Ary germplasm in the germplasm garden of Chinese National Key Biotechnology Laboratory for Tropical Crops and some of them are elite germplasm demonstrated by production and previous studies. AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) fingerprinting analysis was performed on 25 clones (15 of Wickham clones and 10 of Amazon wild clones which possess phenotypes with high-yielding,/Iow-yielding, cold-tolerance/cold-sensitivity, oidium-resistance/oidium-sensitivity, tapping panel dryness (TPD) /healthy) respectively through a 377 DNA sequencer (P. E. Corp.) and PAGE electrophoresis results were analyzed by using GeneScan(TM) and Genotype(TM) Analysis software (P. E. Corp. The fragment profiles of different clones were obtained. Five hundred and eighteen fragments were generated by two primer combinations screened from 64 primer combinations and 511 fragments appeared to be polymorphic (98.6%). Genetic distance ranged from 0.25 to 0.81 between clones and ranged from 0.07 to 0.17 within RRIM600 clone. A specific 320 bp fragment of the oidium-resistant clones was found through genotype analysis. These results showed that AFLP fingerprints were highly reproducible and powerful and can be widely used in germplasm identification and genetic diversity analysis of Hema brasiliensis. In addition, based on the AFLP data, cluster analysis was performed. Cluster results showed that all the clones studied were almost clustered into a group one by one.展开更多

Arg. was investigated with the aid of experimental morphological and radioisotope technique. Most radioactivity of H-3-JA sustained in treated site within one hour while no radioactivity was detected in new shoot and the radioactivity in upper leaf was much less than that in the parts below the treated site, suggesting that JA was mainly transported downwards in the shoot of H brasiliensis. Mechanical wounding hindered the entrance of exogenous JA remarkably while held back the entered JA to the regions around wounded site. The effect of exogenous JA and mechanical wounding on the induction of the secondary laticifer differentiation was limited to treated site where high level of JA was expected. Mechanical wounding reduced the effect of exogenous JA on the differentiation of secondary laticifer, which could be ascribed to the hindrance of mechanical wounding to the entrance of exogenous JA. It was concluded from the combined data that a high accumulation of JA was required for inducing the secondary laticifer differentiation in H. brasiliensis.展开更多

Methods MES23.5 dopaminergic cells were selected as our experimental model. [3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol2-yl)-2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide] (MTT) assay was used to detect the influence of copper on the cell viability. The semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting and the high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) have been used to detect the tyrosine hydroxlase (TH) mRNA and protein expression and the dopamine content in MES23.5 cells. The flow cytometry have been used to detect the changes of mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Results 100 and 200 μmol/L copper had no effect on the MES23.5 cell viability, whereas 400 and 800 μmol/L of copper could decrease the cell viability (P 〈 0.01). Treating cells with 200 μmol/L copper for 24 h decreased the TH mRNA expression, the TH expression and the dopamine content compared with the control (P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.05, respectively). Besides, the mitochondrial transmembrane potential also decreased with the treatment of 200 μmol/L copper for 24 h (P 〈 0.01). Condusion Copper could exert the toxic effects on MES23.5 dopaminergic cells and decrease the cell function. The dysfunction of mitochondria may be the mechanism of this toxicity effect.展开更多

Methods: Forty-two female rabbits were randomly divided into 7 groups. The breast drainage lymphatic vessels and nodes in axilla were exposed by surgery. Under the papillae of the second pair of breast, 0.1 mL Chinese ink dilution at concentrations of 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 50% and 100% and isosulfan blue (IB, 1.0%) were injected. The movement of ink in lymphatic chain was investigated, and the number of stained nodes and their staining and washout time ware recorded. The first stained lymph node that was followed through lymphatic drainage was identified as the sentinel lymph node (SLN). The SLNs were dissected and prepared for histological observation 5 rain, 1 h and 2 weeks after stained. Blood samples were harvested and tested before and 2 weeks after injection. The hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys were dissected after a period of post-operation observation and sent for pathologic examination. Results: No obvious differences were observed among the staining time of SLNs and the second lymph node using ink at different concentrations (P〉0.05). But they were obviously longer than that of IB (P〈0.05). The mean number of nodes obtained was nearly the same (P〉0.05). It was too light for gross visual inspection when nodes were stained by ink at the concentration of 0.1%. Nodes stained by IB faded 33.9 rain after stained. And carbon staining seemed permanent without any visible decline after 2 weeks. Carbon particles were found to be in the sinus of lymph nodes that were obtained 5 rain after stained, and then was phagocytosed by macrophages (MФ) 1 h later. The density of carbon obscured the microscopic observation of lymph nodes when they were stained using Chinese ink at concentration of higher than 20.0%. No obvious changes were investigated in blood test and vital organ pathologic examination. Conclusion: Chinese ink is potentially a novel type of dye tracer in SLN biopsy.展开更多

