    Statistical analysis of 2-level orthogonal saturated designs:the procedure of searching zero effects(Chinese)
    ZHANG Xiao-qin;ZHANG Ying-shan;MAO Shi-song
    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (1): 51-59.  
    Abstract3197)      PDF (342KB)(390)      
    The difficulty of analyzing orthogonal saturated designs is that there are no degrees of freedom to estimate the error variance, so that the ordinary ANOVA is no more available. The paper proposes a new method to identify the number of the effect parameters which is equal to zero, namely the Procedure of Searching Zero Effects. This proposed method is based on the mean of the order statistics. Consequently, the error variance is estimated and the active effects are identified.

    Pulmonary nodule segmentation algorithm based on three-domain mean shift clustering(English)
    NIE Sheng-dong;LI Li-hong;CHEN Zhao-xue
    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (1): 60-67.  
    Abstract3883)      PDF (574KB)(606)      
    In a Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) scheme for pulmonary nodules using computed tomography (CT) images, nodule segmentation is an important intermediate step, which impacts a great influence on the final performance of detection. In order to improve the detection rate of nodule and suppress the false positive, a more effective and physical meaningful nodule segmentation method is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is based on mean shift clustering method and CI (Convergence Index) features, which could represent the multiple Gaussian model of pulmonary nodules both for solid and sub-solid, substantially. This approach is based on an idea of utilizing features in a more "active" way, that is, we integrate the feature to the segmentation algorithm rather than just calculate them after segmentation. The presented segmentation method can figure out the outline of pulmonary nodules more precisely and especially suitable for the segmentation of sub-solid nodules.

    HU Zhen-peng;QIAN Hai-feng;LI Zhi-bin
    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (1): 83-88.  
    Abstract3136)      PDF (498KB)(643)      
    Based on the identity-based signcryption, this paper proposed a multi-receiver identity-based proxy signcryption scheme, in which some good characteristics of bilinear pairing are used. The new scheme offers a good solution to the problem of signature with a lot of multi-receiver. Additionally, this scheme which can achieve confidentiality, public verification and high security, was simply designed and easily implemented. Only one pairing computation is needed in it to signcrypt a single message for all receivers. As a result, the efficiency gain of the new scheme is huge especially when there are a large number of recipients.

    Relationship between vegetation and urbanheat-island effect in Shanghai (Chinese)
    TANG Xi;SHU Jiong;YUE Qun
    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (1): 119-128.  
    Abstract3933)      PDF (929KB)(733)      
    The gray-scale values of band 6 of Shanghai Landsat ETM+ images acquired on 13 March and 3 July in 2001, were converted to pixel brightness temperature to represent the land surface temperature distribution by calculating model of ETM+ TIR brightness temperature. And the overall characteristics, variability, and related influencing factors of urban brightness temperature heat island was generalized. Then regression analyses between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and brightness temperature on local scale in different landcover types revealed a significant inverse correlation between radiation temperature and vegetation level, and the cooling effect of vegetation on underlaying surface was stronger in summer than in spring. Furthermore, comparisons of the regression lines’ slopes implied that the vegetation’s influence upon surface temperature is conditioned by the underlaying surface structures, so while increasing same vegetation in well-vegetated and sparsely or non-vegetated areas during the summer daytime, the former’s extent of temperature declining is inferior to the latter’s. As suggested, vegetation planning must be adaptive to the local conditions of different land environment.

    Abstract4023)      PDF (631KB)(722)      
    This analysis of suspended sediment concentration(SSC) was based on abundant in-situ data in recent years.The results show that:(1)the SSC in the Hangzhou Bay is the highest, in the Yangtze estuary is the second, and in the Zhoushan sea areas is the lowest; the SSC reduces gradually from the near-shore areas to the open sea, with higher in the west region and lower in the east region; the SSC shows the trend of increasing firstly from the inner estuary to the mouth, and then decreasing from the mouth to the outer estuary; at the observation stations in the Hangzhou Bay the SSC reduces from west to east.The SSC increases from north to south by transverse comparison of four stations in the outer estuary; the SSC increases generally from surface layers to bottom layers, but the main types of the vertical distributions are different in different waters. (2) The SSC has obvious and complex variations with tidal cycle, resulting from the fluctuations of the tidal currents. In addition, a preliminary analysis of reasons for the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of the SSC in the study area was also made.

