Nα-quinaldyl-L-arginine·HCl,a new defensive alkaloid fromSubcoccinella-24-punctata (Coleoptera,Coccinellidae)

The isolation of N-quinaldyl-L-arginine·HCl (1) from the CoccinellidaeSubcoccinella-24-punctata is reported. The structure, first established on the basis of the analysis of the spectral properties of1, has been confirmed by synthesis. The alkaloid is of endogenous origin and markedly deterrent to ants.     

Molecular evidence for increased hematopoietic proliferation in the spleen of the b/b laboratory rat

The splenomegaly and the appearance of a significant number of CFU-E (erythroid colony-forming units) and BFU-E¹ (erythroid burst-forming units) in the Belgrade laboratory rat (b/b) spleen prompted us to analyse further the molecular evidence for increased hematopoietic proliferation in the b/b spleen. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) specific for globins, proteins for iron transport and deposition and the band 3 protein were used in rat erythropoietic tissues as markers for proliferation and erythroid differentiation. In the b/b spleen, all mRNAs analysed display an erythroid-specific pattern of expression. This analysis also revealed an enhanced level of mRNA for ferritin in the +/b spleen, whereas erythrocyte-specific mRNA production was normal.     

Antiviral activities of anthraquinones,bianthrones and hypericin derivatives from lichens

The antiviral activities of some naturally occurring anthraquinones bianthrones, and hypericin derivatives were compared by the end-point CPE (viral cytopathic effects) method and plaque assays. Under optimal conditions of exposure to light, hypericin, 7,7-dichlorohypericin and 5,7-dichloroemodin exhibited strong inhibitory activity against HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1) in both assays. Partial inactivation of the virus was shown by emodin, 7-chloroemodin and 7-chloro-1-O-methylemodin; the bianthrones and other anthraquinones were found to be inactive. Antiviral activity appeared to be, positively correlated with increasing substitution of chlorine in the anthraquinone structure. In the absence of light, only hypericin and 7,7-dichlorohypericin displayed detectable activity.     

Cyclophosphamide-impaired regulation of hepatic heme metabolism

Summary Im male rats hepatic cytochromes b₅ and P-450 were reduced at different times after treatment with cyclophosphamide (CP) (200 mg/kg i.p. for 3 days). In contrast, microsomal heme did not change until 48 h after the last dose of CP, leading to accumulation of heme in a non-cytochromal form. Parallel to the above changes the heme metabolism showed derangement: -aminolaevulinate synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme in heme synthesis, was depressed and heme oxygenase, the enzyme which catalyzes the oxidative degradation of heme, was increased.

区间矩阵Hurwitz稳定的充分及充要条件

区间矩阵稳定性问题是控制理论中十分棘手又无法回避的问题。利用向量比较原理，讨论了连续区间系统的稳定性，得到了区间矩阵Hurwitz稳定的充分(充要)条件。如果由区间矩阵端点构造的检验矩阵A0 D Hurwitz稳定，则区问矩阵Hurwitz稳定。     

终身体育与学校体育之比较研究

终身体育是现代体育重要的发展方向，终身体育也是新世纪的体育思想逻辑分析法，为了进一步理清终身体育与学校体育的关系，为培养合格人才探寻理论依据，本文运用文献资料法、调查访问法等研究方法，对终身体育与学校体育进行了对比研究。认为学校体育阶段在实现终身体育目标中有着重要作用，学校体育是终身体育的关键环节．深化学校教育改革，必须走与终身体育(学前体育、学校体育、学校后体育)相结合的道路；必须在终身体育总目标下，开拓人们对体育问题的思路。才能实现学校体育目标同终身体育目标的统一，未来学校体育的结构、内容、教法、管理、师资培养、远景规划等一系列问题都要在终身体育思想指导下进行创新和实验/

七月诗派与九叶诗派之比较

七月诗派与九叶诗派作为四十年代两峰对峙的诗歌流派,共同扎根于动荡的社会现实中,或侧重于乡村和对光明的歌颂,或侧重于城市和对黑暗的诅咒;在艺术上表现为心灵“突入”生活、抒情的张扬、自由诗体与心灵“溶解”生活、玄学的沉思、格律体的对立。
