苹果茎沟病毒部分分离物的生物学特性与分子鉴定

通过昆诺藜接种鉴定和ELISA检测,从梨和苹果上分离获得苹果茎沟病毒(Apple stem grooving virus,ASGV)23个分离物.采用TC-RT-PCR对这些分离物进行扩增,均获得特异的扩增片段,PCR产物经5%PAGE电泳,出现大小约500、530和600bp的3种迁移率不同的泳动带型.根据PCR产物电泳迁移率的差异,选取3个来源于梨的分离物P-L4、P-6-1-17和P-3-2-67的PCR产物进行克隆与序列测定.经BLAST搜索,3个分离物的扩增片段与苹果分离物P-209的CP基因3′端核苷酸序列同源性分别为92.2%、90.4%和88.4%.3个分离物间的核苷酸序列也有较大差异,P-L4/P-6-1-17为95.5%、P-L4/P-3-2-67为90.4%、P-6-1-17/P-3-2-67为88.6%.     

香石竹斑驳病毒单克隆抗体的制备及检测应用

 用香石竹斑驳病毒(CarMV)免疫的BALB/c鼠脾细胞与Sp2/0鼠骨髓瘤细胞融合,经筛选克隆,获得5株能稳定传代且分泌抗CarMV单克隆抗体(MAb)的杂交瘤细胞,并分别制备它们的单克隆抗体腹水。5株单克隆抗体腹水间接ELISA效价达10^-6,其中3G1、1B9、2A9和2F8的抗体类型及亚类均为IgG1,而2F₂为IgG3。Western-blot分析表明,5株单克隆抗体均与CarMV 38 kD的外壳蛋白亚基有特异性反应。利用2A9单抗建立的抗原包被的间接ELISA (ACP-ELISA)检测CarMV方法,病叶1:800倍稀释、提纯CarMV病毒浓度为1 ng/mL (绝对检测量为0.1 ng)时仍能检测到病毒。利用ACP-ELISA对田间香石竹样品的检测表明,CarMV在香石竹上发病很普遍。     

Vitamin D status of wild Ricord's iguanas (Cyclura ricordii) and captive and wild rhinoceros iguanas (Cyclura cornuta cornuta) in the Dominican Republic.

Calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D) values are reported for 22 wild Ricord's iguanas (Cyclura ricordii) and seven wild rhinoceros iguanas (Cyclura cornuta cornuta). Calcitriol (1,25-hydroxyvitamin D) values are reported for 12 wild Ricord's iguanas and seven wild rhinoceros iguanas. These animals were captured as part of a larger health assessment study being conducted on Ricord's iguanas in Isla Cabritos National Park, Dominican Republic. A total of 13 captive rhinoceros iguanas held outdoors at Parque Zoológico Nacional were also sampled for comparison. Mean concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were 554 nmol/L (222 ng/ml) with a range of 250-1,118 nmol/L (100-448 ng/ml) for wild Ricord's iguanas, 332 nmol/L (133 ng/ml) with a range of 260-369 nmol/L (104-148 ng/ml) for wild rhinoceros iguanas, and 317 nmol/L (127 ng/ml) with a range of 220-519 nmol/L (88-208 ng/ml) for captive rhinoceros iguanas. On the basis of these results, serum concentrations of at least 325 nmol/L (130 ng/ml) for 25-hydroxyvitamin D should be considered normal for healthy Ricord's and rhinoceros iguanas.     

跨省(区)牲畜调动过程中检疫操作程序的几点建议

近年来，畜牧业集约化及规模化养殖发展迅速。因此牲畜调运呈几倍甚至几十倍增长，特别是跨省(区)牲畜调运活动更为频繁。由于在牲畜调运过程中检疫操作程序不完善或手段滞后很大程度上造成了在我国流行很多年的传染病消灭不了，而新侵入我国的传染病却散布很快。这对我们的动物防检工作提出了挑战。下面就跨省(区)牲畜调运过程中检疫操作程序提几点建议，供大家参考?     

