Objective To study a gene determing the sensitivity to sevoflurane in autosomal chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster. Methods Virgin females of wild type Drosophila melanogaster(H) were crossed with ebony(e) males to breeding F 1 hybrids ,to measure the ED 50 of e,H and F 1 for sevoflurane. Then, e virgin females were crossed with F 1 males to breed F 2 hybrids. Sevoflurane ED 50 of F 2 hybrids was measured according to body's colour. The ED 50 was measured when the fruit flies were 7 days old.A hereditary analysis was conducted to determine the localization of gene(s) in chromosome determining sensitivitiy to sevoflurane. Results The ED 50 of H was significantly higher than that of e . The ED 50 of phenotype of F 1 hybrids was similar to one of H of F 1.The number ratio of flies with black abdomen to ebony flies was about 1∶1 in F 2 hybrids which generated from crosses of F 1 hybrid males with e virgin females. The sevoflurane ED 50 of F 2 hybrids was significantly higher than that of F 2 fly of e and was significantly lower than the ED 50 of F 2 fly of H . The dose response curve of F 2 hybrids had a two peak, however, the dose response curve of F 2 fruit fly of e or H had a single peak. Conclusions The gene(s) or major gene(s) determining the sensitivity to sevoflurane is (are) located on the second chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster.

Bupleurum chinense used in the study were cultivated in the experimental fields of Gansu agricultural University for three years. The seeds of B. chinense were collected every 3 days 10 d after the blossom. The result showed that the 1 000-grain fresh weight reached the maximum 43 d after the blossom and then decreased rapidly, at the mature period the fresh weight of seeds were falling to the same level of the dry weight. The dynamic change of the grain dry matter accumulation showed as an S-shape curve, the rapid increase stage was 25-34 d following the flower, and the grain filling was ended 46 d after blossom. Grain filling rate was under the law "fast-slow-fast-slow". And there were two peaks of grain filling rate appeared, after reached the second peak 28 d after the flower the filling rate decreased rapidly and stayed steadily 43 d after flowering. The dehydration rate was also measured at its maximum 43 d following flower. The indexes of seeds all reached the top 52 days following the blossom, when the germination rate reached the peak (34.33%) and water content of seeds was near 10%. The rate of germination and the 1 000-graid weight of seed showed significant positive correlation, while the water content of seeds was found significant negatively correlation with germination percentage. So the best time for harvest should be 52 d after flowering (9 month), the seeds collected at that time showed both high quality and germination rate.

AIM: To construct subtractive libraries in association with heat adaptation differential expressed genes. METHODS: The experiment was carried out with heat adapted rat model and normal temperature control. mRNA was extracted from liver tissue and reverse-transcripted into cDNA. After cut and ligation, suppression subtractive hybridization was executed with each group of cDNA as tester and the other one as driver to construct subtractive libraries. Specificity of the libraries was evaluated by approach of comparing G3PDH gene PCR products with template from the library and unsubtractive sample. Reliability of the libraries was evaluated by primarily isolation and screening. RESULTS: PCR results confirmed that G3PDH concentration was greatly reduced compared with control group, which suggested that specificity of the libraries was high. 300 target segments were isolated from the library, 27 of them were verified to be differential expressed genes, which suggested that the libraries were reliable and efficient. CONCLUSION: This study founded the basis of further investigation on heat adaptation mechanism by approach of constructing subtractive libraries in association with heat adaptation differential expressed genes.

Objective:To explore the central neurobiological mechanisms of pleasure effect on rats with neuralgia treated by tuina manipulations of An-pressing and Rou-kneading Huantiao (GB 30).Methods:A total of 64 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used in this study.Eighteen rats were randomly selected as a normal group,and the other 46 rats were used to duplicate the chronic constriction injury (CCI) model.Ten rats failed in modeling and 36 rats succeeded.These 36 rats were then randomly divided into a model group and a tuina group,with 18 rats in each group.The rats in the normal group and the model group did not receive any interventions,while those in the tuina group received An-pressing and Rou-kneading Huantiao (GB 30),1 min for each time,once a day,3 weeks in total.Heating tests were evaluated to observe the change of pain-sensitivity score before intervention,1 week after intervention,2 weeks after intervention,and 3 weeks after intervention.After 1 week of intervention,2 weeks of intervention,and 3 weeks of intervention,6 rats were randomly selected from each group respectively for brain extraction.The change of Nissl's body and β-endorphin in the accumbens nucleus as well as amygdaloid nucleus of pleasure circuits,and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) in the arcuate nucleus were analyzed by methods of histochemistry and molecular biology.Results:After modeling,the pain-sensitivity scores of the tuina group and the model group were statistically different from the score of the normal group (both P＜0.05).After An-pressing and Rou-kneading Huantiao (GB 30) for one week,the pain-sensitivity score of the tuina group had statistical difference compared with that of the model group (P＜0.05).At each different time point:the amounts of Nissl's body in accumbens nucleus and amygdaloid nucleus of the tuina group were significantly more than those of the model group (all P＜0.01).Besides,the numbers of β-endorphin immunoreactive cells in the accumbens nucleus and amygdaloid nucleus of the rats in the tuina group were significantly higher than those in the model group (all P＜0.01),and so was the expression of POMC in arcuate nucleus (all P＜0.01).Conclusion:An-pressing and Rou-kneading Huantiao (GB 30),where the sciatic nerve is ligated,can reduce pain-sensitivity score and increase pain tolerance value of rats with chronic neuralgia.It can increase the activity of neurons in accumbens nucleus and amygdaloid nucleus of pleasure circuits,which indicates that the analgesia effect of tuina therapy may correlate with pleasure effect,and also reveals a part of neurobiological mechanisms of neuralgia.
