中国的传统染织纹样及其对日本染织纹样的影响

本文总结了中国与日本之间染织文化交流的历程和中国传统染织纹样的发展,分析了中国文化对日本染织纹样的影响,以及日本传统染织纹样异于中国的特点和日本风格的形成。作者认为:1.日本传统染织纹样在母题、形式、内涵和名称诸方面受到中国的影响极大;2.这种影响以唐代和宋元为甚,明代以后日本逐渐自成一家;3.被称为“和样意匠”的日本风染织纹样表现了日本独特的民族性和审美情趣,特别是日本人对色彩的特殊感觉和嗜好;4.主要是由于技术上的原因,日本在印染方面的成就高于织绣纹样方面的成就,中国则相反。     

人类锌指蛋白新基因ZNF641的克隆及表达

从人类心脏cDNA文库中分离并鉴定了一个新的人类锌指基因ZNF641,该基因的cDNA序列全长4．9kb,编码一个含438个氨基酸的蛋白质,从进化上看,该蛋白质在从小鼠到人的脊椎动物中都高度保守．Northern Blot分析显示：ZNF641在人类的多数组织中都有表达,尤其是在骨骼肌中有较高水平的表达．而亚细胞定位则显示ZNF641在细胞核及细胞质中均有定位．     

希伯来文化——索尔贝娄作品中的永恒母题

母题表述的是一种集体的文化意识,源自于本民族的文化价值观、集体记忆和民族传统意识。母题中蕴涵的民族文化积淀决定了作品的文化倾向和人物的文化身份。希伯来文化一直是索尔贝娄的创作母题,它决定了贝娄的写作风格、语言表达、人物呈现和主题展开。对希伯来文化的认同使贝娄摆脱了边缘人的困境,成为一个超越种族和文化限制的人类作家。     

LysM蛋白在植物免疫中的作用

溶解素基序（LysM）是在多种蛋白质中普遍存在的结构域.植物LysM蛋白能够感知几丁质及其寡糖等分子配体,从而启动植物对病原菌的免疫反应.在水稻、拟南芥等植物免疫应答过程中,LysM蛋白作为一种重要的模式识别受体,通过不同形式的寡聚化,激活多种类受体胞质激酶及其下游的MAPK（mitogen activated protein kinase）级联反应传递信号.同时,蛋白质可逆磷酸化和蛋白质降解途径可以负调节LysM蛋白介导的防御信号转导.文章综述了植物免疫过程中LysM蛋白介导的信号转导分子机制.     

佛经文学与六朝小说三生缘母题

三生生命观是佛教对有情众生的生命演化进行的全新解释,它把人的生命流转分为前世、今生、来世三段,这种有别于中土一世生命说的观点,经过汉译佛经的传布,以其新奇性和合乎生活经验的解释深深地吸引了六朝中土文人,六朝小说对三生缘母题的演绎就是这一影响下的直接成果。三生缘母题在中土后世小说中多有演化。     

Oscillatory and anti-oscillatory motifs in genetic regulatory networks

Recently,self-sustained oscillatory genetic regulatory networks(GRNs) have attracted significant attention in the biological field.Given a GRN,it is important to anticipate whether the network could generate oscillation with proper parameters,and what the key ingredients for the oscillation are.In this paper the ranges of some function-related parameters which are favorable to sustained oscillations are considered.In particular,some oscillatory motifs appearing with high-frequency in most of the oscillatory GRNs are observed.Moreover,there are some anti-oscillatory motifs which have a strong oscillation repressing effect.Some conclusions analyzing these motif effects and constructing oscillatory GRNs are provided.     

A sensitive, rapid ferricyanide-mediated toxicity bioassay developed using Escherichia coli

A need for rapid toxicity techniques has seen recent research into developing new microbiological assays and characterising their toxicity responses using a range of substances. A microbiological bioassay that determines changes in ferricyanide-mediated respiration for toxicity measurement (FM-TOX) shows particular promise. The development and optimisation of an improved FM-TOX method, incorporating novel features, is described using Escherichia coli as the biocatalyst. Omission of an exogenous carbon source, used in previously described FM-TOX assays, substantially improves the assay sensitivity. In addition, the development of a two-step procedure (toxicant exposure followed by determination of microbial respiratory activity) was found to enhance the inhibition of E. coli by 3,5-dichlorophenol and four other toxicants, compared to single-step procedures. Other assay parameters, such as the ferricyanide concentration, exposure times and optical density of the biocatalyst were also optimised, sometimes based on practical aspects. Toxicity tests were carried out using the adopted technique on both organic and inorganic toxicants, with classic sigmoid-shaped dose-response curves observed, as well as some non-standard responses. IC₅₀ data is presented for a number of common toxicants. The optimised assay provides a good foundation for further toxicity testing using E. coli, as well as the potential for expanding the technique to utilise other bacteria with complementary toxicity responses, thereby allowing use of the assay in a range of applications.     

A biomimetic approach to the synthesis of a mycolic acid motif

A new method for the stereoselective synthesis of the (R,R)-β-hydroxy-α-alkyl fatty acid fragment of mycolic acids, via an asymmetric anti-aldol reaction is reported. The ‘mycolic acid motif’ fragment was prepared in three steps and >98% ee.     

367名幼儿智力发育与血中五种元素相关性分析

为探讨血铜、锌、钙、镁、铁5种元素对儿童智力的影响及其相关性,采用首都儿科研究所编制的0—6岁儿童神经心理发育量表,对367名2—4岁儿童进行现场智力测试并对抚养人进行问卷调查;采集其指尖末梢血,运用原子吸收光谱仪检测了儿童血铜、锌、钙、镁、铁5种元素含量。结果表明,调查对象血铜、锌、钙、镁、铁5种元素低下,检出率分别为25．1％、76．6％、5．7％、1．4％、37．1％,城乡儿童全血铜、锌、钙存在明显差异（P〈0．05）;儿童智力低下检出率为2．4％,儿童智能发育与其年龄、母亲文化水平、是否接受学前教育、血锌、铁呈正相关,与血钙、铜呈负相关。提示该地区2—4岁儿童血铜、锌、铁低下检出率较高,智能发育总体较为合理,但受血铜、锌、铁等多种因素影响,提高父母文化素质,加强儿童早期教育及营养有助于促进儿童智能发育。