    Abundance and biomass of meiobenthos in the sea areasof Yangshan Deepwater Port(Chinese)
    YU Na;LI Yun-kai;SUN Xin-jin;CHEN Li-qiao
    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (2): 22-29.  
    Abstract3728)      PDF (719KB)(1006)      
    The benthic meiofauna was quantitatively investigated from 19 stations in the sea areas of the First-phase Project of Yangshan Deepwater Port in November, 2005 and ten meiofauna groups, including nematodan, copepodan, polychaetan, bivalvian, ostracodan, amphipodan, tanaidacean,cumacean, gastropodan and foraminiferan, were recorded. Among them, the dominant fauna was nematodan with average abundance 154.05ind/(10 cm2); the following dominant ones in turn were ostracodan (58.37ind/(10 cm2)), foraminiferan(30.59ind/(10 cm2))and polychaetan(15.09ind/(10 cm2)). As to individual dry weights of meiofauna groups, the first four dominant biomass were foraminiferan(1 254.10ind/(10 cm2)), ostracodan(1 517.52ind/(10 cm2)), bivalvian(315.33ind/(10 cm2))and polychaetan(200.13ind/(10 cm2)); while nematodan lied below them with its biomass only 61.62ind/(10 cm2). There were differences of horizontal distribution between the abundance and biomass of meiofauna in 19 stations. The high abundance areas were presented from Luchao Port to Little Yangshan Island, and the high biomass areas were presented near Big and Little Yangshan Islands. Their distribution rules were not found, and the phenomena might be due to the large engineering project in East China Sea which has divided the whole distribution of meiofauna into several discontinuous parts. The results gained support from the analysis of unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic (UPGMA). The UPGMA analysisshowed that some separate stations had been brought together, which did not meet with the distribution rules of fauna. However, the high abundance of ostracodan and foraminiferan was distributed in deeper water while the high abundance of nematodan was presented in coastal water, and they could meet the distribution rules of these fauna groups.

    Abstract3611)      PDF (697KB)(659)      
    In this paper,an artificial greenbelt and a lab-scale rainfall device were used to study the pollutant removal mechanisms of stromwater runoff through urban greenbelt.The results showed that,it was the cooperation of biological and abiological actions that caused the reduction of runoff contaminants. The average removal efficiencies of COD,NH4+-N,NO3--N,TN and TP were 41.3%,44.1%,38.5%,38.2% and 39.0% respectively. Soil adsorption actions play the most important role during the rainfall,and microbial degradation mainly operates from the 5th day to the 8th day after rainfall. About in two weeks,COD,NH4+-N,NO3--N,TN and TP were basically removed and the soil were restored for next rainfall.

    To study the influence of gp150 protein on the gene expression during Dictyostelium discoideum development, differential display was used to analyze the differences of gene expression between the wild cells KAx-3 and the mutant cells AK127 (absence of gp150) at 14 h of their development. The results indicated that gene expressions are obviously different between the two type cells. The 275 bp fragments which did not express in the mutant cells showed partial sequence similar to the gene encoding histidine kinase, STATc protein and homeobox protein. The data suggest that mutant cells cannot complete development because gp150 is responsible for the mediation of the gene expression of some regulatory factor

    Abstract3998)      PDF (379KB)(407)      
    The cingulate cortex in the prefrontal cortex is an encephalic region that closely relates to the sensory function. The thalamic tactile response can be modulated by cingulate cortex. Using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) retrograde tracing technique, the pathway that anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) modulates sensory information of thalamic ventrobasal (VB) nucleus was investigated. The experiments were performed using 10 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats that were anesthetized with napental (1%). The results suggested that VB nucleus could accept the projections from posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). In addition, PCC had projections from ACC as well. Therefore, the circuit loop of ACC-PCC-thalamic VB nucleus might be one of the pathways by which ACC modulates the activities of tactile neurons in thalamic VB nucleus.

