Ultrastructural Observation on the Intra-and Intercellular Microtrabecular Network of the Pollen Mother Cells in Onion ( Allium cepa )

Using DGD embedment_free electron microscopy, ultrastructural observation on the intra_ and intercellular microtrabecular network (MN) of the pollen mother cells (PMC) of the whole meiotic prophase Ⅰ in onion ( Allium cepa L.) was performed. Complex nuclear MN was observed in the nucleus of PMCs, spreading throughout the nuclear region. The nucleolus and chromosomes were connected with the MN filament network. The uniformity of nuclear MN changed with the development of the PMCs. A lamina_like structure surrounded the nucleus and joined the MN in nucleus and in cytoplasm, but it disassembled at the end of prophase Ⅰ. There was also a complex cytoplasmic MN in PMCs, without obvious variation during the prophase Ⅰ. Furthermore, MN in cytoplasmic connections (plasmodesmata and cytoplasmic channels) was noticed to link the frameworks in two neighboring PMCs into one entity. Cytomixis was observed at synizesis of prophase Ⅰ in this experiment, and MN in cytoplasm and in nucleus was noticed to distribute in these granules which migrated from one PMC into its neighboring cell. At this time the nucleus moved aside from center of the PMC, but the rest of the cell was still fulfilled with MN filaments. The relationships of nuclear MN with nucleolus and chromosomes, lamina with nucleus, as well as intra_ and intercellular MN with cytomixis are discussed in this paper.

Regeneration of Diploid Intergeneric Somatic Hybrid Plants Between Microcitrus and Citrus via Electrofusion

Leaf-derived protoplasts of Rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush, 2n = 2x = 18) were electrofused with embryogenic suspension protoplasts of its relative, Microcitrus papuana Swingle (2n = 2x = 18), with an intention of creating novel germplasm. Six plants were regenerated following protoplasts fusion. Cytological examination demonstrated that they were diploids with 18 chromosomes (2n = 2x = 18). RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analyses with six arbitrary 10-mer primers showed that the regenerated plants had identical band patterns to those of Rough lemon for primers OPA-07, OPAN-07, OPE-05 and OPA-08, Whereas for the other two primers, OPA-04 and OPS-13, bands specific to M. papuana could be detected in the regenerated plants. Cytological and RAPD analysis revealed that the regenerated plants were diploid somatic hybrids between M. papuana and Rough lemon. The putative hybrids were morphologically similar to Rough lemon. This is the first report on production of diploid somatic hybrid plants between citrus with its related genus via symmetric fusion.

Intergeneric Somatic Hybrid Plants Between Citrus and Poncirus trifoliata and Evaluation of Their Root Rot Resistance

Protoplasts of Page tangelo (Citrus reticulata Blanco×C. paradisi Macf.) cell suspension culture were electrically fused with mesophyll protoplasts isolated from trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.). More than 150 plantlets regenerated after 4-5 months of culture. The regenerated plants were trifoliate with well developed root systems. Root_tip chromosome counting of more than 20 randomly selected plants revealed that they were all tetraploids (2n=4x=36). RAPD analysis of 7 randomly selected plants verified their hybridity. Inoculation of citrus Phytophthora parasitica Dastar toxin on leaves of somatic hybrids and both parental genotypes showed that Page tangelo was moderately susceptible, and trifoliate orange was highly resistant while the somatic hybrids were resistant. The potential of this somatic hybrid as rootstock is also discussed.

In Vitro Fertilization in Maize and Tobacco: The Fusion Patterns During Sexual Cell Fusion

Large scale of sexual cell fusion was carried out in order to observe the fusion pattern during in vitro fertilization with special interest in the influence of cell volume on the membrane behavior. Three patterns could be recognized in sexual cell fusion, which was supported by fluorescent microscopy with the aid of video enhanced system and cooled CCD. It was found that the fusion pattern and cell membrane behavior were related to the cell volume ratio of two fusing cells. The results reported here might be useful for interpreting and evaluating data from in vitro fertilization experiments and for explaining male cytoplasm exclusion during fertilization.

