步的研究趋势．     

Head critical period and juvenile hormone titre during the last larval instar of the cockroach,Periplaneta americana

From neck ligation experiments with last instar larvae of the cockroachPeriplaneta americana it was concluded that the head critical period is reached around day 17, which corresponds to 59% of the last larval stage. At the same stage the juvenile hormone III titre in the hemolymph dropped to undectable levels.

Ecdysteroid-dependent larval-adult oviduct transformation in the milkweed bugOncopeltus fasciatus requires absence of juvenile hormone

Summary It has been tested whether juvenile hormone plays a role in the larval-adult transformation of lateral oviducts in the milkweed bug. The transformation is ecdysteroid-dependent, as was reported previously². Application of precocene or juvenile hormone III proved that the absence of juvenile hormone is required.Acknowledgments.

利用非损伤法分析鳄蜥粪便激素水平的变化

利用粪便样品检测性腺类固醇激素代谢水平在很多物种中已得到有效应用,但是在爬行动物中相应的研究还较少。2011年5-10月对广东罗坑自然保护区的10只(5雄5雌)鳄蜥进行粪便采样,采用乙醇加热法提取粪便中类固醇激素,并采用酶联免疫法成功检测鳄蜥粪便中雌二醇、睾酮和孕酮的浓度。研究结果显示:雄性个体睾酮水平在6月份有明显升高,提示6月份可能是鳄蜥的主要发情期;在进入冬眠前的10月份,鳄蜥怀孕个体的孕酮水平明显升高,与5月份的孕酮水平差异显著(LSD:P<0.05);雌性怀孕和非怀孕个体雌二醇水平无季节性变化,因此认为雌二醇有可能在鳄蜥繁殖周期中并不起重要作用。     

重组人甲状旁腺素(rhPTH(1-84))的原核表达及发酵条件初步优化

 甲状旁腺激素(Parathyroid Hormone,PTH)是治疗骨质疏松症的药物之一.将人工合成全长人PTH(hPTH(1-84))的核苷酸序列插入pThioHis A载体中,然后转化大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli.),在IPTG的诱导下,成功实现了rhPTH(1-84)的原核表达.通过发酵条件的优化,初步确定1:40接种LB+30%M9盐溶液的发酵培养基,37℃培养至OD600 nm=0.8时,加入终浓度为0.6 mmol/L的IPTG,诱导8 h的较优发酵程序.