    Abstract3137)      PDF (703KB)(429)      
    The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the lateral nucleus of amygdala stimulation on the auditory response in the auditory cortex evoked by frequency-modulated sound. The experiments were performed on 34 urethane anesthetized SD rats using extracellular recording. 113 auditory neurons were recorded in the cortical area 41. The auditory response pattern includes ON response, OFF response, ON-OFF response, sustained response and suppression of the spontaneous discharge. 42 neurons were recorded with the amygdala stimulation. The results showed that the facilitated and inhibitory effects were 22% and 48% respectively. The other 30% of recorded neurons has no change to the stimulation. The influence of the amygdala on the auditory response indicated that the amygdala can engage in the auditory ascending information process and integration in the cortex level. It suggests that the amygdala may have an important role in the selection of the auditory ascending information.

    Abstract4124)      PDF (661KB)(449)      
    Cyclin C binds the cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (cdk8) , which regulates transcription by phosphorylating RNA polymerase II and TFIIH. The effect of cyclin C on zygotic transcription activation during vertebrate embryonic development is poorly understood.This paper described the clone and developmental expression pattern of zebrafish cyclin C cDNA. It was highly conserved, sharing 88% amino acid sequence identity with human cyclin C, thereby indicating an important role for the protein. Northern blotting and whole mount in situ hybridisation revealed expression of zebrafish cyclin C maternally, following the onset of zygotic transcription at the mid-blastula transition (MBT) and throughout embryonic development.

    The spores of Cheilolejeunea ventricosa (Schiffn.) X.L.He were cultured on MS media (without acid and vitamin, pH=6.2, with 1% agar and 1% sucrose). The sporeling development and oil body ontogeny were observed. After a 55-day-long axenic culture, young plants were obtained successfully. Sodium hypochlorite solution was used to sterilize the capsules. Our results revealed that the sterilizing treatment with 0.1% Sodium hypochlorite solution for a period of 5 seconds was optimal. Oil bodies in primary protonemata are nearly homogeneous, but distinctly compound in the leaf cells of the primary leafy shoots. The spore germination and sporeling of Cheilolejeunea ventricosa belongs to Lejeunea type.

    One strain which could use phenanthrene as sole carbon source was isolated from petroleum and heavy metal containminated soil,collected from old industry depot in northeast China.Based on morphological and physio-biochemical characteristics and homology identification of 16S rDNA sequence,the strain ZX16 was identified as Sphingomonas aromaticivorans.In the mineral salts medium under initial phenanthrene concentration of 1 500 mg/L the removal rates of phenanthrene was 98.2% within 72 h. Tolerance of ZX16 to phenanthrene exceeds 2 500 mg/L and ZX16 was relatively to the cell growth at neutral pH value. The effect of different heavy metal on degrading rate was Cu2+>Cd2+>Zn2+>Pb2+in order. Microstructure of cell surface screening by Atomic Force Microscopy shows that the volume and morphous of strain have significant changes and the surface also changes from rough to smooth and glossy.

    Abstract3454)      PDF (719KB)(660)      
    Conventional electrophysiological technique was used to investigate the influences of electrical stimulation to medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) on the acoustically evoked responses of auditory cortical (AC) neurons in 40 rats. Among 122 AC neurons isolated, the influences of mPFC on the acoustically evoked responses of 93 AC neurons were investigated systematically. 20 (21.5%) neurons were not affected, but the acoustically evoked responses of the remaining (73 neurons, 78.5%) were either facilitated (39 neurons,41.9%) or inhibited (34 neurons, 36.6%). The degree of facilitation and inhibition in the acoustically evoked responses was dependent upon the time intervals between acoustic and electrical stimuli. The best intervals of facilitation or inhibition were between 5 and 30 ms (mostly 10 and 15 ms). Our findings suggest that the mPFC may affect the activity of AC neurons through different multi-synaptic pathways.

