    We analyzed the homology of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the nerve regenerationconditioned fluid (NRCF) obtained from New Zealand white rabbits and SD rats. A nerve regeneration chamber bridged distal and proximal ends of the severed rabbit sciatic nerve, and the NRCF was extracted from such chamber. The supernatants and precipitates of nerve tissue of rabbits and rats were extracted from the sciatic nerves by grinding and centrifugation. An antigen-antibody reaction was detected by the ELISA technique using rabbit anti-mouse NGF as primary antibody and goat anti-rabbit IgG as secondary antibody. Antigen-antibody reactions were detected in all the above-mentioned samples obtained from rabbits and rats. The intensity rank of an antigen-antibody response for different samples was the following: rabbit NRCF > rabbit nerve tissue precipitation fluid > rabbit nerve tissue fluid supernatant > > rat nerve tissue fluid supernatant. Thus, there is high homology of the molecular structure of NGF in the NRCFs obtained from rabbits and rats (i.e., animals belonging to different taxonomic groups of mammals).Ми аналізували молекулярну гомологію росту нервів (NGF) у кондиційованій процесом нервової регенерації рідині (NRCF), котру отримували від новозеландських білих кролів та щурів лінії SD. Нейрорегенеративна камера з’єднувала дистальний та проксимальний кінці перерізаного сідничного нерва у кролів, і NRCF відбирали з такої камери. За допомогою гомогенізації та центрифугування з тканини сідничних нервів кролів та щурів готували супернатанти та преципітати. Реакцію антиген–антитіло виявляли за допомогою методики ELISA, використовуючи первинні антитіла щодо мишачого NGF та вторинні козячі антитіла щодо кролячого імуноглобуліну. Реакції антиген–антитіло виявлялися в усіх вищезгаданих зразках, отриманих від кролів та щурів. Послідовність інтенсивностей відповідей антиген-антитіло у різних зразках була такою: кроляча NRCF > преципітат із нервової тканини кроля > супернатант із нервової тканини кроля > супернатант із нервової тканини щура. Отже, молекулярна структура зразків NGF, що знаходяться в NRCF, отриманій від кролів та щурів (тобто тварин, котрі належать до різних таксономічних груп ссавців), демонструє високий рівень гомології

    We report on a search for the decays J/Psi --> Ds- e+ nu_e + c.c., J/Psi --> D- e+ nu_e + c.c., and J/Psi --> D0bar e+ e- + c.c. in a sample of 5.8 * 10^7 J/Psi events collected with the BESII detector at the BEPC. No excess of signal above background is observed, and 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions are set: B(J/Psi --> Ds- e+ nu_e + c.c.)<4.8*10^-5, B(J/Psi --> D- e+ nu_e + c.c.) D0bar e+ e- + c.c.)<1.1*10^-5Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

    BESII Detector Simulation

    Full text link
    A Monte Carlo program based on Geant3 has been developed for BESII detector simulation. The organization of the program is outlined, and the digitization procedure for simulating the response of various sub-detectors is described. Comparisons with data show that the performance of the program is generally satisfactory.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, uses elsart.cls, to be submitted to NIM

    Measurements of the observed cross sections for exclusive light hadron production in e^+e^- annihilation at \sqrt{s}= 3.773 and 3.650 GeV

    Full text link
    By analyzing the data sets of 17.3 pb1^{-1} taken at s=3.773\sqrt{s}=3.773 GeV and 6.5 pb1^{-1} taken at s=3.650\sqrt{s}=3.650 GeV with the BESII detector at the BEPC collider, we have measured the observed cross sections for 12 exclusive light hadron final states produced in e+ee^+e^- annihilation at the two energy points. We have also set the upper limits on the observed cross sections and the branching fractions for ψ(3770)\psi(3770) decay to these final states at 90% C.L.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figur

    Measurement of branching fractions for the inclusive Cabibbo-favored ~K*0(892) and Cabibbo-suppressed K*0(892) decays of neutral and charged D mesons

    Full text link
    The branching fractions for the inclusive Cabibbo-favored ~K*0 and Cabibbo-suppressed K*0 decays of D mesons are measured based on a data sample of 33 pb-1 collected at and around the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider. The branching fractions for the decays D+(0) -> ~K*0(892)X and D0 -> K*0(892)X are determined to be BF(D0 -> \~K*0X) = (8.7 +/- 4.0 +/- 1.2)%, BF(D+ -> ~K*0X) = (23.2 +/- 4.5 +/- 3.0)% and BF(D0 -> K*0X) = (2.8 +/- 1.2 +/- 0.4)%. An upper limit on the branching fraction at 90% C.L. for the decay D+ -> K*0(892)X is set to be BF(D+ -> K*0X) < 6.6%

    New data are presented on J/ψωK+KJ/\psi \to \omega K^+K^- from a sample of 58M J/ψJ/\psi events in the upgraded BES II detector at the BEPC. There is a conspicuous signal for f0(1710)K+Kf_0(1710) \to K^+K^- and a peak at higher mass which may be fitted with f2(2150)KKˉf_2(2150) \to K\bar K. From a combined analysis with ωπ+π\omega \pi ^+ \pi ^- data, the branching ratio BR(f0(1710)ππ)/BR(f0(1710)KKˉ)BR(f_0(1710)\to\pi\pi)/BR(f_0(1710) \to K\bar K) is <0.11< 0.11 at the 95% confidence level.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures.
