Effects of ibrolipim against atherosclerosis in minipigs

AIM: To explore the application mechanism of NO-1886 (ibrolipim), a synthetic compound, improving dyslipidemia and inhibiting atherosclerosis in Guizhou minipigs fed with high fat/high sucrose diet. METHODS: Fifteen Chinese Guizhou minipigs were randomized into three groups with similar body weight ［(n=5 in normal control group (CD); n=5 in high fat/high sucrose group (HFSD); n=5 in high fat/high sucrose supplemented ibrolipim group （HFSD+ibrolipim)］. Blood samples were withdrawn from the eyehole sinus venosus of the animals at the end of each month after fasting overnight. The animals were sacrificed at the end of 8 months. The concentrations of cholesterol ester in plasma HDL were analyzed by HPLC. The aortic fatty streak-lesions were quantified following lipid staining with Sudan IV. Lipid droplets in liver were observed by Oil red O staining. RESULTS: Compared with CD, fasting plasma TC, TG and FFA levels of HFSD were elevated significantly. The aortic fatty streak-lesions were clearly presented in the animals’ aortas. The intima became rougher and thicker. A lot of lipoid foam cells migrated to regions of intima and smooth muscle cells, which associated with the injuries of internal elastic lamina. Extensive fat deposited in the liver were observed. Supplementing of 1.0% ibrolipim into high fat/high sucrose diet induced the decrease in plasma TG and FFA concentrations and an increase in plasma HDL-C concentration compared with HFSD. A little fat deposited in the liver were observed. CONCLUSION: ibrolipim prevents AS in high fat/high sucrose diet feeding minipigs through decreasing the plasma TG and elevating the plasma HDL-C.     

家蝇（Musca domestica Vicina L.）头部乙酰胆碱酯酶检测农药残留最佳条件研究

系统研究了敏感家蝇Musca domestica Vicina L.羽化后不同天数其头部乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)的比活力、敏感度以及酶源蛋白质含量的变化;缓冲液pH值对家蝇头部AChE比活力的影响。结果表明:家蝇初羽化至羽化后第15 d,其头部AChE的比活力逐渐升高 ,而酶源蛋白质的含量逐渐下降(187.022 2±9.021 3~83.022 2±7.111 1 μg/头)。羽化后2~4 d,其头部AChE的敏感度最高;初羽化和羽化后第15 d,敌敌畏的I50分别是羽化后第3 d的1.4倍和2.1倍。在一定的pH值范围内(6.6~8.0),家蝇头部AChE的比活力随缓冲液pH值的升高而增大。本研究为利用家蝇头部AChE检测有机磷残留量探索了最佳条件。

广东畜牧业产业化经营利益生成和分配机制的问题与对策

提出畜牧业产业化经营的发展是畜牧业产业化经营产业链各成员之间利益生成和分配的合作与博弈过程，产业链是否稳定决定于利益分配是否合理，产业链各成员是否实现了个体利益分配的最优化，从而实现产业链效益的最大化。指出广东畜牧业产业化经营的健康发展离不开产业链利益生成和分配机制的不断优化，离不开市场的导向作用、法律制度的完善和政府的宏观调控作用。     

湘中农区壶天山羊的生产性能及生态养殖技术研究

通过采用测定200只壶天山羊的体尺体重,统计66胎产仔情况、屠宰6只成年羊,将8只成年杂交羊(壶天羊×马头羊)和50只成年壶天羊作对比等办法,从而真实系统地总结了该山羊的各项生产性能.对以"七化四结合"为主要内容的山羊生态养殖关键技术进行了研究,提出了"羊→沼→稻(菜或草)"生产模式和"企业 农户"的经营模式.     

野生花卉蓝刺头的根插繁殖

对蓝刺头进行了根插材料和扦插基质的筛选试验,结果表明:根粗在0.5～0.8cm、长3cm扦插效果好,诱导愈伤率、不定芽数、生根数及扦插成活率均高于其它处理,为最佳根繁材料.不同基质在促进蓝刺头插稳发芽和生根方面差异显著,其中河沙:草炭=1:1扦插最为理想.根插10d后,插穗上端首先形成白色突起状愈伤组织,然后分化出不定芽,20d后,下端分化出不定根,通过细胞学观察,其不定芽及不定根发生部位均为中柱鞘周围的细胞,为内生起源.     

Inhibitory effects of genistein on mouse allergic contact dermatitis

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effects of genistein (Gen) on mouse allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). METHODS: The animal model of ACD was induced by DNFB. The effects of different doses of Gen on mouse ear swelling，body weight, histopathological changes in mouse ear skin, thymus index and spleen index were observed. RESULTS: All groups of Gen inhibited mouse ear swelling induced by DNFB significantly. The infiltration of inflammatory cells and thymus index were also reduced. However, the increase in mouse body weight was not affected. Low dose of Gen increased spleen index, high dose of Gen decreased spleen index. CONCLUSION: Genistein has significant inhibitory effects on mouse ACD induced by DNFB.     

菠萝DNA的提取及AFLP反应体系的建立

为了应用AFLP分子标记对菠萝种资源进行种质鉴定、分类及亲缘关系等方面的研究,最重要的是要获得高质量的DNA,菠萝叶片革质化程度较高,且纤维、多糖、多酚等次生代谢物质含量较多,严重干扰DNA的抽提或影响其后的AFLP双酶切及其扩增反应,本研究以菠萝叶片为材料,利用改良CTAB法得到了39个高质量的菠萝分类群的DNA基因组,并进行了AFLP分析,得到了条带清晰、多态性好的菠萝品种指纹图谱,这为菠萝基因库的建立、优良品种选育以及亲缘关系的系列研究提供理论依据。
