鼠Tcp11l1基因的结构与表达分析

为了分析鼠Tcp11l1基因的结构和表达,从小鼠睾丸组织总cDNA中扩增鼠Tcp11l1基因的开读框架(Open reading frame,ORF),定向克隆到真核表达载体pEGFP-N1,构建融合表达质粒pTcp11l1-EGFP,转染HEK293细胞,荧光显微镜下观察Tcp11l1基因的亚细胞定位;设计跨小鼠Tcp11l1基因两个外显子的引物,RT-PCR分析此基因在小鼠各组织中的表达情况.并利用生物信息学的方法对鼠Tcp11l1基因的结构进行初步预测.转染pTcp11l1-EGFP后在胞质中能明显看到绿色荧光信号,而在胞核和胞膜中无绿色荧光信号,表明鼠Tcp11l1蛋白定位于细胞质;RT-PCR分析结果表明,鼠Tcp11l1基因在小鼠各组织中广泛表达.生物信息学结果表明,鼠Tcp11l1和鼠Tcp11的蛋白具有相同的TCP11结构域,不能确定是否存在跨膜序列.鼠Tcp11l1基因和鼠Tcp11基因具有相似的亚细胞定位和TCP11结构域,表明这两个基因可能具有相似的受体功能.但是与Tcp11特异表达于睾丸组织的延长精细胞和精子不同,Tcp11l1为广泛表达,说明Tcp11l1可能在多种组织细胞中发挥作用.     

在烷基聚葡糖苷W/O微乳液中Novozym 435脂肪酶催化酯合成反应动力学的研究

研究了Novozym435脂肪酶在烷基聚葡糖苷形成的W／O微乳液体系中,催化正丁醇与正己酸合成酯的反应动力学．反应初始速率V0与正丁醇（ROH）和正己酸（HA）摩尔浓度的比值（CROH^0／CHA^0）有关,在CROH^0／CHA^0=0．2-17范围内,随CROH^0／CHA^0比值减小,初始速率V0增大,尤其是当CROH^0／CHA^0〈3时,V0迅速增大．其原因可能是醇浓度较高时,醇与酶结合形成的死端复合物在较高浓度酸的作用下分解,重新析出游离态酶所致．脂肪酶加入量、水相介质组成和醇的种类等对反应速率有重要影响．     

Modified Edman degradation applied to hemoglobin for monitoring occupational exposure to alkylating agents

A method that can be used for the monitoring of exposure to alkylating agents in the environment is presented. It is based on the quantification of alkylated N‐terminal valines in hemoglobin, using a modified Edman degradation procedure. The detection limit (GC/electron capture detector or GC/MS) is increased by two magnitudes of ten when using pentafluorophenyl isothiocyanate instead of phenyl isothiocyanate in the derivatization step. As little as one nmole N‐(—2 hydroxyethyl)valine per gram hemoglobin can be detected under practical conditions.

Water immersion and flotation: From stress experiment to stress treatment

Evolving from the water immersion sensory deprivation techniques of the 1960s, tank flotation has recently become a popular recreational activity, with commercial manufacturers and facilities available in most major American cities. This paper reviews research using two versions of the technique, and evaluates the responses of 27 customers using one such commercial facility. These customers indicate relaxation and pleasant mood, findings that are compatible with popular treatments and other reports but differ widely from earlier stereotypes about the experience.     

Predicting preference for familiar,everyday objects: An experimental confrontation between two theories of aesthetic behaviour

The work reported compared the predictive ability of two theories of aesthetic behaviour, using normal, everyday objects. This involved utilizing simulated items of furniture in three experiments in which predictions deduced from the ‘collative-motivation’ model and what has been termed a ‘preference-for-prototypes’ model were made to compete empirically. For each of the five pairs of discrepant expectations formulated in the three experiments the outcomes were inconsistent with Berlyne's model, while supporting the prototypicality model. A number of theoretical implications are drawn from these findings.     

