Studies on Nuclear Transplantation in Mammalian Embryos

A series of experiments were conducted to study the major procedures in nuclear transplanation such as oocyte enucleation and activation,electrofusion and developent of the nuclear transplant embryos in the mouse,rabbits and sheep.The important results are as follows:1.In the mouse,only 35% of the oocytes collected 15-16h after hCG had a notable first polar body(FPb) and those without FPb were enucleated by removing cytoplasm from the PVS-wider side and the enucleation rate was similar to that in the oocytes with FPb,and the enucleation rate of removing 1/3 cytoplasm was remarkably higher than that of removing 1/4 cytoplasm.2.Among the three fusion media tested;mannitol and sucrose solutions produced better results than M2 in electrofusion of mouse 2-cell embryos.Under favorable pulse conditions,the osmotic pressure of fusion medium had no motable effect on electrofusion,but as the conditions became so unfavorable that some embryos began to lyse,the fusion rates in hypertonic mannitol solution were significantly higher than those in isotonic or hypotonic solutions.A wide range of pulse strengths (0.31-2.04kv/cm) and durations(10-1280us) were used and 100% of fusion were obtained in many cases.Optimal pulse durations were plotted for field strengths to obtain high fusion rates(96%-100%)in mouse2-cell embryos.3.With one pulse of 0.45kv/cm,satisfactory results of mouse oocyte activation were obatined only when the duration increased to 160us or longer,The activation rate increased as the oocytes got older.Some of the oocytes ar.rested at metaphaseⅢ after electrical stimulation and their proportion to the number of oocytes not activated increased with egg age.4.10% and 31% of the nuclear transplant embryos developed to morula or blastocyst stage in sheep and rabbits,respectively,with Chinese-made hormones and chemicals.     

Performance of Fatty Liver Development in Response to Brown Rice and Corn-Based Diets in Overfed Landes Geese （Anser anser）

The effect of brown rice and corn-based diets on fatty liver weight, carcass traits, lipids accumulation and liver composition of Landes geese (Anser anser) after feeding the same amount of each diet was investigated. After 2 weeks overfeeding,besides body weight and body weight gain increased significantly, the fatty liver weights were increased dramatically from 94.67 to 554.67 and 754.00 g in corn treatment and rice treatment, respectively, and the accumulation lipids in adipose tissues reached up to or close to 2 folds of initial weight in both treatments. Liver weight was greater in brown rice group than in corn group (P＜0.05). Compared to before overfeeding, triacylglycerols (TG) in geese fatty liver increased dramatically and predominated (from 9.08% to close to or more than 90% of hepatic lipids), whereas phospholipids (PL) and cholesteryl esters (CE) decreased sharply in both treatments (P＜O.05). However, the percentages of lipids, TG and PL in fatty liver were higher in brown rice treatment than in corn treatment, and that of CE was lower (P＜O.05). It indicates that overfeeding chiefly results in lipids accumulation in goose fatty liver and adipose tissues. Brown rice-based diet induces greater fatty liver, and brown rice is one of high quality overfeeding ingredients instead of corn.     

Effects of Sub-chronic Aluminum Exposure on Renal Pathologic Structure in Rats

A total of 40 Wistar rats, weighing 130-140 g, were allocated randomly into four groups. They were orally administrated with 0 (control group, GC), 64.18 (low-dose group, GL), 128.36 (middle-dose group, GM), and 256.72 (high-dose group, GH) mg aluminum chloride (AlCl3) per kilogram body weight in drinking water for 120 days. Kidney coefficient and aluminum (Al) concentrations in blood and kidney were determined, and renal autopsy and histological changes were observed. The results showed that kidney coefficient in all Al-treated groups were obviously lower than that in GC (P<0.01) and there was a dose-effect relationship. The kidneys were solid, lusterless and pale brown with white necrosis point on surface. Under electron microscope, renal cortex became thin, the renal tubule was narrowed and the epithelium dissolved; the renal glomerulus became atrophied and the glomerular became vasodilator. The Al concentrations in blood and kidney were higher in all Al-treated rats than those in GC (P<0.01), and there was a dose-effect relationship. The results indicated that sub-chronic Al exposure could lead to Al accumulation in kidney, restrain the development of kidney and cause the pathologic damage in rats.     

