地市台电视科教栏目建设的几点思考

地市台的科教栏目要有亲和力,要有严谨的科学态度,要有准确、实用的内容。所谓＂实用＂是指栏目所拍摄的题目是与本地区人民群众生产生活、社会经济的发展有着密切关联的各种科技问题,指向性突出。采之于生活实际,指导实际生活,准确反映本地区生存环境状态、社会经济发展及人文风貌。     

承德市森林植被净初级生产力的遥感估算

以承德市的森林分布区为研究区域,基于改进的光能利用率模型,利用2008年MODIS/NDVI产品和地面气象站点数据,结合土地覆被类型,估算承德市森林植被的年净初级生产力,并分析其时空分布格局.研究结果表明:2008年承德市森林NPP的总量为1.075×108 g.a-1,年平均值为424.59 g.m-2.a-1,NPP最高值为656.78 g.m-2.a-1.总体空间分布趋势是东南高,西北低,其季节变化较明显,呈单峰型.

Ds-echinoside A, a new triterpene glycoside derived from sea cucumber, exhibits antimetastatic activity via the inhibition of NF-κB-dependent MMP-9 and VEGF expressions

Ds-echinoside A (DSEA), a non-sulfated triterpene glycoside, was isolated from the sea cucumber Pearsonothuria graeffei. In vitro and in vivo investigations were conducted on the effects of DSEA on tumor cell adhesion, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. In this study, we found that DSEA inhibited the proliferation of human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cells Hep G2, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of 2.65 μmol/L, and suppressed Hep G2 cell adhesion, migration, and invasion in a dose-dependent manner. DSEA also reduced tube formation of human endothelial cells ECV-304 on matrigel in vitro and attenuated neovascularization in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay in vivo. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that DSEA significantly decreased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which plays an important role in the degradation of basement membrane in tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. DSEA also increased the protein expression level of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), an important regulator of MMP-9 activation. From the results of Western blotting, the expressions of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were found to be remarkably reduced by DSEA. These findings suggest that DSEA exhibits a significant antimetastatic activity through the specific inhibition of NF-κB-dependent MMP-9 and VEGF expressions.     

An efficient method of addressing ectopic beats: new insight into data preprocessing of heart rate variability analysis

Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is affected by ectopic beats. An efficient method was proposed to deal with the ectopic beats. The method was based on trend correlation of the heart timing signal. Predictor of R-R interval (RRI) value at ectopic beat time was constructed by the weight calculation and the slope estimation of preceding normal RRI. The type of ectopic beat was detected and replaced by the predictor of RRI. The performance of the simulated signal after ectopic correction was tested by the standard value using power spectrum density (PSD) estimation, whereas the results of clinical data with ectopic beats were compared with the adjacent ectopic-free data. The result showed the frequency indexes after ectopy corrected had less error than other methods with the test of simulated signal and clinical data. It indicated our method could improve the PSD estimation in HRV analysis. The method had advantages of high accuracy and real time properties to recover the sinus node modulation.
