问题 问答题

试述基因诊断与基因治疗的应用前景。

答案

参考答案:基因诊断的基础是探针技术。探针可借助基因工程技术而扩增、保存和改建。基因诊断已广泛应用于一些危害人类健康的重大疾病发病机制的阐明,如肿瘤、心血管病、艾滋病等,不局限于遗传病的研究。 基因治疗的指导思想是从基因分子水平上调控细胞中缺陷基因的表达,或以正常基因来纠正或替换缺陷基因。应用范围也不局限于遗传病,还涉及免疫缺陷、癌基因或抗癌基因的异常表达所致恶性生长,以及其他由于基因表达失控、失常所致疾病。己报告治疗成功的病例还是极少数,如有几例腺苷脱氨酶缺乏症与血友病。

Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation.

Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollutions. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or fewer to work. Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will set out the harmful air when it warms up before it can work well.

James, a members of Congress (国会), is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities.

Last year, Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.