Effect of Functional Compound Recipe Liquid of Eliminating Lead on Eliminating Lead and Calcium in Rats

The experiment was conducted to approve the efficacy of functional compound recipe liquid of eliminating lead and calcium to eliminate lead in rats.Total 120 rats were divided into six groups according to weight: blank group (CK),negative group (ND),positive group (PD) and high group (HD,6.67 Mg·kg -1·BW·d -1 ),middle group (MD,3.33 Mg·kg -1·BW·d -1 ) and low group (LD,1.67 Mg·kg -1·BW·d -1 three groups).Except CK,other groups were drunk 0.24% Pb(AC) 2 ,in which rats were filled with functional compound recipe liquid to eliminate lead and DSMA was added to positive group (PD).On the 20th day,the blood was collected from the tail.on the 40th day,the whole blood was collected from eyeball.After executed,liver and blood were collected to determine the content of lead and calcium.Results showed that lead contents in blood and liver of three dosage groups obviously decreased compared with ND and there was significant difference between any two groups of three dosage groups (P0.01).Meanwhile,the calcium concentration increased in three dosage groups.It is concluded that the functional compound recipe liquid of eliminating lead has the evident function of eliminating lead and can promote calcium absorption.     

Influence of Gossypol on Ultrastructure and mRNA Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in Mice Testis

The objective was to evaluate the toxicity effect of gossypol on ultrastructure of mouse testis and the expression of Bax mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA of sperm cells in mice.Forty-eight male mice were randomly divided into four groups:control group,L-group(30 mg·kg~(-1)·d),M-group(60 mg·kg~(-1)·d)and H-group(120 mg·kg~(-1)·d)and were orally administrated with gossypol diluted by sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(SCC)or SCC(control group)for 20 days.On the 21st day,all the mice were killed and ultrastructure changes of testis were observed by TEM.mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in testis was measured by semiquantitative RT-PCR.The results showed that the testicular ultrastructure in three treated groups was gradually damaged,according to the dosage of gossypol and cellular structure disordered and organelle degenerated,manifesting vacuolation of mitochondria,expansion of endoplasmic reticulum.mRNA expression of Bcl-2 in testis significantly increased(p0.05)in L-group and then significantly decreased(p0.05,p0.01)in M-group and H-group compared with that in the control group;mRNA expression of Bcl-2 in M-group and H-group significantly decreased(p0.05,p0.01)than that in L-group and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in H-group showed a significant decrease(p0.05)compared with that in M-group.On the other hand,mRNA expression of Bax significant increased(p0.05,p0.01)in M-group and H-group than that in the control group.The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax significantly reduced(p0.05,p0.01)in the treated group than that in the control group and was found to be an obvious dose-dependent.It demonstrated that the gossypol could induce the changes on ultrastructure of mice testis,down-regulate mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulate mRNA expression of Bax,which indicated that sperm cells were induced apoptosis.     

Expression and Purification of Goose HSP70 and Compound Formation with Virus Polypeptide

