Pallister Killian-mosaic tetrasomy 12 p syndrome. Another prenatally diagnosed case

A new case of mosaic tetrasomy 12 p (46, XY/47, XY, + i 12 p), diagnosed during pregnancy from ultrasonographic signs, is reported. We emphasize the peculiar position of the diaphragmatic hernia in this syndrome. Its presence or absence determines the vital prognosis and the age of diagnosis. The knowledge of its possible association with tetrasomy 12 p can contribute considerably to the neonatal diagnosis by directing the work of the cytogeneticist to tissue cultures which enable him to detect the presence of the tetrasomy.     

Biodegradation of Electrospun Poly-(ɛ-caprolactone) Non-woven Fabrics by Pure-Cultured Soil Filamentous Fungi

The biodegradation of electrospun nano-fibers of poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) was initially investigated with respect to the environmental application of PCL non-woven fabrics, using pure-cultured soil filamentous fungi, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium caseicolum, P. citrinum, Mucor sp., Rhizopus sp., Curvularia sp., and Cladosporium sp. Three kinds of non-woven PCL fabrics with different mean fiber diameters (330, 360, and 510 nm) were prepared by changing the viscosities of the pre-spun PCL solutions (150, 210, and 310 cPs, respectively). All of the pure-line soil filamentous fungi tested grew on the two fiber materials. Electron microscopy was used to observe the biodegradation processes revealing remarkable growth of two fungi, Rhizopus sp. and Mucor sp., along with the accompanying collapse of the nano-fiber matrices. In the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) test, the biodegradation of the 330 nm PCL nano-fibers by Rhizopus sp. and Mucor sp. exceeded 20 and 30% carbon dioxide generation, respectively. The biodegradability of the PCL non-woven fabrics decreased with the mean fiber diameter and the 330 nm PCL nano-fiber that was made from 150 cPs solution (concentration, 7 wt%) exhibited the highest biodegradability. These results might offer some clues for the applications of the PCL non-woven fabrics having the controlled biodegradability in the environmental uses.     

Synthesis of copolyesters containing poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(ε-caprolactone) units and their susceptibility toPseudomonas sp. lipase

Copolyesters containing poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) were synthesized from PET and PCL homopolymers by transesterification reaction at 270°C in the presence of catalyst. The copolyesters were characterized by¹³C-NMR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The degradation behavior of PCL byPseudomonas sp. lipase in buffer solution (pH 7) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) was investigated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and¹H-NMR. From these experiments, it was found thatPseudomonas sp. lipase acted endoenzymatically on PCL. Using this lipase, degradation tests for PET/PCL copolyesters whose PCL content was below 50% by weight were also performed in buffer solution (pH 7). However, evenPseudomonas sp. lipase with high degradation activity on PCL did not easily degrade the PCL unit in PET/PCL copolyesters.     

利用TaPL3模型计算p,p''-DDTDDT在天津地区的长距离传输潜力

利用TaPL3(Version 3．00)模型计算了天津地区p，p’-DDT通过大气和水体的长距离传输潜力(LRTP)．通过灵敏度分析，确定了模型的关键参数．利用蒙特卡罗方法对模型结果进行了不确定性分析．结果表明，天津地区p，p’-DDT通过大气的LRlP为473～762km，均值为579km；通过水体的LRTP为940～10958km，均值为2254km．通过大气的LRTP的结果分布比通过水体的LRTP更集中．与国外同类结果比较，通过大气的LRTP略低，而通过水体的LRTP则明显偏低．     

Prenatal diagnosis of a case of tetrasomy 9p

A male fetus with tetrasomy 9p [47,XY, + i(9p)] is presented. The cytogenetic interpretation of the marker chromosome was confirmed by assessing the activity of the enzyme galactose I-phosphate uridyl transferase. The clinical findings of the case show features in common with previously reported cases.     