Changes of cellular immunological function after surgical operation in patients with locally advanced lung cancer

AIM: To study the change of cellular immunological function in patients with locally advanced lung cancer before and after operations. METHODS: A lung cancer group of 20 cases with locally advanced lung cancer (group A), a benign disease group of 20 cases with lung benign disease (group B) and a normal group of 20 cases from healthy volunteers (group C) were set up. The levels of the peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets (CD+3, CD+4, CD+8, CD+4/ CD+8 ratio) were detected in the group A before operation and on the 10th day and 17th day after operation by indirect immuno-fluorescence assay and contrasted with the group B and group C. RESULTS: The levels of T lymphocyte subsets in group A were abnormal before operation, CD+3, CD+4/ CD+8 ratio were significantly lower than those in group B and group C (P<0.05), and CD+8 was significantly higher (P<0.05). CD+3 significantly increased (P<0.05) and CD+8 decreased (P<0.05) on 10th day and 17th day after operation. CD+4/ CD+8 ratio significantly increased on 17th day after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the levels of T lymphocyte subsets between the 10th day and 17th day after operation. CONCLUSIONS: The patients with locally advanced lung cancer have a remarkable impairment of immunological function, which mainly show stronger immunosuppression and have some recovery after operation. In the view of immunology, the surgical resection for locally advanced lung cancer shows active significance.     

Cytocompatibiltiy of degradable calcium metaphosphate with human marrow mesenchymal stem cells

AIM: To screen the cytotoxicity of degradable calcium metaphosphate (dCMP) compared with hydroxyapatite (HA). The proliferation and differentiation abilities of human marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were used to exhibit the cytotoxicity. METHODS: The cell morphology of MSC was analysed after direct contact with dCMP at different time points by scanning electron microscopy analysis. The degradation products of dCMP and HA were analysed with inductively coupled plasma torch and ion chromatography. The cytotoxic effect of degradation products of dCMP was evaluated by FACS, quantitative assay of ALP and ARS, respectively. RESULTS: dCMP enhanced the proliferation of MSC, but didn't interfere the osteogenic differentiation process of MSC and its mineralization. HA inhibited the proliferation of MSC and the mineralization of osteogenic differentiated MSC, while it did not interfere the osteogenic differentiation process of MSC. CONCLUSION: dCMP had a better cytocompatibility with MSC than HA, which might allow for its use as skeleton scaffolds.     

Isolation and differentiation of bovine mammary gland progenitor cell populations

OBJECTIVE: To isolate bovine mammary gland cells with stem cell characteristics. SAMPLE POPULATION: Monolayers of bovine mammary gland cells. PROCEDURE: Mammary gland cell populations were separated by use of selected media supplements. Phenotypic characteristics were examined via light and transmission electron microscopy. Cellular expression of casein and connexin 43 was identified immunohistochemically. A scrape-loading and dye transfer assay was used to examine the mammary gland cell populations for homogenous gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC). RESULTS: Subpopulations of mammary gland cells grown in vitro are classified on the basis of their distinct morphologic features and ability to communicate via gap junctions. Ultrastructurally, 2 morphologically distinct cell types were classified as type I and II cells. Type I cells were small light undiffertiated cells and large light undifferentiated cells that were deficient in functional gap junctions (as is characteristic of stem cells). Type II cells included large light differentiated cells and terminally differentiated cells; GJIC was functional in type II cells. Type II cells had cytoplasmic expression of connexin 43, whereas, type I cells did not. All cells expressed casein. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Subpopulations of bovine mammary gland cells with stem cell characteristics were identified. Phenotypic differences are observed among type I bovine mammary gland cells with stem cell characteristics. Gap junctional intercellular communication may be necessary for the differentiation of stem cells. Characterization of bovine mammary gland stem cells and their progeny may provide a new tool with which to study mammary gland health.