    The effect of initial data on the state of nonlinear systems (evolution equation and ordinary differential equations) at a fixed later time T is an important subject to study. The maximum norm of disturbances at time T when the finite amplitude of initial data disturbances restricted in a region (called the initial disturbance region) is studied. By considering the solutions to the problems of backwards in time and the hypothesizing the continuously dependence of solutions to the initial dada, it is proved that if the maximum norm of disturbances at time T is attained, then the initial data are at the boundary of the initial disturbance region. The importance of the results is on reducing the computation labor of the maximum norm of the disturbances.

    This paper used tree ring analysis to study growth patterns of Castanopsis carlesii, Schima superba and Lithocarpus glaber. The results indicate that: (1) Castanopsis carlesii has the fastest diameter growth rate and height growth rate among three species. Schima superba has bigger variation in growth rate among individuals and size classes, suggesting greater growth plastic for Schima superba and steadier growth rate for Castanopsis carlesii and Lithocarpus glaber. (2) Six canopy accession types are divided basing on the number of releases and suppressions happened in canopy accession process. The average growth rates are contrasted among different canopy accession types and species. The growth rate decreased with the increasing of releases and suppressions trees experienced. Schima superba experienced more releases and suppressions than Castanopsis carlesii, which expanding their difference in canopy accession speed. (3) Castanopsis carlesii and Schima superba have different growth patterns: the former takes its own growth way insensibly to variation in light, however the latter changes its growth way. Differentiation of growth pattern, which is the synthesis of adaptive strategies to variation in light, may be an important mechanism to explain the coexistence of so much species in evergreen broadleared forest(EBLF).

    The twenty-two strains of luminous bacteria from the body of the fish,Gymnocypris przewalkii, in Qinghai Lake, were isolated .They were submitted to an extensive phenotypic characterization, which included the test of their ability to utilize 51 organic compounds.The results indicated that the twenty-two strains belonged in the Vibrio qinghaiensis. They could utilize many kinds of organic compounds as sole carbon source and energy source ,and accumulate PHB in their cells. Their optimal growth pH was of pH 9.0.They could grow in media without sodium ions, and the salt concentration of their optimal growth was of 1%~1.2%. So they were different from the luminous bacteria living in sea water. In addition, all of these isolated twenty-two strains could grow at 40 ℃,and previously reported strains of Vibrio qinghaiensis were only of 10% at this temperature. The morphology observation using electronic microscope showed that on the surface of the bacteria there were some peripheral tubular projections, besides a polar single flagellum, and these projections were evidently different from bacteria flagella or pili, and which were never reported previously on the other species of luminescent bacteria now.

    Abstract4046)      PDF (782KB)(644)      
    The thermal decomposition behavior of metal-oxygen clusters with Dawson structure, YmHnP2M18O62&#8226;qH2O, was systematically investigated using the X-ray power thermodiffractometry and FTIR at different temperatures, TG-DTA. The experimental results indicated that Dawson-type metal-oxygen clusters with anion,[P2Mo18O62]6-,and different counter cations,NH4+,Cu2+,K+,underwent an irreversible thermal rearrangement around 210 ℃,240 ℃,250 ℃, respectively to give the corresponding Keggin-type metal-oxygen clusters containing [PMo12O40]3-as one of the products. For the metal-oxygen clusters containing tungsten, the pyrolysis procedure of potassium salt with [P2W18O62]6-anion is similar to that of metal-oxygen clusters with [P2Mo18O62]6-anion, whenas the NH4+, Cu2+salts of [P2W18O62]6-seem to decompose directly into WO3 at 400 ℃, 450 ℃,respectively.These results testify that the thermal solid-state rearrangements of Dawson-type anions correlated with the thermal stability of the corresponding Keggin-type compounds. Furthermore, some proposals about the criterion and the adjudication of thermal decomposition temperature for metal-oxygen clusters with different thermal decomposition behavior are also given.