Regeneration and Characterization of Plants Derived from Asymmetric Protoplast Fusion in Citrus

Protoplasts of Valencia sweet orange ( Citrus sinensis Osb.),irradiated by X_ray with a dose rate of 3.8 krad/min for 45 min, were electrically fused with protoplasts of Murcott tangor ( C. reticulata×C. sinensis ) that were treated with 0.25 mmol/L iodoacetic acid for 15 min. It took nearly 15 months for the fusion_derived calli to develop into embryoids that were only originated in the medium of MT supplemented with 2% glycerol. The shoots were recalcitrant to rooting in the root_induction medium. In vitro grafting was employed to produce whole plants though one self_rooting plant was obtained. Cytological determination of root and shoot tips showed mainly diploid and aneuploid cells, together with few tetraploid cells in some plants. RAPD (random amplified polymorphism DNA) analysis with 10_mer primers demonstrated that bands specific to the fusion parents were detected in the regenerated plants, indicating that interspecific somatic hybrids have been obtained via protoplast asymmetric fusion in Citrus .

Affinity Chromatography Purification of Recombinant Human Interleukin-6 from Its Fusion Protein with GST

Recombinant E.coli JM109, containing pHZ1818 plasmid which included the fused gene encoding human interleukin 6(IL 6), expressed a fusion protein with glutathion S transferase(GST). The fusion protein existed both in the supernatant and inside the bacterial cell,but the insoluble protein had no biological activity and could not be refolded. The rotative speed of the shaker and the temperature of induction were optimized to maximize the expression of the soluble fusion protein. From the supernatant of the cell sonicates Glutathion Sephrose 4B affinity column chromatography was employed to isolate the fusion protein which could be purified to >80 0 0 in a single step. The yield of soluble GST IL 6 was about 10 mg per liter culture. The GST was site specifically cloven by 6 hours of treatment with thrombin and from the thrombin digest mixture IL 6 was purified by Q high performance ion exchange chromatography. From 1 liter of E.coli culture 2 mg refined IL 6 was obtained. The purified IL 6 had a purity of more than 95 0 0 and a biological activity of 1.02×10 8 IU/mg.

In vivo anti-tumor effect of hybrid vaccine of dendritic cells and esophageal carcinoma cells on esophageal carcinoma cell line 109 in mice with severe combined immune deficiency

AIM： To develop a fusion vaccine of esophageal carcinoma cells and dendritic cells （DC） and observe its protective and therapeutic effect against esophageal carcinoma cell line 109 （EC109）. METHODS： The fusion vaccine was produced by fusing traditional polyethyleneglycol （PEG）, inducing cytokine, sorting CD34＋ magnetic microbead marker and magnetic cell system （MACS）. The liver, spleen and lung were pathologically tested after injection of the fusion vaccine. To study the therapeutic and protective effect of the fusion vaccine against tumor EC109, mice were divided immune group and therapeutic group. The immune group was divided into P, E, D and ED subgroups, immunized by phosphate buffered solution （PBS）, inactivated EC109, DC and the fusion vaccine respectively, and attacked by EC109 cells. The tumor size, weight, latent period and mouse survival period were recorded and statistically analyzed. The therapeutic group was divided into four subgroups： P, inactivated EC109, D and ED subgroups, which were attacked by EC109 and then treated with PBS, inactivated EC109, DC, and EC109-DC respectively. Pathology and flow cytometry were also used to study the therapeutic effect of the fusion vaccine against EC109 cells.RESULTS： Flow cytometry showed that the expression of folate receptor （FR）, EC109 （C）, Des （D） in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line （HNE1） （B） was 78.21%, 89.50%, and 0.18%, respectively. The fusion cells （C） were highly expressed. No tumor was found in the spleen, lung and liver after injection of the fusion vaccine. Human IgG was tested in peripheral blood lymphocytes （PBL）. In the immune group, the latent period was longer in EC109-DC subgroup than in other subgroups, while the tumor size and weight were also smaller than those in ED subgroup. In the therapeutic group, the tumor size and weight were smaller in ED subgroup than in P, inactivated EC109 and DC subgroups. CONCLUSION： Fusion cells are highly expressed not only in FR but also in CD80. The fusion vaccine has a distinctive protective effect against tumor EC109 and can inhibit the growth of tumor in mice, and its immune protection against tumor attack is more significant.

