摘　　要：研究了耦合细胞体系中钙振荡的动力学行为,发现体系的一端受到噪声扰动时,能够产生噪声诱导的钙振荡信号,这种信号在沿着耦合体系有效传递的同时,信号本身也能显著增强,并且在体系的另一端能够得到一个规则的信号.分别讨论了耦合强度、噪声强度和耦合方式对信号传递的影响,发现存在合适的耦合强度和噪声强度更有利于钙信号的传递和增强,与以往不同的是,还分别从信号和噪声背景两方面给出了定性的解释;同时发现单向耦合比双向耦合更有利于信号的传递和增强.Dynamics of calcium oscillation in a coupled cell system is discussed. It shows that when one end of the cell chain is perturbed by noise, the signal induced by noise can propagate along a linearly coupled cell chain with considerable enhancement, a rather ordered internal signal can be obtained on the other end, and the signal itself can also be enhanced. The effects of coupling constant, noise intensity and coupling means on the propagation of the signal are investigated. It is found that there exist an optimal coupling constant and noise intensity in favor of the signal propagation. What's more, a qualitative explanation via the signal and the noise background is given. And the one-way coupling is better for the signal propagation and enhancement than for the two-way coupling. The results may have important applications in living cell systems, where information is transmitted along a cell chain.