    Abstract4687)      PDF (612KB)(694)      
    By vacuum evaporation deposition, dye-doped OLEDs were fabricated with the structure of ITO/TPD/ZnQ2: Rhodamine B(RhB)/Al. The luminescent layer was composed of a dye RhB doped into ZnQ2 (bis (8-hydroxyquinolato) zinc) layer which showed much better electroluminescent properties than AlQ3(tri (8-hydroxyquinolato) aluminum). With different RhB concentration, OLED electroluminescence emission got different peak wavelength and visual color. The maximal shift of 34 nm was obtained due to dopant concentration. By investigating photoluminescence as well as electroluminescence behaviors, the energy transfer mode and emission mechanism were discussed in this paper. Both energy transfer and carrier trapping have been suggested to be responsible for dopant excitation and emission.

    CuBe/insulator/NiCoP composite wire was produced by electroless-deposition and annealed using Joule annealing method with a dc current of 2 A for 2 min, in which the influence of current annealing on giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect was investigated. The results showed that the GMI effect in the composite wire can be greatly enhanced by dc Joule annealing. The GMI ratio increases from 42.3% of as-deposited sample to 693.1%, about 15.4 times. The property of magnetization and the enhancement mechanism of GMI effect were analyzed in terms of complex permeability and equivalent circuit. Because the dc Joule annealing can release the internal stress and change the magnetic structure of specimen,Δμ′ and Δμ″of annealed composite wire is much greater than that of as-deposited, resulting in the enhancement of GMI effect.

    In this work, we adopted two sputtering modes to prepare the NiFe/Cu composite wires: (i) the intermittent deposition mode; and (ii) the continuous deposition mode. SEM images confirmed that the intermittent deposition mode leads to interface creation among deposited layers. XRD results showed that the intermittently deposited sample has a better crystallite and a grain growth. GMI effect has been used as a tool to analyze the magnetic properties of the samples. The results showed that the sputtered magnetic layers exhibit good soft magnetic properties, and the composite wires showed large GMI effect. The MI profile for the intermittently deposited composite wire shows two peaks, which can be a result of the different magnetic properties of the inner and the outer magnetic layers. The inherent stresses are partially relaxed through heat treatment. The GMI effect of the composite wire is enhanced, and the magnetic properties of the two magnetic layers become similar.

    Impact of wind stress and Coriolis Force on the freshwater zone near Meimaosha in the Changjiang Estuary(Chinese)

    Abstract3475)      PDF (5055KB)(1117)      
    Considering multiple dynamic factors of the river discharge, tide and tidal current, topography, mixing and continental shelf current, a modified 3-D numerical ECOM model was used to study the impact of wind stress and Coriolis Force on the formation of a freshwater zone in the Meimaosha area in the South Passage of the Changjiang Estuary. There existed freshwater zone in Meimaosha area during dry season, and its formation dynamic mechanism is mainly the Changjiang runoff and tidal current oscillation. The numerical calculation results in this paper indicate that onshore Ekman transport induced by the north wind during dry season result in a wind-driven circulation, which flows toward land in the North Channel and flows toward sea in the South Channel in the bifurcation estuary. This wind-driven current prevents the saltwater intrusion from the out sea, and consequently, facilitates the formation of the freshwater zone in the South Passage. The Coriolis Force turns the water flow to the right in the northern hemisphere, and drives the upstream freshwater move downstream along the Nanhui tidal flat, which facilitates the formation of the freshwater zone in the Meimaosha area.

