中国人的婚姻质量状况

目的：调查中国人婚烟满意状况。方法：用中国人婚姻质量问卷对1303名已婚者进行调查，其中夫妻配对资料224对。结果：无论是男性还是女性，总体满意度都处于中等水平，基本上呈正态分布，仅在性格相容和子女婚姻两个维度有统计学差异；约60％以上的人觉得自己的婚姻比较满意，30％的人认为基本满意，5％的体验到非常满意，只有2％左右的人感到不满意；夫妻婚姻质量具有较高的相关性，主观满意度一致的人数占60％以上，不一致或很不一致的人数只占100％。结论：中国人的总体婚姻质量处于中等水平，90％的夫妻对自己的婚姻感到满意，只有2％左右的人感到不满意。     

Manganese Superoxide Dismutase Gene Polymorphisms in Psoriatic Arthritis

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene polymorphisms in the susceptibility to psoriatic arthritis. MnSOD gene polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphisms method in fifty-two patients with psoriatic arthritis and 90 healthy controls. The genotype frequency of MnSOD 1183C/T was significantly higher in patients with psoriatic arthritis than in controls. In contrast, the frequency of MnSOD 1183T/T was significantly decreased in patients with psoriatic arthritis. The phenotype frequency of MnSOD 1183C was significantly increased in patients with psoriatics arthritis in comparison to healthy controls. Therefore, MnSOD 1183C polymorphisms may be a precipitating factor for the development of psoriatic arthritis.     

大鼠视交叉上核内VIP、AVP及SOM样神经元的相互关系──免疫组化双重反应法研究

视交叉上核具有生物钟功能已为很多实验研究所证实，但其功能机制尚在探索之中。本实验采用双重免疫组织化学反应技术对大鼠视交叉上核内ＶＩＰ、ＡＶＰ及ＳＯＭ样三大神经元群之间的相互联系进行了观察．结果表明：（１）ＶＩＰ样扣结广泛分布于ＡＶＰ样神经元周围，数量最多、密度最大；而ＳＯＭ样扣结贴附于ＶＩＰ及ＡＶＰ样神经元的数量次之；（２）ＡＶＰ样扣结与ＶＩＰ样神经元之间，ＶＩＰ样扣结与ＳＯＭ样神经元之间也形成联系．上述发现为视交叉上核功能机制的研究提供了进一步的形态学依据．     

摘除双侧眼球对大鼠视交叉上核节律性的影响

成年Ｗｉｓｔａｒ雌鼠５７只，随机分为实验组３０只，行双眼摘除术。对照组２７只。术后４周将各组动物体重相近的每３只列为一个配伍组，分别在０９：００～１０：００、１７：００～１８：００、２３：００～２４：００三个时间处死。将含有视交叉上核的脑组织经固定、恒冷箱切片后，用免疫组化ＡＢＣ法染色显示视交叉上核内含ＶＩＰ或ＡＶＰ的神经元，微机图像分析仪上测量光镜下这两种神经元的相对切面面积及平均免疫反应强度。结果：（１）对照组不同时间处死的动物ＶＩＰ能神经元切面面积以２３：００～２４：００最大，０９：００～１０：００次之，１７：００～１８：００最小，呈昼夜节律变化，ＡＶＰ能神经元也以２３：００～２４：００最大，但在０９：００～１０：００和１７：００～１８：００间差异无显著性；（２）摘除双眼后各时间组间ＶＩＰ能神经元和ＡＶＰ能神经元切面面积均不再显示显著性差异。提示实验组动物视交叉上核的这两种神经元功能活动的昼夜节律已发生改变；（３）实验组和对照组动物的ＶＩＰ能神经元和ＡＶＰ能神经元平均免疫反应强度在所测的三个时间中，均未见明显差异。

Role of a conserved amino-terminal sequence in the ecotropic MLV receptor mCAT1

The amino-terminus of mCAT1 and homologous proteins is predicted to form a positively charged, amphipathic alpha helix on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. Peptides with similar sequence motifs often provide membrane anchors, protein-protein interaction domains, or intracellular transport-targeting signals. Deleting most of the cytoplasmic N-terminal sequence of mCAT1 led to reduced expression on the cell surface and accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum but did not abrogate receptor function. Surprisingly, when the N-terminal 36 or 18 amino acids of mCAT1 were fused to green fluorescent protein (gfp), gfp accumulated almost exclusively in mitochondria. Mitochondrial targeting depended on arginines at positions 15 and 16 and was inhibitable by downstream transmembrane sequences. Although the full-length mCAT1 was not detected in mitochondria, the mitochondrial-targeting property of the N-terminal sequence fused to gfp is conserved in orthologous and paralogous proteins that diverged approximately 80 million years ago, suggesting a conserved biological function. We propose that the conserved N-terminal motif of CAT proteins provides a regulatable signal for transport to, or retention in, different cell membrane compartments.     

Distinct protein degradation mechanisms mediated by Cul1 and Cul3 controlling Ci stability in Drosophila eye development

The ubiquitin-like protein, Nedd8, covalently modifies members of the Cullin family. Cullins are the major components of a series of ubiquitin ligases that control the degradation of a broad range of proteins. We found that Nedd8 modifies Cul1 in Drosophila. In Drosophila Nedd8 and Cul1 mutants, protein levels of the signal transduction effectors, Cubitus interruptus (Ci) and Armadillo (Arm), and the cell cycle regulator, Cyclin E (CycE), are highly accumulated, suggesting that the Cul1-based SCF complex requires Nedd8 modification for the degradation processes of Ci, Arm, and CycE in vivo. We further show that two distinct degradation mechanisms modulating Ci stability in the developing eye disc are separated by the morphogenetic furrow (MF) in which retinal differentiation is initiated. In cells anterior to the MF, Ci proteolytic processing promoted by PKA requires the activity of the Nedd8-modified Cul1-based SCF(Slimb) complex. In posterior cells, Ci degradation is controlled by a mechanism that requires the activity of Cul3, another member of the Cullin family. This posterior Ci degradation mechanism, which partially requires Nedd8 modification, is activated by Hedgehog (Hh) signaling and is PKA-independent.
