IGF-PI3K-Akt信号通路在生理性心肌肥大中的作用研究进展

心肌肥大是心肌细胞对多种刺激因素的复杂反应。心肌肥大可以分为三种:心肌的正常生长、运动诱导生理性心肌肥大和病理性心肌肥大。近年来,研究表明心肌的正常生长以及运动诱导的心肌生理性肥大,主要是通过IGF-PI3K-Akt信号通路进行信号转导。本文就IGF-PI3K-Akt信号转导通路的结构特点、调节过程作一综述。     

断裂带作为油气散失通道的输导能力

通过断裂散失的油气量主要与断裂带的输导能力、实际进入断裂带的油气量、断裂通道的长度、散失时间和储层分流系数等参数有关。断裂带输导能力的主要因素是断裂带的宽度和储层渗透率。利用断裂散失模型计算了不同规模的断裂带作为油气散失通道的输导能力。计算结果表明 ,大型断裂带输导油气的能力远大于储层输导油气的能力。断裂活动期进入“通天”大断裂带的油气主要趋于散失 ;小断裂由于储层的分流作用 ,即使在活动期 ,它作为油气散失通道的作用也是有限的 ,其油气的散失量可以忽略不计。     

The phytotoxins ofMycosphaerella fijiensis,the causative agent of Black Sigatoka disease of bananas and plantains

Black Sigatoka is the most costly to control disease of bananas and plantains in the world. Currently, a worldwide search is underway either to find or to produce cultivars that are disease-resistant or-tolerant. Phytotoxins isolated from the pathogen might facilitate the discovery of such cultivars. Several aromatic compounds from liquid cultures ofMycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of Black Sigatoka disease of bananas and plantains, have been isolated. The most abundant and phytotoxic of these compounds is 2,4,8-trihydroxytetralone, which induces necrotic lesions at 5 g/5 l in less than 12 h on sensitive cultivars of bananas. This compound exhibits host-selectivity that mimics that of the pathogen. Other phytotoxins isolated from this fungus, in lesser amounts, were juglone, the novel compound 2-carboxy-3-hydroxycinnamic acid, isoochracinic acid and 4-hydroxyscytalone. Some of the phytotoxins isolated are melanin shunt pathway metabolites, which makes this fungus unique among plant pathogens.     

Milestone of the meridian science──970th anniversary of the Chinese Bronze Statue of Meridian

For more than a thousand years, Chinese people were aware of the transmitted sensations by the application of needles on the body surface. This practice is called acupuncture. Acupuncture had been recorded and transcribed in writings and in drawings, until finally the acupoints were inscribed onto a bronze statue. The bronze statue was called the Meridian Figure. Deeply embodied in the bronze statue is a tripartite confrontation-prism representation of the humans body. This concept was a great scientific achievement in ancient China. The author traces the history of Meridian science described in traditional Chinese medical terms. Then he explores a clear analogy of the meridian pathway (MP) phenomenon. In a model system, by using a simple segmental in vertebrate, certain parallels can be demonstrated with the meridian concept. For example, the author demonstrated a clear correlation rule among the central mechano-sensory channels, and characteristics of positional discrimination in individual nerve cells from different receptive field inputs. The evidence suggests that the MP phenomenon is an objective neurobiological response. To clarify the research objective in this paper, the author suggests that the MP is a bi-directional pathway along which a positional message signal is transmitted. This phenomenon is evoked by physical stimulation, transmitted linearly across the human body segments, and is perceived by the brain. The MP consists of low resistance paths, is connected by the liquid media contained in the apposite membranous structure. At the cellular level, the regulation functions of MP must pass through along this low resistance path. Two aspects of the modern Meridian research are the functional regulation and the mechanism of intercellular liquid modulation at the nanometer level.     

电离辐射引发细胞凋亡的信号通路

电离辐射诱发细胞产生凋亡与细胞的辐射敏感性有关，而辐射的生物学效应则因其引发细胞凋亡的信号通路不同而有差异。辐射诱发凋亡作用过程至少包括SAPK／JNK信号通路及依赖于DNA损伤、依赖于胞质电离损伤和依赖于质膜损伤的四种信号通路。本文就辐射诱发细胞凋亡的信号传导途径进行简介。     

野生大豆DNA导入小麦及RAPD分子验证

利用花粉管通道法将野生大豆总DNA导入小麦，以期获得变异系小麦．对小麦球蛋白的SDS—PAGE，印迹表明，冬小麦T2l6#产生了新的蛋白亚基，其分子量为78kD，而有的变异品系一些蛋白亚基消失了；凯氏定氮法和氨基酸分析表明小麦后代T216#的总蛋白含量增加，其氨基酸组成，尤其是赖氨酸含量明显提高．RAPD分析结果表明，新品系基因组出现多态性，并具有供体特异性DNA带，这些变异现象表明该小麦品系为转基因后代．本实验为选育高蛋白、优质的新小麦品种提供了途径．

Inducing dopaminergic differentiation of expanded rat mesencephalic neural stem cells by ascorbic acid in vitro

Ascorbic acid (AA) induced differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) into dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons is reported.NSCs derived from rat mesencephalon were maintained and expanded in a defined medium containing mitogens of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF).Compared with the control, ascorbic acid treatment led to more DAergic neuronal differentiation as indicated by the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine transporter (DAT), which are specific markers of dopamine neurons.AA induction also enhanced expression of Nurr1 and Shh.PD98059, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway, could block AA-induced Nurr1, TH and DAT mRNA expression.The results might suggest a new strategy to provide enough dopaminergic cells for the therapy of Parkinson's disease (PD), and Nurr1 and ERK signaling pathway might participate in the AA-induced DAergic differentiation.