    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (6): 14-23.  
    Abstract4163)      PDF (4648KB)(1322)      

    Based on the Environmental Fluid Dynamic Code (EFDC), a 3-D water temperature and salinity model for the Changjiang Estuary and its adjacent areas was established. River discharge, tide, wind and solar radiation were considered in this model. Compared with the observed data in July 2005, the simulated results were fairly consistent with the observations. It can be analyzed from the results that the temperature isolines off the Changjiang Estuary in summer are along the south-north direction, with high values nearshore and low values offshore; in the Changjiang Estuary, the temperature is descending from the estuary to the offshore along the direction of Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW). The characteristics of CDW are prominent in summer. The low-salinity surface water can reach out 123° E and has a trend of east expansion off the Changjiang Estuary. The intensities of themocline and halocline are extremely high at the area of CDW, which reach the values of 0.3 ℃/m and 2/m, respectively. The positions of thermocline and halocline are coincident or close-by off the Changjiang Estuary.

    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (6): 24-31.  
    Abstract3723)      PDF (2280KB)(855)      
    The environmental magnetic properties of sediments from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were investigated for the study of environmental information of Yangtze River basin. The results show that magnetic properties of the sediments in both the mainstream and tributaries are affected by ferrimagnetic magnetite, with the magnetic domain being pseudo single domain (PSD) - multi-domain (MD). Compared with the sediments of the mainstream, the contents of imperfect anti-ferromagnetic material are higher and ferrimagnetic mineral particles are finer in those of the tributaries. With material from the tributaries into the mainstream, magnetic properties of sediments in the estuary and lower reaches of the Yangtze River change correspondingly.The contribution of the tributary sources may be the main factor controlling the regional differences of sedimentary magnetic properties in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (6): 32-39.  
    Abstract2872)      PDF (1569KB)(660)      
    Furong Gorge in Changshan National Geopark is a spectacular section with a special alluvial terrace. Based on the sediment characteristics, the landform and the datings on some sediment samples, this paper analyzed the process, the time and the reason of the river piracy which caused such phenomena. The result showed it was the Fangcun River that pirated the Furong River which originally flowed into Jinyuan River. This geomorphologic event may be the result of the movement of the faults with NE and NNW stikes in the region, which took place during 52.38~33.6 ka B.P.

    Abstract3027)      PDF (4139KB)(762)      
    The pattern of urban green spaces and its variation characteristic in Urumqi were analyzed under a linear spectral mixture model as well as vegetation landscape index, to provide a more accurate method in quantitative evaluation for ecological environment of oasis cities in arid areas. The results indicate that, (1) In terms of the region as a whole, the relevance of vegetation fraction and vegetation index is closer, but vegetation fraction is better able to reflect urban vegetation landscape with weak vegetation information at pixel scale. (2) In the past 13 years, the vegetation abundance has declined obviously overall in the study area and the serious problems of urban ecological development in Urumqi are remarkable, just like green coverage falling sharply in outskirts, greenbelt fragmentation intensifying in built-up area, spatial distribution of greenbelt being incompatible and others. (3) Viewed from vegetation types in built-up area, the vegetation with medium and high abundance has shrunk largest in area and the area of low abundance vegetation hasn’t changed much, but the fragmentation of low abundance vegetation is most serious. Moreover, the structure of urban greenbelt based on the principle of low abundance vegetation trends single obviously, which will result in instability in urban green ecosystems.

    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (6): 51-55,1.  
    Abstract3169)      PDF (1094KB)(637)      
    Adsorption and persistence capacity of humic acid and pyrene on two kind of paddy soils had no obvious difference. The order of adsorption and persistence capacity of humic acid was that soil > black carbon > cauterant soil. It was similar between the soil and its black carbons on the adsorption capacity of pyrene. The Freundlich equation and partition coefficients (Kf) could reflect it better. Hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties of paddy soil and its black carbons were the main factors on the adsorption proerties of humic acid and pyrene.