The experiment was conducted to study the specific expression of HSP70 caused by heat shock, HSP70 purification and the characteristics of coalescence with antigenic peptide in the formation of the complex. Sixty healthy 6-week-old male Wulong geese were selected and randomly divided into three groups. The control group was slaughtered without heat treatment. Treatment group 1 was shocked with an acute heat treatment at （42 ± 1）℃ for 5 h before they were immediately slaughtered. Treatment group 2 was kept for 12 h after the heat treatment under normal conditions in order to recover and was then slaughtered. Cardiac tissue was taken in order to make paraffin sections for the immunohistochemistry experiment and the liver tissue was used to purify HSP70. The geese heart HSP70 expression differences in the three groups were determined and at the same time the experiments of HSP70 purification and appraisal in the liver tissue were carried on. HSP70 purification and synthesis of HBV PreS1 multi-peptides unified the complex, which was determined by bi-specific antibody enzyme-linked immune sandwich assay. The results indicated that widespread HSP70 positive pellets in the cardiac muscle were found under hot shock conditions. HSP70 expression in the treatment group 1 was centered in the karyotheca and its periphery, but in treatment group 2, it was centered in the surrounding cell membrane. The HSP70 purification could be obtained through two sets of purification plans; both the synthesis peptide and the HSP70 purification form the complex under certain conditions. The double antibody sandwich ELISA technique was applied to detect if the complex had been formed. Positive results showed that the complex was formed. The specific expression of HSP70 under heat shock shifted with time, suggesting that HSP70 possibly had some function in cell protection. High-purity HSP70 protein can be obtained under low-pressure chromatography conditions, and in comparison with each other, it was better in the flow of the molecular     

Dietary Supplementation of Oregano and Sage Dried Leaves on Performances and Meat Quality of Rabbits

The aim of this research was to evaluate the dietary supplementation 1% （w/w） of oregano and sage dried leaves on performances and meat quality of broiler rabbits. A feeding trial, which lasted 48 d, was carried out on 105 male Bianca Italiana rabbits randomly divided in seven groups and fed ad libitum. At the end of the trial ten animals per group were slaughtered and samples of dorsal muscle were taken in order to perform laboratory analysis. Mortality rate did not statistically differ between groups. Growth performances of animals fed diets supplemented with aromatic plants were higher （P〈0.05） than those of animals of control group, whereas carcass parameters were not affected by treatments excepting for the slaughter weight that showed the same trend as growth performances. Meat quality traits, oxidative lipid stability and fatty acid proifle were not inlfuenced by aromatic plant supplementation. In conclusion, oregano and sage in form of dried leaves can be used in rabbit without adverse effects on performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality traits.     

Effects of Sub-chronic Aluminum Exposure on Renal Structure in Rats

To investigate the effects of aluminum(Al) exposure on renal structure of rats, 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four treatment groups and were orally exposed to 0(control group, GC), 64.18(low-dose group, GL), 128.36(middle-dose group, GM), and 256.72(high-dose group, GH) mg · kg-1 BW Al Cl3 in drinking water for 120 days. The body weight of different rats was recorded, the kidney pathologic structure and the ultrastructure were observed. The results showed that the body weight of different rats was markedly lower in Al-treated rats than those in GC(P0.05; P0.01). After masson staining, the collagen was deposited in the renal interstitium and aggravated with Al dose increases in Al-treated rats. Under electron microscope, the infolding of the plasma membrane was slight swollen, the mitochondrion was abundant with different sizes, the mitochondrion cristae was fused, the microvillus was swollen and fused in GH. Our findings indicated that sub-chronic Al exposure slowed the weight of rats and caused the kidney pathologic damage in rats.     

Tissue distribution of deoxynivalenol in piglets following intravenous administration

Contamination of deoxynivalenol(DON) in grains is common worldwide and pigs are particularly susceptible to this mycotoxin. The distribution of DON in porcine tissues following intravenous administration was investigated in this study. Fifteen pigs were randomly divided into three groups. Animals in groups A and B were administrated with DON at the dose of 250 and 750 μg kg–1 body weight, respectively, while group C served as blank control. Plasma, bile and 27 tissues were collected at 30 min post-administration. DON concentrations in all samples were tested using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS). To observe the distribution of DON in tissues, these samples were further subjected to the immunohistochemical analyses. Totally, the bile and 13 tissues were sampled for DON-based detection, including kidney, mesenteric lymph nodes, muscle, stomach, jejunum, colon, plasma, spleen, rectum, cecum, liver, ileum, and duodenum. No significant difference was observed for the concentrations of DON in duodenum, ileum and liver samples between groups A and B; while the DON concentrations in cecum and rectum of group B were significantly higher(P-value 0.05) than those in group A. In addition, the DON concentrations in stomach, jejunum, colon, mesenteric lymph nodes, muscle, kidney, spleen, bile, and plasma of group B were remarkably higher than those of group A(P-value0.01). Levels of DON in other 14 tissues including medulla oblongata, midbrain, diencephalon, pons, tip and tongue body, tongue, soft palate, tonsils, pharyngeal mucosa, oral buccal mucosa, thymus, thyroid, esophagus and adrenal gland were all below the limit of detection. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that 11 tissue samples(medullaoblongata, tonsil, adrenal medulla, thyroid gland, thyroid, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, kidney, spleen, and mesenteric lymph nodes) were positive and DON was mainly distributed around blood vessels in these tissues. Therefore, we believed that concentrations of DON in tissues differ when pigs are in exposure to various dosages and DON causes lesions in many pig tissues.     