Preparation of Recombinant Islet Cell Autoantigen 69 kD Fusion Protein

To get recombinant antigen (Is/et Cell Autoantigen 69)ICA69 which was expressed in Escherichia coli strains (E.coli) by means of the gene engineering technique so that it can be used for early diagnosis of and screening in type Ⅰ diabetes mellitus, the cDNA fragment of human ICA69 was amplified by PCR, and then cloned into pSPORT 1 vector. After DNA sequencing, it was inserted into pGEX-2T between the sites of EcoR Ⅰ and Sma Ⅰ, then recombinant plasmid p2T-ICA69 was constructed and introduced into E.coli. The GST-ICA69 fusion protein was expressed by the induction of IPTG. The recombinant ICA69 proteins were used to detect the antibodies against hICA69 in 100 healthy subjects and type Ⅰ diabetic serum by the use of indirect ELISA. The sequence analysis showed that the amplified fragments contained 1449 bp, encoded 483 amino acids, and had been correctly inserted into pGEX-2T vector. The recombinant proteins expressed in the prokaryotic cells had immunogenicity and could be used to detect antibodies against ICA69 in type Ⅰ diabetic serum. Finally it can be concluded in this paper that the expression products obtained by the method of gene engineering are recombinant ICA69 antigen and may be used to improve the forecast rate and the diagnostic rate of type Ⅰ diabetes in combination with other tests.

CT image fusion in the evaluation of radiation treatment planning for non-small cell lung cancer

Objective: We studied the application of CT image fusion in the evaluation of radiation treatment planning for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Eleven patients with NSCLC, who were treated with three-dimensional con-formal radiation therapy, were studied. Each patient underwent twice sequential planning CT scan, i.e., at pre-treatment, and at mid-treatment for field reduction planning. Three treatment plans were established in each patient: treatment plan A was based on the pre-treatment planning CT scans for the first course of treatment, plan B on the mid-treatment planning CT scans for the second course of treatment, and treatment plan F on the fused images for the whole treatment. The irradiation doses received by organs at risk in the whole treatment with treatment A and B plans were estimated by the plus of the parameters in treatment plan A and B, assuming that the parameters involve the different tissues (i.e. V20=AV20+BV20), or the same tissues within an organ (i.e. Dmax=ADmax+BDmax). The assessment parameters in the treatment plan F were calculated on the basis of the DVH of the whole treatment. Then the above assessment results were compared. Results: There were marked differ-ences between the assessment results derived from the plus of assessment parameters in treatment plan A and B, and the ones derived from treatment plan F. Conclusion: When a treatment plan is altered during the course of radiation treatment, image fusion technique should be performed in the establishment of a new one. The estimation of the assessment parameters for the whole treatment with treatment plan A and B by simple plus, is inaccurate.

Generation of Monoclonal Antibodies against Non-structural Protein 3AB of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus

To identify linear epitopes on the non-structural protein 3AB of foot-and-mouth disease virus （FMDV）, BABL/c mice were immunized with the 3AB protein and splenocytes of BALB/c mice were fused with myeloma Sp2/0 cells. Two hybridoma monoclonal antibodies （mAbs） cell lines against the 3AB protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus （FMDV） were obtained, named C6 and E7 respectively. The mieroneutralization titer was 1：1024 for mAb C6, and 1：512 for E7. Both mAbs contain kappa light chains, and were of subclass IgG2b. In order to define the mAbs binding epitopes, the reactivity of these mAbs against FMDV were examined by indirect ELISA. The results showed that both mAbs can react with FMDV, but had no cross-reactivity with Swine Vesicular Disease （SVD） antigens. The titers in abdomen liquor were 1：5×10^6 for C6 and 1：2×10^6 for E7. In conclusion, the mAbs obtained from this study are specific for the detection of FMDV, can be used for etiological and immunological researches on FMDV, and have potential use in diagnosis and future vaccine designs.

Medium Optimization of Tetraselmis sp.-1 Using Response Surface Methodology

Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to optimize the medium of Tetraselmis sp.-1 which is cell fused microalgae capable of growing under mixotrophic condition. Empirical models are developed to describe the relationships between the operating variables (glucose, urea, sodium dehydrogenate phosphate, sodium chloride) and responses (cell density). Statistical analysis indicates that glucose and urea have significant effects on the microalgae cell density, but other two factors (sodium dehydrogenate phosphate, sodium chloride) have no obvious effect. The path of steepest ascent is used to approach the optimal region of medium composition. Optimal cell density (2.638 g dry weight/L) was reached when the operating conditions were glucose concentration (30.75 %), urea concentration (0.440 g/L), sodium dehydrogenate phosphate (15 mg/L) and sodium chloride (28 g/L).