    Abstract3912)      PDF (1603KB)(822)      
    This paper presented temporal and spatial patterns of fine root mass along a chronosequence of evergreen broad-leaved forest in Tiantong, Zhejiang Province of China. The level of fine root mass was highest in the forest of early successional (Lithocarpus glaber +Loropetalum chinense Comm., 3.286 t·hm-2), while lowest in that of middle successional stage(1.066 t·hm-2 and 1.531 t·hm-2).In the forest of late successional stage,the level of fine not mass was intermediate (2.715 t·hm-2 and 3.181 t·hm-2). The seasonal variation of fine root biomass(FRB) and fine root necromass(FRN) is significant (P<0.01), peaking in July and lowest in November. But in April, FRN of early successional stage forest reaches its maximum. The spatial distribution of FRB and FRN was mainly concenrated on the upper level labont 80% of the total. Fine root distribution in depth was not clearly affected by stand age.

    Quantitative analysis on the phytogeographic characteristics of Fagaceae dominant species in evergreen broadleaf forest(Chinese)
    GONG Long;YAN En-rong;WANG Xi-hua
    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (6): 63-74.  
    Abstract3371)      PDF (3729KB)(604)      

    Based on the distribution data of 22 dominant species of typical evergreen broadleaf forest of Castanopsis, Cyclobalanopsis and Lithocarpus (Fagaceae) and 11 climatic factors, the range types of these species and their relationship with environmental factors were analyzed by Correspond Analysis (CA) and Canonical Correspond Analysis (CCA). According to the result of CA, all could be roughly classified into two range types: east type and west type. The east type could be divided into two subtypes: south and north one. In accordance with the classification of species, the study region was also divided into three range regions: west region, northern east region and southern east region. According to the result of CCA, the major environmental factors of various spatial gradients were different. In east-west direction, the seasonality in temperature, mean temperature of the coldest month, sunshine duration, total actual solar radiation and aridity index had more effects on species distribution; while in south-north direction, the mean temperature of the coldest month and total potential solar radiation were the main limitations of the range of plants and played an important role on the northern boundary of species’ range region. Compared with other scheme of vegetation zonation of subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest zone, the boundary between eastern and western region of this paper was similar while the boundary between southern and northern region was north-leaned slightly.

    Abstract3860)      PDF (1579KB)(1254)      
    Larval African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) were exposed to a low dose of tributyltin (25 ng&#8226;L-1TBTCl)for 2 months for thyroid histology observation. For one month after exposure, TBT could induce the depletion of colloid and vacuolation. And for two months after exposure, the incidence of follicle malformation also significantly increased, the relative transverse thyroid gland area and follicle area decreased sharply, and the number of follicle did not show any significant changes. Neither hypertrophy nor hyperplasia was observed between exposure groups and control ones. Therefore, the shrink of thyroid gland was arisen from the reduction of follicle area but not follicle number, and the depletion of colloid and follicle malformation was nothing with hypertrophy or hyperplasia. This study indicates that the low concentration of TBT can heavily damage thyroid histology of X. laevis, and TBT can be regarded as one of thyroid disrupting chemicals (TDCs).

    Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Sc    2008, 2008 (6): 88-95.  
    Abstract3243)      PDF (1241KB)(530)      
    In this paper, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of the seeds of 80 herbaceous species, including subspecies and varieties of 8 families, were obtained using the method of FTIR with an OMNI collector. The peak values of FTIR between 3 100 cm-1 and 900 cm-1 were recorded and analyzed by the method of cluster analysis. The results were as follows: (1) Seeds of 80 species or subspecies could be classified into two groups. Group I included the seeds of Gramineae, Cyperaceae, Polygonaceae and Amaranthaceae, and Group II included the seeds of Compositae, Euphorbiaceae, Brassicaceae and Umbelliferae.(2) Only FTIRs of the seeds of Brassicaceae were clustered together in the dendrogram, while those of the other families all appeared farraginous.(3) Among FTIRs of the 11 groups of the congeneric species, 8 groups were clustered with other genus species, and 6 out of 7 groups of conspecific seeds appeared farraginous in the dendrogram. Therefore, the values of the application of FTIR to study the plant taxonomical relationships and to identify plant species are limited. It is suggested that the spectra of other taxa with distant taxonomical relationship should be included to evaluate the reliability of the method. Also, experimental replications should be highlighted, the significant differences between different materials should be confirmed by statistical tests in the application of FTIR to discriminate species or samples.

