鲁克沁构造带稠油成藏机制研究

吐哈盆地台南凹陷鲁克沁构造带中的北西走向断层受挤压强烈 ,封闭性好 ;而北东走向断层封闭性差 ,常成为油气运移的良好通道。由于本区断块圈闭的有效性差 ,故不具备大规模聚集稀油的条件 ,但对稠变到一定程度的稠油能起较好的封堵作用。鲁克沁构造带高粘重质油的形成是原油运移和成藏阶段双重稠变作用的结果 ,并且油气的聚集是一个动态的过程。随着原油的逐渐稠变 ,所需要的封堵条件逐渐降低 ,油气的聚集过程才趋于稳定。鲁克沁构造带构造后期变革主要表现在构造幅度的增大 ,而未发生强烈的断裂作用 ,因此 ,前侏罗系油藏得以完好地保存     

Laccase production byPolyporus sanguineus under different nutritional and environmental conditions

Summary Laccase production was higher in malt extract medium than in lignin, andPolyporus sanguineus appears to be better thanPolyporus versicolor andTrametes hirsuta (syn.Polyporus hirsutus) for enzyme production. Phenolic compounds, of which resorcinol was the most active, induced enzyme production; while sugars repressed it. A temperature of 37°C, pH 3 and indulin AT at a concentration of 0.2% gave the best enzyme yield.A part of Ph. D. thesis of D.S. Arora.Acknowledgments.

求取剩余油饱和度的一种实用方法

分析了水驱油田地质、测井及开发动态特征，提出了用生产井含水率资料结合测井资料求取产层平均剩余油饱和度的方法。阐述了该方法的基本模型和计算过程，并以实例计算说明了这种方法的实际应用效果。结果表明，该方法操作简便、实用性强、计算结果可靠，且能准确反映储层的剩余油分布特征。这种方法也避免了水淹层混合液电阻率、岩电系数和水淹层电阻率求取值失真的影响。     

Genome-wide association analysis identifies 20 loci that influence adult height

Adult height is a model polygenic trait, but there has been limited success in identifying the genes underlying its normal variation. To identify genetic variants influencing adult human height, we used genome-wide association data from 13,665 individuals and genotyped 39 variants in an additional 16,482 samples. We identified 20 variants associated with adult height (P < 5 x 10(-7), with 10 reaching P < 1 x 10(-10)). Combined, the 20 SNPs explain approximately 3% of height variation, with a approximately 5 cm difference between the 6.2% of people with 17 or fewer 'tall' alleles compared to the 5.5% with 27 or more 'tall' alleles. The loci we identified implicate genes in Hedgehog signaling (IHH, HHIP, PTCH1), extracellular matrix (EFEMP1, ADAMTSL3, ACAN) and cancer (CDK6, HMGA2, DLEU7) pathways, and provide new insights into human growth and developmental processes. Finally, our results provide insights into the genetic architecture of a classic quantitative trait.     

Primary structure of the precursor to the three major surface antigens of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites

Recently, a class of protein antigens of high relative molecular mass (Mt) which can induce protective immunity against blood-stage malaria has been identified. In Plasmodium falciparum the protein has a Mr of approximately 195,000 (P195). It is the precursor of three proteins of Mr 83,000 (83K), 42K and 19K which are the major surface antigens of merozoites; thus it may also be useful for immunization against P. falciparum. Three studies describing the isolation of single short complementary DNA clones for part of the P195 gene sequence have been reported. Here we describe the complete structure of the P195 gene determined from further DNA clones, its organization within genomic DNA and the location of the specific processing fragments within the primary amino-acid sequence.     

Utilization of iron from ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid-iron chelate complex in culture medium by Fusarium

Zusammenfassung In der für Kulturen vonFusarium lycopersici verwendeten Richard-Nährlösung kann die Bildung von unlöslichem Eisenphosphat durch Äthylendiamintetraessigsäure (EDTA, Komplexon III) verhindert werden. Das Myzelwachstum des Pilzes ist bei Zugabe des Komplexbildners eher besser; der Eisengehalt des Myzels bleibt ungefähr gleich. Im Unterschied zu Versuchen mit andern Pilzen wirkt also Komplexon III hier nicht toxisch.     

Common variants in WFS1 confer risk of type 2 diabetes

We studied genes involved in pancreatic beta cell function and survival, identifying associations between SNPs in WFS1 and diabetes risk in UK populations that we replicated in an Ashkenazi population and in additional UK studies. In a pooled analysis comprising 9,533 cases and 11,389 controls, SNPs in WFS1 were strongly associated with diabetes risk. Rare mutations in WFS1 cause Wolfram syndrome; using a gene-centric approach, we show that variation in WFS1 also predisposes to common type 2 diabetes.     

Flow signaling and atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis rarely develops in the region of arteries exposed to undisturbed flow (u-flow, unidirectional flow). Instead, atherogenesis occurs in the area exposed to disturbed flow (d-flow, multidirectional flow). Based on these general pathohistological observations, u-flow is considered to be athero-protective, while d-flow is atherogenic. The fact that u-flow and d-flow induce such clearly different biological responses in the wall of large arteries indicates that these two types of flow activate each distinct intracellular signaling cascade in vascular endothelial cells (ECs), which are directly exposed to blood flow. The ability of ECs to differentially respond to the two types of flow provides an opportunity to identify molecular events that lead to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. In this review, we will focus on various molecular events, which are differentially regulated by these two flow types. We will discuss how various kinases, ER stress, inflammasome, SUMOylation, and DNA methylation play roles in the differential flow response, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis. We will also discuss the interplay among the molecular events and how they coordinately regulate flow-dependent signaling and cellular responses. It is hoped that clear understanding of the way how the two flow types beget each unique phenotype in ECs will lead us to possible points of intervention against endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases.