Effects of Probiotics on Growth,Pork Quality and Serum Metabolites in Growing-finishing Pigs

A total of 72 growing-finishing pigs（56 days old） were used to investigate the effects of dietary probiotics on growing performance, pork quality and serum metabolites. Using single factorial experiment design, pigs were allotted to three groups（four pens/group and six pigs/pen）. Diet treatments were a corn-soybean meal（control group） and a corn-soybean meal with 1% probiotics（probiotics group） or 80 mg kg-1colistin sulfate（antibiotics group）. Pigs were slaughtered when pigs of the lightest averaged 90 kg（157 days of age）. There was no difference（p＆gt;0.05） in average daily gain or feed/gain, and the average daily feed intake of the antibiotics group was higher than that of the probiotics and the control groups（p＆lt;0.05）. Diet supplemented with probiotics reduced the drip loss and cooking loss of pork（p＆lt;0.05）. Dietary supplementation with probiotics significantly decreased the content of triglycerides, lowdensity lipoprotein and urea nitrogen in serum（p＆lt;0.05）, and increased the content of high-density lipoprotein in serum（p＆lt;0.05）. These results suggested improving effects of dietary probiotics on pork quality and serum metabolism in growing-finishing pigs.     

《河北农业大学学报》创刊年代考

清光绪二十八年(1902)河北农业大学前身—直隶农务学堂诞生,经几易其名,于1958年更名为河北农业大学至今。清光绪三十一年(1905)直隶高等农业学堂时期创办了《北直农话报》,清光绪三十四年(1908)更名为《直隶农务官报》,中华民国七年(1918)改出《农学月刊》,中华民国十七年(1928)易名为《河大农刊》,中华民国二十三年(1934)更名为《河北通俗农刊》,中华民国二十四年(1935)易名为《河北农林学刊》,1948年更名为《河北农学院研究专刊》,1959年更名为《河北农业大学学报》至今。《河北农业大学学报》前身诸刊都与现时的《河北农业大学学报》有着一脉相承的历史渊源,各刊之间联系紧密,连续性、继承性强。因此,《河北农业大学学报》的创刊时间应追溯至1905年创办的《北直农话报》。

厚胶合板弹性模量预测模型

为了预测厚胶合板弹性模量,通过简化层合板理论,该文建立了胶合板弹性模量预测模型,并以单板条、经过涂胶热压处理的单板条和相同工艺条件下的单板层积材的弹性模量,采用4种不同铺层方式的19层桉树胶合板对模型进行了验证。结果表明:3种预测值与实测值的趋势一致,相关系数R2顺纹在0.86以上,横纹在0.88以上,但是精度不同。采用单板条弹性模量预测的胶合板弹性模量比实测值偏低;采用经过涂胶热压处理后的单板条弹性模量预测的胶合板弹性模量比实测值偏高;采用相同工艺条件下的单板层积材弹性模量预测的胶合板弹性模量与实测值偏差较小,顺纹平均误差为4.64%,横纹平均误差10.94%。因此,采用相同工艺条件下的单板层积材的弹性模量来预测胶合板的弹性模量是可行的。