    Abstract3000)      PDF (1313KB)(759)      
    The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of magnesium on learning and memory ability in aged mice. Forty aged mice (14 months old) were divided into two groups randomly, magnesium-treated group and control group. In magnesium-treated group, mice were fed with the MgCl2 solution (concentration of solution: 4 mmol/L, dose: 10 mg/kg) for 60 days and then subjected to the novel object recognition test and passive avoidance task. No significant difference was found in locomotor activity and exploration between two groups. However, in the novel object recognition test, magnesium-treated mice showed significantly higher exploratory preference to the novel object than controls. In addition, compared to the controls, magnesium-treated mice exhibited longer escape latency in the passive avoidance test, suggesting that magnesium-treated mice have better fear memory. These results indicate that magnesium can improve the ability of learning and memory in aged mice.

    Abstract3107)      PDF (2110KB)(507)      
    This paper studied the de-differentiation and differentiation of various explants such as bulb, leaf and infancy inflorescence of narcissus (Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis). The results showed that infrastructure and infancy inflorescence of narcissus were the best explants. When the infrastructure of adventitious buds was used as explants, the quantity of buds increased three times in forty days. Additionally, it was found that KH2PO4 of certain concentration and dark conditions were favorable to enlargement adventitious buds. The anatomic structure of shoot apical meristem of bulb from field was different from that of tissue culture bulb, which might be the reason why tissue culture bulbs were very hard to enlarge.

    Abstract3117)      PDF (966KB)(701)      
    Prestalk and prespore cells of Dictyostelium discoideum were separated and obtained by centrifugation of Percoll density gradients, and the expressions of gp150 and Caspase-3 in these two types of cells were analyzed by western blot. The results showed that gp150 could only be detected in prestalk cells, and the quantity of this protein increased with the development of cells. This suggested the quantity of gp150 expression had a close relationship with both of developing time and the differentiation of prestalk cells. It also showed that apoptosis proteins with the molecule weight of 31.5 kD and 37.5 kD were detected in prestalk cells and their quantities also increased with developing time. Besides, proteins of 38.2 kD could be detected in both of two types of cells. These results indicate that proteins like Caspase-3 are expressed in the progress of prestalk cell differentiation, and they are deeply correlative to the progress of apoptosis There could be a relationship between the expression of gp150 and Caspase activation.

    Abstract3020)      PDF (2217KB)(879)      
    This paper investigated the preventive effects of flavone from hawthorn biloba (FHB) in insulin resistant rats with hyperlipemia, oxidation and fatty liver, and explored the possible mechanisms on enhancing insulin sensitivity and protecting fatty liver. High-fat-sugar diet was fed in rats to produce insulin resistance model. Forty male SD rats were classified into 4 groups randomly: the normal group, the control group, the FHB group and the rosiglitazone group. Then the FHB and the rosiglitazone group were administered for 12 weeks, and blood of the rats was sampled to determin the levels of FFA, TC, TG, HDL-C and T-AOC, and the activities of AST and ALT. As a result, FHB could decrease the levels of FFA and TG, and increase the level of HDL-C, while reduce the activities of ALT, AST and liver index, and reduce the damaged degree of the liver tissue steatosis significantly. FHB also could enhance the activities of SOD and reduce the amount of MDA significantly. Meanwhile, FHB could conspicuously improve the insulin resistance and sensitivity. This work highlights the fact that FHB can regulate actions on hyperlipemia, blood glucose, insulin and oxidation, and improve liver functions of insulin resistant rats induced by high-fat-sugar diet. In addition, FHB can enhance insulin sensitivity, antagonize IR and prevent fatty liver in rats.
