共轭亚油酸对大黄鱼免疫功能的影响

1 500尾大黄鱼(Pseudosciaena crocea)随机分为5个处理,分别饲喂冰鲜鱼(D1组)、添加5%鱼油日粮(D2组)、共轭亚油酸(CLA)水平为1%(D3组)、2%(D4组)、4%(D5组)日粮.饲喂10周后,通过测定脾脏重、脾体指数、溶菌酶、补体C3、C4、免疫球蛋白IgM浓度等免疫指标,研究不同水平CLA日粮对大黄鱼免疫功能的影响.结果表明,在大黄鱼日粮中添加CLA可以影响其免疫器官-脾脏,添加CLA组使得大黄鱼脾体指数高于未添加CLA的对照组.虽然日粮中添加CLA对于补体C3、C4没有显著影响,但是对于溶菌酶和免疫球蛋白IgM有明显的影响.在大黄鱼日粮中添加CLA可以在一定程度上改善大黄鱼的免疫性能,对于其抗细菌、抗病毒能力有一定提高.

Expression of the tobacco β-1,3-glucanase gene, PR-2d, following induction of SAR with Peronospora tabacina

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is induced following inoculation of Peronospora tabacina sporangia into the stems of Nicotiana tabacum plants highly susceptible to the pathogen. Previous results have shown that accumulation of acidic β-1,3-glucanases (PR-2's) following induction of SAR by P. tabacina may contribute to resistance to P. tabacina. We showed that up-regulation of the PR-2 gene, PR-2d, following stem inoculation with P. tabacina, is associated with SAR. Studies using plants transformed with GUS constructs containing the full length promoter from PR-2d or promoter deletions, provided evidence that a previously characterized regulatory element that is involved in response to salicylic acid (SA), may be involved in regulation of PR-2d following induction of SAR with P. tabacina. This work provides evidence that regulation of PR-2 genes during P. tabacina-induced SAR may be similar to regulation of these genes during infection of N-gene tobacco by TMV or following exogenous application of SA, and provides further support for the role of SA in regulation of genes during P. tabacina-induced SAR.

对杨凌及其周边地区猪群中猪瘟免疫情况进行了调查,并采取54份血样,利用间接ELISA检测猪瘟抗体水平.调查发现,绝大部分养殖户对猪瘟都有较为严格的防疫措施,但也有部分养殖户不够重视,没有进行疫苗免疫接种.血清检测结果表明,免疫猪的猪瘟抗体阳性率为40%;未免疫猪阳性率为30%;屠宰用猪阳性率为47.06%;所有检样总阳性率为37.03%.说明杨凌及其周边地区猪群中猪瘟抗体水平偏低,应及时进行免疫接种及加强抗体监测.     

Influence of environmental temperature on the physiological, endocrine, and immune responses in livestock exposed to a provocative immune challenge

Although livestock experience many stressors throughout their life, one of the most commonly experienced, and most difficult to control, is stress caused by fluctuations in environmental temperatures that extend beyond the thermoneutral (TN) zone for an animal. In swine, cold stress has long been recognized as a main cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. A possible explanation for this increased morbidity and mortality may be related to their inability to generate a febrile response. Previously, we reported that the acute phase immune response, including the generation of fever, after exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS; Escherichia coli O111: B4; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) is substantially altered in neonatal pigs maintained in a cold environment (ie, 18°C). Neonatal pigs that were maintained in a cold environment and administered LPS experienced a period of hypothermia coupled with altered endocrine and proinflammatory cytokine responses that could prove detrimental. In cattle, we previously reported differences in the acute phase immune response of two diverse breeds of Bos taurus cattle (Angus and Romosinuano) when maintained under TN conditions and exposed to LPS. More recently we have reported that differences in the stress and immune responses of Angus and Romosinuano heifers varies, depending on whether the cattle were housed at either TN or heat stress air temperatures. Our data clearly show that even intermittent periods of heat stress similar to that experienced in production environments can have significant effects on the stress and innate immune responses of cattle. Understanding the effect of thermal stress on livestock is critical to developing and implementing alternative management practices to improve their overall health and well-being.     

Regulation of‘Tiao Gan Fang Yao’on neuroendocrine-immuno-function of bandage-stressed rats

AIM: To investigate the regulation of ‘Tiao Gan Fang Yao’(TGFY) on neuroendocrine-immuno-function of bandage-stressed rat . METHODS:The stressed rat model was made by bandage. RIA was adopted to measure the function of hypothalamus-pitutary-adrenal gland axis (HPAA) of stressed rat. Meanwhile, the immunity of stressed rat and the regulation of TGFY were observed.RESULTS:Bandage stress increased the contents of serum corticosterone(CORT), and ACTH, and hypothalamus corticotropin releasing hormone (P＜0.01 or 0.05), which suggested that the excitability of HPAA was enhanced. In addition, bandage stress reduced spleen lymphocyte proliferation (P＜0.01) and decreased H₂O₂ releasing from the macrophages significantly (P＜0.01). While TGFY could decrease HPAA excitability of bandage-stressed rat and strengthen its immunity. CONCLUSION:TGFY could regulate disorder of neuroendocrine-immuno-function of bandage-stressed rat.
