Identification and possible biological relevance of spermatozoal transglutaminase

Summary Normal human spermatozoa were demonstrated by dot immunoblot analysis and immunohistochemistry to possess transglutaminase (TGase). The immunological identification of spermatozoal TGase is consistent with reports by others of its biochemical identification and suggested role in sperm motility,and provides, in view of the immunoregulatory properties of seminal plasma TGase, presumptive identification of a means whereby spermatozoa, under normal physiological conditions, may possibly be protected from immunological attack within the female reproductive tract.     

Hepatic glucose signals vagally modulate the cyclicity of gastric motility in rats

The cyclicity and intensity of gastric motlity were examined following glucose injection into the portal vein with an intragastric balloon in anesthetized rats. Enhanced gastric motility caused by insulin administration was influenced by 4 mM glucose (25 l) injected into the portal vein; glucose provoked a shift in the cyclicity power spectrum without any change in intensity. The peak power spectrum shifted from 4.0–5.0 cpm to 2.0–3.0 cpm. Hepatic branch vagotomy abolished the response.The results suggest that glucose signals in the hepatic vagal branch modulate the cyclicity of gastric motiligy.     

瓦氏黄颡鱼精巢发育及精子生物学研究

瓦氏黄颡鱼精巢呈栉状分支，每一分支内部结构为叶型，精巢小叶由许多壶腹状的精小囊组成，精巢发育分为精原细胞增殖期、精母细胞生长期、精母细胞成熟期、精子细胞变态期、精子成熟期和精子退化吸收期，精子的发生和形成经历了精原细胞、精母细胞、精子细胞到成熟精子的一系列过程，精巢后1／3的精巢尾区由上皮细胞构成，既无生精功能也无贮精作用，成熟精子在0.45％～0.55％盐溶液和pH7.5的弱碱性的自然河水环境中保持的活性最好，并具有相当长的寿命。

低功率密度微波辐射对人细胞的非热效应

采用频率为２４５０ＭＨｚ，功率密度为３，５和７ｍＷ／ｃｍ＾２的微波照射人精子１ｈ，发现３ｍＷ／ｃｍ＾２和７ｍＷ／ｃｍ＾２的微波对人精子的活动度、存活率、畸形率和穿卵率没有任何影响，而５ｍＷ／ｃｍ＾２的微波对从精子的活动度、存活率、畸形率及其穿卵率有显著的影响。实现表明，微波的非热效应不仅存在，且在５ｍＷ／ｃｍ＾２附近有明显的功率密度窗效应。

Abnormal expression of centrosome protein (centrin) in spermatozoa of male human infertility

To study the relations between male infertility and centrosome protein (centrin) and the functions of centrin in spermatogenesis, the matured spermatozoa of 10 normal male people and 18 male infertility patients were stained by immunofluorescence labeling antibody against centrin. The results showed that two fluorescence signal dots appeared in the normal male spermatozoa and were located at the base of flagellum. They are proximal centriole and distal centriole. However, in some spermatozoa of the male infertility, centrin protein was located abnormally at the base of flagellum and its staining signals were spread, the normal proximal and distal centrioles were confused and could not be recognized separately. These results suggest that abnormality of centrosome protein may be related to male infertility. This discovery may be used as a marker of abnormal sperm and male infertility.

科学级冷却型CCD—荧光图像系统定量性能的鉴定

以荧光探针Ｈｏｅｃｈｓｔ３３３４２（Ｈｏ３３３４２）特异性标记大白鼠精子和肝细胞ＤＮＡ，用科学冷却型ＣＣＤ显微荧光图像系统获取单个细胞的荧光图像，再以图像处理软件“Ｉｍａｇｅ－Ｐｒｏ ＰＬｕｓ”，分析测量各细胞的ＤＮＡ相对含量和细胞核的相对面积。实验数据表明：鼠肝细胞的ＤＮＡ相对含量分别为精子的ＤＮＡ相对含量的２，４，８倍，符合生物学的规律，说明这套系统的定量结果是可靠的。
