Adherence of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 to swine buccal epithelial cells involves fibronectin

The swine pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 was investigated for its ability to adhere to swine, rat, and human buccal epithelial cells (BEC). The highest number of bacteria adhered was to swine BEC. This binding ability was affected by heating, extreme pH, treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate, ethylenediamine tetraacetate, or periodate, and proteolysis, suggesting that cell-surface glycoproteins participate in adherence and that adherence is based mostly on ionic interactions. Mannose and swine fibronectin may play a direct role in this interaction. Convalescent-phase serum from naturally infected pigs inhibited the adhesion. There was a correlation between bacterial pathogenicity as well as host specificity and the capacity for adherence to swine BEC. Adhesion to swine BEC provides a convenient method to study in vitro the adherence of A. pleuropneumoniae and other pathogens of the pig respiratory tract.

鸡肾型传染性支气管炎病毒陕西地方株的分离与鉴定

对陕北(榆林)、关中(宝鸡市、扶风县)、陕南(洋县)等地鸡场疑似肾型传染性支气管炎病鸡，进行了病毒分离和鉴定。结果分离到4株IBV(定名为YL-04、BJ-04、FF-04、YX-04)，并对分离病毒进行了血凝性、血凝抑制性、致病性、鸡胚矮小化等生物学特性鉴定。结果发现，分离的4株病毒经1％胰酶处理后的各代病毒尿囊收集液均可凝集鸡红细胞；IBV标准阳性血清可特异性的抑制其凝集性；回归试验可复制出与自然发病相同的病例；病毒传代物有明显的致鸡胚矮小化作用。以上研究结果表明，我们分离到的是鸡传染性支气管炎病毒，临床表现为致肾脏病变的组织嗜性，证明以上地区鸡群发病与肾型传染性支气管炎病毒感染有关。     

Effects of three-dimensional spheroid culture on equine mesenchymal stem cell plasticity

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are useful candidates for tissue engineering and cell therapy fields. We optimize culture conditions of equine adipose tissue-derived MSCs (eAD-MSCs) for treatment of horse fractures. To investigate enhancing properties of three-dimensional (3D) culture system in eAD-MSCs, we performed various sized spheroid formation and determined changes in gene expression levels to obtain different sized spheroid for cell therapy. eAD-MSCs were successfully isolated from horse tailhead. Using hanging drop method, spheroid formation was generated for three days. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to analyze gene expression. As results, expression levels of pluripotent markers were increased depending on spheroid size and the production of PGE₂ was increased in spheroid formation compared to that in monolayer. Ki-67 showed a remarkable increase in the spheroid formed with 2.0?×?10⁵ cells/drop as compared to that in the monolayer. Expression levels of angiogenesis-inducing factors such as VEGF, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-18 were significantly increased in spheroid formation compared to those in the monolayer. Expression levels of bone morphogenesis-inducing factors such as Cox-2 and TGF-β1 were also significantly increased in spheroid formation compared to those in the monolayer. Expression levels of osteocyte-specific markers such as RUNX2, osteocalcin, and differentiation potential were also significantly increased in spheroid formation compared to those in the monolayer. Therefore, spheroid formation of eAD-MSCs through the hanging drop method can increases the expression of angiogenesis-inducing and bone morphogenesis-inducing factors under optimal culture conditions.     

Effect of feed intake level and dietary protein content on the body temperature of pigs housed under thermo neutral conditions

Feed intake and diet composition appear to affect the body temperature of pigs. Two trials were conducted to analyse the effect of feed intake level and dietary protein content on the intestinal temperature (IT) of pigs housed under thermo neutral conditions. Ten pigs (64.1 ± 1.3 kg initial body weight) fitted with an ileal cannula were used. A thermometer set to register the IT at 5‐min intervals was implanted into the ileum through the cannula. In both trials, the ambient temperature ranged from 19.1 to 21.6°C and the pigs were fed at 07:00 and 19:00 hr (same amount each time). In trial 1, the pigs were fed daily 1.2 or 1.8 kg of a wheat–soybean meal diet. The IT followed a similar pattern along a 24‐hr period regardless the feed intake level. The IT rapidly increased up to 0.61 and 0.74°C after the morning meal and up to 0.53 and 0.47°C after the evening meal in pigs fed 1.2 and 1.8 kg/d respectively. The postprandial IT was higher in pigs fed 1.8 kg after each meal (p < .05). In trial 2, pigs were fed daily 1.8 kg of a low (11%) or a high (22%) crude protein diet. The IT followed a similar pattern along the 24‐hr period regardless the dietary protein level. The postprandial IT did not differ between pigs fed the low protein or the high protein (p > .10). The IT rapidly increased up to 0.66 and 0.62°C after the morning meal in pigs fed the high‐ and low‐protein diet (p < .05), but there was no change after the evening meal (p > .10). In conclusion, the feed intake level affected the IT of pigs housed under TN conditions, but the dietary protein content had no effect.     

除草剂‘抹绿’对春季交播草坪草的影响

针对湖南地区交播草坪春季平稳转换难的问题,以湖南地区常用的‘兰引3号’结缕草(Zoysia japonica‘Lantai No.3’)交播草坪为研究对象,通过喷施不同浓度的‘抹绿’,拟达到抑制一年生黑麦草潘多拉(Lolium multiflorum‘Panterra’)和多年生黑麦草蒙特利(L.perenne‘Monterey’)生长的目的,为‘兰引3号’结缕草的返青生长创造条件,从而顺利完成草相转换。结果表明,施药后随着时间的推移,交播草坪的归一化植被指数和绿色指数均先降低后升高,黑麦草体内丙二醛含量不断积累,相对电导率增大,黑麦草密度下降,‘兰引3号’结缕草密度增加。两个不同的黑麦草品种的交播草坪春季转换时,‘抹绿’最佳施用浓度为3×10~(-2) mL·m~(-2);在此浓度下,草坪草为‘潘多拉’的交播草坪45d完成转换,草坪草为‘蒙特利’的交播草坪60d完成转换。这表明适宜浓度的‘抹绿’能有效抑制黑麦草生长,促进草相平稳转换。这为草坪过渡气候带地区草坪交播技术的推广应用提供理论支持和技术指导。