Sum Frequency Spectroscopy Studies on Cell Membrane Fusion Induced by Divalent Cations

Cell membrane fusion is a fundamental biological process involved in a number of cellular living functions. Regarding this, divalent cations can induce fusion of the lipid bilayers through binding and bridging of divalent cations to the charged lipids, thus leading to the cell membrane fusion. However, the elaborate mechanism of cell membrane fusion induced by divalent cations is still needed to be elucidated.Here, surface/interface sensitive sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy(SFG-VS) and dynamic light scattering(DLS) were applied in this research to study the responses of phospholipid monolayer to the exposure of divalent metal ions i.e.Ca^(2+)and Mg^(2+). According to the particle size distribution results measured by DLS experiments, it was found that Ca^(2+)could induce inter-vesicular fusion while Mg^(2+)could not. An octadecyltrichlorosilane self-assembled monolayer(OTS SAM)-lipid monolayer system was designed to model the cell membrane for the SFG-VS experiment. Ca^(2+)could interact with the lipid POO_(2)^(-)head groups more strongly, resulting in cell membrane fusion more easily, in comparison with Mg^(2+). No specific interaction between the two metal cations and the C=O groups was observed. However, the C=O orientations changed more after Ca^(2+)-PO2-binding than Mg^(2+)mediation on lipid monolayer. Meanwhile, Ca^(2+)could induce dehydration of the lipids(which should be related to the strong Ca^(2+)-PO_(2)^(-)interaction), leading to the reduced hindrance for cell membrane fusion.

Construction of a HERG mutant L539fs/47-*558W pEGFP vector and the expression of the fusion protein in HEK293 cells

Objective： To construct a human ether-a-go-go-related gene （HERG） nonsense mutant L539fs/47-558W into the autonomously fluorescent, eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-C2, and to verify expression of the reconstruct in human embryonic kidney-293 （HEK293） cells. Methods： The mutational fragment was subcloned into pEGFP-C2-HERG by double digestion of Sbf I, Eco91 1 and rejoining of T4 ligase. After verification, the recombinant pEGFP-C2-L539fs/47-558W and pEGFP-C2-HERG were respectively transfected into HEK293 cells for 48 h by the Lipofect method to observe the expression location of the fusion protein by laser confocal imaging scanning in vivo. pcDNA3 -L539fs/47-＊558W and pcDNA3-HERG were transfected to observe the expression location of the HERG protein by immunofluoresceoce. The mutant protein size was determined by Western blotting. Results： The about 1 kb-sized mutation region cDNA fragment from pcDNA3-L539fs/47-＊558Wand the about 7.2 kb-sized target vector fragment from pcDNA3-HERG were ligated after purification and gel recovery pEGFP-C2-L539fs/47＊-558W, approximately 8.2 kb, was demonstrated successfully been constructed under agarose gel electrophoresis and further sequencing. Laser confocal imaging showed that pEGFP-C2-HERG was mainly expressed in the membrane, whereas truncated mutant-type HERG in the pEGFP-C2 vector was partially located in the cytoplasm, the others were transported to the cell membrane in living HEK293 cells. The same as the immunofluoresceoce results after transfection of pcDNA3-HERG and pcDNA3-L539fs/47-558W. Wild-type HERG-GFP fusion protein expressed 160 and 180 kDa bands. The mutant and mutant-GFP fusion proteins were 70 and 100 kDa, respectively. Conclusion： pEGFP-C2-L539fs/47-＊558W was successfully constructed by double digestion method GFP had no effect on its protein expression and trafficking in HEK293 cells, which laid a foundation for the further study on L539fs/47-＊558W

A COLLABORATIVE LOCATION MODEL FOR CELLULAR MOBILE POSITION LOCATION

In cellular network, several Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) location algorithms can be applied to mobile position estimation. However, each algorithm has its own limitations and none of them is proved to be the most reliable one in different channel environments. In this paper Kleine-Ostmann's data fusion model is modified and a collaborative location model which incorporates position estimate of two TDOA location algorithms is proposed.Analysis and simulation show that more reliable and accurate mobile position estimation can be achieved based on this model.

lp norm inverse spectral decomposition and its multi-sparsity fusion interpretation

