Morphological and functional studies on the epidermal cells of amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense) at different developmental stages

Epidermal cells of amphioxus at different developmental stages were investigated by electron microscopy and colloidal carbon tracing experiments. Amphioxus epidermal cells showed different ultrastructural characteristics at larval and adult stages. The epidermal cells at all larval stages studied (24–96 h) had numerous vesicles containing electron dense materials in their apical cytoplasm. In tracing experiments, carbon particles were found in apical vesicles and interoellular spaces. Under scanning electron microscope, many crater-like protrusions were observed on the surface of the cells. These results indicated that amphioxus larval epidermal cells may be capable of endocytosis. The epidermal cells of 3-month and adult amphioxus were obviously secretory ones characterized by well-developed peripheral filaments, a prominent Golgi apparatus and abundant apical secretory vesicles. This study also showed that adult amphioxus body surface mucus contained lectin that could agglutinate human red blood cells. The authors propose that the epidermal cells of amphioxus larva and adult may contribute to the immune defense of the amimal by different means.

太平洋鳕(Gadus macrocephalus)精液超低温冷冻方法的建立及精子超微结构分析

采用分步降温法冷冻保存太平洋鳕(Gadus macrocephalus)精液,并用扫描电镜和透射电镜技术研究了精子的超微结构损伤。分析了添加剂(蛋黄)及五种抗冻剂(PG(丙二醇)、DMSO(二甲基亚砜)、EG(乙二醇)、GLY(甘油)、MeOH(甲醇))不同浓度(8%、10%、12%、14%、16%、18%)对太平洋鳕精子冷冻保存效果的影响。实验结果表明,蛋黄能够显著提高太平洋鳕冷冻保存效果(P0.05);12%PG中添加10%蛋黄保存的冻融精子运动率最高(85.87%±1.6%),显著高于其他冻存组(P0.05)。添加蛋黄的12%浓度的DMSO组解冻后精子运动速率较高,平均直线速度、平均曲线速度、平均路径速度分别达到了(120.39±20.78)μm/s、(120.39±20.78)μm/s、(155.64±12.02)μm/s,与其他各实验组差异显著(P0.05)。通过扫描电镜和透射电镜观察新鲜和冻融后的鳕鱼精子发现,鲜精中75.5%精子形态结构正常、24.5%精子形态结构异常;运动率最高的冻精中67%精子形态结构正常、33%精子形态结构异常。超低温保存对太平洋鳕精子结构产生了显著影响,细胞膜破裂、线粒体肿胀变形,鞭毛脱落、断裂。     

泥蚶血红蛋白异源四聚体酶解多肽抗菌活性及其机理研究

采用凝胶层析技术从泥蚶血细胞裂解物中纯化得到两种血红蛋白Tg-HbⅡ(异源四聚体)和TgHbⅠ(同源二聚体),回收率分别为48.15%和24.91%。胰蛋白酶酶解Tg-HbⅡ,酶解液经反相C-18色谱柱分离纯化得7种血红蛋白源多肽F1~F7。通过琼脂扩散法检测酶解多肽抑菌活性,结果发现7种多肽对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌、恶臭假单胞菌、枯草芽孢杆菌和坚强芽孢杆菌均无抑菌作用,但多肽F2~F7对副溶血弧菌、溶藻弧菌和哈维氏弧菌具有明显抗菌活性,且多肽F2~F7对副溶血弧菌、溶藻弧菌和哈维氏弧菌的MIC值在0.012~0.200mg/mL范围内。荧光显微镜观察酶解多肽杀菌效果发现多肽杀菌迅速,5min内弧菌细胞几乎全部死亡。利用透射电子显微镜观察正常的和经抗菌肽处理后的溶藻弧菌和哈维氏弧菌细胞的超微结构,结果显示,对照组正常细胞内部结构完整,而经抗菌肽处理过的细胞其细胞壁完整,但因缺乏细胞内容物支持导致局部区域内陷,细胞质膜明显收缩,细胞内物质外流形成许多空泡从而导致细胞死亡。研究结果表明血红蛋白源抗菌肽对泥蚶致病菌弧菌有明显的抗菌活性,其通过破坏细胞内部结构而起到杀菌作用,这些发现为血红蛋白抗菌机制的研究奠定了基础。     

Cuticle ultrastructure of Pseudofrenelopsis gansuensis: Further taxonomical implications for Cheirolepidiaceae

A study of the cheirolepidiaceous conifer Pseudofrenelopsis gansuensis from the Lower Cretaceous of Wangqing Jilin Province in China was conducted in detail using scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. In total, nine ultrastructural features were recognized for the cuticle of this fossil plant, which are helpful in the distinguishing between cuticles of ordinary epidermal cells, subsidiary cells, guard cells and hypodermal cells of the stomatal apparatus. A three dimensional reconstruction of the cuticle ultrastructure was obtained. Pseudofrenelopsis gansuensis is the second species of this genus for which the cuticle ultrastructure has been statistically examined with 30 measurements and estimated confidence interval values. The close comparison of the cuticle ultrastructure characters, including statistical data, among Cheirolepidiaceae and other fossil conifers provides potential evidence of the taxonomic significance of this genus: ten characters are potentially valuable for specific separation, eleven parameters for generic separation and three parameters seem also to be useful for Family determination. The differences in the chemical composition according to preliminary statistical element analyses of the cuticles based on three ratios in two species of Pseudofrenelopsis, P. dalatzensis and P. gansuensis, should also be examined in future studies.     

丁青和新喀里多尼亚玻安岩类的辉石及其超微结构

本文对西藏丁青玻安岩类深成岩的辉石和新喀里多尼亚玻安岩的斜顽辉石进行了矿物学工作及高分辨电镜观察。丁青斜方辉石堆晶岩辉石的超微结构包括:单斜辉石的(100)双晶、斜方辉石a/4平移畴结构及斜方辉石—单斜辉石相转变。玻安岩斜顽辉石典型超微结构是(100)双晶。由矿物的碎裂、错动以及斜方辉石—单斜辉石相变中只出现偶数倍单斜辉石等表明:矿物结晶及成岩过程中曾受应力作用、后者可能与岩石所处的构造位置有关。由辉石成分计算的地质温度表明,丁青堆晶斜方辉石岩的辉石是在高温下晶出、岩石固结温度是1013～1111℃,当它们在～1000℃下稳定时,斜方辉石出溶了单斜辉石片晶。将玻安岩斜顽辉石加热至1100℃后淬冷及按120℃/h速度冷却均未得到纯的斜顽辉石,可能斜顽辉石是原顽火辉石在应力环境中高温淬冷所成。