The results show that the dynamic tensile strength of disc rock specimen is approximately five times its static tensile strength. The failure modes of ring specimens are related to the dimension of the internal hole and loading rate. Under static loading tests, when the ratio of internal radius to external radius of the rock ring is small enough (ρ〈0.3), specimens mostly split along the diametral loading line. With the increase of the ratio, the secondary cracks are formed in the direction perpendicular to the loading line. Under dynamic loading tests, specimens usually break up into four pieces. When the ratio ρreaches 0.5, the secondary cracks are formed near the input bar. The tensile strength calculated by Hobbs’ formula is greater than the Brazilian splitting strength. The peak load and the radius ratio show a negative exponential relationship under static test. Using ring specimen to determine tensile strength of rock material is more like a test indicator rather than the material properties.展开更多

Among them the relative standard uncertainty introduced by sample weighting process was 0. 009, and the uncertainty introduced by sample constant volume was 0.000 78. ③The uncertainty introduced by the fitting process of standard curve. Among them the relative uncertainty of curve fitting was 0.002 46, the uncertainty introduced by the determined results of aspartame was 0.017 0, the total combined standard uncertainty was 0.023 9, and the expanded standard uncertainty was 0.019. [ Conclusion] The uncertainty components of standard solution, standard curve and repeatability are the main sources of uncertainty, while those of sample weighting and sample constant volume account for little proportion.展开更多

According to conventional biochemical method, physiological-biochemical test showed that DX01 and DX02 could produce acids and gases in the presence of mannitol, lactose, glucose and maltose, and did not ferment sucrose, reactions of sodium citrate, urea, V-P, hydrogen sulfide and gelatin were negative, while reactions of indole, M-R and nitrate were positive, which were in accordance with the characteristics of colibacillus; and JX01 and JX02 both fermented mannitol, sucrose, glucose, maltose, and did not ferment lactose, reactions of indole, M-R, V-P, hydrogen sulfide and gelatin were negative, while the reaction of nitrate was positive, which were in accordance with the characteristics of Pasteurella. 16S rDNA detection and sequencing showed that JX01 and JX02 shared 100% homology with Pas- teurella. The animal inoculation test of isolated bacteria showed that the mice in the experiment groups all died within 2 d. Original cultures were isolated from dead mice. DX01 and DX02 were identified as colibacillus, JX01 and JX02 were identified as Pasteurella, and the death of diseased rabbits was caused by mixed infection of pasteureUosis and colibacillosis. Drug sensitive test showed that DX01 and DX02 were only sensitive to kanamycin, ofloxacin and sulfamethoxydiazine, and not sensitive to other drugs, and JX01 and JX02 were sensitive to ofloxacin, sulfamethoxydiazine, gentamicin, furazolidone, doxycycline, streptomycin, trimoxazole and spectinomycin, and were moderately sensitive to cefradine. Ofloxacin and sulfamethoxydiazine are preferable for the clinical treatment of this disease.展开更多