Spectral decomposition has been widely used in the detection and identifi cation of underground anomalous features(such as faults,river channels,and karst caves).However,the conventional spectral decomposition method is restrained by the window function,and hence,it mostly has low time–frequency focusing and resolution,thereby hampering the fi ne interpretation of seismic targets.To solve this problem,we investigated the sparse inverse spectral decomposition constrained by the lp norm(0<p≤1).Using a numerical model,we demonstrated the higher time–frequency resolution of this method and its capability for improving the seismic interpretation for thin layers.Moreover,given the actual underground geology that can be often complex,we further propose a p-norm constrained inverse spectral attribute interpretation method based on multiresolution time–frequency feature fusion.By comprehensively analyzing the time–frequency spectrum results constrained by the diff erent p-norms,we can obtain more refined interpretation results than those obtained by the traditional strategy,which incorporates a single norm constraint.Finally,the proposed strategy was applied to the processing and interpretation of actual three-dimensional seismic data for a study area covering about 230 km^(2) in western China.The results reveal that the surface water system in this area is characterized by stepwise convergence from a higher position in the north(a buried hill)toward the south and by the development of faults.We thus demonstrated that the proposed method has huge application potential in seismic interpretation.

Study of the impact of CT/CT image fusion radiotherapy on V_(20) and radiation pneumonitis of non-small cell lung cancer

Objective:The aim of our study was to investigate the value of CT/CT image fusion radiation treatment planning in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and the impact on V20 and radiation pneumonitis(RP).Methods:Patients who were pathologically or cytologically diagnosed of stage IIIA and IIIB NSCLC were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy(4000 cGy).Forty patients got at least 25% tumor reduction were randomly divided into two groups:group A of regular shrink field radiotherapy(20 cases) and group B of CT/CT image fused shrink field radiotherapy(20 cases).Dosage reached 6600 cGy.Clinical data,V20 and RP were observed within 3 months after radiotherapy.Statistical analysis was conducted for the NSCLC patients.Results:22.5%(9/40) patients got RP during follow-up.Group A accounted for 6 cases(30%),and group B had 3 cases(15%).There was no marked difference between the two groups(P = 0.256),univariate analysis revealed that the IV20 of A and B groups,and IV20 and CV20 of all patients were statistically related to the incidence of RP(P < 0.05).With Wilcoxon method assay,the ipsilateral lung V20 and contralateral lung V20 had statistical significance between the two groups(P < 0.05).Conclusion:The CT/CT image infusion treatment planning could increase the radical dosage with better tumor control probability but won't increase adverse reaction.

Comparative investigation on spindle behavior and MPF activity changes during oocyte maturation between gynogenetic and amphimictic crucian carp

The spindle behavior and MPF activity changes in the progression of oocyte maturation were investigated and compared with cytological observation and kinase assay between gynogenetic silver crucian carp and amphimictic colored crucian carp. MPF activity was measured by using histone H1 as phosphorylation substrate. There were two similar oscillatory MPF kinase activity changes during oocyte maturation in two kinds of fishes with different reproductive modes, but there existed some subtle difference between them. The subtle difference was that the first peak of MPF kinase activity was kept to a longerlasting time in the gynogenetic silver crucian carp than in the amphimictic colored crucian carp. It was suggested that the difference may be related to the spindle behavior changes, such as tripolar spindle formation and spindle rearrangement in the gynogenetic crucian carp.

Factors Affecting Electro－Fusion and Electro－Activation In Serial Nuclear Transplantation In Goat（Carpa hircus） Embryo

The effects of the status of both donor and recipient cells (different maturity and different transplantation generations) on serial nuclear transplantation in goat were studied, using, as indices, electro-fusion rate, and the cleavage rate and development rate of the cultured embryos. As shown by the results,no significant difference in fusion rate was noted between donor cells of different maturity (recovered 26-28 hrs as against 32-36 hrs after LRH treatment ) and both types of donor cells responded to the given electrostimulation. With cells from ICM as donor, the fusion rate was lower than that using cells from 8-16 celled embryos and morula (G0: 0.01<p<0.05; Gl:p>0.05). The generation of transplantation produced no apparent effect on fusion rate. With the given electro-stimulation conditions, the average fusion rate was 88.58% fur GO and 89.38% for G1; average cleavage rate, 39.36%fur G0 and 47.75% for G1; and the proportion of embryos developing to morula and blastula was 15.17% for G0 and 18.2% fur G1.