西藏砂生槐种子营养成份的初步研究

砂生槐(Sophora moorcroftiana)是藏南河谷地带分布极广的一种多年生豆科灌木,具有极强的抗旱、耐瘠、抗风沙等生态适应性。目前当地群众挖其植株作为生活燃料,收其干叶作为牲畜越冬饲料,破坏相当严重。为充分开发其利用价值,首次取其种子进行营养成份分析,发现其富含蛋白质和脂肪17种氨基酸含量达 23％以上除色氨酸未能测定外,其余7种必须氨基酸含量均高于豌豆(Pisum sativrm)热值 4 800千卡/公斤左右。具有较高的饲用或食用开发价值。     

Dioxin-/Furan-“Verbrennungsprofile” in Abgasen aus Hochtemperaturprozessen

Zusammenfassung  Verschiedene Mechanismen in der Abkühlungsphase von Hochtemperaturprozessen führen zur Neubildung von polychlorierten Dibenzo(p) dioxinen (PCDD) und polychlorierten Dibenzofuranen (PCDF) und, unabh?ngig von den jeweiligen Absolutkonzentrationen, zu vergleichbaren PCDD/F-Profilen, also prozentualen Anteilen einzelner Kongenere bzw. Homologengruppen an der Summe der betrachtten 17 Kongenere nach 17. BImSchV bzw. Homologengruppen Tetra-bis Octa CDD/F. Die Charakteristik dieser “Verbrennungs-profile” kann zur Plausibilit?tsprüfung von Messergebnissen sowie zur weitergehenden Deutung und zum Verst?ndnis der ablaufenden Reaktionsmechanismen beitragen.

用Mehlich 3(M_3)、Olsen、Bray 1、Bray 2和醋酸铵(AA)对广东主要水稻土的有效磷、钾进行测定比较。结果表明,M_3-P在pH4.5—7.5的土壤上与Bray1-P显著相关,在pH7.5—8.5的土壤上则与Olsen-P的关系显著。在54种不同土壤上,M_3和AA提取的有效钾量基本相等。经过六年来大面积的应用,取得了良好的效果,表明M_3提取剂适宜作为广东主要水稻土的有效磷、钾联合提取剂。     

有机肥与化肥配施对土壤养分的影响研究

不同有机肥与化肥配施比例都有促进土壤养分含量的作用,土壤中有机质、碱解氮、速效磷和速效钾含量均随有机肥在肥料中比例的增加而增加,增幅分别为1.04％～63.49％、5.57％～24.50％、28.65％～48.42％、16.7％ ～ 28.65％.有机肥与化肥配施能够明显改善土壤理化性质,降低土壤pH值和土壤容重,提高土壤总孔隙度,提高土壤有机质、碱解氮、速效磷、速效钾的含量,表明有机肥与化肥配施对土壤养分的提高效果明显,并明显高于单施化肥和不施肥.综合分析,有机肥与化肥配施比例为7∶3是值得推广应用的优化方案.     

在大鼠哮喘发生中SO2致凋亡相关基因及蛋白质表达的改变

为了研究SO2对哮喘大鼠肺细胞凋亡相关基因mRNA和蛋白表达的影响.对健康雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为正常组、SO2暴露组、卵蛋白(OVA)致敏哮喘组、SO2和OVA联合作用组,采用荧光实时定量RT-PCR和Westem Blot方法研究吸入SO2对哮喘大鼠肺细胞p53、box、bcl-2三种细胞凋亡相关基因mRNA和蛋白表达的影响.结果表明,SO2暴露组肺中p53和box mRNA和蛋白水平降低,bcl-2表达和bcl-2/bax比值均有升高,但与对照组相比无显著性差异.与对照组相比,哮喘组肺中p53和bax mRNA和蛋白的表达水平呈现不同程度的降低;bcl-2的表达和bcl-2/bax比值显著升高.SO2和OVA联合作用后,与哮喘组相比,肺中p53和bax蛋白表达显著下降,而bcl-2蛋白表达显著升高.结论:SO2可加剧哮喘大鼠的哮喘症状,其机制可能是通过影响哮喘大鼠肺组织凋亡相关基因(p53、bax、bcl-2)的表达水平,抑制气道炎性细胞的凋亡来实现的.这些机制的阐明有助于对SO2毒作用机制的理解和所致疾病的治疗.
