Portal hypertension in a dog due to circumscribed fibrosis of the wall of the extrahepatic portal vein

A two-and-a-half-year-old German shepherd dog with ascites and a high concentration of blood ammonia was investigated. Sonographically, its liver was normal but the portal vein was dilated and the flow of blood within it was slow. A liver biopsy showed that the liver was normal, and did not reveal any possible cause of portal hypertension or ascites. Postmortem, the cranial part of the portal vein was dilated with a cross-striped internal surface, but the caudal part looked normal; there was a stenotic ring between the normal and dilated parts. Histology of the dilated segment revealed marked hypertrophy of both the internal circular and the external longitudinal smooth muscle layers. At the site of the stenosis, the longitudinal muscular layer was replaced by connective tissue. Circumscribed fibrosis in the wall of the portal vein was responsible for the stenosis and the subsequent prehepatic portal hypertension. The cross-striped pattern in the dilated part of the vein was the result of hypertrophy of the inner circular smooth muscle layer.     

Association between endometritis and urocystitis in culled sows

Slaughterhouse sampling and examination of urogenital tracts of 499 sows and gilts culled for reproductive reasons from 21 Hungarian herds were performed over a 6-year period. The aim was to estimate the prevalence of different urogenital tract lesions, and to provide sensitivity and specificity estimates for macroscopic and bacteriological examinations in the diagnosis of urocystitis and endometritis. Furthermore, the association between endometritis and urocystitis was assessed. The prevalence of main lesions of the urogenital tract was similar to that reported in other studies. The 'sensitivity' of macroscopic and bacteriological methods was determined statistically by taking histopathology as the 'Gold Standard'. As a result, the 'sensitivity' of macroscopic methods for the diagnosis of endometritis and urocystitis was < or = 18.1% and 47.9%, respectively, while the 'sensitivity' of bacteriology for the diagnosis of the same conditions was < or = 31.8% and 63.0%, respectively. The presumed positive association between urocystitis and endometritis was confirmed; it was not confounded by parity. Animals affected by urocystitis had a 3.5 times higher odds to simultaneously have endometritis than animals without urocystitis.     

中药甜菜碱复方对高温环境下三黄鸡某些血液生化指标的影响

试验选取15日龄的三黄鸡288只,随机分为8组。高温对照组仅喂基础日粮,中药Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组分别在基础日粮中添加0.4%、0.8%、1.2%的中药,中药-甜菜碱Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组分别在基础日粮中添加0.4%中药-0.2%甜菜碱、0.8%中药-0.2%甜菜碱、1.2%中药-0.2%甜菜碱,甜菜碱组在基础日粮中添加0.2%甜菜碱,探讨中药甜菜碱复方对高温环境下三黄鸡血液生化指标的影响。结果:①42日龄,在日粮中添加1.2%中药-0.2%甜菜碱试验组0.8%中药-0.2%甜菜碱试验组母鸡血清血糖含量分别比高温对照组高26.5%(P<0.05)、19.4%(P<0.05);在日粮中添加1.2%中药-0.2%甜菜碱试验组公鸡血清血糖含量比高温对照组高24.3%(P<0.05);②42日龄,在日粮中添加1.2%中药-0.2%甜菜碱试验组母鸡血清白蛋白含量比高温对照组高34.5%(P<0.05);在日粮中添加1.2%中药-0.2%甜菜碱试验组公鸡血清白蛋白含量比高温对照组高18.8%(P<0.05)。试验结果表明,中药甜菜碱复方能提高高温环境下三黄鸡血清总蛋白、白蛋白、血糖的含量,以在日粮中添加1.2%中药-0.2%甜菜碱复方效果最明显。

胸膜肺炎放线杆菌ApxⅡ毒素结构基因的原核表达以及重组蛋白的免疫原性分析

猪传染性胸膜肺炎（Porcine infectious pleuropneumonia）是由胸膜肺炎放线杆菌（Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae，APP）引起的猪的一种呼吸道疾病。本实验以APP血清7型的一株现地分离株L25—4株为研究对象，对其分泌的ApxⅡ毒素的结构基因apxⅡA进行了全基因克隆和测序，并利用原核表达载体pGEX-6P-1在E．coli中进行了原核表达。表达产物以包涵体形式存在，包涵体蛋白经过洗涤后作为抗原用于Western—blotting免疫印迹实验，结果表明重组的ApxⅡA蛋白具有良好的免疫原性。

AIM：To study the effect of basil polysaccharide on the rat model bearing NuTu-19 cells.METHODS：The rat model bearing NuTu-19 cells was treated with basil polysaccharide.The changes of the tumor cell biology and histopathology were observed.Total RNA was isolated from the tumor tissue.Hybridization assay was performed using gene expression microarray.The results were analyzed by photo disposal software-GenePix Pro3.0.RESULTS：Compared with control,the amounts of ascites in the rats treated with basil polysaccharide were decreased (P<0.05) and the scores of abdominal carcinoma metastasis were changed significantly (P<0.01).268 differentially expressed genes were found in the tumor specimen from the rats exposed to basil polysaccharide.CONCLUSION：Basil polysaccharide may be a new anti-tumor drug and it has multi-targets.Gene expression microarray has huge advantage and value in the study of the drug target.     

FAD-dependent sulfhydryl oxidase activity of augmenter of liver regeneration protein and its activity motif

AIM:To establish a sensitive and effective method to determine whether augmenter of liver regeneration protein (ALRp) has the activity of sulfhydryl oxidase.METHODS:The cysteine at the position of 65 in CXXC motif contained in ALRp was changed into alanine through site-directed mutation.There were four groups in the experiment:① ALR group;② ALR-FAD group;③Mutated ALR-FAD group;④ Control group.Using GSH as substrate,at different time points,the concentration of thiol in each group was measured.RESULTS:The concentration of thiol groups in the ALR-FAD group was decreased during the time of the experiment.But the thiol in the other groups didn’t show any significant decrease.CONCLUSION:A sensitive and effective method to determine the sulfhydryl oxidase activity of ALRp was established.ALRp is a FAD-dependent sulfhydryl oxidase,and the conserved CXXC motif is indispensable to ALRp.     

杏(Prunus armeniaca)自交不亲和强度及其授粉受精相关特性

为了解杏自交不亲和性强度与授粉受精相关特性的关系,以自交亲和(Self-compatibility:SC)品种凯特(Prunus armeniaca L．cv．Katy)和自交不亲和(Self-incompatibility:SI)品种新世纪(P.armeniaca L.cv．Xinshiji)及凯特×新世纪杂种群体为试材,荧光显微镜观察自交亲和与自交不亲和杏花粉管生长动态。结果表明,授粉后初期,自交亲和性与自交不亲和性的杏花粉都能正常萌发、生长,但是在花粉管生长延伸到花柱1／2以后,自交亲和性的花粉管能顺利进入子房,而自交不亲和性的花粉管多数顶端膨大呈球形,停止向下生长,只有极个别能正常生长到达子房;杂种后代的可溶性蛋白含量和RNA酶比活力,与亲本相比无明显的趋中变异表现,而且在自交亲和与自交不亲和杏之间无显著性差异。
