除虫菊酯和迷迭香对大鼠大脑突触体ATP酶的活性影响

除虫菊酯越来越广泛地被应用于农业和家庭昆虫防治,主要通过作用于膜结合蛋白而对动物起神经毒性.迷迭香因其抗氧化功能而被应用于很多商业化的除虫菊酯产品中.本实验以大鼠大脑突触体ATP酶为研究对象,对除虫菊酯和迷迭香的药理学进行了研究.用Percoll梯度离心法分离突触体,通过检测无机磷的量来测定总ATP酶和Mg2 -ATP酶活性.结果表明,除虫菊酯在浓度为10 μmol/L时总ATP酶和Mg2 -ATP酶分别降低到对照的80.3%和46.9%.迷迭香在浓度为0.3～30 μmol/L时几乎不影响ATP酶活性,当浓度上升到3 000 μmol/L时,总ATP酶活性降低到66.8%,而Mg2 -ATP酶活性降低到54.5%. 10 μmol/L 除虫菊酯和30 μmol/L迷迭香混合物引起总ATP酶和Mg2 -ATP酶分别降低到72.9%和33.4%.结论: 1) 除虫菊酯能抑制大鼠大脑ATP酶活性; 2) 迷迭香只在高浓度下才对ATP酶有抑制作用; 3) 迷迭香能增强除虫菊酯对ATP酶的抑制作用.图3参19     

Metacommunity dynamics over 16 years in a pyrogenic shrubland

Metacommunity theory allows predictions about the dynamics of potentially interacting species' assemblages that are linked by dispersal, but strong empirical tests of the theory are rare. We analyzed the metacommunity dynamics of Florida rosemary scrub, a patchily distributed pyrogenic community, to test predictions about turnover rates, community nestedness, and responses to patch size, arrangement, and quality. We collected occurrence data for 45 plant species from 88 rosemary scrub patches in 1989 and 2005 and used growth form, mechanism of regeneration after fire, and degree of habitat specialization to categorize species by life history. We tested whether patch size, fire history, and structural connectivity (a measure of proximity and size of surrounding patches) could be used to predict apparent extinctions and colonizations. In addition, we tested the accuracy of incidence-function models built with the patch survey data from 1989. After fire local extinction rates were higher for herbs than woody plants, higher for species that regenerated only from seed than species able to resprout, and higher for generalist than specialist species. Fewer rosemary specialists and a higher proportion of habitat generalists were extirpated on recently burned patches than on patches not burned between 1989 and 2005. Nestedness was highest for specialists among all life-history groups. Estimated model parameters from 1989 predicted the observed (1989-2005) extinction rates and the number of patches with persistent populations of individual species. These results indicate that species with different life-history strategies within the same metacommunity can have substantially different responses to patch configuration and quality. Real metacommunities may not conform to certain assumptions of simple models, but incidence-function models that consider only patch size, configuration, and quality can have significant predictive accuracy.
