Protopolystoma (Monogenea, Polystomatidae) is strictly specific to the anuran amphibian genus Xenopus. The host group is characterised by a polyploid series in which chromosome numbers reflect diploid, tetraploid, octoploid and dodecaploid constitutions; the series is considered to have evolved through interspecies hybridisation and genome duplication. This study correlates information on host evolutionary relationships with patterns of parasite speciation and host specificity. Protopolystoma is restricted to one subgenus (Xenopus) with multiples of 36 chromosomes, and is absent from the subgenus Silurana (with multiples of 20 chromosomes). Molecular, biochemical and karyotype evidence distinguishes three subgroups within Xenopus. Representative species from each subgroup, Xenopus muelleri, Xenopus fraseri and Xenopus laevis, have been examined for polystomatid infection. Two species of Protopolystoma occur in each of these host species. In X. muelleri, the two Protopolystoma species reflect parasite co-speciation corresponding with the divergence of two sibling host species. Xenopus fraseri and X. laevis (both with 2n = 36 chromosomes) are implicated in the hybrid origin of two octoploid species, Xenopus wittei and Xenopus vestitus (both 2n = 72). The relationships of the Protopolystoma species in these Xenopus taxa reflect this presumed ancestry. Xenopus wittei carries two species of Protopolystoma, one shared with X. fraseri and the other shared with X. laevis. Xenopus vestitus carries a single species of Protopolystoma which is shared with X. laevis but there is no "heirloom" which reflects its hybrid origin involving X. fraseri. In addition to these shared parasite species which may reflect shared host genes, X. fraseri and X. laevis each carry separate species-specific Protopolystoma which do not occur in other Xenopus species even where there is evidence of common genetic information (as in the allopolyploid wittei and vestitus). This case study may be interpreted as indicating a powerful influence of host genetic factors on susceptibility to infection, host-specificity, and parasite speciation.

Increased messenger RNA from protein synthesis inhibited human fibroblasts

Numerous reports have demonstrated that specific protein synthesis in response to specific inducers is markedly stimulated by a simultaneous brief exposure to protein synthesis inhibitors such as cycloheximide. This phenomenon is known as "superinduction" and is most often attributed to the accumulation of cytoplasmic messenger RNA during the inhibition period. Messenger RNA, as defined by rapid labeling, oligo (dt)-cellulose binding, and cell free protein synthesis stimulation was measured in cycloheximide treated human fibroblasts. In spite of a consistent 40% decrease in total polysomal 3H-uridine labeled RNA, a 1.5- to 2-fold increase in extractable mRNA was observed. These data provide direct evidence that protein synthesis inhibition stimulates the appearance of cytoplasmic mRNA and/or completely blocks its degradation and, are consistent with the hypothesis that mRNA accumulation partly underlies the superinduction phenomena.     

Subjective time experience in an intergenerational sample

The roles chronological age and gender play in subjective time experience were explored in a sample of 294 adult men and women. Subjective time experience (STE: the difference between subjective age and chronological age) was found to vary widely among individuals, with some being "accurate" (SA = CA), and others either "retarded" (SA less than CA) or "advanced" (SA greater than CA). Males were more retarded in STE than females at every point in the lifespan, and patterns of age differences in adulthood differed for the two sexes as well. The results suggest that chronological age may play a key role in transitions in STE, and that chronological age is more significant in the STE of women than in the STE of men.

Small bowel perforation secondary to metastatic lung carcinoma

Since 1961, there have been a total of seven patients with small bowel perforation caused by metastatic lung carcinoma reported in the literature. Perforation of the small bowel to metastatic lung carcinoma must be considered when evaluating older patients who have histories of heavy cigarette smoking and signs and symptoms suggestive of pulmonary neoplasia. Primary resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the perforated bowel is the treatment of choice. No patient with small bowel perforation secondary to lung carcinoma has survived more than four months.     

微波强化焙烧一水硬铝石矿浸出效果的研究

将一水硬铝石矿和过饱和NaOH溶液及Ca(OH)2混合均匀后在微波炉中焙烧;熟料在稀碱性溶液、常压条件下进行浸出,研究配料比、微波焙烧和浸出条件对熟料浸出的影响。结果表明,升高微波焙烧温度、增加NaOH添加量或延长保温时间都可以增加熟料中铝的浸出率。增加Ca(OH)2添加量可以减少溶液中硅的溶解率,但过量添加Ca(OH)2反而导致铝的浸出效果下降。适当的浸出温度和浸出时间有助于减少二次反应发生,提高铝硅分离效果。在最优试验条件下,熟料中铝、钠、硅的浸出率分别达到96.7%、98.2%和7.05%,赤泥颗粒较大,利于过滤过程。