Two strains were named Yu-ZZ-HL-I-SLG and Yu-ZZ-HL-II-GZ. The comparative result of the 16S rDNA sequence shows that the 2 isolated strains are identical in sequence; the highest identity (99.9%) was observed between the isolated strain and one of the strains of Gallibacterium anatis (AF22.8002), the homologies between the isolated strain and 3 strains of gallibacterium accessed in NCBI (AF22.8016, Gallibacterium genomosp. 1, AF228017, Gallibacterium genomosp. 2, AF22.8018, Gal- libacterium genomosp. 1 ) were above 97.1%, higher than that of the isolated strain and the other strains of the other 11 genera which were between 90.7% -93.2%. It can be seen from the phylogenetic tree that the 2 isolated strains and the other 4 strain of gallibacterium fell into the same branch, furthermore the 2 isolated strains and the strain of Gallibacterium anatis locate in an internal branch, indicating that the 2 isolated strains belong to Gallibacterium anatis.展开更多

Mechanical wounding reduced the effect of exogenous JA on the differentiation of secondary laticifer, which could be ascribed to the hindrance of mechanical wounding to the entrance of exogenous JA. It was concluded from the combined data that a high accumulation of JA was required for inducing the secondary laticifer differentiation in H. brasiliensis.
文摘Objective To investigate the toxicity of copper on MES23.5 dopaminergic cells and the probable mechanisms involved in this process. Methods MES23.5 dopaminergic cells were selected as our experimental model. [3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol2-yl)-2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide] (MTT) assay was used to detect the influence of copper on the cell viability. The semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting and the high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) have been used to detect the tyrosine hydroxlase (TH) mRNA and protein expression and the dopamine content in MES23.5 cells. The flow cytometry have been used to detect the changes of mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Results 100 and 200 μmol/L copper had no effect on the MES23.5 cell viability, whereas 400 and 800 μmol/L of copper could decrease the cell viability (P 〈 0.01). Treating cells with 200 μmol/L copper for 24 h decreased the TH mRNA expression, the TH expression and the dopamine content compared with the control (P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.05, respectively). Besides, the mitochondrial transmembrane potential also decreased with the treatment of 200 μmol/L copper for 24 h (P 〈 0.01). Condusion Copper could exert the toxic effects on MES23.5 dopaminergic cells and decrease the cell function. The dysfunction of mitochondria may be the mechanism of this toxicity effect.

文摘Objective: To investigate the potential clinical value of Chinese ink as a tracer in dye-directed sentinel lymph node biopsy. Methods: Forty-two female rabbits were randomly divided into 7 groups. The breast drainage lymphatic vessels and nodes in axilla were exposed by surgery. Under the papillae of the second pair of breast, 0.1 mL Chinese ink dilution at concentrations of 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 50% and 100% and isosulfan blue (IB, 1.0%) were injected. The movement of ink in lymphatic chain was investigated, and the number of stained nodes and their staining and washout time ware recorded. The first stained lymph node that was followed through lymphatic drainage was identified as the sentinel lymph node (SLN). The SLNs were dissected and prepared for histological observation 5 rain, 1 h and 2 weeks after stained. Blood samples were harvested and tested before and 2 weeks after injection. The hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys were dissected after a period of post-operation observation and sent for pathologic examination. Results: No obvious differences were observed among the staining time of SLNs and the second lymph node using ink at different concentrations (P〉0.05). But they were obviously longer than that of IB (P〈0.05). The mean number of nodes obtained was nearly the same (P〉0.05). It was too light for gross visual inspection when nodes were stained by ink at the concentration of 0.1%. Nodes stained by IB faded 33.9 rain after stained. And carbon staining seemed permanent without any visible decline after 2 weeks. Carbon particles were found to be in the sinus of lymph nodes that were obtained 5 rain after stained, and then was phagocytosed by macrophages (MФ) 1 h later. The density of carbon obscured the microscopic observation of lymph nodes when they were stained using Chinese ink at concentration of higher than 20.0%. No obvious changes were investigated in blood test and vital organ pathologic examination. Conclusion: Chinese ink is potentially a novel type of dye tracer in SLN biopsy.

