内蒙古野豌豆属7种2变种染色体核型研究

本文研究了内蒙古野豌豆属7种2变种的染色体核型,其中Vicia pseudorobus,V.costata,V.gi-gantae,V.japonics,V.amaena ver.oblangifotia的核型为首次报道;同时对该属的染色体基数与核型之间的关系进行了讨论,认为其染色体基数与核型组成及结构特征之间具有一定相关性.     

关于雀科四种鸟的核型分析与探讨

鸟类染色体研究是一个新兴的研究领域。最近几年大约有六百多种鸟类的核型被报道,但是同科鸟之间核型的比较分析所见报道较少。本实验以雀形目中的四种鸟为实验材料,通过核型之间的比较和分析,探讨了鸟类染色体的多态性和四种鸟的亲缘关系及进化趋势。同时还探讨了PHA对鸟类核型影响。     

通海海菜花的核型研究

首次报道产于我国云南省的通海海菜花 (Otteliaacuminatavar.tonhaiensish .Li)的体细胞染色体数目和核型 ( 2n =2x =2 2 =1 8m 2sm 2st) .属“2B”型 ,与海菜花属 (Ottelia)的核型非常相近 ,这为进一步研究水鳖科海菜花属的系统演化提供了重要的细胞学资料     

Expression of recombinant human lysozyme in the milk of transgenic mice

Human lysozyme is a 130-aa (amino acid) alkaline polypeptide, and has both anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties which make it an important component of human natural immunity system. As a first step toward the ultimate goal of improving the anti-bacterial properties of bovine and ovine milk, a transgenic mouse that contains the genomic DNA sequence of the human lysozme gene has been generated for the first time. From 83 mice generated by microinjection, a total of 6 positive transgenic mice were identified by PCR and Southern blot. F1 mice positive for transgene in lines were also detected by PCR. This shows that transgene could be transmitted from founder transgenic mice to their offspring. Recombinant human lysozyme (rHlys) was found in the whey of 3 female positive transgenic mice by Western blot. The highest concentration of rHlys for transgenic mice was 0.2mg/mL. The antibacterial activity of the whey for transgenic mice was highly enhanced up to 0.4 times as much as that of human, while that of non-transgenic mouse was very low. Although the lysozyme activity of transgenic mice is still lower than that of human, the rHlys exhibits the same specific activity as that of human lysozyme. It provides a strong basis for further studies into the possible application of rHlys express in mammary gland.     

豆科锦鸡儿属云南锦鸡儿(Caragana franchetiana)染色体数目及核型研究

采取常规根尖压片法首次对豆科锦鸡儿属云南锦鸡儿进行了染色体数目和核型的分析统计。结果表明,云南锦鸡儿(Caragana franchetiana)为二倍体植物。其染色体数目2n=16,8对均为中部着丝粒染色体。核型公式为2n=2x=16=8m。最长染色体与最短染色体的长度比为1.2,臂比大于2的百分比为0,核型类别属于1A型,为较对称核型。没有观察到带随体的染色体。     

A venomous arthropod in the Early Cambrian Sea

A number of recently evolved animals possess poison glands for feeding and/or defense.However,examples of such animals are rare in the fossil record.We report a fossil arthropod Isoxys curvirostratus from the Early Cambrian Chengjiang biota of China.This species is regarded as the oldest known venomous arthropod based on the presence of venomous glands in its head region.The adult animal is 2-5 cm long and the body is covered entirely with a carapace.The presence of large stalk eyes and a pair of stout grasping appendages with a terminal spine suggest it was raptorial.Interestingly,the two pear-shaped,three-dimensionally preserved objects that are present in the head region and at the base of the grasping appendages closely resemble the venom glands of some living arthropods in size,shape,and position.These features indicate that the presence of venomous predators could date back 520 million years.Furthermore,our observations suggest that the feeding strategies and organs adapted for this purpose had already reached a high level of diversity and anatomical sophistication in the Early Cambrian ecosystems.     

Chromosome 17-linked dementias

Chromosome 17-linked dementias have been defined by linkage analysis. The most common of these syndromes has been estimated to be the cause of between 2 and 20% of all dementia and has alternately been called frontotemporal dementia, Pick's disease (without Pick bodies) and dementia lacking distinctive features [1 – 3]. The identification of the mutation responsible for these conditions in a group of clinically and pathologically heterogeneous disorders may allow us to gain broad insight into the processes of neurodegeneration.
