《黑葡萄》与《向日葵》——徐渭与凡·高绘画艺术比较

徐渭和凡·高分别是中西画坛上具有开创性的人物，其作品都具有率真情感的宣泄。徐渭的《黑葡萄》不拘形式且笔法粗犷有力，充满野性的生机。凡·高有11幅《向日葵》问世，但最著名的是一幅15朵向日葵的作品，色彩绚丽同时富有张力，无不显示出顽强的生命力，与其惨淡的人生形成鲜明的对比。站在19世纪中西绘画艺术的角度进行比较，中西绘画无论是在绘画的材质上，还是在表现手法上都有很大的差异。

Glucose and δ-Aminolevulinic Acid Stimulate the Dark Chlorophyll Synthesis of Rice Seedlings

This research was to examine if rice (Oryza sativa L.), a monocotyledon of angiosperm, was able to synthesize chlorophyll (Chl) in complete darkness. Five-cm-tall etiolated seedlings of rice were used as starting materials and treated with or without various concentrations of glucose and/or δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in the dark. Leaves harvested at the indicated time were determined for their contents of Chl, protoporphyrin Ⅸ (Proto), Mg-protoporphyrin Ⅸ (Mg-Proto) and protochlorophyllide (Pchlide). The mole percentage of porphyrin was calculated. The Chl content in the etiolated rice seedlings slightly increased from about 2.5 μg/g to 7.5 μg/g within 12 d in the dark, but the total Chl of dark-grown rice increased from 0.36 μg/g to 3.6 μg/g. While the mole percentages of Proto, Mg-Proto and Pchlide in the dark-grown seedlings without any treatment were about 65%, 27.5% and 7.5% at the beginning, respectively, those in the light-grown seedlings were about 42.5%, 35% and 22.5%, respectively. The mole percentage of porphyrin of etiolated seedlings resumed its normal ratio within 2 d after treatment with glucose. While the Chl content of etiolated seedlings grown in culture solution with 3% and 6% glucose increased 2.5 and 4.0 folds, respectively, those with 3% and 6% glucose and 1 mmol/L ALA increased 22 and 24 folds, respectively. It is concluded that angiosperm might be able to synthesize a small amount of Chl in complete darkness, that either glucose or ALA could stimulate dark Chl synthesis in angiosperm, and that a combination of glucose and ALA exhibited an additional effect. It is still unknown and remains to be further explored what is the mechanism of the effect of glucose and ALA on the Chl synthesis of rice in the dark.

Phenol Compounds of Blackberry （Rubus caucasicus Focke and Rubus anatolicus L.） Fruit and Leaf

It is investigated of the effect of plant blackberry （Rubus caucasicus Focke and Rubus anatolicus L.） flower, fruit and leaf content of phenol compounds qualitative and quantitative HPLC （high-pressure liquid chromatography） and spectral methods. HPLC analysis revealed that the fetus was a major of both species, cyanidin-3-glucoside, and it reached full maturity period 1,493.54 ± 44.81 and 1,636.58 ±49.10 mg/kg （cyanidin-3-O-glucoside chloride equivalents） calculated on the dry weight. In mature fetus flavonols is （884.8±26.54）-（979.0 ± 29.37） mg/kg （rutin equivalents） calculated on the dry weight, catechins （21.2± 0.64）-（25.01 ± 0.7537） mg/kg （（＋） catechin equivalents） calculated on the dry weight, leucoantocyanins （48.8 ±1.46）-（52.1± 1.56） mg/kg （cyanidin equivalents） calculated on the dry weight. In this regard, there was a slight difference between the species. Most of the leaf flavonols were presented 3.7 ± 0.111 g/kg. Phenol carbonic acids--the leaves of 13.4 ± 0.402 mg/kg calculated on the dry weight, the flowers of 8.8± 0.264 mg/kg, calculated on the dry weight. Full maturity period, the number of phenol carbonic acids cent is （3,707.8 ± 111.23）-（4,287.5 ± 128.63） mg/kg, （caffeic acid equivalents） is calculated on the dry weight of the unit. Also been determined HPLC following the method of compounds is： cyanidin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, ellagic acid, gallic acid and chlorogenic acid.

The miRNA expression profile of the uveal melanoma

The miRNA expression profile was initially established to investigate its corresponding function in human uveal melanoma. The miRNA expression profile in human uveal melanoma was analyzed by a micro chip technique.The hsa-miRNA expression between four uveal melanomas and four normal uveal tissues was compared.Based on the bioinformatic approach,chip data was analyzed to select out differentially expressed candidate hsa-miRNAs.Real-time quantitative PCR(RT-PCR) was used to confirm the candidate hsa-miRNAs expression in all samples.The results of miRNA microarray chips that matched with RT-PCR were considered as the miRNA expression which was significantly different between normal tissue and uveal melanomas.In four uveal melanomas,expressions of miRNA-20a,miRNA-106a,miRNA-17,miRNA-21,and miRNA-34a were significantly up-regulated,while miRNA-145 and miRNA-204 expression were significantly down-regulated.We used miRNA microarray analysis as a fast,efficient technology to study biological information.The differentially expressed miRNAs may be involved in uveal melanoma pathogenesis,and may help promote the diagnosis and treatment for uveal melanoma.