文摘Static and dynamic splitting tests were conducted on ring marble specimens with different internal diameters to study the tensile strength and failure modes with the change of the ratio of internal radius to external radius (ρ) under different loading rates. The results show that the dynamic tensile strength of disc rock specimen is approximately five times its static tensile strength. The failure modes of ring specimens are related to the dimension of the internal hole and loading rate. Under static loading tests, when the ratio of internal radius to external radius of the rock ring is small enough (ρ〈0.3), specimens mostly split along the diametral loading line. With the increase of the ratio, the secondary cracks are formed in the direction perpendicular to the loading line. Under dynamic loading tests, specimens usually break up into four pieces. When the ratio ρreaches 0.5, the secondary cracks are formed near the input bar. The tensile strength calculated by Hobbs’ formula is greater than the Brazilian splitting strength. The peak load and the radius ratio show a negative exponential relationship under static test. Using ring specimen to determine tensile strength of rock material is more like a test indicator rather than the material properties.

[ Conclusion] The uncertainty components of standard solution, standard curve and repeatability are the main sources of uncertainty, while those of sample weighting and sample constant volume account for little proportion.
文摘A more accurate analysis method on working modes is proposed by considering the winding terminal voltage and the eondueting power device as state parameters. For the three-phase hybrid excitation doubly salient machine (HEDSM) motor and its three-phase full-bridge inverter, in the proposed analytical method, all possible working modes are generally listed. Then, with the H_PWM-L_ON control strategy, the working modes are detailed with eorresponding equivalent circuits. Experimental results verify the robustness of the analysis.

文摘In order to diagnose diseased rabbits, dead rabbits were dissected, and 4 strains, DX01, DX02, JX01 and JX02 were obtained from bacterial isolation and culture. According to conventional biochemical method, physiological-biochemical test showed that DX01 and DX02 could produce acids and gases in the presence of mannitol, lactose, glucose and maltose, and did not ferment sucrose, reactions of sodium citrate, urea, V-P, hydrogen sulfide and gelatin were negative, while reactions of indole, M-R and nitrate were positive, which were in accordance with the characteristics of colibacillus; and JX01 and JX02 both fermented mannitol, sucrose, glucose, maltose, and did not ferment lactose, reactions of indole, M-R, V-P, hydrogen sulfide and gelatin were negative, while the reaction of nitrate was positive, which were in accordance with the characteristics of Pasteurella. 16S rDNA detection and sequencing showed that JX01 and JX02 shared 100% homology with Pas- teurella. The animal inoculation test of isolated bacteria showed that the mice in the experiment groups all died within 2 d. Original cultures were isolated from dead mice. DX01 and DX02 were identified as colibacillus, JX01 and JX02 were identified as Pasteurella, and the death of diseased rabbits was caused by mixed infection of pasteureUosis and colibacillosis. Drug sensitive test showed that DX01 and DX02 were only sensitive to kanamycin, ofloxacin and sulfamethoxydiazine, and not sensitive to other drugs, and JX01 and JX02 were sensitive to ofloxacin, sulfamethoxydiazine, gentamicin, furazolidone, doxycycline, streptomycin, trimoxazole and spectinomycin, and were moderately sensitive to cefradine. Ofloxacin and sulfamethoxydiazine are preferable for the clinical treatment of this disease.

文摘Two strains of Gallibacterium, isolated from one laying hen flock in Zhengzhou City of Henan Province, were identified by the morphological observation, genus -specific PCR, and analysis of 16S rRNA gene, which was used to generate the phylogenetic tree, with the 21 members of the 12 genera belonging to Pasteurellaceae to analyze the homology. Two strains were named Yu-ZZ-HL-I-SLG and Yu-ZZ-HL-II-GZ. The comparative result of the 16S rDNA sequence shows that the 2 isolated strains are identical in sequence; the highest identity (99.9%) was observed between the isolated strain and one of the strains of Gallibacterium anatis (AF22.8002), the homologies between the isolated strain and 3 strains of gallibacterium accessed in NCBI (AF22.8016, Gallibacterium genomosp. 1, AF228017, Gallibacterium genomosp. 2, AF22.8018, Gal- libacterium genomosp. 1 ) were above 97.1%, higher than that of the isolated strain and the other strains of the other 11 genera which were between 90.7% -93.2%. It can be seen from the phylogenetic tree that the 2 isolated strains and the other 4 strain of gallibacterium fell into the same branch, furthermore the 2 isolated strains and the strain of Gallibacterium anatis locate in an internal branch, indicating that the 2 isolated strains belong to Gallibacterium anatis.