Longitudinal‐Vertical Hydrodynamic and Turbidity Simulations for Prediction of Dam Reconstruction Effects in Asian Monsoon Area1

Abstract: This research investigates possible impacts of enlarged water body according to dam reconstruction on the hydrodynamics and water quality of the reservoir using a laterally averaged, two‐dimensional hydrodynamic and transport model, CE‐QUAL‐W2. The lake was formed by the artificial dam in 1983 for agricultural water supply and is currently under consideration of reconstruction so as to expand the volume of reservoir for flood control as well as water supply in downstream areas. To calibrate and validate the model, field‐collected data were compared with model predictions for water level fluctuations and water temperature during the years of 2001 (from January to December) and 2003 (from March to November). The model results showed a good agreement with field measurements both in calibration and verification. Utilizing the model, impacts of dam reconstruction on the thermal hydrodynamics and turbid current were predicted. From the model results, dam reconstruction limited the depth of thermal stratification below 10 meter and formed steep temperature gradient between epilimnion and hypolimnion. The restricted thermal stratification persisted up to the end of September. This result indicated that thermal stratification would become stronger during summer and stay longer after dam reconstruction. In addition, the restricted thermal stratification caused vertical circulation of water mixing lower than 10 meter and isolated the upper water layer from the lower water layer which increased the volume of hypolimnetic water with low temperature. The vertical circulation near the surface also mitigated propagation of density plume within the depth of 10 m which would remain the hypolimnetic water clean.     

对氨基苯磺酸降解菌的分离鉴定及降解特性研究

对大连某城市污水处理厂活性污泥进行长期驯化,筛选得到好氧条件下以对氨基苯磺酸（4-aminobenzenesulphonate,4-ABS）为唯一碳源和能源生长的高效降解菌株W1.根据菌株W1的形态特征、生理生化特征及16S rDNA序列分析,初步鉴定为Pannonibacter菌属.通过考察生长条件对降解效果的影响,确定了该菌株降解4-ABS的优化条件为：接种量10%、　30℃、　pH 7、摇床转速150 r/min,并且在有外加碳源的情况下仍保持较高的4-ABS降解活性.在4-ABS的降解过程中,4-ABS自身含有的氨基和磺酸基会以NH⁺₄和SO^2-₄的形式释放到水体中,但浓度仅为理论释放量的77.6%和91.5%,推测原因是部分释放的NH⁺₄和SO^2-₄被菌株W1作为氮源和硫源利用;菌株W1可以耐受2 500 mg/L的4-ABS,且在32 h内实现90%的降解率;4-ABS降解率为94.7%时,可以实现84.4%的TOC去除率,且没有检测到其它芳香化合物生成,表明菌株W1可以实现4-ABS的彻底矿化.     

Elevated atmospheric CO2 and drought effects on leaf gas exchange properties of barley

Atmospheric CO₂ concentration (C_a) is rising, predicted to cause global warming, and alter precipitation patterns. During 1994, spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Alexis) was grown in a strip-split-plot experimental design to determine the effects that the main plot C_a treatments [A: Ambient at 370 μmol (CO₂) mol⁻¹; E: Enriched with free-air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) at ∼550 μmol (CO₂) mol⁻¹] had on several gas exchange properties of fully expanded sunlit primary leaves. The interacting strip-split-plot irrigation treatments were Dry or Wet [50% (D) or 100% (W) replacement of potential evapotranspiration] at ample nitrogen (261 kg N ha⁻¹) and phosphorous (29 kg P ha⁻¹) fertility. Elevated C_a facilitated drought avoidance by reducing stomatal conductance (g_s) by 34% that conserved water and enabled stomata to remain open for a longer period into a drought. This resulted in a 28% reduction in drought-induced midafternoon depression in net assimilation rate (A). Elevated C_a increased A by 37% under Dry and 23% under Wet. Any reduction in A under Wet conditions occurred because of nonstomatal limitations, whereas under Dry it occurred because of stomatal limitations. Elevated C_a increased the diurnal integral of A (A′) that resulted in an increase in the seasonal-long integral of A′ (A″) for barley leaves by 12% (P = 0.14) under both Dry and Wet - 650, 730, 905 and 1020 ± 65 g (C) m⁻² y⁻¹ for AD, ED, AW and EW treatments, respectively. Elevated C_a increased season-long average dry weight (DW_S; crown, shoots) by 14% (P = 0.02), whereas deficit irrigation reduced DW_S by 7% (P = 0.06), although these values may have been affected by a short but severe pea aphid [Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris)] infestation. Hence, an elevated-C_a-based improvement in gas exchange properties enhanced growth of a barley crop.
