Exogenous carbon monoxide protects against the lung injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion of hind limbs in rats

AIM: To study the mechanism of protective effect of exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) in the lung injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion (IR) of hind limbs in rats. METHODS: Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, control+CO, IR and IR+CO. A rat model of ischemia in hind limbs and the reperfusion lung injury was made. The rats in IR+CO and control+CO groups were exposed to air containing 2.5×10-8 CO for 1 h before reperfusion or the corresponding control time point, while the other two groups were exposed to the routine air. The lung tissue structure, polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) count, wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D), malondialdehyde (MDA) content and the animal survival rate were observed. The carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in artery blood were detected with CO-oximeter and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in the lung was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared to control, the animal mortality, lung PMNs number, W/D, MDA content and ICAM-1 expression were all significantly increased in IR group. Compared with the IR group, the blood COHb level was significantly increased and the animal mortality, lung PMNs number, W/D, MDA content and ICAM-1 expression were all significantly decreased in IR+CO group. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that exogenous CO attenuate limb IR-induced lung injury by down-regulatiny ICAM-1 expression and suppressing PMN sequestration in the lung following limb IR in rats.     

苜蓿黄萎病菌在我国的适生性分析研究

本文以适生性评判指标分析为基础,采用生物学建模与GIS分析相结合的方法,依据我国677个气象站点的逐月气温数据以及全国土壤pH等值线图,对苜蓿黄萎病菌在我国的适生性作了分析研究。结果表明,苜蓿黄萎病菌在我国的适生性强,适生范围较广,每年4~9月份,该病菌在我国西北、东北以及华北地区的适生程度处于较高水平。鉴于此,我国应加强苜蓿黄萎病菌的植物检疫措施力度,严防该病的传入或扩散。     

3类生境下脐橙果实细胞壁酶、瓤囊壁超微结构和品质变化的研究

为改进脐橙果实质地和科学生态区划与高品质栽培技术提供理论依据,研究了四川3类不同生境下脐橙果实果胶甲酯酶(PE)、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)、纤维素酶(CX)、瓤囊壁超微结构及主要品质指标的变化。结果表明:果实生长发育期细胞壁酶活性逐渐升高,但不同生境类型的变化趋势不同。超微结构中,南亚热带攀枝花脐橙的线粒体明显,中胶层清晰,细胞壁形态结构较完整;中亚热带江安和中北亚热带雅安脐橙细胞壁的中胶层明显裂解,线粒体膜分解,细胞器空泡化。不同生境SSC和可溶性糖差异显著。PG酶活性与≥10℃积温、1月份平均气温、年平均气温显著负相关,与年降雨量显著正相关。固酸比与≥10℃积温、年平均气温、1月均气温极显著正相关,与日照时数极显著正相关,与降雨量显著负相关。     

4个绵羊品种MHC-DRB3基因外显子2的多态性分析

采用PCR-RFLP方法分析4个绵羊品种（阿勒泰羊、中国美利奴肉用多胎品系、湖羊和陶塞特羊）MHC-DRB3基因第2外显子的多态性，并进行聚类分析以及基因杂合度和多态信息含量的计算。结果表明：在绵羊MHC-DRB3基因第2外显子第122、154、168、220和241 bp碱基处表现出多态性；χ2适合性检验结果表明，4个绵羊群体MHC-DRB3基因的第2外显子的PstⅠ酶切位点达到了Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态，TaqⅠ和HaeⅢ酶切位点多态性均未达到Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态；4个绵羊群体基因杂合度和多态信息含量值分别在0.693～0.774和0.662～0.738之间，表明4个绵羊品种具有丰富的遗传多样性；聚类结果表明，中国美利奴肉用多胎羊和湖羊亲缘关系最近，阿勒泰羊和陶塞特羊关系较远，与实际选育过程一致，MHC-DRB3多态性可作为绵羊育种标记进一步研究。     

不同光增方式和周期对蛋鸡生产性能和血液生化指标的影响

研究光增方式和光照周期对蛋鸡蛋品质和血液生化指标的影响.将20周龄海兰褐商品蛋鸡320只,随机分为8组,每组4个重复,每个重复10只鸡.试验光照周期采用渐增和骤增2种,光周期设11L13D、13L11D、15L9D、17L7D 4个水平.结果表明①不同光增方式对蛋形指数和哈氏单位有显著影响(P＜0.05),以渐增条件下较好.不同光增方式对血液生化指标没有显著影响(P＞0.05).②不同光照周期对蛋黄颜色有显著影响(P＜0.05),以15L9D处理组蛋黄颜色最好.不同光照周期对血液生化指标有一定影响,以13L11D处理组较好.

Hemin induces and sustains the phosphorylation of Erk1/2 in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells

AIM: To investigate the relationship between hemin and Erk1/2 activation in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS: Cultured HUVECs were separately incubated with hemin or H₂O₂ for different times. Subsequently Erk1/2 phosphorylation and total Erk1/2 were determined by Western blotting assay. Flow cytometry was employed to determine the cell cycle distribution. RESULTS: Hemin at the concentration of 1-10 μmol/L induced the phosphorylation of Erk1/2 in HUVECs, and sustained the phosphorylation of Erk1/2 for three hours. The duration of phospho-Erk1/2 induced by hemin was much longer than that in H₂O₂ control (3 h vs 30 min). CONCLUSION: Hemin induces and sustains the phosphorylation of Erk1/2 in HUVECs, which indicates that the effect of hemin on the Erk1/2 activation may be one of pharmacological target of hemin.
