Effect of type II collagen treatment on the antioxidant status in immune tissues of adjuvant induced arthritic rats

Adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) is a model widely used to study Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the present study, lipid peroxides level in spleen and thymus of AIA rats was observed to be significantly high compared to normal rats. A significant decrease in ascorbic acid (ASA), reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) was also observed in spleen and thymus of AIA rats compared to normal rats. There was also a steady increase in the circulating immune complex level (CIC) throughout the experimental period in serum of AIA rats. In the present investigation, it was decided to study the effect of pre and post treatment with TYPE II collagen on the antioxidant status and the circulating immune complex level in AIA rats. The results from the present work indicates that the pretreatment with TYPE II collagen was effective in bringing significant changes on all the parameters studied in AIA rats. The post treatment with TYPE II collagen was effective in bringing significant changes on the CIC immune complex level and GSH content in the thymus tissue of AIA rats. The present work suggests that the pre treatment with TYPE II collagen was more effective in suppressing the disease than the post treatment.     

三种三尖杉属植物越冬期光合器的功能和膜蛋白成分的比较研究

本文对三尖杉属中三种植物即：三尖杉Cephalotaxus fortunei，粗榧C.sinensis 和柱   冠日本粗榧C.harringtonia cv．Fastigiata越冬期的光合器功能进行了研究。研究结果表明   这三种常绿三尖杉植物越冬时叶绿体的光合放氧活性受到抑制，但光系统II中心的活性和镁   离子调节光能分配的功能存在。说明其越冬特性与松柏科植物类似。     叶绿体膜的低温荧光测定结果表明三种植物的F685,F695和F735的比率各不相同。用SDS—   聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析叶绿体膜蛋白，发现柱冠日本粗榧的多肽数与三尖杉和粗榧有明显差异。以上特征可能有助于分类或系统位置的研究。     

广西资源县晓锦遗址第二期出土古稻研究

用欧氏距离比较、粒型判别函数等方法,对广西资源晓锦遗址第二期出土的154粒完整炭化稻米,经过复原为新鲜稻谷后,通过综合分析认为:晓锦二期古稻属于倾粳稻类型的栽培古稻群。在判别函数和距离测定数据指标上都属于粳稻类型。在形态上最近于粳稻,与普通野稻最远,表明己是栽培稻。该群古稻与参照系差别较大,粒型大而重。

The World War II crisis innovation model: What was it,and where does it apply?

World War II was one of the most acute emergencies in U.S. history, and the first where mobilizing science and technology was a major part of the government response. The U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) led a far-ranging research effort to develop technologies and medical treatments that not only helped win the war, but also transformed civilian life. Scholars and policymakers have appealed to the wartime approach as a template for other problems, typically focusing on the Manhattan Project, but overlooking the broader OSRD effort of which atomic fission and dozens of other programs were a part. In this paper we bring OSRD into focus, describe how it worked, and explore what insights its experience offers today. We argue that several aspects of OSRD continue to be relevant, especially in crises, while also cautioning on the limits to generalizing from World War II to other settings.
